I’m Not an Evil God! Novel - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Magic Potion!

Just as James was silently tending to the various sacrifices in the cellar…

A cracking sound could be heard from the entrance above him.

This was the sound of the cellar door opening.

James knew what was going on without looking back.

It was Elise, who had finished dealing with the household matters and had come down to help.

This was the tacit understanding they had built over the past few days.

James smiled with relief as he watched Elise begin to process the various sacrifices with practiced ease.

Over the past few days, the girl had already overcome her fear of these extraordinary items and their ominous powers.

James felt that it was very impressive that the young girl could overcome her fear.

After all, even though he wasn’t the Evil God, he could not stop those cultists from believing so.

As long as they treated him as an evil god, they would never stop worshipping him.

So far, it seemed as if Elise would spend a long time living with him.

Therefore, it was something that she would have to face sooner or later.

If she could overcome her fear, she would be able to help him.

This would allow James to relax much more.

James was glad when he felt his abruptly reduced workload.

Fortunately, he had decided to keep this girl around.

Otherwise, where else would he find such a trusted and capable helper!

“Ah!”

At this moment, he suddenly heard Elise shout in panic.

James turned around in surprise.

Then, he saw Elise looking at a book in horror like a frightened deer.

It made people feel pity for her.

James figured out what had happened when he saw that the book had an ominous power.

As the standard of his Qil language was still too poor, Elise was in charge of all these books with ominous power.

Meanwhile, this ominous book was a new sacrificial offering.

Thus, Elise had not seen it yet.

James had noticed something when it first appeared.

It was that the ominous power from this book was very powerful.

After all, he felt dizzy when he flipped through it.

One should know that the current James was no longer the James of the past.

Now, through special mental training and learning of the Qil language, James’s mental strength was far greater than that of ordinary people.

Even then, he was affected by the ominous power from this book and felt a little dizzy.

One could imagine how terrifying the ominous power in this book was.

This was probably the reason why Elise felt afraid.

However, this was a book that was tainted with such immense ominous power.

Thus, the contents of the book must be extraordinary as well.

If he could use the adventurer ranks to classify these books…

In that case, the “Heartbreaking Black Magic” from before could be considered a Platinum-rank book.

Meanwhile, the ominous aura from this book was even more powerful.

However, James had a feeling that it had not surpassed the Platinum rank.

Otherwise, he might have fainted when he saw the book.

The fact that he hadn’t passed out yet meant that the book hadn’t broken through to the Diamond rank.

Seeing that Elise wasn’t acting weird, he smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Is this another book that you think is scary?”

Elise turned around with a pitiful expression on her small face.

It made people want to protect her.

She said to James, “Mr. James, this book is so scary ~”

“Hahaha, it’s alright. Elise, you’re a brave and strong lady. A mere book wouldn’t scare you, right?”

Elise blushed a little at James’s compliment, then nodded vigorously with her shiny chin.

“Yes, Mr. James, I won’t be afraid anymore!”

Seeing that her courage had invigorated Elise…

James nodded with some satisfaction.

“Alright, Elise, what kind of book is this? I think you already know, right?”

Elise nodded at the question.

“This is a book about magic potions. It’s called ‘Potion Convergence’!”

“It records thousands of potions in various fields. The complete formulae of these potions are recorded in this book!”

“Other than the formulae, there’s also various information about the potions!”

“It includes the amount needed for various ingredients, the effects of the potion, and what to pay attention to when making it.”

“There is the Chaos Potion, the Petrification Magic Potion, the Heart Piercing Magic Potion, and Heavenly Spiritual Water…”

As Elise flipped through the book, she read out the names of the potions recorded on it.

James gradually became excited as he heard the names of these potions.

Potions were a rather special item in this world.

Just like the weapon he had on hand, potions could be said to be another kind of weapon.

However, compared to the single function of a weapon, the things that potions could accomplish were clearly more diverse.

For example, the Chaos Potion was a divine item.

If humans drank this potion, there was a certain chance that they could directly obtain the ability of any chaos creature.

For example, the bloodthirsty nature of the Giant Chaos Wolf could increase the battle intent of all void creatures by 30% and increase all other attributes by 10%.

How ridiculous was this?

In other words, if two Silver-rank people were to fight…

If both parties’ strengths were equal, and one’s overall strength was increased by 10%, it would mean that their chances of victory had increased by 30%!

This was the terror that an overall increase in attributes could bring about.

Of course, this was not the scariest part of this skill.

This skill was also a group skill.

In other words, it could allow 100, or even 1,000 people to receive this attribute bonus.

Take the Sound of the Sea from the East Pall Sea Maiden, a chaos creature, for example.

This skill could make anyone who could hear Sea Maiden’s voice descend into a beautiful illusion. Someone had tested it before, and they stayed in the illusion for three whole days!

Three days!

What kind of concept was this!?

If the Sea Maiden was his enemy, a period of three days was enough to kill him 10,000 times over!

Moreover, this skill ignored levels.

In other words, even a newly born East Pall Sea Maiden would still be able to trap a King-rank expert in an illusion.

However, when one reached King rank, they would only stay in the illusion for less than 0.1 seconds.

But for top powerhouses of that level, 0.1 seconds was enough to determine life and death.

There were many other examples of this…

Most chaos creatures were peak beings among monsters.

Even if they did not have great strength, they would definitely have some special skills.

Therefore, 10,000 years ago, humans had always been suppressed by the chaos creatures.

This was until a genius who invented the Chaos Potion appeared.

From then on, humans were able to obtain abilities unique to chaos creatures.

Ever since then, humans have stood up in this world.

In fact, they had even become overlords now!
