Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 114: Regeneration

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A few days later, Heath Laboratory, Forest Manor.

In the dark room, the suet candles were sizzling, and the pungent smell of burning fat filled the air.

The flickering flames lit up the interior of the room.

A few long wooden tables were put together, and they were filled with strange materials, as well as organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, limbs, and so on.

Heath, who was wrapped in a gray cloak, was standing in front of the wooden table. On the table was a corpse that had been stripped of its clothes. He was holding a sharp knife, and he was scratching the body of the cadaver. He looked like a medical student who was doing dissecting experiments.

Clang! Clang!

The iron cage in the lower right corner kept making noises. It was the few broken hands inside. They were unwilling to be imprisoned, and they kept shaking the iron cage with all their might while holding onto the railing.

It looked like an organ that had been activated, but it was not. These broken hands had really ‘come back to life’.

This was made by Heath using the cell structure extracted from the Dark Wizard’s body.

When Heath dissected the Dark Wizard, he found that the Dark Wizard’s body had a cell structure with an unusually strong active factor. This thing was like a cancer cell, as if it would not die.

It was also the [Regenerative Cell] recorded in the previously extracted knowledge.

Fire roasting, electric shock, ice sealing... Heath had tried many methods, but he was unable to completely destroy these cells. After being suppressed for a while, they would quickly recover and quickly spread out.

The Dark Wizard’s abnormal recovery ability came from this.

In a sense, these cells were even trying to repair the Dark Wizard’s body.

Of course, even if Heath allowed these injuries to heal, he would not know how many years it would take. Moreover, the Dark Wizard’s soul had long been completely dispersed. Even if it was repaired, it would only be a body.

However, it could not be denied that these regenerative cells were powerful.

If he had these cells, as long as it was not a fatal injury, he would be able to recover in a very short time. In a sense, it was as if he had an immortal body.

Therefore, after extracting these cells, Heath began to try to see how to use them.

However, things did not go smoothly at this stage.

He first found a corpse and implanted the cells into it intact, but there would be a rejection reaction. The body of an ordinary human could not withstand such a strong active factor. As soon as the cells were implanted, the body began to swell and distort and soon exploded.

If it was not for Heath quickly sealing it with a barrier spell, the laboratory would have changed by now.

Heath then brought over the corpse of a Knight, but it was still the same problem. Although the Knight lasted longer, it ended with an explosion.

Heath had calculated that it would take at least 100 vitality to fully withstand the cells, and only a Grand Knight could do that.

How did the Dark Wizard do it?

The answer was: body modification.

Although this active factor would cause rejection in the human body, it was very compatible with some biological organs.

For example, when Heath implanted the regenerative cells into the body of the Short-Tailed Lizard, although it also exploded, the lizard’s heart was preserved in the explosion, and it had integrated with the active factor completely, possessing an extremely strong regenerative ability.

The Dark Wizard used this method to gradually replace the body with biological organs with better compatibility, thus mastering this regenerative ability.

‘In order to have a strong regenerative ability, turning myself into a monster... Is it worth it?’

Heath did not know if it was worth it, but he still cared about his own body. Using this method to obtain a regenerative ability... Not to mention where to get the materials, just this mentality alone was unacceptable...

“Then is there a way to achieve the best of both worlds?”

To talk about a perfect fusion method, Heath had not yet found it, but he had some ideas on how to use this power.

After his careful research, he found that after the active factor was injected into the body, it would quickly repair the cells in the body. After the cells were completely repaired, its energy had nowhere to be released, so it caused an explosion.

In other words, as long as the body was in a state of injury and the regenerative energy was kept in a state of release, the body could have this power without exploding.

Of course, this was the general idea, but it was obviously not easy to maintain a balance between the injury on the body and the ability of the cells to repair. Moreover, the risk was very high. If the injury was serious and could not be saved, the person would die, and if the injury was light, the person would explode again.

Therefore, Heath improved the idea on the basis of this —

Restricting this power.

The reason for the explosion was that after the regenerative cells repaired the body, the energy could not be released. Then, couldn’t he think of a way to quickly extract these regenerative cells after the body was repaired?

To extract them just like that, was this cell a dog?

It might sound incredible to extract the cells that had spread throughout the body in an instant, but there was no lack of such methods in the Wizard World.

And Heath had a very suitable plan in his hands: [Gods’ Seal].

The Gods’ Seal had the function of centralized energy management. Using the Gods’ Seal, Heath could mark every primitive regenerative cell, and after using it, he would concentrate and seal the regenerative cells.

When the primitive cells were sealed, the remaining fission factors would quickly lose their energy and wither to death, so there was no need to worry about the body exploding.

To put it simply, the original process was to implant the regenerative cells, and the regenerative cells would divide and spread throughout the body and quickly repair the body. The remaining energy would have nowhere to go and cause the body to explode.

After using the Gods’ Seal, the process was to implant the regenerative cells, the cells would repair the body, and the regenerative cells would be sealed. The fission factors would lose their energy supply and wither to death.

The problem was solved perfectly.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”

Heath was a person with strong mobility. After he had established his train of thought, he began to carry out concrete actions.

He opened the cage and took out a white mouse. Then, he took out runic pens, beast blood, and other items and began to draw the runes and magic arrays of the Gods’ Seal on the white mouse.

After using it for two years, he was now very familiar with the Gods’ Seal. He had also done a lot of research during this time.

Now, apart from spells, he could also use magic arrays and even potions to achieve it.

Soon, the white mouse’s body was covered with dense runes, and a complete Gods’ Seal had been formed.

Then, Heath took out the original liquid of regenerating cells that he had prepared in advance and injected all the original cells into the white mouse through a syringe.

As soon as the cells were injected, the muscles of the mouse’s body began to tremble and distort irregularly. However, at the same time, the runes on its body began to light up, and an invisible force began to absorb the regenerating cells.

However, the speed of the seal was not as fast as the rate of cell proliferation. After twisting for a while, the mouse let out a painful scream.

“Squeak!”

Then, its body expanded and exploded with a ‘bang’. Blood and pieces of flesh splattered everywhere in the barrier that Heath had set up beforehand.

“Reduce the number of regenerated cells and try to increase the strength of the Gods’ Seal again...”

Heath was not discouraged. He immediately took out a second white mouse and started the experiment. This time, the white mouse was safe and sound, but the regenerated cells did not work. Too few of the original number of cells could not be divided at all and died.

Then there was a third, a fourth, a fifth...

Heath took out one white mouse after another from the cage, and then failed again and again.

There were many reasons for the failure. There were too many cells that could not be sealed, the sealing power was too strong, the cells could not be used, the sealing spell could not locate every cell, the cell proliferation was not good, and so on.

This was the case for Wizards’ experiments. There were very few cases where they could succeed in one go.

Even if they had determined the direction and knew that the idea was correct, there were still a lot of numbers that needed to be fumbled and searched for in practice.

These could only be accumulated through repeated experiments. No matter how brilliant a Wizard was, even if he was a stigmata Wizard, even if he was a heavenly king, he could only follow this procedure. There was no shortcut.

Patience was a necessary professional quality for every outstanding Wizard.

Many young Wizards clearly had extremely high talent, but they were always unable to achieve results in spells. A large part of it was because they lacked patience. After failing a few times, they lost interest.

Fortunately, Heath, who had lived two lifetimes, had already honed his mental fortitude in this aspect. Compared to the difficulties in his previous life’s work... The difficulties and failures in front of him were child’s play.

Failure after failure, the sudden death of mice one after another, followed by the sudden death of cages and cages of mice.

Heath felt that if this was in the game, he might be able to get the titles of ‘rat killer’ and ‘rat exterminator’. This was much more domineering than ‘Dawn Sword God’...

The failure continued, and the success was slowly approaching...

Half a month later...

“It’s finally done!” Heath let out a sigh of relief and rubbed his temples. After half a month of continuous hard work and the dedication of countless mice, the amount of work was really shocking.

However, the results were also very gratifying.

Heath lowered his head and looked at the back of his hand. At this moment, there was a strange pattern on the back of his hand. It looked like a special tattoo.

Different from the invisible Gods’ Seal that sealed one’s strength, these kinds of sealed cells would leave an overt seal.

So, after thinking, Heath sealed the regenerative cells on his arm. Firstly, it would not affect the appearance of his arm to the greatest extent. Secondly, if there was a problem, he could quickly cut off his arm to protect his body to the greatest extent.

As for the tattoo problem... He would think of a way to solve it later. Heath himself did not like to leave any marks on his skin.

Picking up the dagger, Heath opened up an inch-long wound in his palm. His skin and flesh flew up and down. It was very frightening.

If he was on Blue Star, it would take him a few months to recover from such an injury. Even if he was cured, it would still leave a permanent scar.

Even if he used the healing technique, it would take him a few minutes to recover.

However, at this moment, Heath only had a thought. He unsealed the seal and released a portion of the regenerative cells. In just a few breaths, his arm had recovered to its original state. Not even a single scar was left.

Heath raised his palm and flipped it over and over in front of his eyes. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

“Ha, with such a powerful regenerative ability, as long as it isn’t a fatal blow, I can recover. It’s equivalent to having an immortal body!”

After that, Heath named this spell: Regeneration.

...

The day after he finished the Regeneration spell, Heath set off to the city, preparing to buy some supplies to head to the Magic Bug Forest.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived here, he happened to run into a major event.

The First Prince of the Kingdom of Navi, the original legal first-in-line heir to the throne, had returned.

With troops....
