The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 696: Only Interests Between Civilizations
"who am I?"

Richard was a little confused by Abel's question.

The integration of bloodlines did lead to changes in appearance, but Abel was also an old wizard from the expedition era. How could he not have this little knowledge?

"Your question is really strange. Haven't you ever seen blood fusion?"

The shock on Abel's face slowly disappeared, but the vigilance in his eyes remained. He slowly shook his head and said, "Sir, you'd better watch yourself before you speak."

What do you look like?
Vast spiritual power surged out of his body, replacing the mirror, allowing Richard to clearly see his changes.

When Richard saw this, he was stunned.

Dark red skin, ferocious dragon horns, and faintly visible abyss runes on the body.

If it were someone else, Richard would have definitely said that this was a demon from the abyss.

This is no longer a matter of blood fusion; it is a complete transformation into another kind of creature.

But this was his own body.

He could be sure that the integration of his life had not failed and his soul had not been eroded by the abyss.

But why, now he looked like an abyss demon?
This appearance, this aura, is definitely something that only a pure abyss demon can possess. A creature like him with a pure soul would never become like this.

"In the end what happened?"

Richard was silent for a moment, with countless possibilities mixed together in his mind, like a ball of wool without a thread.

But there is no doubt that no matter what happened to him, the first thing he should do now is to stabilize the morale of the troops.

"Well, this change is indeed a bit big. But there is no doubt that I am still Richard, your commander-in-chief."

Richard's relaxed tone made Abel's tense body relax slightly. He looked at Richard with a little vigilance and said slowly: "Sir, I think you'd better apply to go back to the rear.

You are like this... it's easy to cause misunderstanding."

Richard nodded slightly and waved his hand, signaling Abel to leave.

After he left, Richard's face immediately darkened. The Five Rings Great Wizard's majestic spiritual power surged out again. This time, Richard looked from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, examining every cell in his body.

However, the results of the examination made him feel a little creepy - the core of his life had not changed, that is to say, this abyss demon-like appearance had nothing to do with his life information.

However, the physical appearance of a living being cannot be unrelated to its life information!
"What exactly is going on?"

Richard felt a flash of panic in his heart. Although he had expected the erosion of the abyss, the current situation was beyond his expectation...

Suddenly, a question flashed through Richard's mind.

What exactly is Abyssal Erosion?
All external manifestations of the physical body are related to the information carried by the life core in the life cells.

Before this, Richard had always believed that the principle of creatures being eroded by the abyss and becoming abyss creatures was a change in the core of life.

But now, this view is clearly wrong.

Every adjustment in Richard's life core was made by him, and there was no adjustment that he was not aware of.

But if the erosion of the abyss is actually the erosion of the soul, then this is also not true.

He could be sure that his soul had not been corroded by the abyss, or rather, his corrosion had not changed in the slightest.

"Could it be that the erosion of the abyss has nothing to do with the soul and the body? It all depends on the amount of abyssal power. As long as the abyssal power is sufficient, even if the soul is not corroded, the body will be transformed into an abyssal demon."

Richard could feel that after he completed the integration of his bloodline, the circulation of the power of the abyss in his body had spread throughout his body and mixed with his own energy circulation.

"Try to suppress the power of the abyss first. It's really hard to do anything with this condition."

Although he now looks closer to a human than many wizards whose bloodlines have been transformed, the change in temperament brought about by the power of the abyss makes Richard look completely different from a wizard.

Although this will not affect the wizarding high command's judgment of Richard, it will inevitably affect mortals' impression of him.

Especially since Richard was the god of the goblins, and the goblins and the abyss had an unresolved blood feud. Now that he had become an abyss demon, it was definitely a major blow to the Order of Miracles, which would directly affect his replenishment of faith power.

But how can he suppress this power of the abyss?

Just as he was thinking hard, a gravitational force suddenly appeared from the void and began to pull Richard's body and soul.

The power of the abyss in his body was attracted by this gravity and flowed out of Richard's body, forming a dark vortex hole in the air.

Then, the gravitational force suddenly became stronger, as if there was a black hole behind the vortex, constantly swallowing up everything in the world.

"What is this thing? Why does it look so much like..."

Richard's left eye began to bloom, and the cover of the dark vortex began to gradually peel off, revealing its essence hidden behind the curtain.

"...Dimension Gate!?"

A dimensional gate formed by the power of the abyss. Needless to say, behind this dimensional gate must be the abyss dimension. And according to the particularity of the power of the abyss, behind this gate may even be the abyss world!
Richard swallowed and immediately mobilized the dimensional power in his body, preparing to break down the door.

As a listed god in the civilization of gods, Richard really couldn't imagine what it would be like when he entered the world of the abyss.

But just as Richard was about to break down the door, he suddenly stopped.

"The wizard civilization can establish diplomatic relations with the gods civilization... so can it also establish diplomatic relations with the abyss civilization?"

Due to the influence of Ulysses, Richard did not have a good impression of creatures like the Abyss Demon. However, impressions are impressions, and there are only interests, not emotions, between civilizations.

For the wizard civilization, there is not much difference between the abyss civilization and the gods civilization.

It's nothing more than a different path of evolution. The wizard civilization can trade with the gods civilization in exchange for the heroic spirit army as soldiers. Then can they also make a deal with the abyss civilization and let the abyss demons fill the line for the wizards?

Although it may not sound good, the front line of wizard civilization has indeed been retreating.

Based on this point, wizards do not need to worry about the abyss erosion caused by the abyss demons. It can even cause a lot of trouble to the Galaxy Mayfly, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, this good thing for wizards is not so good for Richard.

Establishing a deal with the Abyss was a disguised way of supporting the Abyss. And Ulises hated the Abyss very much.

This made Richard feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

After a moment of silence, Richard shattered the vortex expressionlessly. He used the power of the gods to contact Ulises who was far away in the goblin world.

"Ulises, I have an idea that I think you should know."

"Gah?"

On the top of the Church of Miracles, Ulises, who was basking in the sun leisurely, let out a puzzled cry.

"My Lord God, what earth-shattering event are you going to do? Although our God system has developed, it cannot withstand..."

“It has nothing to do with the church.”

Now Ulises was even more confused.

"Gah, what's that?"

"My experiment went wrong, which allowed me to enter the Abyss World. So I plan to use this opportunity to establish contact between the two civilizations."

No cover-up, no explanation, not even any emotional fluctuations.

Richard told Ulysses his thoughts in a very restrained and calm tone.

The answer he got was a heart-wrenching silence.

After a long time, Ulises' voice sounded in Richard's ears.

"My friend, I am touched that you would tell me this decision so openly.

As a friend, I also tell you frankly, do what you think you should do.

We are not just individuals; we carry the lives of millions of people behind us.

Personal emotions should not affect our judgment.”

……

Wizard dimension, the city of eternal truth.

The huge rune gate slowly opened, and Richard traveled through the dimension and entered the core of this wizard civilization.

The moment he appeared, the Secret Keeper also appeared. He treated Richard with the same respect as always, but when he felt the power of the abyss in Richard, he suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the magic book.

Richard noticed this keenly.

He suddenly looked towards the Secret Keeper, his eyes as fierce as thunder!

"Secret Keeper, what do you think of this power in me?"

The Secret Keeper paused and spoke slowly: "Although I hate this damn thief, this power can be used by you now, so I will not forcibly expel it."

"Thief?"

“It seems that you did not notice that when you were undergoing the blood transformation, the source of this power tried to invade your soul and transform you into its slave.

I and another dimension blocked it at the same time, but for some reason, we were unable to completely suppress this force and could only allow it to take root in your body.

I am deeply sorry for this.”

As he spoke, the Secret Keeper bowed slightly to Richard.

"Invade souls, transform slaves, take root in bodies..."

The keeper's words made Richard realize his own situation instantly, and at the same time, he broke into a cold sweat.

"I've actually been targeted by the Origin of the Abyss. Luckily, I'm also a civilized person, otherwise I would have really been caught..."

Another rune door slowly opened, and Jimmy, with thunder wrapped all over his body, like the thunder giant in mythology, walked out of the door with a strong white bear.

After entering the wizard dimension, White Bear walked towards Richard and said with a somewhat cheerful tone: "I knew that leaving behind a clone would be useful. What have you found out by studying the abyss?"

As he spoke, the white bear, who had already come to Richard's side, patted Richard's arm.

Although this body is just a beast puppet, Physical Corona can still feel the tremendous power contained in Richard's body.

The only drawback is that the power of the abyss is too strong, and he doesn't look like a wizard at all.

Richard nodded slightly, but then shook his head.

"Dean, I did find some things from my research into the abyss, but the purpose of my visit this time has nothing to do with research.

There was an accident during my research, which caused the Abyss Civilization to mistake the wizard for the Abyss Demon, and now they are calling me into the Abyss World. You also know the characteristics of the Abyss Demon, and I think this may be of some help to us. "

"..."
