Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Demonic Nature

As time passed, the Magic Energy Liquid in the pool gradually became transparent. The originally dense blue glow had slowly started to dim.

"Detect the components of the culture liquid, replenish missing elements."

After calculating the rate of liquid reduction in his mind, Anvis issued a new directive to Silver.

"Command accepted... Task established, beginning element replenishment—"

With Silver’s voice, on one side of the Magic Energy Transformation Pool, a huge silver-white mechanical structure began to operate. Two thick metal pipes with special traits activated themselves, extending over the Magic Energy Transformation Pool.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

As the element replenishment device operated, a number of pre-mixed Curse Ores and high-quality Demon Crystals surged out from the pipes, tracing a long arc through the air before falling into the Magic Energy Transformation Pool.

At the same time, the injection port on the side of the Magic Energy Pool opened once more, and a portion of the new Conversion Liquid was injected into the pool.

With the continuous input of various resources, the dense liquid in the pool quickly returned to its original level, and the glow of the fluorescence was restored to its initial brightness.

After setting the amount of raw materials to be replenished each time and the interval between supplies, Anvis no longer paid attention to the changes in the Magic Energy Pool.

According to the records on the metal plate, the transformation time of the Curse Plutonium Dragon ranged from two to four months.

In the short term, there would be no results.

During this period, all he needed to do was check the transformation progress every seven days and replenish new Curse Ores and high-quality Demon Crystals.

Having dealt with one of the two projects, Anvis left the Magic Energy Transformation Pool and walked over to the experiment table, ready to embark on another one of his planned tasks.

— In-depth research into the traits of Curse Metal.

At Anvis’s request, all of the Cursed Lands not circled on the map have been taken over by the Olivendi Family.

Within half a month, Anvis had secretly taken control of a total of sixty-seven Cursed Lands.

This included seven large Cursed Lands, twenty-six mid-sized Cursed Lands, and thirty-four small Cursed Lands.

Although this action was significant, it did not cause much disturbance to the upper echelons of the Empire.

After all, what the Olivendi Family had purchased were mostly just the publicly known Curse Ore mines within the Empire.

And Curse Ore is not a resource with a large demand. Even if the Olivendi Family were to stop selling a single ore externally,

the major powers all have their own private mines and are completely unfazed by this monopolistic behavior.

— Indeed, the outside world still generally believes that the purchase of these Cursed Lands was a decision made by the higher-ups of the Olivendi Family.

Some have already begun to investigate in secret the reason why the Olivendi Family suddenly decided to get involved in the trade of Curse Ore.

Nobody guessed that the Olivendi Family’s sudden large-scale acquisition of Cursed Lands was entirely due to Anvis’s personal plan.

On the metal experiment table, eight small samples of Curse Metals in various colors were neatly arranged in front of Anvis. Each one came with corresponding data and the location of its origin.

These were all the Curse Metals that could be produced from the Cursed Lands that Anvis had purchased.

Included were Low Rank Black Pattern Copper, Gray Iron; Mid Rank Blood Curse Steel, Black Edged Copper, Star Blue Silver, Blood Silver; and High Rank Green Radiant Demon Gold and Lakensham Metal.

After being purified by high-end magic separation equipment, the purity of these Curse Metal samples was incredibly close to 100%.

This is the advantage of having a background; there’s no need to do everything personally, just control the critical links.

Just standing beside these samples, Anvis could feel a faint tingling sensation on the skin’s surface, an effect of the curse field emanating from the metals.

However, Anvis didn’t care about it.

Even though there were two types of high rank curse metals present, the curse fields they emitted were not very strong due to the small size of the radiating sources.

For his constitution, which was now comparable to a fourth rank Magic Beast, this was nothing but a breeze brushing against his face.

Nevertheless, Anvis was well aware that simply relying on these curse metals would not unlock the quality energy conversion weapons.

The reason was simple. If piling up any of these curse metals could trigger fission, then this chain reaction would have been discovered by the people of this world a long time ago.

Although not many, there were still people who used curse metals to make weapons, and some high rank war profession systems were particularly fond of them.

Having crammed knowledge about quality energy conversion weapons in the week before his transmigration, Anvis knew that the curse metals extracted directly from the ores could not be used as is.

According to his judgment, the key ingredient needed for the quality energy conversion weapons was not the curse metals extracted directly from ores but a rare isotope within the curse metals.

In the Blue Star’s natural world, uranium metal is composed of three radioactive isotopes: uranium-234, uranium-235, and uranium-238.

Yet, no matter how much of this mixture is piled up, it cannot trigger a chain reaction.

In this world, things have become more complicated.

Due to the existence of magic power, metal ores have been tainted with various alien powers, resulting in a plethora of demonized metals beyond their original forms.

The series of curse metals before Anvis were mostly such demonized products, adding further complications to his research.

It is well known that a different basic environment implies different applicable physical laws.

For example, classical physical rules do not apply in an infinitely microscopic environment.

And now, with the addition of magic power as a factor, the physical rules from a world without magic, when applied here, are likely to deviate significantly.

In his past life, there was no discipline such as Magic Material Science.

Luckily, if one disregards the principles, merely manufacturing a quality energy conversion weapon doesn’t actually require a physicist.

One only needs to gather the extracted single element together and observe which one will eventually cause a chain reaction.

Contemplating his experimental plan, Anvis approached the center of the laboratory, in front of a huge silver-white pyramid-shaped device.

With a thought, a thread of spiritual power was infused into the authorization rune at the top of the pyramid.

"Manager authorization confirmed, High Level Element Stripping Device activated—"

Accompanied by the synthesized female voice of Silver, one side of the Silver Pyramid slightly lit up.

The magic runes scattered on its surface emitted a faint blue radiance, and the originally silver metal substrate suddenly became transparent.

Through this side, Anvis could even see a swirling silver ’mist’ inside the ’pyramid’, seemingly in eternal rotation.

That was the core of the Element Stripping Device, a constant Eighth Rank transformation array in three dimensions—[Material Decomposition]

Manipulating the eight pieces of curse metal in his hands, Anvis carefully inserted them into different positions of the ’pyramid’ through its transparent side, each position aligning perfectly with a rune.
