Chapter 210
"As for how Mr. Bekas, who was originally a human, became a non-human...
“And how is [not an individual]...
"Maybe it's related to the [Millennium Artifact]."
Philip put the [Millennium Eye] back into the silver-white suitcase, and then picked up the ankh-shaped Millennium Key that he had seen before.
Then, Phillip said calmly: "My guess about this matter is this...
“When Officer Shiraishi was studying for a degree related to materials science, he unexpectedly met Mr. Bekas, who had done some research on alchemy. The two had a great conversation and hit it off, and then they began to study alchemy together.
"And when Mr. Bekas traced the roots of alchemy back in the past, he accidentally discovered the legend related to the [Millennium Artifact] buried in history.
"So, Mr. Bekas bid farewell to Officer Shiraishi and prepared to pursue the [Millennium Artifact] himself.
“And it was in this process that Mr. Bekas, who was originally an anthropologist, became a non-human being.
"He became the Golden Lord."
Philip put down the [Millennium Key] in his hand, and then took out the [Millennium Bricks] that looked like an upside-down pyramid from the silver suitcase.
Looking at the upside-down pyramid, Philip said calmly: "And this is precisely because of the thousand-year artifact."
Later, Philip added: "While reading books related to alchemy, I saw an ancient legend recorded in the classics...
"Although I have not been able to fully analyze all the key words in the legend due to insufficient knowledge of alchemy, I can still basically describe the general appearance of the legend...
"Legend has it that in the distant past, there once existed such a special country in the world...
“Countless wise men gathered in this country. They debated and consulted with each other, making this country a beautiful country called the country of wisdom.
“Alchemists, alchemists, and alchemists abound in this country…
"However, such a beautiful country, although it has many wise men full of wisdom, does not have many generals who are good at conquest and battle...
"Therefore, with its extremely weak military strength, it is often invaded for various reasons...
"So, the wise men began to think about countermeasures.
“Eventually, the Alchemist stepped forward.
"The alchemist Gara joined three other alchemists, and finally used the power of alchemy to create 5 powerful forces that can be driven by the king.
“Since then, the weak country has swept away its own weakness and become the strongest in the world.
"However......
“Meanwhile, desire creeps in.
"After defeating the invaders, the king sitting on the throne was completely swallowed up by desire...
“He started trying to invade other countries in turn.
"The disaster spread...
"At the same time, the alchemist Gara, who was also driven by desire, began further research.
"Gara did some crazy things.
"Gara destroyed the integrity of the original five powers in a special way, allowing them to give birth to consciousness.
"The power of Buchen was born.
"Although the king who finally sat on the throne successfully suppressed those five special powers with consciousness and enslaved those five powers again...
"However, the powerful ability displayed by the alchemist Gara and the vague desire revealed by Gara also made the king fearful.
"So, after the alchemist Gara and several other alchemists created the ultimate power for the king that surpassed those five powers...
"Wang finally chose to fight back.
"However, the alchemist Gara has also been prepared.
"Gara also left strength for herself.
"Therefore, although the king was severely injured, the alchemist Gara did not die as a result, but was sealed in a new container from then on...
"And Gara's last wish before being sealed was to replace the king...
"After that, for some reasons, the five special forces enslaved by the king also chose to rebel.
"However, these five special forces failed to unite because their desires were different.
“Therefore, they were played by the king’s plot.
“Their rebellion ultimately failed.
“However, the king’s desire was not satisfied.
"After defeating the five special powers, Wang tried to absorb all their power to make himself a god.
"However, he was swallowed up by desire but was not able to successfully control that power...
"In the end, in the violent power, the king was sealed together with 5 special powers..."
Philip picked up the Millennium Brick and said calmly: "Created by alchemy, it belongs to the king and is the ultimate power that overrides all other powers.
"According to the records in the notebook, the Millennium Building Block has the power to drive the gods, and is a special tool held by the king...
"This echoes to a certain extent the legendary king's attempt to gather all his power to ascend to the gods...
Then, Philip picked up the Millennium Wisdom Wheel with five hands and a main body composed of a ring and a pyramid. He said calmly: "The alchemist Gara has reserved for himself the power to rebel against the king.
"Not only can you split and hide your soul, store your soul in objects, but you can also search for the existence of other thousand-year-old artifacts...
"If the contents of the notes are correct, this Millennium Wheel of Wisdom should be Gara's last work.
"It coincides with the ending where Gara finally escaped and survived by being sealed."
Finally, Philip looked at the remaining thousand-year-old artifacts and said calmly: "Finally, there are the five special powers created to protect the kingdom."
Philip raised his head and looked at everyone: "In ancient legends, there are seven powers created by alchemy.
"Seven special millennium artifacts sealed with special power and made of gold...
"A special function that coincides with the fate of the king and Gara...
"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
341-Alchemy and the King (Part 2)
After hearing Philip's words, Terui Ryu and Zuo Shotarou frowned slightly, then stood there in silence, and then fell into deep thought...
At the same time, Philip put down the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] in his hand, and then continued to add: "At this point, you can start to try to explain what is going on with [not an individual]..."
Philip pointed to the model of the Millennium Artifact, and he said calmly: "The special power created by alchemy, the king who rules all, the alchemist Gara, their final outcome is not to die, but to be sealed.
“Therefore, their consciousness is most likely hidden in the Millennium Artifact, waiting to be awakened.
"And the users of the thousand-year artifact are very likely to eventually become the carrier of their awakening...
"If we follow this logic...
"Then, depending on the attitude of the soul sealed in the thousand-year artifact, there are roughly two possibilities.
“For one, spirits from the past are friendly.
"If this is the case, then [Huang Jinqing] is very likely to be a combination of the sealed ancient soul and the current soul carrier.
"Just like Kamen Rider W.
"So, nature is not an individual.
"Secondly, the souls from ancient times have completely succumbed to desire, leaving only the obsession to devour everything.
"And if this is the case, then the hidden power in the thousand-year artifact is naturally the cursed power.
"As people in this world continue to drive the thousand-year artifact, the souls swallowed by desire in the thousand-year artifact gradually awaken, and the bodies and souls of people in this world will also be gradually swallowed up by ancient souls and curses in the process...
“Eventually, souls from ancient times are reborn in the bodies of living humans.
“It’s like a curse.
“Just like a dopant who uses Gaia’s memory without restraint will eventually be swallowed up by Gaia’s memory.
"In this case, Huang Jinqing before and after is not a soul, so naturally it cannot be said to be an individual."
Then, Philip spread his hands again, and he continued to explain: "In addition, there is actually another explanation for [not an individual]...
"Prince Huang.
"The Golden Lord.
"The Golden King.
"Interpreted from the literal meaning, Golden Lord should be a title that can only be used by the lord who rules a party.
"In this way, rather than saying that Huang Jinqing is a special individual, it is better to say that Huang Jinqing is a position.
"It might even be the king's special armor.
“The former king was the first King of Gold.
"After that, the alchemist Gara and the five enslaved powers may all covet that position.
“But in the end, in this world, it was Mr. Bekas who obtained the special power that could carry the golden armor.
"That being said...
"Perhaps when we meet [Golden Minister] next time, the person behind the golden armor will not be Mr. Bekas who holds the [Millennium Eye]...
"But someone else——
“The resurrected ancient soul.
"Or...
"Someone else took away the Millennium Artifact held by Mr. Bekas.
"In this case, Huang Jinqing is naturally not an individual."
Speaking of this, Philip seemed to have recalled something. He looked at the model of the Millennium Artifact again, and then took out the Millennium Brick again.
Looking at the thousand-year building blocks, Philip said: "And if the above speculation is true...
"Mr. Bekas may not only possess the [Millennium Eye] and [Millennium Key], but also the king's artifact, the [Millennium Building Block]..."
"It's not because he can transform into King Huang.
"It's because he can drive [Phophorin]."
Philip looked at everyone and continued to explain: "According to the legends I can retrieve, before the alchemist Gara died, the king asked the alchemist Gara to create the [Ultimate Power] for him. It was a special power condensed from the power of dinosaurs in the ancient times.
"However, because the rebellion happened just after it was created, the king actually did not really use that ultimate power.
"It is still sealed up to this day.
"However, according to the legend...
"If it is driven by the power of the king...
"At least it can drive the three powerful powers of [Pterosaur], [Ceratops] and [Tyrannosaurus] at the same time...
"Hearing the names of these three dinosaurs, I wonder if you feel familiar..."
And Ming Hai Ya Shuzi widened her eyes: "Ah, the power of Pterosaur and Tyrannosaurus has already appeared in the [Dinomorph] power system used by the Golden Lord!"
And Philip nodded slightly, and he explained: "Therefore, whether it is taking away the T-Rex memory or deliberately specifying the Pterosaur memory when betting with Miss Taboo...
"It is very likely that the Golden Lord is looking for a way to reactivate the ultimate power of the king.
"And [Dinomorph-Mad Dragon King] may be the best embodiment of that power.
"Therefore, I speculate...
"In the next period of time, Bekas will definitely try to find the memory related to the Ceratopsus."
Afterwards, Philip slowly sat down at the round table, and he continued to say: "The above is my speculation.
