One month later.
"Put pressure on the mechanical chains!"
"Raise the test subject 5 inches higher!"
"That's it…, that's it…, perfecto!"
"Pry its eyes open let's see its current state".
Clang! Whoosh!
"J.C, the test subject's physical state is critical. The computer readings are indicating an abnormal spike in brain activity, it seems likely to explode".
"Do it!"
"Ok, add more pressure to the mechanical chains, make sure it remains stable, the optical tranquilizers are being administered".
"The test subject's posture is stable".
"Good, prying its eyes open".
Bam!
Under the control of the supercomputer, junior anatomist Jakren controlled the smart mechanical limbs as they collided against the heavy closed lids of the heavy Sea Elephant before injecting sharp spikes into it.
"Avoiding the eyeballs, touching the magic protective membrane now".
Whoosh!
Under Jakren's control, the sharp spikes worked like the limbs of a spider as they balanced themselves on the heavy eyelids before pulling them apart.
Pruuuuuuuu!
As the heavy eyes of the enormous beast opened up, revealing its blood-red eyes, the mighty Elephant seemed to regain a bit of strength as it trumpeted loudly before struggling against the mechanical chains that bound it.
"Stabilize the test subject!"
They didn't need Sebastian's roar before they went to work.
The group of junior anatomists under Jakren's cue worked fast and efficiently as they made use of a series of pulls and pushes with the mechanical chains to rapidly drain the strength of the elephant.
Pruuuu!
Though the struggling elephant still trumpeted angrily, it was clear that its strength was also waning rapidly. Another alarming fact was that as its strength waned, its vital signs also started reducing in activity.
Sebastian responded immediately.
"Inject 5 clown-box of adrenaline on the test subject!"
"Inject another dose of optical tranquilizers!"
"Then get ready, lower the test subject to the working table on my count!"
"3…, 2…, 1. Now!"
Shing! Shing!
As the mechanical chains moved with speed, dropping from the main lab's ceiling, the elephant fell delicately with the well-timed movement.
Directly below it was a giant working table that was formed from a massive merge of over 10 normal working tables.
Through the delicate control of the junior anatomists who were listening to the commands of Sebastian and Jakren, the mighty Elephant that seemed to dwarf every one of them combined finally dropped on the merged working table.
Bam!
As soon as the mighty beast dropped, Sebastian swam out of his position.
"Transfer control of the main mechanical cutting knives to me".
"Inject the beast with heavy sedatives, make sure it stays docile".
"Jakren, I need your support".
"You got it, J.C".
As Sebastian swam towards the massive table where the Elephant was laid on with Jakren following behind him, a pair of giant cutting knives with chains descended from the fleshy ceiling of the anatomy lab.
Due to his diminished size due to taking the miniaturization pill, a lot of things became inconvenient to him. And of course, he couldn't use his unique skill here which reduced his choice to use his telekinesis powers.
After over a month of relentless practice, a new skill of his, telekinesis control was finally mastered and he could use the giant cutting knives skillfully.
Jakren was a crab, with his sharp claws, he didn't need cutting knives to dissect a test subject. Among all the junior anatomists, he and Sebastian already set themselves apart from the others as the best.
Now, they got to dissect this massive test subject together.
Once the giant cutting knives fell under the control of his telekinesis field, Sebastian entered his domain as the knives revolved rapidly, producing whooshing slicing sounds like the controlled swinging of a legendary mystic swordsman.
"It's now or never!"
Ptui!
The knives ruthlessly sliced the abdomen of the massive Elephant open, revealing all its internals but before the blood and internal body organs could pour out, a gravitic module was activated by Sebastian.
Bzzz!
The water space suddenly felt static around the Elephant. It couldn't move, its blood couldn't pour out, it was like it froze in time.
Only Sebastian and Jakren were allowed to move around it.
Ptui! Ptui!
Jakren did not fall behind Sebastian.
He knew that this was a critical moment, he didn't want to be the one to botch all of their efforts after the month-long research as his claws precisely cut the opposite part of the elephant's abdomen open.
Crazy dissection officially started.
Before Sebastian could continue cutting and navigating the body of this massive beast, he briefly paused as all his knowledge on sharks from earth coincided with everything that he already learned about them here.
This 2-knowledge collided and merged, affecting his concentration at first but once Sebastian got used to it, his concentration reached a peak!
He entered his zone!
For the first time in this world, and for the first time in his Oceania anatomy career, he felt that peculiar feeling of absolute concentration and precision that gave him the deadly nickname of the crazy dissector.
Oh boy! He was unleashed!
Sebastian went on an educated rampage through the beast's body.
Slice! Slice!
Under the guidance of the telekinesis control, the giant cutting knives cut rapidly like a hot knife slicing through tofu, taking advantage of their extremely sharp edge to rapidly navigate deeper inside the beast.
Despite the cutting speed, Sebastian maintained horrifying precision.
He avoided cutting any critical bone or organ, only cutting the easily regeneratable flesh as he navigated through the structure of the elephant to where its heart was located.
Sebastian's efficiency, precision, and focus at this moment were so much that Jakren felt his raging will for dissection.
This crab was shocked, but it made the perfect decision immediately. Continuing would only hinder his comrade, he made the wise decision of giving Sebastian space to unleash his passion.
Through this, Sebastian was unhindered as he navigated the massive body of the Elephant with the cutting knives through his telekinesis control skill.
Even though the cutting knives already disappeared from his sight, going deep into the massive Elephant, through his Combined Super Sensing combined skill, he saw inside the Elephant as clear as day.
Whereas all the blood and gore would confuse his comrades, it didn't confuse Sebastian, this was familiar territory to him.
For the first time, he felt truly at home.
After cutting relentlessly deep inside the beast for 50 straight seconds, Sebastian slowed down as he finally arrived at where the heart of the beast was located, and alongside it was the legendary mana core.
Sebastian's telekinesis field bathed in the warmth of the mana core as its magical powers enveloped his telekinesis field.
The mana core's warmth was not too friendly though, it was like it embodied the will of its creator as the furious will of the dying Elephant blasted out with the intent to push Sebastian's will away from the most sacred part of its body.
On feeling this, Sebastian was not annoyed, he grinned.
This proved and verified all his speculations and experiment results for the past month. The mana core really carried organic imprints of its creator, and these formed what seemed like a mini-life in it that had a sub-will of its creator.
"Drop the artificial mana core box beast adaptation!"
Whoosh!
From the top of the main lab, the package that had been hanging since was released as it floated down with speed, straight at the opening inside the elephant.
This mechanical invention looked like a normal box, but the magic power emanating from it said a different thing. The organic flesh that was attached to it, making it look like a spooky cyborg alien also revealed that it was not simple.
This was the mana core carrier that Sebastian created alongside the anatomy genius, Jakren to form another home for a 2nd mana core inside a mutated beast.
They already experimented on a beast once, but the experiment failed with the test subject dying. This was their second trial.
Vroom!
As soon as the box fell within the area of his telekinesis field, Sebastian's will flared as his mental energy took control of the object through telekinesis.
Then, like an expert surfer surfing the dangerous waves of the sea, he navigated inside the Elephant through the opening that he already cut inside it as he quickly got to where the heart and mana core of the elephant was.
Once there, he held the box in place with his telekinesis control skill.
"Release the mana core!"
Whoosh!
At the same suspension where the box dropped from, a frozen cube was cracked open as a living mana core that was still stained with blood was unveiled.
Badum! Badum!
The mana core still beat like a heart as soon as it was unveiled.
Sebastian did the same thing with the mana core as soon as it fell enough to his area of influence which was his telekinesis field.
After taking the mana core inside, he dropped it inside the box which he already opened through a programmed code, into a fixed spot inside it.
Click!
Once he was done, the mechanical box was sealed again.
Immediately, he started retreating his telekinesis field, taking the cutting knives back with him. This time, his retreat was rougher, he cut some vital bones and organs but speed mattered at this moment.
The reason for his flustered retreat was quickly revealed.
The Elephant's body took some time to register the presence of a foreign magic object inside it. And once it did, it reacted violently!
A tug of war suddenly seemed to be going on inside the massive Elephant's body as it convulsed like a mad monkey who just inhaled a hard drug.
The Elephant started bleeding from various orifices in its body but Sebastian was ready for it as he ordered aloud.
"Inject the prepared life stabilizers into the test subject!"
Whoosh!
Dozens of life stabilizers were injected into the massive beast, helping it with regeneration, increasing its tolerance to pain and stress but its effects seemed marginal as the Elephant's convulsion only increased with time.
Ba! Ba! Ba! Ba! Ba!
Every equipment in the lab shook as Sebastian and the other junior anatomist sought shelter away from the beast that seemed about to detonate at any second from now.
Sebastian didn't just take shelter though; he swam towards where the visual coverage of the processing supercomputer was as he watched through the scans exactly what was going on inside the beast.
Inside the Elephant was a battlefield!
Both mana cores were now glowing an ominous red! They both outputted a horrifying amount of energy as they tried to expel the other from the body. The beast's heart showed fractures like it would explode at any moment.
Other major organs and adaptations that the Elephant had seemed eager to join the battle, but they didn't know who to help, both mana cores carried the same biological imprint that they were familiar with.
This brought chaos.
The only redeeming factor in all the chaos was the mechanical box that housed the second mana core. The box released waves after waves that acted as tranquilizers, trying to calm all the chaos.
Despite the box's efforts, Sebastian saw no signs of the chaos stopping.
Sebastian watched optimistically for a minute before his face fell.
"Did I fail again?"
The moment he asked, the red light being emitted by the 2 mana cores spiked and everything went blank in his vision.
Bzzz!
One month later.
