Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: Chapter 446 Responsibility (2/2)

“And for me, the appearance of Ultimate Alchemy is just too shocking. I really hope to see its results! And now, this wish might be realized right before my eyes!”

That’s the “Destroyer” from the Reforging Church.

Felix frowned deeply. In fact, just as he remembered, the “Destroyer” was a person who was obsessed with all technologies and alchemy to the point of madness, and in his eyes, the lives of ordinary people were insignificant, with technology being the only thing of importance.

And the ultimate technique of alchemy was right in front of him; asking him to give it up was impossible.

The blonde leader of the Vallere Reconstruction Army, Agata, also came over and said, “I’ll just say it straight. Even without it, we can still win, but it’s always better to be cautious and increase our chances of victory, even if just a little bit.”

“We need the creation of Ultimate Alchemy… the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. I don’t know what power it possesses, but it will definitely be useful!”

Felix looked at Agata, the leader of the Vallere Reconstruction Army, who continued calmly:

“I can understand your desire to stop us and, if I were in your place, I wouldn’t stand by and watch my countrymen be treated as expendables either. But fundamentally, our stances are different… Rather, Bishop Felix, if you truly stand with our Three Kingdoms Alliance, then allow us to do all this, as a declaration of your stance.”

What to do?

Felix felt extremely troubled, as his Cyart conscience wouldn’t allow him to ignore such matters.

At the same time, the captured civilians looked over in unison, their gazes converging into a forceful plea, all directed toward that influential person on their side.

The appearance of this influential figure was like a beam of light piercing through the clouds, illuminating this forgotten corner.

In the eyes of the Cyart people, there were complex emotions ranging from a yearning for freedom, like parched earth longing for rain, to an expectation for redemption, like mariners seeking a lighthouse on their way home.

Their eyes shimmered with tears, but these were not tears of despair; rather, they were the shine of hope.

They gazed at Felix, each look filled with aspirations for the future.

“Save us!”

“Please! Save us!”

“Help me. I am willing to die, but please save my child!”

Felix felt the weighty expectation and trust of the Cyart people, acutely aware of his substantial responsibilities and understanding that his every word and action would affect the destinies of these innocent lives.

Finally, he set his resolve and looked sternly at the three people:

“If you insist on using the souls of the Cyart people to create this so-called Philosopher’s Stone, then take me instead. Although I am a devout follower of the God of Reforging and chosen by Him, I am also a Cyart.”

Having said that, Felix stepped resolutely into the Alchemy Array, among all the Cyart people, and then quietly fixed his gaze on the “Destroyer,” the King of Vallere, and the Leader of the Reconstruction Army, Agata.

“Well then, Your Excellency, I am willing to honor and respect your will!”

The King of Vallere’s voice suddenly became deep, betraying a hint of ruthlessness.

He had long felt that having a person from the Fischer family mixed into the Three Kingdoms Alliance could potentially be a disaster. If he could resolve this issue here, it would be for the best.

Agata frowned slightly but did not speak.

“Stop.”

The icy voice of the “Destroyer” suddenly made the King of Vallere turn his head.

“Your Eminence Cardinal, do you also wish to stop us?”

The “Destroyer” nodded, seeming rather helpless as he said, “Because he bears the mark of the God of Reforging, which is important to us at the Reforging Church. Apart from the Chief… he is the only second person to have such a mark, I don’t even have it.”

“So, we can discuss this matter later, but Felix must not die.”

He suddenly crouched down, pointing out a subtle “transfer” spell among the myriad of intricate spells.

“Moreover, I’ve come to my senses a bit. It seems that in this Alchemy Array, the Heavenly Enlightenment has left behind… a certain contingency.”

“If we truly create the Philosopher’s Stone, that stone might just be snatched away by the Heavenly Enlightenment from afar and will not fall into our hands.”

This revelation by the “Destroyer” shocked everyone, as the level of the Alchemy Array was too high, and the designs of the spells were too intricate and interlinked for them to have noticed this detail.

Felix fell silent for a long moment before suddenly asking, “King of Vallere, was the person you encountered in your dreams an old man wearing a blue robe who claimed to be the Sapphire Ancient Library’s Curator?”

“How do you know?” The King of Vallere was stunned.

Felix fell silent again, recalling everything his grandfather Byrne had experienced. So the habit of the Sapphire Curator of stealing others’ achievements still hadn’t changed, thinking back to his grandfather’s case.

Although he had failed once with his grandfather, if he were to spread such an enchanting Ultimate Alchemy on a large scale… Felix couldn’t imagine how many people around the world would sacrifice ordinary people’s souls in pursuit of the Philosopher’s Stone which was said to work miracles, and in the end, every last one of those stones would wind up in his hands!

Just the thought of this made sweat break out on Felix’s back.
