Under the focused gaze of Damian, Bai Jingyan watched as the scales of the Sky Apostle, the bones of the Ocean Apostle, and some alloy liquid mixed together, forming a new liquid substance.

This liquid looked like grease, radiating a dazzling light due to the high temperature!

Bai Jingyan suddenly felt a burst of palpitations, for reasons unknown – perhaps due to the high-temperature reaction or something else.

"Immediately extract the experimental product for solidification testing!" Damian knew it was time for him to act. He ordered the staff to pour a portion of the melted mixture into a slot for rapid cooling. After cooling, they extracted a piece of solid metal about the size of a fingertip!

The "metal" looked like a work of art, golden in color and covered in scale-like ripples. Even after cooling and hardening, it was still incredibly hot, feeling like holding a ball of fire in the palm of one's hand!

"This thing contains enormous energy!" Damian made an accurate judgment the moment he touched it. He placed the metal into the operating table and, following the previous procedure, injected an additive containing the mixed Ocean Apostle gene into the metal.

As the liquid washed over the metal body, the metal, which should have been an inanimate object, suddenly trembled, like an egg about to hatch, struggling to push outwards!

"Its reaction is very strong!" Bai Jingyan became excited.

The reaction of this metal was the most sensitive and intense among tens of thousands of tests. Immersed in the additive, the metal was almost like a baby in amniotic fluid, as if it would completely come alive in the next second!

"That's... what?" Damian suddenly noticed something was wrong. The metal immersed in the additive was now extending countless tiny, hair-like tendrils. These tendrils spread outwards, as if trying to grab something, looking as terrifying as the claws of a ghost.

"These are... active capture threads!" Bai Jingyan laughed loudly. He grabbed Damian's shoulder and said excitedly, "We succeeded! This metal has become active! It's autonomously extending outwards, trying to capture energy to strengthen itself!"

Bai Jingyan cut open his palm and dripped a drop of blood into the experimental device.

The tendrils outside the metal seemed like sharks that had smelled blood, instantly surrounding the drop of blood and devouring it in an instant!

After devouring the drop of blood, the color of the entire metal became more vivid, and the tendrils wriggled even faster.

"Conduct a live experiment immediately!" Damian said excitedly upon seeing this.

Soon, under the operation of the staff, the metal was again cast into the shape of a small piece of armor. A white mouse, as the experimental subject, was quickly brought up. After putting the armor on it, the mouse didn't understand what was happening and just blinked its eyes, sniffing around non-stop.

Without any hesitation, Bai Jingyan used a Dragon Tooth steel knife to cut through the armor on the mouse's body, which was as thin as cicada wings, and its neck, causing blood to spurt out.

The small armor on its body suddenly contracted sharply after being damaged, and a large number of blood-colored tendrils instantly extended, piercing into the mouse's wound, sucking it into a mouse flake in the blink of an eye...

And after sucking blood, the wound on the armor healed instantly!

"It has already achieved the ability to devour life to replenish itself! But we still need to add a function to this armor to distinguish between friend and foe..." Bai Jingyan said with excitement, turning to Damian, "Now it's up to you!"
