The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Cough!!

"This is the last of the ingredients," Karsha said in a tired breath. He has spent the last 12 hours concocting pill after pill. From the start his attempts to practice batch pill refining were stressful.

His first attempt failed horribly but he didn't panic, he had already anticipated the results. However, his second attempt yielded some results. Although not to his liking, he still felt he was progressing.

So he spent 3 hours practicing using basic ingredients for making basic pills like Stamina Replenishing Pills and the like. After his 4th attempt, he was able to make three 100% Pure Tier 2 Earth Grade pills. His purity level is something he takes seriously.

The Purity level determines how impurity free a pill is. A 50% purity means the pill will contain 50% impurities. So even if said pill is of higher quality, the side effects will also be high.

That's why in alchemy, the higher the purity, the more people go crazy for it. If Karsha's 100% pure pills were to surface now in the Drono Kingdom, many powerhouses would battle for it. Karsha is just too talented for the craft. The more he concocts, the higher his understanding.

After making sure his understanding of batch pill refining had reached the level he needed, he started with Impurity Removal Pills. In less than three hours, he concocted 3 furnaces of pills getting 10 Tier 3 Earth grade pills and 4 Tier 4 Earth grade pills.

He has already removed all impurities from his body thanks to the phoenix blood, however his friends haven't yet.

Ever since he received the Destiny Key, he instinctively knew he needed the Destiny chooses. From all the strange encounters he had had, the sentence "Remember, you are not alone" keeps repeating itself. Although he doesn't have ways to make the shadow guards raise their strength overnight, he knows one of the major reasons he received the Legecy from the Divine Alchemist was for this.

He wouldn't have believed himself if he said that a few weeks ago. But after receiving the second part of the Nine Calamities Space Ring, he knew there was a connection between them. And with the gardens full of herbs and flowers, he knew what had to be done.

So after concocting the impurity removal pill, he spent another two hours concocting 14 Tier 4 Earth Grade First Meridian Evolution pills and 13 Tier 4 Earth Grade Second Meridian evolution pills.

After getting his first evolution, his strength was raised to the next level. His Mana pool has also increased greatly. Although swordsmen rely more on their stamina, Karsha has skills that require Mana and with a huge pool like that, he can activate any form of skill or technique without caring for his Mana Running out. If he manages to evolve the meridians of his guards, their strength will soar.

Having Overpowered snakes to call anytime there is trouble sounds like a good thing for him.

He also concocted Meridian Expansion Pills and Meridian strengthening Pills. He also concocted a pill that would allow Elder June's mom to gain some resistance against the Venom in her body making it easier for him to use the Master Antidote to suppress it and the Heaven Absorption pill to raise her cultivation base.

All this happened within 11 hours. So the last hour was used to replenish his stamina and mental fatigue. Ayarr and Starr on the other are just flying around on Karsha's hoverboard. After resting for a while, Karsha stood up and sent a mental message to Ayarr that he would be going for a while so they should wait for him.

"Not the Vortex again, I will only use that to trick my enemies" Karsha smiled, and with a thought, a red portal instead of a Swirling dark pool opened. He gently walked through closing behind him. He appeared in front of the huge Mansion on the Red Planet.

"This place is both beautiful and terrifying" Karsha muttered seeing the vast expanse of Red environment. He walked around the huge mansion observing all the arrays keeping it safe from the monsters. After about 2 hours of detailed scrutiny of the arrays, Karsha could tell there were Repulsive array diagrams stacked on each other and a few restriction arrays.

The repulsive are like mosquito repellant, essentially they repel the monster when they get within a certain distance from the Mansion. Their strength is determined by the energy sources used to power them so Karsha knows from Old Man Teye to say the array protecting the building will remain active for 200 years, it could only mean there is a powerful energy source powering it

The Restriction arrays, act as fire that burns any within range. Though not effective like the Repulsive Arrays, they are still one of the most complex drawings he has seen so far.

After walking around some more, he finally entered the Mansion. He entered the room where he spent the last few hours with Old Man Teye. He then retrieved the Arcana Codex and started browsing through it.

He got to know from the system that for Elder June's mother to be able to benefit from her misfortune, she has to at least gain some control over the Poison before taking any of the pills he will be making.

She has to be able to Resist it and the best way to do that is for her to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy. He has already prepared pills for that but since her body is very weak now, he needed a way for her to automatically absorb the energy. The only answer that the system gave him is Rune (Arrays).

(A/N: Just assume Runes are the same as Arrays. This will make the reading more fun. Lol )

So he quickly learned the 666 and 66 runes back on Snake Island and has now come to the Red Planet to practice and master them within the next 20 hours since he has only 22 hours to go.

"This will do" Karsha stopped on a page with a Starlike Rune diagram called Nine Star Absorption Array. It is a circular design that features an intricate combination of geometric shapes and elegant patterns. At its core is a smaller, dazzling star-like shape, surrounded by overlapping triangles and star points that extend outward.

There are nine additional smaller stars at the outer rings of the diagram and connecting to it is another star. According to Karsha's understanding, the nine stars are the nine meridian partways that circulate energy throughout the body. The Star connecting to the big star is where the energy source will be placed, in this context, the Monster cores.

Karsha didn't waste any time and started practicing the 666 and 66 symbols using the Ice Dragon Rune Knife. His comprehension speed has increased greatly compared to the last time. It took him 17 hours to comprehend all 666 and 66 symbols.

He quickly went into action and started practicing the Nine Star Absorption Array diagram. With his third eye now stronger than before, he managed to identify the key rune symbols he needed to draw the diagram. He needed absorption runes, delay runes, channeling runes, and Circulation runes.

He didn't try anything Fancy, he just needed the diagram to work so he followed the instructions in the Arcane codex to the Z. After god knows how long, Karsha sighed and smiled happily. He finally managed to create the diagram after failing 10 times. He quickly went ahead and started practicing more. After 2 hours and 30 minutes, he stopped and walked toward his treasure room.

With the mask on his face, the door opened without any struggle. He walked toward where the monster cores were persevered. They are kept in an array of magical-type objects. He picked 7 more Tier 9 cores and about 50 Tier 8 and 7 cores. He didn't want to exhaust everything now. Uno, his Mystical Avatar can go hunting himself if he wants to level up.

He has already given him over 60,000 monster bodies and even gave him the 100,000,000 High Tier spirit stones instead of just low-tier ones. He doesn't wanna raise a Fodder after all.

For the Demon Fruit, he is saving that one for later. After finishing up by taking some Tier 10 skills for synthesis, he left the Red Planet and headed back to the Sanctuary with Ayarr and Starr.

"These are First Evolution Meridian pills, they can be used to evolve your meridians making you gain more power and even stronger Energy. This will also make you channel more spiritual energy than use usually do, this is most specific to Tifa and Alida. You two rely more on spiritual energy so this is perfect for you.

The process is painful so prepare for the worst before taking them. Once they evolve, take the Expansion Pill, the green one, and after a few days, take the brown one, it will strengthen your meridians more.

You can even absorb the elemental fruits and treasures in your possession once you finish taking the pills, but if it is too painful, then you can wait for a few weeks before taking it" After karsha returned, he called his shadow guards and gave each three of the meridian pills.

He knew they wouldn't disappoint him, after all, with his connection with them, he could always contact them even from the human world. His trip this time to the island this time has been nothing short of great gains.

"Also, be sure to take care when you enter the portal to the hunting world." Karsha named the door leading to the world where the snakes can go and hunt as Hunting Worlf. He will find time and go explore there. "There are powerful monsters there so be sure to remain vigilant when you enter there. But also, use the challenge to temper your strength and auras, there are more battles to be fought"

After finishing up with them, he went to see Lady Illo and the Elders, of course, his personal hairdresser was by his said never letting go. He knew it would be hard to convince the little snake girl to stay behind so he is saving the best for last.
