Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 710: Heaven Swapping Cauldron

My Divine Sense was working overtime as it was analyzing the pattern.

The entire tattoo was made of minuscule almost cell-sized metallic cubes that were positioned in the pattern to look like a circle.

Although it looks like a circle from the outside, the tattoo's material itself goes far deeper into the skin. It had depth to it.

"That's very interesting," I said.

Law decided to quiet down for a second. He understood that no matter how I explained it to him he wouldn't figure out how this tattoo works so he just kept watching.

"I'll be back," I said to Law and headed into one of the chambers of the Ship where I stored something I needed.

I brought back a fist-sized cube with a lens on top of it. This was something I created when I had spare time.

A holographic computer of sorts, though this is far too unconventional to call it a computer.

This was a holographic projector based on the guiding system I made for my tungsten bullet.

I lit up the projector and it displayed a three-dimensional cube in the air. Which will be the basis of my work.

I then began by recreating the same tattoo on the arm, by making cube after cube, placing them exactly how I saw them.

Thanks to my enhanced processing power due to doping on brain-enhancing poisons I was easily able to recreate the schematic on the tattoo. It only took a few hours to rebuild the millions upon millions of cubes making the tattoo.

"Whoa, it looks like a small city," Law said.

Indeed, it does, it looks like a city made of high risers of different levels.

But now that it's holographically made and visible to the naked eye I was able to understand how this works.

Taking in consideration the material that absorbs lightning, this structure looks like a formation that aims to absorb and store lightning inside it. The height of the blocks and 'buildings' allowed it to transform the energy and disperse the unneeded excess.

But to what purpose? The user cannot use this energy… could the Blue Sun be using this symbol to harness Thunder Law? But why is she using a cultivator for that? Couldn't she just come here and do it herself?

Perhaps there is a constraint on why she cannot. Or maybe this is just something she made as a pastime.

Still, I couldn't figure out the reason why she made this. Nor do I think it serves me any good to pry on another's secrets.

"X, take this cube, get the worker puppets to break down the pillar we dug out, and make something like this."

"As you command my Lord," X replied and took the holographic cube to another chamber.

"What are you planning on doing?" Law asked.

"An experiment," I replied.

"Then what are we going to do now? We're kinda wasting our time."

"We're not, I actually had the ship move to the second region, we should be in the second region in a few minutes," I said.

"Oh, I didn't even feel that we moved."

"Space isolation. Otherwise, it would be dumb to have a lab that's affected by vibrations. Let's move back to the main room." I said.

Once we were back in the main room, we found something rather interesting.

The deep gray clouds of the first region were no more, and now the clouds were pitch black. The thunder that was coming down was also purple in color and looked far too destructive.

"Shen, Look," Law said as he pointed his finger forward.

A large pillar that was similar in structure to the one we dug out was there, only this one was slightly different in color.

Instead of the metallic pale gray. This one was purple.

And lightning never stopped striking at it.

While behind us, a pale gray pillar was unbothered by lightning.

"I see, the polarity is different in the second region."

"Look there," Law said.

My eyes tracked his direction and I saw a cultivator being chased by lightning that was as big as a skyscraper.

The man was obliterated in an instant. Nothing but his hand was left on his body.

I stopped the ship right before we entered the second region.

"Why did we stop?" asked Law.

"Because I have a feeling that if we set foot in the second region unprepared, we'll die a dog's death," I said. "But I really want that hand," I said.

"It seems strange that only the hand remained after being struck by lightning," Law said.

"I need that arm to further study it," I said.

"How are we going to do that, from that lightning's power and what you said… I doubt it will be safe to take a step inside the second region," Law said.

"Hmm, then there is only one thing to do," I said.

"What is?"

"To get the hand without ever stepping inside the second zone, I'll go back to the lab," I said.

"How are you going to do that?!" Law asked.

"I'll figure something out," I replied as I hurried toward the lab.

Once I got there, the small orb that kept projecting whatever I did to the audience tried to follow me inside.

"Sorry, this is a bit private, I'll show the results not the method," I said and the orb flew back and away.

Seems that the commentator is respectful of my privacy, after all one shouldn't show all their cards.

Once I got to the lab I pulled out the reward I'd gotten from the Flamboyant Sun.

The small-sized cauldron was what I needed for this operation. But due to the heavy damage it had received, it isn't something that can be used multiple times.

However, that isn't going to stop me from using it.

First things first is to understand how it is made.

The laws and inscription on this thing are very different from what I'm used to. After all, not even inside the Library of the Lord of Lords pagoda did I find any hint about these words or language. But, all language has a way of deducing it.

I just need to create a cipher and keep deducing the words and letters until I find a proper meaning. I did that with the Imperial Language from back home in the Vast Expanse, so there shouldn't be any issue stopping me from doing it here.

I propped up the cauldron on top of the table and began jotting down the letters.
