Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1468 The terrifying reaper mutant vampire

The origin of the Reaper virus is deeply rooted in the arrogant and tragic ambition of the pure-blood elder Eli Damakinos. This ancient and powerful vampire has long been troubled by two natural enemies, silver and ultraviolet rays, which limit their power and living space.

So, Eli Damakinos decided to use science as a sword, challenge the shackles of fate, and use the modern miracle of genetic technology to fundamentally erase those ancient and fragile weaknesses.

This experiment, hailed as the most daring and dangerous attempt in vampire history, quietly began in the secret laboratory of the Damakinos family.

The experiment was designed with great complexity, aiming to reshape the vampire's genetic sequence so that it could retain its original strength and speed while completely breaking free from the constraints of silver and light.

However, the boundaries of science are often accompanied by unknown risks, which has been most brutally verified in the clinical stage of experiments.

The eldest son of the great Makinos, Chad Norma, volunteered to be the first subject of this historic experiment.

He was young, strong, and full of endless longing for the future, but he didn't know that this would be a journey that would push him into the abyss.

In the early stages of the experiment, everything seemed to be developing in the expected direction. Chad Norma's strength and speed had a qualitative leap, as if heralding the dawn of a new era.

However, the good times did not last long. The side effects of the experiment emerged quietly like an undercurrent and eventually broke out in an almost cruel way.

Under the catalysis of the virus, Chad Norma's jaw slowly split in the middle, forming a horrifying crack.

This crack not only widened his hunting range, but also gave him unprecedented devouring ability, as if it was compensation given to him by nature to make up for this mutation.

Inside the cracked jaw, rows of sharp fangs are randomly distributed. These fangs are not only tools of attack, but also the source of secreting muscle relaxants.

Once the venom is injected into the prey's body, the prey will lose the ability to resist in a very short time, and the blood flow will accelerate, providing Chad Norma with a richer and fresher source of nutrition.

This strange physiological structure is not only for the convenience of hunting, but also a direct manifestation of the "Reaper" virus wreaking havoc in its body.

The virus reshaped Chad Norma's body at an almost crazy speed, giving him unprecedented strength and speed, but also pushing his need for blood to the extreme.

The faster metabolism is like a blazing flame, which not only makes his muscles as hard as steel and his strength far beyond that of ordinary people, but also makes his veins flow with an endless desire for fresh blood.

Every few hours, the hunger from deep in his bones would surge like a tide, forcing him to embark on the hunting journey again to find the next innocent victim.

This desire for blood was like a bottomless abyss, devouring his reason and humanity, and gradually turning him into a slave to desire.

What is even more horrifying is that the original tongue has now mutated into a thick muscle tube. This tube is like an efficient blood extractor that can suck out an adult's entire body blood in a very short time.

Chad Norma had witnessed how he could turn a strong human into a shrunken shell in two minutes. However, the price Chad Norma paid was far more than that. The "Reaper" virus not only reshaped his body, but also deprived him of his dignity and hope as a man.

His reproductive organs gradually degenerated under the erosion of the virus and eventually fell off completely. This change dealt a devastating blow to his psychology.

He began to question his father's decisions, resent his fate, and felt deeply disappointed and angry with vampire society.

This anger eventually turned into a secret act of revenge. He began to create chaos in the vampire world and challenged those high-ranking, cold-blooded elders in his own way.

Those victims who are unfortunately bitten by Chad Norma, whether they are humans or vampires, will quickly mutate and become new "reapers" as long as their blood is not completely sucked dry.

These new reapers have striking similarities to Chadnorma in terms of physiological structure - split jaws, sharp fangs, muscular tongues... However, they have significant defects in intelligence and are closer to beasts than humans.

Their behavior patterns are completely based on instinct, lacking rationality and judgment, and they only know how to pursue blood and survival.

In some extreme cases, when lacking sufficient fresh blood, these reapers will even resort to cannibalism to sustain their own life fire.

This cruel and primitive way of survival makes them a terrifying existence in the vampire world.

After listening to Chang Wei's detailed analysis of the Reaper virus, Tony showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

"In other words, even if we leave them alone, these monsters will consume themselves due to the lack of resources and eventually perish?"

He asked tentatively, with a hint of luck in his tone.

Chang Wei shook his head.

"In theory, this is true, but the mysteries of life are far beyond our imagination and control. The strangeness and unpredictability of the biological world often catch us off guard."

"For example, regarding the issue of reproductive organ degeneration, Bruce Banner indeed discovered in his research that these Reaper mutant vampires lacked key parts representing reproductive functions in their body tissues and organs. But this does not mean that they have never had the ability to reproduce."

He paused, as if weighing every word that followed. "Before degeneration and shedding, these organisms may have experienced a period of rapid evolution. Imagine if their metabolic rate was abnormally accelerated. In order to cope with such rapid physiological changes, their reproduction mechanism may also be strengthened in a short period of time to ensure the continuation of the population. After all, in nature, any trait that is conducive to survival is likely to be retained, no matter how incredible this trait may seem."

"Before degeneration and shedding, these organisms may have gone through a transitional stage, when their reproductive organs existed but may not have been fully developed, or existed in a form that we have not yet understood. As the virus deepened, these organs gradually lost their original functions and eventually degenerated. But this does not mean that they did not contribute to population reproduction before degeneration occurred."

Both Tony and Bruce Banner realized that what Chang Wei said was correct.
