Death (Mortificatio)
Washing (Ablutio)
This is the first half of the process in medieval alchemy. Perhaps some people are not clear about what it means.
Well, the step after Ablutio is called Rubedo, which will produce a red precipitate often called red stone or garnet. "Magisterium", "Universal" and so on are its names, but the most famous one is...
"The Philosopher's Stone."
Otto closed his eyes and began to think.
Why does Hong Shang say that Amber was born from corruption in Kallen's bottomless abyss?
This wording is quite significant, especially considering that OOO itself is a product of alchemy.
Otto immediately felt that even the king's sudden resurrection and the four Greeds... everything seemed like a conspiracy that had been planned by someone long ago, including Kallen's death and Otto's resurrection!
This made Otto wary and... curious about the Consortium X mentioned by Hong Shang. They used Kallen's body to create amber. Could it be that they wanted to use Kallen's body to conduct a grand alchemy experiment?
Otto couldn't help but lean back.
Using Kallen's body for alchemical experiments. Even Otto was surprised by this behavior.
What were they thinking, how dare they do that, and how should they proceed?
In other words, what are they going to use to "calcine"?
When they decided to use Kallen to perform alchemy, this "calcination" was destined to be an extraordinary operation.
Thinking of this, even though it was Kallen from another world, Otto couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his heart and frowned.
To be honest, if he met this group of people, Otto would like to have a good "conversation" with them.
————————————————————
I have already thought about the subsequent plot, and as for the alchemy part, it was written in a paper on black alchemy that I came across by chance. I think it is quite suitable.
Chapter 265: The Controllable God on Earth
Apart from Otto, very few viewers in the question space noticed this, or most people did not even know the words used in Yihong.
At this point, I have to sigh how important it is to have sufficient knowledge.
Otto in the picture, after hearing about Consortium X, naturally noticed the "corruption" that Hongshang mentioned. Having lived through that chaotic era, he could better understand what Hongshang meant, and for this he showed a very solemn expression.
"It was actually those bastards from Consortium X who did this. They actually killed Kallen... Well, this is quite consistent with their character."
Otto looked quite impatient, as if he was spitting on something he had long despised.
But Amber did not hesitate at all and continued to tell Otto, roughly realizing that she was born from the desire of the dead Kallen and had all her memories. Knowing the story between Otto and Kallen, Amber felt that she could completely replace Kallen and become Otto's new OOO to defeat the ungrateful consortium and the seemingly majestic king, and even realize her wish.
Amber looked at Otto with eyes full of anticipation, just like a fanatical little girl, and her smile even had a slightly yandere tone.
At least this action on the screen made Amber in the Collapse World tremble with fear and was greatly shocked.
I in another world, so strong!
In the scene, Otto naturally disdains Kohaku's kindness. He thinks it's just a greeed - not even a dinosaur greeed - and actually wants to replace Kallen! How ridiculous is this? !
But Amber still insisted on lobbying Otto, even putting her whole body against him. Finally, Otto agreed to her because the king eight hundred years ago was really a thorny issue.
"But I still advise you that you'd better do your job as a Greed well and stop thinking about how to become Karin. I tell you, Karin is the limit that you as a Greed can't reach!" Otto said seriously.
"I understand, I understand~ Then... let's work hard together, Otto~" Amber changed back to Kallen's original voice and whispered softly in Otto's ear with an extremely seductive voice.
Otto was very angry about this and angrily scolded Amber not to say such intimate words to him using Kallen's face!
When seeing this scene, all the otakus in front of the screen gasped, thinking that compared with Kallen, Amber is too astringent, or is she doing this on purpose only to Otto?
Amber in the answering room looked at herself desperately doing this to Lord Otto on the screen, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed, especially since there were so many people around, and Lord Otto was right next to her...
Amber, you are you, you are a qualified secretary. You can't do the actions you see in the video!
Amber thought so in her heart.
Back to the image.
Otto temporarily left the base and Amber. He needed some time alone to get more information.
For example, poor Kiana was captured. Otto came to the dark basement and held the core coin containing Kiana's consciousness tightly in his hand. He wanted to ask this guy how they were resurrected.
Of course, greeed is greeed, and everyone is so stubborn. Kiana refused to say anything at first, and even kept scolding Otto, saying that it was ridiculous for a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes to indulge in human desires.
Otto would naturally not be angered by Kiana's words, but he had no choice but to keep silent, so he carried out a series of tortures on Kiana... such as violent beatings, drowning and burning, electric currents, etc. It can be said that even the King of Hell would come and tell us that we should learn from Comrade Otto and contribute to the performance of the underworld in the future.
Kiana, who was outside the screen, looked at herself on the screen and screamed when she was tortured. She suddenly felt a phantom pain in her body and broke out in a cold sweat. She swore that she would never have anything to do with Otto again.
In the scene, Kiana finally couldn't stand Otto's repeated training and was defeated. Her body (referring to the coin) lay on the coffee table and she began to narrate weakly:
"I didn't understand much either, but as soon as I opened my eyes, the road suddenly became bright, and I saw the king and Theresa were still alive. I was really scared at the time, and I almost knelt on the ground and bowed to Yulandel..." It can be clearly felt that Kiana is still very scared.
"And then, did the king or some mysterious person say anything to you?" Otto asked.
"No, but when we act, there is usually a woman holding a timer nearby, who seems to be a member of some organization..."
Looking at Kiana's stupid words, Otto felt his blood pressure rise, and asked directly: "Do you think there is anything strange about this king and the previous one?"
"The weird part? I'm afraid... that is, the King seems to know Kallen a little too well."
"That's it..."
After some thought, Otto locked Kiana in the small dark room again. At the same time, he called Hongshang for a video chat. At this time, he wanted to find out from Hongshang what the corruption of Amber was.
During the video call, Hongshang looked at Otto as if he had expected it, and handed him a cake with a smile. But Otto ignored him and went straight to the topic.
In response to Otto's doubts, Hongshang put the cake away. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were very solemn.
"Someone wants to use Kallen's bottomless desire as the first essence of the black state to perform a large-scale human alchemy."
As Hong Shang spoke, his expression became more and more serious.
"Tsk, is that so? Then what is his purpose? The Philosopher's Stone that gave birth to Rubedo?" Otto found this very tricky.
"No, although there is no more information, we know that the initiator of the plan is Consortium X, and their goal is not as simple as the Philosopher's Stone." Hong Shang narrowed his eyes, "I'm afraid they are looking forward to the last step of alchemy after the red transformation, [Citrinitas]."
"...Hongshang, what do you think will be born from Kallen's endless desires if they succeed in yellowing?" Otto asked after a moment of silence.
Hong Shang was silent for a while, then said quietly:
"god."
"Even a controllable god on earth."
"God on earth? Not really. God is not such a cheap thing." Otto was slightly stunned by Hongshang's words, and quickly rejected it.
After all, the king eight hundred years ago wanted to reach the realm of God, so he absorbed all the core coins and finally went berserk.
But Hong Shang suddenly smiled and said, "Otto, I understand what you mean, but there is one thing I want to draw your attention to. This time, not only is the refining method quite special, but the key is that what they are refining is..."
"Karen's Desire!"
Otto was speechless.

——Part of the paper
Chapter 266: Becoming the Lord of Hosts
"Indeed, if we refine Kallen's desire, whether she can become a god is another matter, but the final product will be absolutely unimaginable."
Otto in the answering room frowned and thought so.
If desire can be measured, then the original amount of ordinary humans is already quite huge, and Kallen's is endless like an abyss, like a bottomless pit.
But now is still in the early stages of alchemy, and it is still uncertain what will happen next. Who knows, maybe Greed Otto will find a way to sacrifice amber to restore Kallen's consciousness?
However, the video scene came to a new place as Otto and Hong Shang talked.
This is a dim church that looks like it has been abandoned for some time. Dust is piled up in the corners. Pale light shines through the glass onto the lonely ground. The cross on the wall right in front, shrouded in haze, tells a story of the past in this windless place.
In the dim church hall, the remaining Greed, Yulandel, Rita and others were sitting in the audience with an arrogant attitude, wearing luxurious dresses, like the most beautiful flowers.
Theresa was the only one sitting there, munching on all sorts of things—like a comic book magazine, and a bunch of cash—with a very happy, innocent smile on her face. This almost made someone in the collapsed world jump up and scream.
This was supposed to be a place where the followers of God were taught, but now it has become a place for those who desire. Perhaps compared to those modern buildings full of debauchery, this world is more familiar to greeeds.
"It seems that Kiana has failed."
Yulandel lowered her head and said nonchalantly.
"Didn't we expect this? With her personality..." Rita looked helpless, as if Kiana was an undisciplined child.
"Kiana failed? Great! No one will come to steal my food from now on!" Theresa shouted excitedly, and then in front of all the audience, she happily devoured a brand new PS5 and a GTA6 game cartridge...
By the way, greeed seems to have no taste in anything he eats...
This shocking scene made everyone in Saint Freya unable to hold back again.
Kiana even smiled at Theresa and said, "Aunt, I didn't expect that even though your mouth is so small, you eat so confidently, blinking like a little hamster..."
"Kiana..."
Theresa's eyes instantly became the kind of "kind" look that an elder should have.
Back to the scene, at this moment, the king from eight hundred years ago entered from the church door. It seemed that he was quite cautious, and even in this situation he still transformed into OOO, wearing the meaningless cloak. The cloak actually fluttered in this windless environment, which was really magical.
The king informed Yulandel and the others of the news of Otto's resurrection. Although they were prepared, they were still surprised. After all, Otto was different from them. He didn't have the help of those people from Consortium X, so how could he be resurrected? When Kiana got the news, it was hard to believe, so she finally rushed to confirm it.
"Otto's resurrection was indeed out of plan, or rather..." Wang's tone became noticeably serious, "Those people in the consortium have something hidden that they didn't tell me."
"Then should we continue to execute the contract with them?" Yulandel asked while crossing her legs.
"Of course I'll continue." Wang seemed lost in thought.
"The Alchemy Plan is completely feasible! When two Ooos meet, an inexplicable balance will be formed. At this time, the key to determining the outcome of the battle is the size of the desires of both parties. And Kallen has already proved through actual combat that her desires far exceed mine. If I hadn't used despicable means in the end, it's hard to say who would win or lose."
"I believe that Karen, with her desire, will surely extract the true power of God!" The king's tone was full of obvious desire or greed, "I will become the Lord of Hosts!"
"I am destiny!"
To be able to say such words in the place of God shows that the king who lived eight hundred years ago was indeed too "advanced" in his time.
"So what should we do now?" Yulandel trimmed her nails. "Still be the church's mascot here?"
"I know, we should buy more delicious food, like the Xbox I saw last time, it looks really delicious..." Theresa smiled innocently. Rita stroked her white hair like a mother as usual.
"...Yulandel, go and deal with Otto first." The king paused for a moment, then looked up at the cross in the church and said, "I have something to take care of."
"understand."
Yulandel stretched her waist, drawing a lazy and elegant curve, and then in the blink of an eye she turned back into her original body of the greeed monster, greatly disappointing all the lsp.
The light outside the church fell into the sunset at dusk, giving the whole world a stale color.
After Yulandel and the others left to carry out their orders, the king was still looking at the high cross, wondering what he was thinking.
The scene changes, Otto takes Kiana, who is trapped in the box, to the beach, intending to have another good chat with her. This time, they don't talk about opposition or ideas, but just reminisce about the past as former companions.
Although things got stuck at the beginning...
"Otto, let me tell you, because of that SB alchemist, you are the only male among the five of us Greed, which led to the fact that humans at that time often thought you were our leader. When Yulandel heard others say that she was your vassal, she was so pissed off. Hahahaha, just thinking about that guy's expression at that time, it's so funny..." Kiana also temporarily let go of her obsession and chose to talk to Otto as an old friend.
But the way she spoke was really not very clever.
At least in Otto's opinion, this has already locked the topic.
Of course, Otto also obtained more information during this meeting.
Just then, Vera arrived. When Kiana saw the girl coming, she immediately remembered how she had picked up a big rock and thrown it at her. As a coin, she felt a chill, as if Vera was a dinosaur and would break her in pieces in the next moment.
Vera's purpose of coming this time was naturally to have a good talk with Otto. After all, it had been ten years since they last sat by the sea at night like this. At that time, I remember Karen was on one side, Otto was on the other side, and Vera was in the middle, holding their hands like a child. The three of them were like a big family.
"Unfortunately, it seems that there is no way to go back to the past."
Vera said darkly.
"It's okay. I will make good use of the amber to awaken Kallen's consciousness." Seeing this, Otto said, "After all, compared to the king, Kallen is more suitable to become OOO."
But what he didn't expect was that Amber was eavesdropping on Otto's words at the side.
"Oh, using me?" Amber said disdainfully, "Otto, I don't know who is using whom!"
Amber from the Collapse World looked at herself with a face full of conspiracy against Otto, and she almost couldn't stand next to her own Lord Otto!
“It’s over. I won’t eat Lord Otto after this…” ————————————————————————
