Chapter 608 - Studying The Dark Reaction Upclose.
"If I considered the dark reaction to be made out of quintillion atomic lifeforms, then I can use my poison to kill them off at an atomic level." Felix contemplated with crossed arms, "I don't know what inducent could work against them but first I need to find out if my theory is right."
Felix quickly started another concoction. When the dark reaction appeared, he paused the concoction and used his Quantum Vision to zoom at the pitch-black substance.
This ti, he kept zooming over and over, not caring that his entire vision was as dark as a moonless night.
This kept going for a short while until Felix started to waver in his theory.
He understood that he was already zood so far within, he was about to reach the Quantum Realm.
As expected, his ntal energy rapid exhaustion was starting to affect him in a negative way.
Yet, Felix didn't care about it since he was in the UVR and simply kept on going, wanting to see the end of this horrifying darkness.
The mont he had that thought, the static darkness before him finally showed another color within it.
It ca as three tiny red dots. Before Felix could feel thrilled by the discovery, three more red dots erged in front of him than three more!
They kept popping around him in the tens, hundreds, thousands, millions until his eyesight was completely covered by them!
This truly creeped him out, forcing him to zoom out back to safety!
'Huuh?'
Soon, he exclaid in shock after realizing that the red light was originated from another red dot that was near two others!
When he kept zooming out, he found out that he was surrounded yet again by millions of those red dots!
This bizarre and creepy situation kept on repeating until he finally saw the usual darkness around him.
However, he still exited from a red dot that was accompanied by two mores.
This ti, Felix saw that those three dots were actually the eyes of an invisible entity since they literally blinked in front of him! Then, out of nowhere, similar red dots erged and they began blinking slowly.
'Was I actually within one eye of a lifeform??!' Felix was too spooked to remain a single second in front of that eerie thing!
So, he swiftly zood out until he was back in reality.
Imdiately after, he massaged his tired eyes, feeling like he had just experienced one of the worst and creepiest acid trips ever.
The scariest part was the fact that he didn't see a single atom or particles.
It was like those lifeforms didn't belong to this universe and followed its set of laws and rules!
'It's not ti to think about those matters.'
When he readjusted his emotions, Felix resud the concoction and watched how the dark substance consud the entire mixture in less than a couple of seconds.
He watched the process silently, but a chill couldn't help but course on his spine after imagining quintillion of those eerie monsters running over the mixture.
He understood that their size should be noticeable if soone used a good microscope.
So, he wondered why this was the first ti he saw them even though he read multiple books concerning the dark reaction?
"That's because most of the witches who knew the truth about the dark reaction were all affected negatively by it." Lady Sphinx answered calmly.
Felix closed his mouth shut and listened closely, knowing that Lady Sphinx was feeding him a freebie.
"Utmost concentration is a must-have during the creation of the protective do in order to save the biggest portion of the mixture. However, for witches who knew about what hid behind the dark substance, their concentration would get affected negatively since they kept seeing an army of those eerie lifeforms, trying to corner them." Lady Sphinx sighed disappointedly.
'For real?' Felix's eyelids twitched at the sound of that, feeling like Lady Sphinx was pulling his leg.
However, hearing her disappointed sigh made him realize that she was extrely embarrassed by her story!
Why wouldn't she be? It was the sa as telling him that the witches were too disgusted or creeped out by the sight of those bug-like lifeforms!
Unlike girls who scream at the sight of a cockroach, those witches rely get their concentration slightly affected by their imagination.
This wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't a must to keep it together during that critical phase!
Naturally, there were exceptions to this case since Lady Sphinx ntioned most witches not all of them.
"Isn't it problematic to hide such a piece of information from the younger generation?" Felix inquired a bit speechless by this situation.
"In the eyes of the Sage Witches, this piece of information was doing more harm than good." Lady Sphinx shrugged her shoulder carelessly, "I also don't bother myself with it, since it is impossible for witches to affect those lifeforms in any shape or form."
"Nothing at all?" Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Currently, the only one capable of affecting those lifeforms is ." Lady Sphinx's eyes shone for a second and continued, "I have my own special thod of doing so. A thod that could never be taught or copied by those witches."
Upon hearing so, Felix started to believe that even Sage witches had yet to touch the ankle of Lady Sphinx when it cos to potion-making.
The fact that they were hopeless against a major problem in potion-making had sealed their fate to be always considered as B at best.
"You are right. Witches were the most compatible to inheriting my potion-making system. However, they were not the best option." Lady Sphinx wholly agreed with his take on the matter.
Indeed, witches had spiritual eyes that helped them see beyond the microscopic world and affect it with their ntal energy, unlike other races.
But, that was rely the condition to begin treading on this path.
"On the other hand, I have t the basic conditions and also had unique tools to help unlike them." Felix said with a serious tone, feeling a sense of responsibility dawning on him.
Lady Sphinx was clearly disappointed by the witches' progress and limited talent in potion-making.
He felt like he would be disappointing her as well if he didn't utilize his talents to the maximum.
So, he dropped the current matter and began contemplating ways to take advantage of the newly gotten information.
"Since Lady Sphinx was capable of dealing with those lifeforms, it only ant that it was possible for to do the sa. I don't know her thod and I am not interested in copying it."
Felix suddenly clapped his hands, and tens of colored misty balls erged before him. They were arranged neatly from the faintest color to the darkest color.
Those were all the inducents that he was capable of using currently.
"Let's aim to create an inducent that will coat the mixture and kill those lifeforms the instant they set foot on it."
Felix cracked his fingers and started dragging one inducent after the other on the table.
Then, he mixed them while murmuring, "I don't know what those things are made off so it would be extrely difficult to pull off the perfect inducent."
Felix knew that it was going to be a ti-consuming experint filled with hundreds of failures.
After all, he needed to find exactly what could kill those lifeforms while at the sa ti creating an inducent that wouldn't affect the mixture in any way!
That's because potions needed to follow a recipe down to the last letter. Anything extra would result in failure before even the dark reaction had its turn.
"First test, Killer Red Inducent, made out of three inducents: Acid, -12 potency/ Venom, -8 potency/ Paralyze, x2 potency/."
Felix disclosed composedly while holding into a faint pistachio-colored misty ball. It was so faint, the pistachio was barely noticeable.
This was due to the potency being lowered extrely out of the killer inducents.
Felix knew that this combination was going to fail if ever used in a real concoction since he didn't rge anything to avoid affecting the mixture.
"Let's see how those little brats will react to it." Felix engulfed the mixture with the mist gently and then requested, "Queen, unpause it and make the concoction stable no matter what."
'As you wish.'
Soon, Felix saw that the dark reaction had invaded the outlines of the mixture and touched his Killer Red Inducent.
Before Felix's hopes could have risen, they were crushed by the sight of the dark reaction not slowing for even a tiny bit.
In a couple of seconds, the mixture was gone, leaving behind only bits of mist.
Felix didn't even comnt on this failure. He simply rewinded the experint and watched the replay on an atomic level.
Imdiately, he found out that the dark substance marched through everything. Even his inducent had gotten consud with the mixture!
'Shit, don't tell that those little f*cks can eat even poison?' This was the worst outco that Felix desired!
If even his deadliest inducents were getting chopped off, what's going to kill them?!
