When they woke up, they found themselves lying in the ward in the Council House.
After getting up, the five of them looked at each other. They didn't know what to say.
To be honest, they were selected as candidates for the Ten Holy Wizards. They naturally had unique qualities. In strength, they were the best among many S-class wizards.
But at this moment, their pride was shattered by Caesar.
In front of Caesar, they knew what a truly strong person was.
"I don't know how Caesarsheng's Ten Holy Wizards trained to be so powerful."
"Talent plus hard work. Don't forget that Caesar has the nickname Tyrant. Another is Involution Master."
Everyone thought of that dark time. All the S-class wizards were in danger. They feared losing all missions.
Just then, Caesar was curled up alone in an uninhabited canyon.
This canyon was 300 kilometers from the Council. The terrain was steep with high mountains and deep valleys. Many powerful monsters lived here. They were usually rampant and terrifying.
But at this moment, the monsters seemed mad. They fled from the canyon, ignoring everything.
They looked terrified. They ran desperately. It was as if something terrifying chased them. They feared taking one slower step.
Some monsters wished they could grow two more legs to escape faster.
As they ran, they looked back. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
The canyon looked like the end of the world. The originally stable space twisted and broke violently. Deafening dragon roars resounded through the valley.
The light that once symbolized hope was stained with black light.
Monsters running slower were illuminated by the strange light. They screamed. Their bones shattered. They fell to the ground dead. They turned into a pile of bones instantly.
This sight made other monsters run harder. They didn't dare stop.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the earth shook. Caesar roared angrily. He swung his fist with all his strength. He smashed a rock wall a hundred meters high.
His body was filled with powerful magic. It surged wildly. It ran under his skin like out-of-control mice. His body trembled.
His veins bulged. His muscles tensed. His face became distorted and hideous.
He looked like an enraged beast.
He didn't expect that every promotion felt like a great sword being driven into him. The process of upgrading from purple card to gold card was painful.
Caesar felt the world was rejecting him. His existence was triggering something different. The world rejected it.
It was the Philosopher's Stone.
Caesar was sure. It was his three hundred Philosopher's Stone cards. The quantitative change caused a qualitative change.
According to Broken Game, the strongest point of the Philosopher's Stone wasn't as a consumable in alchemy. It could offset costs.
This price was extremely expensive.
That was why the world rejected the birth of the Philosopher's Stone.
When Caesar saw the protagonist card change from purple to gold, he knew the Broken Game had been won.
The game prompted him: "The protagonist card has been upgraded. The entries have been selected. Choose one to add to the protagonist card."
Six entries were left after absorbing three hundred Alchemist gold cards.
A selection rate of 36 percent. Terribly low.
No wonder the game reminded him. To collect an entry, he had to get 300 of the same entry. Otherwise, he was doomed.
[Feminine Style]: Adds ability for gender conversion, male or female.
[Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon]: Adds auxiliary bombardment to the cannon when attacking. Number depends on magic power.
[Steel Body]: Replaces flesh body with steel. Flesh is weak. Machinery ascends.
[Arrogance]: Changes personality. Increases artificial human attributes.
[Alchemy]: Master alchemy knowledge. Increases alchemy power by 70 percent.
[Gluttony]: Greatly increases appetite.
Caesar leaned against a piece of gravel. He looked at the options. His mouth twitched. "What a speechless entry."
He silently selected Alchemy. It was added to his protagonist card.
Then the prop card appeared. He looked at the options and was confused.
[Philosopher's Stone]: Obtain 18g of Philosopher's Stone.
[Philosopher's Stone]: Obtain 62kg of Philosopher's Stone.
[Philosopher's Stone]: Obtain 2g of Philosopher's Stone.
[Philosopher's Stone]: Obtain 3T of Philosopher's Stone.
Looking at the four options, Caesar rubbed his eyes.
"Rift!!!"
He was shocked. The last option excited him. He ignored his weak body. He jumped three meters high.
3T.
Three tons.
Three tons of Philosopher's Stone.
Even throwing it like a stone could kill someone.
The cost Caesar could pay off would be huge.
"Take off! This wave must take off!"
Caesar waved his fist. He shouted excitedly. "Three tons of Philosopher's Stone! As a prop card, it limits the upper limit. Even if consumed, it can be replenished with cards!"
This was called Caesar. With enough Philosopher's Stone cards, he could use alchemy freely.
He could continuously exchange Philosopher's Stones for his magic power. Then use it to take over Merlin's cards. Unlimited firepower mode would last terrifyingly long.
Caesar wanted to try it.
When he thought of the black dragon Acnologia, he wouldn't just think of escaping.
Caesar now had the ability to compete with Acnologia.
Caesar consumed a few grams of Philosopher's Stone. His body recovered to its peak.
He punched without relying on any card power. He shattered the space with one punch.
The entire canyon collapsed. It turned into ruins.
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
Caesar pressed his hands down. The ashes calmed instantly. He clapped his hands. The canyon returned to its original state. Time seemed to go back.
"I'm really looking forward to meeting the Black Dragon Acnologia and Tenrou Island again."
Caesar clenched his fist. The space trembled. His strength without cards was no weaker than Kil'darts.
With unlimited firepower mode on, consuming 30 percent of the Philosopher's Stone could destroy the entire continent.
With his foundation, Caesar looked at the red cards in the card slot.
It was time to increase their strength.
