American comics: To become a god at the beginning, I choose to practice both science and magic

After knowing the specific location of the appearance of Tiamut, Dane quickly issued an order for Umbrella and Atlas to occupy the land.

They went there to set up an outpost in the name of exploring marine species and environmental protection.

At this time, it was still unknown which country the nameless island belonged to. If it belonged to an unowned land, Umbrella would occupy it directly.

Even if it belonged to someone, Umbrella could buy it with its money.

But this process would not take too long. At this time, it was still several years before the appearance of the god, and the depth of Tiamut could only be known through drilling exploration.

Therefore, Dane first checked the genes of the Eternals with the help of Ajak, and finally confirmed that the Celestials did not set up any backdoors in it.

"Does he trust you so much?"

"That's not surprising." Ajak replied: "Because we are too small for them, would you make so many arrangements for an ant that you can easily kill with your hands?"

That's not necessarily true.

Dane thought to himself that it is still necessary to be cautious at all times.

"In that case, why did Alisem design you to deal with the mutants?"

"He can actually do it himself, right?"

If Alisem wants to kill the mutants, he doesn't even need to snap his fingers, he just needs to blow a breath.

"The mutants are different. They are the original creations. When Arism created these creatures, he wanted to try his best to make them closer to nature."

Ajak said solemnly: "So he gave them something very important, the infinite possibility of evolution."

"Naturally evolved creatures may evolve into intelligent life forms under various coincidences, and mutants also have this characteristic."

"At the beginning, they were just simple beasts, following the instinct written into their genes by Arism, and would only hunt predators that were also a threat to intelligent life."

"But as time went on, they began to co-evolve with other creatures, and because Arism let them go at the beginning, they evolved thousands of times faster than normal native creatures!"

Dane raised his eyebrows. No wonder the mutants would rebel and turn from the guardian of intelligent life into a predator.

When a species evolves thousands of times faster than other species, then this dominant species should gain dominance on the planet.

This is what happens to humans.

Perhaps those intelligent species that were originally protected by the mutants were surpassed in intelligence by the mutants before they were civilized.

Then the mutants, whose wildness has not faded, will certainly not be willing to act as a guardian. How can low-level species be qualified to be protected by them?

If two completely different intelligent species appear on the same planet, the probability of them being able to live in harmony is zero.

Even humans of the same origin will conquer each other because of differences in skin color, beliefs, culture, and interests..

Species of different origins are even more of a life-and-death competition. The mutants will disobey orders and become predators. Dane is not surprised.

"So after this failure, Arsem chose to create you."

"That's right." Ajak nodded.

You should know that before the birth of the Eternals, the Celestials have always used the mutants as a tool.

So wherever Arsem planted the Celestial seeds, he sowed the mutants.

Not only on Earth, but in the entire universe, the mutants spread like a virus, seriously hindering the survival of some intelligent races.

It's like the crops in the field have insects. Arsem can't go to the field to catch the insects himself, right?

So of course it is most convenient to directly make "insecticides". The Eternals are the insecticides he made.

Of course, not only that, Arsem is also very interested in the transformation process of the mutants, which is also one of his research topics.

"I have been following Arsem for a long time, and even participated in his research on genetics."

Ajak continued.

The Eternals were not so powerful at the beginning. As far as Ajak knew, the original version of the Eternals was actually only slightly stronger than the Kree.

At that time, the Eternals needed to use some more advanced weapons and equipment to eliminate the mutants.

But weapons are always durable.

And the Eternals usually stay on a planet for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

No matter how they are maintained, once they are used frequently, even the strongest weapons will age and become ineffective.

At the same time, their mortal enemy, the mutants, are still evolving crazily.

But the Eternals were locked in their evolutionary path by Arsem. They have no reproductive ability, so it is impossible for them to continue to improve, but the mutants can be replaced from generation to generation.

In the long run, it will evolve into a situation where the mutants will hunt down the Eternals in turn.

And the Eternals have a ban. They can help the local intelligent races reproduce, but they cannot directly intervene in their evolution process.

When using weapons to fight, no one can guarantee that they will not lose their equipment during the battle. (To read the novels of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Once the local natives pick up something that should not appear, it will inevitably greatly affect the direction of their historical evolution, which is also a factor that must be considered.

Therefore, Alisem hopes to create a species that can arm itself with its own abilities without relying on external forces.

This is the origin of the current Eternals.

Of course, this whole process did not happen overnight. The Eternals had countless versions before they evolved into what they are today, and not every version was a humanoid creature.

In order to integrate into the local environment, the Eternals usually adjust according to the appearance of local intelligent life.

On Earth, the Eternals look like Earthlings, and in Jotunheim, the Eternals should look like frost giants.

Fortunately, in the entire Marvel Universe, humanoid races always occupy the majority, so the basic template of the Eternals basically does not need to be changed.

"What gene expression is the Eternals' superpower based on?"

Ajak immediately pointed out a segment of his own gene to Dane after hearing this.

The pointed segment on the double helix structure emitted golden light.

"This segment is the source of my healing ability." Then she turned her finger to the other side: "This segment is the genome segment that absorbs the free cosmic energy from the outside world."

"The ten of us, each superpower gene will be expressed in different base sequence groups, but the gene expression group that absorbs cosmic energy is consistent."

Dane looked carefully for a while and found that these genes are all base pairs located in redundant gene segments.

These are considered to be the parts that do not participate in the expression of traits in the same gene position of humans.

This also confirmed his guess that when Arism was transforming this group of Eternals, he did refer to the human genome.

This means that humans can also obtain the same physiological transformation through genetic engineering.

After understanding this, Dane began to experiment on his own body.

He was already familiar with his own genetic information, so he started from the internal organs and tried to modify the corresponding fragments of his own genes.

After a while, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Normal genetic engineering requires a long time for the body to adapt to genetic changes, and various complex surgeries, tissue culture and implantation are required during this period.

But Dane accelerated this process by controlling his own body, and wanted to complete it in just a few minutes.

This bold behavior unsurprisingly caused the body's instinctive backlash, but it didn't take long for the powerful self-healing ability to eliminate this backlash.

At the same time, a small piece of tissue in his body had completed the corresponding genetic modification.

With Dane's deliberate support, it began to change its characteristics rapidly.

A large number of corresponding amino acids and macromolecular proteins, plums, glands, and mitochondria grew wildly in his body. Just a change less than the size of a fingernail almost drained half of his biological energy.

But the result was also gratifying. Soon, he felt an energy different from the ten rings slowly growing in his body.

It felt like the Qi obtained during cultivation. The somewhat cold energy began to grow in his body and slowly spread from the transformed parts to the whole body.

He can now absorb cosmic energy from the void like the Eternals. .
