"If you want to press it, Lilith, that's fine. But you heard what Inkasas said just now. If your magic power isn't enough, you'll have to pay a price."

"Don't worry about that." Lilith understood, "When I separated my mother's power from me, a certain amount of magic power remained. It's more than enough to pay for this wonderful item."

Since Lilith said so, Xiangbei naturally had no reason to stop her. He watched as Lilith pressed the button. The magic power in her body weakened a little, but her physical strength also increased greatly.

Inksas, who was watching the changes in Lilith's physical condition, couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Every time I see your exchange take effect, I find it amazing. Equal exchange, equal exchange. But whether it's my balancing ability, this item I developed, or alchemy, we can't truly achieve 'equivalence'. There will inevitably be problems like energy dissipation. But this item can truly demonstrate the equal exchange."

"Perhaps, only the true philosopher's stone in the legend can achieve such an effect."

The real effect of the Philosopher's Stone is to merge the timelines, girl.

Lilith clenched her fists and felt that her body had never undergone such wonderful changes. Her previous weak body had disappeared, replaced by endless physical strength and power!

"Hey!"

"Wow!"

Lilith just stretched out one hand and lifted up the sofa weighing over a hundred pounds along with Ai Ge who was sitting on it, causing Ai Ge to exclaim in surprise. However, Lilith did not feel tired at all. The weight of the object in her hand was like lifting a ping-pong ball, without any pressure at all.

"Bravo."

After Lilith put the sofa down, Aige couldn't sit still anymore and rushed over to press the button.

"If Lilith can become so powerful, I can become just as powerful if I press it!"

"Come on, you didn't listen to anything I just said, did you?"

Xiangbei grabbed Aige's collar with one hand and lifted her up, moving her further away from the button.

"If you want to gain power, you need to pay with magic power, but what can you get with the little magic power in your body? When the time comes, you will be asked to pay with other things... If it's just a limb loss, it's okay, but if it's a complete memory loss or a decline in IQ, do you want to become the second Cirno?"

In the original work of Gensokyo's Little God, Lilith's immense magical power is shared with Aika.

But it seems not now.

In the original novel, in order to return the power that belonged to Alice to Alice, Lilith accidentally almost separated and sent back her own essence, which means she almost died... In the plot, it was Ai Ge who helped and let herself be drained of power instead of Lilith, so that Alice woke up at the last moment and finally saved the lives of the two children.

But now, it seems that due to the changes in the plot and the interference of Xiangbei, the magic power between the two does not seem to be shared, so it’s okay for Lilith to press it, but it’s not okay for Aige.

"Aige, you can't press this."

Inksas put the Sky and Tyrant Generator back to the place that looked like a storage space and put it away. Lilith was jumping around and reached the roof with a light jump, having a lot of fun.

"Wow, but Lilith can become so powerful, but I can't do the same. This is so unfair!"

Ai Ge, who was held in Xiang Bei's arms, flapped her legs in dissatisfaction and shouted loudly.

"And Lilith's magic power was also given by Alice, right? If I ask Alice to give me some magic power, can I press that button?"

"How can this be... uh... well..."

Xiangbei subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was really nothing wrong.

Lilith didn't use her own power, but the magic power left by Alice. So conversely, if we give Ai Ge some magic power, can we also press the button to gain stronger physical strength?

"Indeed."

Inksas said.

"I've experimented with this item many times and have confirmed that if the conditions are met, even if it's counterfeit magic injected through initiation, as long as it's your own magic, then you can press the button to convert that magic into physical strength."

"That's quite convenient indeed."

Putting Aige down, he asked Xiangbei.

"Except for the motorcycle monk magician in Gensokyo, I haven't seen any magic that can enhance physical fitness. Most of the magicians I've seen are relatively weak or have average physical fitness."

"So, exchanging a certain amount of magic power for a strong body, while this transaction is considered an equal exchange, is actually... a very cost-effective deal?"

“Yes, I am one of those people.”

Inksas patted her shoulders. Her frail body, which usually required panting after every few steps, could now even fight with warriors. Inksas's tone was somewhat emotional.

"I've finally achieved the healthy and strong body I've always dreamed of. The price is just a little bit of magic power. For many magicians, this is a very cost-effective deal."

"really."

Xiangbei nodded. Exchanging part of the magic power for a healthy and strong body, although sufficient magic power is required, for more powerful magicians like Inkasas, Alice, and Patchouli, this level of magic power expenditure is not unacceptable, and they are probably happy to do so.

"That's definitely feasible." He rubbed Aige's head. He really missed the feel of it after not rubbing it for a few days. "Then ask Alice to give you some magic power, and you can press this button."

"Really? Yeah!"

Aige was very happy and ran out the door immediately.

"I'll go find Alice right away!"

However, as soon as she opened the door, Ai Ge bumped into someone.

"Ouch, it hurts... ah, it's Xiao Xiao Ai!"

Shenqi looked at Aige who ran into his arms and hugged her with joy.

"Do you miss grandma? Do you want to play with her? Okay, then let's go out and play together!"

"Lord Shenqi, Lord Xiangbei is still here."

Mengzi greeted helplessly from the side.

"Also, you hugged Lady Aige too tightly. She looked a little uncomfortable..."

Indeed, Ai Ge, who was being held in Shen Qi's bear embrace, was struggling hard, trying to break free from Shen Qi's arms.

Although Shenqi, as the creator, does not have very good physical fitness in non-combat state, she is still much stronger than the child Aige. No matter how she struggles, she cannot break free.

"Huh? Ahhh, I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao Ai, I, I didn't mean to..."

Seeing that Aige was feeling uncomfortable in his arms, Shenqi hurriedly let her go.

"It's okay, Grandma Shenqi, it's just a small matter." Fortunately, Aige is very understanding and she won't take this little thing to heart.

"By the way, Grandma Shenqi, can you give me some magic power?"

"Magic? Ah, Xiao Xiao Ai, do you want to become a magician? Sure, I'll use my power as the Creator to create a magical power that can perfectly match Xiao Xiao Ai..."

Do you always feel that the situation changes very quickly?

Before anyone could react, a small ball shining with a golden halo appeared in Shenqi's hand, and she inserted it into Aige's body. In Xiangbei's six-eyed vision, Aige's power also became extremely powerful.

Aige ran back and came to Inkasas, looking at her eagerly.

"Inksas! Press me, I want to become as strong as Lilith!"

"Stupid Aige." Lilith laughed.

"Who are you calling stupid?!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

Lilith took out the button of the Sky and Tyrant Generator again... Speaking of which, this kind of storage ability does seem quite rare. At least in Gensokyo, Xiangbei has never seen anyone with such an ability.

Aige quickly tapped the button, and the magic power in her body dropped by half, while her physical fitness increased significantly.

“What a disgusting feeling!”

Feeling the changes in her body, Aige picked up Lilith, making her face flush red.

"Wait—idiot Aige, what are you doing!?"

Lilith wanted to break free from Ai Ge's restraints, but when they had equal strength, it was not easy to break free from Ai Ge's bear hug. Ai Ge picked up Lilith and let her legs flap in the air.

"It's amazing. I didn't feel any weight when I picked up Lilith."

The two sisters started playing around. Shenqi and Mengzi entered the house and looked at the two demon princesses whose physical fitness had improved dramatically. Mengzi was also very curious about this and turned to look at the button in Inksas's hand.

"Is this Mr. Xiangbei's magic item that turns a magician into an excellent warrior? I also want to improve my physical strength. Can I press it as well?"

"Go ahead." Xiangbei didn't care.

So, Mengzi also pressed the button and exchanged magic power for physical fitness.

Looking at a room full of magicians who could already be called melee mages, Xiangbei felt like he seemed to have forgotten something.

"What was I supposed to do?"

Volume 3: Return to Fantasy: Chapter 136: Melee Mage... Is this the end?!

"A magical item that can store energy, and a body that can house a soul?"

Xiangbei finally remembered why he came to the Demon Realm. After finally calming down the commotion caused by several guys who had just become melee mages, he and Shenqi returned to the room where they had talked.

"Well, no problem. As for the Demon Realm container, you can take whatever you want. After all, Xiangbei, you are a great contributor to the Demon Realm, and this is not a very precious item..."

Indeed, in the place of origin of magic, there are naturally magic containers that can store magic power or other extraordinary powers, ranging from small magic containers that can only accommodate a fireball to large super magic containers that supply the maintenance of the magic circle of the entire city.

It is even possible to let Shenqi use her laws of creation to create a magical container that can accommodate more power.

If you only need this one thing, Shenqi will give it to you directly without asking any more questions.

"But, a body that can house a soul? That means creating a human being with life, but without spirit and consciousness... right?"

But Xiangbei still needs a body that can accommodate his soul... This makes Shenqi a little concerned.

After all, events involving souls and life creations already involve some moral and ethical issues, which inevitably makes Shenqi more doubtful.

So, Shenqi asked.

"Xiangbei, I don't mean to pry into your life, but I still want to ask, why do you want these things?"

"For what..."

Xiangbei thought for a moment, but decided not to tell Shenqi the whole truth directly. After all, revealing his intention to resurrect Yakumo Hong would likely cause unnecessary panic and misunderstanding. However, he also knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, Shenqi might not help him.

It's not that hard to find a reason, you can just make one up, but at least make it a good one...

"Actually, I want to resurrect someone."

Xiangbei's words made Shenqi raise her eyebrows slightly, and she seemed to be interested in this topic.

"Resurrecting a person? This is no small matter. Even in the Demon Realm, I respect the freedom and choice of every soul. Even as the God of the Demon Realm, I cannot arbitrarily interfere with the cycle of life and death... let alone the lives outside the Demon Realm."

Xiangbei nodded. He knew Shenqi's concerns, so he looked sincere and continued.

"I understand what you mean, Shenqi. However, that person is very important to me - she is not only my beloved family and friend, but also an indispensable part of my life. Her departure has made my world dark, and I search day and night for a way to resurrect her. And now, I have finally found a glimmer of hope, but I cannot realize it due to lack of conditions... So, I beg you, Shenqi..."

"Help me this time, okay?"

Shenqi listened quietly to Xiangbei's request, her tone so sincere and sorrowful. She seemed to sense the sorrow and longing in Xiangbei's words. She knew that resurrecting a life was a taboo, but at the same time, she could not ignore Xiangbei's plea.

Besides, it's not like she hasn't done something like this before.

So she felt that she could empathize with Xiangbei. No one could tolerate the death of the most important person in their life, and when there were means to retain and resurrect important people, no one would let go, at least, Shenqi would never let go.

"I understand. I will assist you, Xiangbei." Nodding, Shenqi also decided to do her part for Xiangbei.

"I'll have Inksas prepare the props to contain your magic power. As for the body to contain your soul... that needs some preparation. I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you very much." Xiangbei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least these two conditions were no problem.

"But speaking of which, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you've already seen quite a few changes."

"Oh, you saw it?"

Well, he is the creator god of the demon world after all, so he must have some vision.

"Yeah." Shenqi nodded: "You look a little bit like a non-human."

Wait a minute, even if you are the God of Creation, you can't be so rude. What do you mean I'm not like a human?

"Well, anyway, you are indeed moving towards becoming more powerful, and I am very happy about that." Shenqi took another sip of tea and asked.

"But since you've already come to the Demon Realm, why don't you stay for two more days? Xiao Xiao Ai will be very happy that way, and it will take some time to prepare what you want."

"Well, that's fine." Xiangbei didn't have any objection.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time left in the mission, so it is a good opportunity to practice the new power.

So Xiangbei stayed in the Demon Realm for another three days.
