Chapter 1257 Heart

Chapter 1257 Heart

Lex immediately felt the changes, and felt his physique activate as well, yet instead of being alarmed by it, Lex paid more attention to it now. He wanted to gain complete control over his physique so that it would stop randomly being triggered. It had been fine for now, but it could cause him some huge issues down the line.

Since Lex's brain had evolved when he became immortal, now able to directly peer at the secrets of the universe, understand them and comprehend them, it was much easier for him to pick up on things now. He immediately perceived that there was a lot more to physiques than it seemed. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Unlike bloodlines, which had a definitive origin, physiques could occur randomly and did not need a history in one's family tree for it to occur. That meant their origin was not simple, which became evident to him as he observed his physique in action for the first time as an immortal.

There was something fueling his physique, but whatever it was escaped Lex's vision. Even his left eye couldn't trace the source. That definitely aroused his curiosity, because Lex was under the impression that laws were the underlying cause for everything. They defined all of reality, and so should have been at the root of all occurrences.

Yet Lex could see countless laws working on his body under the influence of his physique, yet they were being directed by something else. The actual laws at work did not attract Lex's attention at all. Those were just the ordinary operations of laws.

Anything and everything that occurred within the universe was as a result of the normal operation of laws. That was not the same as what Immortals did, who could wield laws as they desired, bringing about changes and results outside their normal operations.

The muscles that made up the dragon heart were even more special, not in the least because they had to pump dragon blood which was thick and viscous like flowing lava. Just like every other being, the heart of a dragon contained the strongest a best that their body had to offer, making it nigh indestructible.

It was not as durable as a dragon's scale, but compared to all the other muscles in a dragon's body, its heart was the most resilient.

Instead of mimicking the quality of the heart, Lex's evolution directly replaced his human heart with that of a dragon, while the rest of his body adapted subtly to accommodate such a change.

Lex was reminded of the fact that his older sister, Belle, was said to have the heart of a Valkyrie, which allowed her to use the actual powers and abilities of angels. He wondered what impact the change in his heart might have on him. He would have to wait to find out.

Meanwhile, he continued to observe his other changes. While not as drastic as his heart, his other organs changed as well.

He just hoped his skin wouldn't turn into scales...

Fortunately, that is not the aspect of a dragon that his skin took on. Instead, as the organ responsible for the temperature control of the body, his skin took Lex's fire immunity to a whole new level, while also giving him direct control over the temperature around him. More importantly, Domination fused into his skin like Dragons Might was fused into their very bodies. This was bound to result in an interesting change.
