Pills achieve this strengthening by stimulating the body to grow. As long as there is food to supply the body with energy, the stimulation will lead to growth until the body reaches its limit.
Tonics, on the other hand, cause the mind and spirit to grow. They increase the rate at which information is processed in the mind and increase the perception of the mind.
Both pills and tonics are produced from special plants and animals acquired in the wild. It is why they are effective.
They both have side effects, though. The side effect of using the pills is an increase in body temperature and constant itching.
The increase in body temperature is not only a matter of discomfort. The body can get so hot that the brain will be fried. So it is a matter of life and death.
This terrible fever is then accompanied by itching all over the body. The itching will be so bad that nothing he can do will alleviate it. The itching won’t stop until the effect of the pill is over.
He can’t do anything about the itching. But the cold water in his bathtub will help with the fever. As for the tonic, its side effect is milder. It is only a hallucination.
Of course, this hallucination can still cause death. Someone hallucinating can burn their whole house down with them within it. They won’t know that they are killing themselves. They will just think they are burning a grass.
Hallucination is mild, but it can be an insidious killer. If someone doesn’t have a strong mind, they will be led astray into doing dangerous things.
He has a strong mind, but he still tied up his leg to prevent it from moving around when he took the tonics.
If his mind is affected by the hallucination, his hands won’t be able to do complicated things that need fine body control and precise actions. So the knot he used to tie his feet together will effectively stop him from doing something stupid.
He also didn’t take both the tonic and the pills at the same time. That is something he was warned about several times.
The side effects of the two materials are dangerous on their own. It would be suicidal to take both materials at the same time and experience the side effects at the same time.
Hallucination might cause him to disregard his rising body temperature. He won’t know that he is dying until it is too late.
Despite taking all of these precautions, he still had to go to the lampbearer’s office once every day to show himself. After experiencing the side effects of the materials himself, he understood why they wanted to make sure that he was safe.
Usually, the materials have to be taken in the presence of someone else and with the assistance of a caretaker. This is the normal safety protocol.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have anyone he can trust. So he can only take care of himself.
Fortunately, this is not the first time he is preparing his existence. He has a lot of experience with this kind of thing, so he knew how to deal with the side effects effectively.
After the materials he bought from the lamp bearers ran out, he went to the white tower and the vault of gold to get more materials. Then he resumed preparing his existence.
If an average human body is considered to have a power of level 1, then the limit of the human body is considered level 5.
The power of the average human body refers to the power of an adult male at 20. That means the limit of the human body is five times that of an adult male.
Usually, the human body can reach level 2 at 30 years old normally. If there is exercise, then level 3 and level 4 are possible. Level 4 is usually the power of professional athletes and world record holders.
Level 5 is the limit that the human body can reach. In fact, for the humans that can reach level 4 on their own without pills, they can only do so briefly.
As for those who take pills and performance enhancing drugs like steroids, they can perform reliably at level 4 and some of them can even reach level 5 briefly at the risk of injury.
Meanwhile, those who reach level 5 by preparing their existence have this power at their beck and call without any strain on their body and mind.
Not only is this power sustainable, but it is an all-around development. Every aspect of the body, including strength, speed, toughness, stamina, and recovery, is elevated to level 5.
Even the resistance to disease, the rate at which injury heals, and resistance to poison will be elevated to level 5 too. It is a thorough and complete level of superhuman capabilities.
Then there is the power of the mind. At level 5, humans think faster, have better memories, and see the world more accurately. Their minds process information so fast that they see things happening at a slower speed.
Together, the elevated power of the body and mind leads to better control of the body, faster reflexes, and quicker reactions. This kind of power is why normal humans are no match for godclads at all.
This is just the result of the first step in becoming a godclad. The difference between humans and godclads widens drastically when divine flesh is involved.
Level 5 is the limit of the potential of humanity. According to history and the future, there are many ways to reach this limit. But the most efficient and safest method is to take the pills for the body and the tonic for the mind.
This method is not the cheapest method. The cheapest method is to eat the body of a godclad. One wouldn’t need to spend money buying expensive pills and tonics. But this method can lead to the most horrifying mutations.
The side effects of eating pills and tonics are bad enough already. But at least the pills have been processed, and the side effects are temporary.
On the other hand, the side effects of eating the corpse of a godclad directly are horrifying and permanent. It might be cheap in terms of money, but the cost in other matters can be exorbitant.
