Cat Sister is an example of this.

Her deck is almost entirely built around the theme of 'cats'.

The core pet cat doesn't really have much of its own consciousness; it's more like another 'avatar' of the cat sister.

As the card is used, the pet cat can merge with Cat Sister, giving Cat Sister various 'extraordinary cat' abilities. It can also be released separately to fight alone without having to personally step into the traps.

Even if the pet cat dies, you can get a replacement. With a period of adjustment, the fighting power will not be diminished.

Now, Morro is Dinai's 'cat'.

Nemus could only sense that Moro's power was growing stronger and stronger, and that every now and then, various faint lights would appear on his body.

This indicates that Dina is continuously using the power of the entire Silver City to empower Moro.

But that's not the point. The point is what refreshes people's perspectives beyond the event itself.

They could feel a powerful force rushing into their bodies.

Many people who have never exercised before have found themselves rapidly improving during this process.

Everything from the past is refined in this moment, and the useful experiences are rapidly empowered.

These people, who knew nothing, saw their past experiences transformed into cards appearing before them.

These people quickly became card users.

Some of the more experienced individuals even came to the Silver Seed under the influence of this force.

Even a latrine cleaner possesses silver-level latrine-cleaning skills.

This is what the Silver City is doing now, enabling countless people to become 'Silver Seeds of Life Professions'.

Although they may be the weakest of the silver-tier cards, their stats and synergy with the cards still qualify them as silver-tier cards.

In this situation, the presence of these people, as part of the alchemical ritual, is helping the entire ritual to quickly displace the aura on the corpse.

To be precise, it involves extracting the silver residue that had become one with the corpse.

After Dartmanley became a saint, he used an alchemical ritual to absorb the silver residue into his body, using his own body as an alchemical vessel to refine the Philosopher's Stone and ascend to the Mythical Species level.

However, it ultimately failed due to the interference of fate, and the sublimated silver was once again integrated into Dartmenley's corpse, causing the alchemical process to revert to its corrupted state.

However, Dartmanley overcame the final hurdle, and something special had already been generated inside.

Over the years, Dina's biggest problem has been how to promote albinoization without destroying the key to the Philosopher's Stone's path to the Mythical Species through reconstruction.

Previously, Dina had no other way but to purify people little by little by dividing their memories into refreshers.

Over the past few centuries, progress has been made slowly.

Given his connection to the remnants of the Dragon God and his possession of a portion of the Time Godhood, time is not a particularly rare resource.

If it weren't for the Sun God's pursuit and interception, he might have been able to travel to the Golden Age or even the Mythical Age.

As time flows, the time he possesses can be tens of thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years, or even countless years.

The time frame often depends on how the user uses the device.

For the gods, their time scale becomes incredibly long.

In this process, hundreds or thousands of years are not considered particularly long.

Because over the years, the essence of their lives has remained largely unchanged.

Fight against the gods, eliminate the demons who covet divine power, harvest the devout sacrifices of the believers, and then enjoy their long lives.

This uneventful life occupies most of the time, so much so that it has no meaning to the gods except during crucial moments.

Dina was in the same boat at this moment. Although several hundred years had already occupied ninety-nine percent of his life, he was still in the same situation.

But for the past few centuries, he has mostly been waiting, waiting for the Silver City to be refreshed time and time again, and then he has been studying alchemy again and again, making not much progress.

Until this moment.

His crucial moment has arrived.

"The slow, gradual push over hundreds of years has all been aimed at bringing you here," Dina said, looking at Nemus.

Nems' arrival made him feel threatened, and the threat stimulated his state.

That state where the soul is electrified, and countless inspirations flow and radiate, is truly something to miss and feel comfortable about.

A burst of inspiration allowed Dina to see through the essence of alchemy, no longer needing to slowly push the purification process.

That's why it was able to so quickly purify the Refreshers into Silver Species within the Silver City.

Dina could even abandon the remaining silver at this moment and turn around and leave.

As long as he obtains some mythical-grade materials, or kills more golden-grade materials, he will be able to start refining new philosopher stones once again.

Silver residue is no longer a necessary element.

Silver is merely an element that can be 'synthesized' in alchemical rituals.

However, Dina was not prepared to retreat.

Such is the struggle between true spirits.

The Sun God had the advantage of striking first, so He became the strongest, overwhelming the other True Spirits.

And the same is true here today. If Dinai retreats, he will give this place to Nemus.

So no matter how quickly he collects materials and reforges the Philosopher's Stone, he will still need 'time'.

Once this crucial time is lost, it is very difficult to make up for it.

If we want to catch up in the future, we will need to put in a thousand times, ten thousand times more effort.

A large number of humans were transformed into silver beings, and the entire alchemy ritual became rapid and efficient in the process.

More and more power is being applied to Moro.

This put increasing pressure on Nems.

With his subordinates eliminated, Nemus can only rely on secret techniques to sustain his existence.

He himself was also suppressed by Moro, and seemed to be forced into a desperate situation.

Chapter 766 Sharing is the highest form of behavior

Nemus squinted at DiNai, who had completed his ultimate evolution and was just one step away from it.

"You seem to care about me too much." Nemus had no choice but to use a secret technique to briefly break through the limitations of his [Swordsmanship].

With a series of sword strikes, Nemus cleaved Moro into countless pieces.

Then the power of the sword extends from the realm of reality into the concept of life and death, aiming to annihilate the existence of Moro.

Nemus's swordsmanship is not much weaker than Dina's alchemy.

If Dina hasn't reached the level of Mythical Alchemy, then Nemus's swordsmanship and Moro's alchemy should be on par.

Now, Dina has the upper hand.

This is normal. Although Dina has not made much progress in the past few hundred years, his alchemical research over these centuries has led him to make too many mistakes.

Even incorrect perceptions can be a form of accumulation.

With hundreds of years of accumulated experience, it's normal that his skills entered the realm of mythology ahead of others.

Nemus's superior swordsmanship allowed him to swiftly kill Moro.

But as he went deeper, Nemus began to feel the resistance.

Moro's existence is deeply intertwined with the entire alchemical ritual.

He himself is a crucial part of it all.

Although 'Moro's' body was killed, his existence was still functioning.

The secret technique of "The Cost of Numbers" was infused with alchemical rituals and then rapidly deepened, transforming into another, more advanced art.

Equivalent exchange!

One of the core truths of alchemy is that everything can be exchanged for its equivalent value.

Therefore, applying this truth to combat means taking it a step further and using force to interfere with everything in the world.

At this moment, Moro's existence was like a punch landing on his own 'death,' and then a further attack on the 'fact' of being stabbed.

In this way, Moro reversed his fate and was reborn in front of Nemus.

The next moment, he threw a punch at Nemes.

In Nems' eyes, this became a deal.

The other party wanted to use his punch to 'exchange' Nems's life.

The deal had already begun before the punch even landed.

Nemus could sense the compulsion inherent in this transaction under the alchemical ritual.

It was as if Nemes would be killed by Moro if he threw that punch.

However, at this moment, Dina's attention was not on this matter.

Nems' earlier words echoed in his mind.

“I care about you too much…” China couldn’t help but start thinking.

Although he is a true spirit, he is essentially a fusion of two losers.

With two failures, China's perception of her personality inevitably changed.

He could act perfectly normal with other people, but he couldn't help but feel fear towards a 'True Spirit' like Nemus.

He was afraid of failing again.

A single failure provides an excuse for the sun god's first-mover advantage.

The second failure provided an excuse that the sun god had created a powerful momentum.

If they fail again against Nemes the third time, then much of their necessity for existence will be erased.

This fear caused Dina to focus most of her attention on Nemus.

He ordered his men to besiege his subordinates, and had Moro keep an eye on him.

All of their fighting strength was suppressing him.

In this situation, he did indeed overlook a lot of things.

“Lord of the city…and…” Dina’s attention quickly spread, and then she saw the Lord of the city.

Besides, there are many other people who entered the [Ghoul Incident], and they have all undergone tremendous changes.

“It’s the reason from that previous infusion of the aura of the Netherworld Corpse…” Dina immediately realized.

After these people entered the [Ghoul Incident], Nemus infused them with the aura of the Netherworld Corpse, which caused their memories of their 'past lives' to return.

Countless memories from different eras flooded their minds, making them unusually quiet until then.

With just a few thought processes, Dina was able to follow Nemus's train of thought.

Dina's current strength lies in one aspect: his alchemy skills, Mythical Alchemy, have surpassed Nemus's swordsmanship.

On the other hand, there is the alchemical ritual built upon Dartmenli's corpse.

The entire ceremony was exceptionally complex, with multiple layers of different alchemical rituals nested within each other.

For example, card systems, refresh systems, purification systems...

The various systems are simply different alchemical rituals.

These rituals are intertwined, yet primarily focused on Dina's individual existence.

Because Dina used a portion of the Time Godhood as the core and as an equivalent, she suppressed the entire ritual and firmly grasped the sovereignty of the Silver City.

The other part of the sovereignty over the Silver City is in the hands of Nemus.

That was something Nemus inherited from Dartmenley through a blood curse.

The key to this thing is that it was forged by Dartmenli.

However, at this moment, Dina's expression became somewhat agitated. He looked at Nemus, his eyes filled with anger: "You actually... you actually granted access to these memory entities?!"
