Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 702 Central Star Region (2-in-1)

"Perhaps, we can share some of the divine power of the Golden Dragon God and become a war god 'worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple'?"

This is a method to increase the proportion of divinity, and it falls under the category of 'creating a god'.

Roy was quite interested in this topic.

Even her own followers, Artia and Windsorbell, were treated this way!

They possess the potential for a golden soul because of their love for themselves or the miracle of being resurrected.

By combining this research with the soul, one can be transformed and brought closer to the true Rose Angel!

Originally, Windsorbell and Artedia were like believers, having experienced death, resurrection, and the transformation of their souls.

Now we've gone even further and delved into the essence of this matter!
……

In the days that followed, Roy continued to observe Adari to confirm his current condition.

"Lord Roy, Edrari's mental strength has increased to over 10 degrees, meeting the standards for a formal wizard."

The body temperature is close to 20 degrees Celsius...

This is the initial stage of promotion. After the potential is released, I believe that I will soon reach a mental level of over 25 degrees and a physical level of over 75 degrees.

At this level, wearing Level 2 Apostle Armor equates to standard Level 2 combat strength.

Inside the Gonde Tower, in the laboratory.

Freya reported to Roy.

What materials are suitable for strengthening him?

Roy asked.

Freya thought for a moment and said, "There are several kinds of magical beast bloodline potions that we seized before."

There's also the mage's plan to modify subhuman intelligent beings...

However, it is not yet known whether this will conflict with the Golden Dragon people's dragon vein sorcerer enhancement.

"I see. Let me think about it."

Roy nodded, picked out a few of them, and prepared to enhance them for him.

At this moment, the girl's head floated over and mentioned preparing to set off for the central star region behind the star gate.

This journey is long and requires special methods to traverse the star realm using magic.

Ordinary "teleportation" cannot do this; a stargate is required.

And now, the Nard Stargate is in their hands.

During the previous attack on the Star Gate, his troops were also in a state of war. With a little rest, they can be redeployed.

These are not really problems; the key issue is the situation over there.

War is raging in the central star region, and the main force is being suppressed by the wizards.

That would be a good opportunity for me to make my move.

Conversely, be careful to avoid being surrounded.

The discussion then turned to the handling of the Tower Spirit, the previously captured Archmage Rum, and even the defeated Archmage Greya.

He did not die! Instead, he was sealed inside the stone statue, his soul imprisoned.

Roy has already handed them all over to the Witch Tower, and now, after a series of negotiations, the general framework for the buyout has been finalized.

"The materials needed to refine the level three puppet and upgrade the three-headed dragon have been fully prepared and will be delivered with the next batch of supplies!"
In addition, the captured antimony stars contained both light and electricity, and the antimony stars obtained through exchange included heat-generating antimony stars and magnetic antimony stars...

All four energy sources have been prepared as experimental materials, and the experimental Level 3 Apostle Armor can now be modified!

The resulting armor, combined with the flesh-and-metal technology possessed by the Mogis civilization, would be absolutely no less impressive than that created by mages.

If we obtain the research data on antimony from the Spirit Star from the mage...

Now I can officially begin exploring this field!

These spoils of war were all taken from magical armor, but Roy modified them into apostle armor with a divine magic system.

If we can truly combine our research on antimony from the Spirit Star and gain access to the power of this field...

The results achieved are so remarkable that even the gods take notice!
……

A few days later.

Inside the Gonde Tower, a new batch of wizards arrived, escorting supplies to their destination.

Sure enough, it contained the resources and knowledge Roy needed.

He immediately took possession of the goods, then began to enhance and modify his three-headed dragon, and...

Four experimental Apostle armors!
This matter took him several months.

However, since other preparations were also underway at the same time, it seemed like it was all done in the blink of an eye.

In early November.

The outskirts of Balagonde.

In a vast, open field.

"This is the new armor?"

Artia, Prandtse, Nisa, and Beryl looked up.

Before them appeared four enormous individual bio-engineered armors, each about 10 meters tall, resembling giants.

Unlike the skin-like cloak that is merely an outer layer covering the body and covered with a thick layer of "fake muscles," this is different.

This is a true, flesh-and-blood giant.

However, the chest and abdominal cavities were almost completely emptied, leaving just enough space for one person to enter.

This is why its usage is referred to as "driving".

"This is much smaller than the original armor produced by the Bachinira mages and the Ellen aliens, and it's also much easier to operate. You just need to enter it and use your mental power to control it..."

Roy offered a brief explanation.

The four apostle armors were largely similar in appearance, except for the holy emblem on their chests.

This can be considered an experiment.

Pure war machines, they don't need to be piloted at all; they can be manufactured according to the specifications of flesh and blood puppets like the Bird Dragon.

"There's no point in saying more, let's give it a try!"

Pranzhe flew up first, turning her back to enter the Apostle Armor.

As the armor's chest cavity closed, layers of flesh enveloped it, eventually solidifying into a hard structure similar to the ribcage.

The eyes of the Apostle Armor also lit up.

"In my original plan, it was supposed to be like the Bird Dragon, with a Soul Gem embedded in its top, directly sucking people in..."

However, this involves the transformation between soul and matter, which can only be easily achieved by using the Spirit Star Antimony.

I really don't know what trick the Mogis used; perhaps the principles are completely different.

Roy watched this scene and sighed softly.

Even the way to enter the armor has many mysteries.

Soon.

Artia, Nisa, and Beryl entered one after another.

They each leaped into the air and scattered at incredible speeds in all directions, searching for magical beasts to hunt or potential unstable elements on the planet.

Roy stayed where he was, using the communication crystal to communicate remotely and occasionally asking each other how they were feeling.

It turned out that everyone adapted to this driving mode very easily. It was just physical control, after all, it involved a lot of consciousness or neural connections, which was far less straightforward than the Soul Stone.

Although refining soul gems may seem more difficult to others, one can rely on their talent to forge their own path, making it actually simpler.

Roy became increasingly certain that this was the right path for him.

Therefore, the task of extracting souls from Artedia and the others and refining gems was put on the agenda.

******
Although performing multiple soul transfers at once requires a considerable amount of materials and rituals.

But Roy has now reaped considerable rewards, having conquered both Fran and Nard, more than enough to cover the expenses.

Let's take this opportunity to try it out together with our previous explorations of the Rose Emblem.

In addition, "Creation Technique" and the more affordable Soul Gem were also included in the plan.

The ability to create the Level 5 material "Magic Diamond Marbles" was due to the divine power crystals provided by the Archmage Mareshar as its core. He currently lacks such a material and also doesn't have enough Wish Crystals to complete the process.

Only level three magical energy can be used as a substitute.

The final product is only at level three.

Roy used the [Yellowing Technique] to the best of his ability to change the properties of the materials, bringing them to the peak of level three.

And through this, they explored the "art of creation".

……

By June, Roy had successfully completed these plans and also upgraded his platinum armor to be even more suitable for "Layered Armor".

These are all to prevent being severely injured in an encounter with an enemy, where one might not be able to dodge in time.

Besides that, the next step is to select the expedition team.

"This time, let's bring Mogos, Hurgh, and the others along too!"

And there's Aug, Prieti, Adira…

He no longer undertakes the tasks assigned by the Alliance, but instead enters "free plunder" mode.

They're hoping to go to a wealthy planet and acquire more resources.

Besides being highly capable and talented individuals, the people selected are mostly those with whom they have a close relationship or whom they admire and intend to promote.

Roy transferred Org and the entire Third Legion to him, and also put him in charge of his own "Matant Force"!
As for Adari...

"It's perfect to hand over the newly formed Fran Star army to him!"

During the Stargate War, Roy and Legatos each promoted and appointed some Fran aliens, including several who were promoted to the next level.

Equipped with level 2 armor, it is quite powerful.

This can serve as a second-line force, responsible for areas in the central star system where forces are relatively weak.

The key is to train the Fran aliens to follow the wizards in battle and find their own place.

This unit has about a hundred Level 1 armored warriors and nearly ten thousand Level 0 armored warriors. It also has its own exclusive organization and recruitment quota, and can continuously draw troops from Fran Star.

This also weakened the military forces stationed on Fran Star to some extent, thus maintaining a certain balance overall.

Just like the world of Araghi and the world of Yodakara.

Anyone who gets promoted will be included in the watchlist and recruitment list.

This makes it difficult for them to remain in their homeland and poses a threat to the wizards' rule!

……

Before we knew it, it was late July.

Roy suddenly received an important message from the front lines: "The main force of the Alien Ellen has been mobilized, and all three 'Angel-class warships' have been sent to the front lines for support!"

This means that the rear is empty, and I will have a great opportunity to achieve something!

"Perhaps now is the best time to enter the Central Star Region!"

He discussed it with Legatus and confirmed the matter.

So they quickly completed the final recruitment and assembled in front of the Star Gate.

Nader Stargate.

In the vast emptiness of the universe.

Team after team stepped into the teleportation array, vanished into thin air, and then reappeared on the other side of the star gate, countless billions of miles away.

"The mage and the Ellen aliens are not unaware that the star gate here has been breached."

But a year is far too short for the astral realm.

The situation at the front is constantly changing, and it's simply impossible to spare many troops to come here.

Because that means at least several archmages, and a third-tier combat force, need to be deployed…

Roy and Legatos discussed what they saw from behind.

"If they can hold us off even slightly, that's fine. But if they can't, then it will be another complete collapse!"

"This is probably the other party's true mindset. If it were us, we would most likely do the same, trading space for time."

We can plunder and destroy these planetary worlds as we please.

Buy time for the front lines!
It can take anywhere from three to five years, seven or eight years, or even more than ten or several decades...

Whenever a powerful figure at the level of a Grand Wizard or a Legendary Mage emerges victorious, the ownership of a vast galaxy can be determined.

The role we can play is merely to offer some support.

However, this is of paramount importance to us.

We must take this opportunity to accumulate the resources needed for future promotions or building our own power!

Before they knew it, it was Roy and the others' turn to join the transfer queue.

He used a special method to sense the situation of the distant team. After confirming that it was safe, he activated the "teleportation spell" and disappeared from the spot.

Before leaving, he left a message that resonated like thunder.

Farewell, Legatus...

If all goes well in the future, see you again on Planet Allen!

……

Almost at the same time.

Central Star Region, on Potan.

A massive spacetime vortex emerged.

Guided by pre-arranged spies at the anchor point, Roy deliberately chose this carefully selected location to begin his alien journey.

Ahead of him, thousands of troops had already gathered and were waiting.

"Lord Roy, we have successfully landed!"

The Potanians seem unaware yet…

Aug, somewhat eager to try, volunteered to fight.

"Please allow me to lead the army and conquer this place!"

"Well, let's go!"

Roy responded calmly.

Potan is an alien world inhabited by large-headed monsters of the subhuman genus.

They are close relatives of the Ellen aliens, possessing large heads and slender bodies.

Their brain volume ratio is second only to the dominant Ellen aliens.

Compared to the Ellenians, who developed a brilliant technological civilization, this race's proud innate ability is telekinesis.

But precisely because of this, many opportunities for scientific development have been missed.

When Roy and his companions arrived in this world, they were still in the nascent stage of industry, guided by mages and the Ellen aliens.

Soon after, over a large city, Aug sent several of his men to storm in, easily defeating the garrison like tigers among sheep.

The Potanians were short in stature and technologically backward. They were far from being able to resist this level of invasion in terms of both strength and intelligence, and therefore, they quickly fell.

Encouraged, Aug sent out more troops to conquer city after city.

In just one night, the Potan aliens' world government was forced to surrender.

"Your Excellency the Wizard, we are willing to surrender in exchange for the right to live..."

Please allow us to be your humble servants, to do our utmost to serve you!

Upon seeing this result, Og, who was from Yodakara, was also dumbfounded.

"I haven't even put in any effort yet, and you've already surrendered!"

Meanwhile, on Potan.

In a hidden corner unnoticed by them, several mages took action.

　Today is a special situation! My room's air conditioner broke down yesterday afternoon, making it unbearably hot and humid. I was restless and couldn't sleep... Plus, I spent the entire weekend dismantling and recycling the old air conditioner and buying a new one... I can only write this much, please forgive me.

　　I'll be updating two chapters at 7 PM, but I'm not sure if I can make up for it later, so I can't guarantee it!
