Conceptual stats were a stat that governed everything related to it. The higher this stat, the more trendously its value increased.
Even now, according to what Eternal Heaven and Black Heaven have said, I had already surpassed the beings of the previous era.
Even the previous era’s Demon Emperor couldn’t surpass my Energy of Defying Heaven and was robbed of his vessel.
‘Alchemy.’
And once you governed that concept, you could do incredible things.
Haah!
A golden light lingered in my hand.
I picked up two materials.
The tail of a Salamander and the essence of an Undine. As the golden light touched these two materials, sothing amazing happened.
The tail of the Salamander and the essence of the Undine began to fuse together, blending. During this process, magical powers linger and the materials transform.
‘I thought it would be impossible because of the Energy of Defying Heaven.’
The Conceptual Stat Alchemy tuned the magic and transford the materials.
Using the power of Conceptual Stat Alchemy, most complex processes can be skipped, and the efficiency of the materials can be enhanced.
Even the most ti-consuming process of maturing materials can be bypassed.
‘The efficiency is unbelievable.’
With just this, the speed of alchemy had beco incredibly fast. And the end products had improved as well.
Well, it’s only natural for soone who had beco the god of alchemy to be able to do this much.
I made a potion and checked it with the Talent, Reading.
Yin-Yang Elixir (B)
A potion made by the one called the god of alchemy as a trial. It's an elixir made by appropriately mixing materials with the energy of yin and yang.
: Upon consumption, all stats increase by 3 for 10 minutes.
: If magical power is below 30, it permanently increases by 1.
‘Not bad, right?’
At first glance, it might not seem like much, but considering these materials are easy to obtain and can be produced quickly in large quantities, it’s an incredible feat.
‘Normally, there should be a penalty.’
Currently, there’s no penalty. Whether it’s due to the power of Conceptual Stat Alchemy or my own skill offsetting the penalty, I was not sure.
‘And it doesn’t stop here.’
A golden light lingered in my hand. I added an Aqua Rose to it.
It looked like a blue rose, and touching it felt like touching water. However, it didn’t fetch a high price.
Yin-Yang Superior Elixir (A )
A mass-produced spirit elixir created by the one known as the god of alchemy for future generations.
It's a perfect elixir, made by mixing materials with the energy of yin and yang in just the right proportions and adding one material as the finishing touch.
: Upon consumption, all stats increase by 5 for 20 minutes.
: If the general stat is below 30, it randomly permanently increases by 1.
[You have created a spirit elixir that will be rembered by future generations. You gained 10,000p!]
‘At this rate, the supply won’t be able to et the demand.’
My skills must have improved. A really effective potion ca out.
Most people would consu this elixir until their stats were evenly raised. Many would covet this potion, including those lacking in magic like Seo Ga-yeon, Hong Yu-hwa, and Ershil too.
‘It’s sad I can’t enjoy it myself.’
Couldn’t be helped. At this point, the potion was already being produced at a rapid pace.
Moreover, my growth rate exceeded my expectations, and the level of strong enemies that invaded was beyond what I had anticipated as well.
I gathered the potions and moved on. It was almost ti.
“You’re here.”
A bright, sun-like woman was there.
The Emperor, Seo Ye-bin.
She greeted with a bright smile upon seeing .
Next to her stood a woman clad in a white lab coat over a hoodie, dark circles prominent under her eyes. She was a half-blood of the race known as Dwarves among the Fae.
“Well, it’s a promise.”
With those words, I turned my gaze to the star positioned at the center of the workshop.
‘The first star?’
It had long arms and a towering stature.
There were no signs of biological activity, such as a heartbeat, yet I was certain it was alive. This was a characteristic of the ‘stars’ created by the Emperor.
‘Technically, it’s a doll.’
Puppeteer, Seo Ye-bin.
Before she was known as the Emperor, that was the title she went by. I pondered this briefly before getting ready to work.
“Do you have anything new to make?”
“Will you create sothing new?”
The Vice Principal addressed with honorifics.
This wasn’t always the case, but after I revealed that I was Veritas, she began to call herself a fan and used extre honorifics when speaking to .
‘It’s uncomfortable, but.’
Even if I were to combine my age from my past life with this one, it wouldn’t amount to even one-tenth of her age. However, since the other party insisted on using honorifics, there’s not much I could do about it.
“New? Is it possible to further strengthen the puppet?”
“Hm, it seems possible.”
I examined the first star with Divine Sight.
Divine Sight coursed through my body, allowing to see the physique of the first star.
‘It’s quite a ss.’
The body was more damaged than I had anticipated. The heart was half-burst, and various parts of the body were damaged either from forcibly drawing in mana, affecting the muscles and bones. The mana circuit was in poor condition, and the core, which is the most crucial component, was in a perilous state.
“Do you have sothing to replace the heart?”
“Here it is.”
Seo Ye-bin handed a red orb.
Without needing to look, I could sense the trendous magical power it contained. Mana as vast as the ocean.
Imoogi's Orb (S)
The Orb held by an Imoogi just before its transformation into a dragon.
Contains mana like the ocean.
: Upon consumption, greatly awakens fire attribute magic control.
: Upon consumption, greatly increases magical power.
‘This is expensive.’
It was the heart of an Imoogi. Moreover, it’s the heart of a being on the verge of becoming a dragon.
“Do you have rcury?”
“rcury?”
“Yes, it would be better if it’s mixed with cot dust.”
“I have that.”
The Vice Principal pulled out a basin from her possession. Inside, rcury mixed with cot dust was sloshing around.
“Then, I’ll use the heart first.”
Haah!
A golden glow enveloped the orb.
I tuned the magic with alchemy. I didn’t possess magical power myself, but by utilizing alchemy, I could manipulate the magical power inherent in the materials.
‘What should I do?’
I pondered the characteristics of the first star.
Among all the stars, he was the most perfect creation. He was the most outstanding puppet ticulously crafted by the Emperor. He could confront The Brigade of Eternal Heaven alone, and even Transcendent beings hesitated to face the first star.
To maximize the potential of the Imoogi’s heart, I should aim to fully awaken its magical power.
I placed my hand on the Imoogi’s heart.
“Ansuz──.”
Conceptual Stat Alchemy imparted knowledge to . Knowledge that didn’t exist until now erged, and I realized it was a form of Rune language.
Flash!
Golden light flashed, enveloping the orb. Threads of magical power surged from the heart, beginning to draw circuits on the orb.
The most basic stage of alchemy is creating a potion.
Then, tuning the material with magic to enhance its quality.
‘The final stage is.’
The ability to engrave circuits on materials with magical power.
Enchant.
I enchanted both the Imoogi’s heart and the rcury with cot dust simultaneously.
Golden light weaved magical circuits into the Imoogi’s heart, enhancing its magical capacity, aiding in magical control, boosting fire attribute mastery, and increasing resistance along with basic attribute strength.
The golden light caressed the orb, etching dozens of circuits into its surface.
Imoogi's Orb (S )
A Yeouiju held by an Imoogi on the cusp of becoming a dragon.
It contains mana as vast as the ocean and is enchanted by a transcendent alchemist.
: Upon consumption, significantly enhances fire attribute magic control.
: Upon consumption, maximizes the increase in magical power.
: Upon consumption, bestows the special stat Dragon (龍).
“……”
An extraordinary item had been created.
“It’s, it’s impossible!”
The Vice Principal exclaid, her expression one of utter shock beside .
“To not only awaken the hidden abilities of the materials but also to draw out all their potential and strive for a realm beyond? Such a feat is unheard of…”
The Vice Principal gasped as she beheld the orb, her eyes brimming with admiration as she looked at .
“Truly… soone who has pioneered a new field of study.”
“Creating a special stat…”
The gazes from the Principal and the Vice Principal were almost too intense to withstand.
Honestly, I hadn’t anticipated such a successful outco, but I decided to feign a bit of arrogance.
“Well, this is nothing. Let’s quickly move on to the next item.”
“Yes!”
The Vice Principal clasped her hands and nodded eagerly. What was this, an attempt to appear endearing?
Since it was genuinely charming, I proceeded and laid my hand on the rcury.
In the end, I couldn’t fully restore the star.
The consumption rate of Conceptual Stat Alchemy was more intense than I had anticipated.
‘But the Emperor seed quite satisfied, so.’
rely by altering the heart of the Imoogi, I believed the first star had at least doubled in strength, if not more.
Since a special stat has been created, I, tired, laid my body down on the virtual reality device.
Upon connecting, I felt a strange sensation of floating and realized I had entered the virtual world.
-What, it’s over already?
The Electronic Witch, who had sohow co next to , spoke. She was in a different form than usual, about the size of a forearm.
“No, the power consumption was more severe than I thought, so I ca here for refuge.”
-…Teaching the kids of the Veritas Church is taking refuge?
The Electronic Witch looked at as if I were so broken person, then shook her head and laughed.
-Well, it’s a good choice.
Sothing felt off, but I decided to let it go.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s about ti to speak up.’
When I went to Arica, Struggle sohow found out and contacted .
-If you ever want to reveal yourself as the god of alchemy, just say the word. The entire Veritas Church will vouch for you.
I rembered the smile and the added comnt, “A new god is always welco.”
The god of alchemy.
It’s about ti to step into the lilight.
“Doesn’t this seem like so kind of cult?”
“Hey, watch your words. You could ruin your life with that kind of talk.”
“What, just because of one sentence…”
“Do you not rember when a CEO insulted Veritas and every alchemist related to that company or business went on strike? The CEO had to formally apologize and join the Veritas Church to barely stop it.”
“…Aren’t these guys just terrible?”
I heard passersby cursing.
…I was sorry.
If this was my original sin, then so be it.
Suddenly, that thought crossed my mind.
Even if I revealed myself as the god of alchemy now, wouldn’t that just encourage the Veritas Church to beco more rampant?
‘Uhm…’
I decided to put it on hold.
I beca sowhat afraid of the Veritas Church and held back my words.
