Chapter 2579 Important Discoveries (1)

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since the experiments on the black liquid and its effects on the dead began.

During this time, Minos, Abby, and the General who accompanied them, conducted various experiments with the liquid, or even just with their guinea pigs who had come in contact with the black liquid.

The results were impressive!

In just three months, they discovered the liquid’s potential in some scenarios Abby had previously planned, the effect of her ability on those who had absorbed the black liquid, the usability of the liquid after extraction, and much more.

They would have to continue observing their subjects to better understand the long-term effects. But after only three months, they were confident enough to talk to the Commander about their preliminary findings.

After weeks spent almost only researching the phenomena associated with the black liquid, Minos and Abby left their cave next to the General to attend a meeting at the Council.

On their way to the Council, Minos and Abby were accompanied by Gloria, Segiel and Ruth. The latter two had returned to the guild in recent weeks.

Minos had met them in his faction’s cave, but since he had been concentrating on the experiments, he hadn’t been able to pay much attention to them.

“Are you finished? Are you done with the experiments?” Ruth asked as she walked next to Minos.

“No, but from now on, we’ll be able to do more than just stay in the cave and test theories,” Minos replied with a smile. “We will gradually return to our duties while continuing to observe them. The last experiment we have in mind will be conducted after we fully understand the current results.”

The last experiment Minos was referring to was the one where Abby planned to use the black liquid on a corpse that hadn’t been revived by her powers. This was potentially the most difficult of their planned experiments, so they preferred to prepare for it better.

“Were the results encouraging?” Segiel asked curiously.

She was a General, but her role had nothing to do with the mission the Commander had given Minos and Abby. She knew little about what they were doing.

“Yes, mostly, I’d say.” Abby confirmed to the beautiful woman with blue hair lighter than her own. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

“We’ll meet up later. Today we’ll celebrate the end of this intense period of experimentation.” Minos looked at the two women, eager to spend time with them. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

He, Abby and the General escorting them crossed the boundary between the inner area and the Council and made their way to a hall where some Elders and the Commander were.

Upon meeting half a dozen Supremes, the three became more solemn, greeting everyone in the area with due respect, waiting for the questions these people would surely ask.

Minos looked at the elders, imagining that one of them could become his enemy in a few decades or centuries, when he returned from the next stage of the True Celestial’s heritage.

Of course, Minos didn’t plan to fail and die in the True Celestial’s heritage!

While he kept a few details about the appearance and level of his potential enemy, the guild’s Commander introduced the trio and their goal in their experiments to the Elders.

The Commander already knew some of the preliminary results of Minos and Abby’s experiments, but he didn’t know everything, and the Elders needed to be fully briefed on the subject.

When he had finished talking about his initial goals in giving Minos and Abby some of the precious black liquid, as well as introducing the two of them and their abilities, the Commander gave them the floor.

“Officers Minos and Abby, please present your findings and answer our questions.”

Minos and Abby looked at each other as he stepped forward and opened his mouth. “Well, our experiments went as follows…”

He summarized how they had divided the black liquid the Commander had given them, as well as the experimental scenarios they had tested. Besides the three initial scenarios suggested by Abby, they had also done the same experiments with the liquid that had already been absorbed by some corpses.

“What is the effect of this liquid extracted from corpses on ones who have never been in contact with it?” Segiel’s master asked, interested in the potential of an item that could be used continuously, regardless of the number of times it was used.

The result could be something that could be used for thousands and thousands of years without limitation, or something that could be used only a few times.

Abby replied with a smile. “Regarding that, we tested the fluid extracted from the bodies in two scenarios. One, on individuals who had never absorbed the black fluid. Two, on individuals who had absorbed it.

In scenario two, nothing happened. They didn’t get stronger or weaker, they just got more bloodthirsty, the same result we had in them before we extracted the black liquid from them.

In scenario one, we had the same result we’d already had in corpses who had absorbed the black liquid from the sample that wasn’t taken from the corpses. In other words, even after we use the black liquid on a corpse and extract it from it, it can stimulate improvements in other corpses.”

“Oh?”

“That’s great!”

“If so, we have a resource with infinite possibilities in our hands!”

When the Elders stopped talking, Abby said the negative part of it all. “But it’s not all roses. It causes hostile thoughts in our guinea pigs. If we remove it from their bodies, we will erase this negative consequence. But after we removed all the black liquid from their bodies, the guinea pigs gradually lost their improved qualities.”

“What you’re saying is that all the improvements they gained from the black liquid will be lost after all the black liquid is removed from their bodies. Right?” The Commander asked as the Elders lost their good expressions.

Minos explained, “Not exactly. It doesn’t happen immediately. But they will gradually lose these characteristics until they return to what they were before. However, we have some good news. If we remove only 50% of the black liquid, these beings have absorbed, we can keep all of their enhancements without loss. At least that’s what we’ve observed so far. We still need more observation time for more complete data.”

The Elders murmured again, not as happy as before, but still satisfied. It was good enough for them!

Such a limitation would force them to deal with a certain number of people using the liquid at the same time, but with the potential to remove it from corpses and eventually pass it on to new ones, there was still plenty of potential for them to use such a resource to their advantage.
