In the underground treasure chamber of the Anzhi Imperial Palace.
Sun Fei grumbled in dissatisfaction, but still had to keep a smile on his face.
His King was highly focused. Whenever he heard Uncle Cain or the nun say something like "Magic is needed here" or "Magic is not needed here," he would eagerly control his [ Magic-Forbidden Domain ] to create experimental conditions for the two magic research fanatics. He was practically like the lowest-ranking servant in a laboratory, being ordered around and served tea and water.
Three hours ago, Sun Fei returned to the underground treasure room, but unexpectedly, instead of being berated and reprimanded by the two old monsters, he was forced to work as a temporary laborer, using the [ Magic-Forbidden Domain ] to continuously create a magical vacuum space, providing the necessary conditions for their experiments.
"Hehe, don't look so reluctant," Uncle Cain said lewdly, "Actually, this is not only beneficial to our experiments, but it can also help you improve your control over the power of the domain. It's a win-win situation!"
Sun Fei admitted to this.
After three hours of practice, he was now able to skillfully control the power of his domain. He could freely expand or shrink the domain space, from a radius of one kilometer to the size of a palm. This was a way of controlling the domain that Sun Fei had never realized before, and it might have unexpected effects in battle.
Thanks to Sun Fei's [ Magic-Forbidden Domain ], many experiments accumulated by the [ Madman's Laboratory ] that were theoretically feasible but impossible to conduct in the real world due to the lack of magical vacuum conditions can now be carried out with confidence. The research work of the two magic research fanatics has made leaps and bounds.
"Haha, it's done! It's done!"
Sister Akara, unable to maintain her composure, burst into unrestrained laughter, gesturing wildly as she held a piece of Mithril armor in her hand.
"I finally made it! Haha, I know what's going on now. The inverse of Thomas Magic Matrix, plus 135 microscopic-level leaf-shaped magic circuits, and the blood sacrifice of soul magic—that's how this life fluctuation came about..."
"You mean infusing a tiny amount of life force into a blood sacrifice using soul magic? Ah, I see, so that's how it works. There's a similar use in the Divine Runes Kyle's Path, but 135 leaf-shaped circuits won't work; their capacity is limited. If we replace them with 720 pulse-shaped dive circuits, an inverse matrix, this time I'll have the most perfect improvement! Hahaha!"
It seemed there had been a major breakthrough, which drove both the nun and Uncle Cain into a frenzy.
Sun Fei broke out in a cold sweat, a black line appearing on his forehead. The professional jargon spewing from the mouths of the two madmen gave His King a disorienting feeling, as if he had returned to his university days in his previous life, sitting in the last row of the classroom, listening to his Hunan-accented calculus teacher explaining linear algebra.
Meanwhile, several college students nearby had their eyes shining and were eagerly taking notes, so they must have understood quite a bit.
On the other side, Hasselbaink, the Necromancer who had broken six ribs and suffered comminuted fractures in both legs during the day, was also in a state of disarray. Although he had fully recovered, his gaze towards Sun Fei was still filled with resentment. Was he kidding? As the last remaining elder of the [ Undead Temple ], a powerful expert at the Venerable Rank Great Perfection the Blazing Sun Class Venerable, he had almost been killed by a fall. If word got out, it would make all the martial artists on the continent laugh.
"Haha, quick, quick, where's that unlucky guy called Darkness Demon Armor? Take his thigh off for me, I want to have a good look at him..." The nun was still in a state of frenzied rage.
"Despicable humans, you are blaspheming! You are too arrogant... Hey, wait a minute, don't do it yet... Hey, let's talk this out... Give me some face... Hey, you little brats, my thigh... Go easy, hey, that's too violent!"
The pitiful Dark Demon Armor has long since lost its former glory.
The college students didn't care about its sealed power or its threat. They skillfully dismantled its leg components in a few moves and gave it a good look of contempt.
Sun Fei noticed that this Dark Demon Armor was becoming increasingly human-like lately. If it weren't already confirmed that it was indeed just a war puppet, he would have really thought that someone was actually wearing a suit of armor and playing tricks.
With Sun Fei's help, the research progress of the [ Madman's Laboratory ] is advancing by leaps and bounds. In less than ten days, they have already deciphered most of the rune arrays on the Dark Demon Armor, and part of the mysterious content recorded on the pale bone fragments has also been deciphered. It is believed that it will not be long before they can begin to develop their own war puppets for Chambord City.
During this time, Sun Fei finally upgraded his [ Necromancer Mode ] to the Hell difficulty level 100, reaching the pinnacle, and began to upgrade his [ Druid Mode ].
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and winter has enveloped the land.
In the real world, Sun Fei has completely wiped out all the zombies, big and small, in Anzhi Imperial Capital, and has begun to clear out the wandering zombies in the boundless wilderness outside the capital.
After these days of slaughter, the strength of [ Barbarian Mode ] and [ Paladin Mode ] has increased again, and they are not far from the Demigod Realm Middle Stage. The gains are considerable, and the range of the two domains has increased, now able to radiate within a two-kilometer radius.
Meanwhile, in the Diablo World, the [ Druid Mode ] has finally reached Hell difficulty level 100, achieving a complete playthrough, and the [ Sorceress Mode ] has reached Hell Difficulty level 20.
Regarding the [ Madman's Laboratory ], the secrets of [ Dark Demon Armor ] Basturk have been thoroughly investigated by Uncle Cain and Sister Auntie. This war puppet, who was initially as proud as a king, was tortured to the point of death by a group of college students and eventually compromised completely, actively cooperating with everyone's research. He also revealed a lot about the secrets of Hell.
It was with its help that the ghastly white bone fragments, known as Chapter Forty-Five of the [ Hell Scripture ], were finally completely deciphered.
During this process, Uncle Cain and the nun came to a conclusion—
It turns out that the Hell forces had no real intention of making a deal with the Holy Church. The information recorded on the bone fragments they provided was half true and half false, and extremely misleading. If the Church were to actually use the secret techniques described to create war puppets, they would ultimately suffer a great loss. The war puppets they created would instead be controlled by the Hell forces and become tools of Hell's battle.
Making a deal with the devil is indeed a high-risk choice.
Fortunately, Chambord City possessed the technology of Divine Runes and had extensive knowledge of Hell powers. With the assistance of Dark Demon Armor Bastürk, the Number One traitor in Hell, the two magic fanatics finally recreated the true secrets of war golem creation and began planning to build their first war golem.
Third update.
