Chapter 364 - Test 1,2 and 3

Rather serious with this lifespan prolongation activity and goal, carrying a main reason behind it followed along by sub reasons that wouldn't really affect the main plan. But, how did he even start? It is not like Demons are breaking from the beaches of Gaster Kingdom.

Well, to make this test at least possible, he asked for help from a rather special and in many terms crazy as much as he is powerful. King Michael asked for help, from Mogranius' father.

Considering that Mogranius' father isn't physically here? How did King Michael make this possible? Well for approximately 4 hours he has spend his time talking to fish! Small ones at least, grabbing them and pulling them out of the water and shouting. "Can you hear me Mogranius' Father? I don't know your name but I need Demon meat!"

How would King Michael talking to fish neccesarily connect to Mogranius' father you might ask? And why would King Michael do such a thing in a middle of a working day, making everyone think that he is crazy?

Well the reason is rather simple, but at the same time it is complicated. Mogranius' father is of the evolved, he has special powers that far out stretch from the main 8 and could be a mix of 3 Inner Demons.

Mogranius' father, can see through animal eyes. It is still uncertain if the animals know it when or when not he is using their eyes, but it proves one fact. He could be watching anyone at any time, he was blessed with such a capability due to consumption of Demon meat and exposure to the very Source of Fire he is guarding.

So in a way, King Michael yelling at fish for 4 hours makes sense. It is always the ones with the oddest ideas who they call crazy, but it didn't stop him because regardless, he is the King around these parts.

And furthermore it worked, Becky showed up on the shores of Gaster Kingdom with a freshly killed Demon in her mouth, and another around her nose too. To give you a little refresher, Becky is a Swordfish. She and Mogranius' father are friends.

Being this large, and being so close to the King. The surrounding Spearfishermen were quick to approach her, raising their spears up to toss them against her.

Noticing their intentions, King Michael shouted. "Lower your spears, this is a friend." They have many reasons to toss a spear against a sword fish almost double in size compared to the average ones, if they only knew that mutation explains her size.

Turning back to Becky, he spoke. "Thank you, send your master my regards." Rubbing Becky's back slightly after, he pulled the Demon from her nose and asked one of the Spearmen to come and carry it.

As for the second Demon... I'd like to call it corpse? But their behaviours are too animalistic, they can't be considered as intelligent beings. However getting back to the point, he put the second Demon carcass over his shoulder and walked out of the waters, feeling it by the sudden motion of waves that Becky has made her way out of here.

...

The goal and expectation from the Demon meat is to prolong Alama's lifespan, possibly stretch it as long as a Kastarian's average life span (700). Most specifically, King Michael wants Alama to live as long as he does.

But of course directly making her digest Demon meat can have consequences that they do not please to get, I mean the odds of receiving a prolonged life span from its consumption isn't even known, she could get it or she could get horns as well and badly damage her brain too.

The goal here is to filter the bad and unwanted effects of eating Demon meat and focus on one only, prolonging life span. But of course to achieve this goal, tens to hundreds to thousands of tests have to be done.

What's the rush really? Alama turned 28 on last july, it is fair to say that she has at least 40 years to live. Maybe King Michael can filter out the bad effects of consuming Demon meat by that time, no rush.

But if not testing it on Humans, where exactly could he test it on? Well, something that he can afford to test this on, Rats!

Although some might not favour to test such an experiment on animals, seeing it as rude and uncalled for especially since the goal is in half terms personal, King Michael actually has no intends of hurting these rats. It is better than using it on Humans after all, he doesn't need a deranged mutated Human running wild in his Domain.

Although he doesn't have exact specifics, the Demon meat will most likely not kill the Rats, it will just mutate their original form and shape it randomly, or perhaps it is not randomly?

How did he get the Rats you might ask? Simple, although the Guards risked a possible infection from bites. He made Guards put in several cages throughout the Kingdom, and afterwards placed foods that give an odour strong enough to attract rodents, he put in half rotten meat on those cages.

It is fair to say that it became a success, he has 3 rats captured and the cages have been reset. Who knows how many Rats can be here?

"Are you sure this isn't dangerous?" Alama asked, being in the same... Let's say Laboratory with him. He has a few spare rooms here, no one really uses them.

"I have absolutely no idea." He answered boldly, although his enthusiasm made it sound like a joke. "That's what tests are for, plus they are just rats in a Cage. They have limited capabilities regardless of the mutation."

"You have a point." She complimented, and watched King Michael proceed with a test.

To see which body part meat or organ grants what, he grabbed the toe of the terribly smelling Demon and sliced it off with an Iron Dagger. The Demon is bashed in the other edge of this room, releasing a terrible odour but thankfully the opened window helped deal with some of the damage.

Wearing a pair of leather gloves so he doesn't get more bloody and smelly than he already is thanks to the Demon he carried, he sliced through the toe with ease, slicing it several times so the first Rat can consume it easier.

"Let's see if this one will eat it." He spoke, curious and enthusiastic about this procedure as if he didn't just slice Demon meat.

Dropping the meat in the cage, turning his gaze towards Alama after and asking. "Are you ready to write?"

Of course every bit of this experience needs to be written down, so they know what they are doing in the future and narrow experiments down. Alama has written it in this order, "Demon Toe, Rat as the Consumer ="

"Ready." She answered, and already noticing how the little Rat in the cage is changing.

"Are Rats supposed to have legs this big?" He asked after giving another glance at the Rat, noticing that it's read legs got so big that its face planted in the cage base.

"I don't think so!" She answered after taking a few steps closer to the cage. "Look, it's standing." She pointed, and afterwards the Rat's legs grew just a hunch more.

Interesting enough, now its rear legs are as big as its whole body and they are seemingly packed with muscles. Out of a sudden, it jumped with its rear legs forward and hit the roof of the cage.

The Cage lifted up just by an inch thanks to the impact. Marixha, King Michael's mutated Bunny was spooked a little bit by this behaviour because it woke her up. She followed them here earlier and fell asleep because these two Humans talk too much. Marixha already started hating the Rats, she dashed out of the room.

"Amazing." King Michael admired and placed a wooden plank over it. It might be just enough to hold down the Cage from falling from the table it is set at. "Write this down, this mix increases Leg size and muscle!"

Afterwards he went towards the Demons again, sliced a bit of meat from their stomachs and brought it back to the table, sliced it several times before he threw it on the other Rat's cave. "Write this down." He requested, looking at the Rat and explaining. "Demon waist, Rat as the Consumer="

"Got you." She answered, and as she wrote it down the Rat has already consumed portions of the meat and is going through changes...

However these Changes took a bit longer to notice, and he probably wouldn't have if he didn't notice the Rat walking weirdly. Squatting to take a look from below, he noticed that the Rat's buck teeth have at least tripled in length and are scratching the base of the Cage.

"Interesting, I expected an increase or decrease in the abdominal area really." He showed a bit of dissatisfaction, because these experiments are making one thing certain, these mutations can be random. "Write it down, this mix results to buck teeth size growth by at least three times."

Going towards the Demon once more, utilizing the last Rat as an aim. He sliced a chunk of meat from the Demon's head and came back to the third Cage. Requesting from Alama, "Write this down. Demon Head, Rat as the Consumer."

Of course they both got used of this procedure already and Alama actually started writing things down before King Michael even asked, shows rather admirable productivity really.

The Rat consumed the Demon meat, and afterwards started running fast around the Cage's walls, ceiling and base as well. It ran so fast that the Cage started shaking mildly, he had to put a plank over it and it stopped most of the rumble.

Enthusiastic about this one, getting a thought of super fast running soldiers in mind or at least instant message delivery, he requested. "Write this down, this mix increases running speed. This could be an evolution that can grant instant super speed, it needs testing."
