The self-healing cells went berserk. This was a state that Ron was very familiar with.
Just as he had caused autophagy in his body due to excessive use of his self-healing ability several times, it was a self-preservation behavior in which cells began to endlessly devour all surrounding flesh and blood to ensure their own survival when energy was insufficient.
Even if he could survive being cut into pieces by Shanks, he definitely didn't want to try the consequences of being completely devoured by self-healing cells. The maddening hunger and burning sensation in his abdominal cavity made him want to I still had lingering fears when I woke up.
In that state, he felt like he didn't even have reason anymore, and just wanted to eat up everything in front of him that stored energy.
Even... human flesh!
To sum it up simply, it’s appetite.
An all-devouring appetite!
That's what happened to Priestley.
But it has nothing to do with him as a "person", it's just the spontaneous behavior of that group of cell tissues.
There is a very simple truth, why are self-healing cells self-healing cells
Because both the phagocytic and healing functions will stop actively!
After the original tissue is restored to its original state, unless the energy is exhausted and urgently needed to be replenished, it will stop the devouring behavior and return to its usual inert state.
Then the question comes... why does it stop
The answer is obvious.
These are Ron's cells. The memory engraved deep in the genes allows each cell to have a fixed position and to what extent it can "rest". It is organized and clear in Ron's body.
In other living bodies, the genetic information was completely inconsistent with Ron's. The self-healing cells immediately thought that the body was still in a severely damaged state, so they decisively devoured all accessible energy around them in an attempt to completely repair the body.
As a result, self-healing cells run rampant.
"You've done a really good job, Vegapunk."
Based on intelligence, Ron determined that Vegapunk had cloned a copy of himself.
But unlike ordinary clones, he only provides unlimited energy for those blood, and then these cells naturally grow and combine to form another "Ron".
Ron hasn't had time to investigate the specific information, because he is waiting for Vegapunk to complete the experiment and use this method to have an army of clones.
Like the relationship between a bear and a pacifist.
There is nothing wrong with Vegapunk's thinking, and there is nothing wrong with the effect of the universal genetic fluid. They just underestimated the terrible phagocytosis of Ron cells.
Facing Priestley's body full of Styx virus is like a goat waking up a pack of hungry wolves. The wolves will not stop until they have eaten all their opponents.
certainly…
This is Ron's own business.
The Five Old Stars didn't understand the mystery. After the thumb-thick nutrient solution tube was pulled out, Priestley did not stop changing. His figure suddenly became slimmer, and he had a tendency to evolve towards being skinny and skinny.
Seeing this, the bearded Five Old Stars roared loudly.
"He's going to kill Vegapunk, use your smart brain to think of a way!"
"No need, it's already... too late..."
The heavy-faced Vegapunk shook his head slowly, then opened a corner of the console and pressed the red button.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amidst the impact, glass walls quickly rose from around the test platform, and steel plates several centimeters thick fell from them, sealing Priestley inside.
"What are you doing?!"
The bearded Five Old Star roared angrily.
"The rampage of self-healing cells is an irreversible process! Stopping the energy supply is just to prevent them from getting enough nutrients and carry out limited replication!"
Faced with the question from the Five Old Stars, Vegapunk replied: "Because you absolutely don't want to see... what it will become after receiving unlimited nutrition supply."
Having said this, he looked through the glass window at the figure sitting on the sofa watching the show.
"Master Canglong, can you please take action to kill it?"
"Oh? Of course."
Another purpose of coming here to observe is to prevent accidents from happening.
Naturally, there is also the purpose of wiping one's butt.
Ron jumped up, smashed the glass window in the next second, and landed on the steel plate.
"Just get rid of it, right?"
"That's right."
Nodding solemnly, Vegapunk replied: "Please give him a normal death before he turns into pus."
When the self-healing cells have nothing to eat, the final result is that they backfire on their host.
Then it completely disintegrated, exploding into piles of plasma and pus just like hundreds of experiments Luo had conducted.
"No wonder we need to prepare a steel plate, that's why."
Looking at the metal under his feet, Ron smiled slightly: "Priestley Saint, I'm sorry!"
Three hundred million volts of discharge!
Sizzle...! !
The harsh and sharp sound of electricity resounded through the laboratory, and Ron's palm glowed with blue light, pointing straight down and piercing the metal plate.
A terrifying and depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone's heart. Ron reached out his hand expressionlessly and grabbed it. Thunder instantly wrapped around Priestley who was losing weight, and then...
Bang!
With a dull explosion, countless dense white marks suddenly appeared on the four sides of the glass walls that could withstand shells. Priestley didn't even feel the slightest pain, and a cloud of black smoke was scattered directly in the explosion.
Although phagocytosis is scary, cells are just cells after all.
Facing Ron's now extremely destructive electric current, he is not an enemy at all.
"How...how could this happen..."
The five old stars looked miserable, looking at Priestley who was annihilated in the thunder, with a dull expression.
They didn't speak out to stop Ron immediately because they knew that Vegapunk's judgment would not be wrong.
But even so, they are still Tianlong people!
The supreme Celestial Dragon!
At this time, Wulaoxing didn't have much anger in his heart, but only infinite sadness.
Even Vegapunk's experiment failed. Is the Draco group really about to become extinct
"As expected of my cell tissue, it didn't let me down."
Standing on the steel plate and taking in the expressions of everyone around him, Ron thought calmly.
Then, he looked at the stunned staff and ordered: "Why are you still standing there? Clean up the scene and organize the data!"
"Just because an experiment fails, it doesn't mean your method is wrong. Don't let Saint Priestley's sacrifice be in vain, do you understand?!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the people in white coats quickly brightened.
"yes!!"
After reprimanding the staff, Ron was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly noticed Caesar's gloomy expression in the corner of the crowd.
Although Vegapunk was responsible for the entire operation and command of this experiment, that was only because he was the main person in charge. However, this experiment was led by his work of Caesar, and he has an unshirkable responsibility. .
However, Caesar's eyes did not look like he was afraid of possible punishment, but rather making some kind of decision.
Some kind of crazy decision!
"interesting!"
Ron turned his head and pretended not to notice, took a step forward and disappeared.
Returning to the room of the five old stars who were shocked and confused, Ron took a deep breath and solemnly said: "... Having said that, we can't be as optimistic as them."
"Now is not the time for you to continue to grieve!"
"Everyone, I want to have a serious talk with you about the future!"
