Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 839 Entrusted Mission (4-in-1)

"My intuition was right, Behemoth has indeed fallen!"

The orcs kept the news a secret, refusing to announce the death, in order to use His fame to intimidate foreign enemies.

But the wizarding civilization wasn't without level six archmages, mages, interstellar alliances, and powerful enemies from all sides...

This is not a long-term solution!

Roy put himself in the shoes of the beastmen and thought about it; they couldn't help but feel that this was too difficult.

The root cause is that they missed out on the benefits of previous expansions.

Various waves of colonial plunder, arcane revolutions, and wars of the gods...

In the previous few eras, which spanned tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, the entire magical universe was once very lively.

Level 5 powerhouses, comparable to true gods, sprang up like mushrooms after rain, along with all sorts of divine fragments and divine power.

Then, through natural selection, a large number of Level 6 individuals were created, a small number of Level 7 individuals, and an even smaller number of Level 8 individuals...

However, once the tide of the times is missed, that opportunity is lost. Although many brilliant talents have sporadically emerged in later generations, they have never regained the glory of the past.

"Having failed to seize that opportunity to become a top expert, I can only seek refuge with someone."

For example, Dior, the king of all beasts in the Beast Garden, is an eighth-level powerhouse born in the old era, the god-king of all wild beasts.

Freya, upon learning this, offered this assessment.

"But at that level, there is no shortage of strong individuals in Heaven, Hell, and Vizel and Achinila."

30 years ago, His divine power greatly diminished due to the changing times. As a result, all races gradually emerged from the wilderness, leaving behind the primitive era of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and began to cultivate the land with slash and fire.

The living space for mammals has been further compressed.

From that time onward, it was almost certain that they would fade from the historical stage, decline to the level of a supreme god, or even perish completely.

Roy said.

"It was against this backdrop that Behemoth was tested and seriously injured, ultimately succumbing to his injuries."

He had fought and killed several great wizards, magic gods, great demons, and great devils, and was infamous for his evil deeds.

This has indeed deterred all sides for centuries.

But now, 300 years have passed since I rose to power, and if we include the Battle of Knight, which was already 500 years ago, it's a total of 800 years.

That fearsome reputation isn't enough anymore.

A deep understanding of this background, combined with previous rumors and even one's own personal experience.

Roy gradually came to believe it was true.

……

After that, Roy maintained contact with the Seven Towers Alliance and kept abreast of these developments.

More than a month later, Akhenin told him, "The mages have begun their attack on the world of Osis!"
They had already deployed multiple legions in the surrounding area and occupied adjacent worlds; it seems they wanted to take this opportunity to seize the godhood of Behemoth.

Roy asked, "Those aren't deities from the legal system. Are they interested in them too?"

Akhenin said, "It will still be of some use in the end. The godhood of Behemoth may be related to some laws of life evolution and flesh and blood power. Besides, it is a high god after all."

"That's true."

Roy nodded.

Subsequent news further confirmed that the mages had already taken the lead in the game.

In order to deal with the orcs' true gods, they summoned several magic gods who had also reached the fifth level.

These people were essentially seasoned legendary mages who, in the process of further advancement, used various methods to seize godhood and create their own source of magic power.

This coincides with the way great wizards improve themselves, and it is also the path to godhood for these spellcasters as they gradually enter the realm of gods.

After thinking it over for a while, Roy decided to join in and try to seize this opportunity.

"The main reason for doing this is to advance the Beast God Body..."

By taking a share of the pie, it can become even stronger.

As for the risks.

There are definitely risks involved in getting involved in this kind of thing.

However, the factions are evenly matched. Neither Vizel, Achnila, nor the Interstellar Alliance can suppress the others all at once and monopolize what Behemoth left behind.

More likely, they will simply divide up the profits.

Only by actively participating can one get a share of the profits.

At worst, I might lose this avatar and end up with nothing, but that won't affect my true form.

Of course, with my current strength, it's absolutely impossible for me to monopolize benefits of this level.

Ultimately, it depends on the intentions of the sixth-level Grand Wizard, Ulanakh.

Only if he's truly determined to compete will I have a chance to act!

……

More than two months later.

In yet another communication, Akening brought news that Roy was concerned about.

As expected, the great wizard of Ulanakh was tempted.

He is a newly promoted sixth-level archmage who has successfully entrusted his soul to a certain world and grows by devouring the world's will.

However, the avatar he used was still the witch body he had cultivated in the past, which originated from a high-level magical puppet in a remote star field.

Therefore, he also wanted to compete.

If one can obtain the bloodline of the Golden Behemoth, or something like a godhood, divine office, or divinity, there is a chance to forge a level six witch body.

This is also a very valuable material for wizards who value the soul more than the material.

To this end, he specifically sought out the Seven Towers Alliance to find an envoy who could act on his behalf and carry out this matter.

Because for such an important figure as him, making a hasty move would draw too much attention.

To be in charge of war affairs here, it's impossible to search all over the world.

Ultimately, you still need a suitable and capable subordinate to act on your behalf, and then step in at the crucial moment to make the final decision!
As expected, Roy was included in the considerations, and was the best candidate that could be mobilized at the moment.

……

Late May.

Inside the Nehebur Wizard Tower, in the communications room.

Roy stood alone in front of the magic array, watching the light appear before him. A three-dimensional projection showed the figure of a middle-aged man who looked gentle and refined, with a scholarly air.

This is Ulanakh, the newly promoted sixth-level Grand Wizard, who is in charge of this battle and provides top-level combat protection for all Grand Wizards and High Wizards.

"I've met your Excellency."

Roy touched his chest and bowed, just as he had when he was a young, newly initiated wizard, showing humility and respect to a senior wizard.

"You're Roy?"

Upon seeing the handsome young man before him, who exuded an indescribable extraordinary charm even through the communication array, Ulanakh was slightly taken aback.

He immediately nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"I know a little about your affairs. The information mentions that you once went to the world of Osis?"

"That's right, back then I was a first-level wizard, and I was carrying out a task assigned by my teacher..."

Roy briefly mentioned it.

Some things are out in the open.

When my teacher sent me there, he also reported it to the alliance and included the mission in my resume.

This is what is called a direct descendant, a file, and knowing the inside story.

******
"That would be perfect, because according to the information I have, the body of Behemoth is hidden in a demiplane connected to that place."

On the surface, the orcs hoped to elect a new god to inherit the power of Behemoth.

Therefore, continuing the ancient tradition, a bloody trial was held.

Ulanakh hesitated for a moment, then told Roy the expected news.

He then changed the subject and said...

"But after consulting various historical records, I have to suspect that this may be a huge lie."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Roy's heart stirred slightly.

"This is an excuse to lure the orc heroes into entering and offering sacrifices."

Its fundamental purpose was not the so-called trial, or the rescue of the captured souls, but rather to sacrifice those souls and spirits to the dead Behemoth, attempting to resurrect him through this means.

Roy was somewhat surprised to hear this.

In fact, he had suspected it a long time ago, but at that time he was not qualified to investigate these matters, nor could he get too involved.

After leaving, he gradually forgot about the matter.

Looking back now, that so-called Crimson Trial did indeed have some problems.

However, he was more concerned about the resurrection that Ulanakh had mentioned.

"That kind of existence..."

Is it really possible to be resurrected?

Logically speaking, the stronger a person is, the more methods they should have.

But at the same time, soul energy, as well as knowledge, memories, and so on, have become even more vast and complex.

If the will of this great universe also follows the principle of "equivalent exchange," then trying to overturn the laws of nature and revive it would definitely not be a simple matter.

The spiritual resources it requires are absolutely astronomical.

Therefore, in many cases, it is not easy for such powerful beings to be resurrected, or even if they are resurrected, they can only be in an incomplete state, becoming beings like gods or abominations.

"I cannot answer your question because such things are inherently uncertain."

The orcs didn't know if this would work, but they had to grasp at this lifeline.

Of course, this might be a backup plan.

If a new god capable of wielding the power of the Golden Behemoth could emerge, it wouldn't be entirely unacceptable to the orcs.

"That's true."

Roy said thoughtfully.

He did not ask why those beast gods did not devour the godhood of Behemoth and seize His power.

Because he knew that mature and powerful beings all had their own paths, and those beast gods, their divine status, divine duties, and divine nature were vastly different from the Golden Behemoth.

They also lacked the knowledge to create puppet avatars or modulate witch bodies, making it difficult for them to fully utilize their skills. Instead, ordinary people who had not yet become gods were more malleable.

This is like a blank sheet of paper, making it easier to draw on.

Ulanakh then told Roy, "The orcs have strengthened their defenses on their homeland, so it might not be so easy for you to sneak across."

But don't worry, I'll do my best to hold off their true god and those demigod heroes...

On the main battlefield, there will also be coordinated large-scale offensives.

"At least for the time being, during the Crimson Trial, we will create the most favorable situation for you."

The "you" that Ulanakh refers to are the mission takers, including Roy.

He was clearly not the type to put all his eggs in one basket, and unsurprisingly, there were several other candidates besides Roy.

However, it's clear that Roy's side is still the one on whom high hopes are placed, making them the main force in the mission.

To this end, they even offered very generous terms.

"As long as you can create the conditions that allow me to descend to His corpse in my avatar, you will receive at least one Godhood fragment, regardless of how things develop afterward."

If you continue to contribute and help me obtain any of the Behemoth Godhood, divine office, and divinity, you will receive an additional fifth-level true godhood fragment, or 3 to 10 demigod-level godhood fragments of your choice.

Of course, it can also be exchanged for other equivalent resources or knowledge..."

Finally, he added quietly.

"By the way, you mustn't transfer this task to someone else."

Okay, so you're refusing to subcontract layer by layer, right?

Do I look like that kind of person?

……

After ending the communication, Roy pondered to himself and realized that he possessed uniquely advantageous conditions.

Because he is an orc hero, possessing a legendary destiny recognized by Osis, and the identity of "Luke".

His own holy name, "Saint Sotaire," is able to greatly confuse Osis's world will.

Moreover, just like in the past when I cooperated with Raymond or obtained alchemical talent by killing Yannis, I will have another benefit when I go there, which is the absorption of unique alchemical talent source essence!
Even without Ulanher's mission and no extra reward, I wouldn't have made a wasted trip there.

He may be able to draw upon some alchemical talents related to "bloodline" and complete the evolution of the Beast God Body.

This is called "one fish, three ways," making full use of the fish.

However, I still need to make some preparations before setting off to make things easier.

For example, the modulation of the Beast God Body.

At this point, the Beast God Body was still at the second stage, essentially a remnant of its soul after it had been transferred.

It no longer has a permanent spiritual presence; it is a puppet created from something akin to an animated corpse or an alchemical product.

However, due to its innate talent of "Sage's Proverbs," its mental strength can be amplified to its peak at any time, and when combined with its holy name, it can unleash extraordinary power.

It is no exaggeration to say that the power he can mobilize in the material plane far surpasses that of those true gods, and even at the level of high-ranking gods, it is a top-tier configuration.

However, just to be on the safe side, we should continue to strengthen it in all aspects.

...Over the next six months, Roy continued to closely monitor the movements of all parties while preparing for necessary reinforcements.

He traded with the Seven Towers Alliance and obtained a material that could effectively unlock bloodline talents. He then combined it with his "Life Essence Soup" to create an "Evolution Potion" specifically for his body, which he then downed in one gulp.

Although the Beast God Body had already been strengthened to a considerable degree, at this moment, with the pursuit of perfection, the soul constellation resembling a bear was clearly reflected in the Star Palace Destiny Chart.

The star representing [becoming more ferocious] suddenly shone brightly.

Roy's intuition told him that the power boost it could provide had increased from 300% to around 400%.

Combined with the previous [Bloodline Awakening], which resulted in an 8-fold increase in physique and strength, this power has reached an unprecedented 32-fold multiplier.

This is already comparable to top-tier level 3 spell models!

******
Below the Nehebur Wizard Tower.

Fields, open spaces.

The handsome young man stood suspended in mid-air, his fists swung like the wind, creating layers of light and shadow.

The magic burst fist from the Chakra World Yodakara mobilized the power within his body, and crimson battle aura burst forth.

In an instant, a violent force surged forth, like a storm, fiercely attacking the land protected by the witch array.

The holographic projection flickered continuously, and white numbers appeared one after another.

35326!

24306!

37067!

A terrifying roar, like a series of giant thunderclaps, resounded. Amidst the violent tremors, the earth cracked, and black ravines spread out like a spider web.

The once relatively flat Gobi Desert was blasted into huge craters by the violent force of the punches, with rubble and soil shooting into the sky and turning into a cloud of dust.

This is already a terrifying existence, resembling a humanoid nuclear bomb.

……

"Not bad, I feel like I'm getting more and more in control!"

Ignoring the changes in the surrounding terrain, Roy focused on immersing himself in the Beast God Body, as if returning to the past, to the era when he used this witch body as his main body.

Over the years, he has always carefully maintained this physical body, constantly strengthening its foundation and improving its basic attributes.

Setting aside the already depleted spiritual body and replacing it with a fragment of the soul, the physical body has undergone various witch body modifications, life evolution, and gene lock unlocking, etc., and has reached an attribute level of nearly 5000 degrees.

Roy had mentioned before that his body was actually that of a somewhat weak and frail young man with some congenital deficiencies.

The combat power data of the Beast God Body is not ideal.

However, it did grant him the bloodline power of the Golden Behemoth...

Relying on his ever-improving status and worldly wealth, he gradually progresses towards his ideal "mature, ferocious golden behemoth".

Therefore, he was already able to unleash the [Bloodline Awakening] combined with [Brutalization], which is equivalent to 800% multiplied by 300%, roughly equal to a 24-fold combat skill multiplier.

Now, the [Brutalization] has been further enhanced, reaching 400%, or 32 times!
The ideal data for the "ferocious golden behemoth mature form" is 10*5, totaling 50 times, and there are only one or two more breakthroughs left.

For an ordinary wizard, one or two evolutions would be a lifetime's distance.

However, Roy had already been promoted to Grand Wizard and had recently made a fortune from the war here. He immediately declared with great pride that he could exchange what he needed from the Seven Towers Alliance.

Try your best to fully make up for this talent!
"In fact, the so-called 'ferocious mature form of golden behemoth' can be considered the pinnacle of the golden behemoth race."

Its potential power should be comparable to that of a demigod.

A 50x multiplier also corresponds to a super-powerful combat skill of that level, capable of converting physical life energy into something comparable to powerful magic.

If we go a step further than that, it should be the complete form, the ultimate form...

Theoretically speaking, Behemoth, the god of the Behemoth, existed at that stage.

After soaring into the sky and entering the wizard's tower, Roy remained deep in thought.

He decided to send this incarnation because it had a deep connection with Behemoth.

If you're lucky, you might gain some bloodline power, or even unlock more talents and achieve a mature or complete form.

Moreover, it was with this body that he seized Lukel's destiny in the world of Osis and killed the headless Amor, thus becoming a hero.

He is a genuine orc hero, and he doesn't need any extra disguise to make a homecoming!
Just then, Tarling Celine's voice suddenly rang out.

"Master, news has come from the Seven Towers Alliance that the mages have launched another attack on the world of Osis!"

During this time, demons and devils appeared separately, attempting to bewitch the creatures on the other side.

The advanced civilization of the Interstellar Alliance, Sarkal, also sent their probe, the Super Cube…

"Oh?"

Roy's heart stirred slightly.

"Everyone is indeed very enthusiastic!"

This is the advantage of knowing the news in advance.

Of course, one also needs to have a certain status and position to know the inside story.

Compared to Roy's composure, the other parties inevitably began to panic.

"The Cions are getting restless and have called for reinforcements!"

"The Black Beast Legion, which is conquering the world of Furei, has reinforced its forces once again!"

"The Cooknos world front continues to advance, and the Alliance has lost ground once again!"

Judging from the battle reports alone, war was raging everywhere, and the country was in turmoil.

Even Wolf, the protagonist of the werewolf world, was inevitably affected.

From the perspectives of Ingenium, Zaif, Serafina, and others, there was no confirmation of the death of the Behemoth God, nor were there any powerful figures from all sides eager to take action against the main world, Osis.

All they knew was that in the past six months, the enemy had been increasing its troops at all costs, throwing in all sorts of supplies and personnel as if they were free.

What was originally a relatively peaceful second-line battlefield is gradually turning into a meat grinder.

This is quite disadvantageous for them.

However, Roy only responded indifferently to all the complaints and pleas for help.

At most, they would recall some of their own personnel from dangerous locations, and temporarily relocate the Norman elves who had set out for the world of Furei to relatively safe places.

He knew that all of this was just a feigned intensity, an arrangement made by various powerful figures to compete for the divine status of Behemoth and other things.

The real battle will not take place there, but will take place on the world of Osis.

So at this moment, the main purpose is to take this opportunity to suppress the power of the orcs. All parties tacitly put the orcs on the table and then raised their knives and forks.

During this great battle between the various factions, the invaders from the wizards, mages, and the Star Alliance showed an extraordinary level of cooperation, clearly intending to divide up the orcish territory and compete for their respective resources.

The orcs' true gods were powerless to do anything about it, and could not even send demigod heroes or other powerful figures to help.

They actually have some demigod heroes under their command, possessing near-level four or level four combat power.

However, in this perilous situation where wolves surround us, rashly sending out one or two people to launch a scattered attack would only be handing food to our powerful enemy.

Launching multiple attacks at once, or even pressing forward with all forces, is more likely to result in total annihilation.

Therefore, Roy and the others never saw any powerful figures from the orcs appear; they all remained holed up in their home world.

Despite this situation, Roy continued his preparations.

This time, he upgraded and strengthened the "Corrupted Black Diamond Greatsword (Level 4)" in his hand, reinforcing the blade and giving it the additional blessing of "Weapon of Faith".

In addition, Roy also equipped this avatar with high-level Tier 3 Excellent gear, including Swift Boots, Magic Leather Gloves, Magic Crocodile Belt, and Tactical Helmet.

They can provide agility, as well as increases in defense, resistance, and so on.

******
"Although they are not semi-divine artifacts, they are really not worth mentioning."

However, equipment that reaches this stage can be considered high-level items.

It is still somewhat useful, at least for a normal level three powerhouse.

It's not necessarily true that you need to reach level four to be able to play your due role.

Because he had enough materials on hand, Roy was able to assemble them quickly.

Some even have finished products already in stock in the warehouse, so there is no need to build them separately.

Then, to test these pieces of equipment, Roy went to the open space outside the Wizard Tower again and activated the magical properties they contained.

Instantly, "Swift Step" (actually should be called Swift Wind) was activated, and the Beast God's body was as if it were enveloped by a faint but real magical wind, greatly increasing its movement speed.

He only moved slightly, but felt as if his body had been equipped with a rocket propulsion device, making him move at lightning speed.

Following closely behind is the "Frenzy" buff that comes with the Magic Leather Gloves.

Activate the magic effect to greatly increase attack speed.

Roy's hand speed was so fast that he left afterimages. Without using any combat skills or physical strength, he easily achieved six sword strikes per second, splitting a boulder into four pieces.

After he used his strength, he began to shake violently as if he were having a seizure.

From a mortal's perspective, even dynamic vision is insufficient to capture his movements; one can only feel him convulsing on the spot, violently shaking, violently shaking, and then violently shaking again.

He unleashed dozens of sword strikes in an instant.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Like a shock engine starting up, a series of continuous explosions created a powerful gust of wind.

It was as if dozens of bolts of lightning were flashing, and the sword light was so fast that it was impossible to tell which sword was in front and which was behind.

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the small hill, which was several tens of meters high in the distance.

They started as thin as hair, then quickly expanded, spreading out like a spider web.

With a deafening roar, the entire hill was sheared flat, large sections of the mountain slowly sliding down, raising clouds of dust.

Next up is the Crocodile Belt with a space capsule.

This item doesn't directly increase combat power; relatively speaking, it's just average.

However, as a level 3 excellent equipment, it has a super large capacity space that is close to a personal warehouse. The 1000-slot potion pouch is also filled with all kinds of super recovery potions, commonly known as "super red" and "super blue".

This product can treat and restore patients in a very short time, and provides very long-lasting protection.

This also includes some more advanced, fully restorative potions with certain divine healing effects, commonly known as "Great Purple Elixir".

In ancient alchemical legends, the Philosopher's Stone has also been associated with alternative names such as "alcohol" and "red potion," generally implying a connection to health and life.

It can simultaneously restore vitality and mana, bringing the physical body back to its peak condition.

All kinds of non-fatal injuries are completely healed instantly, and even severed hands and feet can grow back!

If Roy had been given a bottle of this precious "Great Purple Elixir" when he was hit by a tactical nuclear missile, he would have recovered instantly.

However, at that time he was just a novice wizard who had never even seen such a good thing, let alone used it.

In addition to strategic supplies for treatment and recovery, there are various berserker potions, hallucinogenic potions, and all sorts of strange and wonderful alchemical potions.

Anything that might be useful in battle and needs to be taken out and used at any time has been transferred from the spatial ring to here.

Finally, there's the tactical helmet.

This is something that looks quite futuristic, like a holographic helmet used by a fighter pilot.

In recent years, Roy has used his technological achievements, combined with the "Unigorin Terminal" he created through his past alchemical magic, to build a holographic helmet with functions such as detection, analysis, and calculation.

Wearing it allows you to access the "Unigorin Terminal's" AI at any time and access its various capabilities.

In addition, it even has two level-two "laser magic eyes" installed in its eyes, as well as a small drone and other equipment stored in its spatial ring that can be accessed at any time.

All of these measures are essentially designed to compensate for the fact that the Beast God Body is biased towards combat and lacks spellcasting abilities.

Strictly speaking, this is not a defect, but merely a characteristic of the bloodline.

As a high wizard, Roy could sneak up to that world and provide support.

However, considering that his own body was too dangerous in the past and it was difficult to project power from a distance, he might be in an awkward situation.

Therefore, it's best to plan ahead and prepare in advance.

Of course, if that level six Grand Wizard Ulanakh is helpful and doesn't cheat people, I can still slip away.

However, for safety reasons, we will absolutely not get too close.

Although the void of stars is vast, if one's true body location is detected by those true god-level beings, it is still possible to become entangled with them.

……

After that, Roy continued to familiarize himself with various alchemical tools and added some small accessories that might be useful to the Beast God Body, such as various amulets.

They even brought along the two treasures from the Nomon world, "Lucky Fatuna" and "Misfortune Fatum".

For safety's sake, he didn't bring all his belongings, such as the Holy Grail...

Of course, there's no need for that.

However, carrying such a set of level 4 equipment can still provide sufficient assistance for this trip.

They may not necessarily come in handy, but it's always good to be prepared.

Before we knew it, it was already mid-January of the new year.

Roy seized an opportunity and sent the Beast God Body out through a teleportation array.

In a short while, they arrived near the world of Osis, in a special space within a demiplane.

This is not the interior of the material world, because when the war began, the beast gods had already used their divine power to completely envelop and seal off the entire world.

As powerful beings at the level of a fifth-level true god, sealing off a world would be an easy task for them to do so.

People from the outside world have no way to teleport directly in. Even if they have their own ways, they still need to honestly transfer through a nearby demiplane to sneak in.

Therefore, at this moment, Roy used the Seven Towers Alliance's channels to find a backdoor left over from the past interdimensional wars.

When he emerged from the magic circle, several wizards rushed over and came forward to pay their respects.

"Your Excellency, the High Wizard, we have been waiting here for a long time. Please tell us if there is anything we can do to help you."

(End of this chapter)
