Chapter 1 Before Fulfilling the God-Demon Contract

Before Suren came to fulfill the God-Demon Contract, he never thought he could integrate the special Mechanical Alchemist [Isaac the God-Slayer].

After all, he had already accessed all kinds of top-level resources in the Alchemy Plane, but he didn't think he had any hope of successfully integrating it.

Unexpectedly, by chance, he came to the ancestral mausoleum plane of the Tarris civilization and found the opportunity for integration.

Even now that the integration has been successful, and he clearly feels the indescribable dark rule power brought by this god-tier Mechanical Alchemist, he still feels like he is in a dream.

"Did I really integrate it successfully?"

"Really!"

Suren felt the feeling brought by the integration and was shocked in his heart: "This is the 'power of dark rules'... specially designed to counter divine power. Sir Isaac's talent is truly unparalleled!"

Unlike observing from the sidelines before, now that he has integrated the Mechanical Alchemist into his body, he clearly perceives the existence of "dark rules."

This is an unknown field that no one has ever observed in countless years.

Suren found it difficult to describe his thoughts at this moment. This Mechanical Alchemist opened the door to a new world for him, and his understanding suddenly became clear.

It was as if he had previously perceived a world with his five senses in the light.

But now, he has discovered the darkness.

"I cannot see in the dark, but the night is not empty."

"I have a new understanding, this is the 'dark world'!"

This is an unknown field as vast as the bright universe he previously knew.

Suren realized that dark matter existed in his world.

This is a mysterious field that countless talented alchemists have never touched in countless years.

"No!"

Even some low-level gods cannot touch it... a field pointing to the secrets of the origin of the universe!

At this moment, he felt like when he first integrated job-change materials to become an extraordinary professional, a brand-new world was opening, and everything felt new.

This is just the beginning, and it will take too much time to digest and understand in the future.

Suren was not in a hurry.

Whether he understands it or not doesn't matter for the time being. The significance of the Mechanical Alchemist is that he can now use the power of "dark rules" to annihilate everything.

The reason this Mechanical Alchemist is called [God-Slayer] is because it can kill god-tier beings!

This also means that the dog-headed mummy in the underground palace is not necessarily a dead end for the current Suren.

...

Inside the burial shroud, Suren completed the integration of the Mechanical Alchemist and finally had some confidence in leaving alive.

But he still didn't act rashly.

"Now is not the time."

In the past few days, countless rats have poured into the underground palace. They keep rushing into the god's tomb under the altar, gnawing at the bronze lamp.

Suren looked at the increasingly faint runes on the bronze lamp and knew that the demon god was about to escape.

Before the demon god Apophis escapes, it's best to stay where he is and do nothing.

Don't underestimate this demon god just because he's trapped. With his ability to control endless rat hordes to break out of prison, it's still easy to crush a human to death.

Moreover, Suren didn't want to reveal too much.

High-level demon gods don't bother to pry into the secrets of low-level creatures, but that doesn't mean they won't have any thoughts if he exposes himself.

He has too many secrets. If this demon god knows that humans can master "dark rules," something unexpected might happen.

It's good to use this time to digest the changes brought to his body after integrating the Mechanical Alchemist.

Suren's physical fitness was actually a long way from integrating the Mechanical Alchemist before. He forcibly devoured a lot of dragon blood to raise his various attributes to a very high value before integrating the Mechanical Alchemist. Just like the effect of steroids cannot last forever, his current state is very dangerous.

He needs time to make up for it.

However, after he absorbed that wisp of divine power mist.

The demon god naturally noticed it immediately.

He seemed to be interested again. Suren heard a whisper-like murmur in his ear: "Tsk, tsk, interesting... Absorbed so much divine power, and a human didn't explode? You're quite clever. You actually discovered a way to absorb divine power to avoid triggering the mausoleum's extermination restrictions in such a short time..."

Listening to this, Suren once again used divine swindler rhetoric, humbly saying: "Great Lord Apophis, in your presence, this is such a clumsy, insignificant skill."

This rhetoric was fine, and the demon god Apophis seemed very satisfied listening to it.

But he then said: "Human, you are already quite good. At least you are more special than the other low-level creatures I have recruited in tens of thousands of years. Oh, I almost forgot, there is a secret method of 'equivalent exchange' among alchemists that can indeed eliminate alien divine power. Tsk, tsk, back in the Dawn Era, when the Five God-Kings of the Twilight Crusades shook the heavens, this secret method was forbidden throughout the heavens..."

Suren was slightly shocked when he heard this.

The Dawn Era was indeed the highlight of the Alchemy Plane. But because of the interruption of civilization, the timeline is uncertain. Suren estimated that it was at least hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"This demon god, could it have lived for hundreds of thousands of years?"

"How powerful would he be?"

Fortunately, judging from the tone, this demon god does not harbor hostility towards the Alchemy civilization.

Suren said again: "Great Lord Apophis, in your presence, no secret in the world can escape your wise eyes."

Apophis seemed to be in a good mood. He was happy to say a few more words to a human: "In another half-day, I will be able to escape. Human, after all, it is because of you that I can break free from this prison that has trapped me for tens of thousands of years. As a reward, the great Lord Apophis allows you to ask one question."

Suren was also looking forward to hearing this.

A powerful high-level demon god, it can be said that any question in his knowledge can be solved by this one!

This reward is not light.

Suren pondered for a moment, thought of something, and asked: "Um... Lord Apophis, I have a question to ask you."

Apophis: "Oh?"

Suren said: "For some reasons, my plane is being invaded by another plane. Do you have a way to close the plane channel?"

Since the other party could summon him, he might know about the existence of the Alchemy Plane. There was no point in hiding it.

Apophis was also slightly surprised when he heard this: "A plane channel? Tsk, tsk, this is a channel that only very powerful civilizations can build. Oh, I almost forgot, the Alchemy Plane was a main god plane back then, but it was shattered later... You should be on one of the fragments, right?"

As if he had been locked up for too long, his words were a little rambling.

He said, already understanding everything, and then said: "But... are you sure you want to ask me this question? You only have one chance. I think you can ask a question of higher value. For example, how to condense a godhead? After all, you should have this doubt at your current level. And the god-tier in the Alchemy civilization is not so easy to enter."

Suren thought about it and said: "Yes. Great God of Darkness and Destruction, I am sure that I need the answer to this question."

Although the road to becoming a god is full of temptations, he felt that some beliefs were more important.

Hearing this, Apophis said: "Foolish, short-sighted human, you don't know what a good opportunity you have missed."

This tone sounded like sarcasm, but it didn't make people hear the meaning of ridicule.

Instead. He directly responded: "Once a plane channel is opened, it must be closed simultaneously on both sides to be completely closed. It seems that your plane cannot do it yet. Usually, powerful civilizations will not take the initiative to close the plane channel, and the weaker party has no ability to close it. Heh heh..."

His tone was full of contempt for low-level creatures from a superior being.

...

Suren's mood instantly became heavy when he heard this.

Without solving the problem of the plane channel, the Alchemy Plane will be lost sooner or later.

But if even a high-level god and demon can't do it, then there's really no way.

However, since he asked, the omniscient and omnipotent god would naturally not say that it couldn't be done.

Apophis obviously had a way. He said a meaningful proverb: "When I was very young, my clan had a proverb: If you find that thieves often cross the small river behind the garden to steal the roses in the garden, then sprinkle some broken glass in the river."

Suren instantly understood when he heard this and vaguely guessed something: "Are you saying...?"

Apophis said directly: "The most important thing about a plane channel is stability and security. If you have the ability, collect some void fragments and throw them into the plane channel. That will be a nightmare for travelers, and it will be very troublesome and costly to clean up. If there are enough fragments, even god-tier beings risk falling, then they will carefully choose whether to pass through the plane channel."

"!!!"

Suren was immediately excited when he heard this.

This is really a solution!

Since it is impossible to close the channel, then make it unsafe. In this way, the number of people passing through will be greatly reduced.

Especially gods, most likely would not risk falling to invade some alien plane. They would probably let their believers die.

If it can really prevent the god-tier beings from the Celestial Plane from descending, then the war of plane invasion can still be fought!

Apophis said a few words and seemed to lose interest. He finally said: "I will pass on a space secret method to you, which can make the void fragments more difficult to clean up. Whether you can use it or not depends on yourself."

"Thank you, Supreme Lord of Destruction!" Suren replied quickly.

As soon as these words were spoken, he immediately felt a secret method coming from his mind - [Divine Art - Shattered Star]!

It is very difficult to build a space channel, but it is much less costly to do some minor damage.

This secret method is purely bad to the core.

Exploding the space fragments into some glass-like small fragments and scattering them in the plane channel like stars in the sky will make people spend tens of millions of times the cost to clean them up.

Moreover, this is itself a very strong attack divine art.

It is really impossible to use it below the general god-tier, but Suren can.

He has the [Ouroboros Time-Space Ring] in his hand, and there is no problem in using this technique at all.

Sure enough, the risks in high-level planes are great, but there are also too many opportunities!

He had discussed it with Mr. Mirror and others countless times before and had already come to the conclusion that the matter of the plane channel was almost a dead end.

Unexpectedly, coming to the Desert Plane, he not only successfully integrated the [God-Slayer], but also found a way to solve the space channel!

...

Apophis just gave a few pointers when he was in the mood. After saying a few words, he was no longer interested in talking to this human.

In the empty underground palace, only the rustling sound of countless rats crawling over the floor and then being burned to ashes remained.

Suren did not take an inch and quietly digested his gains.

As the demon god said, after half a day, countless rats had gnawed away the runes on the bronze lamp.

Suddenly, there was a "crack" sound, like the sound of some metal breaking.

Suren sensed something and suddenly looked towards the sealed underground palace.

There were dozens of soul lamps emitting green light on both sides of the divine path before, but now, the third bronze lamp on the left side of the entrance was extinguished?

Suren realized that the demon god had escaped.

However, in the next moment, a terrifying will descended on the entire underground palace.

Suren looked at the extinguished bronze lamp, where the darkness twisted into a human form.

"Not good!"

A never-before-seen horror rose in his heart. Even wrapped in the burial shroud, he felt an indescribable terror.

Even with the emotion of fear stripped away, there was a kind of tremor originating from the depths of his soul.

Even in the All-Knowing Eyes, what he saw was a twisted darkness and threads of destruction rules. It was as if there was no existence there, but it was itself a part of the universe.

Suren had never seen such a terrifying existence and quickly closed his eyes.

Unspeakable, indescribable, unseeable...

This is a true high-level demon god!

Immediately, unrestrained laughter came from his ears: "Hahahaha, this seat is finally free..."

After being trapped for tens of thousands of years, even a high-level god and demon could not hide his joy.

Suren was so shocked by the truly terrifying aura that he couldn't speak. He felt that he was like a speck of dust at this moment. If the other party sneezed, he would immediately be reduced to ashes.

And obviously, Apophis did not forget that there was a human who helped him escape.

As a high-level god and demon, he could see through the cause and effect of the universe's destiny even more.

Even if it is an insect, if it has a beneficial cause and effect relationship with its own destiny, it should be rewarded.

Destiny is magical and full of unknowns.

No one can be sure whether the insect flapping its wings will form a hurricane.

What's more, it's just a casual act.

He said: "Human, I know you have the ability to escape. There is a passage under the gap in the southeast of the mausoleum. It was once a secret escape passage left by the dwarven divine craftsman who built this mausoleum for himself. Only by going there will you not be stopped by the Tarris clan. As soon as I leave, high-level gods from the Tarris Plane will definitely descend, and they will descend on this plane in at most one hour. Take care."

Suren didn't know that the demon god was guiding him. He was flattered and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, God of Darkness and Destruction, Great Lord of Chaos, Supreme Lord of Destruction, Lord Apophis, for your guidance!"

Although the [Ouroboros Time-Space Ring] allowed him to teleport out of the mausoleum, he would inevitably encounter the encirclement and interception of the Tarris clan after going out.

It would be great to have this secret passage.

And he also knew that there was probably an hour of safety.

Apophis: "You're not bad. Divination tells me that the lower planes cannot trap you. I hope that one day, I will have the opportunity to see you in the domain of the gods. Let me give you one more sentence. If there is only the sun and no darkness in the world, then light will no longer be justice, and the world will become a terrifying purgatory."

Suren didn't have time to think about the deep meaning of these words and responded: "Thank you, Lord!"

However, before he finished speaking, the terrifying will had disappeared completely.

Suren also knew that the demon god had left the underground palace.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a reminder suddenly came from his ear: "By the way, don't touch those coffins. Otherwise, the old guys of the Tarris clan will not hesitate to take their last breath and crawl out to kill you."

Suren's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this.

The demon god was not only powerful, but also foresaw his idea of searching the secret passage?

"However... crawl out?"

"Are there still living beings in those coffins?"

These words completely cut off Suren's idea of paying attention to those coffins.

After waiting for a while, the underground palace was silent, and even the rats had disappeared.

This time, the demon god Apophis really left.

...

Suren thought of what an old cowboy once said in Lindon: "From a certain point of view, making a deal with a demon is very fair. At least if you pay, he will definitely give you an equal reward."

Although this trip to fulfill the contract was fraught with danger, the demon god was indeed very generous.

Although he only gave a few casual pointers, they were all crucial.

Suren restrained his thoughts and looked at the empty hall. He naturally wanted to leave.

But before leaving, there was still a little time, and he could consider taking some local specialties of the Tarris race.

A grain of rice dropped by a god might be food that ants can eat to their fill.

Things that high-level gods and demons don't like may be treasures to a human like him.

But before that...

There is still a little trouble to solve.

Suren looked at the mummy corpse that had condensed the godhead in the distance.

At this time, he slowly took off a little of the burial shroud wrapped around his body, revealing a little aura.

"It really worked!" Suren was overjoyed.

These days, he had absorbed a lot of turbid divine power in the underground palace, and he had also been contaminated with the aura of those Tarris gods. As expected, he did not trigger the mummy's killing mechanism.

When he completely removed the burial shroud, the mummy seemed to feel something, moved slightly, but was not sure what it was and did not attack.

Suren also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Temporarily safe."

At this moment, the huge underground palace was full of gray and white mist, and it was also filled with the strange smell of hundreds of millions of rats being burned before.

Crow Master had split into hundreds of crows, greedily devouring the rich death energy here, and also sharing the vision.

Suren walked carefully in the underground palace.

He had almost emptied all the items on this floor before, and there was nothing to see.

His goal was the mysterious space under the altar.

Although Apophis had reminded him not to pay attention to the god-tier coffins, Suren was not wrong. In addition to the coffins, there were many other things in the underground palace.

As soon as he walked over, he first saw the golden [Key of Eternal Life] inlaid on the ground.

"Good stuff..."

Suren thought that he must take it away when he leaves.

This key still retains a lot of pure life energy, enough for people to be resurrected.

As for the faith divine power needed to activate the divine rune, Pandora has it!

With this thing, it is simply an extra life out of thin air.

The underground palace will probably close after taking it down. Suren was not in a hurry and looked at the underground palace.

The feeling of coldness in the soul became clearer as he got closer.

The green light of the soul lamps illuminated the colorful coffins, and more places were pitch black.

He identified too many unknowns, and Suren didn't dare to go in. He stood at the door.

There were not many things that could move in this glance.

The All-Knowing Eyes were full of "***", but he also understood that this underground was a super-large magic circle. It was centered on the crystal obelisk and connected the coffins and various god-tier restrictions.

They are all god-tier treasures, and their value is immeasurable.

But there was nothing that he dared to move.

However, when Suren's eyes landed on the ground, he found a surprise.

After the soul lamp burned, it dripped into the box and condensed into a pool of amber crystals like corpse oil.

After identifying it, it was something he recognized from the pharaoh's memory he had harvested before.

[Flawless Divine Fetus]

Detailed explanation: The original embryo condensed by pure divine power, used by the Tarris clan to carry the soul; it has super plasticity and can be bred into various biological forms;

"This [Flawless Divine Fetus] is actually refined from the soul lamps of the gods?"

Suren suddenly realized.

The Tarris clan has always had the legend of the "God Chosen".

It is said that every few decades, a God Chosen with outstanding talent and destined to become a demigod will appear in the Celestial Plane.

They guide believers and spread faith.

The Tarris civilization is so powerful and has a continuous inheritance, which is directly related to the God Chosen!

Suren had previously thought that the god's followers were just talented people selected by the gods. Seeing this divine fetus, he immediately realized that this might be the source of the Tarris clan's "God Chosen" and might also have a great relationship with the resurrection secret technique.

However, he was not interested in caring about any God Chosen. In the eyes of alchemists, this is just material!

"It's actually this kind of god-tier material..."

Suren's eyes were burning as he looked at it.

This [Divine Fetus] is little known in the alchemy field, but he happens to know it.

Because this material also has a special use, which is to create alchemy homunculi!

After reading various notes before, he knew that Pandora's body was made of this material.

A thousand years ago, Sir Isaac and his wife did not know where they found such a [Divine Fetus] and then created Pandora.

Suren has completely mastered the technology of making homunculi, but he still lacks suitable main materials.

Unexpectedly, he encountered it here.

"Hey, now the material for that girl Pestoia's body is available."

Suren's mind turned and immediately became active.

Because the [Divine Fetus] is a crystal of divine power corpse oil, it does not involve any magic pattern restrictions, and taking it away will not affect the coffins.

He thought that taking a little should not be a big problem.

Suren observed it again and found that there was really nothing else to take away.

He didn't dare to go in himself and called Crow Master to hold the silk thread and tie it to the two [Divine Fetuses] closest to the door.

He wanted to take a few more pieces with him, but at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

A fierce killing intent rushed from behind like a tsunami!

Since Suren chose to steal treasures, he was naturally prepared.

His eyes narrowed, and he already punched back to block.

At the same time, he suddenly realized in his heart: "Does having the intention to steal a tomb also immediately trigger the dog-headed mummy's killing mechanism?"

It wasn't particularly surprising.

But he was also glad that he had already collected millions of coffins and mummies in advance. Otherwise, he would not be able to get anything now.

In just a flash of lightning, the dog-headed mummy had already appeared in front of him, and a fist surrounded by a rule field was rushing towards his face, and Suren also felt his scalp tingle.

Three days ago, this punch blasted the barbarian Ralph with demigod combat power.

If this punch was exchanged for any demigod, they would probably die on the spot!

However, Suren had already unlocked the [God-Eater] Mechanical Alchemist, and his fist was also surrounded by a layer of invisible energy, and he punched out without any hesitation.

The two's fists touched, and a magical scene happened.

The scene that should have been bloody and fleshy was not seen.

Instead, the destructive power at the rule level erupted on the mummy's fist, and it was actually neutralized and annihilated by some energy, disappearing completely.

Suren felt that the mummy's fist was just a little stronger, and there was no destructive power at the rule level at all.

"It really blocked it!"

Although he was knocked out, Suren was overjoyed.

Being able to withstand this god-tier mummy's attack also means that this mummy is not a fatal threat to him!

It also means that he has a real means to fight against the god-tier.

Suren flew out and simply took advantage of this force to pull, and with the traction of several silk threads, the two [Divine Fetuses] in the underground palace flew out.

He flashed over and put them into the storage space.

The treasure is also in hand!

However, at this time, the mummy reappeared and punched out again, and Suren flew out again.

Without the fatal threat, as long as he spends some time, Suren feels that he may not be able to kill this god-tier dog-headed mummy.

After all, this mummy has a godhead, which is also a treasure!

However, having just integrated the Mechanical Alchemist, his control of the completely unfamiliar power of "dark rules" is not perfect, and the risk of mutual loss is not small.

Moreover, this is the mausoleum of the Tarris clan, and it is not suitable for a long battle.

He knew that he could not take down this dog-headed mummy in a short time, and the risk of stealing treasures would become greater and greater.

When it is time to be greedy, you must be greedy.

When it is time to retreat, you must be decisive.

Suren flew out and decisively pulled the silk thread again.

With a "crack" sound, the [Key of Eternal Life] inlaid on the altar was also pulled out.

At this time, the entire underground palace followed with

a creaking sound, as if it had touched some restriction.

Suren didn't intend to be greedy again. The moment he got the key, he turned around and teleported towards the tomb passage in the southeast of the underground palace.

Although the mummy's speed was fast, Suren was determined to escape. In this underground palace, which is full of indestructible Asgardian stones, it is not so easy to catch up.

"Boom", "boom", "boom"... After breaking through several walls, Suren successfully got rid of the mummy and plunged into the space crack.
