Chapter 648: Frozen Demon
In April of Sea Calendar 1499, with the convening of the World Conference, the Heavenly Tribute was continuously transported to Mary Geoise.
The ample military budget gave the Marine Headquarters the confidence to expand significantly, and it was only then that the World Conscription plan truly began to be implemented.
Everything before was just a warm-up.
The March Blood War had created gaps in the Four Seas, and the Marines needed to deal with some of the resulting troubles in advance.
In particular, restoring stability to certain important Islands and Sea Areas.
Recruitment locations would also be established on these Islands.
Most importantly, clearing the Sea Routes connecting the main Areas within the Sea Areas, allowing those who wished to become Marines to safely reach the recruitment locations.
The various Navy Branches also commenced recruitment efforts.
Countless people who had lost their homes and families, carrying hatred in their hearts, wanting to kill all Pirates, or simply seeking survival, embarked on the path to becoming Marines with burning passion.
This World Conscription was the most ambitious and large-scale since the establishment of the Marines.
The scope of the World Conscription covered the entire Great Sea, and even included the New World.
The New World was also the most severely affected disaster area, where Pirates ran rampant.
Although the number of recruits might be smaller, the Marines' recruitment locations were only a few Navy Fortresses in the Former Half of the New World.
However, the probability of discovering talent might be higher.
During this period, the Revolutionary Army was still being suppressed jointly by the World Government and the Marines.
Over a thousand Revolutionary Army members were captured and killed.
This was definitely a heavy blow to the Revolutionary Army.
Invisibly, the existence of the Revolutionary Army also became known to the outside world.
Naturally, the Revolutionary Army's counterattack also arrived, but unfortunately, it failed.
The World Government had anticipated the Revolutionary Army's attempt to plunder the Heavenly Tribute.
The main reason was that the Revolutionary Army didn't have many Strongmen for the time being.
One portion was plundered, but it wasn't long before the World Government took it back.
This naturally involved an astonishing great battle.
Ultimately, the Revolutionary Army suffered further losses in personnel, while the main members successfully evacuated under Dragon's cover.
Having learned from the previous lesson, the World Government also became smarter, specifically installing trackers inside the tightly sealed Treasury.
The Revolutionary Army plundered the Heavenly Tribute, but instead exposed a Temporary Base.
In just a few months, the World Government's pressure made it almost impossible for the Revolutionary Army to breathe.
It came wave after wave, relentless as mountains and seas.
It was from this point onwards that the Revolutionary Army, from being a faction operating semi-openly, was completely driven Underground.
They could only struggle to protect their remaining forces.
Meanwhile, Underground in the Kronos Kingdom.
Inside the strictly guarded laboratory.
Quite a few people were gathered there at this time.
Hades and his wife, Elsa.
Their daughters Shar, Ashe, Esdeath, and Zhuang Seni.
Undoubtedly, they all possessed the bloodline of the Ice Human Race and were the children of Hades and Elsa.
Shar was Hades' eldest daughter, a Logia Type Snow-Snow Devil Fruit User.
She wasn't fond of fighting, but her strength was not weak.
Ashe and Zhuang Seni, who had just graduated from the Royal Military Academy, both joined the Marines.
Led by their biological sister Esdeath, they became undisputed Marine Vice Admirals at the young age of seventeen.
Of course, there were also two younger twins, but they were too young and not present.
What they were focused on was the first boy Elsa had given birth to.
He was also their younger brother.
Inside the cold incubation tank, a tiny infant floated.
No, he was only about six months old.
However, his appearance was completely different from a normal child, not even resembling the Human Race.
His entire body was blue-white, and his head and chest possessed special gem-like structures.
A long tail grew from behind him.
White bone structures were growing on his head, shoulders, waist, and chest, though they hadn't fully formed yet.
His overall posture was curled up like a larva, sleeping within the incubation tank.
"It was a success?"
Hades asked, a hint of expectation in his voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it was a success."
The scientist beside him was incredibly excited.
"We extracted the ancient genes from the Ice Human Race and combined them with the mysterious effect of the Blood of Evolution to bring the Ancient Frozen Demon back into the world!"
To be honest, he had also worried about failure.
After all, the item being experimented on wasn't a normal child, but Hades' own offspring.
Even though they had simulated it countless times beforehand, confirming a high probability of success and having previous successful experiences.
Yet, at this moment, he was still filled with unease.
This was also a relatively risky decision by Hades.
Regarding lineage factor, the Kronos Kingdom was naturally conducting research.
It's important to know that at the MADS Research Institute, the Kronos Kingdom had the greatest gain and collected a large amount of research data regarding the Life Design Blueprint.
And this experiment used Elsa's unborn, even unformed, young child as the subject.
Modifying his body.
More accurately, it was to implant, activate, and revive the Ancient Frozen Demon bloodline that existed within this child's body.
For this purpose, the Perfect Blood of "King of Monsters" Typhon was specifically added.
The Perfect Blood, stimulated by the Frozen Demon genes, further promoted the experiment's progress, strengthening the modification of this child's body.
At the same time, due to the Mutant Blood, this child's body also underwent some mutation.
The unformed bone structure on his head, combined with the gem-like structure on his head, resembled a crown.
His body looked as if it was naturally wearing armor.
The Ice Human Race is a humanoid race.
However, the Frozen Demon is not human.
In a sense, the Ice Human Race is the descendants of the Frozen Demon and humans, and the result of the Frozen Demon bloodline being continuously diluted over generations.
Even so, the Frozen Demon's genes granted the Ice Human Race outstanding talent.
Their innate control over cold air, as well as the combat factors hidden within their bodies, had always been latent within the Ice Human Race.
The ancient era wasn't thousands of years ago, nor tens of thousands of years ago, but hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago on this planet.
Legends about the Frozen Demon had always circulated within the Ice Human Race.
According to Hades' speculation, the Frozen Demon might also have come from the universe.
Of course, it could also be the materialization of a Devil Fruit.
For example, the Dragonoid Race might have originated from a senior who developed a certain Mythical Zoan Dragon-Dragon Fruit to its extreme long ago.
The modification of the body by the Devil Fruit reached a degree where it could be inherited by descendants.
The Dragonoid Race might have been born this way.
This planet is special, possessing magical creations like Devil Fruits.
Although one cannot say it is relatively weak now.
In a sense, however, it is definitely true that the more ancient, the more powerful.
Because the so-called bloodline is purer.
And without exception, these variant races today all have the bloodline of the Human Race within them.
