Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 852 The Mior World (4-in-1)

"If the previous ones were level zero to level four fragmented clones, then this one should be level five..."

But you didn't, as you had done in the past, cut your soul into a certain proportion and inject it at 1 degrees, or even 10 degrees...

Instead, they started from scratch, just like ordinary people.

In that case, would it truly be worthy of the "True God Body" designation as a level five slice?

Freya walked over from the side, but asked with some doubt.

She was somewhat aware of Roy's intentions; he planned to use this opportunity to create a Level 5 "True God Body," and even to seek advancement to become a Level 5 Grand Wizard.

However, there are some details that I don't fully understand.

"Since it's called a 'true god body,' it's also an opportunity to try the ladder to godhood."

This physical form is merely a shell; divinity, divinity, and divine office are what truly reside within.

Roy explained.

"Is that so?"

Freya suddenly realized, but at the same time, she was still somewhat surprised and doubtful.

Even she wasn't entirely clear about Roy's expertise in the realm of gods.

It is even more unclear whether Roy possesses some kind of alchemical magic or pseudo-god-level power.

Rather, it is the complete divine nature of the true God!
That was a direct gift from alchemical talent.

This time, there's really no need to cut off too much mental energy.

Just 1 degree is enough to meet the minimum requirement of maintaining a "human appearance".

Upon emerging from the alchemy room, Roy immediately manipulated his body to drink the "Life Essence Soup - Evolution Potion" that he had prepared beforehand, granting his body powerful vitality.

This thing is undoubtedly precious to ordinary people.

Low-level wizards might not even be able to find or afford it, even if they exhaust their entire lives.

But Roy spent hundreds of millions to refine magic potions, starting with a basic enhancement.

However, in order to avoid being detected as having problems when he went to "Kraftley" in the future, he did not immediately advance his body, but instead adopted a gradual approach, stopping only when he reached the level equivalent to a Grand Knight.

"This is a genetic modification method that meets the standards of the Interstellar Alliance. Sark's citizens have various enhancement routes, but the mainstream is still bioengineering modification."

The potion I drank incorporated the magic of [Natural Magic], yet I can't detect any magical transformation effect at all!

This is a very important point, and it's not something that ordinary wizards can easily do.

"Lord Roy, the 13 metal angels have been dismantled. Here is a list of materials that can be used."

At that moment, the girl's skull floated over and reported to him.

As they spoke, a screen of light appeared.

The omnipresent magic array within the tower reflected the list of materials it had mentioned.

Roy glanced at it briefly and said, "The extracted parts and refined substances should be enough to create three puppets of the same level."

Perhaps we can even have some spare parts and materials as backups.

"Will it be made according to the metal angel design of the Sakhalin people, or the magic armor, steel mechs, or even the rose angels of the past?"

Celine asked.

Roy said, "Generally speaking, if you have to use this thing in battle, it's already a last resort, and it doesn't matter whether it's exposed or not."

Let's stick with the Rose Angel design.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Celine didn't say much and immediately issued the instruction.

These components and materials are at least at the fourth stage, the level of ultra-dense lattice matter, and she can only do some preliminary auxiliary work.

However, Roy quickly projected his spiritual power down, and after casting a "Level 4 Activation Technique," the solid matter softened, becoming easier to shape and modify.

Then, the divine power of the Alchemy Godhood shone down.

The metallic objects seemed to come alive and began to exhibit astonishing changes.

……

A few days later, the new year arrived.

Thus, the "Rose Apostle," modeled after the Rose Angel, was born.

These Rose Apostles are all humanoid, upright mechanical constructs.

Judging from its appearance alone, it is over two meters tall, with a slender shape, and all of these features are feminine.

However, unlike Alice, who has a beautiful appearance and is highly anthropomorphic, they are all a more abstract kind of humanoid mechanical life.

Moreover, almost all of them cover the upper part, including the eyes, as if they were wearing a half-helmet.

In reality, this is not a real helmet, but rather an original structure welded to the surface.

If you look closely and remove its "helmet," you will find an internal cavity resembling a skull and a sophisticated science fiction-like structure.

This reveals its true nature: it is actually a sci-fi-style interstellar warframe in the style of the Interstellar Alliance.

Fortunately, thanks to Roy's excellent aesthetic sense, even this abstract humanoid figure presents the unique beauty of the human form.

Although they are all made of metal, they seem to be wearing highly elastic, tight-fitting leather clothes, combining strength and grace.

Moreover, this unique decorative style, reminiscent of a pipa player partially concealing the face, makes the otherwise potentially uniform faces stand out, leaving people with endless imagination about what the real faces beneath these helmets might be like.

"The Rose Apostle should be positioned the same as the Metal Angel itself, belonging to the mass-produced Apostle sequence."

What it contains is a degraded version derived from the Rose Angel's Soul Recipe.

The quality is certainly far inferior to the original, but the price-performance ratio is much higher, and the soul rank is still gold, making it a very good deal!

The "True God Body" (the Alchemist God) looked thoughtful, maintaining a connection with Roy's true form through spiritual resonance.

Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, the fundamental attributes of these apostles are revealed.

"Rose Apostle (Mass Production Type)..."

A divine construct created by combining the characteristics of the Rose Angel and the Kraftley Warframe, based on the prototype Apostle.

Sanctification level: 95%
Spiritual scale: 100 million

Basic Attributes:
Spirit 999 degrees, physical strength 15000 degrees.

Divine Metal: A sanctified body forged by combining spiritual and material properties (made from soul particles extracted from the remains of sacred relics, infused with technological creations, and crafted from ultra-dense lattice materials). It possesses the reverse application of spiritual materialization, can be etherealized to a certain extent, and resists spiritual fields...

Emotion-Driven Engine (Prototype): Possesses a certain level of emotional perception, and has basic emotions and the motivation to transform them...

Rose Holy Lightning: Possesses a casting model for "Level 4 Rose Holy Lightning" with a multiplier of 4-50x...

Armor: Includes a full set of equipment such as the Interstellar Alliance's energy shield, energy-converting weapons, and miniaturized antimatter annihilation reactors...

Additional configuration: Spirit Star Antimony (Level 4, additional energy source), Star Armor (Level 4 physical immunity effect surpassing Diamond Skin, also possessing Level 3 elemental resistance, can be used as a shield generator to apply secondary protective effects to friendly units)...

******
It is a ruthless fighting machine, yet it also possesses the power to protect.

It has excessively strong attributes and a ton of special features.

Roy looked at the densely packed, essay-like stream of information scrolling by and nodded in satisfaction.

He personally oversaw the design and development of this product, and he had a clear understanding of its basic structure.

Now it seems that the initial concept has been almost completely realized, creating a combat puppet of the "divine construct" level with a focus on physical combat.

It is similar to a high-level puppet in the usual sense, but with slight differences.

It only possesses emotional functions, but lacks feelings and intelligence.

Advanced magical puppets tend to be more human-like, possessing stronger emotional and intellectual abilities, while their combat power is secondary.

To be precise, its essence is more like a divine soul or spiritual entity within the magical system.

Next, Roy conducted a test on the three Rose Apostles.

First, there is the divine connection, using his own [Alchemy Godhood] to grant him the "Alchemy" spellcasting ability in the field of alchemy.

The result was unsatisfactory.

Compared to the "Rose Holy Lightning" that comes with the soul, its maximum multiplier can only reach 1000%, which is 10 times, equivalent to the level of a mid-to-lower level intermediate spellcaster.

Combined with a mental strength attribute of nearly 1000 degrees, it is at most equivalent to a power of 10000 degrees.

This is still a theoretical value. In reality, it does not exceed 10,000 degrees and fails to achieve the qualitative change from level two to level three. This is still only a level two spell!
However, compared to that, the physical combat abilities of the physical faction are simply formidable.

Its characteristics, such as shaping energy waves, technological weapons, energy shields, and infinite energy (pseudo), give it excellent sustained mobile combat capabilities on both ground and in space.

Although its small size means it lacks the extra leverage multiplier of the Super Golden Behemoth's [Gigantification] ability, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary enemies.

In the final assessment, their overall combat strength should be around 70% of that of the Sarkian Metal Angel.

This still takes into account the various disadvantages caused by differences in body size.

If we fully leverage the advantages of mobility, we can compensate with tactical capabilities.

With the added power of their own divine magic, they might even manage to draw or even overtake their opponents.

"The meaning of the word 'apostle' is originally similar to that of divine messengers, retinues, etc., or at the very least, it is related to them!"

After confirming these things, the True God Body was secretly satisfied.

……

Next, Roy personally selected materials to continue crafting weapons and equipment for the Rose Apostles.

Disciples from the "Alchemy Circle Research Society," including Tibas, Lonik, and Mattris, assisted him.

Although their aptitude was not as good as Ingnim and Shisha'er, they still advanced one level and became official wizards.

After so many years of growth, he has become quite knowledgeable.

In the past, Roy had sent them to the world of Araghi to work as apprentices on the construction site of the Angelos.

This gave them a wealth of knowledge in materials science, as well as experience in dealing with various metal smelting situations.

Now, they are putting their acquired knowledge and skills into practice.

However, it was Roy himself who actually took action.

He sought out elemental artifacts with strong magical properties and used them to create swords in the form of staves.

Thus, the "Mystic Sword," possessing elemental attributes of fire enhancement, lightning enhancement, and frost enhancement, was created.

This is a ritual implement used in festivals. It looks delicate and beautiful, and its image and temperament are very consistent with the one-handed sword of the Rose Apostle.

It is almost a super-dense lattice forging process based on the standard of forging level 5 materials, combined with various alchemical skills under the blessing of divine power, holy inscriptions, essence infusion and other means, as well as the traditional art of gem inlay, which can be described as doing everything possible.

"Roar of Flames - Mystic Sword - Liag (Level 4)..."

Quality: 45
This is an arcane forging craft that combines science and magic, possessing the primary characteristic of "fire enhancement".

Special Effect 1: "Elemental Enchantment", increases fire elemental damage by 500~2298...

Special Effect 2: "Elemental Resistance", provides high resistance to the corresponding element, and absorbs an additional 25% of fire damage...

Like the Rose Apostle itself, this sword is very suitable as a model, a blueprint for other wizards and even apprentices to follow.

Roy applied standard industrial thinking, limiting any extraneous elements as much as possible, and carefully selecting various enhancement items and affix attributes.

Other apprentices may not be as capable, but they can more than master some of the skills and perform similar functions.

In that case, the refined product will be downgraded, and its special effects and stats may not be as powerful, but the success will be obvious.

The other two swords are similar, except that their elemental attributes have been changed to frost and lightning.

At this point, Roy had essentially completed his preparations for this trip.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

It was already past July.

Inside the alchemy room of the Nehebur Wizard Tower.

Roy was instructing several wizards on how to infuse enchantments.

The core of "enchanting" lies in allowing magical energy to reside permanently within an object.

This cannot be described using the metaphor of "pouring water into a container." Rather, it means making water a part of the body, thereby participating in cellular function and the coordinated bodily functions of various organs.

There are three common methods: rune array imprinting, elemental fusion, and energy crystallization.

What they can do now is transform from rune array imprinting to elemental fusion.

This step is crucial and determines whether everyone can stand on their own and become an expert in the field of "enchanting".

Schall, Pierre, and the others had a light sheen of sweat on their foreheads as they studied diligently.

Compared to Roy's alchemical talent, they were indeed far inferior.

His wizard level didn't improve quickly either, and he didn't become a high-level character all the way up.

But after a moment, they all showed their joy.

"It looks like we succeeded!"

"The power of the elements has truly permeated the matter completely, becoming one with it!"

"This metal has been completely elementalized, undergoing a transformation in its properties!"

Upon hearing this, Roy checked each of them and nodded approvingly: "Very good. At this point, you can all be said to have graduated and are capable of handling things on your own."

I suggest that you do not limit yourselves to witchcraft and alchemy, but increase your understanding of arcane arts or science and technology.

Of course, this is to broaden your horizons and find areas where you are interested and talented, not to bite off more than you can chew, searching high and low only to end up with nothing.

He himself was a beneficiary of alchemical talent, so he naturally believed in the theory of talent.

Just as everyone was taking notes of the teachings, the tower spirit Celine suddenly sent a message saying that there was news from the Tower of Witches.

Roy left for the time being and returned to the communications room.

******
"Lord Roy!" Akhenin's figure appeared before the huge light screen, his face showing a hint of joy.

"I've taken care of the task you assigned me. I've contacted the spies I've placed there to provide a way to infiltrate, and it turns out there's a very good identity that's suitable for you."

"Oh, what could it be?"

"They are pioneers!"
The titles corresponding to your position are Captain, Commander, Admiral, etc.

He is an Alliance citizen who leads his followers on a nomadic journey through the universe!

With Akhenin's patient explanation and the support of information he had previously gathered, Roy learned that within the Interstellar Alliance, an organization comprised of multiple factions, there existed a complex and obscure force.

They are roughly equivalent to a multinational corporation on a planetary world, with governments of various countries (interstellar alliance member civilizations) involved, planting all sorts of spies and informants.

Bounty hunters and adventurers (pioneers) from all walks of life also participated.

Its main tasks include exploration and discovery, and interdimensional travel.

It was also like the Age of Exploration, when people dared to roam freely in canoes, or followed fleets to the New World, plunging into the wilderness or various uninhabited areas, full of the desire to find gold or gems.

Because the various factions within the Interstellar Alliance are of different races, with vastly different physiological characteristics and lifestyles, and even more diverse customs, religious beliefs, and so on, all parties have signed an agreement to respect and protect this group.

At the same time, regardless of political system or development philosophy, many practices from the primitive era, such as financial privatization and privately established laws, are still preserved.

This is because they are essentially adventurers, marginalized individuals outside of civilized society.

Perhaps we should also add the title of "outlaw".

The Interstellar Alliance turned a blind eye to this, allowing various civilizations to temporarily escape their jurisdiction, simply to enjoy the benefits that came with it.

Analogous to the Age of Exploration, those so-called adventurers burned, killed, and looted in the New World, or committed other crimes, completely severing ties with their home planets and civilizations.

They derive their sense of direction from it and enjoy various benefits, so naturally they have little incentive to change the status quo.

Over time, this group has become a very unique and dynamic grassroots organization under the Interstellar Alliance.

Many of them are individuals who value individual development, and in terms of various habits, they are more like wizards.

"The identity you can obtain is that of a pioneer team leader with multiple ships, a descendant of Navax."

To be precise, it should be Navax XV!
He was born into a military family in the Sakha civilization, but because he was an unloved illegitimate son, he sought out resources on his own and ventured out into the world.

After achieving some success, with the support of his family, he gradually grew and expanded.

Navax has always maintained a distant relationship with his family and his mother civilization, Sarkl.

On the one hand, he needs to rely on this to obtain all kinds of advanced technologies and powerful equipment, but on the other hand, he is not trusted and has no chance of returning to society, washing his hands of the past, and living a stable life.

His subordinates were mostly people who shared the same plight, as well as various talents captured or recruited along the way.

Over time, this led to the formation of small factions similar to space pirate groups.

"This sounds somewhat similar to the wizarding civilization, but the great wizards who stepped out of the star sea were the mainstream of the civilization and have always held real power."

At most, they became warlords, carving out their own territories and becoming too powerful to control, but they never showed any signs of deviating from civilization.

After listening, Roy seemed to be deep in thought.

He could easily see the difference by comparing himself to the situation.

It seems that he has always been a direct descendant of the Vizel civilization, possessing his own fiefdom and controlling the three major territories of Araghi, Nehebul, and Nomon World, making him practically a self-contained state within a state.

He also possessed the Nehebul Wizard Tower under his command, as well as legions drawn from various worlds.

Their assets have also gradually become more substantial.

But the Interstellar Alliance is different; it involves a question of subjectivity.

After learning all this, Akhenin continued, "This Navax has been passed down for many generations and has gradually declined."

The most recent one was left with only a single flagship, and it was even targeted and hunted down by its competitors, almost being completely wiped out!
It was at this time that the real Navax XV encountered our wizard, was mentally controlled, and subsequently landed on the flagship left by his ancestors, taking complete control.

To outsiders, they still appear to be roaming the edge of the star system in order to evade pursuit by their peers.

Or perhaps they intend to simply leave the star system and explore and discover other alternate dimensions.

But in reality, they have been completely replaced and become our subordinates.

This can be considered the best identity resource successfully accumulated in recent decades.

The moment you made the request, this came to mind, and after some review and organization, I found it to be indeed feasible.

"I trust your judgment."

When it comes to professional matters, Roy never gets bogged down in details.

So they accepted the arrangement.

"Alright, I'll apply for teleportation resources for you there immediately!"

……

That month, Roy temporarily returned to Okmew Tower through the alliance.

The familiar scenery inside the tower remains the same, with the red-dressed ghost greeting guests.

This time, however, Roy only stayed for one night before hastily setting off on a new journey.

What goes there is not even a slice of a "true god body", but its own original body.

This is to allow the world's will to remember and connect with the alchemical godhood, through inscription at the level of divine law, to facilitate the use of otherworldly summoning, emergency teleportation, soul preservation, and other follow-up measures.

After being teleported again and stopping, what appeared before my eyes was the interior of a spaceship.

"Welcome to the Explorer, Commander. I am your loyal servant, Grina."

Now, please allow me to introduce everything here to you…

A human woman with an impressive figure, dressed in the style of the Interstellar Alliance, stepped forward, bowed, and greeted them.

A deep ravine appeared before the true god's body.

Looking at it from this perspective, Roy couldn't help but wonder, "You're Grina?"

"whee……"

Suddenly, the woman, who had been gentle, peaceful, and seemingly radiating maternal warmth, revealed a somewhat eerie smile and straightened her body.

“That’s right, Grina, a level two wizard, greets Your Excellency!”

This is actually a way of stealing the soul and completely taking over the body of the original 15-life "hereditary maid"!

******
I have heard about your deeds.

"Thanks to you, the alliance was able to obtain such a resource this time."

Roy looked at the other person, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The wizarding civilization also has similar explorers and pioneers, just like I have carried out infiltration missions in the past, and even now, I am infiltrating unfamiliar places again.

Normally, according to convention, such identity resources should be given priority to Grina in front of us.

But now, the alliance wants it for their own use, so that they can make better use of it.

However, he was not clear about the other party's thoughts. Putting himself in their shoes, he realized that he needed to exchange enough benefits to convince them.

He didn't know how well Akening and his team had handled things.

If there are any emotions or hidden dissatisfactions, it will ultimately be detrimental to taking action.

Of course, he was a great wizard, while the other was only a second-level wizard; the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

It is absolutely impossible for them to pose a real threat to me.

He just didn't want any trouble or hassle, or to waste his time and energy in vain.

Upon hearing this, Grina quickly replied, "The Alliance has already paid me. From now on, I and the forces under my command will serve you wholeheartedly. Please rest assured."

"Alright, give me a brief overview of the situation."

Roy looked around and casually sat down in one of the anti-gravity chairs that was floating in mid-air.

Grinna then did as he wished and began to introduce herself.

As previously known, they were wandering and traveling in the dangerous zone at the edge of the star system, evading the pursuit of their fellow travelers.

Although they were considered peers, they had actually become more like pirates, profiting more from plundering than from exploration and discovery.

"We now have two choices: one is to show ourselves and destroy them, and then gradually grow stronger and more powerful among the stars, making Navax great again..."

One option was to slip away unnoticed, returning to his home planet Mior, now a descendant of a fallen nobleman, to settle down and live a life of leisure.

After understanding the basic situation, Roy spoke to Grina.

"The next one... isn't that abandoning our biggest advantage?"

The wizard Grinna was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"But this is the fastest way to get to the planet and infiltrate the Saqr people."

I have some matters to attend to on Mior Star, so it's best to postpone the development of this fleet's industries for now.

Roy said calmly.

This is clearly different from Grinna's original plan.

However, since the other party is a great wizard, whatever he says goes.

She had no choice but to ask, "So what's your final choice?"

"Let's do it this way, get off the ship, and go ashore!"

……

More than ten planetary days later.

Mior Star, the fifth spaceport.

On the orbit illuminated by the plasma, the spacecraft shuttled back and forth like a migrating school of fish.

Cargo ships, stretching for several kilometers, slowly entered the port, while small passenger ships and various spaceplanes nimbly navigated their respective lanes, their exhaust trails leaving bright trails in space.

Roy and Grina, aboard a silver-gray aircraft registered under the name of a family-owned shell company on their home planet, slowly glided into the designated landing lane, guided by a navigation beam.

Through the porthole, one can see the port area brightly lit, with various space ground support robots busily carrying out all sorts of tasks.

Shortly after, the aircraft came to a smooth stop at the docking point, and the electric doors slid open silently to both sides.

"Your Excellency Navax, your port entry clearance has been approved. Please follow the instructions to disembark and proceed to the designated area via the passageway ahead..."

The true god stepped out of the hatch, with Grina following closely behind, traveling so lightly that she didn't seem like a pioneer who had once commanded a fleet.

Several Saqqas had already come forward, the leader of whom was a middle-aged man whose life force was at the second stage.

Due to the development of gene technology, these advanced citizens of technological civilization have basically achieved pseudo-immortality.

In other words, the vast majority of them have lifespans of hundreds or thousands of years, which is equivalent to a level two life form.

This is not enough for them to master magic or fighting spirit, to release it in a burst, or to mobilize the mana of nature.

For the unbelievers, the universe is "without magic" or "low in magic".

This is not enough to develop the power of a magic system.

Therefore, this is a relatively pure life energy, possessing an undeveloped beauty.

"Lord Navax..."

With a slightly unusual expression, the middle-aged man, who looked like a handsome young man, asked in a deep voice.

"Have you really decided to go back to Mior?"

"Things have come to this, and this is the only way."

"Ugh!"

The middle-aged man didn't say much.

He is a staff member of this port area, and he has climbed up the ranks step by step to his current position as a middle-level leader.

During this period, I met Navax XIII, XIV, and now XV...

I have also been involved in some of their "businesses" and can be considered a relatively close relationship with the shore-based forces.

He thought this relationship would continue indefinitely, but he never expected it would come to this.

He couldn't blame the young man for wasting his family's business; it was just that his competitors were too despicable, disregarding morality and kicking him when he was down.

Thanks to the good deeds of my ancestors, I have been working hard to get ashore.

Although it never succeeded, it was precisely when it was almost completely destitute that it managed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Now there is an excellent opportunity, namely the Asylum Act which arose based on the interdimensional war..."

People of your status can temporarily obtain residency permits and corresponding preferential treatment on their home planet under the pretext of avoiding the dangers of war.

If they can gain parliamentary approval, they may even have the opportunity to receive special funding to repair the spaceships and build a fleet.

Since things have come to this point, this is truly the only way...

Give it your all!

"Thank you, Mr. Vikman."

Roy nodded and said the other person's name.

"Please," Vikman said.

He was then led into the rest area inside.

Over the next few planetary days, Roy and Grina spent a short waiting period here, getting to know each other and taking the time to catch up on and update their knowledge.

They then received permission to enter their home planet, boarded a civilian spaceship, and set off for the planet below.

Soon, Roy and Grinna appeared in the sky above a city with a science fiction world style.

Instead of towering skyscrapers, there are various metal structures shaped like Rubik's Cubes floating in mid-air. These numerous metal structures, resembling building blocks, along with gravity-defying floating islands, form a massive floating city.

This is the capital of our home planet, Katari.
