Chapter 40: Half of the Heart of Darkness
In the Virtual World.
Pathless and Night met again, still playing that Galactic Chess while talking about Han.
âOld Black, judging by the time, Han should be doing his last injection now right. What did you give him? Will it wake him up from the enclosed state that his zero-degree brain region is in?â Pathless Origin asked curiously.
Night Walker pushed up his golden framed glasses and responded mysteriously, âI donât know about waking up or not, but I know that if he does wake up, he would be a true monster.â
Pathless Origin was shocked for a second, âMonster? What did you give him? Is it your best Force of Milky Way?â
Night Walker slightly shook his head.
âThen itâs 9 layer starlight?â
Night Walker still shook his head, and smiled, âDo you still remember the Heart of Darkness?â
Pathless Origin curled his lips, âOf course, that heart is one of the reasons why we are stuck in the dark net. Itâs all your fault, you were so possessed and determined to steal that thing. Wait, no, donât tell me you actually used the Heart of Darkness as a base for the medicine you made for Han? That was your treasure!â
Night Walker answer indifferently, âThe most valuable materials are only valuable because of what they can make. Hanâs Void End belongs to the dark and mysterious descent, which is kind of related to the power of darkness, and the Heart of Darkness is among the highest concentrated dark material you can use in medicine, so the two should be able to work together.â
âAll these years, Iâve been focused on investigating the properties and medical reactions of the Heart of Darkness, and I discovered that its true nature is really scary. Normal people canât use it, only espers like Han with dark mysterious descent powers can possibly trigger the effect of the heart.â
âA few hundred pills were swallowed at once by Han yet heâs still alive. Thatâs says enough about how unique Hanâs zero-degree brain region is. It has a powerful self-defence mode, but itâs still not the solution. Thatâs why I chose to fight poison with poison!â
âFight poison with poison?â Pathless asked curiously, âYou mean letting the Heart of Darkness to attack the poison that already resides in Hanâs body?â
Night Walker nodded, âI used half of Heart of Darkness combined with Thousand Golden Yellow and Silver Blue Skyline to make this special medicine and divided into a course of 12 injections. If my calculations arenât wrong, Heart of Darkness will first react with the existing poison in Hanâs body.â
âThe first three injections that enter Hanâs body wonât hurt Han because his lifeline has already been isolated and protected by the zero-degree brain region.â
âAfter three doses, not only will Han not die, the poison inside his body would be cleared empty. At that moment, Han should already build up immunity towards Heart of Darkness, which means that Heart of Darkness is no longer a poison that can kill Han.â
âAt that moment, injecting large of amounts of Heart of Darkness will allow Han to completely adapt to the power of the heart. After the 12 doses completely enters Hanâs body, then his tolerance to Heart of Darkness will also reach the pinnacle. At that moment, the heart isnât just not going to kill Han, but will become a part of Hanâs body.
Pathless Origin swallowed a mouthful of cold air, taking advantage of the defensive measures of Hanâs zero-degree brain region to force Han to adopt the Heart of Darkness therapy, ultimately absorbing the most dangerous and unreasonable dark medicine in Milky Way, Night Walkerâs technique is still as on point as before.
âIf everything you said happened, Han will ultimately clear out all the poison in his body and take control of the Heart of Darkness, then what happens?â Pathless asked in curiosity.
Night Walker answered in a deep voice, âTwo main effects. First, Han will naturally wake up as healthy as ever.â
âSecond, because Hanâs body will gain the power of half of Heart of Darkness, Han will grow an extremely strong tolerance for poison. I canât say he will be totally immune, but it can at least provide up to 90% immunity from poison damage.â
Pathless clapped out of excitement, â90% reduction to poison? That means, if other people can only eat 2 or 3 nuclear energy pills before dying, Han can eat 10 or 20 consecutively and still have no problem? That means he can eat the drugs with less severe side effects like candy!â
âAnd since Han already has Void End, if he has to face a strong opponent, he can still kill them by just taking drugs and pills! An overpowered physical property of almost full immunity to poison, itâs awesome just thinking about it!â
Night Walker smiled, âIt doesnât even end there. Why did Han improve that fast? Itâs because he absorbed Ye Shuihanâs power crystal. Ye Shuihan had the foundation of a 6 star warlord, and with your extreme training methods to add a bit of pressure and force some of that energy from the zero-degree brain region, thatâs why Hanâs level skyrocketed!â
âBut about what will happen later, you know too, it is almost impossible to fully inherit the power from the predecessor. Ye Shuihanâs a 6-star warlord, minus that loss from inheritance, then Han would only be able to reach around 5-star tops.
Night Walker stopped for a second, and continued, âNow if Han can really wake up, his body would naturally gain half of the Heart of Darkness. What does that mean? Itâs the natural antitoxin, which means that unless he takes something more poisonous than the Heart of Darkness, no other drug will hurt him.â
âThat means, Han can take large amounts of support medicine during training, like source energy pills that boosts training efficiency. Other people can only eat one per day, but now Han can eat 5, 10, or 15 and still be fine!â
âThen top that with your unique extreme training, even if Han uses up all of the potential that Ye Shuihan left him itâs still okay, because those drugs will still allow Han to keep on reaching breakthroughs and let his level soar through the sky! You tell me if itâs awesome or not!â
Pathless Origin had never been this excited in a long time, âAWESOME, too awesome! I canât even wait to see the expressions on other peopleâs face when they meet Han! They finally waited till the death of Ye Shuihan and now here comes Han! Not only did he inherit that Ye Shuihanâs power, his potential is even better than him! All the espers will go insane after meeting Han!â
âBut Old Black, this time you really used your most hard-earned capital, the Heart of Darkness is unique in the entire Milky Way and thus itâs priceless. You used half of it at once for Han, wouldnât it make your heart ache?â
Night Walkerâs eyes suddenly dimmed, he let out a long sign, âI must say, being stuck here in the dark net, you arenât the only one getting bored. Although I got a wife and daughter and the management of a company to keep me busy, itâs still incomparable to before.â
His gaze moved to the horizon, Night Walker continued, âWe both can never return to the past, we can only sit here in boredom. But luckily, fate finally showed us its good side, and gave us the chance to meet someone interesting like Han. Helping him is actually helping me.â
âHan has the talent, determination, hardworking character, stubborn personality, he really resembles us when we just entered the Milky Way. Being able to watch Han grow bit by bit, is my biggest spiritual sustenance right now.â
Pathless Origin let out a long sigh too, âThereâs nothing we could do for ourselves at this stage, at last we offended someone that canât be offended. This huge Milky Way, actually doesnât have anywhere else for us to go.â
âLetâs just wait and see, todayâs the day for Hanâs last injection. Hopefully he will get better soon.â
