Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

Previously, Arkham was very primitive and backward. The city hall had many functions, and everyone had to handle several things at the same time. As a result, there were almost no professional talents, and everyone was only half-baked, resulting in extremely low efficiency.

For a long time to come, he plans to undertake large-scale infrastructure projects in Arkham, including road and bridge construction and renovation of the East and River districts, all of which will require a large number of talents and personnel.

At the same time, sufficient supervision is needed in attracting investment, and more talent is needed in areas such as preferential policies, taxation, and government finance.

Los now discovers that the entire city of Arkham lacks even a separate civil administration, census agency, and marriage registry.

As for other departments within the Ministry of Finance, there are none specifically responsible for attracting investment!

What Los lacks in Arkham now is not execution ability. The fervent worship that the citizens have for Los means that even if Los suddenly declares himself independent and becomes emperor, no one will question or oppose him.

What he lacks now is professionals with very strong business capabilities.

Therefore, he is now preparing to establish a separate human resources department, which will be responsible for the unified management of all positions and employees in the entire municipal government, as well as recruiting talents from all over the country.

“This personnel department is extremely important. It is related to the development of Arkham for a long time to come. It is the top priority of my future plans. Lilith, I can only entrust this matter to you,” Los said seriously.

Lilith looked down at the plan Los had written, and nodded confidently and seriously: "Don't worry, Master, I won't let you down."

Lilith is actually very well-suited for human resources work. Her special abilities and related experiences give her a deep understanding of people's inner thoughts and psychology.

Even in judging people, Los is no match for Lilith; no one else can compare.

Los continued, "At this stage, your personnel department has extremely high authority. You are in charge of finding employees for relevant departments, comparing the salaries and benefits with those of other city governments in the Empire, and developing a recruitment plan that is both advantageous and cost-effective. Daryl and the committees of various regions will fully cooperate with you in this matter."

“Okay, I’ll take care of it now.” Lilith seemed to have a clear understanding of the matter.

Los asked with some curiosity, "What? You have a target now?"

Lilith chuckled: "Although my wisdom is not even a fraction of my master's, I still enjoy observing humans. There are some very interesting people I've kept in mind these past few days."

"Alright, I'll leave this to you!"

Lilith then drifted away with a strange smile on her lips.

Just after Lilith left, Daryl rushed over with a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Mayor, Danny has sent a message."

Los glanced down at the brief message, and upon seeing the words "suspected special organism blood," he immediately stood up and said, "Prepare the car; I'm going to Innsmouth."

"it is good!"

An hour later, Los arrived in Innsmouth, which had been reduced to ruins, by car.

Today, all the buildings in Innsmouth have been leveled, and there are huge trenches everywhere. The ground near the coast has completely collapsed, and seawater has flooded in, reducing the area of ​​the entire city by about one-tenth.

As he turned to get out of the car, Los heard a sharp cracking sound the moment he stepped off.

Looking down, he saw that it was an old man's forearm bone that had been broken by Los.

“Over the years, countless people have died out of fear.” Los sighed and walked toward the eastern part of the city.

The entire city has been abandoned, and cars cannot drive in; this section of the road can only be traversed on foot.

As he walked forward, Los glanced around at the ruins, which were stained with dark red blood, and the entire city reeked of a foul stench.

Los knew that in a few years, if it wasn't cleaned up in time, the stench would turn into putrid stench, and the place would become a breeding ground for countless bacteria and plagues.

"Mayor!" As they passed by, two soldiers who were clearing the rubble immediately saluted respectfully.

Los smiled and nodded, continuing forward, and soon saw Charles and Danny waiting outside.

"Master!" Two people hurriedly came over.

Los nodded and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

The three of them then went up the stairs back to the underground space.

As soon as he came down, Los's eyes were drawn to the egg-shaped objects in the pools around him.

Of course, what really attracted him was not the egg-shaped object, but the small amount of dark green liquid about the size of an adult's index finger inside.

"Come here, this trip was worthwhile!" Los looked happy and satisfied when he saw the thing.

Danny asked curiously, "Master, what is this?"

Los said, "These are diluted ancient god blood. Judging from their state, they are a reward from the Dagon cult to their followers."

"Diluted ancient god blood!?" Upon hearing this, the two were immediately shocked.

Los came to the edge of the pool, picked up an egg-shaped object, and pinched the drop of dark green liquid inside, putting it into his mouth.

Instantly, an aura of madness and chaos erupted from the blood, rushing straight into Los's head through his mouth.

Unfortunately, it was not facing an ordinary human being.

This thought didn't even get past the barrier of Los's oral mucosa before it was instantly dissolved by the saliva in Los's mouth.

Then Los smacked his lips and said, "The taste isn't great, but the purity is pretty good. The dilution ratio should be around 50:1."

"If the ratio is 50:1, can ordinary people use these things directly?" Charles asked curiously.

Los shook his head and said, "Of course not. No matter how diluted it is, the essence of this blood is something that ordinary people cannot withstand. If ordinary people were to take it rashly, they would only turn into a mindless lump of flesh that only knows how to devour everything."

Upon hearing this, Charlton felt a chill run down his spine, then smiled wryly and said, "This is not the situation I imagined."

Los bluntly stated, "Heroes who gain invincible power by consuming dragon blood, in reality, would probably be burned to death by the dragon blood, or it would have no effect at all. In the end, the nutrients in it would be absorbed by them and turn into excrement."

Chapter 0165 Exploiting the Old Ones

After giving a brief explanation, Los turned to look at the quantity around him and said, "There are about seventy drops left, enough for Murcy and the others to experiment for a while."

After tasting it, Los discovered that the blood of the ancient god here did not come from Cthulhu, but from another ancient god.

Another point he was certain of was that the ancient god had not come to this world, because the blood of these ancient gods was extracted from human bodies through a special method.

"Through special faith, the power of the ancient god is allowed to grow in one's body, and it takes all the nutrients of a human to condense such a drop of diluted ancient god blood."

Yes, the blood of the ancient gods here has been diluted since it appeared.

After all, the blood of the ancient god is not some other chemical agent that can be diluted with a little water.

Only ancient gods, or rather, half-ancient gods like Los, can dilute the blood of ancient gods.

Los warned, "Be careful when moving them. Don't damage these eggs. The blood of these ancient gods is very unstable. If they come into direct contact with the air, it's not just a minor issue that they might drive the people around them crazy. The real danger is that they might aggregate and form special monsters."

Danny nodded immediately after hearing this: "Understood!"

After dealing with things here, Los turned his gaze to the central altar of the space.

"The Dagonite cult actually worships two deities at the same time?" Los looked at the two thrones in the middle, and finally his gaze fell on the fountain in the middle.

"It's not about worshipping two gods at the same time, but about worshipping one and suppressing the other!?" Los immediately realized that the fountain was the center of the entire altar, and the viscous substance flowing in the fountain belonged to Cthulhu, the blood of a true Great Old One.

Through his observation, Los discovered that the altar was completely hollow, with a large number of loops in the middle like blood vessels, through which viscous blood constantly circulated.

The special power they formed completely sealed off and suppressed the entire ground here.

"So, there's also a dungeon labyrinth sealing away ancient gods beneath Innsmouth!?" Los's eyes lit up at this thought.

“That makes sense. That explains why they have the blood of other ancient gods.”

Afterwards, Los used all his knowledge to examine the altar in detail.

"The altar was built later, about a thousand years ago."

"The altar is connected to the ground, and to enter it, you must first understand how the blood of the ancient gods flows."

Thinking of this, Los leaped up and went straight to the altar.

The fountain itself wasn't very large; the patterns at the bottom seemed to be made up of countless seashells, and there wasn't any excess blood stored in the lower pool.

The blood flowing from beneath the top of the statue seeped in the moment it fell, beginning a new cycle.

Standing beside the fountain, just standing there, Los felt a deep malice and madness, as if the existence of this blood was a desecration of the entire world, the source of all filth and evil.

Los stretched out his palm and caught a lump of viscous blood.

The moment the blood touched Los's skin, it was like hot oil being poured into water, boiling wildly.

The blood then combined to form an indescribable, bizarre thing filled with strange tentacles and tendrils. This thing infiltrated and devoured Los's body tissues while spreading along the blood vessels toward Los's heart and brain.

At that moment, Los felt his mind being dragged into the dark depths of the sea.

At the bottom of the ocean, where no one can reach, there stands an incomparably magnificent and enormous temple.

In the center of this temple, an indescribably terrifying being sat there, with terrifying wings that could blot out the sky, tentacles as large as mountain ranges, and arms like pillars supporting the heavens. Just sitting there, it inspired despair and made people question why they had any reason, why they had to see all this.

In a daze, Los saw the enormous creature's left arm slowly reaching towards him, and then an indescribable voice rang in his ear.

In that instant, Los's mind suffered a severe blow, and countless chaotic and filthy thoughts filled his mind, making it impossible for him to think normally.

In reality, it seemed that all the dark green blood had stopped circulating and was now gathering towards Los as if it had its own consciousness.

Large amounts of blood seeped into Los's arm, continuously engulfing his normal body.

At this moment, Los's entire left side turned dark green, and strange scales began to grow on it. It also began to swell and deform, gradually losing its human form.

At this critical moment, a pair of wings suddenly sprouted from the head on Los's body, flapping as they detached from his neck and flew into the air.

The instant his head left his body, Los's lifeless eyes instantly regained all their light, and then the blood that was about to devour his body rapidly receded from his body as if time had reversed.

"Since you're here, don't leave!" Los sneered, reaching out to grab the large clump of what looked like keyboard glue.

The dark green liquid seemed to have lost all its power and only wanted to escape Los's control as soon as possible.

At that moment, Los casually waved his hand, and a key that shimmered with a hazy light suddenly appeared in his hand.

He then took out his key and twisted it hard against the lump of something, as if he were opening a door.

In an instant, the dark green thing was surrounded by countless points of light, and then disappeared in the next second, its whereabouts unknown.

Los casually put away the silver key and said, "Luckily, I left a backdoor so my head could take off on its own in a critical moment, otherwise I would have really fallen for it this time."

The Cthulhu blood here is not the actual blood of the Old Gods, but a special liquid that carries some of the Old Gods' powers.

Los's mind had just been completely taken over by Cthulhu, pushing him to the brink of madness, and as a result, Los's head was detached.

That infinitely expandable mind instantly absorbed all the terror that Cthulhu had given it, and incidentally gained a lot of knowledge about the ocean and Cthulhu.

Faced with this situation, the sealed Great Old Ones were powerless and could only watch helplessly as Los broke free from their control.

After carefully considering his current situation, Los was surprised to find that he had actually gained five levels after acquiring some knowledge of Cthulhu.

"Let me see, what strange knowledge have I gained this time."

"The techniques for raising deep-sea creatures, the skills for dreaming in eternal slumber, and how to make humans believe they are the creator god."

"What the hell is all this?"
