People in ooo: I, the forbidden alchemist

Chapter 32

... The atmosphere between Eji and Ankh is very delicate!

“Ankh... It's okay. "

Eiji put his hand on Ankh's shoulder, trying to comfort him as he lost face.

"Fuck off...!".

Ankh was furious, and shook off Eji's hand.

In front of the stupid humans who are regarded as "coin collection tools", he showed this embarrassed posture!

In order not to be seen more about his past by Eji, Ankh sped up the process.

Due to the special treatment given to Ankh and Eji by the alchemist Gera, Ankh was made in turn successful, making them exceptionally smooth.

In a ghostly state, it is almost in history that you can travel and witness the past at will.

Luo Nian borrowed Ankh's core coin from OOO on the grounds of "researching how to replicate unique core coins".

OOO is also quite satisfied with the genius alchemist's whimsy, much better than other alchemists who only create little tricks to please him.

Even if the alchemist was going to betray him one day, he wouldn't mind.

- Respect any desire!

And Luo Nian's research room used as an alchemist-

"What the hell is going to be...?!".

"Do you really have to refine the Sage's Stone?"

"It's a pity that Gella is no longer there, and his soul value is not bad. "

A heavy sigh came out of the alchemist's mouth.

He was out for the time being, and it seemed that he was planning to use the lowly synth beast and the soul of Greeed, who had a certain level of intelligence, to refine the Philosopher's Stone!

Ankh and Eji remain in the research room.

"Sure enough, this guy has a plan for the Philosopher's Stone for a long time, using those high-value coins refined from Greeed and monsters should be just a backup plan, the next best option, but... What exactly happened that caused him to abandon his idea of the Philosopher's Stone?".

Driven by intense curiosity, Ankh flipped through the alchemist's manuscript notes.

In order to avoid leakage, alchemists usually do not take notes in words that anyone can understand, but instead have their own set of logic.

Under normal circumstances, only the person can understand it.

Fortunately, Ankh knew the alchemist well enough to read what he thought was crucial from the manuscript notes

"I see, it's not a copy of my core coins at all, those three coins were obtained by him with the half-finished product of the Philosopher's Stone?!".

"What happened?".

Ankh sorted out the logic a little, and he discovered the alchemist's alchemy plan from the manuscript, and now, Luo Nian has not yet begun to implement it.

There is still a chance to see it.

“... Use your soul to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and use "desire" as the source of power for the Philosopher's Stone?".

"Wait a minute, this guy's idea is that as long as you have desire, you can get anything?!".

It's a wonderful idea, and it's tantamount to – you get what you want!

"The Wizard, the Philosopher's Stone, needs mana, and in this logic, desire is equivalent to magic ......."

“Wizard？"

Ankh didn't understand what it was, but he could roughly understand that it seemed to be a reference for Luo Nian.

"Consume desire...?".

"Ah——! I see!" Eiji, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly shouted and said with a smile: "Ankh, you said, the Philosopher's Stone is equivalent to the coin money of the human world, as long as you have that thing, you can buy it casually, so, the alchemist's idea is to convert desire into money, and consuming desire is money consumption, right?"

"Hmph. Ankh glanced at Eji, "Almost." "

"But, it's weird... If there is nothing wrong with his logical theory, why didn't he refine the Sage's Stone after that?".

After Luo Nian was resurrected, he was not seen to have the Philosopher's Stone.

As if in response to Ankh's anticipation and confusion, time sped up.

- Luo Nian has obtained a large number of life souls, whether it is a wise Greeed, a synthetic beast, or a human.

In short, he refined the half-finished Philosopher's Stone!

It's a small bottle of red liquid.

He took the coin of desire from himself and threw it into the bottle.

"Eagle, peacock, vulture, three bird-based core coins - refined!".

Hands clasped together, the light bloomed, and three core coins were born from the bottle!

"Sure enough, it's not copied, it's the Philosopher's Stone!

In the next moment-

The liquid in the bottle is boiling wildly!

From Luo Nian's body, a large number of desire coins were scattered!

Just as the alchemist Gela will get coins after satisfying human desires, what falls from Luo Nian's body is the coins that contain his desires!

"The Philosopher's Stone... Extracting all his desires?!".

Ankh's eyes widened in disbelief.

Refining seems to be a failure... The alchemist has suffered a backlash!

"Will there be any consequences for doing this?"

Eiji asked.

"I know why he gave up—".

Ankh said slightly: "Because, this is irreversible, desire is consumed, there will be no regeneration, when the desire is completely consumed, there will be no desire to usher in the end of life." "

The next scene——

The alchemist enters the palace and returns the bird coins to OOO.

And predicted the endgame of OOO.

Immediately after, he sealed himself.

“... There is no desire, no desire, so you seal yourself?".

"Damn! No wonder that guy will steal your desires, it turns out that you don't want to consume your own desires. "

"We need to hurry back to the original time and stop him from refining the Philosopher's Stone!"

At this time, their bodies were solidified, pulled forcefully, and returned to modern times!

"Great——!

Ankh and Eji appeared in the forest.

Reflected in the pupil of the eye.

But it's Gaila, who has been defeated by Luo Nian!
