Almighty Alchemist

On the sacrificial temple, the great alchemist Electra is telling his own story.

"That happened when I was eighteen years old. At that time, I was still a little soul mage, wandering in the era of frequent wars. At that time, due to the limitation of my talent, I didn't have much development prospects in this area. This made me very at a loss."

"I don't know what to do or where to go. There was a time when I even thought about committing suicide. I don't know if this is the reason for my long-term contact with soul spells, but I know that it really made my will become depressed."

"It was an era when alchemy was prevalent. People were crazily catching all kinds of monsters and using their materials to make various alchemy props. Out of a temporary interest, I also learned something about this aspect. I found that alchemy requires far more interest than talent, so I decided to formally learn to become an alchemist. In order to solve the problem of lack of raw materials, I went deep into the jungle with monster hunters more than once to hunt monsters and obtain materials. Until one day, we met a terrible wild war ape. A powerful force, chasing and killing us all the way..."

"We were chased by that war ape all the way to the deepest part of the Land of God's Favor. My partners died one by one, and finally I was left. At the most desperate moment, I found a teleportation circle. I don't know where that thing leads to, but at the critical moment of life and death, I can no longer think about all this. I drilled in, and then, I came to that strange continent..."

"You know what happened next. I discovered the temple, knew everything that happened there, and learned that there is a terrible enemy watching in the human world. I chose the gate of alchemy and obtained the inheritance there. But I was very disappointed to find that the alchemy of the Western Continent is not as great as I imagined. They don't have many great inventions, but only have excellent research on a theoretical basis."

"This made me regret. You know that people are always greedy. I regret why I didn't choose the Gate of Magic. It's a pity that I can no longer make a choice. It was at that time that I had a whim."

"I think...the three doors left by Elder Cripwell require that the same person cannot enter. But we all know that any rule has loopholes. In Cripwell's design, the biggest basis for judging whether the three people are not the same person is the change in soul energy."

"In other words, if I can change my soul energy so that the design left by Cripwell thinks that I am not Electra, then I can enter the gate of magic, and even enter the gate of battle qi."

"So I started researching how to change the soul."

"We must be thankful that it was a very difficult process. Inventing a spell requires a long period of exploration and repeated experiments until the most reasonable method is found. Fortunately, changing the soul of others may be very difficult, but changing your own is not necessarily so difficult. After a long period of hard work, I finally succeeded. I invented a very unique spell, which I call...Soul splitting."

"Yes, soul splitting, that is my unique invention. This spell does not have any offensive properties, but it has a terrifying characteristic. It can occupy the body of others. Although I regret to find that my invention cannot change the essence of the soul, nor allow me to enter any other gate in the Western Continent, but it allows me to see a new direction in the study of alchemy..."

"I use my split soul as an assistant to study alchemy together."

Speaking of this, Electra smiled and looked at Xiu Yi: "You...understand."

Xiu Yi was already dumbfounded.

"You mean..."

"Yes, split one's soul, cultivate them to grow, form another self, then split again, cultivate again, repeat, never-ending. Electra is not one person, but a group of people. Everyone is Electra. Everyone has the civilization inheritance of alchemy from the Western Continent and has the most solid theoretical foundation. We research together and use the same thinking; we work together and use the same way of thinking; we create and invent together, under the same sky; That part, the most perfect cooperation, without saying a word, what I think, other people will know immediately. Some people are in charge of researching puppets, some are in charge of researching potions, some are in charge of researching props, and some are in charge of researching magic circles. Any one of us has a wonderful idea, and it will be recorded in the notebook immediately, so our notes will always be messy, often with various contents mixed together, because it is not written by one person, but shared by many people. But we don’t worry about not understanding our records, because we are all one person with the same thinking Ways to consider different problems. With various discoveries, our understanding of alchemy continues to grow, and this knowledge can also be passed on to others through division and information transmission, so that countless I will always be in the best state... Later, we only need to consider resource issues, endless resources. We collect it, use it, consume it, and realize it..."

Huey stared blankly at Electra, which sounded crazy.

It's like a scientist keeps replicating himself in order to save research time, creating hundreds or thousands of clones for joint research. And with the deepening of the research, the split souls became more and more knowledgeable, and in the end, hundreds of Einstein-level figures were carrying out a highly effective division of labor and cooperation...

What they see and what they face are all themselves. Old, young, beautiful, ugly, Electra is like a lunatic, after inventing the soul splitting spell, he desperately splits the soul to expand his own laboratory.

"There is even a group of us who are responsible for practicing spells. When we practice to a certain level, we will choose to use the method of sacrificing ourselves and give all the magic power to one of them, so that the power of one of them will be greatly improved... So I quickly became a sanctuary and invented countless alchemy techniques that are not bad. I realized that I don't need to rely on anyone anymore. I can do everything by myself."

Xiuyi exclaimed: "Oh, my God, I used to wonder, maybe you have enough intelligence to research those alchemy techniques, but what makes you able to produce them? It is also a very energy-consuming and time-consuming job, but now I understand."

"Yes, my avatar is also in charge of production. I have too many avatars, each of which has my wisdom, my knowledge, and more importantly, the same ideals and is willing to fight for a common goal. I no longer care about the inheritance of the Western Continent, I only need to care about my own research. Of course, considering the possible threat from the Demon Realm, and in order to meet the needs of my various huge experiments, I have to try my best to develop some powerful tools of war to fight for territory and resources for me... On the issue of resources... , I am actually a sinner of history. I invented something that others failed to invent for hundreds of years, and I also destroyed most of the world's resources by myself."

"So you don't have a student, because you don't need it. As long as you want, you can transfer your soul to a young body continuously, and obtain eternal life in this way."

"No." A trace of compassion flashed in Electra's eyes: "The soul also has a lifespan. Nothing in this world is truly eternal, and the energy is the same. They will dissipate, and will completely perish in the world. Unlike human life, the dissipation of soul energy takes a long time. If you don't consider the lifespan of the human body itself, it can last about a thousand years. But the premise is that you can't split it. Splitting...is a kind of consumption of energy. Just like a biscuit, if you break it in half, it will definitely last There's going to be some dross falling."

"So how many selves have you split?"

Electra shrugged, it seemed a bit funny that this action appeared on a beautiful woman: "Honestly... I don't remember clearly either. I only know that my soul energy became weaker and weaker with the continuous splitting. Although I was already a sanctuary mage at that time, my own soul energy could no longer withstand the repeated toss. Fortunately, at that time, I hadn't forgotten the important task on my shoulders - to save the human world and fight against the invasion of the demon world. Alchemy research. But considering the damage I caused to this world, I feel that I need to make some remedial measures. Of course, on the other hand, I am also very interested in the resources of the abyss. So I made a major decision... to go to the abyss."

"There, I got a lot of new resources and researched a lot of new alchemy, including the troll god, which was completed at that time. Didn't the Hines you mentioned always regret why he couldn't perfectly reproduce the troll god? The reason is very simple, that thing needs some materials from the abyss to make."

"In order to ensure that I can freely enter and exit the abyss and the human world, I have captured some powerful abyssal creatures to guard the gates of time and space for me. The magic dragon Rita you mentioned is one of them. As for the laboratories scattered all over the place... In fact, they were only established by the avatars I sent out. After all, I don't want to be like locusts, scraping every bit of resources in this area every time I go. So I dispersed myself and established laboratories everywhere."

"It turned out that those laboratories were not established by the same person."

"It can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not. After all, they all come from the same soul, so generally speaking, there will not be much difference in the habits of doing things. The difference is only in different achievements. Different clones are responsible for researching in different directions, thus producing different results. Of course, in order to prevent others from knowing this, we never show up at the same time. In most cases, we only let one of them appear in the public eye.

"So...you are just one of the clones?"

"Yes, it's just one of them." Electra laughed.

"And the other... the other you?"

Electra sighed: "After we went to the abyss, we encountered some very powerful enemies there. I realized that I had to establish a position of my own in the abyss to fight against the abyss. So all of me rushed to the abyss together, where the army of death fought a big battle. Many of me died in that battle, but we finally stood firm. Considering that the human world cannot give up because of this, I decided to send one of me back to the human world to continue my own development."

"But you never appeared again."

"Yes, the me who was sent back is the me you see now. Due to an accident, I can no longer be split. I am trapped in this body, and I can't even communicate with other me. I have been sleeping here for three hundred years. Don't ask me about what happened in the abyss, because I don't know what happened after that."

"So how did you get stuck here?"

"Ah, this matter is also a long story. Or let Galadia explain it to you. I think you must be very interested in knowing how the former temple guardian Bathgate fell. Because it has a very important connection with what happened to you today."

"What happened to me today?"

"That's right." Electra said softly: "Before answering your question, you have to answer my question first. Tell me, Hugh Iglell, what exactly is that dream you saw?"

At this moment, her voice suddenly changed, and she once again turned into a body dominated by Galadia himself.

———————————————

"What did you say?!" A shocking roar erupted from the top of the holy mountain of Michael.

"Sorry, I can't marry you." Simone replied softly.

Bathgate stared at Simone, never dreaming that he would get such an answer.

After the initial shock, Simone has calmed down a lot.

She realized at last what a ridiculous mistake she had made-she should have let Bathgate know that she didn't love her at all.

It was her delay and hesitation that led to Bathgate's misunderstanding.

So she couldn't put it off any longer.

She had to face it, she had to bring Bathgate to his senses.

Perhaps in Bathgate's view, he who discovered Simone's biggest secret, who has been protecting Simone, and who is admired by thousands of people, has no possibility of being rejected by Simone.

It hadn't even occurred to him that Simone would say the no to him.

No matter how talented or outstanding he is, he is still young and has the unique conceit of a young man.

So much so that he completely neglected to understand Simone's heart.

He doesn't know how to court girls, and in fact he's never courted any women, and it's always been the beautiful women who have offered him love. He has powerful soul spells, which can affect a person's will, but he cannot understand a person's inner emotions.

That is something that even magic cannot understand and master.

And now, that answer hit Bathgate hard.

This may be his biggest defeat since his debut.

"Why?" He stared dead at Simone.

"Because... I have someone I love. Even if I can't be with him now, I don't want to betray him. I'm sorry, Lord Bathgate, all these years, you have taken care of me, kept me from being bullied by those people, and protected me from any harm. But I can't cheat my heart...I never fell in love with you."

Simone knelt before Bathgate.

Her expression was very calm, and after she said these words, she knew what kind of terrible consequences she was about to encounter.

Bathgate looked at her coldly, and she could even feel the anger in his eyes.

"Aww!!!"

Bathgate suddenly howled loudly into the sky.

On his body, a lot of grudge and magic light burst out.

The beams of light of these two forces are like two giant dragons overtaking each other, soaring straight into the sky.

At one end of the temple, countless people looked at the sky in horror, not understanding what happened.

Bathgate's voice boomed: "Galadea! You deceived me and hurt me. My love for you is like the sun in the sky, unstoppable, but your heart is as cold as ice! I was wrong, you have never changed, and you are not anyone! You are still you! Galadia, cruel, cold, ruthless, and playing with people's hearts! If you really don't love me, you should tell me earlier, instead of mocking me in this way at this time!"

Bathgate's face became hideous and terrible: "I don't believe you can fall in love with anyone! In this temple, who else can you fall in love with except me? Could it be those old men? No! You are a devil who plays with people's hearts!"

"I was wrong, I thought you were the only one I could protect, but you are not worthy at all!"

Bathgate cried out loudly.

The dual powers of magic and battle qi complement each other at this moment, reflecting the most brilliant splendor.

Simone replied tremblingly: "Master Bathgate, maybe you have never loved me. Maybe you have always liked Galadia, but you just don't know it."

"Nonsense!" cried Bathgate wildly.

The power in his body was more closely intertwined, and it was no longer clear which part was fighting spirit and which part was magic power.

The elders of the temple were stunned by this scene, and murmured: "This is... this is a manifestation of the extreme burning of magic power. My God, Bathgate, what is he going crazy? He is committing suicide by doing this!"

That's right.

Bathgate was indeed in a very dangerous state now.

Simone's refusal put him in a state of extreme rage. He had been going smoothly for a long time, and no one dared to disobey his will. Although he had a kind heart, it also made him unable to bear the setback of being ignored, especially when the person who ignored him was still his favorite woman.

He was so enraged by it that he would do anything without even thinking about what he was doing.

He tried his best to burn the magical power in his body, because these magical powers were cultivated out of his love for Simone, and now they became the symbol of his drawing water from a bamboo basket. It made him feel resentful. Regardless of the consequences, he frantically mobilized all the strength in his body.

"ah!"

Bathgate raised his head and growled.

The energy in the sky was shining brightly, and the magic power was almost burned by him in an instant.

If it were an ordinary person, just such a huge amount of burning would be enough to cause a magician to die immediately.

But Bathgate didn't.

Instead, he felt new powers being generated in his body.

Those magics... they seem to be transforming.

The part transformed into grudge is regenerated in the body.

"This is..." Bathgate was dizzy.

The extreme stimulation and huge consumption made him unable to bear all this anymore.

He swayed a few times, then fell to the ground with a thud.

Simone stared blankly at the unconscious Bathgate, not knowing what to do.

A large number of people in the temple came running, and they saw all this, and no one knew what happened.

"Lord Bathgate, his soul energy is gone!" someone shouted.

Suddenly there was a rumbling thunder in the sky.

A huge black shadow covered the entire sky of Mount Mikal.

A huge roar shocked the world: "Who is it! Disturbed my slumber, broke into my dreamland!"
