Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 834 Digesting the Gains (4-in-1)

Scientific findings, the extraction of their essence, and another related but currently undiscovered talent...

After confirming these three major gains, Roy's thoughts quickly shifted to the following.

"The Faretor has mutinied, and its base and associated forces are still wreaking havoc on the surface of the Wolf world. Should we send troops to eliminate them?"

"No need, for now, focus on defense."

"Yes!"

After the conversation, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the golden figure.

"Lord Roy, why not take this opportunity to launch a swift counterattack and completely eliminate the Faletor?"

As expected, Nisha inside the tower quickly noticed something was wrong and asked questions in confusion.

"It's alright. The Faretor's betrayal is under my control. I left a seed of [Mechanical Life] within its core, which can be countered in an instant."

Let them cause trouble; it will only create the illusion that we have suffered losses.

"what!"

Nisha was genuinely surprised to hear Roy's words.

"In that case, the loss..."

However, after saying that sentence subconsciously, he suddenly stopped.

She quickly came up with something.

"Actually, there wasn't much of a loss. It's just that the wizards under my command and the werewolf natives will be busy."

As long as the development of the Farrell is limited to the second stage, or if it is countered by using captured items, the advantage can be maintained.

With four warships against one, and the wizard tower controlling the situation from behind, it's entirely within our control.

If the Cions don't give up, they might even remotely transmit souls to create high-level units like Arbiters, Thunderbringers, or Psionic Warriors, allowing them to reap another harvest!

"What you said is only one aspect."

To Nisha's surprise once again, Roy admitted it, but there was more to come.

"What I really need is a safe situation where I can advance or retreat as needed."

"How do you say that?"

"Currently, the situation in the entire Osis plane is that there are orc true gods, and not just one, but multiple."

They can all pose a huge threat to me!

Although I have a level six archmage above me, and I can single-handedly control the entire situation, what if a mage comes to cause trouble, or other abyssal demons or hellish devils also want to cause trouble?
Furthermore, the Interstellar Alliance is backed by a god-like civilization; I have no desire to directly confront any space fortresses or neutron star-like beings!

These are the top achievements of a god-level civilization, and they are also the oldest relics, the basic combat units.

I've heard that some modern technologies, like dimensional reduction attacks and law-based weapons, are incredibly powerful.

Just from the name, you can tell that he is absolutely no less than a true god or a level five or six great wizard.

It's true that I volunteered and came here on my own initiative, but I didn't do it just to send my men to fight in a meat grinder battle!
Moreover, in Roy's view, the Seven Towers Alliance was not a legitimate country or civilization, but merely a group of interest created by great wizards.

Most of the oldest and strongest beings were already at the level of ancestral great wizards, with their own divine kingdoms and subordinates.

That's like their own "ship".

They are the rulers of the Star Sea, while I am merely a rising newcomer.

No matter how nicely they put it, someone like me is ready to sacrifice myself at any time.

I've earned my value through hard work, and I should at least sacrifice myself in a legendary battle to defeat enemies of demigod level or higher, so it won't be a waste.

Each wizard is the primary person in charge of their own faction, so they are responsible for their own "ship" and the troops under their command.

Moreover, from the perspective of making a fortune quietly, launching a series of attacks is really too much of a show of being low-key.

Even if they aren't sacrificed, they might still be left with all sorts of dirty, tiring, and difficult jobs.

In order not to reveal his Eye of Hermes, Roy didn't even want to disclose the spoils, nor did he give the Alliance too many hints.

For scientific and technological achievements and evaluation results, just give half and keep the other half.

There's no need to rush to report information about new weapons like the Thunder Messenger and the Psionic Messenger.

Trust in the wisdom of other wizards; if they encounter the same problem, they will find a way to solve it themselves.

Nisha was speechless after hearing this.

After a long pause, he said, "You're starting to become cunning and shrewd too."

But this is natural.

Roy is still very young and fresh among the great wizards, but among the first-level wizards, he is already in his twilight years.

……

Ultimately, Roy selectively reported the situation, and the Seven Towers Alliance learned that he had spared no expense and successfully eliminated the enemy's main force through a sneak attack.

However, at the same time, due to their first contact with a Level 4 technological civilization, they suffered an unprecedented blow.

Wolf World is thus threatened by the Faretol.

In addition, eight third-class main warships and more than 200 escort ships fled into space.

Although the Sionians no longer have a flagship, they can still reorganize using advanced quantum communication technology and wage guerrilla warfare across the entire galaxy.

If the situation inside the planet were stable, we could proceed steadily and calmly, but now, we are somewhat overwhelmed.

Therefore, we can only temporarily accept the reality of being stuck here.

Therefore, the alliance not only did not withdraw troops from his side, but also agreed to provide reinforcements, giving people and supplies, and all kinds of support.

Just as Roy had expected, he was still quite valuable, and the battle here needed a powerful wizard to stabilize the situation.

On the other hand, the situation on the other defeated planets had deteriorated to the point that they were no longer of any importance.

The Seven Towers Alliance cannot afford to invest more resources in those worlds, so they respond passively to all requests for help and cries for assistance.

While closely monitoring the battle situation on all sides, Roy was also busy sorting and clearing out the spoils.

The results showed that the collection of scientific achievements was quite substantial.

Type III and IV civilizations have already begun to explore antimatter creation, antimatter annihilation, antigravity energy fields, high-density lattice matter, ultra-dense lattice matter, and so on.

Some of these techniques are also used in the arcane and sorcery systems. For example, a small-scale "gravity spell" can be cast at the first level.

However, the scientific field also has its advantages, namely, it can rely on external objects to build large-scale equipment and can replicate various things.

Furthermore, it can delve deeper into the underlying principles to achieve a very high level of gravity multiplier.

Roy plans to do some research and create some gravity training rooms or something similar.

The same applies to products such as antimatter bombs and energy furnaces.

However, he was more interested in something else: the "weapons of conviction" unique to the Cions!
******
"Weapons of Faith..."

This combination of soul and psychic abilities, yet also involving the generation of matter, has similar achievements in the field of "creation techniques."

That is what is known as a holy relic.

This is the condensation of thoughts and ideas, also known as the thought body substance.

This is also related to the results of spiritual materialization, which is undoubtedly at the fourth level!

However, just like the "prophecy" in the realm of divine arts, which can be performed by a first-level priest by relying on the power of the gods, arcane arts, witchcraft, and science and technology all have their own unique principles for achieving the same result and their own focus on development.

The world inhabited by the Osis, and their own souls, possess some unique characteristics. In their realm, reaching the level of an Awakened One allows for a preliminary grasp of these characteristics!

This also means that only level zero is required!

After hearing Roy's account, Artia, Nisa, and the others were quite incredulous.

Freya, however, said, "This is the charm of system collision, and it is also another hidden benefit that can be obtained from interdimensional conquest."

Let me give you an example, and you'll understand.

Gold is very precious in the eyes of ordinary people, but Lord Roy can create it at any time.

But this still can't compare to the depths of the universe, where in some places, massive chunks of gold, on the scale of entire planets, are formed naturally.

Nisha was surprised, but then she realized: "For example, water is precious in the desert, but it's plentiful by lakes and rivers?"

Freya said, "That's about right, that's roughly the idea."

"That's right. In any case, I've found the 'gold mine' and 'water source' of 'creation art,' enabling me to create a large number of 'spiritual materialized' products."

Roy nodded slightly and said.

The [Extracted Essence] that I just obtained seems to be related to it.

He plans to try it himself.

……

A few days later, at the end of June.

Inside the alchemy room of the Nehebur Wizard Tower.

Roy activated the carefully adjusted "alchemy array" in front of the obsidian array platform.

The formation at this moment has been designed by him as a magic array for "forging a weapon of faith".

As the name suggests, it is specifically designed for this product.

Putting aside the complex new formations, Roy also performed an unprecedented operation during this alchemy session.

He chanted a spell similar to "Sacrifice Enhancement," connecting it to his "Alchemy Godhood," while simultaneously scattering a mysterious substance resembling gold dust into the air.

The action of seemingly scattering salt from the air is not the key point; the key point is the gold dust, which possesses extraordinary properties.

Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, its information is revealed, demonstrating the purpose of Roy's current act of scattering it into the transmutation circle.

"The Essence of Belief (Level 4)..."

Quality: 41
The spiritual essence extracted from the Sionians' Thunder Messengers, Psionic Messengers, and Arbitrators is refined into the Essence of Faith based on its original attributes.

This item can be used to enhance the Sionians' "Weapons of Faith" and is the best material for upgrading the base material.

(Note: Refined products are advanced achievements of "Magic Crystal Science". Each dust particle is the purest crystal of the soul's essence. Through positive manipulation of the essence, the basic level and additional attributes of the item can be enhanced.)

The success rate of this operation is determined by both the current alchemy level and the quality of the object being enhanced. If enhancement fails, the object will be downgraded...

Contrary to previous assumptions that Thunder Messengers, Psionicists, and the like were purely souls, after defeating them, some ashes-like residue would appear, just as in legends where souls also have weight.

Roy collected the residue and, making full use of his newly acquired talent, [Extract Essence], obtained this substance.

Although, according to the information seen by the Eye of Hermes, a failed enhancement would result in a downgrade.

However, he silently estimated that he possessed the [Alchemy Godhood]. When he used it, all alchemical operations would increase his corresponding ability level by 4, which was already a powerful rank comparable to a sixth-level high god.

Although there is no empirical evidence, numerous pieces of evidence suggest that one's soul origin level is level six, or even higher.

Therefore, a level 4 Archmage's alchemy ability gains an additional 4...

While the final level may not be as extreme as level eight, reaching the upper limit of one's own soul is still a piece of cake.

This alone is enough to easily handle level four products.

Even when I didn't have these abilities, I had accidentally created level 5 matter and even level 6 conceptual weapons. It's impossible that I can't do it now.

Furthermore, the title of "Triple Greatness" was not earned for nothing.

Although its use requires divine power, the success rate is greatly increased if it is used.

All of this determined that I could confidently and boldly try it out.

As for whether or not to use these abilities, and when to use them, that falls under the purview of [Alchemy Intuition].

This innate ability was not originally intended to directly affect the refining of level four substances.

However, the Alchemy Divine Essence can also provide a boost to it.

Under the influence of this divine artifact, its new upper limit is the level of divinity itself!

Therefore, at this moment, Roy is the god of alchemy, possessing the intuition of a true god!

With the help of so many powerful abilities, Roy quickly mastered the basics of "Weapon of Faith" and forged a longsword formed from his spirit.

"Faith Weapon - Kolimathum - Lumen (Level 1)..."

Quality: 19
A spiritually materialized weapon forged with the power of belief, capable of freely transforming between spirit and matter.

Attack: 31~56
Special Effect 1: Adds the "Conviction" trait, increasing damage by 2500 (requires an Awakened)...

Roy forged this thing entirely according to the Sions' blueprints, without adding his own extra touches.

It seems that due to the special nature of the weapon itself, it is indeed not easy to add other power systems to it.

Even so, the characteristics and offensive power of this weapon are still quite formidable.

Moreover, after Roy's "salt-sprinkling" transformation, which gave it a refined enhancement.

The sword in his hand broke through several levels in quick succession.

"Faith Weapon - Kolimathum - Lumen (Tier 3/4)..."

Quality: 39
Attack: 3162~5623
Special Effect 1: Adds the "Conviction" trait, increasing damage by 250000 (requires an Awakened)...

The attack presented by the Eye of Hermes is roughly equivalent to the unactivated mental attribute strength of the corresponding level. This value can be used to manipulate magic power like casting a spell.

The corresponding concept is a special kind of "belief".

This is the essence of the Cions' "weapon of faith," and also the most profound part of their soul and spirit.

By extracting and utilizing the essence, Roy easily achieved a method of reproduction.

******
Shortly after.

Inside the Nehebur Wizard Tower.

Inside the training room, bathed in bright magical light, a handsome young man stood with a lightsaber in hand, leaning diagonally across his body.

A tall, beautiful female knight stood by his side, her beautiful eyes shining brightly as she gazed at him.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the boy's lightsaber left a trail of afterimages, silently slicing through the alloy pillar before him.

In an instant, the stake broke.

It was actually cleaved in two by the powerful energy.

"I see, the power of gods can also simulate belief, which fits the conditions..."

However, ordinary souls would likely need to undergo some mental training to change their soul status and energy patterns in order to fully unleash the power of this weapon.

Moreover, its extremely high values ​​are condensed within the weapon itself.

Only physical and spiritual objects that come into contact with the target can be attacked; the scope of contact is extremely narrow.

This manifests as a powerful cutting ability.

This is similar to how strong pressure concentrated in a small area can form a sharp point like a nail.

The pressure value will become very large.

Roy recounted the events casually, while the tower spirit Celine recorded these test experiences as supplementary explanations for the refined product.

"In any case, its power as a close-combat weapon is beyond doubt."

Unfortunately, it was destined to be limited to this form of melee weapon.

At this moment, Freya walked out from the other side. Following Roy's instructions, she also completed the forging of a level one "Weapon of Faith".

The difference is that what she possesses is merely a semi-finished product, without any additional "belief" attribute.

But unlike the lightsaber in Roy's hand, it was a long-handled weapon similar to a broadsword, with a handle that was over a meter long and a shaped light blade that was also over a meter long, totaling more than two meters.

In theory, this weapon can be forged into any shape, only limited by its size and energy density.

……

Time goes by.

As the days went by, more and more wizards in the Nehebul Wizard Tower mastered the "weapon of faith".

During this time, Roy discovered that the difficulty in manufacturing this thing could be divided into two parts.

The simple part is the creation of the basic form; it's not difficult at all to simply have the basic "belief weapon" form.

It is only equivalent to the first level of forging.

After creating a forging lathe similar to an industrial machine tool, he further reduced its level to zero, so that even ordinary apprentices could try it out step by step.

However, then they wouldn't be called blacksmiths, but merely operators.

Next is the enchantment damage of activating "Conviction", which is essentially similar to turning spiritual power into "Spiritual Thorn", only with stronger constraints, higher multipliers, and even reaching the point of condensing into a physical form.

Wizards usually possess a method called "Mental Spikes," which is a direct mental attack.

However, this is only equivalent to about 10% of the skill module, and the multiplier and final power are pitifully low.

For example, a wizard with 10 levels of mental strength would only have enough power to kill a mortal.

If one has developed a little bit of mental strength for defense, or has other treasures to protect them, this method will not work.

Using "Animation" on ropes or using ice and fire as elemental magic to activate spell models can result in spell multipliers of 200% to 400% or more; this is what can be called a true spell.

However, the "belief weapons" created by using scientific methods to materialize the spiritual essence that can only be mastered at the fourth level and applying it to the field of "forging" are essentially extremely powerful products, just like scientific weapons such as laser swords, high-frequency weapons, or anti-ship swords. The attack modules that can be endowed with spiritual power have a casting multiplier of an astonishing 5000%.

Of course, the exaggerated figures it ultimately achieves are obtained through attack range, physical performance, and so on.

After actual testing, phenomena such as "wear" and "bent edge" similar to those of thin yet sharp blades also appeared.

This is essentially a loss of spiritual energy, which, on a material level, weakens the offensive power of "belief".

Fortunately, one can replenish its energy at any time by using one's own spirit.

During this period, Roy mainly focused on popularizing forging methods and refining awakening potions.

He did this not to turn everyone into psychic beings like the Cions, but to at least meet the conditions for wielding and using this weapon.

Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to get their hands on it and use it immediately.

……

Another day.

On the land of Wolf World, werewolf chieftain Homer and others rode on cool-looking "near-ground flying vehicles," speeding along like the wind.

This thing sounds fancy, but in essence, it's just like an anti-gravity motorcycle that can fly close to the ground.

In addition to the "Weapon of Faith," Roy also acquired a number of technological technologies and products. After being inspected by the Eye of Hermes and skillfully modified, they were all marked with the mark of his legion and then distributed to the ground forces.

The werewolves' lives have improved. Just a few years ago, they were in a development stage similar to that of a primitive tribe. In just a few years, they have anti-gravity motorcycles, aerospace-grade alloy armor, ship-slaying swords, plasma guns, high-energy laser cannons...

Everything was used.

Roy had previously complained that the equipment used by the wizards' armies was like a "hodgepodge of different countries' equipment."

When it came to his turn, the same thing happened.

Since we couldn't just throw away the captured items and various experimental subjects, we couldn't just leave them to rot.

Except for some elite troops who have a unified equipment requirement and use the best equipment, other second-line troops, reserves, mercenaries, escort troops, etc., do not need to do so.

Therefore, werewolves are just like the younger siblings who are not favored at home, wearing the equipment that their older brothers and sisters have discarded.

"Boss, there's a Prism Crab squad ahead, and they seem to have spotted us!"

"Everyone, spread out and prepare for battle!"

At that moment, Homo, standing at the front of the motorcycle team, received a notification from his scouts through the "Unigorin Terminal" pressed against his ear.

He immediately relayed the order.

A moment later, a group of enemy mechanical troops, several meters in size and resembling steel crabs, appeared on the wasteland.

Those were creations from the Falletor base, which bombarded us with beams of light from afar.

Homo and his men dodged quickly, weaving nimbly among the mechanical troops, drawing their swords and slashing.

Some people carried shoulder cannons and launched counterattacks with various firepower weapons.

In no time, he had smashed it to pieces, and then, humming a tune, he skillfully disassembled the parts and picked up the junk.

The Wizard Tower has been collecting this junk for a long time. Recently, they've stopped farming and hunting, and are living off fighting.

******
"Antimatter bomb test..."

The 78th test begins!
"Pippi, attack!"

At the same time, on the other side.

On the same land of the Wolf world.

It is also within the controlled area below the Nehebur Wizard Tower.

The golden dragon incarnation, Freya, Artedia, and others sat on a magic carpet in the air, watching the executors prepare for various tests below, and then gave the order to begin the experiment.

Peer, Ingnium, and Zaif and the others sat on similar alchemical artifacts, observing from a distance.

Domi the black cat was also beside Roy, riding on the back of the gem fish Litos, its tail swaying as it watched with excitement and curiosity.

Beneath the shuttle-shaped fighter jet in front, a special object, about the size of a fist and resembling a plump pink lump of flesh, was suspended.

After the order to attack was given, its body suddenly glowed with eye-shaped light, like animation lighting effects.

Immediately afterwards, its fist-sized body expanded as if inflated, quickly reaching the size of a basketball.

It turned out to be a chubby, somewhat cute artificial creature, Pipit!
This is the "Pipette Series" alchemical bomb carrier, which Roy had already begun to master more than 310 years ago when he had only just mastered the basics of artificial skin and artificial meat.

These adorable creatures from the Pipit family are getting cuter and cuter, and they've even grown chubby little wings.

It detached from the suspension device and, using magical flight, whooshed downwards in a flash.

"#!"

Its forehead showed a bulging vein expression similar to that of the gemfish Litos, as if it was gathering all its strength and charging forward relentlessly.

Suddenly, the "black sphere of light" spread out, and a silent explosion occurred.

The target of the attack was an iron tower that was about 20 meters high.

Above the iron tower, there is a steel structure with a diameter of more than ten meters.

That's a disc-shaped spaceship.

It was not a model or a test machine, but genuine combat equipment captured from the fleet.

When attacked, it even activated its full-power shield.

Like a collapsing void, the disc-shaped spaceship was instantly swallowed up by half.

In the terrifying area that seemed capable of devouring everything, the incredibly sturdy outer shell of the spaceship vanished instantly, and the strange alloy, which possessed excellent physical and magical properties, was completely destroyed in an instant!
"As expected of a creation of level four technology, even the coating I added using the 'Diamond Skin' magic was destroyed in an instant!"

Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"The various alloy products in the laboratory, as well as the protective magic, are all ineffective!"

Freya took out a small notebook and wrote something down in it.

Although she already had access to very advanced high-tech creations, such as various electronic devices.

However, according to her personal habits, she still prefers to record inspiration and necessary data in this primitive and simple way.

Below, Pierre and the others were also discussing amongst themselves, their faces beaming with excitement.

"As expected of the Great Wizard!"

"They actually turned antimatter bombs into something magical!"

"This is not only an improvement for him, but also a blessing for us!"

This is the biggest achievement this year, besides the "weapon of belief".

Roy used a method of reverse engineering to completely dismantle the antimatter bombs possessed by the Sionians and then made them his own.

After several more months of continuous investment in testing, it finally moved into the practical application stage.

"In fact, the Seven Towers Alliance also possesses similar achievements..."

But Lord Roy is right, it's better to have your own than to have your own parents' resources!

The information obtained through exchange is not only difficult and obscure, but may also contain various omissions or incomplete gaps. It cannot be immediately absorbed into one's mind; rather, one must learn, research, and master it on one's own.

It has to be digested and absorbed before it becomes your own!

"That's great, we can get it slowly too..."

As long as you earn enough Wizard Coins and unlock the necessary permissions, you'll eventually get it all!

The relationship between Roy and his wizards is like that between a suzerain state and its vassal states.

Some technology and industry transfers are inevitable.

This is much more cost-effective than exchanging it from the Seven Towers Alliance.

Upon returning, Roy ordered Celine to organize the relevant data from the previous tests, but instead instructed her to package and send it to the Seven Towers Alliance as spoils of war.

He was still very willing to hand over items that had some value but weren't crucial.

Given his status as a great wizard, the Seven Towers Alliance couldn't possibly take his benefits for nothing; they would ultimately offer something in return.

However, the wizards have different areas of expertise, and the Wizard Tower's practice is to settle accounts directly through a buyout, rather than providing any technical patents or intellectual property protection like the Arcane Empire.

This is due to the differences in their respective systems.

Roy didn't care about all that; he just hoped to exchange this level-four technology data for some of the same level as reserves.

After finishing this task, he sat down in the high-backed chair in the central command room and instructed, "Bring up the 'Holographic Battlefield' and report on the situation in outer space."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wolf World appeared as a projection of a planet, suspended in the air.

Some shimmering points of light appeared in the surrounding space.

"These are all areas where abnormal reactions have been detected. The Cions have indeed been active in the surrounding areas, and there are even probes secretly mining minerals on the far side of the surrounding planets."

However, their purpose should be to replenish some repair and preparation materials and to build up their strength.

"So far, the Faretol still relies more heavily on the ground..."

Celine began to explain.

"Their commander is rather cautious!"

Roy nodded secretly, but he also understood that this person was truly terrified of him.

The fall of a flagship is truly a major setback and loss for a Level 4 civilization.

Because to them, this thing is like a battleship or aircraft carrier of a level zero civilization; the entire country can only build a handful, at most a dozen or so.

The god-like civilization above them might not care about such a small loss, even at great cost.

But the people of Sion are responsible for Sion themselves.

Therefore, instead of rushing to retaliate as they had anticipated, they retreated into a state of submission and humiliation.

Roy was quite happy about it.

"However, speaking of flagship..."

The Adversaire's main engines and the core of its artificial intelligence were dismantled.

Thinking of this, he had a slight thought and began to consider how to repair and utilize these things.
