The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

When conducting high-level alchemical experiments, supernatural powers can easily overflow from the test subjects and spread to the outside world, causing extraordinary pollution.

Therefore, when faced with more advanced alchemical experiments, adequate occult protection measures are necessary.

Whenever someone enters the high-level alchemy workshop, these two doors will be locked, completely isolating the inside and the outside.

If there is a problem with the index on the side of the door, there is an "emergency insurance measure" to kill everything inside the entire laboratory if necessary.

In areas involving supernatural powers, everything needs to be done with extreme caution, otherwise a single careless move could lead to a big mistake.

"..."

At the door, the maid turned around and smiled apologetically at Xingmo and Aurora:

"Mr. Ruff is out on academic research today and missed out on helping you two. He expressed deep regret."

"It's okay," Xingmo smiled politely, "I've been in a high-level alchemy laboratory before, so I know how to operate it."

In fact, Xingmo thought it was a good thing that Mr. Luffy didn't come to watch it in person - she didn't think an old man would have any good reaction when looking directly at the "Angel's Rib".

Don't scare Mr. Luffy to death, that would be ungrateful.

"He did remind me that both of them were excellent mystics." The maid smiled.

"Of course." Aurora put her hands on her hips proudly.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more. If you need anything, just ring the bell."

As the maid spoke, she turned around and inserted a strange square stone into the groove in the door.

Streams of light spread across the stone door, and with the roar of the steam engine, the stone slabs opened to both sides.

Then, a ray of light came through the crack in the door—

"Wow!"

Unlike the gloomy scene imagined, Mr. Luffy's high-level alchemy workshop was brightly lit, with a huge circular floor-to-ceiling window facing the gate, showing the scene of the New Garo Seawall District.

Various instruments and machines are scattered in every corner of the room. Bronze instruments and various pipes and coils are spread all over the table. From time to time, steam will be emitted from a machine in operation.

In the air, mysterious golden symbols floated and fluttered—they were projections created by the string magic array in the "Starlight" realm, safeguarding the integrity of the high-level alchemy workshop.

"Oh my God...this is too...shocking..." Xing Mo murmured.

She couldn't help but recall the high-level alchemy workshop of Principal Merlin - located in the basement of Nefera Beta Magic Academy, gloomy and filled with bones of exotic beasts, looking like some kind of sacrificial site.

At that time, Xingmo thought that a high-level alchemy workshop should look like this gloomy one.

Only now did she realize that the dark cellar-like style might just be a dark skin chosen by Principal Merlin for the workshop...

"..."

Xingmo walked to the edge of the circular floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the hustle and bustle of the seawall area.

For a moment, she actually felt that this was very...romantic?

"Doing experiments while looking at this kind of scenery should bring up a lot of emotions such as a sense of responsibility..." Xingmo muttered.

"I don't know," Aurora said. "I actually feel a sense of being the ruler of the world, like... well, being an emperor!"

"Perhaps the Garo people who built the Hanging Gardens really had the same idea as you," Xingmo murmured. "Standing high up...looking down at everyone, it's as if they own everything in the world."

In this way, civilizations changed, wonders grew taller, and no one cared about the skeletons that died in the base of the Hanging Gardens.

They have all become the corpses of civilization, the souls forgotten under the sand.

She shook her head, turned around, and placed her bag on the lab table.

"Well, in that case, let's start preparing the 'Demigod' elixir!"

......

8) Flowers, the Sun, and You (Part 6) -5k- (Level Up Plus)

"Demigod" elixir, even though this name rarely appears in formal alchemy texts, it is still a product of orthodox high-level alchemy.

In the field of mysticism, the essence of refining all elixirs is to "extract the extraordinary elements from extraordinary objects", go through steps such as "purification" and "reorganization", and finally mix elements with different characteristics together to form a brand new product.

Therefore, if the "Angel's Rib" is to be reassembled, it must first be broken apart.

When the extraordinary power within it surges out, it is reassembled through a series of means, and finally becomes the main ingredient of the "demigod" elixir.

To reconstruct such a high-level supernatural object, it is certainly not possible to rely solely on ordinary means.

This is when human wisdom comes into play...

"The 'Super Deconstructor' is about to start working!"

As the whale oil turned into steam, the rows of pistons on the bronze machine began to move, making a "puffing" sound.

Light blue steam suddenly spread over the copper pipes with translucent glass, and circulated through the heating pipes to the by-product processing table on one side, providing it with hot air.

At the same time, the string magic array inside the alchemical steam engine was activated, and the spiritual power fluctuations generated by the vibration of the strings bloomed in waves, making Xing Mo feel a slight numbness on her face.

All those forces gathered at the center of the main test bench - a small needle like a drill bit, and below it was a small obsidian altar that was cut very neatly.

"To be honest, this is my first time using a super deconstruction machine," Xingmo swallowed, "I've seen it before in Professor Merlin's alchemy workshop, and I thought I would never have the chance to use it in my lifetime."

"It looks quite powerful," Aurora commented. "I can feel a powerful force surging out of nowhere."

"Of course it's powerful. After all, the object to be deconstructed is the rib of an angel. I've already set it to maximum speed..."

Xing Mo exhaled and immediately stretched out his hand:

"bring it on."

Seeing this, Aurora stretched out her hand and tore open the space, then pulled out three bones surrounded by dark power.

"The recipe requires two ribs," Aurora said. "As for the third... how about making it..."

"Let's put it aside for now," Xingmo quickly stopped Aurora from having any further dangerous thoughts. She didn't want to wake up the next day and find that the toilet plunger had a strange texture. "Maybe it will be of great use later."

"Oh~"

Aurora obediently put one rib back into the space, and then gave the two to be used to Xingmo.

Xingmo carefully took the two ribs and placed them in the center of the small stone altar.

When the experimental object was detected, purple symbols lit up in the four corners of the small altar, and an invisible gravitational force was generated, lifting up the angel's ribs and suspending them in mid-air.

Xingmo raised his wand and tapped the edge of the test bench twice.

As the golden strings were played, golden light surged out, forming a small barrier around the stone altar, enveloping the deconstruction machine's drill and the altar.

"This should complete the fixation and effectively prevent the leakage of supernatural power..."

Xingmo muttered, then turned around and took out a small bottle of spiritual powder from his pocket.

She sprinkled the spiritual powder into the air, accompanied by a "crackling" sound.

Then, Xingmo raised his wand and walked around the test bench in an orderly manner, swiping the air with his wand every time he passed a corner.

An invisible spiritual barrier unfolded in the air. When Xingmo completed a closed loop, the space around the extraordinary deconstruction machine became a standard "ritual altar."

All the spiritual power within this altar is tightly wrapped and does not flow with the outside world, so that there will be no sudden variables in the experiment.

Looking at Xingmo busying herself around this pile of machines, Aurora had a strange expression on her face.

After Xing Mo finished sealing the altar, she couldn't help but ask:

"Little Saint... Your wizard civilization has developed for thousands of years... There weren't any machines like this before, right?"

"Hmm? You mean the means of deconstructing the extraordinary?"

Xingmo looked at Aurora and found that her big eyes were blinking.

Oh... I probably know what she is confused about... Xing Mo pondered for a while, then began to explain:

"In ancient times, people often offered sacrifices to higher powers on altars to gain the power to deconstruct extraordinary things."

"Like when you ascended to Six-String in the White Tower?" Aurora pondered. "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

"So, with the development of modern technology, people are gradually gaining control over supernatural powers~"

Xing Mo smiled lightly:

"Does it feel out of place?"

"...a bunch of machines and the occult just don't seem to go together at all."

"All natural forces are merely tools in the hands of humans," Xing Mo said. "The purpose of the alchemical steam engine is to transform extraordinary power into a force that everyone can control, rather than a privilege reserved for a special group. In this way, people can better understand their relationship with the world..."

At this point, Xingmo's eyes dimmed for a moment. She suddenly remembered the underground cave in the Pushet mansion and recalled the steam airship...

But the gloom soon faded away, the girl smiled faintly, and then lightly pointed in the air:

"Come, let me show you the wisdom of mankind."

As the star foam played the strings in the air, a faint light extended along the steam pistons like a chain, and a blue halo lit up on each individual piston head.

The next second, on the test bench, a blue light compressed to the extreme spurted out from the tip of the drill, directly hitting the angel's ribs suspended above the small altar.

"Buzzing—"

The moment the angel's ribs were hit, blue light burst out all over the body, shining brightly like a blooming star.

Even through the starlight barrier, Xing Mo could feel a huge amount of spiritual power surging out, accompanied by a "sizzling" sound.

The blue light gradually turned into liquid, and as time passed, a drop of blue water like a star fell from the end of the glowing rib and dripped onto the altar.

The water droplets quickly seeped into the obsidian altar. At the same time, the pipes on the side began to release suction, and the glowing blue water droplets flowed in the bronze pipes filled with transparent glass, and finally fell into a spherical glass on the other side of the test bench.

The water droplet was suspended in the center of the spherical glass, still emitting a blue glow, and there seemed to be snowflake-shaped starlight shining in the surging light.

"It seems to be successful..." Xing Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wow..." Aurora was still stunned by the wonders of modern mysticism. "Technology and ruthlessness."

"It's really tough. I was worried that the angel's ribs wouldn't be deconstructable using the super deconstruction machine..."

Xingmo rubbed Aurora's little head:

"Now it seems that dead angels...are not much different from ordinary beings."

Dead angels are no different from ordinary people...just materials to be reused...

Even though they are such great and supreme beings, even though they once protected the earth.

When they died, what was left behind was only the extraordinary power they had accumulated during their lifetime.

No different from anything else.

Even gods cannot leave any trace after their death.

"..."

Looking at the clever and silly little cat in front of him, Xing Mo's expression was a little complicated for a moment.

As if sensing the emotion in Xingmo's eyes, Aurora puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"What are you doing?! Are you planning to stew me and make some 'angel' elixir or something? Don't even think of such evil intentions! I still have many tricks up my sleeve, but I haven't used them yet!"

"How could I bear to stew you, my little ancestor..." Xing Mo was amused by Aurora.

The slight palpitations dissipated, and warmth followed - just like the sun hanging on the blue scroll outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the high-level alchemy workshop.

"Okay, next, let's deal with the auxiliary materials."

Xing Mo said this and walked to the test bench opposite the deconstruction machine, and immediately took out the materials purchased from the market from his bag.

"Some of the materials are still in Mr. Luffy's laboratory. Little ancestor, it's time to get to work."

"Eh? You still need us to help you move things? You're so lazy..."

"...You're just too lazy, huh? Hurry up, I'll take you out for a delicious meal at noon."

"Oh~"

The two of them became busy in the high-level alchemy workshop, putting various auxiliary materials into the crucible, and at the same time using the heat generated by the operation of the "Super Deconstruction Machine" to heat the crucible.

About half an hour later, Xing Mo closed the lid of the crucible and exhaled:

"Okay, it's over... From now on we just have to wait."

"How long will it take?" Aurora blinked.

"Hmm... the main liquid in the crucible should be ready soon, probably tonight," Xing Mo nodded. "As for the 'Super Deconstructor'... I'm afraid it will take a week..."
