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. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

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.

"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.
