Chapter 496 – 496. Rest for the Time Being
I’m not feeling well.
I think it’s the first time since the catastrophe that I’ve been so upset.
Yes, in the summer of two years ago, I felt this way when I got sick after eating triangular gimbap stored at room temperature at a convenience store.
Back then, it was a time when I was rolling around like a dog in a cockpit.
“Fuck.”
My past is full of fucking memories.
The only enjoyable memory is the memory of playing games in the corner of the room.
Growing up without parents since childhood, I grew up experiencing all the discrimination of society.
Even after becoming an adult, I was caught up in all sorts of bad things and my life was thrown directly into the abyss of hopeless despair.
To dream of the future, I got a job at a dog’s place where even reality was difficult to endure, and I had to work like a rat among my co-workers who sucked.
“Ha.”
Reminiscing about the past will only make you feel worse.
I sat up on the bed.
When I moved my huge body, which was over 2 meters long, the bed creaked.
“Woke up?”
“Huh. Woke up.”
This is a hospital room.
My last memory was of falling down at the ruins of the Dark King.
He was probably taken to Narak’s hospital. In the end, you couldn’t have a proper conversation with the Dark King. Can not help it.
Because I was dying
“Can you move?”
“Huh. I can move.”
“Thank god.”
Thank God Mei Ling nodded her head. Soon after, she went out of her hospital room, saying she would call for Hellus.
I stayed alone in the hospital room and stared blankly out the window.
An underground space without sky. A light source hanging from the ceiling flashes instead of the sun.
The kidnapped humans and the underground people who were born and raised here are working together. It is lively.
Hell is already decades after the catastrophe. For those who have lived here for more than ten years, disaster is already a thing of the past.
Perhaps, of all the humans here, I am the only one who is experiencing a catastrophe.
“Are you awake?”
The door to the hospital room opened and Hellas in a doctor’s coat entered.
After changing into a doll’s body, he always has a pleasant smile. Could it be because he was compensated for the 60 years he lost because of the mad professor?
He seemed happy just by the fact that he had nestled in a body that hadn’t aged. Moreover, Hwang Soo-min and other beauty assistants were with him, so he was very happy.
“What happened to my body?”
“Uh. Please take a seat. I will tell you everything.”
Following Hellus’ words, I sat down on the chair in the hospital room. It was a soft and comfortable chair, but it was a bit small for me.
The body is too big.
“First of all.. Currently, the owner’s body is suffering from quite serious after-effects.”
“Aftereffect?”
“Yes. The toxin from Shinsal spreads through the body… Inhibiting blood production and preventing recovery.”
“…”
“Moreover, the wound on the side.”
“Ah.”
Only then did I notice a slight pain in my side.
I didn’t feel it because I was so upset and out of my mind.
“There is blood coming out.”
“Yes. Karshinax-sama forcibly blocked it. It is still not fully healed.”
Again, the condition was not good.
You are mortally wounded.
“What should I do now? Is this the end of being sick like this?”
“No, no. It can’t be.”
“Huh?”
“We already have a way in place.”
Hellas laughed and shook her hand.
Moreover, there is already a way to improve this condition.
“A little recuperation will make you feel better.”
“To recuperate?”
“Yes. I am receiving intensive treatment here… I think it would be better to refrain from using magic for the time being.”
“Exactly how long.”
“2 years.”
“What?! 2 years?”
“Ah, two years in hell. About two weeks if you hit it outside?”
“Two weeks is too long.”
“Or there are other ways.”
“Other way?”
“It’s like changing your body.”
The second method proposed by Hellas is to take the soul out and put it in another body.
“I will be able to act immediately.”
“Oh!”
“Instead…”
“Are there any conditions?”
“Yes. You have to give up the new blood.”
“…”
Abandon new blood?
That’s fucking telling me to just throw the 7 achievement rewards on the ground.
“Can I get new blood again?”
“That’s… Sataniel-nim said it would be difficult.”
“Fuck. Then you must take this body to the end.”
2 weeks in reality.
2 years based on hell.
“Let’s get intensive treatment. Fuck.”
Can not help it. How do you throw away new blood? If I throw this away, the level of the demigod will be lowered as well.
“Then, take this first before starting the treatment.”
“That…”
“After more than ten years of research. I have finally completed it. Thanks to Master for bringing the last remaining piece of the puzzle.”
Hellas handed over the medicine in a glass bottle.
The bottle itself was beautiful, but the potion contained in it was a liquid that did not belong to the public.
A translucent liquid that seems to contain divinity.
[Hellus Elixir: A healing medicine created by a legendary alchemist after decades of research. When taken, all wounds, diseases, and curses are cured.]
This crazy inspiration really made it work.
Elixir was created.
It wasn’t even just an elixir, it was the ‘Elixir of Hellus’. Literally, it means this human original work.
The elixir itself already existed, but Hellus probably invented a new kind of recipe that wasn’t the existing elixir formula.
He’s a crazy person He must be a really crazy person.
Had I not been tricked by the clown slaver and recruited Hellus because he had less than a year left on his lifespan… It’s terrifying to imagine.
“Her. It really…”
“Yes. It really is a panacea. Drinking will solve all your physical problems.”
“Her.”
As he said, it was a real panacea. Literally.
A mad potion that just heals everything, no matter what wounds you have on your body, no matter what kind of sickness you have, no matter what kind of curse you have inflicted on it.
“The manufacturing cost is too high and the time it takes to extract the drug is too long, so we can’t just extract it. I think I can make about one bottle a year.”
“1 year?”
“Yes. To put it out of the abyss… I’d say roughly one bottle is made a week.”
“You’re crazy.”
A panacea is produced, one bottle a week.
“And this too.”
Hellas handed over the second potion.
“I didn’t make this myself. It’s something I made with the help of other professors.”
“Really… You guys are crazy.”
The second potion was a red liquid.
A red, shiny liquid with the color of blood.
[Narak’s Nectar: A divine drink created by researchers gathered in the Maw. When taken, it frees you from all kinds of oppression, restraint, and oppression. You can pick up a strand of the flow of causality.]
It’s something I can’t even explain.
A potion whose existence itself is miraculous was placed in front of his eyes.
“To be free from all kinds of oppression, suppression and oppression.”
“Perhaps if the high-ranking Yi tribes on the other side of the universe knew about the existence of this potion. They will launch a massive invasion into the Maw.”
“What does that mean?”
“The power of God is absolute. You know?”
Know. Because I am the person closest to God.
There are only about 7 pairs of pupils of the gods looking at me even now.
“If you take this, their authority. Or command. Or you can get freedom from forced trials.”
“What?”
“It means to block the attack of God once.”
God is an absolute being in this world.
An existence that cannot be dared to be confronted, rejected, or disliked.
That’s what a real God is.
“That… Will stop it?”
“Yes. Nectar, refined for consumption by mortals, is a defense against the gods. Perhaps the god-killing beast entered the ruins of the Dark King while taking something similar.”
“Ah.”
No wonder. It was a little strange that even if the dark king was sealed, he couldn’t respond to the mortals who entered the dwelling and ran amok.
The Beast of God’s Slaughter also took a similar nectar.
“Any side effects?”
“An overdose will destroy you.”
“As expected, there are side effects.”
“Because it’s that powerful.”
“Then what does it mean that you can bring a strand of causality?”
“I think you can interpret it as an escape route.”
“A way to escape?”
“Yes. It’s not the end of just deflecting the god’s attack once. It even guarantees escape from the object of oppression.”
“In short…”
Bringing a single strand of causality meant omitting only the ‘result’ of completely escaping, and directly deriving it.
“A perfect preparation against God.”
“Yes. If you calculate everything from the materials consumed to manufacturing to the time it takes to make it… I don’t think we can make it for a while.”
“I get it.”
I got a trump card.
‘Moreover, for us…’
Mistletoe lancet. So, there is an instrumentalized world tree.
In short, it means that if you drink a bottle of nectar, enter the abode of a god, and plant mistletoe in it, you can kill one of them.
Just like the beast of death did.
“Excellent.”
This is why I prefer technicians.
You always show results like this.
I put an overwhelming amount of time and money into making something wonderful like this.
“Finally..”
“Is there another one?”
“Yes. Originally, in alchemy, these are called the three major elixirs. I finished it all.”
“And.”
The final liquid was a dingy color. It’s like a potion filled with polluted water from a swamp.
[Ogryn’s Soma: A drug created by a wandering doctor from Hell through living experiments. When taken, semi-permanent self-recovery and stabilization of the spiritual body is possible.]
If Elixir was a panacea for the body, Soma seems to be a potion to protect the spiritual body.
“If you take Soma, you can defend yourself when the energy of Godsal destroys your body and tries to touch your soul, as in this case. Also, if the spiritual body is damaged due to an accident, it can recover itself. We are prepared for when we enter the long game.”
“Is this made by an Ogryn?”
“Yes. He had already completed more than half of it by himself. I handed over my materials, and I have completed it like this.”
3 areas were accepted.
From the first day of recuperation, you will be eating a legendary elixir.
‘Rehabilitation life.. Might be good?’
Now that you’re on legal leave, how about some black market shopping?
I thought it would be good to take a little leisurely look at my internal affairs.
There are also skills I want to experiment with.
