Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

In Audis's view, the most critical threshold in his research on increasing agricultural and pastoral production was how to induce mutations in plants and animals within a controllable range.

The high-level Extraordinary individuals of the Earth Mother Church might be able to increase grain yields, even making a single wheat plant grow several ears.

However, such abilities would definitely come at a cost, or rather, have side effects, since Sequence 2 of that pathway was called "Barren Matriarch."

Just looking at the name, it was clear that it had nothing to do with "increased production"; it seemed more likely to have the opposite effect.

In Audis's opinion, this had a lot to do with the inherent influence of Extraordinary power on living things. In the First and Second Epochs, directly devouring Extraordinary characteristics to affect organisms was very similar to a rapid and straightforward form of radioactive contamination.

Whoever could withstand the damage of the contamination could, to some extent, wield those Extraordinary powers, and might even become beings like the eight ancient gods of the Second Epoch.

Whoever couldn't withstand it would obediently lie down and drop gold coins and equipment.

The potion system had found a way to neutralize this radioactive contamination. Most potions used poison to fight poison; Extraordinary characteristics could cause people to lose control, while auxiliary materials could cripple them.

As a result, two negatives made a positive, successfully completing the advancement.

As for the rituals required after Sequence 5, their main function was to stabilize the spirit body.

Because from Sequence 5 onwards, the potions began to erode the spirit body, which was another level of mutation and radiation.

The impact of Extraordinary power on Extraordinary individuals was mutation, and its external impact was similar, except that Extraordinary abilities allowed one's own radiation to extend to the surroundings.

Therefore, Audis's purpose in studying the creatures of the "Land Abandoned by God" was to find a reference for the impact of Extraordinary power on living things.

Due to the chaos and uncertainty of Extraordinary power, it was unlikely to derive a standard unit of measurement for its impact on organisms, like Celsius, meters, or kilograms.

However, the impact of Extraordinary power definitely had a limit. For example, the impact of Sequence 7 could not exceed that level, just as Audis couldn't currently create scrolls that could only be mastered at the Sequence 6 "Scroll Professor" level.

In other words, although such an impact was uncontrollable, it always had a certain threshold.

The first step was to find this threshold, and the second step was to study and utilize it.

Soon, Audis dissected the strange fish. To his surprise, the fish's internal structure was extremely simple, with most of its structure being a cavity, containing some food that Audis couldn't identify.

After a careful search, Audis finally found the strange fish's internal organs, but they were too small. He couldn't even find obvious organs such as the heart or intestines, only a few simple clumps of things, and he couldn't distinguish what organs they were.

This made Audis somewhat puzzled. Had the influence of Extraordinary power caused fundamental changes in this fish? Had its internal organs atrophied severely, losing the characteristics of a fish?

Audis had also done some research on the "Great Cataclysm" at the end of the Third Epoch.

He believed that after the "Ancient Sun God" fell, it had a profound impact on the entire Earth's ecological and natural environment.

Among them, the impact on the "Land Abandoned by God" was the greatest. Sunlight could not reach there, the sky was full of dark clouds, and lightning was everywhere.

This was because the "Ancient Sun God" contained so much Uniqueness that it already represented the underlying order of the world to some extent.

Its fall was equivalent to a reshuffle of the underlying order.

However, the "Ancient Sun God" did not possess the Extraordinary characteristics of "Cultivator" or "Apothecary", so the direct impact on living things at that time was mostly direct death.

The creatures that survived in the "Land Abandoned by God" underwent varying degrees of mutation in the long years that followed.

The fish in front of Audis should have slowly mutated.

However, the degree of mutation completely exceeded imagination.

Audis remembered that in the "Land Abandoned by God", many people had turned into monsters.

If he dissected those monsters, Audis believed that he could also find organs such as the heart and lungs. Even if they became strangely shaped, even if their functions were very different, the general structure should be there.

However, the internal structure of this fish completely exceeded all of Audis's previous expectations.

Then, Audis noticed that this fish had no eyes!

The only thing on its head that resembled a fish was its mouth full of fangs.

Suddenly, Audis had a bold guess. He immediately went to the "Central Simulator" to search for information.

He quickly discovered that the internal organs of the "strange fish" were very similar to the internal structure of some flatworms.

The so-called flatworms include the well-known planarians and pork tapeworms.

Audis carefully compared them, and finally he determined that the "strange fish" in front of him should be a mutated blood fluke!

He looked at the meter-long strange fish, and then looked at the description of the length of blood flukes in the data: only one to three centimeters.

Audis thought to himself: This mutation is too great!

But the fact was right in front of him, this mutation was so great!

Audis re-fixed the dissected "fish skin" and waited for time to do a detailed study.

Then he turned his attention to those real bloodsuckers that could drink sugar water.

Now, if someone said that these guys were transformed from paramecia, Audis would believe it.

He took a "bloodsucker" out of the glass jar and dissected it as usual.

With the previous experience, Audis quickly found the corresponding creatures: mosquito larvae.

Their size had also increased a lot, and they could move on land, but they seemed to have lost the chance to become adults.

Audis persevered and went to compare the plant that had grown tentacles.

It turned out to be a mutated castor bean plant, no wonder it was poisonous.

The tentacles of this "mutated castor bean" were very special. The suction cup part was very similar to the suction cups of some animals. Audis conjured a microscope and made a slice for observation.

He soon discovered a very peculiar phenomenon: the cell tissue of these suction cups was actually a mixture of animal cells and plant cells!

This discovery would definitely be big news if it were before Audis's transmigration.

After all, he had learned about the differences between animal cells and plant cells when he was a teenager. They were actually mixed together like this, serving a castor bean plant!

Audis sighed: In the Extraordinary world, there really is nothing that is not strange!

Finally, Audis made a slice of the black-faced grass leaves to see its cell structure.

Under the microscope, these plant cells were not just withered, they were only left with a cell wall, the cell wall was like a hard shell, empty inside, nothing.

Audis was about to lift his head when the corner of his eye seemed to see that one cell didn't seem to be empty.

So he quickly went to find it, and soon found the cell. He saw a head in the cell wall!

The lines of the face of this head were soft, with a closed, erect single eye, and dark brown hair.

Audis quickly made a judgment that it was the head of a female giant…

No mistake!

A giant's head… in a cell wall?

This sounded like an exaggerated joke.

At this time, the head seemed to feel Audis's gaze, and suddenly opened its closed single eye and looked at Audis.

Then she opened her mouth, and Audis's spirituality immediately sensed danger. He jumped backwards, at least two or three meters away.

But at the moment when his feet touched the ground, he still heard a very vicious roar in his ears.

Hearing this sound, Audis felt dizzy and upset.

Fortunately, with the protection of the "Knowledge Wilderness", Audis's discomfort quickly disappeared.

He looked in the direction of the microscope and sighed again: "In the Extraordinary world, there really is nothing that is not strange!"

Audis estimated that the head of the female giant should be some kind of symbol of "Giant Queen" Onibella.

He had speculated that this "Giant Queen" should have died tragically and uttered the most vicious curse before her death.

Her remains became the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact "Gift of the Earth", and this Sealed Artifact grew black-faced grass in Silver City.

With black-faced grass as food, Silver City has been able to continue to this day, and most of its residents have not undergone major mutations.

At the same time, this also burdened every resident of Silver City with a curse that they must kill their relatives to avoid becoming evil spirits.

Audis quickly destroyed the slice. He realized that he was too weak at the moment and it was not the time to study the black-faced grass.

He dissected what should be dissected, and observed what should be observed with a microscope.

Audis began to write a research report. He noticed that the "mutated blood fluke" and the "mutated castor bean" had greater mutations than the "mutated mosquito larvae".

Especially the "mutated blood fluke". In terms of its stoutness, it had even crossed the classification of animals and basically no longer possessed the characteristics of flatworms.

But it was definitely not a fish, and the cavity in its body left a deep impression on Audis.

Although there was a lack of more observation objects, Audis guessed that there should be something special in the swamp where the "mutated blood fluke" and "mutated castor bean" were located.

Audis considered trading some information about the soil around the swamp with "Little Sun" for further comparison.

Then Audis began to observe the bucket of soil and the bucket of silt under the microscope. The number of microorganisms in the bucket of soil was astonishing, and they looked ugly and seemed very aggressive.

Audiss used the "Knowledge Wilderness" ability to replicate this soil and conjured up seedling cups. First, he covered the bottom with a layer of soil, then scattered a few grains of wheat, and covered them with another layer of soil.

After watering, he used the "Central Simulator" to accelerate the time progression of these seedling cups.

Soon, the wheat in some of the seedling cups began to sprout and quickly grew stalks and ears of wheat that were healthier and sturdier than normal wheat.

However, the wheat in most of the seedling cups did not sprout.

Audiss dug down to take a look and found that the wheat seeds had disappeared, likely devoured by microorganisms.

He concluded that if he couldn't treat those microorganisms as nutrients, he would only be eaten.

Finally, there was the bucket of silt. Audiss first observed it under a microscope and, finding that its composition was similar to the soil, began conducting experiments on both simultaneously.

These experiments included heating, freezing, rinsing with alkaline water, rinsing with acidic water, and so on, mainly to observe if there were any differences between this soil and normal soil.

While waiting for the experimental results, Audiss continued to write his research report.

A dozen minutes later, Audiss suddenly noticed a faint glimmer in the container heating the silt.

He stirred it with a glass rod and discovered that a layer of very tiny crystals had appeared at the bottom of the container!
