This Lich Needs More Money

If there is anything that has kept Amber Xiu interested for so many years after traveling through time, alchemy is definitely the first.

Although Amber Xiu is a half-baked person, he still likes to play with all kinds of bottles and jars.

And doing experiments in the kingdom of the God of Alchemy is the dream of all alchemists.

All kinds of materials are readily available, and all kinds of experimental equipment can be used as you want, without any fear of danger or waste.

After being busy for several days, Amber Xiu had hundreds of various potions and parts piled up in front of him, as well as a huge mercury spirit figurine.

This mercury spirit figurine is worth mentioning. It is the first of the mercury spirit figurine clan created by Amber Xiu.

The oldest, the wisest, and the strongest.

Proudly given the name "Evil Silver Gradient" by Amber Xiu, he used to be only the size of a fist, but now the swaying ball is taller than Amber Xiu.

Not only that, the evil silver gradient can speak. At this time, he was looking 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 Amber Xiu's white skeleton face. From then on, he knew who his creator was and was absolutely loyal to Amber Xiu.

Amber Xiu 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 all given by God. I am willing to give everything for my God."

Amber Xiu nodded with satisfaction. This may be the advantage of the racial god. He can really have a group of servants who devote everything to him.

Amber touched the head of the evil silver gradient and comforted him, "Don't worry, safety can still be guaranteed, but it may be very painful."

The evil silver gradient asked doubtfully, "Pain... like the Holy Slash?"

The evil silver gradient was sent by Amber to fight with Allen shortly after it was born. At that time, the little guy was hit by the Holy Slash and screamed. However, this may be the only injury that the evil silver gradient has ever suffered in its life. From then on, it was 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 I learned this way of chatting, making Amber like the ancient evil god.

Amber thought about it, and then said, "It may be more painful."

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, and the experimenter was emotionally stable and could start.

Dozens of mechanical arms dropped from midair, and the blades with divine power began to pierce into the body of the evil silver gradient, trying to "cut" this liquid body.

However, as soon as the blade touched the body of the evil silver gradient, the guy opened his mouth excitedly.

"Ahhh!"

The ultra-high frequency scream came out, shaking the God of Alchemy frowning, and the magic mirror possessed by Amber Xiu even cracked the mirror surface.

The God of Alchemy looked at Amber Xiu speechlessly, and Amber Xiu looked at the evil silver gradient even more speechlessly. What about the will as strong as steel?

"Let's use anesthesia." Amber Xiu 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 greedy for life and death, greedy for money, lustful, impatient and unable to endure hardships. He has stumbled to where he is now, mostly due to luck and cleverness.

The God of Alchemy took out a bottle of potion and poured it into the evil silver gradient. The mercury spirit figurine, which obviously eats nothing but metal, can absorb this potion. After a while, it completely collapsed, just like ordinary mercury.

Fortunately, the master and apprentice were well prepared and directly put the evil silver gradient in a container.

The operation began, and various potions were poured into the evil silver gradient. These were potions 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 gold gradient.

When the two came into contact, the hideous engine melted into the body of the evil gold gradient perfectly.

The two were perfectly compatible, and finally the gold turned back to the color of mercury, and no mechanical structure could be seen inside.

The operation was very smooth. In addition to the hell engine, there were also various divine arts, all of which were performed in the dream of the evil silver gradient.

When the evil silver gradient woke up, a layer of strange light lit up from his body.

Amber Xiu said in surprise: "This situation is not right! According to our design, there is no such light!"

The God of Alchemy frowned and said: "It's a bit too much. This guy has surpassed the power allowed by the mortal world and is already a god of weak divine 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, as if to completely crush the magic mirror he possessed.

Amber Xiu 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, and with one hammer he knocked out a metal cage, locking 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 simple for gods. Don't you need Io's permission?"

"That's the rule of some planes. It's 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.

"Just like Talos could turn a lich into a god at will, but from then on, Velsharon would become his vassal and be enslaved by him in the Tower of Ruins. This guy is almost the same. I gave him too much divine power, which made him 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. He couldn't help asking, "What if he runs away?"

The God of Alchemy said, "That would be bad. Not only will he be punished by Io immediately, but I will also be implicated. Maybe a thunderbolt will turn me into a mortal."

"This is your kingdom of God. He shouldn't be able to escape, right?" Amber Xiu asked.

Amber Xiu didn't consider 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, for this experiment, the God of Alchemy really consumed too many resources and divine power. It would be a big loss to destroy this experiment directly.

And it's not just a loss. It will cause the power of the God of Alchemy to decline. I don't know how many years it will take to accumulate power again and break through.

"Don't worry, there is no problem with this. Before, I transformed the kingdom of God to avoid Rose's revenge. Without my consent, he has no chance of escaping, unless his power is strong enough to kill me."

Amber Xiu hurriedly said: "Bah, don't say unlucky words!"

"Haha, you obviously 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 let him become a mortal again."

Seeing the confident look of the God of Alchemy, Amber Xiu felt a little relieved.

This is indeed the truth. In the kingdom of God, the gods are the greatest. Even as strong as Talos will not mess up in other people's kingdoms, because he really can't beat them.

The evil silver gradient is a "god" born with the blessing of the God of Alchemy, but its power has reached the level of gods, not really possessing the priesthood recognized by Io. This kind of god can be taken back at any time.

"In that case, let's test it according to the original plan."

The evil silver gradient was originally just a "prototype". After the test, it needs to go through a series of degradation before it can really be expanded.

Since it can be guaranteed to be safe, let's continue the experiment.

The God of Alchemy took out a lot of enchanted equipment for the evil silver gradient to swallow. Although this guy became a god directly after waking up, he still seemed to be as ignorant as before.

He was still very respectful in front of Amber Xiu, and his appetite was very good. He never refused the enchanted equipment that was delivered to his mouth.

Amber Xiu first let this guy swallow the magic-breaking equipment of the elves. Sure enough, at the moment of digestion, the body of the evil silver gradient appeared the magic-breaking rune unique to the elves. Although it disappeared quickly, as long as the evil silver gradient recalled it, this rune could reappear.

Anything can be transformed into a spike, and this spike has a magic-breaking effect, and it is stronger than the original version. After all, the evil silver gradient can now use the power of the gods, and the effect is naturally better than that of mortal magic equipment.

Then there are other magic equipment. Whether it is the enchantment of damaging nature or the effect of various spells, as long as it is swallowed, the evil silver gradient can quickly master it.

But his appetite is not endless. After eating until his body doubled in size, this guy finally couldn't eat anymore.

"I'm so full and tired, great white bone god, I want to sleep." The evil silver gradient pleaded.

Amber Xiu could only comfort him and said, "Go to sleep and have a good rest."

He turned around and discussed with the God of Alchemy with the experimental report. Now it can be basically confirmed that this guy has perfectly achieved the experimental expectations. The ability to swallow magic is incredibly powerful, and the magic resistance and physical resistance are terrifyingly high. If it continues to swallow and stack, it is really possible that even the gods cannot be harmed.

The experiment should enter the next stage here, which is to try to let the evil silver gradient reproduce to see if the offspring will have degeneration of ability.

If it is confirmed that there will be obvious degradation, then as long as it reproduces for a few generations, it can be sent back to the main material plane for promotion.

Amber Xiu 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?

Amber Xiu's worry is not without reason. It seems that most of the powerful offspring will weaken at a very fast speed.

The dragon race is the best example. Pure-blooded dragons have difficulty giving birth. It is unknown how long and how much effort it takes to hatch a dragon, and it is even more difficult to raise it. The dragon race can be regarded as the most spoiled among many races.

Otherwise, the overseas dragon race would not be getting worse and worse, and weaker and weaker.

The dragon race also likes to mess around with other races. At this time, it is not difficult to reproduce. All races mixed with the dragon race seem to be like hormones. Not only are they strong, but they are also particularly easy to grow.

The Kobold race is the most famous dragon hybrid. They are born one after another, and their number is comparable to that of goblins.

But the power of the Kobolds cannot be compared with that of the dragons. It is not only their strength and magic that have degenerated, but also the most important wisdom.

The average wisdom of the dragons is beyond that of humans and elves. After all, the dragons have inherited wisdom, and anything can be stuffed into them. As long as they grow up, they must be qualified dragons who have received "universal education".

But the races mixed with dragon blood are different. Most of them have low IQs and rely on the magic brought by their blood to maintain the survival of the race.

This is the rule. Strong individuals are difficult to reproduce, and races that are easy to reproduce are generally not strong.

Some races choose the average value, such as orcs. They are very fertile and their individual strength is not bad, but their upper limit is not as good as that of humans and elves, so they can only maintain the lower limit.

Humans are the most special type. Their lower limit can be very low. Weak and stupid individuals are everywhere, but geniuses are particularly likely to appear. There are also countless strong and smart heroes.

Amber Xiu 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, but the controllability is high. Only in this way can his descendants really breed on a large scale, thus promoting alchemy again.

However, Amber Xiu and the God of Alchemy have overlooked one thing. The evil silver gradient is the first individual of the mercury spirit family, and now he has gained powerful power, breaking through the shackles of mortals and becoming a god.

Even if this god does not have any priesthood blessing and does not get the permission of Io, the rules say that the evil silver gradient naturally becomes the racial god of the mercury spirit.

Just as he was sleeping, countless voices sounded in his mind, which were the voices of all the mercury spirits.

Most of these little guys are ignorant, like children of four or five years old, and the problems they think about every day are eating, drinking, playing and sleeping. As a group of special lives specially raised by Amber Xiu, the mercury spirits have always lived very well, and most of them have no negative emotions to dispel.

But it is not 100% true. The evil silver gradient in the deep sleep sensed the negative emotions from a mercury spirit figurine.

It was an overly smart kid who bypassed the feeding guards and quietly ran out of the underground mercury city.

However, the number of mercury spirit figurines has exceeded 10,000, and no one would notice if one or two were missing.

This kid is more curious than other creatures of the same kind. He escaped from the place where he was kept and curiously explored this underground world.

However, he was still too weak. Now he was caught by a group of underground dwarves and trapped in a huge bottle.

The evil silver gradient sensed the fear, anger and despair of this little guy.

He was praying to the great bone god, hoping that his creator could 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 respond to his prayer.

The evil silver gradient made an annoying mutter 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.

In the depths of the underdark, the bottle that trapped the mercury zombie broke with a bang, and a mercury zombie with runes shining all over its body appeared in the darkness.
