Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 752 Alchemy Godhood (4-in-1)

Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, a ray of divine light condensed, gradually transforming from nothingness into reality, turning into a small, walnut-shaped golden crystal.

A semi-transparent virtual panel then appeared.

[Alchemy talent gain in progress (100%)]

Alchemy Godhood (Primal Level)

[Master the concept of "God of Alchemy," possess the divine status of the alchemical realm, be able to respond to the prayers of the alchemical realm, create divine power, fulfill divine duties, and gain +4 to the corresponding ability level when performing all alchemical operations.]

Alchemy...divinity!

Its very existence, and its various characteristics, greatly surprised Roy.

Moreover, even the wise words of the sages that I have obtained in the past have never condensed into golden crystals like this.

Until now, it seems to have broken down the boundaries between the spiritual and the material...

They actually rewarded me with a physical entity!
Roy looked at it.

"Roy's Alchemy Godhood (Level 5)..."

The alchemist Roy condensed a conceptual crystal of divinity, which was then materialized into a divine entity.

This deity can respond to prayers in the realm of alchemy, create divine power, fulfill divine duties, and increase the corresponding ability level by 4 when performing any alchemical operation...

Power: 100000...

Divine Arts: "Animation," "Fundamental Alchemy," "Darkening," "Albinism," "Yellowing," "Reddening," "Petrification," "Melting," "Turning Stone into Gold"...

Roy glanced at this section without even realizing it.

This is not all, but only a part of the list of divine spells.

Such as "unblocking of secrets", "knowledge enlightenment", "natural magic", "alchemical intuition" and the like.

Even "master of art," "master of alchemy," "conceptual weapon"...

They are all included.

Simply put, it's about replicating most of the alchemical talents you possess within your astrological chart and "divinizing" them!

Numerous talents, densely packed and countless, have all formed some mysterious connection with this divine spark.

As Roy grasped the divine spark, he immediately felt many of the soul particles that had been swirling around him being drawn towards him.

The half-golden, half-crystallized divine essence displayed divine wonders at the level of a true god.

As expected of a level 5 item!
Roy thought about it and decided not to rush into fusing with the divine essence. Instead, he treated it as an external organ to assist his brain.

Because what the Vizel wizards sought was a being greater than ordinary gods.

That is to use one's own knowledge to uncover the truth and seek the ultimate mysteries of heaven, earth, nature, and the entire universe.

Most deities are manifestations of primordial souls, representing a kind of "ultimate" state.

But that is not the whole "ultimate".

Upon ascending to godhood, the attributes of the body and soul will change towards the divine template, and some things outside of one's own origin will become impossible to integrate with.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to cultivate a god-level avatar in the old way.

"However, this divine spark is a level five true god's divine spark? The quality is quite high."

Perhaps even a three-level slice wouldn't be enough to unleash its full potential, and it would be a bit of a waste?

Roy recalled everything he knew and had already formed some conclusions in his mind.

Although his soul rank was high, his energy level was far from sufficient, and he could not even control the fusion form of Valkyrie.

However, controlling this divine essence is not that difficult.

Because it is not a divine personality stolen from others, but a divine personality completely imprinted with its own mark.

The only concern is that the supporting facilities are not yet ready.

A level-five true god shouldn't be using a mortal body, right?

This golden dragon's body has not yet fully matured; it is not the kind of legendary dragon comparable to a god.

Currently, the soul's strength is insufficient, making it difficult to cut out enough soul fragments, thus hindering the creation of a genuine true god.

Acting rashly will inevitably lead to outward strength but inner weakness, and one will then have to rely excessively on believers, thus being "diluted" to some extent.

"Let's not ascend to godhood for now, since we don't have the resources to make slices."

Let's wait a few years, until we're fully prepared.

Roy thought for a moment and took out several documents.

Without needing any "refining array," he simply clasped his hands together and rubbed them together as if making a ball.

A moment later, he opened his palm.

A faint, luminous glow appeared on it.

Roy brought his fingertips close to his brow, pressed them against it, and slowly let them melt into his skin.

A moment later, a dazzling star appeared near the center of the astrological chart.

Such a complete and fully functional divine status is extremely precious, almost equivalent to a divine position.

It's best to keep a low profile and not flaunt your wealth.

……

Afterwards, Roy came out of the room, gave an order, and prepared to embark on his journey home.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Serafina?"

Nisha usually says she finds taking care of children quite annoying, but after spending so many years with them, she's actually started to feel a bit reluctant to part with them.

She couldn't help but remind him.

"Go ahead if you want, I can wait for you for another half day."

Having already made arrangements beforehand, Roy doesn't even plan to see Serafina again this time.

Since he had already said everything he needed to say, he didn't know what there was to say if they met again.

If the other party can advance to level two and possess a lifespan of a thousand years, they will eventually meet in the world of Akkadmia or Araghi.

If not, then after two or three hundred years, or more than three hundred years, their souls will either return to heaven and earth, or be reborn as believers and appear in the divine kingdom of the Goddess of Light.

That is something akin to reincarnation.

"Never mind then, I won't go."

Nisha clearly understood this as well, and sighed inwardly.

"On the bright side, since the mission was exceeded, the academy might provide a round-trip quota. Even if not, we might still have to make round trips to harvest divine power."

Freya comforted her.

"You'll still have a chance to come and see her when the time comes."

Compared to the teacher-student-like relationship between Nisa and Serafina, she misses her biological mother even more, but they haven't seen each other for many years.

The other party was an ordinary person, who probably died of old age a long time ago.

This is the true meaning of separation by death.

However, as an immortal wizard, one cannot avoid experiencing these separations of life and death.

Soon, everyone entered the mage's mansion, while Roy locked onto a distant anchor point outside, activated his magic, and cast "Teleportation".

As his body disappeared from the spot, a moment later, in the distant forest, light and shadow flickered, and Roy emerged from it.

That was the direction from which they first appeared. Flying another 1000 miles or so would lead them back to Akademia.

"teacher……"

Inside the mansion, Serafina, who was a step too late, looked dejected and muttered to herself.

"goodbye!"

******
Okmi Tower, sixth floor.

Teleportation room.

As the spacetime rippled like water, Roy's figure appeared within it.

The peculiar spirituality unique to Wizel surged forth, but this time, it seemed subtly different.

"This mana..."

Did the will of the world grant me magical access?

Furthermore, all the restrictions on returning to the tower have disappeared!

Roy's heart stirred slightly.

He suddenly felt that this temporary return to the Witch Tower was a completely different experience from the past.

It's like a prodigal son who has worked hard away from home returning in glory, finally gaining some kind of recognition and permission!

A mysterious message surged over him, making him understand many things as if he had no teacher.

"I see……

Now I have enough status, enough ability, enough merit and contribution, and I even have a 'divine office'!

They are now qualified to participate in the formulation of sacred laws, and to incorporate their own "wizard's maxims" into the will of the world!

As is well known, the World Will and the Plane Will are existences at the Iron level.

They are like algae, fungi, or even ant colonies and insects; they have no intelligence whatsoever.

That's because the scale of spirituality is so vast that it has been "diluted".

A powerful and pure individual can merge with it, continuously adding components of "gold" or higher to enhance its essence.

So now, I am also "needed" by Wiesel.

What He gave up was the recognition of a god-like being and the "legislative power" of the entire world.

"How exactly do I do it?"

Roy, sensing the message from the unseen world, continued reading, but gradually a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Is returning to one's hometown after death the true beginning?"

He suddenly realized with a start that extraordinary beings live forever...

Above all that is an unattainable realm: immortality!

As far as the planes and wills are concerned, whether it's a great wizard, a legend, or a god...

They're all the same.

They all have lifespans of only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years.

Life is always fragile and short.

Compared to physical planets that are billions of years old, and world wills that are relatively short-lived but also have billions of years of existence, this is truly a case of being born in the morning and dying in the evening.

Therefore, death is not the end, but rather the beginning of true immortality!
In the blink of an eye, a woman in a red dress, like a ghost, quietly appeared.

"Welcome back, Lord Roy!"

"Take me to the accommodation room; I want to mount the spatial portal there."

Roy gave the order.

"Yes."

The ghost in the red dress immediately led the way.

As Roy strolled through the corridors inside the Wizard Tower, he analyzed the situation and realized that the divine status he had obtained was a gift from the world's will of Egris.

It refined pure souls, helping to condense this divine essence of the alchemical realm, consuming the very essence of the world.

But this was not obtained through plunder; rather, it was due to the expulsion of the Temple and the enlightenment of the people, increasing the possibility of them venturing into the stars in the future…

The divine positions that can be born in each world are extremely precious, because the origin is finite; if more is condensed, one loses one's own.

Unless their own people give back.

If they all disappear without a trace, like the goddess of wealth, they will be plundered by other powerful beings or the world.

A world capable of giving birth to gods is not necessarily powerful; it may even be weaker.

This brings us to some very profound knowledge of "planetology".

But one thing is certain: the world will of the Vizel world has only been taking in and not giving out for so many years…

It has long since become incredibly powerful.

However, throughout history, the great wizards have never complained about this.

The purpose is to create a ninth-level plane!
There are also differences between different planes.

Some planes and their rulers are both at level seven, while others are at level eight in terms of plane and level seven in terms of ruler.

It is like an ancient and fundamental place such as the abyss, hell, and the underworld, and is even rated as level nine.

Vizel is still a bit too young to achieve a ninth-level wizarding plane.

Therefore, the task is arduous and the road ahead is long!
……

Inside the alchemy room of the mage's mansion.

Everyone went to rest.

Roy, however, was still pondering his newly acquired treasure, a gift from the world of Egris: the Alchemy Godhead.

"What can such a thing be used for?"

With this in mind, Roy sought out Freya.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"follow me."

Roy called out and led her into the alchemy room.

"Look at your current level of alchemy..."

Let's make a copy of this and see.

Roy randomly picked a potion recipe and, as if setting a question, began to test Freya.

Freya took the formula information and examined it carefully, her brows furrowing slightly: "Fantasia potion?"

This is a drug used to aid meditation, and it has some hallucinogenic effects, mainly due to impurities in the suspension.

Therefore, the key to refining it lies in the purification process; a slight mistake can turn a perfectly good meditation potion into a hallucinogenic drug.

However, some apprentices have specifically tried to make this kind of thing, and some of the materials needed for it come from the toxins secreted by a certain toad-like monster.

Although she didn't quite understand Roy's meaning, she still skillfully took out the crucible and began preparations. At the same time, she sent a message to the ghost maid in the mansion, instructing her to bring the materials.

Soon after, a small pot of a light green, sticky paste-like substance was cooked.

Simply steep it in warm water, and you'll have the Fantasia potion Roy wanted.

However, Roy took it, glanced at it briefly, and commented: "The impurity content exceeds the standard by 13%, so the quality is below average."

That's barely passing.

Freya's cheeks flushed slightly, and she remained silent without saying anything more.

But inwardly, he sighed with sorrow.

She didn't blame Roy for being strict; she only blamed herself for being too untalented.

Despite being a level two wizard, he still couldn't handle these things very well.

For alchemists, wizarding rank only provides basic conditions such as physical attributes, lifespan, and mental strength.

On this basis, one still needs to acquire more knowledge and experience through a long life, gradually integrating them to achieve the status of a [Master Alchemist]. While she was feeling down, Roy suddenly drew a [transmutation circle], placed the materials on it, and began to activate his talent called [Elemental Separation].

Its effect is to separate a single element from a mixture.

Although it only uses conventional materials, it precisely addresses the key challenge in refining Fantasia potions, transforming the originally unprocessed materials into high-purity substances of over 99.9999%.

A little while later, with the help of magic, Roy finished quickly and well.

******
"This is a work of excellent quality... no, it's a masterpiece, the impurity content..."

It contains almost no impurities!

At Roy's prompting, Freya did a quick check, and then, with a hint of shock, suddenly realized something.

She didn't understand. The steps and techniques were almost the same, so why did Lord Roy's creations look different?
But I soon realized that this is the difference between people.

Roy himself was secretly shocked.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that the effect provided by the Alchemy Godhead, "When performing all alchemical operations, the corresponding ability level +4", seemed to include all the black iron-level talents he had originally acquired!
Because they all began to exhibit divine effects, and were no longer merely the soul abilities they used.

Thinking of this, he reached out and touched the potion that Freya had just concocted, his palm covering it.

In an instant, the sticky, pale green paste-like substance faded and became colorless.

"It really works even on level one potions."

By observing this small example, it's clear that most other alchemical talents also received corresponding improvements.

Of course, due to their different characteristics, the effect of this "+4" will definitely vary depending on the talent.

However, Roy didn't have time to explore these before he started trying out another ability.

He attempted to activate his divine power, unleashing a golden, mysterious rune resembling an "arcane mark," which, like a candle flame, drifted towards Freya.

At this moment, Freya was examining the finished product that had just been refined, and was amazed by its transformation. Suddenly, she felt a warm, magical force touch her body and then quickly merge into it.

She looked up in surprise, only to hear Roy instruct, "Don't panic, just focus on sensing this power."

Freya calmed herself and began to do as instructed.

To my surprise, I soon discovered that some knowledge inexplicably surfaced in my mind, and as if driven by instinct, I noticed faint points of light, like stars shining through the sky.

"That's... [separation of elements]?"

She murmured to herself, calling out the name of this innate ability.

"Let's try refining the Fantasia potion."

Roy gave the order.

Freya herself was also a bit curious, so she quickly did as she was told.

As a result, after a while, it was completed even faster and better.

Without waiting for Roy's instructions, she took the initiative to test it herself and was surprised to find that the quality had reached excellent or above, and the amount of impurities that were extremely difficult to deal with in the past had been reduced to about 1%.

This is already a very good result, something she could hardly achieve in the past.

"What power did you just grant me? It felt a bit like divine magic!"

Freya, realizing what was happening, asked with a hint of shock.

"That is indeed divine magic, divine magic from the realm of alchemy!"

Roy told her frankly.

He didn't mention the [Alchemy Godhead], but simply said, "During my time in Egris, I studied some temple materials and learned about divine magic and descent."

In the future, we might be able to develop some alchemical aids or similar products to assist in alchemy.

"Like an angel descending?"

"Yes, in your opinion, how should it be designed?"

Freya was startled, and soon she couldn't help but dream about it.

"It would be great if it were a projection or avatar, so it could help with chores sometimes..."

However, while ordinary apprentices can perform these tasks, they still need to engage in precise operations like the one just described to improve their skills and expand their knowledge base.

"You're right, improving capabilities and expanding boundaries are more important."

Anyone can do odd jobs, but this role is irreplaceable.

Roy started discussing it with him.

……

That night, in the study of the mansion.

Roy sat at his desk, reading by the light of the bright magic crystal lamp.

He turned the pages of the book with one hand and gently stroked the shiny, wonderfully soft black cat, Domi, with the other, while his gaze followed his thoughts across the pages.

There are no densely packed rune formulas or rigorous textual descriptions here; it's just like a bedtime fairy tale, mentioning a being called "Nefera."

This is a translation of an academic expression, suitable for small nature fairies, such as "Nise" or "Sprite".

In the various folk tales he had read before, there were also stories of little forest spirits who liked to play pranks, hiding farmers' hoes in tree holes and then quietly putting them back before dawn.

The village women said that if they found that the milk had inexplicably decreased, it must be because those tiny creatures, no bigger than the palm of a hand, had sneaked into the kitchen to steal some.

To be precise, it is a being similar to the various fairies she had previously created, but more like Thumbelina, possessing true wisdom, and even its own temperament, preferences, and ideals.

Nefera shares similarities with them, but also has distinct differences.

First, its body shape is closer to Thumbelina, but it has two wings on its back, making it resemble a little fairy.

Then there's temperament; relatively mild-mannered and introverted. Although possessing exceptional intelligence, it's mostly manifested in academic pursuits, as they enjoy researching and guiding other intelligent beings in their studies.

Some of them may still retain the mischievous habits of fairy-like creatures, but they are used to pose questions and challenges...

In essence, it belongs to the "Holy Spirit" of the angelic level, rather than the "human spirit" of Thumbelina or the "butterfly spirit" of Palio the Fairy.

Having previously crafted Thumbelina Maya, Roy is now quite confident in crafting such little sprites.

But his current goal is not to meticulously manufacture one or two finished products, but rather to develop a relatively stable biological template and then mass-produce them.

Therefore, he consulted many temple texts and classified it as a level zero little angel.

The religious texts of Eglis mention that angels guide lost travelers with gentle light.

The shepherd saw a hazy glow in the blizzard and followed it to find a warm cave.

As he looked at the text, Roy was suddenly moved and picked up his pen to write down the fleeting inspiration that had just passed by.

After that, he spent more than a month in the tower busy with this.

Finally, driven by divine power.

It was right in Roy's palm.

A fairy-like creature wearing an exquisite dress and with ribbons of light resembling flowing wings growing from its back was born.

She was curled up, but suddenly seemed to be awakened by some mysterious force. She rubbed her eyes, supported herself with Roy's palms, and stood up.

She was only the size of Thumbelina, but under the light of the Eye of Hermes, she shone with a dazzling golden light.

It was actually a gold-level soul, a being possessing superior divinity and wisdom.

******
"Success!"

Upon seeing this, a semi-transparent illusory panel appeared before Roy's eyes, revealing a brand new recipe.

Nefera the Angel (Holy Spirit)

(Gold-grade Soul Recipe)

Spiritual composition ratio:
Bestiality: 10.3456%
Human nature: 25.4567%
Divinity: 64.1977%
Attribute configuration table:

Instinct: Weak
Mood: Medium
Emotion: Strong
Intelligence: Extremely high

Divinity: Strong

Everything went as expected; it was a Holy Spirit-level being who had reached the "angel" level.

At this stage, people no longer care much about material or spiritual forms.

The body created by divine power naturally possesses a certain degree of sanctification. Between life and death, it can also reincarnate in the divine realm, belonging to a specific domain and serving as a messenger of a specific deity.

Now, Roy is using open-source materials to find the recipe and applying his own understanding to extract certain legendary elements from the "legend" and turn them into the core of its realization.

That kind of "belief" or "cognition" from intelligent beings constitutes an important part of their core soul.

At this moment, Roy even had a slight feeling about the ultimate meaning of "creation"—the creation of the soul.

This is actually a kind of past ultimate.

The ultimate goal of biogeography!

"Oh! How rude of me! Greetings, Father God!"

After the little elf awoke, she quickly accepted the memories that surfaced in her mind, and with a soft, sweet voice, she curtsied.

“Very good, Nefera…”

"You are the second intelligent spirit I created, so I will name you 'Genita,' taking the name of my 'second daughter.'"

Roy said to her with a hint of relief on his face.

"Thank you, Father God, for bestowing this name upon me!"

"Gernita said happily."

……

Soon after, Grenita greeted Domi the black cat, and they started playing together happily.

Like Thumbelina, these little creatures created by Roy possess a high degree of intelligence, as well as intense emotions of sincerity and fervor.

Because it is the Holy Spirit, it doesn't have as many twists and turns and cunning schemes as humans.

Only a balanced 1:1:1 formula, like the human soul, can lead to the result of the same rice nourishing a hundred different people.

For this little sprite, his entire soul is filled with nothing but a passion for scholarship and for the master who created him.

Moreover, the biggest difference between it and Thumbelina Maya is that in its understanding, Roy is a god, not an ordinary being!

Therefore, the place where she was born is heaven, the black cat Domi is the archangel, and Freya and the others are servants of God.

Soon after, guided by Domi, she learned about the existence of the "Lilliputian Kingdom" in the backyard, and about Thumbelina Maya and her subjects.

When the people of the "Lilliputian Kingdom" learned of Grenita's identity, they greeted her respectfully and warmly, and then quickly became friends with her.

“_…”

"Hmm, Litos's status has been reduced by one..."

Three...two...one...

One minus one...

It equals seven!
Huh!

The gemfish Litos floated in the air beside them.

It was too big; in Lilliput, it was a giant monster, a “giant whale,” so there was no way to play with it, and it could only listlessly blow bubbles by itself.

As a result, they secretly calculated and came to a surprising conclusion.

My status has returned to seventh!

This astonishing fact lifted its spirits and made it even more excited.

Roy didn't have time to worry about the little ones; he continued to focus on refining.

At this point, we must mention the gains from the world of Agris.

He obtained many sacred artifacts imbued with divine power from the temple. These were essentially objects on which human spiritual intentions were entrusted, and were a kind of "sacred relics".

One can extract spiritual ideas and pure spirituality from it.

Through the process of refining the essence, the wandering soul and spirituality are broken down and recombined to form new raw materials for the soul.

This already has a strong "cyclical" characteristic of manual operation.

This magical universe does not have a great cycle of reincarnation, but it has many gods and spellcasters such as great wizards and legendary mages who are capable of performing such operations.

Various divine kingdoms exist, and there are also angels who arrange the afterlife and the reincarnation of the dead.

In a sense, Grenita's perception was indeed correct.

Having acquired godhood, Roy received a powerful "+4" boost, making him even more adept at the various operations he already possessed.

He extracted the spiritual energy from these objects and created more than 10 Nefera angels.

As a result, the mansion became incredibly lively.

Praise be to our Father God!

The little ones are sweet-looking and have lovely voices.

However, problems soon arose.

How to arrange these small items became a problem.

"I allow you to stay in the library temporarily and learn various kinds of knowledge..."

Once they have mastered their skills, they can be sent out to help guide human apprentices!

Roy thought for a moment and then made arrangements.

Then he summoned Freya: "You will temporarily serve as their first teacher and give them lessons!"

This kind of Holy Spirit's soul is almost born to learn alchemical knowledge.

Soon, everyone felt an instinctive liking.

As the angel Nefera began her studies, Roy sensed a mysterious golden light gathering around her.

It turns out that it was their weak yet pure souls that gave birth to "faith".

These things that they create themselves are naturally their own followers, and the areas they involve simultaneously include "creation" and "alchemy".

Because he possessed the Alchemy Godhead, the latter's absorption was much smoother.

Roy thought for a moment and decided not to collect them, but to give them all back to nurture these angel spirits.

Although these powers of faith are weak, they are pure and reliable.

Furthermore, what he will be able to obtain from billions of living beings in the future will surely enable him to reach the level of a high-ranking angel.

After completing these tasks, it quickly became early June.

"Your Excellency Kirick, good news!"

Your task reward redemption application has been approved!

Diev from the academic affairs office finally contacted him and notified him of the settlement of the Eglis World Mission.

"Oh?"

Roy perked up when he heard this.

Because his previous application involved some valuable resources.

Surprisingly, the college was quite generous and readily agreed.

"That's right, you requested that everything be settled with godhood fragments. Three specific godhood fragments from the knowledge domain are already prepared for you..."

"Okay, I'll end my vacation right away and return to Akademia!"

Roy immediately said.

Although after obtaining godhood, the various restrictions on leave and stay time when returning to the Witch Tower seemed to disappear.

However, for the sake of various advancements, one still needs to travel to different planes and worlds to obtain more Origin.
