Bizarre Realm

——"Agile Spine: This invasive implant replaces the recipient’s nerves and spinal column, including the spinal cord, with a more flexible and efficient version. This grants the recipient a +5 racial bonus on initiative checks, balance checks, escape artist checks, tumble checks, etc."

——"Healing Blood: This unique transplant completely replaces the blood within the organism. The original blood of the organism is entirely drained and replaced with a magical liquid with blood-like properties, granting it the extra ability for rapid medical recovery." [Upgradeable modification, after transplanting hematopoietic organs, the regenerated blood of the creature will automatically convert into healing blood.]

——"Reinforced Bones: This implant alters and reinforces the skeletal structure of the recipient organism, making it much sturdier. Alien skeletal modification can increase the creature’s constitution by 2-5 points."

——"Enhanced Heart: This complex implant strengthens the recipient’s heart and cardiovascular system, augmenting abilities influenced by the heart. If the recipient’s hit points drop below 1 but are not yet below -10, the implant will immediately unleash a surge of magical healing energy, restoring 4d8+20 hit points."

——"Alien Muscle: This implant alters and strengthens the existing muscles of the recipient organism. It can increase the creature’s strength by 2-5 points."

——"Alien Tendons: This implant replaces the tendons of the recipient organism, making it more agile and coordinated. Alien tendons can increase the creature’s dexterity by 2-5 points."

These are the biological modification technologies of the Alien Monster Empire.

Shawn flipped through the data stream within his mind and discovered many impractical modification surgeries, such as the implantation of a dark eye, limb tentacle transformation, and transplantation of magic skin. The aliens of the Distant Realm possess highly advanced biotechnology, allowing their modified forms to integrate the special abilities of other races.

"Prioritize the modification of [Healing Blood]."

After pondering for a moment, Shawn said, "Concentrate efforts on breaking through the second stage of the healing blood modification, incorporating the transplant of hematopoietic organs into the Star Warrior’s modification plan."

"Agile Spine as an alternative."

"What I want is a ’Refined Gold Spine,’ but it can be considered for inclusion in the Star Realm Army’s modification surgeries."

"Eliminate the modification surgery for ’Chitin Armor.’"

"Without the black carapace, there’s no need to replace it with chitin armor. It only adds a point of innate armor, which is not very effective; protective capabilities can be supplemented by other means."

Sealed Object No. 1 replied, "Understood."

Shawn thought for a moment and asked, "How many Star Warrior modification surgeries have been completed?"

Sealed Object No. 1 replied, "Currently, there are 7 formal surgeries incorporated and 4 surgeries as alternatives, totaling 11 biological modification surgeries."

These modification surgeries are not just about amplification; they also need sustainability, at least the ability to obtain corresponding modified curios.

Shawn nodded and said, "That’s about right."

"Prepare for orbital drop combat training, let them practice with some evil objects."

Sealed Object No. 1 replied, "Combat training plan is being arranged."

The alien biotechnology possesses extremely high resistance and can only be used by body-side-enhanced Transcendents. Shawn currently has a large number of biological modification technologies, but very few are actually usable, and the cost of materials is extremely expensive.

The cost of a complete Star Warrior modification surgery is no less than that of a full legendary level equipment.

After dealing with the Mechanical Heart, Shawn’s figure headed into the underground chamber beneath the Brain Pool Temple, where a semi-mad Otherworld visitor was imprisoned.

——Dandy-Quick.

——15th-level Mage/9th-level Aberrant Specialist [Otherworld Visitor] (Challenge Level 22)?!

Shawn didn’t expect this guy to be so strong.

Upon sensing the commotion outside, the disheveled man ahead lifted his head, bloodshot eyes staring at Shawn. His dark pupils seemed about to pop out of their sockets, his hoarse voice demanding, "The Eternal Exile Scripture?... Give me the Eternal Exile Scripture!..."

Aberrant Specialist.

The ’Eternal Exile Scripture’ records a special Extraordinary Path, requiring casting-side professionals to advance, turning one into the alien race in full form, assimilating into the biology of the Distant Realm.

A strange black-leather book appeared in Shawn’s palm, trembling slightly as if alive. Under the Spiritual Vision, countless void tendrils extended from the pages, and the cover reflected a spiral pattern, seemingly revealing the truth of another universe.

"The Eternal Exile Scripture!!!..."

The aberrant specialist before him seemed mad, murmuring, "Give it to me!... Give it to me!... I’m just one step short!..."

"Ascension is right before me!..."

The laws of the Distant Universe differ from other Crystal Wall Systems. This guy couldn’t domesticate Activated Knowledge and has lost most of his casting ability in madness. Yet, unlike other Otherworld visitors, he passively adapts to Activated Knowledge, though the process requires initial insanity.

Shawn sat down leisurely, turning a page of the Eternal Exile Scripture, calmly asking, "How did you come here?"

——"Aberrant Specialist [Ascension Profession]: They are those who make pacts with fearsome forces and creatures from distant times and spaces. For aberrant specialists, the greatest mental satisfaction is to acquire magic power that transcends physical traits, time, and rationality.

With knowledge and determination, they explore the fringes of space-time. In the distant realm beyond space-time, grand thoughts drift, fixated solely on these mad acts. Unknown beings reveal terrible secrets to those daring to engage in exchange; secrets not meant for mortals to know, yet the aberrant specialists dive in, convinced of their transcendence to saintliness."

——"Innate Specializations: Insane Obsession, Aberrant Familiar, Ageless Body, Aberrant Transformation, and so on."

Aberrant Specialist Dandy clutched his head in pain, "I don’t know!..."

"I don’t know!... Give me the Eternal Exile Scripture!..."

"Knowledge is devouring my brain!..."

Shawn read his memory, but there was no recollection of travel to the Distant Realm. Perhaps some unknown force obscured it. After pondering for a moment, he gently raised a hand, and the Eternal Exile Scripture flew before the other.

Buzz!

At the moment of contact with the Eternal Exile Scripture, the aberrant specialist began to ascend. Just shy of the last step, with the ascension level rising to 10, his physique started to change. This human mage was transformed into an alien, fine tendrils sprouting from his chin, an eyeball dangling from his forehead, lumps appearing on his skin, organs mutating, bones disappearing from his fingers, and so on until all changes ended, his madness finally easing a bit.

"Did I reach the Distant Realm?" A trace of rationality emerged in his voice.

Shawn’s Mind Fortress took effect; the aberrant specialist before him slowly lifted his gaze, his eyes resembling slightly bulging fish eyes, but soon returning to human form. Activated Knowledge is assimilating with his brain; unlike other Otherworld visitors, he passively adapted to these laws, his body gradually showing alien characteristics.

"Yes."

Shawn nodded slightly, gently raising a hand; a chair automatically flew before him, and he calmly said, "Tell me about the other worlds. Where do you come from?"

"I’m very interested in how to reach other Crystal Wall Systems!"

Otherworld visitors can enter the Distant Realm, so the natives here should also be able to go to other Crystal Wall Systems. This is Aemon’s final arrangement: if the stars align and the ancients awaken, without enough preparation, efforts must be made to send some people away.

With Su’en deceased, the ancient ones entrenched here began to stir, and signs of preemptive awakening in the Bizarre Realm appeared gradually.

Aberrant Specialist Dandy was silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly, "I come from the Overseas Islands of the Ferren Plane, a place called Modo City."

"It’s extremely difficult to enter the Distant Realm."

"I accidentally crossed the spatial turbulence from the Sea of Chaos to get here."

He raised his arm, revealing a horrific scar that couldn’t be erased, bearing the corrosive power of chaos. The aberrant specialist whispered, "This scar was left by the Chaos Giant Toad."

"The Ebony Magic Mirror can guide through the spatial turbulence leading to other Crystal Wall Systems."

"But it’s extremely dangerous!"

"I encountered the Mad Lady Sindam."

Sindam, the Mad Lord of the Slime Toad, as one of the earliest and strongest Slime Toad Lords, possesses zero intelligence and perception (unratable), a state very close to ancient power.
