Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 636 Angel Alice (4-in-1)

"Could dragons have visited this world in its ancient times?"

Because so much time has passed, the speculation is difficult to verify.

However, the faint remnants of dragon blood in people's bloodlines are indeed real!

The other monsters in this world also possess some of the characteristics of dragon vein sorcerers.

This can be verified through the methods of bloodline wizards.

In addition, the ley line energy engine, which the Mogis Dynasty was so proud of, has also been gradually unearthed.

Roy secretly took a few for research purposes.

For him, the most valuable thing is this energy engine, not anything else.

However, what Roy was most interested in was not these things, but the talent ability he had just acquired: [Mechanical Life].

After integrating and applying his knowledge and skills, he came up with a bold idea.

That is, is the humanoid angel I picked up in the past, the source of the Rose Angel, considered a "creation of flesh and machine"?
In the knowledge of alchemists, it should conform to this definition.

Dolls and golems should also be considered machines.

However, in that massive explosion that destroyed the entire Cretaceous Kingdom, his soul was inexplicably obliterated, leaving him as an empty shell.

If one wants to "revive" it, creating a completely new soul for it using one's own abilities to achieve "resurrection" is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

Roy had always had this plan, but it had been delayed because of his own lack of ability.

But over the decades, he has been accumulating various kinds of knowledge and skills, like a jigsaw puzzle, becoming more and more complete.

Currently, we have made some progress in various areas, including intelligent agents and artificial intelligence programs. Immortality and resurrection techniques have also been put into practice. What we lack is something like [mechanical life].

He is now a level two wizard, and considering the inherent attribute of this ability—a +2 skill level bonus when performing such operations—he should be able to handle such a demigod-level puppet.

"Why not give it a try?"

Roy made up his mind after only a moment's thought.

……

end of June.

A World Tree sapling inside the mage's mansion.

The humanoid angel lay on the operating table, undergoing transformation.

Roy's palm glowed with white light, just as a sculptor had meticulously inscribed a magic array on his body.

With the infusion of another stream of spiritual energy, a new "secret mark" took shape within it, gradually disappearing into the void.

The work at hand has nothing to do with creating souls; it is entirely to conceal the mark from the land of chalk and hide the identity of the "angel."

After a long while, he straightened up, looked at it for a moment, and nodded silently.

Let's begin!

Try this method...

He reached out and pressed down on the head of the humanoid angel, unleashing his alchemical talent.

"[Mechanical Life]..."

As a strange power coalesced, Roy's face suddenly turned pale.

This time, he didn't use the wandering souls and divinity he had collected over the years to condense the fire seed, but rather his own spiritual power!
It felt as if my soul had been severed, a small part of it inexplicably diminished.

After so many years of natural growth, his spirit level had already reached 235.

But in that instant, it kept slipping away, and returned to 225, ten years ago.

However, this was not beyond Roy's expectations.

Because he originally intended to divide a part of his soul, using "slices" as spiritual materials to create "sparks".

He had conceived of this ability before entering this world, but due to various unmet basic conditions, it remained only a figment of his imagination.

Only after the pieces of the puzzle—the idol, the faith, the fire of the soul—are gathered can one begin to try.

To operate on one's own soul is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

However, because of his exceptionally high innate soul rank, he even successfully fused with the seed of a high-level skill like "Projection Technique," which was originally only level three. Gradually, he gained confidence in himself.

Compared to the 200+ spirit points, a loss of 10 points is completely within a controllable range.

In the end, I still dared to give it a try.

From that moment on, the humanoid angel seemed to have gained an unusual soul aura, and it came to "life" completely.

Roy silently observed the humanoid angel he had found long ago, and suddenly a strange feeling arose within him.

"It seems like it worked?"

Suddenly, it felt like being electrocuted.

The humanoid angel sat up straight and silently looked over.

A faint spiritual energy emanated from around 10 degrees, giving the impression of a real living being sitting there, scanning themselves with their spiritual energy.

Roy unconsciously shook his head, recalling a certain saying.

"Some religious stories say that God created Eve from Adam's rib..."

And now, I have extracted a wisp of my own soul to resurrect this angel…”

As Roy pondered, the power of the "spark" continued to work, gradually forming a self-sufficient, independent life form.

Only then is the entire creative process truly complete.

The humanoid angel stared blankly for a moment, then murmured to itself, "Master...?"

The injected artificial intelligence has taken effect.

"[Mechanical Life]..."

That's really amazing!
The problem that had been bothering me for so long was solved just like that!

Roy sensed it and, after confirming that she truly possessed an alchemical soul that was as lifelike as a living person, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Under the light of the Eye of Hermes, a translucent golden glow flowed, making the humanoid angel shine brightly.

"Rose Angel (Level 4)..."

The caretaker of the small garden, the maintainer of order.

Basic Attributes:
Spirit 56 degrees, physical strength 100000 degrees.

Talents:

"Sanctified Spirit Body, Rose Holy Light, Healing Light, Eye of Truth..."

Physical strength of 100000 degrees?
What amazing attributes!

It's just that I'm not entirely sure if I can fully unleash the power of a demigod.

Also, his mental state was 56 degrees, not the 10 degrees that I had previously thought?
Roy watched this scene with satisfaction and said to her, "From now on, your name is 'Alice'!"

"Aili?"

The humanoid angel looked blank.

But gradually, a strange radiance appeared.

"Alice... I understand!"

Roy then asked, "How are you feeling now? Are you clear-headed? Can you think?"

Alice seemed to have just woken up from a long sleep, and was still a little dazed.

But gradually, it became more lively and answered Roy's questions one by one.

Roy thus confirmed that Alice did indeed possess spiritual intelligence and reasoning abilities, as well as certain pre-existing memories and a virtual personality.

Roy instilled in her a spiritual intelligence similar to Celine's, and set her personality to resemble the angel he envisioned, but she was completely obedient to and devoted to him, prioritizing his own interests above all else.

This is an idealized existence, and also a manifestation of selfishness at the philosophical level.

Only in this way can one confidently entrust the strongest puppet in their hands to its command.

******
Soon after, we went outside.

Roy gave Alice an instruction.

"Try attacking that tree!"

As he spoke, he took out a small device with an embedded "biological brain" and "Moreira's Mana Eye" and put it on his left ear.

It has a single-ear-cuff design, with wriggling, active fleshy texture that tightly wraps around the ear like a turtle's skirt, but it does not affect hearing at all.

Built-in magic analyzer uses a bio-intelligent brain to detect, analyze, and record spell abilities, and to determine the spell's power and threat level.

The connected monocular display screen features pupil tracking and augmented reality technology, enabling the overlay and fusion of virtual information with real-world scenes for interactive presentation.

Roy called it the "Unigorin Terminal," which in Wizer roughly means "individual soldier support terminal."

This is a small terminal that was gradually developed by combining the "holographic battlefield" system of the mage side. It can be connected to the "Celin Network" and provide various cloud service support.

However, at this moment, he has not yet completed the construction of this network; he has only used its offline functions and simple detection and analysis capabilities.

What appeared before me was an information table with Alice's image on it. A dense array of data flashed by, and finally, a large blue question mark appeared in front of me.

Upon hearing Roy's order, Alice did as he was told.

As she raised her hand, a circular magic circle with intricate patterns appeared.

Boom!

The "Rose Holy Thunder" struck down from the sky, splitting the thick tree into charred remains.

"Beep...beep beep beep..."

The Unigorin terminal issued an alarm.

Immediately, the approximate value of the spell's power was displayed.

"3416 degree!"

That's above average for Level 2!

Alice actually only has a level one mental strength. The reason she can reach such high power is entirely due to the amplification of divine power.

Roy thought for a moment, then instructed, "Next, try physical attacks!"

Compared to her fragmented soul, Alice possesses far more formidable physical attack capabilities.

A physique with a temperature of up to 10 degrees is something that I can't reach at my current stage.

If it could be fully unleashed, it would be an exceptionally terrifying force.

Roy also had some expectations for this.

Alice stretched out her palm, enveloped in a mysterious energy that seemed to strike like a white light.

Boom!

After a terrifying wave of light flashed, a cone-shaped radial area, stretching for several kilometers, was completely leveled.

Amidst the billowing smoke, Alice maintained a stern expression, her single palm thrusting out, her body slightly turned to the side, her long hair flying behind her head.

"So exaggerated?"

Roy watched this scene in shock.

The kill radius and destructive power of this level are comparable to a small nuclear bomb!
"Beep...beep beep beep..."

It seemed that even the biological intelligence was shocked, and its brain cells burned for a while.

On the monocle display of the "Unigorin Terminal," the blue text appeared a beat late.

"12045 degree!"

"As expected, it exceeded 10,000 degrees!"

Roy's body trembled.

"And you call this kind of attack a physical attack?"

But upon closer examination, Alice never actually activated the spell model. Instead, she used a method of energy field compression, like a shotgun blast, to release her own life energy.

However, just as Roy was thinking this, Alice, who was maintaining a single-palm push-out posture, swayed.

Roy quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

"What's going on? Is it running out of energy?"

"Owner……"

Alice looked at him with dreamy eyes.

"I am fine."

He gradually regained some of his vitality, and his energy returned.

This is the emotionally driven mechanism of "generating electricity with love".

Both "love" and "being loved" can disrupt the magnetic field and trigger a response of divine energy.

After Roy understood and gradually mastered this mechanism, he unceremoniously attached a kind of faith-like emotional anchor to himself.

In the field of artificial intelligence, there is something called "system role setting," which usually refers to the predefined background, personality, behavior patterns, or functional boundaries during the interaction process.

This is what is known as "personality".

Alice's "system character settings" include loving Roy deeply and protecting Roy.

This is code written into the alchemist's soul, enabling Alice to obtain infinite energy like a perpetual motion machine through this emotional anchor.

However, for Alice at present, her spiritual energy is not strong enough, and the efficiency of absorbing and transforming it is also at a low level.

Lacking experience, we used up all our energy reserves in one go.

"I see……"

Roy roughly understood.

He immediately took out his quill pen and wrote down what he had seen, as well as his previous feelings and guesses.

And make further adjustments and plans to increase combat experience.

It's pretty much certain that Alice's current skill level is only unstable, ranging from level one to four, and it mainly depends on her performance on the day.

However, her foundation was excellent, which immediately surpassed all other trump cards and became her strongest ace.

After all, it comes from the land of chalk, and I don't yet have a way to obtain something stronger.

……

Next comes more cutting and more experimentation.

Unfortunately, mechanical life forms have limitations, and the spirit and soul cannot be divided multiple times in a short period of time.

We need to simultaneously attempt to condense an artificial soul and continue to grow our spirit.

While crafting Memory Stones and Experience Stones for Alice, Roy was also working on new ideas.

"Once my spirit recovers, or I become stronger, I will cut off another part and refine it into a virtual personality!"
However, it was not implanted into the mechanical puppet in the form of a "mechanical life form," but rather into the former physical body!
In other words, what needs to be created is a true embodiment of the 'self'!

The reason he had this idea was that he suddenly discovered that he possessed an extremely special resource: the Soul Shadow of the Multiple Talent Pages!

Right now, I can't use the abilities of [Bloodline Awakening] and [Brutalization].

Because his current body is that of a sorcerer with the bloodline of the feathered serpent god, it is completely incompatible with the body of the golden behemoth.

This prevents it from activating its properties.

However, if the shadow of the soul is separated, multiple natal charts will appear simultaneously, which may optimize the soul and create a more perfect talent.

However, to conduct such experiments, one cannot do without the soul and spirit as consumable materials.

I need a soul...

A large quantity, the very essence of experimental consumables!

Roy now finally understood why many wizards were portrayed as ferocious and evil beings.

After thinking for a while, he turned his attention to a group of monsters whose names contained the word "dog".

******
"Apprentice Mission: Hunt down kobolds and obtain their souls using Soul-Stealing Crystals!" Soon, both academies received the notification from Roy's side.

Both Mogos and Borremo had spoken extensively with Roy and were prepared for similar situations.

This is being done in accordance with the current practice.

These tasks were actually carried out by the apprentices under his command, and this served as a trial task to test their abilities and methods.

Meanwhile, good news also came from the Megan Empire: there had been some progress in the research on Poit alloy.

By combining their results with his own efforts, Roy managed to "lucky" out quite a few finished products.

A small puppet modeled after the Bird Dragon was created, and the first-level "Bird Dragon Prototype" was produced.

This is a scaled-down version of the Bird Dragon, and even the paint scheme uses the same blue and white color scheme.

However, it is only about 2 meters tall, which is not much different from a real bird dragon.

What no one knew was that Roy had implanted a canine soul originating from a beast-like evil spirit into its body.

The so-called "Bird Dragon" should actually be codenamed "Sky Hound"!
……

Mtraken, World Tree seedling.

Whoosh!
A figure swooped down from the sky at an astonishing speed.

With its wings folded together, it launched its attack in a peculiar posture that at first glance resembled a peregrine falcon, but in reality, it defied all aerodynamics.

In the blink of an eye, there was a loud bang.

The golden demonic blades on the wingtips were like sharp scythes, slicing through the passing trees.

The thick tree fell directly down, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The blue and white hunting machine, like a swallow skimming the water, suddenly changed angles, quickly pulled up, and drew an amazing, perfect arc close to the ground.

Throughout the entire process, the ground remained dust-free, as if there was absolutely no disturbance from the airflow!
"Good! Although it lost the magical ability of wind blade slashing, after special modifications and with the inherent properties of the Poit alloy, it has successfully combined with flesh and blood to create a combat puppet with extremely strong melee capabilities!"

In the short term, Roy was also unable to decipher or replicate the magical abilities inherent in the Bird Dragon.

However, we still have some control over its flight attitude and maneuverability.

Even airflow disturbances and the loud noise caused by the sound barrier were all successfully resolved!
This is quite ironic.

The Mogis dynasty dreamed of mastering such a flying machine, but they were far less resourceful than the wizard's ingenuity.

However, after launching several attacks in succession, the blue and white bird dragon prototype stopped and stood on the ground to rest for a while.

Because of the characteristics of the "Heart of Mogimor," it needs to stand on the ground, or on the top of a building that is in direct contact with the ground, or on a tree trunk, etc., to replenish its energy.

The engine cannot function properly if it is constantly flying in the air.

"If possible, we should have more energy reserves to support long-distance flights..."

However, that would make it difficult to solve the problem of counterweight.

Originally, a gold-plated frame and magnetic lead were used to reduce weight in order to improve strength and body shape...

We finally managed to get it to a reasonable level, and now any further changes mean we have to redesign everything!

Roy and Celine discussed it and felt that this kind of thing would not be easy to do.

Let's just leave it as is.

……

Because quality is more important than quantity, after Roy verified this model, he quickly upgraded it to the second stage instead of continuing to create new lower-level individuals.

He is still trying to digest the relevant technology and has not yet completed it.

But then, bad news came from the Parel steppe.

The Iris Alliance has been defeated!
"What exactly is going on? Even with your help, we still can't defeat the enemy?"

Roy received a communication from Shkod and the others and asked in confusion.

"Lord Roy, I'm so sorry, we've done our best..."

However, those gnolls were numerous and strong, making them quite difficult to deal with.

We even discovered that some monsters such as trolls, lizardmen, and kobolds also appeared on the other side.

"If it weren't for the Apostle Set you bestowed upon us before, we might not have made it back."

Shkod briefly explained the situation.

"The monsters have actually teamed up?"

Roy frowned deeply.

"No, it's just a temporary alliance formed by chance..."

"Could it be the will of the world playing tricks?"
Okay, let me think of a solution!

Let the Iris Federation make its wish once more: to trade for the right to use a Level 1 puppet!

Roy had previously loaned Ms. Edwin to the Megan Empire, so it wouldn't be appropriate to give her to the Federation now.

The "Bird Dragon Prototype" is related to the secrets of the Bird Dragon and may also expose the flaws of the God of Wishes.

Why not just give them the low-level units from "Saturans Chess" and exchange them for some resources?

Roy felt that he didn't really need level one units anymore, and it might be better to give them to the natives than to keep them for himself.

So, the Iris Federation then came with a large amount of wealth and exchanged it for the Level 1 Mechanical Guard in Roy's possession.

The items looted from the Mage Tower are becoming increasingly useless. I've sold some before, but I've decided to optimize them all now.

However, he kept the higher-order element matrix.

Since this stuff comes from the land of chalk, there might be room for improvement.

After the Federation personnel left, Roy pondered deeply, trying to find a solution.

"The world's will has begun to favor monsters instead of humans."

Could it be that Barth's actions caused the world's will to feel obstructed, thus prompting a shift in destiny?

The girl's skull floated to the side, reminding Roy, "Perhaps we shouldn't try to figure things out with this kind of subjective thinking. The will of the world is like flowing water; it will only go with the flow."

Bart has helped you so much lately, so a change of fate is inevitable.

Roy paused for a moment, thought about it, and realized that what he said made a lot of sense.

"Giving them puppets only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

It seems we still need to find ways to improve the overall level of society.

Is there a way to achieve immediate results while maintaining firm control?

Roy began to ponder.

Actually, there's never a shortage of solutions.

What's lacking is only the objective material conditions.

He originally had a plan to breed flesh mushrooms and cultivate Celine in this world.

This is a good opportunity to lay out a large-scale communication network and connect different regions.

If this backward world can be equipped with the communication capabilities of the information age, even if the original level of productivity is maintained, it can be improved by leaps and bounds.

In this process of informatization, one can also gain control over the entire world.

The key is to find a way that is both cost-effective and convenient.

For example, let the natives pay for it and lay the floor themselves!

The wizards stationed troops to "protect" the natives, but it was always the natives who paid "protection fees," never the natives themselves.

******
March of the new year has arrived.

Unbeknownst to many, Roy has been in the world of Alage for a full 11 years.

The Empire and the Federation received hints from the "God of Wishes" one after another, and successively exchanged for and obtained technologies such as the puffed brain derived from the meat mushroom and the source of the demonic tumor.

And then there's the biological intelligence they currently cannot comprehend or absorb at all...

This allowed for the rapid completion of the basic hardware and software infrastructure, enabling the implementation of information technology infrastructure in several major cities.

……

At the end of the month, in the federal capital.

Grand Duke Bernard, Grace, Shcord, Wall, and others inspected the newly completed base station tower.

Upon entering the main hall of the base station, an incredibly powerful spiritual force surged forth like a tidal wave.

High-energy radiation was continuously emitted in all directions. Not to mention ordinary people, even elite apprentices like them felt their cells starting to heat up, as if staying there for too long would activate cancerous changes.

This is radiation from brainwaves.

In the Wizarding World, communication base stations really do emit radiation! Ordinary people are prohibited from approaching them!

After regaining their composure, the group looked ahead.

On the wall in front, there appeared an abstract female head that was over ten meters tall.

At first glance, it looks like a female giant whose head has been cut off and placed in the hall of this small witch tower.

Shkod and the others vaguely sensed that a large number of mushroom mycelia were penetrating the nutrient pool below.

Above the skull, there is a reserved growth space, as well as heat dissipation windows, diversion pipes, cooling pools and other facilities.

Through brute force and direct accumulation, this large sub-brain can grow to the size of an entire tower, equivalent to tens of thousands of degrees of mental energy.

Although it has no mass whatsoever, it is more than capable of dividing into many parallel computing units to undertake numerous tasks such as communication, computation, simulation, and deduction.

Hello, Celine!

With a touch of trepidation, Archduke Bernard uttered the incantation to awaken him.

Suddenly, the giantess opened her eyes.

Everyone present felt the radiation of the witchcraft energy even more strongly, and goosebumps seemed to rise on their skin.

"Please conduct a communication test!"

"Ok."

A soft female voice rang directly in their minds.

Immediately afterwards, a huge light screen appeared.

"Connection established..."

Grand Duke Bernard's gaze fell upon the light representing the imperial capital of Meganel, and he uttered, "Please send an email wishing His Majesty the Emperor well!"

……

at the same time.

Inside a heavily guarded base station tower in the capital city of Meggen.

Bart and his princes and ministers also received emails from the Federation while facing the same "Head of the Giantess" and enduring powerful radiation.

"Internet communication..."

It really worked! "

The moment the bio-intelligent brain received the email from afar and displayed it on a projected screen, the surrounding crowd erupted in excitement.

Thousands of miles away, I received the letter in a single thought!
Even natives who have no concept of the "information age" can immediately understand that humanity is about to enter a new era!
"Replying to His Excellency Grand Duke Bernard: I wish him good health!"

Bart, as always, played his part, responding arrogantly and haughtily.

He then gave instructions to those around him.

"Install the radiation shields and seal off the tower!"

The project was launched immediately.

Just a few days later, the base station tower was officially put into operation.

At the same time, similar "skulls of young girls" have appeared on the desks of powerful and important figures.

The difference is that Roy was afraid they wouldn't be able to accept the human head shape, so he thoughtfully arranged for a cute and chubby puppet shape.

That was a biological intelligence derived from a branch of the "Sipka Fairy"; if you cut it open, it would be full of brains.

The spiritual power level of each one was also weakened to around 3 degrees, which is something that ordinary people can withstand.

If the opportunity arises, different functional versions such as 2 degrees, 1 degree, and 0.1 degrees will also be launched.

Roy intends to create a society where alchemical life coexists with humans in this way, artificially elevating its level of informatization and networking.

Behind all this, the one who controls everything is naturally Celine herself.

You can easily control the whole world with it!

The world's will, as if sensing something, drives an invisible force that influences many people.

The people began to have all sorts of doubts and even disgust about the large influx of "Sipka fairies" into human society.

There have also been occasional acts of destruction that harm fairies, such as dissecting their brains.

However, all of these issues were gradually resolved thanks to Roy's efforts.

His solution was simple: let the people choose for themselves, let them pay for it themselves, and experience the benefits of it.

Those who have invested money in purchasing these items have sunk costs, so they will naturally want to protect them.

Those who experience its convenience are more likely to actively promote and apply it.

Starting with administrative matters, it was gradually extended to the military, commerce, education, and people's livelihood...

Although in the short term, there is still not enough capacity to promote the use of personal smart computers by everyone.

However, just a year and a half later, as the new year draws to a close, the initial popularization has already been completed.

……

"Great, that's how we've achieved telegraph access in every village and smart brain access in every town."

Base station towers were also built in major cities, and Celine's branch brains were also established!
However, this still mainly relies on the nutrient solution I provide myself, as well as various remote communication facilities. To further improve this network, we still need to rely on the growth of the mushrooms.

In Mtraken, at the mage's mansion.

Roy checked the progress of the "Celine Network" again and nodded with a hint of satisfaction.

This is a big project.

Although the natives were mobilized, what they could ultimately provide were still ordinary goods.

What is truly valuable and rare are the magical materials and various resources that one has at one's disposal.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, it can be said that it has truly gotten back on track.

However, at that moment, Celine suddenly told Roy some bad news.

"Our reserves of basic resources, such as the Great Albert Water, magic stones, gem fragments, and fossil materials, are all running out!"

Most of the things here were brought over by Roy from the Wizard Tower.

He originally owned a mage's mansion, and his resources far surpassed those of the average wizard.

But it couldn't withstand the extravagant spending.

Finally, after just over 10 years, it became unsustainable.

"It seems that we are about to enter another phase of infrastructure development, seeking self-sufficiency in this world."

Alternatively, you can return to the Witch Tower to exchange for resources.

Roy was prepared for this kind of thing, so he wasn't surprised and just quietly thought of a solution.

Suddenly, another unusual notification sounded.

Celine turned it around; it was an urgent enemy intelligence report from the Wizard Tower.

"Witch Roy, there's been some unusual activity from Achinila..."

The world of Araghi may be under invasion. Please prepare accordingly!
