What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(Elaria POV)

I showed him my data sheets, my clinical records, my bio scans, my biopsy reports and various other files that I have kept in the archives in my pursuit of creating the serum that would allow me to reach Godhood.

Brendan took a look at all the data I showed him and the only thing he said was, "Yeah… I can't understand any of this at all. Why don't you just show me the actual thing?"

Hmm… I guess expecting him to understand science just because he's an alchemist was too much.

Oh well, I guess showing him the actual serum might be better anyway so I went towards one of the vats that had someone floating inside of it.

Typing the passcode into the panel, I initiated a shutdown on the subject's testing procedure, causing the liquid inside the vat to start draining away.

It was then filtered to a vial beside the console, the filtering process leaving only a test tube's worth of the liquid behind.

Sleeping gas then flooded the vat, ensuring the subject remained unconscious.

I picked up the tube of the serum and handed it over to brother Brendan.

"This is one of the latest ones I'm testing. I've had a few of them soak in it and the results have been quite disappointing thus far."

Brendan took the tube from me before looking at the other vats, "You're doing the same for all of these?"

I scoffed, "Of course not. What kind of test would I be doing if every single one of them are the same? There's variations in the application method as well. Like the one over there is through injection and the one behind that is through a suppository."

Brendan nodded, "That's good. Wouldn't be much of a test if they're all the same. Could I see what the effects of this are at the moment?"

"Oh sure~ Let's see the injection one."

I went to another container and took out a similar looking tube as the one in Brendan's hand before going to one of the vats further back.

I inserted the tube into a slot in the console and the panel closed shut. Typing my password on the screen again, I initiated the application procedure on the subject.

The suspension liquid quickly drained away while a mechanical arm dropped down from the top of the vat. A needle popped out from one of its ends and injected itself into the subject's arm, delivering the dose of the serum directly into the subject's bloodstream.

At the same time, the liquid was finally fully drained from the vat and the glass slid up, removing the barrier between the subject and us.

More mechanical arms dropped down to start restraining his limbs while the tubes and masks detached themselves from the subject.

Right as the injector pulled back after administering the serum, the subject suddenly woke up and started screaming while thrashing around with strength much higher than what a normal human should have been capable of.

His body started bubbling and the left side of his face swelled up to three times its original size. The upper part of his arms and shoulders also started to swell up like balloons, further disfiguring him even as he continued to pull against his restraints.

Those mechanical arms might seem flimsy but I made them using monster parts and specially crafted metals that could withstand a rail gun without a scratch. Yet this subject managed to tear off one of the arms to use as a bat to swat away the other arms before it locked eyes with me.

I didn't need my genius intellect to know the subject was going to try and kill me.

Normally, I would have just initiated the lock down procedure to restrain and sedate the subject to see just what the effects of the serum were, but brother Brendan didn't need all that so I simply initiated the termination procedure instead.

The glass of the vat dropped down to lock the subject inside again before the floor of the vat opened up, dropping the subject down into the cavern I had dug out underneath this lab.

There, an incinerator ray was set up to completely eradicate anything I dropped inside it short of a real Divine. The incinerator was designed to burn almost as hot as sister Manami's flames so even if an actual God were to be dropped in there, he wouldn't be getting out of it unscathed either.

I turned to brother Brendan and asked casually, "So what do you think?"

He tapped his chin thoughtfully with an equally casual air, "Well… If I were to be honest… I already know what you're missing from this serum but I just wanted to see what was your thought process in making it."

My eyes widened, "You already know?! How?! I didn't even see you analyse the serum I gave you!"

"Well… I'm the God of Brews, remember? Anything that is 'brewed' in some way is under my domain, including this serum of yours. Thus when I held that vial you gave me, I already knew what it was."

That's so cool! Godhood really is amazing!! I want to ascend to be a Goddess too! Maybe I should be the Goddess of Imoutos where I can get Onii-sama to pamper me whenever I want with my domain? Ehehehe~ That would definitely be an absolute dream~

Shaking myself out of my fantasy for the moment, I turned to ask him, "So what exactly am I doing wrong?"

He handed the serum back to me, "I can see that you're focusing more on the biological aspects where you try to transform a person to become Divine by altering their body's physical makeup to something similar to a God's."

I nodded to confirm his words, he really was amazing!

"I managed to get my hands on some DNA that I pilfered from some Gods, so I have been trying to match the human's to the divine one to cause the human to undergo the transformation into a Divine. But all I have done is create monstrosity after monstrosity," I sighed dejectedly, remembering my past failures.

Brendan smiled at me, "That's because you've focused so much on that physical aspect that you've forgotten that the magical part also exists, sister Elaria. What you need to do is to inject the person's Elemental Quark into your serum and you should already be able to create the perfect serum for said person's ascension."

I blinked at him, "But I don't have a Cultivation Point."

He shook his head, "You don't, but there are still Elemental Quarks inside of you, you just need to infuse it with your serum and that's it."

"That easy?"

"You are a genius, sister Elaria, you were just missing something you aren't familiar with. It was the same with me as well."

"Then that means… I can ascend… Like right now?"

"Once you isolate and inject your Elemental Quark into a serum, yes."

"Is it really that simple?"

He nodded again, "In fact, the isolation of your Elemental Quark might even be the most difficult part which isn't that hard anyway. At least not with someone familiar with such things guiding you."

Hell yes!! Wait for me, Onii-sama! Your cute imouto Goddess is going to come and ask for headpats soon!
