Chapter 583 Evil Silver Gradient
If there is anything that has kept Amber interested for so many years after the time travel, alchemy would definitely be at the top of the list.
Even though Amber Xiu is a dabbler, he still likes to tinker with all kinds of bottles and jars.
And conducting experiments in the kingdom of the God of Alchemy is what all alchemists dream of.
All kinds of materials are readily available, and various experimental equipment can be used however you want, without having to worry about any danger or waste.
After being busy for several days, Amberxiu had hundreds of various potions and parts piled up in front of him, as well as a giant mercury spirit figurine.
This mercury zombie has a story to tell. It is the first of the mercury zombie family created by Amber.
The oldest, the wisest, and the strongest.
Proudly given the name "Evil Silver Gradient" by Ambersu, he used to be only the size of a fist, but now the swaying ball is taller than Ambersu.
Not only that, the evil silver gradient could speak, and at this moment, he looked at Amber Xiu with his white eyes in confusion, and asked in a low voice: "Great God of Bones, why do you bind me here?"
The evil silver gradient still remembers that when he was just born, the first thing he saw was the white skeleton face of Ambersu. From then on, he knew who his creator was and was absolutely loyal to Ambersu.
Amber explained: "This is the kingdom of the God of Alchemy. I need you to sacrifice for me. Are you willing?"
"My life and soul are gifts from God, and I am willing to give everything for my God."
Amber nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps this was the advantage of being a racial god. He could really have a group of servants who would devote everything to him.
Amber touched the evil silver gradient's head and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, safety can still be guaranteed, but it may be painful."
Evil Silver Gradient asked doubtfully, "Pain... like the Holy Slash?"
Soon after the Evil Silver Gradient was born, Amber was sent by him to fight Allen. At that time, the little guy was hit by a Holy Slash and screamed shrilly. However, this may be the only injury the Evil Silver Gradient has ever received in its life. From then on, it lived a leisurely life of eating and drinking. Later, after it began to reproduce, the Evil Silver Gradient no longer had to go to the battlefield.
Later, I don't know where he learned this way of chatting, making Amberxiu look like an ancient evil god.
Amber thought about it for a moment, then said, "It might hurt more."
The evil silver gradient said firmly: "It doesn't matter, my will is as strong as steel!"
"Okay, then..." Amber nodded to the God of Alchemy. The experimenter's emotions were stable and they could begin.
Dozens of mechanical arms hung down from mid-air, and the tips of the knives containing divine power began to pierce into the evil silver-gradient body, trying to "cut" this liquid-like body.
However, as soon as the tip of the knife touched the evil silver-gradient's body, this guy opened his mouth excitedly.
“Ahhhh!”
An ultra-high frequency scream was heard, causing the God of Alchemy to frown, and the magic mirror possessed by Amberxiu even had its surface cracked.
The God of Alchemy looked at Amberxiu speechlessly, and Amberxiu looked at the evil Silver Gradient even more speechlessly. What happened to his will as strong as steel?
"Let's use anesthesia." Amber said helplessly.
The God of Alchemy smiled and said, "You are very similar to me in your habit of telling lies."
Amber Xiu retorted: "You are a god, don't spread rumors, otherwise people will really believe it. I am very self-aware and never boast that my will is as strong as steel."
Amber Xiu has always admitted that he is a fragile mortal in terms of willpower. He is afraid of death, greedy for money, lustful, has no patience for work, and cannot endure hardships. He has stumbled to where he is today, mostly due to luck and cleverness.
The God of Alchemy took out a bottle of potion and fed it to the Evil Silver Gradient. The mercury spirit figurine, which obviously did not eat anything except metal, was able to absorb this potion. After a while, it completely collapsed, just like ordinary mercury.
Fortunately, the master and disciple were well prepared and directly put the evil silver gradient into a container.
The operation began, and various medicines were poured into the evil silver gradient. These were medicines specially formulated for the physique of the mercury spirit figurine. After a while, the evil silver gradient was dyed into a gold gradient.
Then the roaring hell engine was roughly stuffed into the body of the evil golden gradient.
When the two came into contact, the hideous engine seemed to melt and perfectly integrated into the body of the evil golden gradient.
The two were perfectly compatible, eventually turning the gold back into the color of mercury, and no mechanical structure could be seen inside.
The operation was considered to be very successful. In addition to the Hell Engine, various divine spells were also bestowed, all of which were carried out in the dream of the evil silver gradient.
When the evil silver gradient woke up, a strange light shone from his body.
Amber Xiu said in surprise: "This is not right! According to our design, there is no such light!"
The God of Alchemy frowned and said, "You're using too much force. This guy has already surpassed the power allowed by the mortal world and is already considered a god of weaker power!"
As soon as the God of Alchemy finished speaking, the Evil Silver Gradient opened his eyes and let out a low roar.
Amber Xiu only felt a huge pressure coming down, as if it was going to completely crush the magic mirror that possessed him.
Amberxiu had seen too many gods, and this was undoubtedly the pressure that only gods could have. Mortals could not look directly at it, nor could they resist it.
Fortunately, the God of Alchemy reacted quickly. With one blow of the hammer, he created a metal cage and locked up the evil Silver Gradient.
As the cage isolated the pressure of the evil silver gradient, Amber Xiu felt relieved and asked quickly: "How can you become a god directly? It's so easy to become a god. Doesn't it require Io's permission?"
"Those are the rules that only exist in some planes. They are rules set to prevent gods from bullying mortals. But this guy is in my kingdom of God. As long as he is not released, Io will generally not care.
"It's just like how Talos could easily turn a lich into a god, but from then on Velsharoon would become his vassal and be enslaved in the Tower of Ruins. This guy is almost the same. I gave him too much divine power, which allowed him to break through the level of mortals.
"But it doesn't matter. As long as he is not released outside the Kingdom of God, he will not pose any threat."
Amber Xiu was not as calm as the God of Alchemy, and couldn't help asking: "What if he runs away?"
The God of Alchemy said, "That's bad. Not only will he be punished by Io immediately, but I will also be implicated. Maybe a bolt of lightning will strike me back into a mortal."
"This is your kingdom of God, he shouldn't be able to escape, right?" asked Amber Xiu.
Amber Xiu had never considered killing the evil silver gradient. After all, it was the first complete life form he created, and he had some feelings for it. In addition, the God of Alchemy had consumed too many resources and divine power for this experiment, and it would be a big loss to destroy this experiment directly.
And this is not just an ordinary loss. It will cause the God of Alchemy's divine power to decline. I wonder how many years it will take before he can accumulate strength again and break through.
"Don't worry, there is no problem with this. I transformed the kingdom of God to avoid Rose's revenge. Without my consent, there is no way he can escape, unless his power is strong enough to kill me."
Amber Xiu quickly said, "Bah, stop saying unlucky things!"
"Haha, you clearly want to get rid of the shackles of fate, but you are afraid of this. Don't worry, I am not at the mercy of the goddess of fate. If it really doesn't work, I will take back my blessing and turn him into a mortal again."
Seeing the God of Alchemy's confident look, Amber felt a little relieved.
This is indeed the truth. In the kingdom of God, the gods are the greatest. Even someone as powerful as Talos would not go to cause trouble in other gods' kingdoms because he really cannot defeat them.
The Evil Silver Gradient is a "god" born with the blessing of the God of Alchemy. Its power has only reached the level of a god, but it does not truly possess a priesthood recognized by Io. This kind of god can be taken back at any time.
"In this case, let's test it according to the original plan."
The Evil Silver Gradient was originally just a "prototype" and after testing it needed to go through a series of degradations before it could really be expanded.
Since safety can be guaranteed, continue the experiment.
The God of Alchemy took out a bunch of enchanted equipment for the Evil Silver Gradient to devour. Although this guy became a god after waking up, he still seemed to be as ignorant as before.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He was very respectful in front of Amberxiu, and had a good appetite. He accepted all the enchanted equipment that was brought to his mouth.
Amber Xiu first let this guy swallow the elves' magic-breaking equipment. Sure enough, the moment it was digested, the elves' unique magic-breaking runes appeared on the body of the Evil Silver Gradient. Although it disappeared quickly, as long as the Evil Silver Gradient remembered it, the rune would reappear.
A spike was randomly created, and this spike had a magic-breaking effect, and was even stronger than the original one. After all, the evil silver gradient was now able to use the power of the gods, so it was naturally better than the magic equipment of mortals.
Then there are other magical equipment. No matter whether it is a damaging enchantment or the effects of various spells, as long as it is swallowed, Evil Silver Gradient can quickly master it.
But his appetite was not endless. After he ate until his body doubled in size, this guy finally couldn't eat anymore.
"I'm so full and tired, great God of Bones, I want to take a nap." The evil silver gradient pleaded.
Amber Xiu could only comfort him, "Go to sleep and have a good rest."
He went back and took the experimental report to discuss it with the God of Alchemy. Now he can basically confirm that this guy has achieved the experimental expectations perfectly. His ability to devour magic is incredibly powerful, and his magic resistance and physical resistance are frighteningly high. If he continues to devour and accumulate, it is possible that even the gods will not be able to cause any harm.
The experiment is now ready to move on to the next stage, which is to try to allow the evil silver gradient to reproduce and see if the offspring will show signs of degeneration of ability.
If obvious degradation is confirmed, we can try to send it back to the main material plane for promotion after a few generations of reproduction.
Amber looked at the evil silver gradient trapped in the cage. After this guy evolved, he started to mumble in his sleep. Can this guy really help solve the problem of the Alchemy God's promotion? What if the child born does not degenerate in other aspects but only loses IQ?
Amberxiu's worries are not without reason. It seems that most of the powerful offspring of life will become weaker at a very fast rate.
The dragon race is the best example. Pure-blooded dragons have difficulty reproducing. It takes an unknown amount of time and effort to hatch a dragon, and it is even more difficult to raise it. The dragon race can be said to be the most pampered of all races.
Otherwise, the overseas dragon clan would not have become worse and worse and weaker.
Dragons also like to mess around with other races, so reproduction is not difficult at this time. All races that are mixed with dragons seem to be like they have been injected with hormones. They are not only physically strong, but also particularly easy to grow.
The kobold race is the most famous dragon hybrid. They are born in batches and their numbers are comparable to those of goblins.
But the power of the gnolls cannot compare to that of the dragons. What has degenerated is not only their strength and magic, but also the most important wisdom.
The average intelligence of dragons exceeds that of humans and elves. After all, dragons have inherited wisdom and can stuff anything into their brains. As long as they grow up, they will become qualified dragons who have received "universal education."
But the races with dragon blood are different. Most of them have low IQ and rely on the little magic power brought by their blood to maintain the survival of the race.
This is the rule, strong individuals find it difficult to reproduce, and races that can easily reproduce are generally not strong.
Some races choose the average, such as orcs. They are very fertile and their individual strength is not bad, but their upper limit is not as good as humans and elves, so they can only maintain the lower limit.
Human beings are the most special kind. Their lower limit can be very low, with weak and stupid individuals everywhere, but they are also particularly prone to producing geniuses, and there are countless strong and smart heroes.
Amberxiu now only hopes that the descendants of the Evil Silver Gradient will follow the path of the orcs. It doesn't matter if the upper limit is low, as long as the controllability is high. Only in this way can his descendants truly reproduce on a large scale, thus promoting alchemy again.
However, both Amberxiu and the God of Alchemy overlooked one thing. The Evil Silver Gradient was the first individual in the Mercury Zombie Family, and now he had gained powerful strength, breaking through the shackles of mortals and becoming a god.
Even though this deity had no priesthood blessings and had not received Ao's permission, the rules stated that the Evil Silver Gradient naturally became the racial god of the Mercury Zombies.
Just as he was sleeping, countless voices rang in his mind. They were the voices of all the mercury ghost figurines.
Most of these little guys are ignorant, like children of four or five years old, and the only things they think about every day are eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping. As a group of special lives specially raised by Amber, the mercury spirit figurines have always lived a good life, and most of them have no negative emotions that need to be resolved.
But it is not 100% true. The evil silver gradient in its deep sleep sensed the negative emotions coming from a mercury spirit figurine.
It was a naughty kid who was too smart and bypassed the guards and quietly ran out of the underground Mercury City.
However, the number of mercury spirit figurines has exceeded ten thousand, and no one would notice if one or two were missing.
This naughty kid is more curious than his peers. He escaped from the place where he was kept and curiously explored this underground world.
However, he was still too weak, and now he was captured by a group of smurfs and trapped in a huge bottle.
The evil silver gradient sensed the little guy's fear, anger and despair.
He was praying to the great God of Bones, hoping that his Creator would save him.
There had been no response before, and the little guy was about to die in despair after not swallowing metal for a long time.
And this time, something in the distant darkness seemed to answer his prayers.
The evil silver gradient grumbled in his sleep: "Whoever bullies my child! Die, die!"
Instinct drove the evil Silver Gradient to respond to the naughty child who ran away from home.
Deep in the Underdark, the bottle that trapped the Mercury Zombie shattered with a bang, and a Mercury Zombie with runes shining all over its body appeared in the darkness.
