Capítulo 98: Chapter 98

A thorough review of the work made by the Stones and the ancient beings left Kyon disappointed. He got the impression that all their alchemists who had ever created something were hopeless.

It goes without saying that basic concepts are essential in any area of science. Kyon noticed that the alchemists kept violating fundamental knowledge, conceptions, and rules. If they had replaced a single "installation" ingredient, it would have significantly improved the properties of the pill. But it required a solid understanding of basic principles and, as well as double-checking the procedure hundreds of times.

Kyon discovered that alchemists repeatedly disregarded basic principles. The entire Stone heritage was imperfect. He had no doubt the creators-alchemists were talented, but they were far from ideal. They couldn't "see" the medicine as if there was a thick veil before their eyes. They made too many mistakes...

Was Kyon the only one to see everything through?

The ancient heritage was also insufficient and full of flaws. The creation of their unique bodies was based on complex alchemy concepts that required at least four elements. As a result, the bodies had impressive properties (A-rank). However, a single base change of the medicine could have a major effect on its characteristics and functions.

Ancient alchemists were fixated on effective but complex theories and doctrines. As a result, they missing some important details.

To get the idea of alchemy (as a branch of creating unique body pills), Kyon imagined a hundred empty slots. He could put a magic rune (an ingredient) in each of them.

Some runes increased properties, others worked in pairs to add effects. A complete set of runes created something special, unique. In other words, millions of ingredient combinations interacted with each other according to specific rules.

An average unique body in the Stone family had 50 slots of connecting ingredients and 45 slots of pseudo-useful ones that supposedly strengthened and supported the nucleus. Only five slots influenced each other and did something useful. It was the heart of the creation. This rotten, flawed method was observed in almost all the unique bodies.

There were a couple of exceptions where the nucleus contained 10-15 slots that increased its properties. The rest scum was there to ensure the 15 important slots interacted correctly with each other, i.e never collapsed, got connected and provided a greater effect.

{This low-quality construction is held together with spit and bubble gum. The creators are worthless! How dared they assign a B rank to this rotten body. It's a shame... It's a C rank max!} - With this attitude, Kyon went on examining the Stones' unique bodies.

The ancient unique bodies had a more sophisticated nucleus. They contained up to 25 slots (of the most important stuff). The greater part of the other slots held all the creation together, enhanced the properties, and ensured conflict-free interaction. However, the ancient unique bodies weren't devoid of slots that only performed connecting functions.

The ardent perfectionist by nature, Kyon saw thousands of ways to improve the creation. The properties of the body depended on the size of the nucleus. However, it was next to impossible to keep a big nucleus stable and develop a solid foundation at the same time. If the universal design had at least one wrong slot, the whole body was useless. This task was extremely difficult... But not for Kyon.

With a demonic smile, Kyon started to create the unique body for his beloved self.

The Archangel body required the following elements: pure energy + wind + heat + light + ether.

The Archdevil body required the following elements: pure energy + earth + water + cold + darkness.

Only a heavenly genius could create these bodies, the master of five elements as a perfect match to the elements of the pill.

Kyon had a look at the visual information in his mind on the ingredients and their descriptions. The Stone treasury lacked a lot of components. There were names Kyon had never heard of. Fortunately, he knew their properties, so it was no trouble to find the analogs.

The ingredients for the two bodies were opposite to each other like darkness and light. They seemed to be completely incompatible. But it was no big deal for the principle of combining the incompatible, i.e., for the Cycle of Creation.

Kyon decided to merge these two bodies that comprised in total all the nine elements.

24 hours passed.

Kyon filled nine containers with substrates of different color and aggregation state and started working with them as if they were a single whole. Each of the boxes comprised a universe that functioned according to its own laws. Beside them, there was a container with energy that had a considerable amount of money and keys inside.

Meanwhile, the process in all the containers was going to end at the same.

Kyon's eyes flashed dangerously. He released a spatial attribute into each container and teleported them to the central one.

*boom*

A black and white flash lit up the entire library, destroying completely the alchemist kit.

{Failure again?!} - Kyon's face darkened. Did he miss anything? As ill luck would have it, he had run out of some rare ingredients. If he had failed this time, it would drag on for too long until he could make another attempt. He squinted and saw a dense little ball shrouded in haze. It was slightly glowing from the inside.

Kyon picked it up, gasping. «It worked!» - His voice was full of joy and reverence. He was excited to see his brainchild, the crown of his creation!

Kyon had managed to create a unique body pill that combined two incompatible opposites. He named it Seraphim. Inside a translucent sphere, black and white united in a fancy pattern. His excessive demands were satisfied at last. He was about to gain tremendous power! The nucleus consisted of one hundred slots (there couldn't possibly be any more). The pill was the heart of his creation! The secret of this alchemical miracle lies in the closed chain of the ingredients of each element united by the Cycle of Creation. The closed chain creates a kind of containment shell.

Kyon inhaled the smell of his creation and felt goosebumps rising all over his body... It was a thrilling exultant moment to realize that all the nine worlds were embedded inside him in complete harmony with each other.

After a short reflection, Kyon decided to take the pill later. He was too tired. Besides, he planned to prepare three more unique body pills: one for Juno, and two more just for fun. What if they came in handy one day? There is no such thing as too much knowledge or experience, after all.

Another 24 hours passed.

Kyon was sweaty and exhausted. However, there were four unique body pills in his hands. They cost him dearly. In fact, he had depleted the most valuable stuff in the treasury. All the alchemic kits had been destroyed, most of the spheres and keys had been used up, the rare ingredients seemed to vanish into thin air.

Seraphim's unique body should improve his physical characteristics and raise the quality of his elements (darkness, light, and space), as well as grant him some special abilities. It combined the features of Archangel and Archdevil bodies. The body required positive and negative human qualities, which quite close to reality... Kyon's key of light and darkness had to be of high purity. It should work.

The Divine Flower of Development got a new name, "The Divine Lotus of Development." The sphere was wrapped in numerous colorful petals like a beautiful lotus. Its wonderful aroma was a bit similar to Juno's fragrance... Kyon had involved all the nine elements when creating this pill. Its nucleus comprised all the possible 100 slots. It was the heart of the creation. As a result, the owner of the body would develop faster and also acquire powerful, unique features. By the way, the girl would be so enchanting that everyone would fall at her feet. A charming wonder would appear in the world like a delicate flower from the beautiful bud. Given Juno's stunning looks, Kyon could hardly imagine how magnificent she would become. Too bad it would be only on the outside...

Unique body requirements expectedly reduced. Its owner had to be a virgin of 11-13 years old.

If Juno reached lord phase (5) and if she kept developing her unique body, the flower of innocence would open up. It could be plucked... When Kyon took Juno's virginity, all her strength and abilities would go to him. That's how he planned to take revenge on the little devil. She totally deserved it.

Kyon significantly improved Leviathan's unique body and renamed it Dragon God. It was hard to tell what kind of creature it would turn its owner but there most certainly will be scales, claws, and wings. He could always change the name, anyway.

As Kyon expected, the age restrictions dropped from 200 to 100 years. He couldn't possibly miss this body. It was too interesting. Its features let his imagination run wild. Unfortunately, it was out of the question to develop it for himself.

The pill itself was covered with black scales and looked ancient.

Titan, the fourth body, got a new name of Kronos. The future owner would acquire a phenomenal resistance to the elements and tremendous physical strength. The pill glowed red and looked like cooled magma, cracked all over. It emitted a tart, unpleasant smell. Kyon couldn't grow this body, either. The requirement to be a sane and simple-minded person wasn't about him.

In the end, he had four precious unique body pills:

Seraphim was a translucent sphere with a black and white patterned entity inside.

Divine Lotus of Development was beautifully wrapped in countless colorful petals.

Dragon God was a little ball with ancient shiny glossy black scales.

And finally, there was Kronos, a cracked ball of magma.

Kyon spent almost all the money and the keys from the treasury in a week. There were only 50.000 left. He stored the balance in his ring. The Stone heritage had nothing left apart from some cheap herbs.

Kyon left the library and took a long-awaited hot bath, then he got into bed and laid his head on the soft pillow. His striving for perfection was at peace. Very soon, he would develop a magnificent body, something that didn't have equal in the whole world. Moreover, he was the master of all the elements with absolutely pure keys. Kyon still needed to work on the movement technique. He lacked the advanced (2) and the superior (3) grade of elements. He also had to develop some powerful military techniques. It bothered him a bit.

The party took place in a week, and Kyon knew very well how to spend all of his energy in the remaining time.
