Chapter 125 (2/2)

After all, Vandalieu had no knowledge on what kind of being it was He had the feeling that if by so to hi that had happened while he was alive in Origin, or perhaps after he became an Undead

After considering things up to this point, Vandalieu shook his head “Well, I’m sure Gods have their own circuh ation into the God of Origin, so let’s set that aside for now,” he said

“Indeed, we do not knohat kind of God it is, so it cannot be helped If only we knew the effects of the divine protection it gave Legion, we ht have a hint,” said Zadiris

With that, it was decided that the in would be set aside It was a mystery as to why that God had lent its assistance Perhaps Zuruwarn had offered sootiation, or perhaps it just hated Rodcorte

Rodcorte didn’t appear in the ends of any world; he was simply a God who ruled over reincarnation Thus, his relationshi+ps with the Gods of the various worlds was unknown

At the very least, according to what Vandalieu had heard fro and Merrebeveil, the Gods of Lambda… those on Vida’s side, apparently didn’t think of him very favorably

“I cannot go into detail, but he is shi+t”

“Scum”

“Worse than vile”

This had been Fidirg’s response when Vandalieu asked him about Rodcorte

“I cannot speak in detail, but if he existed in a place le him to death That is the kind of God he is”

This had been Merrebeveil’s response

It sees in the past as well

As Gods, Fidirg and Merrebeveil hadn’t been able to explainsouls, reincarnation and past events to Vandalieu in detail, but he got a clear picture of what they thought of Rodcorte

“There are statues of Zuruwarn and Ricklent in the Church of Vida, aren’t there?” Vandalieu asked

“Of course, Holy Son,” said Nuaza

Gods other than Vida had also been enshrined at the Church of Vida that was currently being run by Nuaza Statues of Alda, the God of law and fate, as responsible for heavily wounding Vida, as well as his subordinate Gods and other subordinate Gods ere said to have joined his side had been destroyed, and the other statues remained as they were

Of course, Zuruwarn and Ricklent’s statues were enshrined there

“Well then, let us make sure to pray to them the next time we visit the Church It seems that prayers reach the Gods in Lambda, after all,” Vandalieu said

It was difficult to iine that the Gods understood all of these prayers, however Perhaps they would eventually send Divine Messages or so similar

“Now then, next is Luion’s base, the Life Gold and the disappearing silver,” said Luciliano “For now, let’s discuss e know –” He began announcing as known about each item “First is Lump-of-flesh-chan I believe that it was likely one of the three holy grails that Alche to create – the base form of life”

“… What is that?” Vandalieu asked

“… If the one who created it does not understand, that s difficult, Master”

Vandalieu had si the Goddess-created resurrection device afterit in an attempt to fix it That was how Vandalieu felt, but Luciliano looked at hi disappointing

“The three holy grails are the supreme Alchemy techniques that are considered impossible unless one becomes a God It is said that the Gods used one of these techniques when they created new life It is otherwise known as ‘life with no soul,’” Luciliano explained

“Is itto create as a body for Darcia-Ogibosa to Darcia as her mother-in-law

TLN: This is an honorific that means “mother-in-law”

Luciliano nodded “A Homunculus is ‘artificial life’ It would nor the ‘base form of life’ A Homunculus is also ‘life with no soul,’ but the versatility after creation is what makes them different A Homunculus can only become an artificial human, but the ‘base form of life’ can theoretically becoon or Colossus”

“Even an Elder Dragon! Borkus says that he can only defeat regular Dragons… Holy Son, you’ve gone and created so?”

Vandalieu had been atte to create a Homunculus for the purpose of Darcia’s resurrection; it was apparently a great shock to learn that he had created so so

“No, it seeone li hiround with her arms

Why was it that he had rail of Alchemy but failed to create a Horail? It seemed extremely absurd to Vandalieu

Still being held froround by Zadiris, he asked Luciliano a question “If I created a new Lump-of-flesh-chan and put my mother’s spirit into it, would it be possible to resurrect her?”

Luciliano looked not at Vandalieu, but at Zadiris “Zadiris, make sure you hold Master properly,” he told her “Master, it is theoretically possible It is possible, but it is impossible for you as you are now That Lump-of-flesh-chan… even after it was complete, it did not accept the souls around it at all You even tried to put spirits into it yourself, did you not? But the fact that it was i use of it are i the supreme techniques of Alchemy”

Incidentally, Vandalieu would later ask the Gods that he was able to go andand Merrebeveil, to see if they could help him, only to find that it was impossible as he had expected It was apparently possible if he didn’ta Lizardman or a mass of tentacles, however

“How tragic, Van-sama…” said Tarea

“… Say, Tarea Stop e both me and the boy,” said Zadiris

It was as if Vandalieu had so to build a steaine

The result was incredible, but the technology was too advanced and he couldn’t make use of it

“Well, it is unlikely to beco as they did in this case, so there is no harm,” Luciliano added

It seemed that it wouldn’t be either harmful or beneficial at this point

“… Now then, let us pull ourselves together andsilver,” said Vandalieu’s spirit form, which had floated out of his body

“Judging from the fact that you’ve used Out-of-body Experience, it seeether, but… Anyhat I can say as a blacksmith is that both are s that aren’t metals,” said Datara “Life Gold would be sie its shape It’s as soft as clay, you see But whether I heat it up or cool it down, it stays soft, and it keepsIf I try to hit it withaway”

Unlike the Death Iron and Dark Copper that Vandalieu had previously created, which were liquid led toout of Life Gold

It was coless to put the slied with a hammer, either

Tarea had also struggled to process Life Gold

“I triedit with monster materials to create paints and adhesives, but it was a complete failure Noaround,” she said “But I found out so when Datara ate the Life Gold”

“I’h,” Datara said with a strange expression before opening his olden teeth a his thick, white ones

“Are those gold teeth made of Life Gold?” Vandalieu asked

“Yeah, these have made me feel better Hmm, the moment the Life Gold entered my mouth, it went and beca on its own and stayed solid,” Datara said

Vandalieu, who had regained his willpower, looked to see that Datara’s golden teeth were indeedin the shape of teeth

“Ever since I got these gold teeth, ood My Vitality has increased; it’s like I’ve becoer,” Datara said

“Judging from this, Life Gold cannot be used like normal metals; I think there are plenty of ways to use it other than having it eaten by Undead,” said Tarea

It seeparts of non-living beings such as Undead Apparently, it even increased the Undead’s Vitality and improved their health

“If Undead can use it, could Living Armors and Cursed Weapons not use it?” said Zadiris “Why not test them on Rita and Saria? It could even beco two birds with one stone”

“Indeed I’ll test it next ti held in Zadiris’s arms “By the way, Luciliano, is this Life Gold another one of Alcherails?”

“I’ his head “Since it is a life for similar to the ‘base form of life,’ but I ah I do not believe any Alches that you create, Master However, the disappearing silver is likely one of the holy grails, the ‘base form of spirit’”

The disappearing silver that only Legion had been able to notice and absorb Judging frouessed that it was the ‘base form of spirit’

It had been recorded in e of the Gods, the Gods had used the ‘base form of spirit’ to create their own Spirit Clones and familiar spirits When they created the humans, Elves and Dwarves, they had used the ‘base form of life’ for their bodies and the ‘base form of spirit’ to create their minds

“However, arails of Alchemy, the ‘base form of spirit’ is the one that is shrouded in the es believes that it is a le detailed description of it in any ends,” Luciliano continued “That is why I cannot anism that was born when Zuruwarn and Ricklent drove the souls froin into the object that was a combination of the ‘base form of life,’ Lump-of-flesh-chan, and the ‘base form of spirit’”

That was apparently how things were The technology was excessive even for Luciliano, so this was the only conclusion that he could make

“For the work of a group of Gods, I feel like it was rather crude,” Tarea co to do this, it would have been better to have them separate one by one and be reincarnated as hu similar”

“No, there is no need to say that I am sure there were some circumstances that did not allow them to do this And it is possible that if they were not put into that for successful,” said Nuaza

If Zuruwarn and Ricklent had been listening, they iven the thumbs up to Nuaza’s response

“In that case, I can’t think of any way to use the silver For now, let’s try using it on Undead like the Life Gold,” said Vandalieu “We’ll lose track of it without Legion holding it for us, so we’ll have to test it later, though”

“So, Holy Son, ill you name it?” Nuaza asked

“Let’s call it ‘Spirit Silver’”

The ‘disappearing silver,’ or ‘mysterious silver,’ was non as Spirit Silver It was apparently one of Alche it froht of it, so it was a slightly troublesoion’s assistance to find a way to make use of it

“Incidentally, what is the other holy grail of Alchemy?” Vandalieu asked

“The creation of the divine metal, Orichalcum,” Luciliano replied “Thanks to you and some others in Talosheim, it seems to have become less impressive, however”

“There was a Dragon-shaped Orichalcum Golem, after all,” said Zadiris “Even my staff is made of it”

“And with the Holy Son’s frag, there are plenty ofOrichalcum,” Datara added “It’s only natural that Orichalcum seems less impressive now”

“Now that I think about it, we are truly blessed,” said Tarea

Since the investigation couldn’t be carried out in any an

At this rate, Vandalieu would enjoy the idle chatter for a while and then say, “See you tomorrow” and dismiss everyone

At that aze fro

The ceiling of this underground workshop was incredibly high However, it appeared to Vandalieu as if there was a distorted ‘hole’ open at a height below the ceiling

“That’s…”

Through the ‘hole,’ Vandalieu could see an enor silhouette as well as a dozen more silhouettes lined up in front of him, some that looked familiar and some that didn’t

They matched the descriptions of the deceased Bravers that Vandalieu had heard fro them ere supposed to still be alive

Leaving that aside, this was an eency situation

“Is there so there, boy?” Zadiris asked curiously

Vandalieu didn’t knohat Rodcorte and the reincarnated individuals were intending to do before they were even reincarnated, nor did he knohat they were able to do, and there was no reaction froer Sense: Death, either But for now, he decided that everyone should step back

“Everyone, step back –”

The ripping his heart, and he felt Danger Sense: Death reacting, he realized what they were trying to do

This wasn’t a declaration of war, a call for discussion or reconnaissance

It was an attack

Material explanation:

【Life Gold】

A livingi sirails, the ‘base form of life’

In this forold; it is alive but does not possess the ability to fight, nor can iteven when exposed to teold or absolute zero, but it si

Also, it does not possess a mind or a sense of self It is impossible to have spirits inhabit it

Its first use is that it can be eaten Eating it grants a sht increase in the Vitality Attribute Value

It possesses the ability to improve health; it does not produce effects in healthy children and young people, but it improves the condition of unhealthy creatures and incomplete Undead

By ingesting enough Life Gold, it is possible to replace chipped or ans and bones Also, it works as a medicine to boost sexual function

When ingested by monsters, it can cause special evolutions as their Rank increases
