The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 842 The Spirit of the Weapon, the Development of the Titan Legion
Seeing the chains still motionless, Richard's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a murderous intent instantly enveloped the chains.

"If you don't move, I'll destroy you."

Before Richard could finish speaking, the chains started moving instantly, emitting a faint energy fluctuation.

This energy fluctuation transformed into a line of abyssal text in the air.

Don't do it, don't do it.

Richard remained silent, his grip on the chains tightening slightly. The chains could feel the surging power in his hand.

This force could shatter its insignificant consciousness at any moment.

[Master! Master! My master, please forgive this newborn little thing.]

Only when the chains changed their minds did Richard's grip loosen.

"This is your first lesson, Shan Hai."

Yes, yes, my name is Shan Hai. Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me this name.

Having subdued the mountains and seas, Richard began testing the intelligence of this abyssal demon armor.

There is no record of this level of magical equipment intelligence in the Abyss Will. This is not because there is no magical equipment of this level. Beelzebub's staff, which was modified by the World Tree, is on the same level as the Mountain and Sea.

Beelzebub, however, never tested the intelligence of the demon spirit.

The demonic spirits are far too weak for the Overlord to worry about.

After some testing, Richard was surprised to find that this demonic spirit was almost as intelligent as a normal human, equivalent to a highly intelligent life form.

In addition, it is born with the ability to write abyssal script and can use abyssal spells on its body.

However, its existence is strange.

Demonic spirits do not possess souls, but they do possess consciousness, somewhat similar to nightmare creatures in the nightmare world.

"Nightmare creatures...that's interesting."

Richard suddenly recalled the weapon-refining techniques of the Immortal Realm civilization. This alchemy technique, which relies on Daoist script, also has a theory that its top-tier magical artifacts can develop sentience.

When the immortals of the Immortal Realm discover that their magical artifacts have developed consciousness, they often separate a wisp of their soul and merge it into the artifact, transforming it into the artifact's "spirit," much like the spirit of a wizard's tower.

According to the records of the Supreme Sect, magical artifacts possessing spirits can not only be controlled with exquisite precision, but can also defend themselves autonomously, and even be used as a backup plan for the resurrection of immortals.

"Perhaps I can try doing that too."

Richard separated a wisp of his soul, and a spiritual fire suddenly ignited in his hand.

This spirit fire originated from the fire spirit god that Richard had subdued in the past. After Richard conquered it in the Immortal Realm, he placed it in the Taoist Academy to serve as an aid for the werewolves in their research on weapon crafting.

Richard also collected one of his spirit flames for research.

I never expected to need it today.

Faced with the spirit fire, Shan Hai did not show any resistance. After being burned by the spirit fire, it actually felt very comfortable, and its whole body felt warm.

Seeing this, Richard took the opportunity to use the technique of spirit fusion to integrate that wisp of soul into the chains with the help of spiritual fire.

Richard suddenly shuddered the instant his split soul merged into the chains.

The next moment, a spiritual fluctuation emanated from the mountain and sea within the spiritual fire.

【Mountains and Seas greet their master.】

Richard raised an eyebrow and then began a new round of testing.

After this test, Richard was certain that his split soul had merged with the consciousness of Shan Hai.

At this moment, Shan Hai and Richard were essentially one, completely in sync.

In this way, Richard can do whatever he wants Shan Hai to do with just a thought. Even if he falls into a coma, Shan Hai can defend himself on his own.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! This is truly wonderful!" Richard couldn't help but praise. "The Immortal Realm civilization truly lives up to its reputation as a civilization that has unified an entire world community and dares to challenge level nine life forms."

Even if the system is cursed, the remaining parts are still worth learning from.

After marveling at it, Richard immediately recorded the entire process of making the magical armor and the details of fusing the spirits in detail.

The appearance of the artifact spirit was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Richard. It was not just about having an extra artifact spirit; it also represented the birth of a new technological approach.

Abyssal armor will come to life. If these armors can all possess spirits, it would undoubtedly be a major revolution for wizard equipment.

After completing the record, Richard handed the research data to the keeper, who then passed it on to old Abel for experimentation.

Although such technological innovation should theoretically have been driven by the alchemy school, it was, after all, something Richard came up with.

He, a man of the Crown of Miracles, couldn't just hand over his prized possessions to other schools of thought.

After doing all this, Richard returned to the Abyss World and began to tinker with the mountains and seas.

The main function of the Mountain and Sea is still the spell given to him by the Titan King, which is the Abyss Spell that can absorb the power of the Abyss and continuously increase its weight.

However, Richard made a major overhaul of it over the next two years.

He greatly increased the upper limit of this spell and added defensive capabilities.

This turned it into a seemingly useless defensive spell. After transforming it into mountains and seas, its main characteristic is that after absorbing the power of the abyss, the material of the mountains and seas becomes exceptionally heavy and hard, and it ignores the Great Disintegration Spell.

In addition to the main spell, Richard also added many enchantments to the chains for attack purposes.

Such as Soul Shock, Great Disintegration, Flesh Aberration, Barrier Shock...

The main material of the Mountain and Sea is pure ether liquid crystal, which has the property of energy absorption and replication. After absorbing energy, a replica will be generated between the pure ether liquid crystals.

This secondary body has almost the same properties as the main body; as long as there is energy, it can maintain structural stability.

By applying this characteristic to magical armor, magical armor gains the ability to expand infinitely.

Using this property, Richard attached these attack enchantments to both ends of the chains to ensure that they would not interfere with the operation of the abyssal spells when used.

Richard infused his energy, and the mountains and seas quickly spread across his body, transforming into a suit of chain armor.

At the same time, Shan Hai is constantly absorbing the power of the abyss, making himself even heavier.

In just a short while, Richard felt as if he were carrying a small mountain on his back.

But this is far from his limit, and far from the limit of the Abyss Titan.

After undergoing the stress evolution under Samael, his physique has reached 9,500 points.

During those two years, Richard used his spare time to modify Beelzebub's life virus with furnace technology, resulting in more subspecies of the virus.

Thanks to these sub-viruses, Richard's physical condition has reached its limit of 10,000 points in the past two years.

However, this is only the limit of physical constitution, not the limit of the life code system.

Richard's life core is incredibly complex, which means he has enormous evolutionary potential.

He must fully exhaust this evolutionary potential before he is qualified to break through the limit.

Ignoring the increasingly heavy chains binding him, Richard teleported tens of thousands of kilometers away with a thought.

In a vast abyss tens of thousands of kilometers outside the World Tree, a fleshy structure resembling a pyramid is slowly writhing.

Around it, a group of towering Abyss Titans were practicing Titan battle formations under the training grounds of Mount Tarlar.

"Focus! Don't get distracted! Concentrate all your attention!"

Taral Peak's voice was utterly cold. He moved through the ranks, holding a barbed iron whip in his hand. Whenever he found a Titan whose mental energy was not focused, he would lash that Titan's back with a sharp lash.

After the journey, his iron whip was covered with bits of flesh and dark red blood.

However, this kind of education is effective.

Under his supervision, the entire Titan army looked incredibly coordinated, almost like a group of well-wound alchemical puppets.

“It’s already taking shape,” Richard said with a smile as he approached the Tarlar Peak.

Taral Peak shook his head: "They're still far from it. They've only barely learned the 888 basic military formations of the Titans. They haven't learned a single one of the more advanced formations yet."

Moreover, their weapons and equipment have not yet been finalized. Once finalized, the legion will need to make minor adjustments based on the equipment.

Sigh, after being eaten by it for so many years, I've lost a lot of my memories. I've even forgotten how to train properly.

“There’s no need to blame yourself so much,” Richard comforted her. “The new era has its own legions. The news from the front is very good. Under the leadership of the Shaper, the wizards have conquered a civilization-devouring world.”

It doesn't matter if the Titan Legion is a little slower.

Taral Peak sighed helplessly. Although he was reluctant to admit it, the era of the Titans was over.

Because of Richard, the current Abyss Titans are less like Titans and more like a branch of the wizards.

Richard looked toward the distant pyramid of flesh and blood, Beelzebub's masterpiece, a mausoleum of the abyss that could give birth to the Titans of the abyss.

"A veteran ruler is a veteran ruler; his craftsmanship is superb. Even if I had all his knowledge, it would be difficult to create something so exquisite."

Richard could acquire Beelzebub's knowledge, but he could not acquire the experience and way of thinking that Beelzebub had gained from his years of research.

"Have these mother nests spread out yet?" Richard asked, turning his head.

“Not yet,” Taral Peak shook his head. “Beelzebub is still improving this thing. He seems to have made a new discovery while building the Mother Nest.”

He seems to have found a way to conserve resources for training.

Titan's potential is indeed great, but this also means that Titan needs a lot of resources to grow.

Even with the Abyss Evolution Field, the growth of a Titan still requires a large amount of high-grade flesh and blood, as well as various rare alchemical materials.

Obtaining high-grade flesh and blood is easy, but alchemical materials are quite expensive.

“Saving resources? That’s good. But we still need the Four Elements Creation Machine,” Richard sighed.

Every Titan is a money-devouring beast. Even the original Shepherd Titan civilization took the route of elite troops, deploying only a million Titans to each world.

Taral Peak neither confirmed nor denied this, considering the Four Elements Creation Machine to be a standard feature of civilization.

Civilizations that cannot create things using the four elements were eliminated in the first round of the Civilization War.
