Pala, working under the sa roof with her colleague, was unaware of her progress. She was imrsed in her own research and completely oblivious to her friend's efforts. To be fair, Isley purified the Lazarus Pit of impurities every ti, as requested by Kavita. That was the extent of her involvent.
Perhaps only Bruce Wayne knew of the doctor's success, as he showed a genuine interest in Ra's al Ghul's healing water and was directly involved in analyzing the liquid. But since he couldn't devote his full ti to this due to forced night shifts, the main work fell to the doctor, one way or another.
"Well, what do you say? What are the results?" I asked again.
Everyone was looking closely at Kavita.
"I'll skip the details and just tell you the basics," she began to explain. "We have a universal dicine in our hands, capable of not only healing, but also having a direct effect on the body, enhancing regenerative capabilities and increasing the lifespan of the human body."
"I didn't quite understand what you ant," Alison admitted honestly.
"Lifespan," Pala offered to explain. "It grants additional years…"
"Not only that," Rao said again. "My research shows that the dicine not only heals, but also brings the body to physical perfection. Moreover, it enhances the body's indicators by 25%. Moreover, regeneration increases threefold, and an additional hundred years are added to the lifespan… That is, of course, if all my calculations are correct. So far, the only success that can be considered is Peter-112," the professor smiled sweetly at the surviving rodent. "All my conclusions are based on him."
"But that's just a rat," said Dazzler, whose remark was far from scientific. "The human body is supposedly more massive."
Kavita looked at her as if she had heard the stupidest thing in the world. "I know... I took that into account," the professor answered as calmly as possible.
"So the dicine works," I sumd up. "When can I take it?"
"Hey, slow down! Are you not listening to at all? I said that Peter-112 is the only successful experint. What does that an? It ans 111 of his fellows died before him. That's not counting the other vertebrate species... Do you want to join them?"
"Not really," I swallowed hard, looking at the dismbered bodies.
"That's why there's no need to rush. A little more ti, and I'll finalize the formula. Ah, if the substance weren't so powerful on consciousness, everything would be so much simpler."
"What do you an?"
"As soon as I was able to obtain a concentrated substance from the Lazarus Pit, I hastily refined the formula and conducted an experint on a dog... It was a resounding failure! After the injection, the subject began to go into hysterics, it started going crazy and eventually went insane. If it weren't for Pala's protective vines, I don't even know what would have happened to . After that failure, I began searching diligently for the problem. That's why there's so much brain deposits in the test tubes," she pointed at the floating brains. "After dissecting the brain, I still couldn't identify the pathogen. I couldn't figure out what was causing these uncontrollable bouts of madness. All I could do was continue my research. Each ti, I weakened the formula, wanting to develop a stable cure without the slightest side effects. And finally, having simplified the formula more than tenfold, I succeeded!"
"So this rat only has a simplified version?"
"Yes, and it's also the most stable, without any pronounced signs of aggression or other ntal dysfunction."
"And where is the originally derived serum? You should have saved it," I asked the scientist with impatience in my voice.
"I have it, but why do you need it... What are you planning?" she looked at suspiciously.
"Please, let take a look at it. I need to make sure of sothing." My suspicions grew, but the girl nevertheless complied and brought an ampoule with the original formula. If I'm not mistaken, the side effect Kavita ntioned is a property of the Lazarus Pit.
A bath in healing water is certainly an excellent way to prolong one's life, but sotis one has to pay a terrible price. Many who have had the chance to use the Pit's services eventually went mad and beca bloodthirsty lunatics. Ra's al Ghul retained his sanity only thanks to his inhuman willpower.
It's amazing that after so many years, he never succumbed to the curse or went mad. I thought that after Pala purified the mystic vein of impurities, she also got rid of the side effect. But apparently that's not the case. It seems she only made it worse. The purification greatly increased the power of the Lazarus Pit, but also amplified the side effect.
This ans that the Pit's benefits and harms coexist—they are one and the sa... But then, how did Kavito manage to develop a safe cure? It's a truly incredible achievent. She's a true genius! A true fanatic! But for , it's the original version of the serum that's of greater interest.
After all, according to Rao, she had to simplify it more than tenfold. If even the weakened form increases the body's physical stats by 25%, which is more than ten points in each stat, then how much more will the stats increase with the full-strength cure? Yes, it could be dangerous... For re mortals! But not for soone with the passive skill "Player's Mind."
My consciousness is protected by an impenetrable barrier, and I can simply ignore the side effects. I won't have hysterics, I won't go crazy, and I won't go mad. Hell, the Lazarus Pit was made for !
Dr. Rao handed the serum, and I trusted my intuition again. It, as before, urged to take the enhancing elixir as soon as possible. This ans the serum is safe, at least.
As soon as I ntioned my intention to take the serum, I was t with a ton of indignation from the distraught girls. They scolded , accused of recklessness, and absolutely refused to allow to commit "suicide," which, according to them, was exactly that.
I had to spend over half an hour convincing them that I would definitely be fine. Even though they knew about the ntal protection of my mind, it did nothing to calm their anxious hearts. It's one thing to simply know that I'm protected, another to believe it.
Such is human nature: until they see everything with their own eyes, they will deny everything to the last. In the end, they finally agreed. And so, completely naked, I plunge into a capsule filled with so kind of slimy liquid.
According to Rao, the liquid from the Jacombi plant will allow to better absorb the healing powers of the Yama and prevent all possible risks. I'd never heard of such a plant, but Pala said that in case of ergency, its juice could draw out the serum, and if my body couldn't cope with the load, it would help open the pores for better absorption of the elixir.
So, I'm completely naked, my body floating in a thick liquid, my mind frantically trying to abstract itself from this vile place. Everything would be fine, but damn, how unpleasant it is here! Still, it's worth noting that compared to the pain I had to endure while taking Ivy's serum, this feels like a children's matinee - a very lousy children's matinee.
Then I thought that if this procedure were as painful as the previous one, I would definitely lose the desire to take any more potions for a long ti. Fortunately, the entire process was completely painless. Apparently, all the pain should have erupted in my mind, gradually driving mad and turning into a bloodthirsty monster. But thanks to the "Player's Mind," I felt nothing. Ah, how good...
Everything went so easily that I was even surprised when I heard the notification from the system. The whole procedure ended just like that…
