283 Daniels Ruse (1/2)
...Kind regards, Daniel the Outcast.
The result to Daniel's actions, sent the population of the entire city into an uproar.
At first, anyone who had managed to get into the possession of one of the recipes, immediately hid it.. But right as the voice about the content of these sheets of paper began to spread.. That was when blood started to flow.
People who only minutes earlier were talking cordially to each other, had now unsheathed their weapons, and were fight over these unordinary pieces of paper. The smartest ones, retreated into the territory of their factions, and reported the matter to their connections within the faction.
Of the hundreds of factions that had a foothold on the asteroid, only a few had managed to obtain one of the recipes.. And no matter how many people tried to, they would defend their recipe to their death. It wasn't sure how many factions would manage to obtain it, but only was thing was certain.. There weren't enough recipes for each faction.
Within a minute after the appearance of these sheets of paper, multiple portals were opened in the sky, and the territories of the various factions from which elite members appeared. After learning what the matter was from their direct underlings, these elite warriors would immediately call for reinforcements.
Ten minutes after the odd event took place, multiple fighters of each of the factions, both in possession of he recipes and not, had appeared in the city.. There were even a couple of recipes that ended up being auctioned in the venues which happened to be hosting an auction at the very moment that Daniel had divulged one of his secret recipes.
Within an hour, the event was growing out of proportion, and the battle that was about to take place was beyond what the relatively large asteroid could hope to withstand. Insults, demands, and threats were thrown from one elite member to another, and the situation was quickly getting out of hand.
In the end, the intervention of multiple Judges had been required, who decided that since there were still hundreds of recipes that were circulating the streets, and that the recipe was not a secret worth waging war for anymore, all of the factions were to share the recipe.
Despite a few complaints from the parties in possession of the recipes, after a few heavy punishment were ensued as warning, everyone had no choice but to swallow the pill, and accept that that day was not one where their faction would gain an advantage over most of the others, but a day where all factions would gain an equal level of advantage at the same time.
In order for peace to reign again within the city on the asteroid, took a full day.. And only after all of the emissaries went back to their territories equally happy about their gains. Naturally, their happiness was not comparable to the one they felt after testing the recipe.
Daniel wanted everyone to possess the true recipe of the Mid Level Partial Poison Immunity Pill, so he had written a specific description on how to produce it, and how to consume it without dying.. Including the fact that under a certain level of power, in order to survive the toxicity of the pill, one needed to be affected by a mid tier poison at the very least, so that the pill would focus on fighting against the already present poison instead of destroying the body of the person.
After the numerous groups and factions were able to test the validity of the pills, they became elated by the gift that they had received.. Unfortunately, the happiness they felt quickly died out, and realization kicked in.
The first point which the factions had realized the importance of, was that there was a higher level pill that could soon be bought, but of which Daniel had offered no specific detail. They did not know who to make their offer to, or where to go. All they could do, was to hope that Daniel would make another appearance soon, and clarify that detail for them.
The second and most important point, was the terrifying possibility of the Garden of Death obtaining the formula of the high level poison immunity pill of which Daniel was in possession of.
Suddenly, the reason why the Garden of Death had insisted so much on having the priority on Daniel's capture, was clear to everyone.
Contrary to most factions, for which a poison immunity was nothing but a valuable commodity, the same was not for the Garden of Death. Their way of producing elite members was based on the tier of poison they were able to withstand, and the low rate of success had always been a natural way to even the fact that the elite members of the Garden of Death were extremely dangerous individuals.
On the other hand, if they did manage to obtain a high level poison immunity pill, they would be able to dish out one high level elite after the other, and in a matter of days, they would go from being one of the numerically weakest factions, to the strongest one..
That, could not be allowed to happen.

”Hahaha! You should have seen their faces!” Said Xargy after bursting out in laughs. He was able to witness the events from a distance much further away than Daniel and Aeron could, and therefore, he was able to see the chaos that had developed within the city just minutes after Daniel's actions.
Daniel ignored Xargy's crazed state, and instead asked ”How many factions?” He was looking through a window from outside of a small house, and at the kid that was currently sleeping in the bed placed inside it. They were dashing through space, in wait for events to unfurl.
”You are such a buzzkiller.. I could smell about two thousands.. And before you ask, around a tenth of those tried to trace us, but.. Well, we haven't been caught yet. Leaving by ship was a good idea, they will have to spend days searching them for us.. hehe” Responded Xargy with a slightly hurt, and yet recovering enjoyment.
”Good.. let's hope they will take the hint.”

Planet Venom.
”HE DID WHAT?! THAT LITTLE BASTARD!!!!!” Shouted the distinct middle aged man while forcing a wave of purple poison to wash over the entire room, and melt everything to which it came in contact with.. Including the messenger that had come to rely the terrible news.
