The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 123: Life-giving Technique - Life Returner

Except for an area where Dark was conducting magic experiments, there were no signs of normality in the insect warehouse.

The walls and the floor were covered with a sticky film.

In the middle of the insect warehouse, there is a column connected to the ceiling, covered with various bulges, and the cross star magic eye unique to the Demon Pillar is bred in it.

At the same time, countless roots spread out and grew along the wall. In the shadows covered by the intertwined roots, there were strange-shaped insects everywhere.

When Dak came in, the roots on the ground formed steps and rose up to his feet, and the original stairs had already been submerged.

After starting to use his original power, Dark's progress in magic has skyrocketed!

It’s so cool to cheat!

Studying such wonderful things was very fascinating, and Dark felt that he was a little obsessed with studying magic.

We are not really familiar with the Holy Grail War or anything like that.

At least for now, the novelty of Dak has not worn off, and this is the only direction we can work towards now.

As an evil villain, Dak thinks there is nothing wrong with his current cheerful state.

On the contrary, it is the kind of people who, in the face of danger, still have the mood to talk about love and live a normal daily life that are weird.

"Gurgle, gurgle" the meat pillar in the middle made a strange sound, but Dak ignored it.

To be honest, although this thing was made by him, it does not conform to his aesthetic standards at all - it's so ugly.

But with Saya's intelligence, she will definitely grow in the direction that Dark expects, right?

Sooner or later it will change into what Dak expects.

After many experiments, Dak still didn't know how to classify the creature in front of him. Anyway, it should not be the original Saya, right?
unconfirmed.

After all, the doll is not here. Even if the curse from the same source is completely harmless to Dak, it does not mean that all "abnormalities and discords" can be monitored.

Dak's perception accuracy is not particularly fine, at least not enough to perceive the subtle details of the curse and edit the genes - so even if the system is defenseless against Dak, he cannot make any major interference with the system.

In terms of the system's usage requirements, Dak's micro-manipulation accuracy and information processing capabilities are completely inadequate.

But even so, knowing what it is but not why it is, at least there is no problem in using it - it's a technical black box.

There is no reason why people who use mobile phones need to know how to make mobile phones.

"This is the divine talent that's so terrifying that even I feel trembling!" Dark laughed with some spoof. Even if it was just a puzzle of ability combination, it would produce a wonderful reaction.

Just like when doing a chemical experiment, you just put various materials in proportion to produce a reaction. Even if you can't observe the actual microscopic situation, you can still perform the operation.

After Jujutsu Kaisen, Inuyasha world and main world, the three worlds have accumulated.

This alien knowledge combines all of Matou Zouken's magic and some of Paracelsus's techniques. With such a broad imagination, it is natural to achieve such a level, right?

After all, there is system assistance.

Everything seemed to be a natural progression. It was as if something unknown was being born through my own hands!

In fact, I do have some doubts about this. The timeline and world line of Type-Moon's worldview are also very strange things.

The past interferes with the future, the future interferes with the past, parallel worlds interfere... In short, there are actually quite a lot of people who can be the masterminds behind the scenes.

Dak: Fortunately, I am also a cheater!
This should be the standard configuration for time travelers. Otherwise, how can they be superior to others and look down on the natives?

Dak no longer wanted to consider whether it existed or not, because it was meaningless. Although it felt unreliable, the feeling of freely displaying one's talents was really refreshing.

I can always think of the right solution, I can always get the right result, the unexpected events in the experiment will always be in the expected direction, everything seems to be as it should be.

This is the genius Erye. Dark thought of the spirit hacker Shinji Matou in the Type-Moon parallel world, who could crush a bunch of magic geniuses at the age of eight.

Wow, the genius second master is so unstoppable.

"The plan needs to be accelerated..." Although when the doll is not around, Dark can obtain the maximum degree of immortality protection.

But at the same time, this also means that the most powerful helper is not around.

"A mysterious and unknown space? Where is it?" Dak could feel the presence of the doll, but could not understand its exact location.

The way the system actually exists is quite strange.

Fortunately, I can still call upon my strength.

The functions of this "system" are indeed powerful and can support Dak to do whatever he wants.

Anyway, he didn't feel any danger, that's what Dak thought.

He is the type who doesn't care what happens after I die. Power is everything, and people without bargaining chips have no right to speak.

Since we don’t know how to quickly acquire enough ability to “protect ourselves”, then we should acquire enough deterrence to make others cautious.

laugh.

First, strengthen survival and dissemination capabilities.

The original Saya was born from experiments on insects, and now fungi and plants have been added.

Its roots can directly obtain the elements needed for growth from the ground. The seemingly disgusting membrane is actually the stored nutrients.
This insect warehouse was much larger than before. The roots growing upwards were connected to the ground, assimilating the surrounding trees, flowers and plants. They had spread downwards to the underground river, and it was basically impossible to kill them completely.

If it weren't for Dark suppressing the spread of Saya, it would have spread to who knows where. The underground river leads to the sea, and once it enters the sea, it really cannot be suppressed.

If Dark were to name Saya's technique, it should be called "The Technique of Life - Life Returner", right?

The effect is dominance over “oneself.”

Of course, the specific extent to which one can achieve this still depends on one's own level and the accuracy of the technique, and the technique's judgment of "itself" is also very confusing.

For example, the alien space inside the body.

After constructing a magic workshop using Saya as magic material, Dark discovered this situation.

Saya's internal space was also recognized as an effect object by her technique... It seems like there's a bug?

I don't know whether it is a benign bug or a malicious bug (╥ω╥`)
Dak restricts Saya's development for the sake of controllability. He has to make the situation clear.

If something goes wrong with Saya in this regard and she completely loses control, all of Dak's efforts over the years would be in vain.

The real power is the power that can be controlled by yourself.

As Dak approached, a crack appeared in the center of the pillar.

A creature with a feminine appearance and a resemblance to Dak sat inside, with roots connecting its hands, feet, and back.

He had already obtained the last android that Paracelsus had arranged. When he found it, the android had just arrived outside the Matou family's house, and Saya's surveillance network had no blind spots around the Matou family's house.

Although Dark was worried about whether Saya had any flaws that he had not controlled well, he would not give up because of fear. He would definitely use it when necessary.

How can you find the problem without actually running the program?

Frankly speaking, the image of the unfinished android is really not that good.

It was like a skinned human, but Dak was still very happy after getting this thing. After all, Paracelsus was not completely dead, and there was still some inheritance.

After completing the experiment, all the inheritance that could be taken out was taken out. As for the remaining body, Dark originally planned to throw Saya as food, but for some reason, Saya's roots stopped eating after invading the android's body, and instead maintained the android's life.

Wow, this thing really has some uncontrollable aspects!
Duck: "Fortunately I was careful and cautious. I must check for bugs!"

With Saya's abundant vitality, the android grew skin and "hair", and the bond with Saya became deeper and deeper.
Holding the android's eyelids open, Dark stared into its eyes and put his mind into them.

Feeling the partial shattering of Paracelsus's spiritual foundation.

Although the incomplete information and memories inside had already been extracted, Dak found that he could not extract the spiritual base.

Dark felt very upset that Paracelsus' greatest legacy was right in front of him but he couldn't get it. Not only that, the spiritual base fragment was also more closely connected to the android, or Saya.

“Quack!

Where exactly is the bug in the program?
I can’t find it!” Dak’s head was as big as a bucket, and he missed the doll more and more. When he designed spells in the past, the doll helped him to check and repair them.

Quack! Genius Erye has failed miserably!
As Saya continues to grow, her genes, the basic building blocks of spells, and her complex body systems are mixed together.

It was no different from the shitty code passed down by programmers, and Duck was completely clueless about many details.

This kind of thing... Can you tell me how to fix the bug?
sigh……

As the magic circuit was activated, Dark began to connect his senses with Saya.

Thanks to Type-Moon's magic, it is a technical means of accumulating knowledge, rather than advancing step by step like the practitioners in novels and movies.

Understand the mechanism of magic and use it when the activation conditions are met - so magicians are quite good at cheating, and they are always thinking about overtaking others. No wonder they are so careful about restraint.

Humans are lucky enough not to be killed by these magicians.

Starting from the android's limbs, the roots were gradually pulled out, and the blood holes left behind quickly healed with sufficient supply of vitality.

Finally, only the "hair" is left connected to the roots.

His vision blurred and Dark switched to the android's perspective.

It is clearer than what one can see with one's own eyes, or more acute than all the senses including touch.

Saya has a high degree of intelligence, and Dark knew this from the beginning.

Originally just instinctive intelligence, it will grow rapidly as it interacts with Dark. Now it has surpassed the level of cats and dogs and can serve as an assistant.

Seems to be the influence of the doll?

Cutting off contact and ignoring Saya, Dark continued with his new experiment.

As for the result, it cannot be said to be success or failure, it is just a verification of the idea.

After that, the little hand waved, indicating that the experiment was over. The surrounding tentacles swarmed over, cleaned up the experimental site, and the remaining experimental subjects were eaten as food.

I got home late from get off work... This job is so boring, and my tinnitus is getting louder

Fortunately, I finished writing it before 12 o'clock today.
