The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 926 Everyone Shows Their Magical Powers

"Kill me? Logically speaking, shouldn't I be the one who wants to kill you?"

A murderous aura suddenly appeared on Lion-Headed Moke's body.

“You killed me and took away my substitute treasure and the Sovereign. By all accounts, it should be me seeking revenge against you.”

"is it?"

Richard gave a cold smile.

"Your self-destruction caused quite a stir; do you know you attracted a giant?"

"A giant?" Lion-headed Moko was taken aback. Dimensional giants were not to be trifled with. Within a dimensional giant's dimension, a dimensional giant was comparable to a celestial demon, that is, a leader.

Even a weak dimensional giant is equivalent to a dual-limit-breaking ruler.

Could Richard have survived encountering such a being?

Looking at Richard's serious expression, Lion-Headed Moko couldn't help but feel a little surprised and uncertain.

He suspected Richard was deliberately making things up to mislead the maze's owner, but recalling Richard's ambush, he felt Richard was telling the truth.

However, whether it's true or not, he has to keep up the act for now.

"Ha, you're bragging so much, aren't you afraid it'll blow you up? Someone like you, who has to resort to sneak attacks to deal with me, managed to escape from the clutches of a giant?"

Richard remained silent, only letting out a series of cold laughs.

"You'd better have a backup plan, otherwise you definitely won't escape this time. Even if you don't die by my hand, you'll die in the experiment."

Lionhead Moko's only response was a sneer.

Inside the library, a fluorescent glow emanated from the slime that was listening to the two people's conversation.

"It seems I was overthinking it; these two are indeed enemies."

As an ancient ruler, the slime may be somewhat insane, but at such an advanced age, even a fool should be wary to the core.

He looked at the book beside him, countless pieces of information flowing and calculating within his soul.

While calculating, the slime unconsciously transformed into a creature resembling an octopus.

He muttered to himself, "This time I have to succeed. If I miss this opportunity, I definitely won't be able to find such good material again in the future."

Before becoming a Level 9 being, every Overlord has a lifespan limit, regardless of their evolutionary path.

He has lived for far too long, so long that even among the rulers, he is considered a dying man.

If he doesn't create a suitable body soon, he'll really have to die of old age here.

……

Richard didn't talk to Lionhead Moko for long. After exchanging a series of trash talk openly and discussing the details of the cooperation in secret, he left the secret room and returned to the plain he had entered from.

According to the slime, there are many gadgets on this plain that can bring Richard's body to its best condition.

Richard walked across the plain, all four of his eyes open, constantly observing the surrounding space.

According to Lion-Headed Moke, the path of evolution of acting on behalf of Heaven and controlling destiny involves merging the soul into a world, transforming it into an existence akin to the will of the world.

The upper limit of this evolutionary path can lead directly to the Great Heavenly Demon, and the Great Heavenly Demon of the Endless Demon Kingdom is on this route.

However, while this path of evolution has a very high potential, it presents many problems in practice.

The slightest mistake could lead to the annihilation of one's soul.

According to Lion-Headed Moke's speculation, the owner of this laboratory went astray, causing his soul to lose full control of the space, thus becoming a prisoner-like being, eternally trapped in this labyrinth.

However, because he did not go completely astray, the essence of his life was still slightly altered, causing his soul to be unable to be contained by a typical ruling body.

That's why this guy went so far as to experiment on the Overlord.

He needs a body that is also not fully sublimated to contain his soul.

The voice of the lion-headed Moko echoed in Richard's mind.

"Don't be intimidated by this half-baked guy. Although he looks intimidating, his actual combat power is not even as good as a normal Heavenly Demon. As long as you can use dimensional power to block the energy nodes in a certain area for a short time, then this space will be out of his control."

The more regions like this he controls, the weaker he becomes. If he can control more than a third of the space, he has no chance of defeating us.

If he could control half of it, he would surely die.

As he surveyed the surrounding space, he saw that the air was filled with energy pathways. These pathways were incredibly complex, much like the capillaries inside the human body.

"This road... isn't bad," Richard thought to himself.

To merge the soul with the world, and to replace the physical body with the world, is an incredibly brilliant idea. While the physical body of a living being is powerful, no matter how it changes, its internal strength can never compare to that of a world.

The reason why the Overlord can shatter the world is because the world's will is vague. He cannot accurately mobilize his power, nor does he have the knowledge of many Overlords.

But once the soul merges with the world, everything changes.

Even the smallest micro-world contains more energy in its ley lines than a Limitless Overlord. With such abundant energy, coupled with the complete internal rules of the world and the invulnerability of all laws to the world's origin... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call such an existence the ultimate life form.

"But unfortunately, we went the wrong way."

Although Richard's view was not comprehensive, he could clearly see that there was actually a problem with this energy light path.

They do fill every inch of space, but they lack a sense of roots. They are more like pipes, merely transporting energy.

This is clearly incorrect.

If a world is to move, its internal structure must be incredibly tightly connected. If it were just simple pipes, the world would fall apart at the slightest movement—of course, if it were entirely made of pipes, the world wouldn't even be able to move. Richard silently considered a solution, and after a moment's thought, a familiar spell appeared in his mind.

"...Silk puppetry is very suitable for this situation."

The puppet threads released by the Silk Puppet Technique can spread infinitely along these channels as long as there is dimensional power, forming a plug at each node.

Richard imagined the silk puppet technique spreading in his mind and couldn't help but gasp.

Perhaps, for that important figure, this is the true application of silk puppetry.

Meanwhile, in the secret prison, the lion-headed Mokho also began his operation.

"Ha, even a demon who went astray dared to let me in."

Lion-Headed Moke sneered inwardly. Although the owner of this laboratory was clearly from a super-class civilization, their Endless Demon Kingdom was also a super-class civilization.

To let a cripple in like that is simply asking for trouble.

With a cold laugh, the fiery wheel behind Lion-Headed Mokko began to spin faster, and an invisible force emerged from his body.

This deviation from the right path of evolution, though manifesting as the will of the world, still exerts far less control over the world than the dominance of the one who takes the correct path.

These light paths seem to allow him to see everything in the world, but it's actually not difficult to deceive his eyes.

In particular, Richard told him that the lab owner was revising the plan.

In this situation, he has at least nine ways to deceive him, nine ways!

After obscuring his vision, the massive wheel of flames behind him began to emit invisible flames. These flames were unseen and intangible, and as soon as they appeared, they merged into the energy light path inside the space.

This is a supernatural power called Demon Seed, which can corrupt and demonize a creature on both the soul and physical levels.

This demonization doesn't transform a person into a creature of an endless demon kingdom, but rather plunges them into a state of insanity from which they cannot control themselves, causing their body to mutate and shatter.

Of course, in this situation, the attack strength of the creature will also increase.

In the Endless Demon Kingdom, there was an instance where a ruler who used a demon seed was killed by a ruler weaker than him with a single punch.

However, it carries high risk and high reward.

Once the demonic seed takes effect, the owner of this laboratory will inevitably be unable to control him.

At that time, the many treasures inside this laboratory, and even its heritage, will all be his.

They've all become demons; how could they not have some kind of insane, demonic nature?

In the library, as the slime refined his plan, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

It felt like there was an itch somewhere.

He glanced at Richard and Moko the Lionhead, and when he saw that they hadn't done anything, a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

"Am I just imagining things? Or am I hallucinating again?"

Slime knew that his mental state was very unstable, and he had experienced auditory and visual hallucinations before, so perhaps this time would be the same.

Putting aside his doubts, the slime continued to revise the plan.

He only has this one chance, and he must seize it.

……

"Have they already started planting the nails?"

As Richard watched the special energy flash by in the energy pipes, he began to weave silk puppetry within his own body.

Clearly, if they want to win, they must use unconventional methods.

Planting nails in advance is certainly a good method.

The silk puppet technique was completed quickly, but placing it in the light path without it being detected was a bit difficult.

The completed silk puppet technique was enveloped in a layer of energy, and then the power of dimensions began to move within Richard's body once again.

This time, Richard's first complete rule—the Radiation Rule—was given a magical twist.

Using the supernatural rules of radiation, Richard added a barrier to the outer layer of the Silk Puppet Technique to ensure that the energy would flow smoothly through this barrier.

As they walked, the light sphere containing the silk puppet technique silently merged into the path of light.

This time, the slimes in the library didn't even seem to notice anything unusual.

But a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in my heart.

"Hmm? Why would I have this feeling?"

Slime put down the plan and did not dismiss the feeling as an illusion as he had done before.

The ruler's whims are never unfounded.

His will traveled along the energy path, his most cautious method of self-examination. Soon, the demonic seed planted by Lion-Headed Mokho appeared within his will.

"what is this?"

The slime instinctively activated the demonic seed, wanting to see what it was.

But he didn't know that the demon seed was triggered.
