From Alchemy Apprentice to All-Powerful God King

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Seeing that the entire text was written upside down, Matthew had only one word to say: Absolutely brilliant!

Who would have thought that in a grimoire written in chronological order, there would suddenly be a passage written in reverse order?

When he saw the first sentence, his admiration suddenly arose.

Don't be surprised, this method is written for us transmigrators.

"How could you have predicted that?"

Clearly, the author of the magic book anticipated that someone else would travel to this strange world like him, which is why he wrote such a magic book in Chinese characters.

After translating the entire text, Matthew exclaimed, "Great Archmage above!"

This is comparable to the thesis he wrote before graduating from university. At first glance, it is full of gems, but without careful reading, it is impossible to understand.

Remember, magic is the foundation of humanity; relying on magical insects will only make you a coward.

If this were translated, the grimoire would definitely be destroyed in large quantities.

Because his very first sentence shattered the long-held belief in this world that the stronger the demonic insects, the stronger the humans.

Of course, the following sections also explain why this is the case.

Why do demonic insects possess magic? Because they have been eroded by magic over many years, gradually merging with it and becoming one with it.

But humans are never polluted, never go to filthy places, never do the things of wild beasts, and naturally never come into contact with the magic of nature.

He once conducted an experiment in which a newborn baby was placed in a magic crystal mine to grow up. When the baby grew into a teenager, although no magic power was generated, his perception of magic power was stronger than that of some third- or fourth-tier ability users.

So he began the next step of his research.

The boy was forced to come into close contact with magic crystals every day and eat one crystal every month. Regardless of whether he could digest it or not, he had to endure the pain of magic eroding his body.

Gradually, a year passed.

The boy was not tortured to the point of near death; on the contrary, his body became even stronger.

As soon as he steps out, the surrounding demonic insects will intentionally or unintentionally move closer to him, or more accurately, be attracted to him.

Even so, he still did not develop magic.

Until he grew into a young man, he was attacked by a demonic insect in an accident and was on the verge of death. With a lot of stimulation and magic guidance, magic began to grow in his body to nourish him.

In order to retaliate, he had no choice but to refine the demonic insects and become a power user.

Although this experiment did not continue, it inadvertently led to the creation of magic.

Having confirmed that the human body can generate magic, I decided to use myself as an experiment, removing the magical worm from my body to begin the trial.

After confirming the birth of magic, the author of the grimoire immediately began experimenting on himself, and naturally succeeded.

The amount of magic power that could be generated was too small to support him in refining higher-level magical insects.

There are essentially two ways to increase magic power.

[Firstly, by continuously absorbing magic crystals, one strengthens their own magical insects to increase their magical power.]

Secondly, he forcibly absorbed and refined higher-level demonic insects, using the feedback to increase his own magical power.

But regardless of the method, it relies on external forces rather than enhancing one's own magical power, which is not only costly and laborious but also extremely dangerous.

So he started the experiment again.

This time, he expanded his experimental subjects, selecting five teenagers of different genders and backgrounds.

The process of generating magic went very smoothly, and all five boys possessed magic, which made them very excited.

However, they were never allowed to come into contact with the demonic insects. Every day, they tried different methods to improve their own magical power, but the effect was minimal.

Gradually, some people began to find this kind of life unbearable.

He was already outstanding enough to possess magic power, and his starting point would have surpassed everyone else, but he was unable to refine the magic insects for a long time, and even the growth of his magic power seemed to have no future.

Two of the five chose to leave, while the remaining three were undecided.

Six months later, only one person remained.

However, a way to enhance magic power has not yet been found.

As time passed, the boy grew into a young man, but the magic power within him remained unchanged.

During this period, the four who had previously left began to demonstrate their abilities, making a name for themselves in various places and becoming the strongest representatives of the new generation.

Just when he was about to give up, an unprecedented method, one that had never been tried before, was presented to him.

[Take the power of the demonic insect and make it your own.]

With the creator of the Grimoire having shown him this path, the young man decided to give it one last shot.

After preparing a large number of magical insects, they are constantly stimulated by magical power, causing them to continuously release magical power.

They, on the other hand, are constantly absorbing.

This time, it was a success.

The youth's magic power continued to grow, and he soon reached the level of a second-tier ability user without any bottlenecks.

......

The contents of this chapter in the Grimoire end abruptly here, without saying what happens next, but Matthew felt it couldn't be that simple.

But you can give this method a try.

He then took out the few demonic insects that he had kept in the Lord of the Rings.

First, I experimented with disposable magic insects, but they themselves need magic power to be effective, so they naturally don't have much magic power inside them.

Matthew then turned his attention to the three first-tier magical insects.

He immediately unleashed red and blue magic, and with the combined effects of explosion and ice, the three demonic insects quickly couldn't withstand it and began to release their own magic in an attempt to block Matthew's stimulation.

The instant the magic left his body, Matthew seized the opportunity and absorbed it all back into his body.

"efficient!"

Feeling the increase in magical power within his body, Matthew's face lit up with joy.

Although the fluctuations are small, it is a real increase, unlike the storage and recovery methods used with magic crystals and magic potions.

Fortunately, it can continue. As long as the demonic insect can still release magic, he can keep absorbing it.

"The older generation is indeed wise."

Matthew repeated this process throughout the night, continuously increasing his magical power.

As dawn broke, Matthew reluctantly put away the three powerless demonic insects.

"It's been completely drained. Even if it recovers, it's impossible to refine and use it again."

After a night of hard work, Matthew clearly sensed that his magic was stronger than the day before when he had just refined and absorbed the second-tier explosive insect.

At this moment, with three second-tier magical insects, he wouldn't need to use the swarm of exploding insects if he were to fight Grek again.

He felt that he could fight back with his own strength.

"There's no recipe for advancing the Hidden Slug yet, but it's good enough even without advancing. Next, we should prepare a recipe to advance it to the third tier."

After considering it, he realized that the number of demonic insects in his body had reached its limit. Even if he added another first-tier one, a magical shackle would immediately appear.

The Exploding Bug can conveniently replace the Fire Bug and combine with the Ice Bug. Although the effect is not as good as the original combination, it can still be used.

After assessing his own strength, Matthew felt completely safe.

Unless he's a fourth-tier ability user or surrounded by a group of third-tier ability users, if he wants to run, no one can stop him.
