Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

He was a middle-aged man with round eyes, a slightly lowered head, droopy eyebrows, and a bit of baldness, who looked somewhat gloomy and introverted.

That feeling is somewhat like Zhang Dongsheng's "Let's go hiking together".

【The Alchemist Who Sustains Fate - Shu Tucker (14)】

Black Iron 5-Star Character Card

Attributes: +3 Intelligence, +2 Perception, +3 Spirit.

Talents: Alchemy of Truth, Life-Binding Biotransformation.

Skills: Synthetic Beast Transformation, Equivalent Transformation Array, Decomposition and Synthesis.

Note: You cannot, you absolutely cannot cancel my project and the special funding! See? This is, this is the result of my research…

When Zhao Hao saw the card, he was stunned for a moment, and it seemed as if a phantom voice appeared in his ear: "Big brother~"

"Hiss~" Zhao Hao gasped, "I'm making a contribution to global warming."

I never expected it to be him!

Shuttak, the alchemist destined for death in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist!

That utter scumbag!

The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is quite unique. Although there are higher powers, only alchemists in the human world have mastered certain "truths" (alchemy knowledge).

The alchemy of that world is quite complex. It involves things like harnessing the power of ley lines, constructing transmutation circles, and accessing the Gate of Truth.

In short, it's about exchanging abilities for a set of fixed rules: the freedom to decompose and recombine matter, and even energy.

The alchemists earned their titles because of their different areas of expertise.

For example, the protagonist Edward, a short man, because of his youth and ignorance, attempted human transmutation without permission and came into contact with the Gate of Truth, thus gaining knowledge.

Because of the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy, he lost one of his arms and legs, as well as his brother's entire body.

He himself became a cyberpunk cyborg, and his brother became an armored puppet.

That's right, if Zhao Hao were to do it, he could create a puppet like his brother, with armor as its body.

However, Al's soul and spirit were not taken away by the Gate of Truth, so he is a true human soul possessing a puppet, realizing an alternative high-intelligence magic puppet.

This life-binding alchemist, Shutak, specializes in biotransformation—the art of combining different organisms into one. He might be somewhat similar to the chimera, the synthetic monster from Greek mythology.

In the original story, in order to continue receiving research funding, he merged his wife and daughter with the family's pet dog... "Scum" is an understatement; he was a beast in human form!

"I never expected him to be a character from the masterpiece 'Fullmetal Alchemist'! And I never expected him to be a Fate-Binding Alchemist..."

Zhao Hao pondered the card for a long time and felt that it had great potential.

If mastered, the Alchemy of Truth is nothing short of a divine skill. It might even be more important than Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan!

It's important to know that human transmutation exists in Fullmetal Alchemist. While it's not possible to directly revive people, there's a reason for that.

In the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, a person is composed of three parts: soul, spirit, and body.

The physical body is made up of water, bones, flesh, and various trace elements, but the spirit and soul cannot be made up of these.

Therefore, human transformation often only results in a body that is unconscious or only possesses basic instincts.

However, in this world, this problem is easily solved.

The so-called soul is actually just the spirit, which is the part of a person that is cleansed after death and goes to the underworld.

The so-called spirit is actually spirituality, which is what is merged into the sea of ​​spiritual energy after death and becomes a part of the sea of ​​spiritual energy.

If a person has just died, Zhao Hao intercepts his soul to prevent him from going to the underworld, then recalls his spirit from the sea of ​​spiritual energy, and repairs his body. Wouldn't that accomplish all three tasks?

Isn't that resurrection?!

"Is resurrection a bit too advanced for a mere Black Iron 3-star superhuman like me?"

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts and wicked ideas popped into Zhao Hao's mind, and he was practically itching to cause trouble.

He quickly restrained his wandering thoughts, took a deep breath, and temporarily suppressed all distracting ideas.

"Stay calm and don't get cocky, keep developing. That's just a tactic; strength is the foundation of everything..."

The last card is a Black Iron Fragment card, nothing special to say about it.

……

After drawing the card, Zhao Hao waved it away.

"First, I'll synthesize the Alchemist card. Counting the two fragment cards I accumulated earlier, that makes three..."

With the cards complete, Zhao Hao equipped them to test their feel.

The feeling was completely different from the previous character cards.

After equipping the gear, it seemed as if his body suddenly developed muscle memory, and his mind gained a lot of combat experience, moves, and witty remarks.

After equipping [Sumimura Toshimori], space seems to follow a pattern for him, and when using barrier techniques, it seems that space can be arbitrarily divided and materialized.

After equipping the [Gargamel] item, one can feel the omnipresent primal chaotic magic, one of the manifestations of psionic energy. This power is extremely disordered and chaotic, and difficult to control. Casting spells is like organizing this magic into an orderly form, but if even the slightest mishandling occurs, the spell's effect will be distorted.

Later classes like the Necromancer and the Red Mage would acquire a wealth of magical knowledge and develop highly organized thinking after equipping these items.

After Kankuro was equipped with it, his hands became extremely dexterous. Some materials seemed to be able to be 3D segmented and combined through his consciousness, and his ability to subtly manipulate psionic energy was also greatly enhanced.

The most significant change after equipping the [Uchiha Itachi] set is naturally in his eyes.

After activating the Sharingan, the whole world became clear, as if nothing could escape his observation.

There is also illusion, as if one's every move, even one's words, can be used to create illusions!

It's as if they can change reality at will!

The whole world became both real and unreal in my eyes!

No wonder the Uchiha clan members have such warped values. If they were to experience such a strong sense of déjà vu, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, it would be a miracle if they weren't mentally disturbed!

Oh, thinking about it now, the reason why Obito Uchiha was so enthusiastic, generous, cheerful, and loved life so much when he was at the bottom of his class was because he awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, especially after his crush died tragically shortly after he did, which completely shattered his worldview.

That's why he wanted to create a real world where Lin was still alive!

Hmm! The mystery is solved!

Back to the alchemist, once this card is equipped, everything around seems to begin to be digitized, and you can deconstruct them little by little, like solving a problem.

If one understands it deeply enough, one can decompose, recombine, repair, and recreate it through alchemy.

such as……

Zhao Hao placed his hand on the table, and psionic energy formed a transmutation circle fifty centimeters in diameter beneath his palm. The table's structure and constituent elements appeared clearly in his mind.

Zhao Hao tried adding formulas, just like solving a problem. The wooden coffee table instantly turned into countless tiny wood chips, which then combined to form a wooden stake!

"That's interesting!" Zhao Hao exclaimed.

Even among psionicists and superhumans, very few can accomplish something like this.

Those alchemists of the real world are more adept at creating what they want through the "spiritual fusion" of various materials. But this method of modifying all surrounding matter and energy is something I've never heard of before!

Wait! What did that coffee table look like again? How do I change it back?

"Unfortunately, the Alchemy of Truth is a talent, it can't be learned. Without the card, I have no way to communicate with 'Truth'. So from now on, this card will be one of the core elements for fusion..."

Including the Fate-Binding Alchemist, I already have five character cards, but before I reach Bronze rank, I can only equip two at a time. So, I still need to combine cards.

The melee fighter Afu can't move, so he can't become a pure mage. He needs to occupy a card slot, and that's a long-term commitment.

Therefore, the only solution is to focus on the magic aspect.

First, the alchemist and Kankuro the puppeteer must merge.

I have almost mastered all the skills of a puppeteer. I have learned chakra threads, puppet substitution techniques, puppetry, and puppet making.

Puppet substitution techniques and puppet techniques are actually not very useful; I don't follow that path.

After all, a ninja's chakra is far more limited than a superhuman's spiritual energy. They have better options.

Puppet making has been innovated. Chakra threads can now be replaced with psionic threads, so fine they seem to disappear with the wind at night.

The only value of this card is its pseudonym: Chanem Jornan.

This disguise can be inherited by the alchemist, since it wasn't originally the original body.

Using the Black Iron 5-star [Alchemist of Destiny - Shu Tak] as the core and the Black Iron 5-star [Surprise Attack Captain - Kankuro] as the material, the fusion success rate is 85.8%.

"Yes, merge!"

【The Humanoid Alchemist - Shukuro】

Bronze 1-star character card

Attributes: +3 Intelligence, +3 Perception, +4 Spirit.

Talents: Alchemy of Truth, Puppet Master.

Skills: Psionic Silk, Humanoid Transmutation, Equivalent Transmutation Array, Disassembly and Synthesis.

Note: I've trained myself now, what can you do to me?!

The Alchemy of Truth: A magical alchemy that uses truth as a fulcrum and knowledge as a lever to unlock the potential of the material world.

Puppet Master: Possesses exceptional talent and skill in creating, shaping, modifying, and reassembling humanoid figures, puppets, and golems.

Psychic Threads: Psychic energy is transformed into faint, ethereal threads, which have various wondrous uses, especially in modifying and controlling humanoid forms.

Humanoid Transmutation: A transmutation technique that uses alchemy to create and modify biological, mechanical, and magical human bodies.

Equivalent Transmutation Array: A basic ability of alchemists, which involves transmutating substances based on equivalent exchange, provided that the alchemist is familiar with the transmutation material.

Decomposition and Synthesis: Deconstructing and learning about matter or energy to master the necessary knowledge of decomposition and synthesis.

When Zhao Hao saw the character card's attributes, he was shocked: "Holy crap! It was clearly fused with Shutak as the core, so how come the name has changed?! This humanoid beast has actually transformed himself?!"

Chapter 230 Card Synthesis

Although he himself was disappointing, being a core character but having his name NTR'd by Kankuro, to be honest, this card is very good.

Two Iron 5-star cards can be combined into a Bronze 1-star card. What more could you ask for?

Normally, you would need another 5-star Black Iron card to complete the build.

In other words, both cards are relatively high-end among Iron 5-star cards, so I managed to upgrade them by one level.
