Chapter 86: Thanatophage
So it didn’t have a nucleus after all.
Blaze shook his head before dusting off his clothes.
He had hoped that the Headless, despite not having a head, would have a nucleus somewhere in its body.
There wasn’t a single ounce of flesh that he didn’t tear apart while looking for it. Yet, he didn’t find anything. He even tried eating the flesh to see if it’d trigger a memory or something.
Apparently, the Headless didn’t have an organ capable of storing memories or knowledge.
Its existence alone made Blaze question the very rules of the living.
Even zombies needed a brain to function. And apart from a few worms and aquatic creatures, he hadn’t heard of a single organism that could survive without one.
I should have dissected it carefully.
Blaze frowned, annoyed by his desperate moves before. He lost his cool and destroyed a research-worthy subject.
If only he had kept the Headless intact, he could have deciphered the secret behind the necroseed, as well as the secret to immortality.
After all, if he could somehow get rid of his brain and still function, killing him would be next to impossible. It wasn’t the brightest idea he had had, but it was still something. Unlike the nucleus which was missing.
Maybe I accidentally absorbed the nucleus while siphoning its body mass.
