Chapter 458: Chapter 379: Alchemy Throne

Rapidly integrating Technique Spirits into the tactical system, researching Miracles more suitable for oneself, enhancing one’s own strength, then acquiring more Technique Spirits... Witches were typical of the adventure faction Mages, and progressive steps just didn’t suit them, they thrived on fighting to foster growth!

"Although my sisters can help me conceive Miracles, their thoughts are not without a source, they have to consume my Spiritual Energy. They can only think intensely for a maximum of eight hours a day before they must stop, otherwise it would lead to physical fatigue."

Diya said, "Spiritual Energy can be simply divided into thoughts, will, and emotions—three types, each with its appropriate use. For example, thoughts are best for thinking, will is more suitable for enhancing oneself. However, since it’s all Spiritual Energy, now that I have this ’Sharp Intent’ Technique Spirit, I can generate Sharp Intent for my sisters so they can think for longer periods."

Ash blinked—wait, your sisters already work eight hours a day for you, and now with the Sharp Intent Technique Spirit, they can work even longer?

Mom and Dad were right, there was a reason they said not to go into business with relatives and friends!

I can’t believe Witches are like this... Damn, when will Substitute finally generate the Wisdom to help me with creative labor!

The physical labor capacity of Substitutes already couldn’t meet the growing demands!

No wonder Witches called them sisters, if Substitutes could help me construct Miracles and think about the tactical system, I’d be willing to call them brother too!

While Ash was frustrated with the Substitute, not turning out as expected, Diya smoothly managed two Technique Spirits. Although Liss’s Magic Power was sealed in reality, preventing her from activating Technique Spirits, it was still possible to trigger the ’Sharp Intent’ Technique Spirit by finding a way to evoke Void Realm Resonance.

Actually, compared to Sharp Intent Technique Spirit, Diya cared more about the Unity Technique Spirit.

Or rather, she needed the passive effect of the Unity Technique Spirit: Mages would be more easily empathized with.

Not to mention this effect could effectively increase Liss’s popularity; Diya herself desperately needed it—perhaps because of gaining a younger sister, or perhaps due to the peril of that foggy night, Diya found that the White Queen and the others were being less accommodating and more strict with her, and these days she had no choice but to participate in the construction of Miracles.

It was already super unfair that Liss had won Ash’s affection; she couldn’t let her steal the favoritism of the White Queen and the others!

White Queen: "You’re thinking too loudly, we all heard..."

Black Butler: "To be lazy, you even compete for affection with a little girl, I can’t believe you’d do such a thing."

Diya: "I was just thinking randomly, can’t I even do that now? Don’t I have the freedom to think? You’re targeting me, you don’t love me anymore!"

Black Butler: "Really? Aren’t you just trying to be lazy?"

"No!"

"Then say sisters don’t lie to sisters."

"I’m angry now, the kind that won’t get better unless you coax me!"

"Then say sisters don’t lie to sisters."

"White Sister, look, Black Butler is still targeting me!"

"You don’t even want to say that sentence!"

"Black, calm down." Red Death Cultist intervened, "Diya just wants to continue being our sister, what’s wrong with that?"

Diya snorted; she didn’t care about her sisters’ teasing because this was all out in the open; the sisters would surely fall into line—although theoretically, empathy should result in mutual accommodation, Diya was the most willful younger sister, so it had to be them accommodating her.

Since Diya was the most willful younger sister, she still hoped her sisters could understand her feelings, hoping the sisters could... trust her once again.

.....

After Ash drained the resource point, he stretched out his hand to stop Sonia and Diya from boarding the vehicle.

"Wait a moment."

Sonia blinked in surprise, then suddenly turned back to look at the mine, "Oh right, this is a gem mine, which means..."

"We’ve finally gathered all the materials!" Ash exclaimed as he opened the sports car’s upgrade blueprint, "Upgrade, Alchemy Throne!"

The seats of the sports car began to split and reconfigure, transforming from ordinary leather seats into shimmering rose gold seats in no time. At the top of the seat was a drop of golden blood, and the surrounding backward flowing Golden Rain seemed to be drawn in, forming a golden ribbon that connected to the golden blood at the top of the seat!

"Alchemy Throne · Level 1: Increases the absorption speed of Golden Technique Power by 30%."

Ash used up all his current essences and upgraded the Alchemy Throne to level 4. The only change in the sports car was that there were now four drops of golden blood at the top of the seat.

"Alchemy Throne · Level 4: Increases the absorption speed of Golden Technique Power by 60%. Gem Essence, Crystal Essence, Mercury Essence, Wood Essence, Ore Essence, Gold Essence needed for the next level: 600."

As the most important external fitting of the sports car, the Alchemy Throne required a variety of essences, and gem mines were hard to come by. It was only after twenty days on the Time Continent and after the Heavenly Carriage Bull had run two laps that Ash finally turned on the cultivation acceleration switch.

But it was all worth it. A base 30% bonus, with each level increasing by 10%, and the sports car’s external fitting could be enhanced up to level 18, which means a 210% bonus!

Although there was still a long way to go to reach level 18, remember, Ash had been slow in gathering resources before because he didn’t have a map.

Several rare resource points were in the Star Hall Area. As long as Ash scoured each one, the Alchemy Throne would soon be upgraded!

When the Mages sat in the sports car, they immediately felt the difference between a luxury sports car and an in-app purchase sports car—the Golden Technique Power was pouring in!

With a 60% bonus, they directly gained half as much more than before. The sensitive skin could clearly feel the difference, and the child loved it!

Just as the Mages were feasting on Magic Power while driving the sports car, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"There are some Bird Dragons ahead," Ash’s words instantly made the operators tense up.

Bird Dragons, as large knowledge creatures, only appeared individually in the wild. If seen together in groups, there was only one possibility—they were part of the Heroic Soul Army’s follower troops!

There was an unknown Heroic Soul Army ahead!

Though they were still far away, Sonia instinctively lowered her voice, "Are you sure this isn’t the Spider Tower Area?"

"All I can say is that the White Bull needs at least another day’s walk to reach the Amnesia Cabin."

Actually, there was no need to be surprised; Heroic Souls Commanders were all over the Time Continent, and normal Mages encountered them just walking around, let alone driving.

The surroundings were open areas. Coupled with the tremendous pressure brought by the Empress’ Soul, Ash and the others didn’t dare to come up with bold ideas and planned to just sneak past the side.

As Ash got closer, the Void Realm Map refreshed a "Worth Visiting" area—the area surrounded by the follower troops!

Should the Void Realm Map be renamed the Deceitful Map? It’s suggesting that a few of us guerrillas walk right into the Regular Army’s encirclement?

But Ash took a closer look and discovered that there were already people inside that area—there were two yellow markers just like Ash and his group!

This meant there were two Mages inside!

Besides the two Mages, there was also a red marker representing knowledge creatures and a black marker representing an "unknown existence." Because the unknown existences on the Time Continent were either Mage projections or Heroic Souls Commanders, so...

"There are Mages attempting to kill a Heroic Souls Commander?" Ash said in shock, "Are they insane?"

Sonia reached out and touched Ash’s head, "I won’t let you talk about yourself like that."
