CHAPTER 255: CHAPTER 174: ABYSS RESEARCH LOG (3)

Of course, this also comes with great risks: the instability and pollution risk of abyssal energy, which are considered top-tier dangers in any modulator’s manual.

"Boldly hypothesize, cautiously verify." Ron reminded himself, "Any experiment must be conducted under completely controllable conditions."

He closed the cabinet that stored the Scorpion organization again and recorded the preliminary ideas in the experiment log in his mind.

Ron labeled it as the "Abyss Fusion Project," where he concisely listed the safety measures and cessation conditions for each experimental phase.

"This is not a task that can be completed overnight, requiring extensive preparatory work and repeated validation."

His notes in the Library of Consciousness finally recorded: "But the potential rewards justify such cautious investment."

Stepping out of the laboratory, sunlight spilled through the windows onto the floor, forming a warm golden area.

In the yard, Dale was playing with Lilia, the laughter of the silver-haired Little Sea Siren resonating crisply over the workshop.

And not far away, the tall ancient tree stood silently, waiting for its final moment of transformation.

.........

In the laboratory, Ron was carefully operating a series of complex equipment.

"Stabilize... stabilize..." Ron murmured, his Spiritual Power guiding the energy flow with thread-like precision.

Before him, a thumb-sized piece of Scorpion heart tissue was immersed in a specially formulated Magic Liquid, its surface flickering with faint blue-purple light.

The "Bloodline Shaping" advanced skill enabled him to adjust the energy structure of abyssal organizations with unprecedented precision.

Separating the abyssal traits from those of surface world organisms, then recombining them into a more stable form.

This was his seventh attempt, with the first six ending in failure—either the energy structure collapsed or the abyssal traits were completely neutralized.

"This time, I must find the balancing point..."

He had systematically recorded his findings in a specially crafted notebook, titled "Abyss Research Log."

Every experiment, whether successful or failed, had detailed records and analysis.

The "Abyssal Creatures Atlas" has clearly stated a concept once: the essence of abyssal creatures is, in fact, a special existence capable of accepting and assimilating rules from alternate spaces.

While they are trapped by the abyss’s curse, they also gain special abilities beyond those of surface world organisms.

Ron had recorded his aspirational goals in the "Abyss Research Log":

"The key is to find a way to extract this transcendent ability while filtering out the erosive nature of the curse."

As the tissue in the Petri dish began to show stable pulsation, Ron cautiously added a solution.

The solution appeared pearly white, with subtle colorful specks flickering within.

Since the Scorpion is only a 3rd Floor abyssal creature, the curse it carries only manifests physically.

Therefore, after all life professions advanced to Two Stars, he could barely have some clues on how to counteract and purify the effects through various linkage effects.

If it involved deeper levels related to consciousness or even soul, then he would be completely powerless, avoiding it altogether...

And when the liquid he modulated contacted the abyssal organization, an inaudible "war" began.

The energy within the white liquid and the curse left by the abyss engaged in a fierce tug-of-war at the microscopic level.

With the traits of "Insight" and "Extraordinary Recognition," Ron could clearly "see" this process.

The curse energy was gradually separated and neutralized, while the organism’s inherent special adaptive ability was preserved.

"Succeeded?" He was somewhat pleased to see the tissue in the Petri dish gradually turning into a healthy reddish-brown.

Its surface no longer had the unique blue glow of the abyss, but its internal energy structure was intact.

Yet the next moment, Ron’s joy was disrupted.

He seemed to have rejoiced too soon...
