Chapter 602: Differences in Alchemy

Mercury is not a rare commodity.

In hell, even gold is worthless and is not much more expensive than ordinary copper and iron.

But mercury usually exists in the form of ore, and the mercury in front of us is of very high purity, as if it was specially smelted by someone.

Not only that, the mercury flowing out of the space crack also has a strange smell, like the stench of the devil, but it seems to be mixed with something else.

Paruliel could only guess that there was a large amount of mercury in this space passage haunted by demons. She opened it a little and let the mercury flow out.

Although it was unexpected, Paruliel thought it was not worth worrying about.

The space in this area is chaotic. Let alone mercury, it would not be strange even if a dragon appeared.

Anyway, it's fine as long as you catch it. Parulil stabilized the space crack and fixed the position first before trying to open it. This is quite risky, no one knows what the situation is on the other side. If a large number of demons pour in after opening it, or a clone of Demogorgon jumps out directly, it will be a big problem.

But Parulil was a lunatic, and He didn't care.

The huge magical power tried to stabilize the space crack and began to expand the passage little by little, enough to accommodate at least one person to pass through and explore the situation on the other side.

And this so-called big does not refer to size in the literal sense.

Shrinking is not a difficult spell, and Paruriel can do it. What is really needed is the stability of this channel. In order to effectively block the battlefield, Bayer spent a lot of time to arrange various restrictions. Not only did he divide the Blood River battlefield into a maze, but more importantly, he suppressed the "access level" of these space channels. This battlefield was divided into the periphery, which was for those weak devil troops to deal with. Generally, there would be no Demogorgon clones coming out to mow down the enemies.

What Paruliel needs to do now is to break this limitation and dig out a space channel that He can pass through.

This was undoubtedly a serious provocation to Bayer, but Paruliel didn't care. He was going to get in and take a look at what the Styx looked like.

Magic power began to flow in, and the tiny space cracks also grew larger, slowly changing from gaps to holes and becoming the size of a fist.

However, no one knew what had been touched, but as the hole grew to the size of a washbasin, the originally sparse mercury suddenly surged out, splashing all over Parulil's face like a fountain.

This wasn't water, but mercury, which had a higher density than most metals. Even though it was liquid, it still hit Paruriel hard under the high pressure.

The heavy mercury washed heavily on Paruliel's face, but He could not hide, nor let go, because as soon as He let go, the space crack that was not a problem would run away.

There was no telling how many tons of impact force Paruliel was bearing, and her skin was almost torn apart, before she could barely stabilize the space crack.

However, when He let go of her hand, Paruliel was hurled to the ground by the mercury fountain.

At this moment, the location of the magic circle has been covered with countless mercury, forming a small mercury pool.

Parulil climbed out of the mercury pool in a panic, looked at the still surging silver liquid column, and cursed fiercely: "Damn it, you underestimated the rules of the Blood River Fortress."

The space crack has been stabilized and will not move around, but Paruliel finds that the current state is already the limit.

In order to ensure that demons do not run around, the Blood River Fortress has very strict restrictions on the entry and exit rules. Just now, Paruliel wanted to create a space channel large enough for himself to pass through, but found that the upper limit was reached and a god like him could not get through at all.

If you want to continue expanding this space channel, you must first demolish the entire Blood River Fortress.

What made Paruliel even more helpless was that she had triggered the Blood River Fortress's magic countermeasures. After detecting that someone had expanded the space channel without authorization, the space channel was forcibly fixed.

In other words, even if Paruliel wanted to close the space channel now, she couldn't do anything and could only watch the mercury continue to pour out.

And there are even bigger troubles ahead. The Blood River Fortress has probably sent elite troops to check it out. If Paruliel can't give a reasonable explanation, Melina will be in trouble.

Paruliel had no choice but to take out the magic mirror and contact Ambersu.

After briefly explaining the matter and letting Amberxiu see the mercury lake that had already taken shape, Amberxiu uttered a matter-of-fact sneer.

"You can't even do such a small thing, Paruliel, you are really depraved. After hundreds of years in hell, even your brain must have rusted."

Paruliel gnashed his teeth in hatred, but this time it was indeed his fault. He had rarely been to the first level of hell, nor had he participated in bloody battles, so he didn't quite understand the details.

"I will take care of Zariel and Bayer and will not let Melina be punished."

Amber Xiu spoke very confidently now, as if he was the one who created hell.

Parulil looked at the Mercury Lake and was about to plug the hole, but she heard Amber Xiu say, "Wait a minute, are you sure this space channel can lead to the Styx?"

"In theory... yes, but I haven't been in there myself, so I can't say for sure."

Parulil was not sure, but the smell of demons could not be faked. The pool of mercury was full of the stench of demons. There must be a large number of demons on the other side. Even if they could not reach the tributary of the Styx directly, they should be able to find the direction to the Styx.

Amber thought for a moment, then said, "Then I'll talk to Bayer, and this place won't be blocked for the time being."

"What do you want to do?" asked Paruliel.

"I have a creature that is quite suitable for this kind of environment. Maybe I can ask them to help explore the way."

What Amber was talking about was of course the mercury spirit figurine, but the mercury spirit figurine was no longer the same as before. The evil silver gradient was raised in the kingdom of the god of alchemy, plump and shiny, and its divine power increased at an incredible speed.

If this continues, it will easily get out of control. The God of Alchemy even thought about disassembling the evil silver-gradient hell engine, but Amber found that this guy only grew in strength, his soul did not change much, and his personality was not affected, so he suggested that the God of Alchemy observe him more.

After all, this little guy has been with me for a long time, and reverse surgery can easily kill the evil silver tabby.

The God of Alchemy finally agreed with Amber's statement. Both the master and the disciple were not the kind of scientific maniacs who had lost their humanity, and they both understood one thing in their hearts.

Alchemy is destined to create something more powerful than oneself.

The creations of other gods are always weaker than themselves, because their creations divide their own power, and naturally they cannot be more powerful than themselves by lending their own power.

But alchemy is different. Just like when humans forge swords, swords are stronger than fists and teeth. Humans create puppets, and the power of machines is stronger than humans themselves.

Alchemy is such a concept, using materials, magic, and everything in the world to make up for one's own shortcomings and complete impossible tasks for oneself.

If you are afraid that what you create will be better than yourself, then never become an alchemist, because such an alchemist will never achieve anything in his life.

Since the evil silver gradient is not out of control, it should continue to be cultivated.

However, what Amber was talking about was not this increasingly powerful creation, but another group.

The evil silver gradient has reproduced several times in the kingdom of God, and the offspring that split have indeed shown very obvious ability degradation. After three or four generations of continuous splitting, there are now thousands of mercury spirit figurines in the Alchemy Kingdom, and the abilities of the latest generation of mercury spirit figurines have basically solidified.

To put it in more professional terms, the genes are basically stable and there will not be much change if they continue to divide and reproduce.

The power of these mercury zombies is weak enough to allow them to leave the kingdom of God and enter the main material plane.

Since a mercury pool has just been opened here and he needs to explore the underground abyss, he might as well let these little guys help out.

Although their power is far inferior to that of the evil silver gradient, that is compared with the "gods". This new generation of mercury spirit figurines retains a small amount of attributes.

They can still devour various magical items to strengthen themselves, but it can only last for a period of time. The effect will disappear after digestion. Secondly, their resistance cannot be stacked infinitely, but they can also reach a level close to magic immunity by eating a lot in a short period of time, and maintain it for a period of time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There is one last point, which is also the most powerful aspect of this group of mercury zombies - they possess inherited wisdom and are smarter than most humans.

Humans need a lot of time to grow from a child to an adult, and they also need to learn to acquire knowledge and wisdom. However, the mercury zombies, a parthenogenetic creature, can directly copy their memories when they split.

This will allow the Mercury Zombie to enter a "mature" state in a short period of time, saving a lot of learning time.

But it is not without flaws. After all, the ancestor of the Mercury Spirit Figurine is a fictitious soul created by Amberxiu, and when Amberxiu started working on it, he was researching it purely for the purpose of saving costs, so it is not perfect.

Therefore, the fifth generation of mercury spirit figurines had problems with lifespan. The mercury spirit figurines of this generation could only reproduce offspring twice at most, and then their souls would quickly weaken until death.

Amberxiu has tested it by accelerating time and found that the lifespan of the fifth-generation mercury spirit figurines is only five to seven years. Even if their division and reproduction are intentionally restricted, the longest they can live is no more than ten years.

This characteristic is actually a good thing. At least it limits the number of mercury spirit figurines to a certain extent. Otherwise, Amber would not dare to release them.

And isn't the most suitable place for the mercury spirit figurine to live the environment in front of us?

It would be great to let them explore the unknown space channel.

However, how to put a large number of mercury spirit figurines into hell is a problem. These little guys are just born, they are not guilty, and they will not go to hell after death. Even if Amber Xiu cruelly orders them to commit suicide, the result is that they will be transformed into various devils after going to hell, and it is impossible to maintain the original race.

Unless you use the artifact given by Zariel to open the gate of hell directly like Melina did.

But it was easy for Melina to enter hell alone, but Ambersu wanted to let an entire race in, so a gate to hell cut by a sword would not be enough.

Hell is not a nice place, but it is not a place you can just go to whenever you want.

Either we need to get Zariel's consent and open a passage directly, or we need to find another way. Amber Xiu still has a few books about hell at home, so we can go back and read them.

Amberxiu had never thought that Zariel would agree, or had prepared himself to be severely slaughtered by him.

However, when Amber appeared in front of Zariel with the idea of ​​giving it a try, the fallen angel gave him a puzzling smile.

When Amber explained his request, Zariel agreed without much hesitation.

"Don't worry. I've already told Bayer about Melina's situation. Your magic mirror is already the most important combat material for Hell. Melina's little trouble is nothing. The demons of the abyss have thought about breaking through the space blockade more than once. We have seen too many such things. It's not worth mentioning. As for the mercury figurine you mentioned, I will give you a scroll of the gate of hell. You can set the position of the gate at will."

Amber looked at the scroll that Zariel handed over and didn't dare to reach out to take it.

This doesn't make sense. When did Zariel become so easy to talk to?

"Xirik, it's you again?" Amber asked in a deep voice.

I had just strengthened my defense, but it was broken by this damned Prince of Lies so quickly, creating an illusion for myself again? Zariel frowned and said, "Xirik? What are you talking about?"

Amber was stunned for a moment. This time, the illusion did not break. Was it a double hint from Xirik or was it because he made a mistake? Amber simply said frankly, "Nothing. It's just that your reaction today made me feel unreal. Grand Duke Zariel, although we are in a cooperative relationship, you seem too easy to talk to today."

"Hahaha." Zariel laughed and said to Amber, "You are used to speculating about others with a malicious mind. You have also been assimilated by hell. You can be considered a qualified devil."

Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "You think too much. I was like this before I went to hell."

Amber did not say the second half of the sentence. Zariel's laughter just now was to change the subject. He must be hiding something. There shouldn't be any problem with this scroll of the Gate of Hell, right?

But Amberxiu couldn't understand why "He" had any reason to do this. He didn't want to get it for free. He just offered a price and everyone could talk slowly. What was the reason for this conspiracy? Zariel didn't want to explain. After throwing the scroll to Amberxiu, he threw the magic mirror away, regardless of whether Amberxiu agreed or not.

Only after Amber disappeared into the palace did Zariel wipe the cold sweat from his head.

He was too eager and had aroused others' suspicion. But there was nothing he could do. Heaven Mountain was right in front of him. Zariel wished he could grow a few more pairs of wings and fly back. He had no time to negotiate with Amber.

Moreover, it is very difficult to maintain his own condition now. Zariel doesn't dare to talk to Amber for too long, for fear that he will see through the changes in his body.

"It's not the right time yet, but I'm almost able to transform back into an angel. Then I'll confront him and ask him to help me contact the Lord of Dawn."

Zariel knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly: "Oh, Io, please give me a little more time. This is my last chance. Even if it means I will perish completely, I will not stay in hell any longer!"
