From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 444 5th Rank 'Alchemist

The background of the Reforging Church was quite shallow, and it only became a part of the True Gods Church a few decades ago, with its actual emergence spanning just a brief few centuries.

Although the development of the Reforging Church had accelerated dramatically since the industrial era, with technologies enabling public preaching, its expansion was much faster than that of the Dawn Church. However, the number of high-ranking officials and basic believers in the Reforging Church was still far less than other True Gods Churches.

The "Destroyer" was one of the two Cardinals in the Reforging Church, undoubtedly one of the top figures.

He was a man driven mad by technology, having received multiple Divine Oracles from the God of Reforging. It seemed he had long lost human emotions and ethical morals, solely focused on acquiring more technology and keen on recreating the various strange artifacts mentioned in the Oracles!

The inventor of the earliest version of the steam engine in the Claud World was none other than the "Destroyer" and the Pope of the Reforging Church, the "Iron Lord," who invented it together!

Although now known as the "Destroyer," he was once called the "Creator," undoubtedly a top technical genius within the Reforging Church, overseeing a large number of researchers and producing many inventions.

The reason why "Creator" was later called "Destroyer"... was because in recent years he had invented various war machines, such as having a close involvement in the creation process of the "battle puppet."

Besides, the "Destroyer" was also deeply addicted to refining alchemical explosives, even claiming that one day, he would create an ultimate explosive powerful enough to kill Monarch powerful experts!

However, even within the Reforging Church itself, few believed it was possible. No matter how much those weapons developed, the idea that their power could one day be strong enough to kill powerful Monarch experts was still highly unlikely and far-fetched.

In order to research the power of explosives, the "Destroyer" began actively promoting wars in small countries on other continents, merely to test his creations.

Thus, the title of "Creator" gradually evolved into "Destroyer."

The "Destroyer" did not care about these changes at all.

In a tent made of sturdy materials, three high-ranking officials of the Reforging Church were discussing.

At that moment, the "Destroyer" was slouched in a chair, all four arms idly resting, his eyes under the iron mask calmly looked at Felix and said,

"Honestly, Felix, what if I help you kill Darren Fischer? If you kill him, no one will ever doubt your devotion again."

Felix was silent for a while; he wanted to confidently shout, "I can," but felt that such a statement would be too exaggerated, insincere.

So Felix just sighed, his face full of sorrow and struggle, and said,

"Your Excellency, I, I am ultimately the son of Duke Darren Fischer. Although I have decided to betray the Fischer family for the Reforging Church and the great God of Reforging, I truly do not wish to kill Darren Fischer by my own hands…"

"I'm sorry, but I only have this one request!"

Surprisingly, the "Destroyer" seemed to have no intention of pressuring Felix, but instead spoke with a sudden realization.

"Ah, I see, okay then."

"I understand now, a father... cannot be killed by his son at will... I almost forgot that."

He appeared completely oblivious to human moral ethics, exhibiting an inhuman aspect.

"It's fine, Felix. Since you don't want to kill Darren Fischer, then killing other members of the Fischer family is also an option."

The "Destroyer's" tone was very cold, yet it seemed like he was really trying to understand Felix.

"Thank you."

Felix knew the "Destroyer's" mind was completely unhinged, so he wasn't angry, just a bit perplexed and amused.

However, his colleague was not as agreeable.

The man was also a bishop of the Reforging Church, notably "Steam Man" Bishop Marne, who had previously visited Fischer Manor to hold the Fischer family accountable.

"Steam Man" Bishop Marne stared at Felix and coldly said,

"Actually, I still think you are untrustworthy, Felix Fischer. Your blood carries that family's lineage, and if it weren't for the mark of the God of Reforging on you, the Church would imprison you immediately."

"But I have the mark of the God of Reforging!"

Felix suddenly shouted, then glared at Bishop Marne with angry emotion and said indignantly, "What right do you have to question me? I am the chosen of the God of Reforging! Are you trying to question His thoughts, His decisions?"

"Of course not…" Bishop Marne's face changed.

"Since it's not, then shut up!" Felix said expressionlessly.

The Destroyer sat in the chair, listening calmly to everything, appearing to have no particular thoughts, yet seemingly trying to understand why Felix was experiencing the emotion of "anger."

"Hmph!"

After the outburst, Felix turned around and left the tent.

Sigh…

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. After infiltrating the high ranks of the Reforging Church, his naturally honest character had also begun to change.

Now, not only was he gradually learning to lie, but he was also becoming more skilled at it.

"Truly difficult…" Felix shook his head.

Felix had now ascended to the 4th Rank "Cook" and the 5th Rank "Alchemist" on the Path of Forging.

He had originally thought that all ranks on the Path of Forging were various kinds of artisans, only to discover that there was even a type like "Cook"... but upon reflection, a cook was also a type of "Gourmet Artisan."

The true essence of the Path of Forging is… how to use one's skills to create special creations, gradually perfecting them.

The 4th Rank "Cook" provided a ratio of physical fitness and Spiritual Power of three point five and six point five, but it offered only one kind of Extraordinary power.

"Delicious Processing."

Simply put, a "Cook" could transform any Extraordinary material, directly forming different kinds of "Magic Food."

Those Magic Foods were akin to various kinds of Magic Potions, but the more Spiritual Power the "Cook" added, the more powerful the created Magic Foods became.

Of course, the specific effects of Magic Food also depended on the grade of the Extraordinary materials themselves.

If he could obtain top-grade Extraordinary materials, Felix could use the ability "Delicious Processing" to transform them directly into top-tier Magic Potions, with effects equal to those of Forbidden rare artifacts.

Of course, regardless of the grade of Extraordinary materials, after undergoing "Delicious Processing," they could all become very delicious food!

The image of a "Cook" in the Spirit Realm was a focused red-dressed female chef.

And the 5th Rank "Alchemist" provided a ratio of Spiritual Power and physical fitness of nine to one.

Its representation in the Spirit Realm was a gaunt old man wearing a brown cloak, holding a very peculiar potion bottle in his hand.

The "Alchemist" granted Felix three distinctly different Extraordinary powers.

They included the Passive "Toxin Absorption," and two actively triggered Extraordinary powers… "Decomposed" and "Reconstruction"!

Now, Felix was nearly immune to all toxins in the world, having truly achieved invulnerability to all poisons, and he could even absorb toxins to recover life force.

The abilities of "Decomposed" and "Reconstruction" allowed him to use Spiritual Power to decompose and then reconstruct everything his hands could touch, and even, with sufficient Spiritual Power, decompose and reconstruct flesh and soul!

These were two abilities brimming with creativity; theoretically, they had very high limits. However, their major drawback was that the "attack distance" was too short—it required direct touch to activate.

"Once the army arrives near Fein City, 'The Destroyer' will set up a temporary barrier, and there will be many other traps and ambushes. If the Fischer family and any other Cyart people rashly attack, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"

He pondered silently.

"Great Lord of the Lost, please let the Fischer family be aware of all this…"

Felix's heart was filled with unease and prayers, and at this moment, Karl was intently looking at him, witnessing everything that had just happened through Felix's perspective.

I am aware.
