“Alright, I understand. You can continue reading.”

“Mhmm~”

Noland Lee and Denise Green ended their conversation.

It seems that “Scythehead” refers to the Soul-stealing Wizard…

Noland looked at the daydreaming Cursed Angel before him, and countless questions and doubts arose in his mind.

In order not to make the other party feel uneasy with his constant questioning, Noland decided to gently guide the conversation and gradually figure out the situation.

He picked up the floating pen and wrote on the notebook:

“Aside from me and those who bullied you, who else has seen you?”

“Many people have seen me. Some are alchemists, some are wizards like you.” The Contaminant Byproduct wrote.

So many people have seen it? How come there isn’t any news about it spreading…

Noland’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then his eyes flashed with a bit of conjecture.

He continued to write:

“Did those people who saw you bully you afterwards?”

The Cursed Angel responded via text:

“Yes. They bullied me. I turned them into monsters.”

Noland nodded slowly and wrote again:

“Are the monsters you’re referring to the Aberrations? The ones that roam the corridors.”

“Yes…”

Noland silently sighed in relief.

As expected, it was like this.

Whoever mistreated the Cursed Angel before them would be cursed by it, subsequently turning into an Aberration.

As for why Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard didn’t get cursed, Noland had some speculations in his mind.

Noland held the pen and wrote:

“Why don’t you leave the underground?”

“I cannot leave this place.” The Cursed Angel’s two black eyes filled with tears, and it cried with a grievance:

“I was sealed by an alchemy array. Can you help me?”

Noland inquired through text:

“Where is the alchemy array that sealed you?”

The Cursed Angel stretched out its arm and pointed downward:

“Right there, far, far away. You call that place the Black City.”

Noland thought for a moment:

“Are you the Nest Core of the Aberrations?”

After finishing this line, Noland couldn’t help but hold his breath. He was worried that this line would irritate the other party.

The Cursed Angel shook its head, denying this idea:

“I am not the Nest Core of the Aberrations. The Nest Core also bullied me and was turned into a monster by me.”

Noland quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the other party wasn’t the Nest Core. If a Nest Core could move outside the nest like this, it would be terrifying.

Noland wrote down a few lines:

“Can you tell me about the process of turning the Nest Core into a monster? Start from the first time you turned the Nest Core into a monster.”

The Cursed Angel nodded and continuously wrote many characters from the Golden Dynasty.

As Noland read the events presented on the notebook, his heart grew heavier and heavier.

He knew what was going on now.

Although the situation seemed complicated, as long as the meanings of “Living Alchemy Product” and “Cursed Ones” on the Aberration’s panel information were clarified, everything could be connected.

The Golden Dynasty thrived on alchemy.

At that time, no matter which alchemist faction, they all had the same goal, and that was “immortality.”

Surrounding this goal, almost all alchemist factions went to extremes, conducting cruel living alchemy experiments.

In the end, “immortality” was indeed achieved, but not completely.

The alchemist factions at the time discovered that the main obstacle to human immortality was the fragile physical body, not the soul.

Only by completely abandoning the physical body and using alchemy bodies such as alloy skeletons, anthropomorphic steam, and split magic-transformed human bodies can the alchemists achieve immortality by relying on alchemy stones and alchemy bodies.

So during the heyday of the Golden Dynasty, more than 80% of the alchemist factions had completely abandoned their physical bodies.

Of the remaining 20%, half of the factions had no strong desire for “immortality”. They believed that the normal state of life was birth, aging, sickness, and death, and they shouldn’t break the normal cycle of life.

The other half of the factions were obsessed with “fleshly immortality”, that is, achieving immortality through the physical body.

These ancient alchemists, who were intent on achieving “fleshly immortality”, created an alchemy device called a “flesh cultivation device”.

They put their souls into alchemy stones and used the “flesh cultivation device” to produce the bodies they desired. As long as the alchemy stone carrying the soul was taken out of the original body and placed in the artificially created new body, the body could be easily replaced.

In this way, changing the body became as easy as changing clothes.

As long as they continued to produce young and healthy bodies and changed them regularly, the souls of the alchemists residing in the alchemy stones could enjoy the vitality brought by their young bodies forever.

However, they didn’t stop there.

Artificially created bodies, with a high cost and frequent replacement, were far from as durable as the alchemy bodies made of alloy skeletons.%

Alchemy practitioners pursuing “fleshly immortality” began to create undying, eternally youthful fleshly bodies.

The principle of alchemy is “equivalent exchange.”

If one wants to obtain an undying, fleshly body, they must exchange something of equal value. Only then can the “=” sign in the alchemy formula be established.

What is equivalent to “undying”?

Magic beasts? Wizards? Star witches? Or other extraordinary beings?

No, none of these are suitable. No truly immortal beings have ever appeared throughout the history of this world.

Ancient alchemists discovered through meticulous research that the only thing that could be linked to “undying” was “extraterrestrial space pollution.”
