The One Hundred and Nineteenth Element

Published on 26 October 2026 by Gee

Well… water, fire, air, earth, all that is fine and good. But scientifically speaking, we know that the “elements” are mainly hydrogen, helium, lithium, and so on.

We see an Egyptian temple like the one in The Fifth Element, with a voice exclaiming: “This is the source of our salvation: THE 119TH ELEMENT!”
Father Vito Cornelius shows a small vial to Korben, Ruby Rhod, and David, and says: “Unununnium, atomic number 119, I synthesized it yesterday. I’ve nicknamed it Neenoo, it sounds nicer.”
Korben looks at the vial skeptically and asks : “Umm, but when do I get to sleep with it?” The priest, jaded: “Stop thinking with your dick, Korben, we have more urgent problems.”
View of Earth from space, with a huge fiery planet next to it. We hear the priest say: “To prevent the Evil Planet from colliding with Earth, we must activate each stone by placing the corresponding element on top of it.”
Korben and Ruby Rhod are dumbfounded by the stones arranged in a gigantic periodic table. Korben asks, “All 119 ELEMENTS?!” Ruby: “Not green!”
