10 Chapter 10: Is It Still Unethical If They Are Demons?
*RING-RING*
"AAA, I hate waking up, I will sleep for just another 5 minutes." I then turned over and destroyed my alarm clock.
"Much better, now just 10 more minutes." I said to myself and returned to sleep.
30 minutes later
*LICK-LICK-LICK*
Suddenly, I felt something aggressively licking my face. When I looked to see what it was, I saw Atropos happily licking my face.
"I am up, I am up, you can stop girl" I then started rubbing her head and saw her smile at me while closing her eyes.
"You are such a good girl, do you want your treat?" I kissed her head and asked her, the treat was a dog biscuit made from the essence of 10 high-quality souls.
'Just one of these biscuits that I fed her should have made her reach the limit of low-ranked demons, but she ate three of them and still nothing. Probably because she is a demon\God high breed.' I thought to myself as I made her the biscuit and threw it in the air, then I saw Atropos jump 10 meters and eat it in midair.
"Well, now that I am awake let's resume my experiments."

I walked to my dissection room inside the prison, as I looked around and saw that slowly my cells started to fill up.
I have most of the common demon species like the elemental demons, now I need to start looking for the rare demons like Yochlols and Dread demons. But the truly special ones are my targets of the ultra-rare collection, the descendants of the seven deadly sin demon kings and abnormal demons like the children of taboo.
I will obviously start collecting the ultra-rare ones when I am a demon lord, I don't want to be disintegrated by a demon king. "But I still can't wait HAHAHA"
My laughter scared the imprisoned demons, because they knew by now that this was a sign that some of them would not be alive for long.
"You their droid, bring me a fire demon to the dissection room." I often experimented on fire demons because there are so many of them in this area, that it would be very wasteful not to use them.
I then enter the dissection room and read my experiment journal, today I will try one of my ideas about merging magic circuits.
"NO PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!! I BEG OF YOU PLEASE!!!" Screamed the fire demon as the droid dragged him to the room and strapped him onto the table.
"I see that you are very energetic, that's good don't lose your spirit" I then inserted my symbiote tentacles into all his limbs and started to build magic circuits all over his body.
The fire demon screamed like a pig that's been slaughtered, but I didn't pay him any mind as I observed his body changes through the symbiote. Like all the other demons, after all the different magic circuits of conflicting elements were built in his body all at once, his body couldn't take it and started to reject the foreign magic circuits.
"Now it's going to take about 10 minutes until he will die, luckily for him I already found the solution to this problem." I then injected him with the stabilizing agent, the water from the pool of eternal life. I injected him with 10ml into the heart just enough to keep him alive and let his body adjust to the new magic circuits.
While he was unconscious I engraved a slave crest on his heart, one of my other volunteers taught me how to do it in exchange for his freedom, and after learning the technique I freed him from his life.

I then release him from the table and remove his collar. As I removed the collar the fire demon opened his eyes and tried to slash me with his claw, only to be electrified.
"There is no escaping your fate, now be quiet and do as I say." The fire demon still looked at me with hate, but his body did what I asked.
"Good, now test your new powers on the body over there." I ordered him and pointed to the dead body of the fire demon on the wall.
I then observed as he used his new powers and made sure that all of them were working properly. 'Very good, that's the sixth time in a row that the magic circuits are working without any defects. Time for the final stage the merging of the circuits'
"Good you are doing very well now just one final test, and I will give you your freedom." I lied to the demon and strapped him to the table again.
I then connected his circuits and formed six web-like nets of magic circuits in his body, I watched as the circuits worked together and strengthened each other. According to my calculation, the final result will be six God-like abilities let's see if it worked.
"You are doing very good, now all I want you to do is concentrate and try to turn this piece of charcoal into a diamond. You can do it, I gave you the ability." The demon felt his body and was in awe, as he felt his new powers. He looked at the charcoal and after a few minutes, it did turn into a diamond.
"I knew that you could do it, now try to turn it back to charcoal and repeat the process a couple of times." The demon then was smiling as he did what I asked, and this time he managed to do it faster.
I was overjoyed as I watched him and monitored his magic circuits until I felt it, his circuits started to lose the connections that I made between them. The demon looked at me with confusion as he started losing his powers, and not just his new ones all of his magic circuits started to lose the strings that connected them and fell apart.
"It happened again, even with splitting the magic circuits into six circuits instead of one powerful magic ability, the strain on the circuits was too great and made them disintegrate." I sighed and killed the useless demon.
"I am not sure what to do splitting the circuits again will be pointless after all, I can just create does kind of weak abilities with the system. I need to find a way to make the circuits bond stronger." I then hanged the new dead body where the old one was.
"Maybe I should go out and clear my head" I then decided to go for a flight and see if I encounter anything interesting.
"Why not I need a new fire demon anyway"

I flowed around my territory and watch all the active volcanoes, that made all the rivers of magma in the area. I then descended and sat on the opening of the volcano half submerging myself in magma, it felt like being in a jacuzzi to me.
"Ahh, I really need to enjoy life more. It's just been a few months since I came to the middle abyss, and I have worked myself to the bone." I said to myself as I stretch my arms and wings.
I then opened the system and looked at the thing that was bothering me the most these days, what should I create with my last superior-quality soul fragment from Ra. I narrowed my choices to two options, I can create Power Girl or strengthen myself.
After giving it a little more thought I concluded that, I am in the abyss it's always night in here, Kryptonians are powerless in this environment. So, I will make a potion to strengthen myself.
[Sun God's Blessing- The one who drinks this potion will gain the attributes of the sun god Ra. Without any negative side effects. Soul consumption 1 superior-quality soul fragment, 2,000 low-quality souls]
I looked at the potion that contained the essence of Ra, it was a small vial with a golden liquid moving inside of it. The moment I opened the cork and smelled the potion, I felt disgusted by the golden liquid.
"If I didn't create this myself, I would have never even considered drinking this potion." I then drank the potion and felt the hot burning golden liquid going down my stomach, my body rejected the essence as it spread from my magic heart to the rest of my body. my body glowed white, and I understood why my body rejected the potion so strongly, I was not only getting the solar attribute.
Holy energy exploded from my body and destroyed the volcano that I was in. When the two new magic circuits formed inside my body, they started to merge with each other and my dark attribute. the white holy light started to change into dark blood red like a dark and sinister sunset.

When this dark red energy returned to his body, he noticed the changes immediately. his claws became sharper, and he felt like he could see every single change that happened within his eyesight. One of his wings turned from a scale wing into a blood-red feather wing. As Apophis was inspecting his body and feeling his new powers, a red dragon charged him from the crater that was once a volcano.
"Thank you for volunteering, my new sparring partner" I smiled as I summoned my halberd and channeled my new energy into it, I then slashed at the dragon's open mouth. I watched as the dark-red energy wave cut the dragon like a hot knife through butter, the dragon's scale and his natural resistance not affecting the red energy as it split the dragon in half.
'I just expected the energy to leave a deep cut on his body, not split him in half' I was amazed as I looked at the dying red dragon and noticed that his body was not regenerating the wound.

"HAHAHA with this new power, no demon or angel is safe from me." I couldn't wait to fight some angels and test my new powers on them, not to mention all the new things that I can learn by experimenting on angels.
I put the dragon body in the system, and flow to my prison with renewed vigor and new ideas to test on my prisoners.

"AAAAAAAHHHHH PPPPLLEEAASSEE SSSTTOOPP" Screamed the last surviving demon soul that Apophis was torturing with his twilight energy.
After conducting another seven experiments, trying to merge the magic circuits into a magic net and failing. Apophis was at a loss, it was obviously possible but once he created the OP skills that he wanted the strain on the circuits cause them to break down.
After experiencing myself how a mutated magic circuit of opposing attributes was created, I can do the process more smoothly without the waters of the pool of eternal life. But the magic net still breaks down after a couple of uses.
"I feel like striker waiting for my wolverine, but my problem is not with the subject. I just need to find a way to maintain the final result." I threw the demon soul to my mouth and continued to think about The Wolverine origin movie.
"Ha, I bet that most middle-rank demons can survive the liquid adamantium process. I am not sure about the poisoning but it's a simple enough problem to solve. A metal skeleton to replace the old one… a metal magic net to replace the old one."
