Marvel: Trading with Worlds

"That's about it. The next step is to inject it into the body. But it's better to check first."

In the space of the pet pocket, Kain extracted the unicorn's genes using experimental equipment and then made a gene injection. 

He had the entire process of Rick's last experiment in his hands, allowing him to repeat it step by step.

Killing a unicorn fills its blood with numerous curses. Many wizards speculate that this is related to the soul of the unicorn. 

The soul and magical power of this creature have cursed attributes. 

Kain, however, did not attack the unicorn, and after testing it with magic, there seemed to be no curse left in the flesh and blood.

After several simulation experiments, Kain injected the unicorn's genetic material into his body.

There was pain, but now Kain could bear it. The genes of unicorns were almost entirely different from those of humans. 

Once they entered Kain's body, they threatened to destroy his body's stability and cause the genetic chain to collapse. 

However, the Extremis virus immediately activated, stimulating the bioelectricity throughout Kain's body. 

It reprogrammed the gene chain, allowing the unicorn's genes to merge and optimize with Kain's own, quickly stabilizing his body.

After a while, the unicorn's genes had fully fused, and Kain, drenched in sweat, reluctantly sat up from the experimental bed, feeling a bit weak.

But the weakness lasted less than ten seconds before the strong recovery ability of the Extremis virus kicked in, and Kain quickly regained his strength.

'Clean it up!'

Kain merely thought this, and instantly felt all the sweat and stains on his body vanish—much faster than a bath.

The fire dragon nearby sensed a stronger pull from its master and moved closer, its massive head wanting to nuzzle Kain. But Kain gently pushed it away.

"It's a completely different feeling now than before. It seems easier to construct ancient runes. There's another kind of emotion carried in the magical power. Could it be the curse ability of the unicorn?"

Kain murmured in contemplation as he wrote in the air with his finger. Ancient runes began to form, alongside other strange symbols that Kain had detected in the Sorting Hat a while ago.

A few days ago, it had been difficult to build these runes, but now Kain found it extremely easy. Moreover, there was a special power in his magic, almost like the 'curse' characteristic in black magic.

If Kain used black magic now, the power would be several times stronger than before. His magic now carried a cursed attribute, derived from the unicorn's ability. 

This was far more potent than the 'emotion' required by dark wizards to wield black magic.

"There's still blood..."

Kain felt the strong resilience and energy surging in his body. Unable to resist, he slit his finger, controlling the Extremis virus to quickly repair the wound. 

A few drops of bright red blood dripped into a petri dish, and Kain clearly saw a glimmer of gold within it.

"It's worth researching, but this should be considered a tonic for ordinary people... Someone's coming?"

Kain noticed a change in the office, but Hermione's key should be the only one that could open his office door.

He placed all the experimental equipment into his space backpack, then used the flying spell to leave the pet pocket's space and appeared in front of Hermione in the office the next second.

"My god, Godfather, you startled me!"

Seeing Kain suddenly appear, Hermione couldn't help but pat her chest to calm her rapidly beating heart. 

Then she opened her eyes wide and looked at Kain carefully. She didn't know whether it was because she was so tired lately, but she suddenly felt that the godfather had changed a lot.

Her appearance hadn't changed, but her temperament now seemed very noble. 

Hermione had never seen a noble prince from the Middle Ages, but now that she saw Kain, she felt that his noble, princely aura must be similar to what she imagined one would have.

Noticing Hermione standing still, Kain couldn't help asking, "Hermione, what do you need from me?"

Hermione snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, "It's Professor Dumbledore. He seems to be looking for you, but since you didn't go to the first game, he asked me to show you to your office."

"If I went to the game, it would affect the fire dragons. They'd get the golden egg with their eyes closed…"

Kain explained casually, then wondered what Dumbledore wanted. Had the centaurs come to complain so soon?

Kain then adjusted the pet bag on his body and said to Hermione, "Let's go."

As he left, Kain also put on the Sorting Hat. He had memorized all the runes in it, and besides the magic related to separating 'emotion' and 'character', the Sorting Hat no longer had much use for him.

In addition to refining alchemical items, Kain was now focusing more on the source of magical power. 

Building runes was so easy for him that he could keep them suspended in the air for a long time. 

If they were placed within his body, the likelihood of them stabilizing into a source of magical power would be even higher.

Kain and Hermione separated midway—she still had classes—so Kain went to the principal's office alone.

Either Hermione had forgotten to mention it, or no one had told her the password to the headmaster's office, but Kain was now stuck at the door.

The stone statue at the door of the office spoke, "Password?"

"There's no password, or rather, Fiendfyre is the password."

A ball of Fiendfire appeared in Kain's hand, and as he moved closer to the stone statue, it quickly cried out, "Okay, okay, I understand, the password is 'honey sugar.' You can go in."

The stone statue quickly moved aside. Kain couldn't help but wonder when a professor from Azkaban had come to Hogwarts—why was he using Fiendfire at the drop of a hat?

Kain walked up the stairs to the principal's office and saw Dumbledore, who was meditating in his seat. 

When Dumbledore noticed Kain's arrival, he smiled and said, "Professor Pent, the Sorting Hat is over there. It's fine, would you like to try these new candies?"

"No, I still prefer normal desserts."

Kain shook his head in refusal. Dumbledore's candies were super sweet, and many of them were not the type most people would consider edible.

After the Sorting Hat was placed down, it continued to clamor for Dumbledore to protect it. 

The crimes it had suffered in recent days were worse than ever, but when Kain pointed his finger, the Sorting Hat immediately fell silent.
