The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 838 Beelzebub Walks into a Trap

Stealing bloodlines is a troublesome matter. More precisely, stealing the bloodlines of the Abyss Titans is a troublesome matter.

As a key to unlock the gates of supreme authority in the abyss, the bloodline of the Abyss Titan is not something that can be simply released into one's body with a single drop of blood.

If anyone dares to do this, the only option awaiting them is to be twisted into a monster.

Even the ruler must divide the infected flesh and blood.

The Abyss World, beneath the Eastern Swamp.

Beelzebub stood in his laboratory, his eyes greedily fixed on the dark red blood before him.

The air in this laboratory is clean and the environment is tidy. Apart from the virus garden, there isn't even a single bacterium in the entire laboratory.

It's hard to imagine that such a laboratory would be built beneath a filthy, foul-smelling swamp.

“What a fascinating bloodline,” Beelzebub murmured to himself, gazing at the blood.

This blood was a product of his own growth and differentiation from the flesh and blood that Richard had given him—a trivial matter for a ruler.

If Beelzebub were willing to spend the time and resources, he could even use this bloodline to create a body for Richard.

In the laboratory's collection room, there are countless such items; he even made replicas of Samael's body.

However, being able to create a body and being able to use that body to pass the verification of the abyss are two different things.

Even if Beelzebub created the body of an Abyss Titan, he could not gain access by transferring his soul.

Because to the Abyss, Beelzebub is still the same Beelzebub, only with an additional clone.

Even if he destroys his own body, this new body will still be a clone.

Because Richard did not give Beelzebub his blood, the Abyss Titan body he created was essentially an activated code that had already been activated, and it was completely impossible to activate it again.

To steal the bloodline of the Abyss Titans, Beelzebub must integrate that bloodline into his own body and merge it with his own bloodline.

This is equivalent to the sudden birth of a new Abyss Titan.

Undoubtedly, this method of theft was extremely difficult. It took Richard hundreds of years to integrate the bloodlines.

But that's for a level six creature.

Beelzebub was a master of spiritual evolution who broke through the limits of his abilities. Even though Richard beat him up because of his limited authority, his talent cannot be denied.

For Richard during the Sixth Ring era, integrating bloodlines would be an extremely slow process.

But for Beelzebub, once he was prepared, integrating bloodlines was as simple as putting an elephant in a refrigerator.

Beelzebub casually waved his hand, and the blood suspended in the air was enveloped in a layer of resin-like liquid, turning into a piece of amber and putting it away.

Although he will be the Abyss Titan from today onwards, this blood is worthless to him.

But the significance of this drop of blood is no longer its practical use, but rather the meaning it represents.

It is a monument to Beelzebub's ascent to the abyss and supreme authority.

Beelzebub casually waved his hand, creating a spatial rift. He rummaged around inside with his large, fat hand, and quickly pulled out a clump of dark red liquid that resembled tar.

This is the Abyss Titan Bloodline matrix he created during the year he waited for Samael's return.

With this bloodline matrix, even a great wizard could create Richard's body—provided he could withstand the Dominator's pressure.

However, Beelzebub did not rush to steal the bloodline.

He knew that Richard had given him his own flesh and blood so that he would steal his bloodline.

So before he could steal it, he had to make sure Richard was really dead.

His eyes were fixed on the center of the world. As a veteran Overlord, although he didn't have the same level of authority as these Overlord-level Abyss Titans, in terms of practical application, he was far superior to Richard and Taral Peak.

Through the power of the abyss, Beelzebub clearly saw that Richard's body was recovering. The soul within his body was also incredibly calm, as if he were asleep.

"Hehe, wizard, you've gone too far. You didn't expect to be knocked into a deep sleep by Samael, did you?"

Beelzebub let out a wicked laugh, and the gaping maw in his abdomen suddenly opened, swallowing the mass of matrix into it.

Immediately afterwards, countless abyssal runes appeared on his body. Small mouths also appeared on his skin, chanting abyssal prayers as if reciting scriptures.

Under the influence of the Abyss Spell, Beelzebub was enveloped in an evolutionary field that was different from the Abyss Evolutionary Field and Life Editing.

Under the influence of the evolutionary force field, the life information in the blood matrix evenly invaded every cell of Beelzebub.

Under the influence of the evolutionary field, the life core within the cell combines with this life information and then begins to break down and recombine.

The integration that Richard would have taken hundreds of years to complete even with the help of the earth's veins in the Sixth Ring was proceeding at a visible speed in Beelzebub's case.

At this rate of development, the integration will be completed in just twelve hours.

At that time, the Abyss will welcome its third Overlord-level Abyss Titan.

……

At the center of the Abyss World.

Richard's consciousness observes his own body from a third-person perspective.

He watched his bones remodel and his muscles reorganize. He watched new organs grow in his abdominal cavity and nerves take root and sprout in his flesh.

This was a very novel experience and a very good lesson.

Although Richard had a very complete understanding of his own body, he had far too little time to explore it.

Knowledge takes time to accumulate.

The reshaping of his body gave Richard a deeper understanding of his own physique. While this didn't significantly improve his combat abilities, it greatly enhanced his alchemy skills.

The fastest way for an alchemist to improve is to imitate the works of masters and study their designs.

Richard's Titan body is a culmination of the wisdom of countless sages of the Titan civilization, a master among masters.

But as Richard observed, his soul suddenly sensed a draw. Someone was using the will of the abyss to summon him.

Richard was slightly taken aback, but then realized that this was the call of the Titan King.

"Has Beelzebub made his move yet? He's really in a hurry."

Richard smiled and shook his head, his soul then connecting with the will of the abyss and entering the archive.

The Titan King sat in his chair as usual, with a projection in front of him showing Richard's body being reconstructed and Beelzebub integrating his bloodlines.

"You've come, come see the show."

King Titan beckoned to Richard, and a chair immediately appeared beside him.

"This little guy has a good idea. Without my help, you really wouldn't be able to handle him."

Richard sat down next to the Titan King, looking at Beelzebub on the projection with some curiosity.

What is he doing?

"Integrate bloodlines and become the new progenitor of the Titans."

"Um!?"

Richard looked astonished and asked, "My bloodline already contains the entire legacy of the Abyss, how can he still integrate it?"

"Hehe, that's what makes him so amazing."

The Titan King looked at Beelzebub with a tone of praise.

"This little guy is exceptionally good at researching bloodlines. Even our biological elder, the great sower from the crystal world, and the life sage of the furnace people only surpassed him in breadth."

In terms of the depth of their research, they are on the same level as this little guy.

We must not underestimate future generations.

Richard was taken aback: "Beelzebub's research is so in-depth? How could his combat strength be so weak?"

Knowledge means combat power; this is a consensus among the vast majority of wizards.

In the Abyss, knowledge should be converted into combat power even faster than that of a wizard.

However, Beelzebub's fighting ability was far from what he should have been capable of.

“Weak?” the Titan King sneered. “Why don’t you try banning his abyssal magic? Banning his abyssal magic is equivalent to banning runes in your wizarding world.”

"A wizard who has undergone spiritual evolution has no runes. Go and fight him."

Richard was speechless; banning the Abyss Spell was indeed a bit too much.

The Titan King continued, "Moreover, while his depth is sufficient, his breadth is far inferior to that of the great researchers of our time. The Abyss Titan is, after all, our ultimate masterpiece, so it's perfectly normal that your bloodline can counter his limited biotechnology."

As he spoke, Beelzebub's body began to deform.

His nonsensical body began to become lean, and his disproportionately small head began to grow larger.

Before long, Beelzebub's appearance had transformed into something resembling an abyss titan.

Seeing this, Richard asked the Titan King, "How about a countermeasure at this time?"

The Titan King waved his hand: "Too early. With me here, even if he becomes an Abyss Titan, you can still counter him."

This little guy's integration is very interesting; you can take a look and learn from it. It's always good to learn more.

With the help of the Abyss's will, Richard could clearly see the entire process of Beelzebub integrating his bloodline. He could observe the changes in his internal structure, the mutations in his cell morphology, and even the changes in his life core.

Beelzebub's numerous reactions, responses, and even choices during this process showed Richard what a seasoned ruler truly meant.

Time passed second by second, and in the blink of an eye, Beelzebub's bloodline integration reached its final stage.

Once he integrates that last piece of life information, he will become the second Abyss Titan in the truest sense.

In other words, he is equivalent to the second ancestor of the Abyss Titan bloodline.

"Alright, it's time to make a move," the Titan King suddenly said. "If we don't act now, we'll be in trouble."

Richard's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and his consciousness immediately left the archives, arriving in a space resembling the ruins of the Forerunner Computation Array.

"Activate administrator privileges and prohibit Beelzebub, the Abyss Overlord, from using Abyss Spells. I need to perform a permission check on him."

【As you wish, Administrator.】

The next moment, Beelzebub, who was integrating the last piece of life information, suddenly trembled.

The abyss runes on his body suddenly stopped functioning at this moment, and the evolutionary force field also disappeared.

"Damn it, that guy's awake!"

Beelzebub's heart trembled, and he was about to disintegrate the bloodline within his body, which was almost fully integrated. But the moment the thought flashed through his mind, an indescribable and terrifying pressure descended upon him.

Under that oppressive force, Beelzebub's mind even went blank.

The disintegration of blood vessels naturally ceased.

The Abyss's will swept over Beelzebub, and a pop-up window appeared in front of Richard.

[Has it been discovered that the Overlord Beelzebub has illegally accessed the system? Should he be punished?]

"Of course, there will be punishment."

Please select the level of punishment.

Richard smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"I choose Level 1 punishment."
