Supreme Lord: I can extract everything! C.989 Studies

The Divine Academy was bigger than a single massive main hall. Countless halls were spread across Keiros, filling the planet with the training grounds and resources needed to accomplish a few things. First, the Divine Academy was where all prospects with enough potential to become true powerhouses were trained. They received resources and the necessary Ancient Ruins to unlock their hidden potential.

But the most important aspect of the Divine Academy were the laboratories. The Divine Academy had multiple laboratories used for two particular tasks: To produce Blood Incursion and inject it into the students sent to the Divine Academy.

Michael knew of multiple places like this one, but the Divine Academy was the biggest. That was also why so many Divine Lifeforms protected it.

Keiros was located near the center of the Supreme Human Alliance's territory and protected by dozens of Hyuman Fortresses. However, compared to the other Hyuman Fortresses, these were protected much better. Each Hyuman Fortress was manned by a dozen Divine Lifeforms, each possessing a powerful Soultrait, some even two. But that was not all. The Hyuman Fortresses were also equipped with various devices used to weaken Demi-God, restrain their power temporarily, and ensure certain powers were more effective against them.

Michael didn't know everything about the devices in their possession, but he didn't care too much either way. He used Unlimited Enhancement on Galaxy of Elements, added Emperor Qi, Soul Tears of Soul Grimoire, True Extraction, and the compressed pure energy within the Void Ingots obliterate the enemy forces.

To be precise, Michael consumed the Void Ingots stored in the Swallow Domain storage via Permute to unleash Swallow Domain again. He swallowed the Hyuman Fortresses – without wasting his precious energy on devouring the Higher Lifeforms and Divine Awakened. Michael left them alive but killed them swiftly. Emperor Qi Swords en masse were more than enough to kill the Higher Lifeforms while using his other Soultraits was probably overkill when it came to eliminating Tier-7 Divine Lifeforms. But Michael didn't care. He used as much power as he thought to be necessary to eliminate his enemies before they could sound the alarm. The explosions created by Galaxy of Elements exposed him a little, but Michael moved fast enough through the planetary system to devour the Hyuman Fortresses built throughout it within seconds. Michael didn't stop the time, but his actions were fast. He first devoured all Hyuman Fortresses, wasting a precious portion of the stored Void Ingots, before slaying the Hyumans.

Michael's actions were fast and precise. He'd calculated the danger level dozens of times to ensure the Super Awakened wouldn't suffer from defeat. Maybe there were many Divine Lifeforms on Keiros and in the planetary system, but the Tier-8 powerhouses had been deployed to the Novix Galaxy's border. The sudden appearance of 600 Divine Lifeforms strong enough to fight Tier-8 Hyumans came as a surprise, forcing the Supreme Human Alliance to stretch their defenses thin.

Thus, since the inner areas of the Supreme Human Alliance hadn't been attacked for centuries, the SHA's authorities chose to remove the Tier-8 Hyumans from defending places like the Divine Academy. There was no need to be afraid of the attack of powerful enemies. The Divine Academy was protected by more than enough Divine Lifeforms even after the Tier-8 powerhouses left.

Unfortunately, that wasn't true. The Supreme Human Alliance suffered a major backlash for their actions, but that was expected. Either the Supreme Human Alliance would have ignored the border to the Novix Galaxy, which would have cost them the Novix Galaxy and exposed the Genox Galaxy to the Altors Union, or they would be forced to change their tactic, stretch their forces thin all across their frontlines and fight more defensively than they did until now.

The Supreme Human Alliance chose to switch to defense, inevitably thinning their defenses. Maybe that would have worked under normal circumstances, but Michael didn't give them normal circumstances. Everything he did was an anomaly, more or less.

Gathering 199 Super Awakened and teleporting straight to the inner area of the Supreme Human Alliance was certainly not normal. Nobody expected that, even though Michael's actions had been confusing and weird.

Still, destroying the Hyuman Fortresses – swallowing them – and killing the Divine Lifeforms and High Awakened manned on the fortresses wasn't all he did. He removed the defense system all over Keros, which also consumed a fraction of the stored Void Ingots' energy. After that, Michael chose to visit the laboratories.

He wasn't excited to visit some of the laboratories where Blood Incursion was created, but it was necessary to go there. Destroying the place instantly was also not the right choice. He could have done so, but finding out more about Blood Incursion may help him learn more about easier ways to produce a countermeasure.

Once he learned how Blood Incursion was created up to the finest details of its production, Michael may be able to find a way to reverse Blood Incursion with something else. Maybe Rebecca could find a method to accelerate the reversal of blood incursion or make it cheaper. Preferably both if possible.

With that in mind, Michael teleported to the nearest laboratory. The first thing he did was to welcome the researchers with Emperor Qi Swords. He killed them without a second thought. Since Mind Watcher reached 8-Star, Michael didn't even need the targets to be alive. It was enough if the targets died less than one hour ago. That condition was fulfilled, giving Michael more than enough time using Mind Reader to search through the researcher's mind and find out as much as possible.

That wasn't enough. Thus, Michael used True Extraction Essence to extract as many Memory Orbs as possible. The situation wasn't too great because Michael would much rather avoid consuming the Memory Orbs of those responsible for the creation and mass production of Blood Incursion, but there was no other way.

Michael consumed close to a hundred Memory Orbs of the researchers and started his own research.

A few hours – in which he was also forced to pay attention to the other laboratories, his Super Awakened, and a few other things – passed. The information he acquired through Mind Watcher and the Memory Orbs was intense but Michael had to digest everything properly and study more to find out if Blood Incursion could be reversed and what kind of aftermath the reversal of Blood Incursion would have on those infected for a short time and those infected for decades, if not centuries.

[If I'm not wrong, we can create a slow-processing poison that works against Blood Incursion. It will affect the mind and soul of the victims, but you can also configure the poison to have certain effects that drain the target's energy and nutrients to heal him faster. The victim's soul and mind would be regenerated as it is destroyed, thus slowly removing the Blood Incursion's effect, but the problem is that they need lots of energy and nutrients to survive.] Jormungandr came up with a solution, but Michael only shrugged.

"Maybe that's something we can focus on in the future. For now, this is a little bit too tricky. I'm not good with poison. Then again, if you want to work on it. Why not?"
