Bayluk

**Bayluk** was once a member of Arthia and was their lead member and researcher in the field of Poison and Alchemy. Bayluk like all member of Arthia betrayed Arthia, he single-handedly planned Arthia's downfall along side Viera Dune and he gained the most from Arthia's downfall according to Valdebich through a note after Cha Jeong-woo's death, he also helped Veira Dune become a god.

## Personality

Bayluk was shown to be intelligent, brilliant and tactical during his time in Arthia, having stood out as one of the major contributors to Arthia's overall power thanks to his intelligence and skill in Alchemy being one of the cornerstones to the clan's rise to power. Bayluk himself was noted to be one of the more quite and loner members of the clan, being noted to primarily spend a vast majority of his time in his lab doing research.

In the past, Bayluk was shown to have at least have had a friendly relationship with his clan mates, this is seen where he would regularly interact with them in a friendly manner from within Arthia's clan house. Bayluk in particular was greatly annoyed by his clanmates meddling with his laboratory and chemicals and would scold them when they touched his research materials, albeit in a friendly manner.

However, beneath his friendly demeanor, Bayluk was shown to have had a deep, obsessive and maniacal obsession to uncover the and complete a "[Divine Human]", a mortal who possess the powers of a transcendent being and uncover its secrets through any means possible. This is seen where a majority of his research, even back then in Arthia, was made for the sole purpose of this goal. In fact, it has been hinted that Bayluk himself solely joined Arthia due to wanting to study the Player that he had guessed had the potential to become a Divine Human;Cha Jeong-woo.

Later it would be revealed that Bayluk himself betrayed and poisoned Jeong-woo after years of closely observing him and gathering his genetic material, was in order to weaken him enough to capture alive for his experiments. Although fully expecting him to be weakened enough to easily overpower, Bayluk himself would be later shocked to see how powerful Jeong-woo was despite having been poisoned with enough poison to kill a full grown dragon.

After taking over Elohim and being crowned as one of the "New Nine Kings", Bayluk was shown to have become considerably arrogant, especially after reuniting with "Jeong-woo" and revealing his Homunculus clones of "him". It is apparent that Bayluk has not figured out that "Jeong-woo" is in fact the latter's older twin brother.

## History

The alchemist of poison and one of the best toxicologists within the Tower, and he had a poisonous air around him that could get someone sick just by walking next to him. One breath of his could kill an entire tree. Bayluk was once one of Jeong-woo closest allies and was the member that made a major contributions to the Clan's rise to power. Through studying the corpses and bodies of many different monsters, Bayluk had successfully synthesized a formula that greatly boosts the evolution and potential of a Ranker. Bayluk was also known to have developed several strength potions after his teammates gathered Hidden Pieces and other ingredients for him as they progresses through the floors. This combined with his other formula's and concoction potions, effectively gave each and every member of Arthia a monstrous boost in their development and increased their inborn potential growth that guaranteed their evolution into High Rankers.

Although unknown why, Bayluk had chosen to switch side from Jeong-woo and Arthia during the war.

Bayluk had created the extreme poison (Red Lotus Eye poison) that ate away at his brother’s body until the end. It was also Bayluk who pierced his heart and killed players who wanted to help him. Leonte and Bahal had rebelled with other forces, but Bayluk and Vieira Dune had the biggest hand in bringing his brother down.

After Arthia's fall, Bayluk's location and activities were unknown to the majority of the Obelisk. However, it can be guessed that he was once operating in the Cannibal Monster Human Island acquired for him by Arthia in the 27th Floor before seemingly abandoning it.

Later after "Heaven Wing's" "Revival", Bayluk was shown to have now repapered in Elohim due to having been invited by them to join them in order to help assist them in fulfilling their long time goal of reviving the "Superior Races" that they cherish with his skills.

## Abilities

As a Member of Arthia, Bayluk was stated to be exceptionally talented with a lot of natural potential and managed to reach the level of power of a High Ranker rapidly.

However, it has been stated that Bayluk's power and abilities are purely focused on his skills as a researcher. With his overall physical abilities being comparable only to that of an average ranker. As such his physical strength, speed and reaction time is inferior in comparison to fighters such as Cain.

### Alchemy

Bayluk was stated to be an exceptionally talented alchemist and researcher, with him having been stated to be in charge of Arthia's alchemical research and had successfully created several alchemical potions and concoction that drastically increased the development of each of the members power levels and abilities and increased their innate potential that made it possible for them to easily reach the level of High Rankers.

Some of Bayluk's creations are;

* **Monster Potion:** After analyzing the blood enzymes of various monsters, Bayluk was able to create a powerful alchemical concoction that drastically increased and boosted the development of any Ranker that ingests it using the various Hidden Pieces collected by Arthia. With this concoction being one of the prime factors to Arthia's rise to power due to it skyrocketing each members power development.
* **Godly Human Potions:** Through his research, Bayluk managed to create a five potion elixir that transforms whoever ingests it into a Godly Human and grant them immense holy power. However, if the potions were not ingested in the proper,color coordinated order, the potions would instead create a powerful poison that would slowly eat away at the drinker
* **Poisons:** However despite his immense talent in Alchemy, his talent in this field is considered nothing more than a sub skill to his true skill and talent of being a poisoner. Bayluk was stated to be one of the most dangerous and skilled poison makers in the entire Tower and was stated to have obtained or created some of the most dangerous and lethal poisons in the the Tower and his skills were deemed to legendary.
	+ **Red Lotus Poison:**An extremely powerful poison that was capable of eating away at a Dragon Human's body. As seen where he used it on Jeong-woo, if administered in small doses, the poison itself could be subtly used to gradually and stealthily poison someone. This is seen where Bayluk had slowly administered the poison to Jeong-woo during the war against the Top Clan alliance and the symptoms of the poison did not become evident until it was already too late and had already festered itself into his bone marrow. The poison was known to adversely affect the physical body and even affect the brain of the victims, with the poison adversely affecting Jeong-woo's mood and was stated to have worsened his mental state along with his growing sense of paranoia due to the numerous betrayals during the war.
	+ **Spirit Powder Poison**: After resurfacing it was revealed that Bayluk had created a very powerful poison that could affect even undead like Hanryeong, a Death Noble, who was born from death and his body was made out of shadow. The poison would eat away at the shadowy undead body and break it down to particulars. This poison was so potent to the point that even the black energy from the soul collection could not heal its effect only slow it, which gives the indication that it can fight off the power of the Black King. It would later be revealed that the poison itself was a by product of Bayluk's research into Godly Humans.

### Genetic/Biological Engineering

Bayluk was also noted to have been a exceptionally skilled biologist and geneticist, with him having been personally been invited by Elohim into their clan in order to assist them in reviving the "Superior Races" of transcendent beings (Half Gods/Fallen Gods,Dragons and Half-Demons). Whose bloodlines have become weakened and diluted due to the centuries of diverse breeding in lower floors and have gradually lost the inherited power from their transcendent ancestors.

* **Homunculus Clone Production**: Bayluk's alchemy allowed him to create homunculus and using DNA he extracted from targets such as Jeong-woo, he created multiple clones of him with this technology. These homunculus clones were able to replicate the strength and abilities of the sourced DNA. As seen during his confrontation against the revived "Heaven Wing", Bayluk was able to successfully create up to 9 Homunculus Clones of Cha Jeong-woo that successfully copied up to 70% to 80% of Jeong-woo's blessings, graces and skills during his peak. However it could be noted that each of the clones lack any form of thought process, personality or emotion and the clones themselves had very short lifespans ranging to only a few years, essentially making them to be nothing more than glorified war machines. The knowledge to create these clones themselves were stated to have been obtained by Bayluk after making a deal with an Outer God, Crawling Chaos and using Fragments of its Gray Matter as material to create the clones. Bayluk himself created a highly complicated magical system algorithm in the clones minds that causes them to be loyal to whoever they have been programed as their "master" and follow their orders without fail, the system of the magic itself was stated to be so complicated and advanced, Yeon-woo and Braham themselves doubted that Elohim, Bayluk's patrons, truly understood the system.
	+ **Sky Wings:** Bayluk's Homunculus Clones were shown to have successfully replicated even Jeong-woo's signature "[Heaven Wing]" skill.
		- **Spirit Powder Poison Wings:** Bayluk's was shown to have successfully combined his poison expertise with Jeong-woo's Heaven Wings, successfully merging the clones wing's with several kinds of different poisons. The Wings power themselves can be empowered further by squeezing out the already short lifespans of the clones to further strengthen the wings.
			* **Wave of Spirit Powder Poison:** A variation of Jeong-woo's "[Wave of Light]" Skill that allows the clones to release a blitz of light bombs that have been mixed together with poison, a concentrated blast of this attack was shown to be powerful enough to level 4/5's of the outer district city and the poison gives the added effect of melting everything within the radius of the explosions.
* **Divine Species:** Bayluk was later shown to have successfully created and produced several Semi-Divine Species using Elohim'S Resources, History and Divine Bloodlines. This is seen where he successfully created Lions with Wings, Griffins, Leviathans, Hoop Snakes and even Giants.
	+ **Ancient Species Restoration:** A skill he helped create and gave to the members of Elohim's Council of Elder that allows them to successfully transform into monsters thought to have been long extinct by using their inherited Holy Power and Divine Factors from their ancestors and Bayluk's research. These monsters themselves are stated to have been Semi-Divine and thus possessed immense power, this is seen where some of the Elders were shown to transform into Lions with Wings, Griffins and Leviathans.

### Outer God Knowledge

Bayluk was shown to have successfully made a deal with the Outer God, Crawling Chaos, successfully gaining immense power and knowledge from the Outer God and gaining the magical knowledge from a universe outside of our own.

* **Outer God Transformation:** Later Bayluk later showcased that he actually possessed a connection to the Outer God and could channel power from it, transforming himself into a shadowy tentacle like creature by directly channeling the God through him.
	+ **Immortality:** Bayluk was stated to have obtained a level of immortality through his connection to the Outer God. This is seen where he was able to instantly regenerate any of the extensive damages done to his body during his fight against Yeon-woo.
	+ **Otherworldly Magics:** Bayluk was also able to gain immense knowledge and Otherworldly Magic from the Outer God. This knowledge being the secret as to how he managed to learn to create Homunculus Clones of Dragons and other Transcendent Races, as seen where he was able to create clone replica's of Jeong-woo that was able to replicate 70-80% of his power. Bayluk was also able to create a complex Magic Programing into the minds of the Homunculus Clones of Jeong-woo that causes them to have little to no independent thoughts and feelings and caused them to be completely loyal to whoever they have been programmed to be their "Master". As noted by Boo, the Magic system itself was similar to magics found within the "*Wood of N’gai*", one of the few recorded Otherworldly locations.

### Skills

* **Poison Blood:** Bayluk was stated to have acquired the skill of allowing his body to passively produce and create powerful poison in trace amount in his heart and through his blood veins. This in turn allowed him to release highly poisonous and lethal air born poison in his surroundings when he is injured.
