Chapter 36: RC cells 2

"RC cells are very aggressive in changing the body." Lucian noted in his mental notebook.

There is... or at least there will be a theory that the ghouls arose due to a dragon-like event.

Assuming this theory is correct, it can be deduced that the change in taste occurred in order to stimulate predation and obtain a greater number of rc cells.

The marked increase in the aggressiveness of the individuals' behavior when they get hungry can also be seen as an indicator of the influence of the rc cells.

In addition, the confrontations they cause end up generating injuries and their regeneration promotes the distribution of rc cells.

It can be assumed that this is the instinct of these cells - to multiply and spread.

Lucian then continued analyzing the object in his hands, a kakuhou, which had recently been removed from the body of a ghoul.

"Considering that there's 'no such thing' as the supernatural in this world, an organ that expands on this scale and still possesses so much strength is really fascinating."

Basically an origami of cells, which is capable of folding to shrink and vice versa.

'Considering their biological nature, I should be able to use my vitality to generate a large number, at least matching my blood power...'

Lucian thought, feeling his BP of 1.004.

'I think in this world I'll be able to increase my BP to 3000.'

Even though most ghouls aren't that strong, there is something that acts as the pinnacle of this world.

Something that is far beyond what others are capable of, possessing strength far beyond and regeneration capable of surpassing even that of a demon.

Something that is capable of spreading for miles and being present in every district at the same time, while also being able to generate life.

This being is the DRAGON.

Although his unconsciousness during the work made him unable to really exercise his power.

And even in this state, he was still able to cause major problems for Japan.

Putting these thoughts aside, Lucian opened his mouth and placed the kakuhou, which was still oozing blood, inside it.

 Not bothering to chew on that hard, unpalatable bag of cells, he quickly swallowed it and began to assimilate it into his body.

Then he simply lay there, the moonlight hitting his body and the light breeze blowing his hair.

Feeling the cells that, driven by a gigantic vitality, were multiplying and spreading throughout his body at a frightening speed and after reaching a certain level, they rushed towards the back of his waist, joining together and forming a new organ.

One that existed precisely to store the new cells his body had generated, also being the same organ he had eaten minutes ago.

Compared to any changes he had been through before, this was the quickest, simplest and easiest.

Not least because this time his DNA hadn't been altered and even if the rc cells did end up modifying the DNA, it would be done gradually and "naturally".

Not the abrupt and forced way in which the transformation into a demon takes place.

"... The only change that can be noticed at the moment is the hardness of the skin, just what is expected." Lucian attested after trying to pierce his palm.

If he had pushed harder he could have pierced it, but previously his skin would have been cut much more easily.

"I believe that a large number of cells are still needed to activate the kagune, but in a few hours I should be able to obtain what is necessary.

After all, new cells were being created every second and this process could continue steadily.

"I'll start by destroying the Aogiri tree, among the organizations that would end up being an obstacle it's the weakest, but at the same time it will be the best source of nutrients;

Next would be the CCG, large and problematic, but after assimilating the Aogiri tree, it would become considerably easier to destroy it, even if the Washuu family are the ones who dominate it;

Then V, as the most complex and hidden, would undoubtedly be the most difficult, but at this point I'll probably already be at DRAGON level...

With the large organizations that would be a major obstacle destroyed, it will be easy to dominate this world."

I think it's already been said, but the world of Tokyo Ghoul is very suitable to be used as a base: there are no abnormal beings who seem to be born with the singular aim of killing demons; there is modern technology, which saves Lucian from making a big effort; and finally, there are rc cells, which is undoubtedly a great supplement for demons.

After better defining his objective and making an outline of his plan, Lucian stood up, his determination reaffirmed as he looked out over bustling Tokyo.

"Relax, I'll bring 'peace' to all of you," said Lucian, before laughing sinisterly.

Sensing an otaku moment approaching, Lucian couldn't help but let out a crazy laugh: "It's going to be quite a massacre!"

"Cough- how did I choke!?! Cough- I'm a fucking demon!"

After Lucian's episode of madness was over, he pulled himself together and fixed his suit, putting aside all his previous embarrassment.

'I know this isn't the first time this has happened, but it's never been so over the top before...'

Putting this fleeting thought aside, he quickly moved on, jumping from building to building.

Increase his strength.

Gather subordinates.

Destroy the enemies.

A very simple and easy to understand list of tasks, the worst that could happen in execution is death, so everything was pretty relaxed.

After all, Lucian had felt death before.

But at the moment, the world of Tokyo Ghoul could hardly cause his actual death.

Simply because of the lack of any person or toxin powerful enough for such a thing.

'I think the only thing that could bring me closer to death is a nuclear explosion.'

But could they make a nuclear explosion? No.

It's difficult to control that kind of explosion and it's simply impossible for them to sacrifice everyone in Tokyo to kill Lucian.

No matter how much power a politician may have, he is nothing if there is no 'people'.

"But the scientists of this world are very good... I can't wait for them to create an anti-Lucian poison." A smile appeared on Lucian's face as he imagined this.

Although it may seem strange, it is one of his wishes.

Without ever greater challenges, it's difficult for him to evolve, so he's going to control his enemies so that they can do the job.
