Blazing Flame Monarch, fifth level of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Within the secret laboratory.
Grimm stood in front of a delicate and intricate alchemy experiment table, silently examining the resplendent image diamond in front of him.
The image diamond was no longer dark and abstruse like before. Instead, it shone with a dazzling light, bright and mesmerizing.
However, not only did the light it emitted not illuminate a certain area, it instead made the room that was originally filled with sunlight dim and serene, as if the light source was shrouded by a thin veil.
The surface of the image diamond had already been engraved with dense, strange patterns and lines. The delicate and small array glyphs densely covered the entire shell, leaving not even the slightest space.
This was a masterpiece that Grimm had spent a month to complete with great difficulty!
But now, this strange 'half-finished product' had been embedded into the body of the three-meter-tall Elemental Magic Equipment. Above them, the Shadow Pearl, known as the Darkness Tribe's Origin Wizard Weapon, floated in the air. A sea of Shadow Matter surged out of the pearl and entered the Elemental Magic Equipment.
As the Shadow Matter invaded the Elemental Magic Equipment, the body of the Elemental Magic Equipment gradually became dark and gloomy. The edges of the metallic body that had been solid also became hazy and illusory, beginning to transform into the energy of the Dark Element.
This Elemental Magic Equipment that was originally only level three could no longer help Grimm. Thus, with the idea of 'reusing trash and modifying it rationally', Grimm modified the level four image diamond into a Magic Puppet Crystal Core, replacing the original Elemental Crystal Core of the Elemental Magic Equipment.
Other than upgrading the core, Grimm was not stingy with his resources. He urged the Shadow Pearl to modify the metallic body of the Elemental Magic Equipment into some kind of Shadow Metal.
If all of these modifications were completed, the Elemental Magic Equipment would be able to smoothly evolve into a Shadow Steel Magic Equipment, becoming a powerful metal puppet that could move and turn invisible within the Shadow Matter.
In the past, any Metal Magic Equipment would have an indestructible metallic body, as well as a terrifying weight that would leave one speechless. Wherever they went, there would be a loud rumble, as if they had their own gravity barrier!
After being modified into a Shadow Steel Magic Equipment, all Shadow Metal would be supported by Shadow Energy. As long as there was a shadow within a radius of 50 meters, they could rely on the power of the shadow to move around like a light ghost.
More importantly, even though their original forms were huge and heavy, they could hide in palm-sized shadows without being noticed by others.
Therefore, Shadowsteel Demonic Machinery was also a strange branch of metal puppets that was most proficient in assassination!
For the sake of this transformation, Grimm had made the greatest adjustments to the appearance of the Elemental Magic Equipment, replacing its arms and legs with metal claws that could attack multiple targets. If it was equipped with an anti-detection amulet and a magic cloak, its every move would be even more unpredictable and unpredictable.
After checking the progress of the Shadowsteel Magic Equipment, Grimm nodded in satisfaction.
Without the Shadow Orb, it would have taken Grimm over a hundred years to complete the Shadowsteel transformation. But now, in just half a month's time, the Shadowization progress had reached 63%.
This also meant that in another half a month's time, this Grade 4 Shadowsteel Magic Machine would be able to step onto the battlefield and fight for him once more!
A few days ago, Grim had spent tens of millions of magic crystals in order to build a base for his family outside the city. Only then did he manage to move Gaz 'ruvi and his steel capital to the outskirts of Exodar's camp.
The amount of resources consumed was so great that it could cause most Magus families to go bankrupt!
Even the Crimson Family, which had two well-developed resource planes, had some savings, but they had all been squandered away by Grimm's actions.
Of course, if Grimm was willing to auction off this Shadowsteel Magic Equipment that was about to be completed, the black hole in the family's finances would be filled in an instant.
A Shadowsteel Magic Equipment with steel armour could appear in the shadows like a specter assassin, and it could even cast most shadow abilities. Such a Shadowsteel Magic Equipment was more than enough to take on a Grade 4 Giant Dragon on its own.
On top of that, in order to increase its might, Grimm had used the gnomes' latest memory metal and a small magic amplifier to create its new body.
Hence, in Grimm's mind, the A.I. Chip's specifications for this Shadowsteel Magic Equipment were:
Target Name: Shadowsteel Magic Equipment
Target Rank: Mid Grade 4
Target's stats: Strength
Target's description: Possesses all low to mid grade shadow abilities, as well as a large number of high-grade shadow abilities. Can freely shuttle through shadow matter. As long as there is shadow matter within a 50m radius, the target's weight will be zero. Possesses a small Shadow Space, and can summon 3 shadow creatures to fight for it.
Maximum Jump Distance: 700m
Target's Magic Resistance: Basic Elements (Odd), Darkness Elemental (Superior)
Target's Characteristics: Rune Characteristics, Dark Vision, Magic Immunity (Intermediate, Elementary), Dark Vision, Damage Reduction
Special Skills: Blending into Shadows (Constant), Light Absorption (Constant), Shadow Healing (Constant), Multi Attack, Dark Elemental Shock Wave
According to the A.I. Chip's comprehensive analysis, once this Shadowsteel Magic Equipment was completed, its basic battle strength would reach mid Grade 4. Once it fully displayed its strengths, it could even display the terrifying battle strength of a high Grade 4!
After all, the Shadowsteel Magic Equipment was no longer a warrior that fought head-on. Instead, it had been modified into a ghostly assassin that could appear and disappear unpredictably.
It was easy to imagine that, when a Tier 4 Intermediate Steel Assassin suddenly appeared from the shadows, any Tier 4 Sorcerer fighting Grimm would be caught off guard and suffer a huge loss.
After dealing with the Shadowsteel Magic Equipment, Grimm left the Alchemy Laboratory and went to another secret Wizard Room.
The furnishings here were unusually simple.
There was a stone table, a stone chair, and a thick book lying quietly on the stone table.
However, the defenses here were unusually tight.
The walls, floor, and ceiling were covered in strange, intricate runes. Together, they formed a small, almost self-contained space, separating the secret room from the rest of the Wizard's Pagoda.
This way, nothing that happened in the secret room could be detected through divination or prophecy spells!
This was the secret Wizard Room that Alice had personally built for Grimm, and it was also the 'prison' for the Book of Wisdom.
It couldn't be helped. Even though the Shadow Pearl was a level 5 holy item, it did not belong to anyone.
Hence, he only needed to cast a simple Fate Protection to prevent the Dark Witches from detecting it.
However, the Book of Wisdom was different. It was a level 5 Divine Weapon with a clear owner!
With the support of the God of Wisdom Jello's endless divine power, if he could not find a way to isolate the connection between the divine artifact and its master, Grim would have to hold it in his hand at all times to prevent it from escaping.
Hence, Grimm could only ask Alice to create a small Space Domain that was almost completely isolated from the outside world. Only then did the Book of Wisdom 'quiet' down.
Following the explosion of flames, Grimm's tall figure appeared in a corner of the secret room.
This secret room was already isolated from the outside world, and there was no way to enter or exit. It could only be teleported through a fixed spatial waymark. The spatial waymark was controlled by Grimm alone, and even Alice and Mary did not know about it.
This also prevented any possibility of information being leaked!
After entering the secret room, Grimm coughed violently for a long time before carefully sitting in front of the stone table. He gently flipped open the Book of Wisdom.
"God is omnipotent!"
As far as the eye could see, there was only this simple sentence on the huge page!
God is omnipotent … Hmph, if the gods were so powerful, would there still be evil and filth in the world? Hmph, pretending to be mysterious …
Grimm wanted to flip to the second page, but no matter how hard he tried, the remaining pages seemed to stick together and could not be lifted.
But no matter how hard he tried, the remaining pages seemed to stick together, and he couldn't lift them at all.
Could it be that the divine weapon that I snatched back with so much difficulty is still incomplete? A.I. Chip, help me analyse it … "Grimm tried a few times, but to no avail. He could only close the door and release the A.I. Chip. [Beep. Detected the existence of a divine weapon that was gathered with so much difficulty. Could it be that the divine weapon is incomplete?
A.I. Chip, help me analyse it … "Grimm tried a few times, but to no avail. He could only close the door and release the A.I. Chip.
"Become its resonance? What does that mean? "
"It means to become a devout follower of the God of Wisdom. As long as the Host's spiritual undulations are in sync with the divine weapon's divine weapon, you will be able to read the rest of the book without any obstacles! "
"Damn it, are you trying to persuade me to change my faith? We Magi don't believe in any gods, we only believe in ourselves! "
"Worshipping oneself is a different kind of faith! If the Host doesn't intend to change his faith, you can refer to the book 'Gulliver's Self-Hypnosis' … "
Grimm's face immediately revealed an embarrassed smile.
Gulliver was also a Magus who called himself the Arcane Trickster. He loved to research the divine spells of the gods.
He discovered that the followers of the gods did not need to conduct any profound research to be able to display terrifying high-ranked divine spells under the blessings of the gods. In this aspect, the growth of followers of the gods was much easier than that of Magi, and there was not as much risk.
Because he knew how to obtain this power without sowing, Gulliver came up with an ingenious idea and researched a type of self-hypnosis technique. It allowed him to temporarily disguise himself as a devout follower of a great god and obtain some divine spells from the gods.
If he only deceived one god, the number of divine spells he could obtain each day would be limited.
However, Gulliver was a genius. With the powerful abilities of the Arcane Trickster, he could deceive tens of gods at the same time.
