Chapter 11 Surgery
As the final rune of the Abyss Resonance Technique was imprinted deep within his soul, a fleeting purple glint flashed in Li Wei's eyes.
He could clearly sense that an invisible bridge had been erected, with the other end connecting to that surging subspace, where the vast pure energy was always at his disposal.
He has become a late-stage wizard apprentice, just one step away from becoming a full-fledged wizard.
"It really suits me; this Abyss Resonance Technique is truly domineering and unparalleled."
Li Wei felt the pulse resonating deep within his soul with the subspace, a faint purple flame flickering around his fingertips, his heart filled with indescribable amazement.
Three days after the Emperor left Prospero with Macado and the Imperial Guard, Magnus found Livy.
The usual weariness was gone from the face of this crimson giant; instead, it was replaced by the sharp edge of someone preparing for war.
The order for the Great Expedition has been sent to every legion, and the Thousand Sons must complete their reorganization within three years and head to the front lines.
"Li Wei, Qianzi owes you more than a simple thank you."
Magnus walked up to him, opened his palm, and a gene seed, entirely crimson with a golden thread embedded in its center, floated quietly, radiating a gentle yet powerful life force.
"This is a seed cultivated with my purest primordial cells. I have completely fused it with the extra drop of blood bestowed upon me by the Emperor. It will only make you stronger."
He paused, his tone incredibly solemn: "I hope you will undergo formal Space Marine transformation and become a true Thousand Sons warrior. Not just an honorary title, but a brother who can charge into battle alongside us, sharing life and death."
Li Wei looked at the gene seed that was shimmering with golden light without the slightest hesitation.
He was no longer the transmigrator who only wanted to survive. In the days that had passed, the trust of the Thousand Sons warriors and Magnus's honesty had made him consider this place his home.
"it is good."
Three days later, the Mechanicus Medical Sanctuary on the third underground level of the Pyramid of Futap was officially opened.
The team of biotechnologists from the Cult of Mechanics, who arrived with the Imperial fleet, had already transformed this place into a state-of-the-art Space Marine modification center.
The servo arms, flashing with binary runes, hummed, and rows of life support devices ticked rhythmically.
"The modification surgery will be handled entirely by me and my team."
The lead cyborg priest raised his head, revealing half of his face covered by a metal prosthetic limb. His voice had a mechanical quality. "Lord Amon and the psionic scholars from the five major schools will be responsible for the outer psionic barrier, isolating it from warp interference. The entire process will last for several years and will be divided into nineteen phases, each of which carries deadly risks."
Li Wei lay on the cold operating table, watching the medical servo arm slowly descend above his head, and took a deep breath.
The renovation has officially begun.
Phase One: Second Heart Implantation. A sophisticated artificial heart is implanted in the chest cavity, connected in parallel with the original heart, to ensure that bodily functions can continue normally even if the other heart is damaged.
Phase Two: Bone Strengthening. Nano-ceramic composite materials are injected into the entire skeleton, significantly increasing bone strength and size. The ribs in the chest are hardened and connected into a single bone plate, forming an indestructible chest shield.
Phase Three: Muscle Strengthening. Bioactive threads are woven into each muscle fiber, resulting in a geometric increase in muscle density and resilience, and explosive power far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Stage Four: Blood Regenerator. All red blood cells in the body are modified, increasing blood circulation and oxygen-carrying capacity several times over, enabling them to survive for extended periods in extremely hypoxic environments.
Phase Five: The Lariman Organ. A special gland, about the size of a walnut, is implanted in the neck and secretes a powerful clotting factor that can stop bleeding from any wound within seconds.
Phase Six: Ganglion Implantation. Special ganglia are implanted into the cerebral cortex, allowing for the regulation of different parts of the brain to take turns resting during periods of severe fatigue, enabling continuous, uninterrupted operation for several weeks.
Phase Seven: Pre-positioned Stomach. A second stomach is implanted into the abdominal cavity, capable of breaking down toxic substances, digesting organic matter that cannot be absorbed by the normal digestive system, and even extracting nutrients from tree bark and soil.
Stage Eight: Gene Detection Neural Networks. Specialized neural bundles connect the sense of taste to the hippocampus in the brain, allowing the ingestion of biological tissues to retrieve fragments of residual memories.
Phase Nine: Multiple Lung Implantation. A third lung lobe is implanted in the chest cavity, capable of filtering and extracting oxygen from oxygen-deficient or toxic air, and can also spray high-temperature airflow to burn enemies when necessary.
Phase 10: Visual Controller. A biochip implanted in the retina significantly enhances night vision capabilities and can switch between multiple visual modes such as thermal imaging and motion capture.
Stage Eleven: Lyman's Ear. The eardrum and ossicles are modified, increasing auditory sensitivity by thousands of times, enabling the differentiation of ultrasound and infrasound, and automatically filtering battlefield noise.
Phase Twelve: Artificial Meninges. A tough biological membrane covers the brain, which can force the body into a state of suspended animation in case of severe injury, greatly improving the survival rate on the battlefield.
Phase Thirteen: Pigment Controller. Pigment-regulating glands are implanted under the skin to change skin color according to the environment, while also resisting cosmic radiation of varying intensities.
Stage Fourteen: Stone Kidneys. Two highly efficient filter organs replace the original kidneys, accelerating internal and blood circulation and instantly breaking down most known toxins.
Stage Fifteen: Taste Detection. The taste buds are completely transformed, enabling them to accurately identify food ingredients and substances, even detecting trace amounts of toxins immediately.
Phase Sixteen: Strengthening Sweat Glands. All sweat glands throughout the body are restructured, and the composition of sweat changes, giving it self-cleaning and lubricating abilities, making it easy to wear power armor for extended periods without bacterial growth.
Stage Seventeen: Corrosive Glands. Special glands implanted under the tongue secrete highly toxic and corrosive saliva, a deadly weapon in close combat.
Stage 18: Gene Storage Glands. Two glands are implanted on either side of the neck. Over time, they will produce mature gene seeds, which are the core of the Legion's inheritance.
Stage Nineteen: Black Carapace Implantation. A layer of black biological carapace grows and forms under the skin, capable of resisting kinetic impacts and energy damage, and is also the sole carrier of the power carapace's neural interface.
Throughout the year, Li Wei teetered on the brink of life and death.
Each surgery was accompanied by excruciating pain, and several times he almost didn't make it through.
But whenever he lost consciousness, the golden light from the Emperor's blood merging into his body would always pull him back from the brink of death.
To his even greater surprise, the fusion of the gene seeds unexpectedly activated the Abyss Resonance Technique.
His connection with the subspace became stronger, and the energy that he used to have to actively draw in now flowed into his body spontaneously through his modified form.
The golden light left in the body by the Emperor's blood acts like a sophisticated filter, automatically removing all chaotic impurities and leaving only the purest source of spiritual energy.
