Monster Integration (Web Novel)-Chapter 3398 Vegetable?

"I'll be dammed!" I cursed, looking at the woman.

No wonder those bastards had been sneaky. I could even guess who they were, or at least the organization they likely belonged to.

She is the blond woman who fought against the Ishban in Halis. She also had some blame for its destruction.

I pushed those thoughts away and gently took us out of the coffin and places her on a med-bed. It immediately activated and several seconds later, her meta-scan appeared above her.

What I saw couldn't help but shock me and horrify me.

This meta-scan is the most basic one. It is not giving me all the details I want, and it still horrified me; I couldn't help but think, what kind of terror I would find if I looked into her deeply?

I controlled myself and took out a tiny black disc, which seemed to be made of stone.

Buzz!

I placed all twelve of them on different parts of the blond woman's body and activated them.

A minute and a half later, another meta-scan appeared. It directly transmitted into my mind. 

I shook before I sat down on the chair and closed my eyes. A moment later, I appeared in my core, around my clone, who all are looking at a very detailed meta-scan of the blond woman.

"They have done something terrifying to her," I muttered as I looked.

They have filled her body with a thick substance. It is filled in every vein and covered her core thickly.

It is also extremely powerful and on a timer, with a second substance, which will connect to it at a specific time, burning the substance into her veins, and giving her a horrible death.

If I am right, she had around days and a half before she died horrifically.

I could kill that trigger, but that will not stop her death. The substance will kill her within three days nonetheless.

Even now, looking at the signs from her soul. She was feeling immense pain and couldn't even scream it out. 

It kind of reminded me of what happened to me in the wall, but her condition seemed even worse than what I had suffered.

I studied the meta-scan with my clones for more than an hour before we all moved. I went out, while they went for shelves. 

I need to collect the sample of things before I could proceed further. 

I took a deep breath, and a single thin string came out of my hand. It is made wholly of the rule-bending power. If it is anything other than this touched substance, it will kill horrifically. 

It was a good thing I didn't use my strings to scan her and used the tools instead.

It would have triggered the substance.

My string went inside and reached for the substance. It didn't go for the piece directly and instead, did some tests and that was wise.

As I couldn't take the piece directly, without triggering the substance.

A little more than a half hour later, I devised a way to take out the sample from the substance without triggering it.

Buzz!

Runes started to cover a small part of the substance. When it did, I activated the formation, and the string wrapped around it, taking the small part from it.

I watched with bated breaths for its triggering, but nothing happened.

I brought out the substance and took it to my core immediately.

Once there, I started to perform the tests on it and the more I find out about it, the more it horrified me. The substance had a resemblance to brown pool water in the wall.

It came from a similar thing. 

Now, it had covered her vast network of veins and the core. It would trigger if I tried to suck it out of her body.

If I tried to neutralize it inside; it will trigger and kill her horribly. It is a very powerful substance and has some very bad things inside.

Still, I would love to get my hands on it. If I purified it, I would get an amazing resource in my hand.

I pushed those thoughts away and focused on the meta-scan and the results of my tests, along with what my clones were able to find out about it.

Technically, the substance could be drained or neutralized. I would only need a Sky-Sovereign and specific resources.

Some of which are very hard to find.

As for any other way to save her, yes, there is. It is the same way I had saved myself. 

Through breakthrough.

The process is quite simple. I would release something that will neutralize all the band things inside. 

At that exact moment, she will start the breakthrough, taking all these things in her veins and around her core into it.

But the thing is, our conditions are different. My body was unique and able to bear. No other people would have been able to survive through the method I had used.

Though she is not without her advantages. Her biggest advantage is her level.

She is the Initial Earth Sovereign, and the substance inside her is about the same. 

I used about because, it used to be a very high-leveled, likely Prime, but the erosion of time and a few other things had brought it down to its current level.

She also has a very powerful earth-elemental constitution, and this substance is also 92% of the earth-elemental of nature.

Still, despite all that, her chances of surviving are around 10%, and even that seemed to be too high. 

I wish I could be more optimistic, but I could not, seeing the data in front of me.

Now, I have to ask her, if she wants to go through it.

It is a process that will probably kill her. As her chances of surviving are slim.

I opened my eyes and looked at her before strings begin to come out of my hand. It is going to take some effort to connect to her soul.

If she had been a Primary or Sovereign, it would have been a little easy. An Earth Sovereign, and one as powerful as her, is a completely different thing, but I will have to try.

Buzz!

A little over ten minutes passed, and I activated the formation I had woven around her soul.

"Ahhh…"

As I did, the connection formed, and pain the pain descended. It was fast and hard and so much, that it threatened to break my mind.

I had been prepared for it, even so, this vast pain had nearly broken the delicate connection I had to establish with her soul, and now feeling the pain she was feeling.

It has taken me a couple of seconds to stop screaming and gather my thought, to focus on her.

"Hello, can you hear me?" I called and waited, but there was no reply. So, I called her again and waited.

When I received no reply, I did it again and again; I did it over ten times, but no reply came.

'Is she turned vegetable?' I asked myself. 

It is not beyond the realm of possibilities, seeing the pain she is feeling. It is capable of turning a person into a vegetable.
