Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo wasn't saying Gabriel was bad, but the key issue is that divinity can easily make people ruthless and heartless.

Then the dolls will truly be "dolls".

It has its own mind but no emotions, or rather, its humanity is completely suppressed by divinity, to the point that the doll's mental development becomes somewhat distorted.

A doll born in this state would be regarded as a saint in Chen Luo's main world, a natural angelic being.

Its potential is extremely high, and it is perfectly qualified to be a god.

But as a doll, it is quite unqualified.

Each of the dolls around Chen Luo has its own unique personality.

Xiao You likes pretty girls, Cang Xiaoxuan likes to be lazy and gluttonous, and Xiao Xilin likes Chen Luo...

"No, I have to bring her down from her pedestal," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"What do you mean?" Shen He asked, puzzled.

"It is about using enough humanity to balance the excess of divinity, and using the darkness of humanity to smooth out the personality tendencies caused by excessive sanctification."

"For example?" asked the Herald of Knowledge, who had just entered the bar and heard Chen Luo's explosive plan.

"Do you need my help? I can cram a bunch of useless junk knowledge into him," the Herrscher of Knowledge eagerly offered.

"No need. Is junk knowledge the same as the darkness of human nature? What you're doing is called information pollution." Chen Luo waved his hand dismissively.

Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of the Herrscher of Knowledge, a test tube of black mud escaped.

"The evil of this world?" The Lawbringer instantly recognized what it was.

"You intend to use the evil of this world to balance the divinity within her? To transform her into your shape?" The Herald of Knowledge was somewhat surprised by Chen Luo's decision, but from a purely rational perspective, doing so would indeed be effective.

But the premise is that the amount of evil used in this world must be determined.

"However, although I do not understand divinity, can the evil of this world, especially your little bit of evil, really compare to Gabriel's kind of divinity?"

"Although Gabriel himself can freely manipulate his own divinity, isn't Gabriel's residual divinity a bit too much for a newborn puppet that hasn't fully formed its mind yet? Moreover, the quality of his divinity is ridiculously high."

"Unless you use the enormous amount of evil in this world to counteract Gabriel's absurdly high quality."

It's not that the Herald of Knowledge underestimates the evil of this world, but the key point is that the evil of this world is truly incomparable to that of the Archangel Gabriel.

Even if it was just the archangel Gabriel, the remaining divinity he left behind could not be offset by the evil of this world.

“Since ordinary evils of this world aren’t enough, let’s have golden evils of this world.” As Chen Luo spoke, he threw the test tube containing evils of this world into the river of time that he had just summoned on the table.

Sometimes, the solution to a problem is that simple.

“But before adding the evil of this world to her, I’ll first strip away the divinity that can be extracted from her,” Chen Luo said.

This doll retains a great deal of divinity, some of which can be separated from it, while others cannot.

The divinity attached to a doll can be removed, but the divinity within the mind that is conceived from that divinity cannot be stripped away.

Otherwise, it will affect the birth of this spirituality.

This is why Chen Luo didn't strip away all of these divine qualities at the beginning.

To cultivate a spirit within a doll, you can't let it be born out of thin air; it always needs some catalyst.

Or perhaps this doll itself is a divine being, based on angelic power, and if it hadn't possessed any divinity from the beginning, the intelligence that this doll was born with might not be able to freely control its own body.

Now that intelligence has been born, the remaining divinity can be discarded.

Chen Luo carefully peeled away the divinity from the mercury lamp, and after a while, he had another ball of light in his hand.

As for the tube of gold containing the evils of this world, Chen Luo did not pour it directly into the mercury lamp, but first did some minor processing.

After all, the evil of this world is not a good thing, so naturally we must also strip away some of its harmful aspects. For example, the corrosive nature of the evil of this world as a curse, and some of its overly dark parts.

What Chen Luo needs is humanity amidst the evil of this world, not to turn Suigintou into some kind of dark villain.

If Chen Luo has become tainted by the evils of this world, then he should wear a mask of suffering.

Which parent doesn't want their child to learn something good?

This delayed Chen Luo for another period of time.

"You two must remain silent for a moment. Do not disturb me as I place the evil of this world within you, and do not distract me." After dealing with the divinity and the side effects of the evil of this world on the puppet, Chen Luo said to Shen He and the Herald of Knowledge.

Because of the unpredictability of the intelligence that arises from the mind, Chen Luo could not predict in advance how much evil in this world would be needed to balance the divinity within his body, so the safest method was to feed it little by little.

Chen Luo carefully fed the evils of this world into the mouth of the mercury lamp.

"jingle!"

"Chen Luo!" A loud voice made Chen Luo's hand tremble.

"...Shut up!" Chen Luo glared fiercely at Yakumo Yukari, who barged in.

"Ugh?"

"I'm performing some detailed operations, don't disturb me," Chen Luo said directly, and then went back to work.

"Okay, fine." Yakumoko suddenly felt like she had messed up.

"Too much? What should we do now?" asked the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

"Have you ever kneaded dough before?" Chen Luo asked.

"What does this have to do with dough?"

"Of course, if there's too much flour, add water; if there's too much water, add flour." Chen Luo said as he took the divinity that he had just stripped from the puppet.

Divinity increases humanity, and humanity increases divinity.

That makes perfect sense.

"Chen Luo!" Just as Chen Luo was feeding the Mercury Lamp with divinity, another angry voice rang out.

"Theresa! I'm cutting off your supply of bitter melon juice for a month!" Chen Luo roared at Theresa, his hand trembling again.

"Huh?! No way!"

Chapter 822 Magical Girl☆Merry-chan - True!

"Congratulations! The modification is finally successful." Chen Luo looked at the mercury lamp in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys are really something else. Why did you push the door open so roughly when I had something to do?" Chen Luo then glared angrily at the group standing at the bar entrance.

“I’m here to see Grandpa,” Theresa said, raising her little hand.

“I’m here to see Morgan,” Merlin said, raising his hand.

“I came to see you,” Yukari Yakumo said.

"I'm here to work," Raven said helplessly.

"Me? I just came to drop by," Yun Xia said shyly.

"Fine, every single one of you is pushing my limits."

Just when Chen Luo thought it was the last time he would be frightened, someone would suddenly appear.

If I had known, Chen Luo would have gone straight to the 3rd floor to do this kind of delicate work.

There's definitely no one to bother me on the third floor.

Although Chen Luo could simply blacklist everyone and temporarily stop serving customers, what if someone was being hunted down and almost died, and wanted to survive by relying on the bar? Wouldn't Chen Luo then become a murderer?

Although the possibility is small, it is not impossible.

"It's all your fault. Now Mercury Lamp's wings have turned black." Chen Luo sighed.

Suigintou's original wings were derived from Gabriel's angelic power, so they were naturally white. However, due to the addition of a tiny bit too much of the evil of this world, it affected Suigintou herself, causing her wings to turn black.

She looks exactly like a fallen angel.

However, Chen Luo always felt that fallen angels were better than angels.

Having experienced the mixture of evil and divinity, Suigintou's soul was no longer that pure white, nor the blackish-red of evil, but had become a normal, hazy gray.

This is what a normal soul should look like.

"Alright, stop holding it. Didn't you say you were going to worship it?" the Herald of Knowledge reminded him.

"No, I have a feeling that Suigintou will awaken in the next day or two." Suigintou was supposed to awaken soon; the slight movement Shenhe saw she made wasn't a hallucination, but a natural reaction of the newly born spirit attempting to take control of her body.

However, due to Chen Luo's actions, the time for Mercury Lamp to awaken is now uncertain.

"What does this have to do with you holding her the whole time?"

"Do you know what an imprint is?" Chen Luo asked.

"I know, this refers to the phenomenon where newly born animals chase after the first living creature they see and develop an attachment to it. Could it be that this doll is like that too?" Upon hearing this term, Yukari Yakumo immediately moved closer to Chen Luo.

Because the mercury lamp is currently being held in Chen Luo's arms.

Yukari Yakumo really wanted to see if Chen Luo would kill her if Suigintou saw her first.

"However, that's not it. I was just saying it casually. I did this purely out of the professional ethics of a puppeteer. After all, she's the first living doll I've actually created, so I wanted to see her as soon as possible." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Tch." Yakumo Yukari curled her lip, instantly losing interest.

"Yukari Yakumo, you've gotten quite bold lately." Although Yukari Yakumo had lost interest in Chen Luo, unfortunately, Chen Luo had become interested in her.

"Haha, I was just really interested in your super cute doll, that's why I came closer to take a look. It's definitely not because of any impression."

"...You're the one who's confessing without being asked, and you were the first one to interrupt my good time."

If Yakumo Yukari hadn't been the first to shout when she entered the bar, Chen Luo wouldn't have had his hands trembling, and thus wouldn't have started the endless cycle of adding water and noodles.

"But never mind, considering how enthusiastic you are about coming to the bar, I'll let it go."

"Phew..." Yakumo Yukari breathed a sigh of relief.

“However, just because I don’t keep accounts doesn’t mean Mercury Lamp doesn’t keep accounts. If Mercury Lamp gets caught up in a dilemma because of the color of her wings, you’ll have to compensate her with a pair of angel wings,” Chen Luo said.

"What kind of stupid aftermath is this?" Yakumo Yukari complained.

"And where am I supposed to get you a pair of angel wings?"

"jingle!"

The wind chimes rang, and Peckola walked in.

"What did you just say? Angel wings?" Pekora asked curiously.

"..." Pekora's appearance was so timely that Yukari Yakumo was speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, although you can't find angels in Gensokyo, there are quite a few angels in the bars.

"Let's talk about magical girls," Yukari Yakumo said, turning to Chen Luo.

Pecorine can no longer use her angelic powers; she doesn't even have a ring, let alone wings.

"What? You're already so eager to put on a magical girl outfit?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.

"Who would like to wear this magical girl outfit? I want to go to that afterlife. When are you going to get the magical girl outfit?" Yukari Yakumo said.

Yukari Yakumo isn't interested in magical girls, but she is interested in the afterlife.

The characteristics of the afterlife and the slightly lower level of perceptible special consciousness mentioned by the Herrscher of Consciousness made Yukari Yakumo a little impatient.

However, Chen Luo also said that he would only allow Yukari Yakumo to go to the afterlife if she wore a magical girl outfit.

“You shouldn’t ask me that. You should ask Zelrich. Didn’t he say that researching the combination of magical girls and Valkyrie armor would be simpler? Why haven’t they figured it out yet?” Chen Luo said.

“Then go ahead and ask. I can’t see Zelrich anyway,” Yukari Yakumo said.

"Don't ask me, go ask Merlin. I can't see Zelrich either."

"Hey, you two, don't drag me into this. I... well, I just separated from Zelrich." Merlin wanted to make excuses when the topic turned to him, but he couldn't.

"Oh, what is Zelrich doing now? How's the magical girl research going?" Yukari Yakumo asked.

“Oh, actually, Zelrich isn’t busy with magical girls right now; instead, he’s looking for a Holy Grail War that fits our requirements,” Merlin said.

"Oh, is that the thing you were thinking of having Zelrich help you find a suitable subspecies Holy Grail War, and then summoning Lancelot to resolve Artoria's inner conflict?" Yukari Yakumo remembered this.

“That’s right.” Merlin nodded.

"A subspecies Holy Grail War? Is it possible to travel to the Root?" Upon hearing about the Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had only been there for a short time, immediately became interested.
