Almighty Alchemist

On the other side of the valley, what Gong Hao saw was a real giant made of steel.

It was a giant with a height of more than ten meters, which seemed to be as tall as a seven or eight-story building. In his left hand he holds a large shield, and in his right he holds a huge chain mallet. Gong Hao could completely imagine that when this giant swung the chain hammer, it could level the entire valley.

This steel giant is now sitting on the ground, its bare skin gleaming with metallic light, and many places outside are already rusty after long-term exposure to wind and sun.

But even so, Gong Hao can still feel the powerful force inside its body.

"This is the troll god?" Gong Hao couldn't help asking Avril.

"That's right, the only treasure of the Lance Empire, a real super weapon from the Electra era." Avril Lavigne replied equally full of reverence.

"It looks like a mountain." Gong Hao's tone was full of admiration.

"The important thing is that it has extraordinary power, and it can use at least a dozen kinds of powerful spells. Ordinary damage has no effect on it. Just one such troll god can destroy a city. Can you imagine? In Electra's era, he created hundreds of such troll gods."

"How did you get it?"

"Oh, even heroes fall. In the war between humans and the troll gods, some troll gods were destroyed. They became trophies and were dragged back to their respective countries, and the alchemists of various countries researched and produced them. Unfortunately, no one has ever been able to reproduce it."

Saying that, Avril looked back at Gong Hao: "Xiuyi, do you want to see it? I just heard that the Troll God is behind the valley, and Hines has been researching it. He has cracked the secret of making it, but he hasn't cracked the secret of using it. I heard that to activate the Troll God requires a very special method, and this method is the same as the flesh and blood puppet."

"Soul Orb?" Gong Hao called out.

"That's right. But the troll god has higher requirements. And in the body of this troll god, there is such a forming magic bead. I think if you take a look, it may be helpful to you."

"Why didn't Master Hines get help from that?"

"Because that magic bead is the only one, and it has been severely damaged. Before he is absolutely sure, he dare not use any method that may destroy it to study it. Hines hopes that he can first crack the secret of the flesh puppet, and then move that thing when he is sure."

"Oh, if that's the case, in case I accidentally break it..."

"Just take a look, right?" Avril said to Gong Hao, she even leaned into Gong Hao's ear and whispered: "I can help you, if you really have to accidentally break it, then say I did it. Don't worry, Hines doesn't dare to do anything to me, and I don't like this old man. He's too rude to me, he won't even come to pick me up. Hmph!"

Gong Hao smiled bitterly, it seems that Avril's tenderness is only aimed at herself at the moment, she is still high above others, still arrogant, and still thinks that everyone should kneel to her.

———————————

Gently approaching this big guy, stroking the icy metal body, Gong Hao noticed that there were countless scratches left on its body.

On its left arm, there was a huge gash that cut straight down from the joint.

But the most serious injury was in the chest. There was a large depression there, which seemed to have been hit by some heavy object, and there were burn marks around it.

Through these wounds, Gong Hao clearly saw that the material used to build the troll god is made of the hardest metal, fine gold.

"It looks like it suffered a lot of injuries, it was defeated by the siege." Gong Hao murmured.

"Unless they are killed, the troll gods will not be defeated. Of course, there is another way to destroy them, which is to destroy their core." Avril said. She climbed onto the big thing and opened a small window through its sunken chest.

Gong Hao saw that there was a red bead inside.

A mist-like thing diffused in the bead, changing into various shapes from time to time.

"Is this the core of the troll god? It does look somewhat similar to the core of the flesh and blood puppet, but it is much larger."

As Gong Hao said, he reached in and took out the core that was as big as a fist.

The top of this soul magic bead is already covered with cracks, and the smoke in the magic bead seems to be able to escape through these cracks, but for some reason it has always remained in the bead.

"I heard that when I first got it, this engraved bead was full of soul power, but as time went by, the soul energy gradually disappeared. Now there are not many of them, and maybe it won't be long before they will completely dissipate." Avril Lavigne said.

"So, Electra uses this thing to control the trolls?"

"Yes, but Hines doesn't know how to do this. It seems that these soul energies are very violent. They are definitely not human souls. They are stronger and more difficult to control. I heard that when Grandpa handed it to Hines for the first time, Hines tried to absorb part of the soul energy to find the secret of making and controlling the troll god, but he was almost killed by the powerful soul impact in the bead." Avril Lavigne said this, with a look of fear on her face. She looked at Gong Hao: "Let's put it back, maybe I shouldn't think it can help you."

"No, Avril, let me look at it again." Gong Hao insisted.

He stared at the blood-colored orb, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when he resonated with the wind element in the jungle.

For soul spells, he has never done any research. What exactly is a soul? Why do humans have souls? He couldn't tell either. But at this moment, the wonderful sense of fit created when he resonated with the element of wind suddenly rose in his heart.

He felt that he could completely resonate with the soul in the bead.

Not absorption, just resonance.

As for the consequences? He didn't know, but he couldn't wait to find out what that meant.

He stared at the bead, and the turbulent smoke in the bead, and suddenly, a cold air rose from the bottom of his heart.

The smoke in the bead danced wildly like boiling, puffing smoke, part of the soul energy began to escape from the cracks, and burrowed into Gong Hao's body like little black snakes...

"No, Xiu Yi, put it down!" Avril Lavigne yelled.

"Ah!" Gong Hao cried out in pain.

In the next moment, Gong Hao seemed to be dragged back to the era of iron horses and swords hundreds of years ago. The howls of countless warriors colliding rang in his ears. Hundreds of huge demon puppets were criss-crossing the battlefield, wielding huge chain hammers, sweeping across the area with every attack.

There was blood everywhere, and there was a dark, blood-colored sky in front of him.

The rumbling drums were beating, and countless brave men were shouting.

Various mechanical monsters are flying in the sky, and people are screaming and killing everywhere on the ground.

The warriors died one after another, and the troll legion strode over the human corpses, striding towards the direction of victory.

In the center of the battlefield, he saw a person, an indifferent person wearing an alchemist's robe, standing on top of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, surrounded by countless puppet warriors of all kinds, including all kinds of mechanical raptors flying in the sky.

Opposite him, hundreds of great magisters called to the sky at the same time.

One after another, meteorites streaked across the sky like meteors, fell to the earth, and hit the person wearing the alchemist's robe.

The man in the robe just raised his right hand, and a mass of white light burst out from his palm, forming a huge magic shield, which blocked all the falling meteorites at the periphery.

However, there were still a few meteors falling on the periphery of the white magic hood, and several demon puppets were hit by meteorites, turning into a ball of raging flames at the same time as the human warriors attacking it.

He saw that there was a meteorite burning with fierce flames and smashed towards him.

Gong Hao couldn't restrain himself any longer, and let out a strong roar.

The next moment, he saw a warrior jumping high in front of him, a bright light flashed on the sharp long sword, and he slashed at himself...

—————————

"No!" Gong Hao roared.

"Hui, Xiu! Are you okay!" Avril was shaking him frantically beside him.

She saw that Gong Hao's eyes turned blood red, and it took a while before they gradually returned to normal.

Gong Hao gasped heavily.

He finally walked out of that nightmarish battlefield of hell.

"I'm fine, Avril." He was sweating by now.

"Oh my god, what the hell did you do? Why did all this soul energy suddenly rush out?" Avril Lavigne asked him in horror.

"I don't know." Gong Hao shook his head: "I just tried to establish a resonance relationship with it, just like establishing resonance with other magical elements, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction."

The soul energy drilled into Gong Hao's body shrank back into the dharma bead, and the soul energy in the dharma bead regained its calm at this moment, as if everything just now had never happened.

Gong Hao hurriedly put the bead back.

"Let's go, Avril, I don't want Master Hines to know about this. I don't think he will be happy."

"Okay, Huey, but you want to tell me what happened just now?"

"War." Gong Hao replied: "I saw everything this troll god saw last. Humans launched a large-scale forbidden spell and summoned a large number of meteorites to attack the demon god army. This troll god was destroyed at that time. But it was not completely destroyed, and its soul energy still recorded that war."

"That doesn't sound like any help to you."

"No, Avril, in fact it was very helpful to me...it gave me an answer." Gong Hao replied very seriously.

"Thank you, Avril Lavigne," he said. He gently put his arms around the little princess' waist.

Avril's face was flushed, and she suddenly felt her heart beating faster.

Oh my god, why is my face burning? Why is my breathing becoming short of breath? Why do I feel like the world is spinning?

I no longer know where I am.
