Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2026: Can it create? (1)

The sea witches had truly outpaced the entire world in several key areas.

These beings served as scholars, delving into a vast array of subjects.

Consequently, they harbored numerous secrets that remained concealed from others.

This so-called tonic they mentioned stood out as one such secret, far from ordinary.

In fact, the sea witches possessed remarkable foresight, uncovering a truly astonishing discovery.

For any creature to survive, its body needed to adjust accordingly. That explained how illness prompted the growth of resistance against the cause of that sickness.

Yet for individuals who had never fallen ill, they lacked the foundation required to build such resistance.

From this, the sea witches deduced a potential method to pass immunity directly from one being to another.

"We call it tonic for short, but really it’s a blood tonic that we make from the blood of the one that has this immunity."

A peculiar expression crossed my face upon hearing those words, as I recognized exactly what they meant. This practice echoed events from my previous life's history, though advanced medicine there had long abandoned it.

It came as a shock to learn that the sea witches had pioneered vaccines, even if limited to blood-based versions for now.

Nevertheless, it mirrored closely the allergy treatments I recalled.

In my former life, those shots gradually strengthened tolerance to allergens over time.

Though not the instant cure that could grant other races immediate immunity, it offered a viable step forward from nothing at all.

Yet a major obstacle persisted.

Even with their prior success in blood vaccines, such advancements required a solid foundation. After all, the core of any blood vaccine lay in the specific immunity it targeted.

They understood that the waters beyond their domain posed dangers to other races, but pinpointing the exact threat would demand considerable time.

Once identified, extracting the relevant immunity from mermaid blood to craft the vaccine would follow, a process fraught with challenges.

Developing and distributing it would stretch over years, making it far from a simple undertaking.

Truly, no one could predict the duration needed for such an endeavor.

The sea witches appeared eager to commit to this pursuit, driven by their curiosity, yet the Merman King showed no patience for such delays.

After all, this venture risked further damaging their already fragile alliances.

With other race members returning in dire states, observed by their kin, resentment had surely festered within. They likely blamed the mermaids for harming their fellows, reigniting old suspicions.

All prior efforts to ease these tensions now lay shattered, with animosity poised to escalate into something far worse.

Thus, the Merman King urgently sought a swift resolution.

Only then could they mend their fractured bonds anew.

His gaze turned to me, expectant of some breakthrough from my side.

This expectation puzzled me, given my lack of expertise in research.

Though I had suggested the concept, no one viewed me as capable of inventing such a thing. Those familiar with me knew this fell outside my abilities and wouldn't burden me with it.

But the Merman King's attention stemmed not from that.

It arose from Aestum's earlier words.

Aestum claimed I held the ability to alter these peoples' destinies, and surely he intended more than merely proposing vaccines.

Especially since the sea witches had already devised that approach.

Given time, they would have reached it independently, albeit at the cost of prolonged relational strife.

I pondered deeply what unique asset I might possess to address this crisis.

Aestum wouldn't voice such a claim without a genuine path forward.

There must have been a compelling reason behind his assertion of my power.

Still, despite racking my brain, no clear solution emerged.

Nothing in my arsenal seemed equipped to conjure a vaccine from nowhere...

"Wait, creation..." I whispered abruptly to myself, glancing down at my palms.

Gazing there, I summoned the divine energy within me, observing it intently as it enveloped my hand.

A reluctant notion invaded my thoughts, one I hesitated to embrace, yet it grew increasingly plausible with each consideration.

This alone set me apart from all others.

"Only would something like this be possible? This seems like something only a god would be able to do..."
