Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 355 Thor's Resurrection Plan

Watching Hayden sink completely into the solution, Thor withdrew his hand and shook off the liquid with a blank expression.

The corrosive solution had turned his arm bright red, but when he shook his hand off and rolled up his sleeves again, the skin on his arm had completely recovered.

"Brother Thor, he's already asleep."

A silver butterfly suddenly flew up from beneath the water's surface, unaffected by the corrosive solution.

"Okay." Thor nodded, took out a piece of paper, recorded the time and Hayden's condition, and then, following the method of the 20th-floor circular laboratory, pasted the recording paper on the side of the sarcophagus.

He then turned and walked toward the lab table, with butterflies fluttering behind him.

This silver butterfly has grown a whole size since it was six months ago. Not only that, but its ability to create dreams has also become much stronger.

Because she was bound by the diary, Nightmare Butterfly Penny could only use a small portion of her abilities. However, after Thor gave her a little bit of the Hidden Crystal that Kongsa had specially left behind, Penny grew a lot bigger, and the patterns on her body became more complex.

Cryptocrystalline material can accelerate the growth of juvenile Nightmare Butterflies. That tiny amount of cryptocrystalline material saved Penny about three years of natural growth time.

No wonder the entire Butterfly went completely crazy when Penny saw the cryptocrystalline substance.

Thor used cryptocrystalline material on Penny to test its material properties.

Thor naturally took the remaining cryptocrystalline material for his own research.

This kind of thing is difficult to preserve; it must be placed within sentient flesh and blood. But Thor didn't want to end up like Monroe, putting it in his eye. In the end, he chose to bury the cryptocrystalline substance under the skin of his wrist, close to the bones and veins.

This way, with each heartbeat, he could feel a stinging sensation from there, constantly reminding him of the existence of the cryptocrystalline substance.

In addition, Thor's second-modified skin is also highly sensitive to cryptocrystalline substances, a special existence that lies between consciousness and matter.

"How long do your dreams last?" Saul asked Penny as he sat down at the long table.

"It is merely the soul of a first-level apprentice... It can continue until he dies, and the dream can continue until the spirit also completely perishes."

Penny said dismissively.

However, remembering the identity of the person before it, it said with a slightly ingratiating tone, "But I thought Brother Thor would record his consciousness in the diary. After all, Brother Thor is so powerful!"

This guy still wants a piece of cryptocrystalline material, and he'll stop at nothing to get it.

After Thor ordered it not to ask for anything, it began to flatter, fawn, and play the victim.

Unfortunately, Thor wasn't buying it at all.

"Hayden is not suited to be in a diary."

Thor currently only has one black page left. Until his strength increases to the point where he can possess six black pages, he won't easily give up this spot, just in case.

Moreover, he had other ways to preserve Hayden's consciousness, so why bother putting him in the diary?

After studying soul infusion for more than half a year, Thor was not without results.

He is now using the samples of soul infusion as a standard for improvement, and in conjunction with the almost complete horde of corpses in the warehouse, he has developed many kinds of containers suitable for storing spirits, and has reduced the intensity of the rejection reaction or delayed the time when the container will exhibit a rejection reaction.

One of the most successful solutions has been able to postpone the rejection reaction of the container by up to six months.

Although six months is nothing compared to the two or three years that can last for soul infusion, soul infusion forcibly locks the spirit into the body through a golden magic circle and reduces the confusion caused by rejection reactions by severing emotional perception.

In other words, Mr. Rum did not solve the problem of rejection at all.

He forcibly combined two incompatible souls and bodies by using two ways to avoid the problem.

It's already quite impressive that such a body can maintain this condition for two or three years.

In contrast, Saul's approach is more sustainable. Using his approach, the soul does not need to endure pain that it cannot perceive.

Therefore, the loss and mutation probability of the spirit are greatly reduced.

Saul's next goal is to significantly prolong the time it takes for the rejection reaction to occur. And in the process of researching how to prolong the rejection reaction, he hopes to find a way to completely solve the rejection problem.

If he can truly find the best solution, not only Mrs. Yura, but also other conscious, well-preserved, and uncontaminated spirits can be resurrected in batches through this method!

Of course, this optimal solution is currently just a concept, and whether it can be realized, and how long it will take, is unknown.

However, Saul's plan to resurrect Lady Yora was not to find this optimal solution.

It sounds like a gifted skill of the goddess of life, something that only appears in bard stories.

He just wanted to delay the onset of the rejection reaction by ten years!

Saul believes that if he can prolong the rejection reaction to more than 10 years, he can effectively "revive" Mrs. Yora.

After reviewing the experimental records provided by Gorsa's mentor, Thor discovered a problem.

The reason why Lady Yura quickly developed abnormalities after her soul was separated was that the vessel she chose for herself could not protect her soul like the original body could, and instead, the rejection reaction exacerbated the contamination.

The body is the original sanctuary of the soul. But this body must be original.

Lady Yora probably only discovered this serious problem when her soul was separated and she remained in the vessel for a long time.

Previously, she had only experienced brief out-of-body experiences while staying in a container that had not yet rusted, thus mistakenly believing that she could switch bodies at will and thereby gain independence of her soul.

However, she did not expect that staying in a body that did not belong to her for a long time would exacerbate the soul pollution due to the rejection reaction, and that leaving the carrier to transfer would cause secondary pollution.

The soul of a legitimate wizard is insufficient to resist this level of corruption.

Therefore, even with Gorsa constantly cleansing her spirit and removing pollution, Lady Yora inevitably fell into the abyss of alienation.

It is said that after several failed attempts, the tower master sealed Lady Yora's soul, forbidding her from conducting any more experiments.

Gorza himself went from light to darkness, personally researching resurrection—a subject only a third-tier wizard could undertake.

Third-tier wizards research resurrection, while fourth-tier wizards are already capable of limited resurrection.

Resurrection was never a topic that first- or second-tier wizards should study.

But both Lady Yura and Lord Gorsata were proud and unwilling to stop at their current level of strength.

But in the end, both of them paid a considerable price for it.

Therefore, Thor never intended to actually resurrect anyone from the beginning.

His diary could not possibly be shared with others.

Therefore, he chose a solution that addressed the root cause but not the symptoms.

His plan was that if the rejection reaction could be prolonged to more than 10 years, the soul in the body would temporarily be free from contamination from the body. And when the 10-year period was up, the contamination suffered by the soul during its second transfer to the new body could gradually recover over the next 10 years.

This cycle repeats continuously, achieving a closed loop.

A disguised resurrection.

Thor did not tell Gorza about this experimental idea for the time being because he had not yet conducted the final verification.

The final verification can only be carried out after he returns from Elf Valley.

After finishing organizing today's experimental records, Thor once again took out the Alpha necklace that Claire had given him.

"Although I don't think Claire is an enemy, this necklace could still be used by someone, just like Nick's corpse."

"I'd rather research whether I can come up with an antidote first. Even if I target the wrong person, at most I'll just get a pair of eye rolls from Keli."

The detailed outline isn't enough; Chapter Two will be tonight, or maybe not at all...
