The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 694 Abyss Experiment
Sit-down battles are a very novel experience for wizards.

The wizards on the front line built fortresses layer by layer and improved the defense line again and again. But looking at the plains and sky without enemies, they always felt like they were in a dream.

The galaxy has never been so peaceful.

At least not in the short time that the Line Filling Wizard has been around.

In the headquarters, many wizards of the staff department were rarely in a state of having nothing to do.

Every battle report from the front line showed that nothing had happened, and the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance teams they sent out also showed that nothing had happened.

The Galaxy Mayflies did not carry out large-scale personnel transfers or withdrawals, and sent most of their personnel to other battlefields.

Just like in the previous intermission, they continued to patrol the front battlefield and build insect nests and hatching pools in the rear battlefield.

The two big men seemed to have reached some kind of truce agreement. I won't attack, and you won't attack either, and everyone lives in peace.

But everyone in the General Staff knew that the war was just happening in a different form.

In the room, a subtle buzzing sound continued to emanate from Richard's body.

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard.

boom!
Richard's right thumb exploded, and the fine scales and all the cells on the finger collapsed and shattered in that instant.

"Still not working?"

Richard scratched his head, a little disappointed.

Although he was prepared for failure, he did not expect to see no progress for three consecutive months.

So far, he has not succeeded in changing even a single core fragment of life. All attempts have resulted in the disintegration and death of cells.

He felt as if he had walked down some wrong path, and what lay before him was not the difficult road to the truth, but a solid wall.

After recording this failed experiment, Richard did not rush to continue the experiment, but began to think about his own experimental path.

His current experimental strategy is exhaustive inspiration, that is, based on the information given to him by Lan, he conducts non-linear and illogical thinking to come up with some ideas.

In other words, that's what I think it should be.

This experimental strategy completely relies on luck and can be said to be a bad choice. But as an explorer, he can only do so.

Although the difference between level 4 creatures and level 3 creatures seems to be only one level, in terms of bloodline, level 3 creatures and level 4 creatures no longer belong to the same species.

When a level 3 creature is promoted to level 4, the life core of the creature will undergo a massive reorganization.

The reorganized life core will be more complex than the previous life core, allowing the cells to build a powerful body of a fourth-level organism.

This complexity caused the construction knowledge of the first three stages to be basically invalid at level 4. Many of the core fragment interfaces of life that were like panaceas in the first three stages simply disappeared after becoming a level 4 creature.

"But what strategy should I use instead of exhaustive inspiration? Should I continue to use extreme conditions and let the cells adapt on their own?"

The experimental strategy of induced adaptation allowed Richard to create an extraordinary body comparable to that of a level 4 creature when he was a three-ring wizard. However, the life core of a level 4 creature is much more complicated than that of a level 3 creature, so this strategy is also a gamble on luck.

"Huh... I really don't know how the forerunners designed something like the dragon back then." Richard muttered to himself.

Dragons have the ability to store the life information of other powerful creatures, and then integrate and summarize it to give birth to new offspring.

This ability is essentially no different from life editing...

Dragon?

A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Richard.

The dragon can collect the life information of the strong and then integrate it to give birth to new offspring. Does this mean that he can use this characteristic of the dragon to create a body with dragon blood as the main body?

Since he was already planning to integrate the bloodlines of other creatures, he might as well be thorough and just replace it with the body of a dragon.

But soon, this plan was rejected by Richard.

"The body of rules has already merged into this body. After changing the body, it is necessary to rebuild the body of rules.

This is too slow.”

But the idea of ​​replacing the dragon's body opened up an idea for Richard.

Dragons are not the only creatures that have the ability to integrate information. Abyss demons are also a race that can integrate the life information of other creatures.

And as Richard thought more deeply, he suddenly realized that this integration of the abyss demons was exactly what he was studying now?

It’s just that the main bloodline of the Abyss Demon is the Abyss Demon, while his main bloodline is human.

A dark red power of the abyss suddenly appeared in Richard's palm. For a long time, Richard was not used to fighting with the power of the abyss. In addition to the fact that he regarded it as a trump card in battle, one of the reasons was that he was extremely vigilant against this power.

But now... the benefits of the power of the abyss have outweighed the risks.

Richard looked at the power of the abyss, his expression became very conflicted. He was weighing whether it was worth it.

The abyss is not a toy. If he plays with it too much, he is likely to be eroded by the abyss and become a demon lord of the abyss.

But if we don’t use the abyss, we can only rely on luck to study now.

It may take him dozens or even hundreds of years to make any progress.

In his mind, two different thoughts were fighting against each other.

After a long time, Richard let out a long sigh and his eyes became calm and firm.

He said to himself: "The road to power is inevitably accompanied by risks. In this war, without power, it is absolutely impossible."

"Try it, Richard."

……

The power of the abyss is a strange force. In past experiments, this energy has demonstrated complex characteristics.

This complexity made Richard suspect that this thing was not energy, but the external projection of the illusory rules of the abyss in the material world.

The power of the abyss has the ability of benign induction and can also edit life more effectively. The advanced application of the power of the abyss was once on Richard's research list.

However, any gain comes with risk.

Although the power of the abyss is faster and more effective in life editing and life induction, it will also deepen the degree of abyssization of flesh and blood.

The irreversible nature of abyssing means that this is destined to be a very risky behavior.

If the balance of the Abyss is broken, he will inevitably become an Abyss Demon.

Before conducting his own experiment, Richard contacted Jimmy through the portal communication.

From Jimmy, Richard learned that Physical Corona had indeed conducted research on the power of the abyss and had made considerable progress.

But later, because the path of the abyss was not the path that the physical Corona wanted, the research on the abyss stopped.

After obtaining permission from the Physical Corona, Richard successfully used a great deal of military merit to exchange for the Physical Corona's research on the power of the abyss.

“The power of the abyss is a very troublesome force. When conducting the erosion experiment, you’d better protect your soul to ensure that it is not completely eroded by the abyss before a new balance is formed.

Otherwise I will have to put you in the specimen bank."

The suggestion of the Physical Corona gave Richard a chill even though it was hundreds of light years away. Once he became an Abyss Demon, he would no longer be a wizard. And as he possessed so much information about wizard civilization, he would definitely be expelled after being transformed into an Abyss Demon.

"Thank you for your advice, Dean."

With the dean's research materials, Richard's research on the power of the abyss began to proceed smoothly.

According to the research of the physical corona, the power of the abyss is indeed not a simple power. The rules of the abyss are a kind of illusory rules that can exist normally in the material world. The rules of the abyss also have the magical properties that the illusory rules have.

Just as the power of nightmare can simulate various objects, the power of abyss can irreversibly transform life into abyss demon and allow abyss demon to evolve rapidly.

If there were no side effect of transforming into an abyss demon, the rules of the abyss could simply be called the rules of evolution.

Based on this special property, when using the power of the abyss to edit life, Richard does not need to control it himself. He only needs to let the cells change under the influence of the power of the abyss, and then wait for the end.

Soon, a new experiment began.

The buzzing sound representing life editing sounded again in Richard's body, but after that, his fingers did not explode, but began to slowly deform.

Richard's fingers began to grow slightly longer and stronger. His skin began to darken and then slowly faded. A layer of bone scales spread from the base of his fingers. On this layer of bone scales, Richard saw many golden patterns - these were the natural runes of the Warcraft.

This change lasted for a day, during which Richard was immersed in the changes at the core of his life.

The power of the abyss is like a master who carves life, skillfully inserting all kinds of life information into various seemingly impossible and stable incisions.

This process usually takes more than a hundred years for the Abyss Demon, and also requires a fierce war as a catalyst. But in the case of life editing, this process is rapidly shortened.

Eventually, the finger completed its final evolution and no longer changed shape.

After a day of transformation, this finger has become very different. Its epidermis is still white, but there is a layer of fine bone scales on the skin. It has become slender, and its muscles and ligaments have also undergone great changes.

From the outside, it looked as if it had been cut from some other creature and sewn onto Richard's hand.

Richard looked at the finger and suddenly twisted it hard. The next moment, there was a sound like leather tearing, and the evolved finger was pulled off by Richard.

The intense pain from the broken end did not change Richard's expression at all. He put the finger into a jar full of nutrient solution and started evolving it again.

This time, he needed to add some external conditions to his fingers. He wanted to see if the ultimate evolution caused by the power of the abyss would change due to changes in the external environment.
