Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 37 You are my work

After hearing the story of Bathgate's fall, Huey couldn't help but sigh.

The strangeness of the incident has far exceeded his imagination. The black warrior's serious injury and the disappearance of Simone's soul have nothing to do with the sinking of the Western Continent thousands of years ago. What about himself?

What is the status of one's own existence in the fate that has happened and has not yet happened?

he does not know?

He could only look at Galadia in front of him.

Galadia's expression at this time was very calm, apparently she had calmed down from the previous excitement.

Xiu Yi didn't even know whether the soul of Galadia or Electra was leading the other party at this moment.

So, the whole story of this incident was actually caused by Simone in the end, and only you and Simone saw the whole process of the truth. Then why is Simone not in your body now?

Galadia replied: After Bathgate completed the Immortal Coffin, he threw me into the bottom of the sea and put me into eternal sleep. Although I lost my freedom, I also escaped the disaster caused by the sinking of the continent. I slept on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and no one found me. Until one day, the Immortal Coffin suddenly rose by itself and left the water... I don't know what kind of force caused it. Mysterious changes, or this is the arrangement of fate, in short, the coffin of immortality escaped from the place of imprisonment, just floating on the sea surface, until it floated on the land...

Galadia's eyes were full of confusion, she was obviously recalling the past that happened. As a result, her voice appeared long and deep, and as she explained, a vivid picture appeared in Xiu Yi's mind.

Seven hundred years have passed since Galadia returned to the human world.

In the east, south and north continents, human beings have prospered and are reappearing their former glory.

Human beings are like weeds with tenacious vitality, no matter where they go, they can survive and develop tenaciously.

In the primitive stage, they are actually the creators of world civilization, but with the development of civilization, they will become the terminator of world civilization.

They are like cancer cells in the human body, they cannot live without and cannot spread.

When Galadia came, human society had already entered a period of glory, and magic civilization reappeared in the world, and it was not at all slower than the previous world.

They even have more original inventions in the field of alchemy, and the damage to resources is also more serious.

When the waves carried Galradia to the beach, the Immortal Coffin was discovered by fishermen in a small, remote fishing village.

People were surprised to find that in this snow-colored and transparent ice coffin lay a beautiful and suffocating woman.

She slept so peacefully, so quietly, that people could no longer divert their eyes after just one glance.

Although she was in the coffin, her face was so lifelike that it fascinated countless people.

The ignorant fishermen thought it was a gift from the gods, and enshrined the Coffin of Immortality and Galadia as fetishes.

With the passage of time, the existence of Galadia has gradually become a legend of the goddess of fate, and the belief has gradually been established.

See, sometimes it's that simple.

The rudiment of the Church of Natural Disasters actually developed from this small fishing village.

It's just that people at that time just had pure beliefs and no systematic teachings, until one day, Galadia woke up.

Galadia herself didn't know why she woke up, everything was so natural and simple, there was absolutely no logical reason for what happened.

She woke up like this, walked out of the coffin of immortality, and then saw countless people kneeling in front of her and worshiping the sky. At this time, the Immortal Coffin has been in this area for decades, and its believers have automatically developed to nearby towns.

There are tens of thousands of believers who regard her as the goddess of fate who will bring happiness every day.

The awakening of the goddess made everyone feel excited.

However, Galadia doesn't know how long she has been asleep, and the concept of time here is also very vague. The previous Western Continent calendar has no effect in the new continent. Galadia can't find a ruler to measure the time scale between the past and the present, so it has no way of knowing its own environment.

But the kind-hearted Simone firmly remembered what Bathgate said: He wants to destroy the world!

Problems arose from this, and Simone told her believers that evil is coming, and human beings should prepare early.

This is a very terrible prophecy, which was even opposed by countless believers in its spring. Some people even think that Simone is the goddess of disaster who brings terrible fate, and their beliefs are shaken.

At the same time, Simone found helplessly that because Bathgate was too powerful, she couldn't leave the range of ten meters away from the Immortal Coffin.

She couldn't even stay outside the coffin for a long time, and would go back to sleep in the coffin every once in a while.

This also means that when Simone wakes up, it is impossible to protect and take care of herself with her own strength.

She needs the help of her followers so that she can continue to survive.

But the suspicion and hatred of her believers made this problem difficult.

Fortunately, on this issue, Galadia, who failed to complete the fusion with Simone, is an absolute expert. As Laureate of the Temple, she knows people very well, what they want and what they fear.

She taught Simone that to guide believers, she should adopt the dual means of threats and lures. Throwing out words that the end is approaching will only scare those poor people, but if you add a suffix to this issue: as long as you are pious, you can get salvation, then the problem can be solved quickly.

So, with the help of Galadia, Simone gradually understood what she should do. Following Galadia's words, she began to establish teachings and preach resistance to the end. At that time, Simone and Galadia had no plans to fight against natural disasters.

They just want to make amends for the mistakes they have made and make sure they don't get hurt by it.

But soon, a sudden incident pushed the Church of Doomsday to the forefront—a gate of time and space suddenly appeared in the fishing village.

When the gate of time and space appeared, it also brought a small number of abyssal demons.

These terrible guys rushed into the fishing village, killing everyone they saw, and became bloodthirsty.

Galadia was forced to make a move under such circumstances. She herself is a seventh-level ice and snow mage, and the eternal barrier formed by the coffin of immortality makes her not have to worry about being attacked by anyone as long as she is in this barrier, because no one can hurt her in the barrier.

She easily killed all the abyssal demons.

As a result, the incident has undergone a qualitative change. More and more people have begun to believe in the theory that the doomsday is approaching, and the doomsday sect has grown like a snowball amidst the reputation of the goddess of fate. But Simone fell asleep for a long time and woke up occasionally, but completely maintained the mystery of God. Galadia's professional magic stick knowledge has achieved this perfectly. Using the fanaticism of believers, while developing the church, it has indicated the existence of the Coffin of Immortality as a secret, and only a small number of high-level believers are allowed to know its existence.

As the Laureate of the Western Continent, although Galadia is not as knowledgeable as the Great Elder Cripwell, she also has a wealth of magical knowledge. She bestowed magical knowledge on some high-ranking believers, making them her most loyal guardians.

Galadia was able to sleep peacefully in the Coffin of Immortality, awaiting her chance at freedom.

Time passed like this year after year.

The doomsday sect has experienced a series of inevitable experiences of the existence of all churches, such as rapid rise, suppression, war, decline and re-emergence. Galadia also gradually understood the changes in the world during this long-term development and struggle.

She finally knew that the place she was in was no longer the Western Continent.

The so-called doomsday has already come.

Of course, Galadia would not reveal this fact. Now that the Doomsday Sect has been established on this basis, it is no longer possible to easily change the teachings.

Fortunately, the portal of time and space appeared again.

While those demons from the abyss brought panic to people, they also brought good opportunities for the development of the doomsday sect.

Galadia hinted that Simone made a decisive move to destroy the demons and spread the theory of doomsday. The doomsday sect took advantage of the situation and expanded in an all-round way.

Galadia even cleverly thought of using the painting of the Sunset Maiden to spread her reputation. The bard Alec Doltri was actually a member of the Doomsday Sect. Under Galadia's instigation, he drew a copycat version of the Sunset Saintess to promote the theory of the Saintess' salvation. This is Galadia preparing for her future freedom. To be honest, this woman does have considerable ambitions. And Simone has no choice but to become her tool, because she is no longer as naive as before, knowing that on the road of religion and power, if she does not advance, she will retreat. Once people discover the secret of the saint, what awaits them may be very dire consequences.

Who would have thought that it was this second shot that caused the current accident... Galadia sighed helplessly.

Xiu Yi realized very sensitively that this might have something to do with Electra.

From the analysis of time, the second small-scale invasion of the abyss actually happened after Electra became famous. In other words, at that time, Electra had already commanded his puppet army and the death army in the abyss to engage in a life-and-death battle.

The gate of time and space that time is probably not the natural result of the power of the world? Xiu Yi asked carefully.

Galadia gave him an appreciative look, and the next moment, from the tone of voice, it could be heard that Electra's soul was leading the conversation: Yes, that was not a natural result, but the moment when I was in a difficult situation under the attack of the death army and realized that I had to return to the human world and develop this place into a logistics base for my army's supply. I was sent back to the Fengming Continent by the other me. At that time, the war was fierce. We had no time to return through the portal on Purgatory Island, so we could only use alchemy. Directly create an artificial time and space gate. You are the inventor of the teleportation circle, and you know that it is the same as the teleportation circle in theory, the difference is only in power.

Yes, I know, so this time the time and space are only opened, not a small-scale invasion of the abyssal demons, but a considerable scale of demons chasing and killing the returned Lord Electra?

That's right... I met Galadia under such circumstances. Do you know how shocked I was when I saw Galadia for the first time? You must know that I am a soul mage, and no one can understand the secrets of souls better than a soul mage. I can almost see that there are two completely different souls in her body at a glance. At the same time, I am still a sanctuary. I have a strong sense of the existence of all domains. I found a powerful domain breath on the coffin of immortality. I have never seen that breath...

then……

So I made a big mistake. After we teamed up to eliminate the abyssal demons that came after us, I had a short conversation with Simone. Do you know what the biggest problem of an alchemist is? Curiosity. Curiosity is the source of our exploration of the unknown world, and the basis for all our achievements. I can't understand the existence of Galadia, and I am eager to understand. And Simone wanted to leave this body in her dreams and return to her beloved man... So we reached a deal.

A deal?

Yes. Electra's beautiful face showed the expression of an old man: I helped her transfer her soul and gave her a free body, but she must let me use this current body so that I can study and understand it.

You are such a lunatic! Xiu Yi was dumbfounded when she heard that, You actually want to be a woman?

Great sacrifices come in exchange for great achievements, Hugh Iglesne, don't you understand this truth? Isn't that what I have been doing to dedicate myself to alchemy? I can recreate countless myself, so why is it impossible to try to understand what it feels like to be a woman? Electra didn't care about this at all: In fact, I have never regretted the decision to be myself, but I didn't expect that such behavior would bring serious consequences... I can no longer leave.

Why?

Because of Galadia. When I was negotiating with Simone, Galadia didn't exist. Although Simone couldn't integrate Galadia's soul, she still dominated. Galadia never had a chance to control her body. She can only be a bystander in this world, never a participant. Everything she does can only be done through Simone. If Simone doesn't agree, she has nothing to do. Simone is a pure girl, she didn't expect to be in this transaction Here, Galadia’s feelings, and for Galadia, this is her best chance to get her body back, so she hibernates, she waits...so my troubles appeared.”

Electra sighed: According to the agreement, I will transfer Simone's soul out first. This is not too difficult for me. Then I will put my soul into Galadia's body, split it there, and then return half of it back to my own body. Splitting the soul is a very complicated and dangerous process, and I have to be very careful to complete it. It was different once. It was the first time in my life that I entered a body with two souls. I didn't expect that the soul of Galadia would suddenly launch a counterattack when I was most vulnerable...

Huey knew exactly what was going to happen next.

He said: I guess...you two souls fought a battle in the body of Galadia. Although you are a sanctuary, you can't exert the power of a sanctuary in terms of soul. And splitting your soul makes you weaker. So you didn't win.

Yes, in fact, half of my split soul was destroyed by her... this vicious woman. Electra sighed helplessly: Fortunately, I finally survived. In this way, my body died, and I can only live in this body of Galadia. That was what I was after, but as we know, this body has become a trap, and I can only enter but cannot exit. I cannot control Galadia's soul, so I cannot split again.

Because of the Coffin of Immortality, this body cannot be freed either. So Galadia became a prisoner of the Coffin of Immortality, and you, the great Electra, became a prisoner of this body? Huey had to admire the bizarre development of the world for being so unimaginable.

indeed so.

Finally understood, but there were still some questions Huey needed to understand: What about Simone? Where did her soul go?

The picture of the Virgin of the Sunset, I put her soul in the picture of the Virgin of the Sunset. The picture of the Virgin of the Sunset painted by Bathgate for Simone is a very interesting work of alchemy. Bathgate's knowledge of alchemy is limited, and he does not know that it is actually a soul container. Unlike ordinary soul containers, you must first take a picture of the appearance of the soul before you can place its soul. I guess the person who invented this picture is the same as me. He is also studying the secret of soul transfer, but his technology Obviously not enough, no direct transfer, only temporary storage.

Temporary storage?

Yes. Electra nodded affirmatively: Simone's soul can't stay in that picture for too long, and I don't know exactly how long. But for the promise I made, I didn't want to kill the poor little girl, so I put the picture in a place with powerful magic power. There it can ensure that the picture of the Maiden of the Sunset will always be effective, so that Simone's soul will not dissipate due to having nothing to rely on.

Where did you put it? Xiu Yi asked anxiously.

Electra spread her hands: Unfortunately, I don't remember.

What did you say? Xiu Yi was taken aback.

This is true, Hugh Iglesel. I don't remember. Maybe you don't believe it, but in fact, the me now is just the soul of an ordinary old man who has memories of past events. I don't remember any of my alchemy knowledge or some of my subsequent actions.

Why? Huey yelled.

This has something to do with you, Huey. Electra said slowly, After finding out that I had become a prisoner of a body, I made a very risky attempt in order to get rid of all this.

I went to the Tower of Alchemy. I used dream crystals and pure energy bodies to create a huge astronomical star map. I left most of my knowledge and memory there, and built a complete world of pure energy bodies. Because I need these small things to help me do one thing.

Xiu Yi's voice trembled slightly: What's the matter?

He obviously had a very bad feeling.

He looked at Xiu Yi and said word by word: Based on the entire universe, search for all possible souls, and try to carry out a perfect fusion of two souls.

These words made Xiu Yi fall into an ice cave.

Electra's voice was full of sympathy: Yes, Huey. Do you understand, right? That person is you. Your existence...is my work, a work invented for me to escape from this cage. I have been waiting for your arrival for too long.
