Chapter 20: Death and Life
"Lord Ivan, the Straw Hat Boy has woken up. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ivankov withdrew his palm from Sig's head and said in surprise:
"Huh? That straw hat kid was so fast? I thought he would have to lie down for two more days at the earliest before he could act, are the young people all monsters now, you go and greet him, I still have to take care of this side. ”
"The Straw Hat Kid is eating over there, and I don't need to take care of it, how is Mr. Sieg?"
Compared to Luffy, who was eating, Lightning was obviously more concerned about Sig's state.
"I've never seen anyone survive the poison of Magellan's giant soldiers, but it's incredible that Seeger is still alive in a strange state."
Ivankov did have a reason to be surprised, knowing that when Sig first teleported here, there was hardly a piece of good meat on his body, which was almost corroded by Magellan's venom, and Ivankov just looked at Sig's miserable state and decided that he would be turned into a puddle of pus by the venom within a few minutes.
……
"The venom is so corrosive that he can't hold his body to produce anti-toxicity, and he doesn't even need to inject healing hormones."
This was Ivankov's judgment at that time, although ruthless, but also true.
It's not that he doesn't want to save Sig, although the lack of favor owed to Sieg makes him pay the entire level5.5 for Sig's friends, but there is no problem in saving Sig unconditionally a few times, and even he has repeatedly told Sig to return to him immediately if it doesn't work, which is also the reason why Sig teleported directly to him after he fell into a coma.
But Magellan's poison, he really has never had a precedent for saving it, and it is reasonable to give up Sigurd.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, when he wanted to come over to deal with the venom left behind by Sigurg's corrosion, Sig was still alive and tenacious, and his injuries did not worsen much, as if the venom did not corrode him.
Curious, Ivankov looked at it for a while, and soon found that it was not that the venom did not corrode Sig's body, but that every time the venom corroded to a certain extent, a jet-black lightning flashed on his body, restoring his body to its original state, and so on and so on, so that he did not really die.
However, Ivankov also found that the frequency of this lightning flashing was getting slower and slower, and several times Ivankov saw Sig's internal organs through the corroded holes, and the brightness of the lightning became lower and lower, and it took longer and longer to recover his body.
On the contrary, those toxins that have completely invaded Sig's body, no matter how many times Sig recovers, it will still maintain a steady rate of corrosion, and unhurriedly take away Sig's life.
Obviously, if there is no accident, and if this trend continues, although Sieg's death is delayed, it will still come after a certain time.
However, Ivankov happened to be that accident, he didn't treat Sieg because he thought that Sieg didn't have any hope of living, and now that there is a slight possibility, he will naturally not be stingy with curing hormones.
And if the previous Sig only surprised him, after he helped Sig inject or cure the hormones, he immediately couldn't close his mouth:
I saw that although Sig, who had been injected with healing hormones, did not go against the sky to expel the venom, his recovery ability was strengthened countless times, and the black lightning kept beating on his body, and every time the venom corroded his body a little bit, he would recover instantly.
And Sig's immune system seems to have been activated by the healing hormones, almost visible to the naked eye, the speed of venom corrosion on his body has slowed down little by little, and the color of his face is no longer as gray and lifeless as before.
In fact, Ivankov's treatment was crooked.
Sigurt was able to survive Magellan's giant soldier venom for so long, relying on his newly developed pseudo-elementalization, which on the surface is an inferior imitation of elementalization, and can only be used to restore the body after a limb injury, and many of the true elementalized tricks cannot be used, but the core of the two is actually completely different.
Elementalization is the transformation of oneself into an element, which can naturally ignore the physical attacks of the enemy, and can even be instantly healed if the body is blown off like the yellow ape in the original book, which is indeed impossible to do with pseudo-elementalization.
But the disadvantage of elementalization is that no matter how many of the same elements you seem to derive, there are only so many of your own body, and if you really lose a part of it, after removing the elementalization, your body will also lose this part and cannot be restored, which is why those who have natural Devil Fruit abilities will still be left with wounds.
Obviously, Magellan's Giant Soldier Poison is a toxin that can destroy the natural system.
And this shortcoming, pseudo-elementalization, is not there, because its core is actually Moria's shadow ability (that is, the ability of the Straw Hats who were obviously burned half of their bodies by the sun, but the shadow returned to completely recover), although the cost is huge, but it can restore the body out of thin air, and what the Thunder Fruit provides for this ability is actually to use the recovery of injured body parts to save the consumption of recovery out of thin air.
But now, it is obviously impossible for Sieg's body to be recovered by the venom, and the recovery of his wounds naturally relies on the recovery of the shadow ability out of thin air, and the consumption has greatly increased, plus there is not much mental qi left in his body, which can support more than ten minutes, it is already his body's instinct to slow down the recovery frequency, and even forcibly overdraw his vitality.
Even so, it's just a pointless stretch of life.
You know, in order to recover from the injuries he was beaten by Karp, he burned an entire contract to do it, and now although his injuries seem to be much lighter than then, he can't help but recover more times, and the cost of wounds of the same size is much larger - at that time, he didn't just rely on shadow abilities.
But Ivankov's healing hormones make Seeger's delay meaningful.
Because the healing hormone itself is not an antidote, but a potent hormone comparable to a poison, which can accelerate the body's metabolism by tens, hundreds or even thousands of times, so that the body's immune system can produce antibodies faster to achieve the effect of healing.
The cure rate is only one or two percent, because this hormone is a kind of poison, many people can't resist the production of antibodies at all, they are poisoned by the hormone itself, and some people have resisted the poison of hormones, but when the hormone effect has passed, the body has not produced enough antibodies, which is also a dead end.
However, this highly toxic hormone, for Sig, is equivalent to instantly upgrading his mental energy from a steam engine to nuclear power - because mental ability is originally a kind of life energy generated by the body, and it is not only the metabolism of the immune system that accelerates the healing hormones, but the body itself.
