News of Greya's new spell spread like wildfire. However, most wizards were focused on Greya's "Birth" spell. They were trying to figure out the difference between it and Creation. As for Angor's story, it slowly died down. However, Angor's name and his alchemy illusions had left a lasting mark in people's minds.
Angor never left Phantom Island in the past week. He spent all his time on creating alchemy illusions.
When Number 233 came to him, he had already created nearly a hundred illusions. The entire lab was now filled with dazzling crystal balls.
"Mister Padt, here's the report on the undead," Number 233 said as he handed Angor a stack of records.
Angor browsed through the records. The male undead who was hit by the white bullet didn't change his appearance at all. He was still a "half-undead". However, according to Number 233's language test, the half-undead was able to think faster.
"He's a quick learner. He can infer many things from one example. I think he still has some language memory left in him. " Number 233 paused for a moment before he continued, "It only took him a week to learn how to think."
"You mean to say that he has his own thoughts now? And he can talk to me? "Angor asked.
Number 233 nodded. "I think so. But he doesn't want to talk to us. Furthermore, although he has a certain level of intelligence, he is still controlled by the chaotic energy in his body. His actions and thoughts are obviously filled with evil intentions. "
In other words, he was still a notorious undead, whether it was his desire for destruction or his behavior. However, he now had some thinking ability.
"Let's go check it out." Angor collected all the crystal balls and went to the sealed lab next door.
When Angor arrived, the half-undead looked up as if he sensed a new aura coming from the outside world. At the same time, the half-undead grinned and looked up at Angor.
"What's your name?" Angor asked in a low voice.
The half-undead laughed crazily inside the sealed lab. After a while, he uttered several words filled with murderous intent. "Crush … chop … hahahaha … give me back my banyan flower …"
Number 233 whispered into Angor's ear, "I noticed that he's really obsessed with this banyan flower. I did some research and found out that it's a plant from the Revelation Empire that can grant immortality if you eat it. But it's only a legend among mortals. Some wizards found out that it's the Blue Pillar Flower. "
The Blue Pillar Flower was a low-tier magic plant that could be used to make a low-tier potion called Light Blue Water. Light Blue Water could increase one's lifespan by five to fifteen years. However, there was a limit to how many times a potion could be used.
From the effects of the Light Blue Water, it could be seen that the Blue Pillar Flower did indeed have the effect of prolonging one's lifespan, but immortality was impossible.
Most sorcerers, including the apprentices, despised the fact that the Light Blue Water could increase their lifespan too little, and did not buy into the Light Blue Water.
"What do you need those flowers for?" Angor asked the half-undead.
"That's mine! Ziro lied to me! He lied to me! I'll kill him! "The half-undead yelled madly.
Angor heard a new name. "Ziro."
"Ziro killed you and stole your banyan flower. So you became an undead out of regret?" Angor looked down at the half-undead in the secret chamber. "Am I right?"
"So what? Give me the banyan flower … Let me out! I'm going to kill Ziro! I'm going to tear him to pieces!"
Angor nodded. Judging from the half-undead's answer, he did have the ability to think and remember what happened before his death.
However, even though he had some memories, just as 233 said, he was still affected by the chaotic energy in his body. His mind was filled with stubbornness, hatred, and negative thoughts. There was still a difference between him and a pure soul.
"Let's move on to the second phase of the experiment." Angor took out a notebook from his bracelet and wrote down the half-undead's condition. So far, Angor had a general idea of how the half-undead reacted after being shot. He changed from a mindless undead who only knew how to kill, to a mindless undead who only knew how to kill.
Speaking of which, the half-undead did not do much good.
At most, the half-undead would be able to kill in a more roundabout way after gaining some intelligence. However, the chaotic energy still controlled the whole situation, so Angor's overall evaluation was still reckless.
"This half-Mystic-tier is so much weaker than the one in Soul Genesis Garden." Angor wondered if he used the wrong method.
Angor shook his head, went down the stairs, and pushed open the door of the sealed lab.
As soon as he opened the door, the half-undead attacked him madly.
However, due to the runes, the half-undead could only bare its fangs and claws within a certain range.
Angor couldn't help but shake his head. The bullet was useless even though it had intelligence. What a useless white bullet.
Angor raised his gun and aimed at the half-undead.
He wanted to see if the half-undead would change after being hit by two bullets.
The second bullet, accompanied by a glowing tentacle, hit the half-undead without any resistance. The half-undead's body trembled and fell to the ground in a flash of white light.
Angor left the lab and asked Number 233 to keep an eye on the second phase of the experiment.
Two days later, Angor received a report from Number 233.
The stable energy inside the half-undead's body continued to increase, while the chaotic energy was greatly reduced. However, the reduction was much weaker than the first bullet. When the half-undead's body finally reached a balance, the stable energy took up about three-quarters of the half-undead's energy, while the chaotic energy took up about one-fourth.
In other words, the second bullet could only achieve half of the effect of the first bullet.
When Angor saw the half-undead again, he noticed that the half-undead's emotions were much more stable than before. Even when Angor entered the lab, the half-undead did not attack immediately. Instead, it observed Angor's reaction.
As the chaotic energy decreased, the half-undead's mind became stronger and calmer.
However, the malice and hatred in its eyes did not diminish much, which meant it was still an undead.
"What should we do now, Mister Padt?" Number 233 asked.
Angor raised his gun and fired the third bullet at the half-undead. Again, the white bullet sank into the half-undead's chest.
Angor turned to Number 233. "Keep observing it. Record all the fluctuations of energy."
Two days later, Angor read the report again. The effect of the third bullet was still decreasing, which was half of the effect of the first bullet.
In other words, the stable energy inside the half-undead's body was about seven-eighths, while the chaotic energy was only one-eighth.
At this rate, the chaotic energy inside the half-undead's body would not disappear no matter what. As long as there was a trace of chaotic energy, the half-undead would still be an undead.
"His mind is clearer than before," Number 233 said. "But he's still hostile to living beings."
Angor looked at Number 233. "What do you think will happen if we keep this up?"
Number 233 did not expect Angor to ask such a question. It was as if Angor was asking for his opinion. Number 233 was a little flattered. His mind was spinning quickly. Based on his observations over the past half a month, he carefully chose his words and said,
"Mister Padt, as the stable energy inside the half-undead's body increases, he becomes smarter and calmer. I think if we keep this up, he'll turn from a chaotic evil into a highly intelligent one. If he stays in this world, he'll become a great threat. "
Angor nodded. Number 233's answer was similar to what Angor expected.
However, he was still wondering if Prelude to Rebirth was meant to create a highly intelligent undead.
There were thousands of Mystery Items out there, and it was not unusual for something like this to have such an effect. But what was the main theme of Prelude to Rebirth?
The main theme was to destroy undead creatures.
The magic array "Prelude to Elimination" was designed to destroy undead creatures from the world.
The revolver was designed to destroy undead creatures, but its bullets were meant to create a highly intelligent undead creature?
Angor found it hard to believe.
Logically speaking, when he created Prelude to Reincarnation, he wanted to destroy the undead. The creator's original intention was to destroy the undead, and his main function was indeed to destroy the undead. However, the mysterious effect was contrary to the creator's and the magic array's intention. Was this possible?
Maybe, but Prelude to Rebirth was not an accident.
If Prelude to Rebirth's Mystery effect was still to destroy undead creatures, then what was the point of creating such a highly intelligent undead creature?
Angor pondered for a while and came up with an answer in his mind.
He was going to start the fourth phase of his experiment.
Angor stood in front of the half-undead again. After getting hit three times in a row, the half-undead seemed to have gained some intelligence, and its coat was no longer as tattered as before.
It was now wearing a coffee-colored waistcoat, a checkered hat, and a silver pendant around its waist.
Angor could tell that the creature was a mortal when it was alive. Otherwise, it would have known about the Blue Pillar Flower. Angor guessed that this was how he was dressed when he was alive. He must be a new noble who pursued flashy but lacked substance.
The half-undead creature sat on a bench and stared at Angor with a pair of vicious eyes.
However, Angor noticed that the creature's eyes were filled with "expectation" as well.
"What are you expecting? That I'll shoot you with this? "Angor twirled the revolver in his hand and looked at the half-undead creature.
For the first time, the half-undead asked a question. "Who are you? What's your goal? "
Angor did not answer. Instead, he slowly lifted the revolver.
"My goal? You already know it, don't you? I'm going to shoot again this time. But this time, I'm going to kill you. "With that, Angor activated the" Prelude to Elimination "magic array at the half-undead creature.
A ripple spread out from the barrel.
