There's no doubt, after witnessing the mutation of the lung lobe firsthand, Jack and Wu Yue found this so-called "immortality" even more repulsive.
Yun You clearly wasn't interested in it either, which is why she hadn't used the ability [Eating] to absorb the power of the lung lobe.
"Since none of us are interested, we might as well destroy it now."
The little girl casually said, raising her small knife and immediately prepared to act.
She had watched many similar horror films before, where the protagonists sometimes got hold of crucial props, and simply by destroying all the props, they could end the monster's life.
But for the so-called "show effect," the director always decreased the characters' intelligence, and the props they got hold of were never directly destroyed. Instead, the idea was to collect all props and destroy them together.
And in these cases, the monster in the movie often took advantage when the protagonist collected all the props to snatch them all away, then resurrected in a full state to slaughter those foolish characters.
Yun You felt this was too stupid; one should never make such low-level mistakes.
So what she thought was, take one piece of organ and do her best to destroy one piece.
This way, even if she failed in the end and couldn't prevent "its" resurrection, "it" wouldn't get all the organs.
Once she decided, she acted.
Yun You exerted force with her wrist, and the alloy knife in her palm, with a thousand pounds of force, heavily stabbed into the lung lobe, making a crisp "creak" sound.
The boy's organs were indeed exceedingly hard, even stronger in hardness than usual alloy.
But Yun You, after all, is the Apprentice Death God, and even the weakest Death God during the Internship Period has the power to cut through gold and jade, so her blade still deeply pierced this lung lobe.
However, the thing was just too tough. Even though Yun You was exerting herself to the fullest, she could only slowly split the lung lobe at an extremely slow pace.
But this speed couldn't destroy it because the lung lobe's regeneration ability was as strong as its hardness. Yun You exerted great effort to cut out a small opening, but it immediately healed, and some cells even grew directly on the knife, adhering tightly to the blade like red bacteria...
"It looks like it's hard to handle..."
Jack slightly furrowed his eyebrows, took out a small bottle of incendiary agent from his pocket, and softly suggested, "How about trying fire?"
"Alright."
Yun You nodded, then took the incendiary agent, sprinkled it on the lung lobe, and then forcefully twisted the dagger.
Scratch—!
The next moment, sparks created by the dagger rapidly rubbing against the lung lobe ignited all the incendiary agent.
Firelight soared to the sky, and the instant explosion created a thick pillar of fire, with blue flames of extreme temperature enveloping the lung lobe, burning nonstop.
Initially, the lung lobe did curl up, instinctively trying to avoid the flames, like most animals in the world, with a natural fear of fire.
But as time passed, it gradually realized that the flames couldn't seem to harm it.
Even thousands of degrees of high temperature couldn't cook it, only carbonizing its shell, causing minute insignificant injuries.
But it wasn't afraid of such injuries at all.
Quickly, the high-speed regeneration ability appeared again, and its flesh rapidly repaired itself, even audaciously growing amidst the flames...
Finally, when the incendiary agent was exhausted, the flames slowly extinguished.
This time, both the Curse Pottery Jar and the yellow clay ground beneath it were burned black, but the lung lobe residing there still remained intact.
"Seems like high temperature isn't working either."
Frost Moon pondered for a moment, then took out a high-pressure injector from his backpack, filled with a blue-green liquid emitting a bitter almond smell.
"Try poison, didn't Aurora say poison might work?"
He handed the syringe to Yun You, explaining, "This is purified 'Marsh Stinger Fish' poison sac extract, similar in nature to ordinary cyanide, but the toxicity is 300 times that of ordinary cyanide; only 0.002 grams are needed to kill a person."
"If Aurora used cyanide effectively, then it should work too, but its usage is special; it needs to be injected into the bloodstream to be effective...be careful when using it, don't stick yourself."
Yun You nodded, then took the liquid and pressed it against the lung lobe.
"..."
The lung lobe slightly trembled, seemingly realizing what it was about to undergo.
But it couldn't resist, only let Yun You press the switch, allowing the high-pressure gas to inject the liquid directly into its body.
Afterwards...
This peculiar organ abruptly convulsed, twitching up and down.
The cyanide-like poison blocks hemoglobin absorption of oxygen in the victim's body, causing "chemical asphyxiation."
This is extremely deadly to any creature that requires oxygen.
The lung lobe organ of the young king, although its strength had already departed from the realm of ordinary humans, its principle remained unchanged, still needing to breathe, needing oxygen.
So, in theory, this poison should have an effect.
But theory is theory, practice is practice.
Despite the lung lobe's constant spasms, showing symptoms of asphyxia, it never died.
Through movement, it swiftly expelled the toxic substances to the alveolar part, then voluntarily abandoned this part of the alveoli, letting it become rotten, preserving the whole through "sacrificing a wrist for survival" method.
This time, Yun You knew why its alveoli kept rotting.
It turned out to be its detoxification mechanism.
Previously, when the jar was opened, the reason it emitted such astonishing stench might have been because two weeks ago Aurora found it, fed it some cyanide, which then triggered its detoxification mechanism.
"Can't be killed with a knife, won't burn to death, now even the poison has no effect..."
Yun You furrowed her brows tightly, feeling a bit troubled.
"How to kill it then?"
She thought of the Red Scale Giant Claw.
In terms of sharpness, her claw could certainly cut the lung lobe like cutting butter.
But the issue was, Yun You's current physical strength could only allow her to swing the claw 4 to 5 times.
Could she wipe out over 90% of the lung lobe structure within 5 claw swipes?
Clearly difficult.
[Foolish Yun You!]
Suddenly, Master Zero suddenly spoke, breaking the difficulty and silence.
[Did you forget your strongest ability?]
"Strongest..."
Hearing this word, the little girl was slightly stunned, but she casually reacted too.
Her strongest ability wasn't the Red Scale Giant Claw, nor the power of Death God Sequence, nor talent.
It was the innate "Eating" ability.
As long as the conditions for eating were met, no matter how strong the enemy, Yun You could swallow it and transform it into her growth nutrient.
"I know eating is definitely effective...but..."
The little girl stared at the lung lobe, her tone somewhat hesitant.
"I don't know whether eating this thing will affect me, I don't want to become that lump of meat in the story!"
"Master Zero, you don't want to see me become that kind of thing either, right?"
[...]
Master Zero paused, evidently somewhat speechless.
[What are you afraid of? You're doubting your own ability!]
[I'll be honest with you, Yun You, your eating ability definitely exceeds your imagination.]
[As long as it's a living thing, as long as you catch it, as long as the conditions are met, then even a god can be eaten by you! And turn into the purest, most normal energy!]
[It will digest all harmful substances, leaving only the essence for you to enjoy, understand?]
[So, don't worry, open your mouth, and feast heartily!]
[Let it become your food and transform into your strength and a part of you!]
