Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

"Is this the poisonous mushroom you were talking about?" Elliot asked.

"Yes, I am sure it is." Freya said, "It's best to go around it."

"Why? Can't we just destroy it?"

"It explodes when it feels like it's under threat, releasing a wave of poison that washes over anything within a kilometer of it. I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't come out of it unaffected." Freya made the situation more clear to them.

[Toxic Mushroom]

[Description: Under the care of a professional herbalist, it has grown to its peak state.]

[Poison level: Level 6]

[Skills: Explosion, pollen discharge]

[Note: It's a highly toxic mushroom, and its poison can affect Kings and magic emperors."

Elliot inspected the green mushroom and confirmed that everything Freya said was true. The green mushroom was a level 6 poison-type creature.

"Give me a moment."

"Twelve minutes later, I need to return to the twilight forest. Whether I can help you with killing the queen or not and how much depends on the time left out of those twelve minutes when he reaches her. Everything is up to you."

Yes, he was taking the role of the bystander after coming so far.

Elliot gave him a weird look. Many people had given him that look, and they all had the same thought in their minds. They cursed him as an egoist and eccentric man.

Elliot was no different. He badmouthed Zerrick in his mind and moved towards the green dick-like mushroom.

Freya scratched her ears. She was too insignificant and didn't want to interfere in the matter of two high-level beings like Elliot and Zerrick. Freya stood by the side in silence. Of course, she would not hesitate to cheer for Elliot at any time of the day.

"Don't worry. I will make sure that we will reach the spider queen in the shortest time possible."

Elliot's voice sounded in their ears. They both turned to look at him, only to see him moving towards the green mushroom.

Zerrick's eye raised high, and he said in a somewhat taunting voice, "Didn't you hear what the lass said a while ago, or did you forget it?"

He was sure Elliot wasn't the type to fool around and not pay attention to what others said.

He should know what would happen if he went towards the green mushroom, so why was he still heading towards his death?

Could it be that he was a shaking M (masochist)?!

Freya's eyes widened like saucers, and she said in a voice full of worry, "My lord, please come back. Going towards it is too dangerous."

Elliot rolled his eyes.

'Is she my mother?'

'Why does she keep on worrying about me?'

He turned towards her. There was a smile on his face that made him appear gentle in the eyes of the onlookers.

"I will be fine."

Just like Freya said, the moment he got close to it, the green mushroom started throbbing. Veins appeared on it. It was as if it had the height of pleasure and was going to climax.

Elliot coughed. 'What the heck am I seeing? When the fuck did plant life become so perverted?! I guess you're what you eat, and you become somewhat similar to those you interact with within your life. Sine, the spider queen, is a whore who mates with men of any race; the things I am going to find close to her bed aren't going to be innocent either.'

While Elliot made fun of the spider queen in his mind, the green mushroom released pollen so small that they were invisible to the eyes. Elliot saw them, though. He had poured the essence of life into his life, and it strengthened his vision so much that he was able to get a clear picture of what was going on in his surrounding.

He saw green dots coming towards him, latching on to him, forcing their way into him through his pores.

'These must be the poisonous pollens of the mushroom. Good! Guys, get to work. I am sure you're all feeling hungry. Daddy has brought food for you all. Don't hesitate. Gobble them all up. Eat them until you're bloated and can't eat anymore.'

Elliot's supernatural cells responded to his thoughts, and they released a suction force so strong that in a matter of moments, all traces of the green mushroom's poison vanished from his body, disappearing into his cells.

Your A-ranked supernatural cell has absorbed a level six poison.

They have gained a slight increase in their evolutionary stage.

They have taken another step towards S-rank.

Please keep up the excellent work.

You aren't too far away from becoming the owner of an S-ranked ability.

The poison mushroom kept on throbbing and releasing poisonous pollen. Freya and Zerrick saw him stepping towards it with stable steps. There was no change in his expression and behavior. It was as if it wasn't him who its poison was assaulting be.

"How could that be?" Freya was so shocked that her jaw threatened to drop to touch the ground.

Zerrick, on the other hand, looked at the young man's back with a deep pondering expression. He was a sublime Emperor. He was able to see poison surrounding Elliot, and he also noticed that all of it was going inside of him. Even he wasn't sure how much he would suffer from taking in such a considerable quantity of high-quality poison, yet the other party was unhurt.

A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes before he laughed, "Hahaha, he hid his capabilities too deep."

"Huh?"

"Can't you still understand after seeing him swagger his way towards the green mushroom? He is immune to poison!" Zerrick exclaimed.

"Oh!" Freya, with her mouth opened in a complete round, looked too enticing right now. Her little pink tongue would make any man feel the need to kiss her. There was no one here to admire her beauty. Zerrick wasn't interested in her, and Elliot had his entire focus on the green mushroom.

As he was reaching it, he created a dome with no way out. It enclosed him and the poison mushroom.

The toxic mushroom instinctively felt fear, and as it felt afraid, it didn't hesitate to self-explode.

Boom!
