"Now I finally know how painful it must have been for those enemies to face me back then." Despite the dire situation, Dina still managed to crack a self-deprecating joke.
And in the process, Dina actually came up with a solution.
He is also growing.
The crisis brought about by Nemes, a newcomer, spurred Dina on.
He discovered that his strength had stagnated since he had grown to be just one step away from becoming a mythical species within the possibilities of his own world.
The possibility of arriving in the world of Nemus has been over six hundred years since the time of Hodatmenti.
For over six hundred years, its strength has not increased.
Facing Nems, he began to undergo a kind of transformation.
Even so, because of the fusion with another True Spirit, it cannot truly become a Mythical Species.
However, the breadth of his power is rapidly expanding.
"Yes, this is alchemy and destiny."
"The fact that the other party came here by means of Datmenley's curse was not a coincidence, but an inevitability under the influence of fate."
“I deceived Dartmenley and made him bear the curse, which naturally attracted his descendants.”
"The second generation of Datmenley left behind methods that caused Moro to go astray."
"It delayed the progress of my alchemical ritual."
"And finally, Nems arrived here."
"And all of this is essentially part of an alchemical ritual."
"I want to forge the Philosopher's Stone to kill any deviations or impurities in the fusion process."
“Then we must truly kill another ‘True Spirit’.”
"Equivalent exchange means that the superior treats the inferior as the superior, and the inferior treats the superior as the inferior."
At this very moment, Dina's understanding of alchemy was rapidly increasing.
In this way, he touched upon the realm of God.
请天假
I went to a wedding banquet today. I drove there and drove back, and I was exhausted on the way back.
My condition has been getting worse lately, so I'll be taking a few days off. Sorry.
Chapter 764 Mythical Alchemy
Dina stood atop the Silver City, yet seemed to be omnipresent.
"I see, alchemy is everywhere." Dina undoubtedly has some talent.
At a crucial moment, he grasped the true essence of alchemy and reached a special state—life itself is alchemy.
Dina was formed by the fusion of the remnants of two True Spirits.
The deaths of the two True Spirits in the past were a sign of corruption.
The fusion of the two results in a process of whitening.
Next, they used the alchemical ritual of the Silver City, which was used to forge the Philosopher's Stone, to undergo a transformation into a yellow stone.
Finally, if it can become a mythical species, then the final red transformation will be completed.
In terms of distance, he is still one step away from becoming a mythical being.
However, this step is completely different from what he did before.
“I’ve been on this path for a long time, but I thought I understood alchemy.”
“But alchemy is not such an inconvenient thing!” Dina’s body began to dissipate, like light, like mist, as if a person was standing there, yet also seemed to be with the entire Silver City.
Based on this observation, we can basically draw an incredible conclusion—Dina's entire being was transformed into an alchemical ritual.
He is now a ritualistic life form.
Its essence is an alchemical ritual that can self-increase, self-reproduce, and self-improve, possessing life and wisdom.
This result is not surprising.
Dina's human body had long been killed.
He hid himself in this silver city through an alchemical ritual, using Dartment's memories as a medium.
Overall, Dina had long been ritualizing her alchemy.
Previously, his understanding of himself was limited to 'memory'.
Only at this moment can we break through the limitations of this perception and truly achieve sublimation.
If Di Nai were to ascend to a Mythical Species at this moment, he would become Mythical Alchemist.
It is very likely to become a mythical species representing the concept of alchemy.
If he could become a god, then perhaps he would be the god of alchemy.
“There’s only one obstacle left!” Dina looked at Nemus, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
They achieved an unprecedented breakthrough, but Dina did not relax at all.
He knew one thing very well: Nemus definitely had a backup plan and had planted enough measures elsewhere to ensure his own safety and to threaten the entire process of the Philosopher's Stone's transmutation.
In this situation, any relaxation you make will only bring Nemes's knife one step closer to your neck.
At that moment, Nems felt an unprecedented sense of rejection.
The alchemical rituals throughout the entire Silver City came to life.
Each alchemical ritual can be seen as a special life form that coexists with Dina.
Nemus could clearly sense that a part of the alchemical ritual was currently experiencing extraordinary 'joy'.
The resentment he felt for being forced to submit by Nemus's threat to destroy Moro was finally atoned for at this moment.
This part of the alchemical ritual then quickly surrounded Donna.
At that moment, Donna clearly noticed the various changes.
The image of Nemus threatening Moro's life to demand something from the alchemical ritual that could break Moro's defenses flashed through Dona's mind.
"That's why Nemus needs you; you're just a pawn in his game."
"Give him up. Stand with the Silver City, and you will become another queen of the Silver City." The alchemical ritual swiftly granted Dona a promise.
"As long as you explain Nemus's arrangements clearly, even if the Silver City is gone in the future, our ritual will maintain your existence and make you the queen of the Alchemy Kingdom."
"Do you think... Lord Nemus didn't tell me these things?" Donna looked at the images without any change in expression, fully aware of what was going on.
After Nemus brought her back, he taught her secret techniques while also explaining all the details about the Silver City.
During this process, Donna naturally became aware of her own identity.
That's why he rejected Morro's 'love' so thoroughly back then.
"If I betray Lord Nemus, perhaps I can truly obtain what you speak of."
“However, I don’t think you will win in the end!” Donna was a kind but extremely rational person.
In a power struggle, she chose to side with Nems.
"Then, go die!" The alchemical ritual proceeded without any unnecessary movements, and Donna began to become ethereal.
The alchemical ritual couldn't harm Nemus, but a refresher like Donna couldn't withstand it.
The entire Silver City, standing atop Dartmenley's corpse, absorbed Dartmenley's memories, transforming those he knew into a series of refreshed beings.
Everything was orchestrated by the massive ritual of the Silver City.
In this process, the refreshed person is no longer human.
They don't even have souls; they are merely a living memory.
While all thoughts and personalities are based on the 'Undead Corpse,' the Silver City sustains their existence.
Once this support is lost, it will simply disappear.
Donna felt her own demise. Although she had known this for a long time, a great terror still gripped her heart at this moment.
That is the demise of one's own existence, the erasure of everything about oneself.
From then on, there was no trace of my existence.
Apart from the memories of a few other people, her real existence, her thoughts, and her pursuits have all vanished into nothingness.
This fear was attacking her mind relentlessly.
"As expected, I am afraid!"
"It was precisely because of this fear that I obtained the materials for the secret technique!" Donna said with a mixture of fear and joy.
Because fear is never a purely bad thing.
Fear means she is still alive; she is not just a memory.
Even if it's just a memory, she absolutely doesn't want to be forgotten!
and so……
"Secret Technique: Mind Knows Only Memory!"
Knowing only memories, a special secret technique developed by Nemus.
It is also the only way for these refreshed beings to save themselves.
They are all remnants of memory, so only memory can save them.
With fear, they confirmed their own hearts.
A web of emotions is being drawn out at this moment.
The refreshers under Nemes' command are now united, forming a network.
In this network, everyone's existence is remembered by others.
Ultimately, this memory became associated with Nemes.
This creates a special effect.
As long as someone is remembered by others within the mental network, their existence can be maintained.
It's essentially a departure from the Silver City's refresh system, with a new system built to maintain mutual support.
Chapter 765 Critical Time
The alchemist was not surprised at all by witnessing this scene.
This kind of thing was to be expected.
After all, Nemus had been researching arcane arts all this time.
Meanwhile, the savior Moro, inspired by what the second Dartment left behind, also delved into the study of arcane arts.
At that time, Moro showed signs of slipping out of control.
He used secret techniques as a gateway to find some barriers, and then wanted to make these Refreshers independent.
Some of the research findings became the technology of the reincarnated individuals.
However, the result was that just as the secret technique to maintain one's individuality was successfully completed, this incident involving the undead was exceptionally terrifying.
Having realized what was happening, Moro chose to sacrifice himself.
It was this sacrifice that rendered his secret technique ineffective.
During his regeneration process, the alchemical ritual castrated him and left him in shackles.
The current Moro has completely become a 'pet'.
In the city of silver, there is a playstyle called "pet-based strategy".
