38 weapons

  "A weapon?" Penny looked puzzled.

  "You can see that this is a modified mouse, the crystal on its forehead is a scale of the Time Dragon, which gives it the ability to stop time flow within a certain range three times a day. Moreover, its body has a constant acceleration effect and will never be slowed down by any spell."

  "Chrono Dragon's scale?" Penny stared at the dark crystal on the creature's forehead in shock, this thing was too big.

  The Time Dragon is an extremely rare species of dragon, to the point where many people can't even confirm whether it truly exists in the multiverse, making it a legend.

  Needless to say, the Time-Space Dragon is the most powerful among all dragon clans. Even a newly born Time-Space Dragon can manipulate time flow with its innate ability to counter any deity. However, this type of dragon usually indulges in traveling through the timeline of history and future, having an eccentric and reclusive personality, rarely seen by mortals or even deities.

  "Don't be surprised, this is my teacher's property, he used to wander in the multiverse when he was young... uh, got sidetracked, let's continue." The Mechanic paused for a moment: "Not only that, I've improved its bloodline, and on the material plane, it can also hide well in the shadows. Have you seen those four claws of his? Those claws have the power to dispel magic, allowing him to come and go freely in any magical boundary; forgot to mention, his skeleton is infused with refined gold, and his teeth are fixed with high-ranking magic fangs. Although he's not big, don't underestimate his destructive power."

  Penny furrowed her brow, indeed as said, a mouse with so many strange abilities was truly a terrifying creature: "However, Mr. Pascal, just one Great Divide spell and this powerful weapon will turn back into an ordinary little white mouse."

  "Did you think I hadn't thought of that?" The mechanical body of the Qixie Master let out a creaking sound: "Actually, this experiment has been going on for over 4,000 years. Now, this test subject is no longer the one I used when I first started experimenting."

  Pan Ni nodded, it can be imagined that transforming a mouse into such an unrecognizable appearance would require extremely high difficulty and technical experiments, failing several hundred times is also very normal.

  "This is the descendant of the second 24,273rd generation of the original experimental product. You should know that even if they have a strong vitality like mice, it's hard to accept such supernatural transformation. However, if I force them to accept these things over thousands of years, it will trigger evolutionism and their bloodline has changed to produce these abilities on its own." The Mechanic said: "Are you saying that the Great Rift Technique can destroy the magical effects brought by the bloodline?"

  "Are you saying that you created a brand new species?" Penny was truly shocked this time, no matter how much the two sides had been at odds with each other, but when he heard the origin of this mouse, he couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence. Spending over 4,000 years in a shadowy half-plane creating a new species, this was more powerful than any biologist.

  "It can be said that way, but it's not successful yet." The mechanical master's iron fingers stroked the transparent light cover covering the "mouse": "Still missing the most critical thing."

  "What is the most important thing?"

  The Qigong master pointed at the motionless mouse: "It's a spirit. I chose mice as experimental materials because their form of life is neither high nor low, they have good plasticity, and their vitality is strong and resilient, able to withstand the harm brought by this transformation."

  However, the soul of this creature was too weak and couldn't adapt to such a body. The subsequent samples that were born were in a half-dead state from birth. For over 4,000 years, I have been personally responsible for the breeding of these experimental subjects!

  Pang Ni sweated a bit, and suddenly an inconsistent picture appeared in his mind - this magic image grasped two old mice, performing artificial fork circles, such a program, repeated more than 20,000 times in these thousands of years, what kind of spirit is this?

  "No soul, no matter how powerful the strength is, it's just a decoration. Our experiment is to create a soul for it." The Mechanicist said: "I often stuff various souls into it, such as high-ranking demons, monsters, and even dragon clans, but they all dissipate quickly and cannot exist stably in this body. Is it because the power I gave it was too strong? It doesn't make sense that even a dragon's soul can't be contained... So I think my experimental direction is wrong. The other day, I had an idea, using existing souls may not adapt to this body, maybe I can use some soul material to create one that suits it."

  The demon said here, his tone was somewhat relaxed: "Recently, several experiments have proven that my idea is correct, and I also have a mature plan. Today is the day when I officially start executing it, which is very important to me."

  His tone grew more and more frenzied: "It's been 4,000 years since the bloodline changed to the point where I can no longer guess what it will be like. As long as he can create a qualified soul for him, he will definitely have more power to be excavated, absolutely not just as simple as I just said!"

  "Listen up:" Qixie Master stretched out his hand, and a crack opened in the space beside him. High-level casters would often place their treasures in the half-plane between the soul and the magic net. Pan Ni saw Qixie Master take out three bottles that shone with light, her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her eyelids without leaving any trace. However, she saw the magic image put these three bottles aside: "Adjust these three souls according to my instructions..."

  Panni followed the instructions of the Qixie Master, shattering the three soul blocks that originally belonged to her on the spell array of the adjustment platform, then mixing and placing them into the organizer. After a period of time, the soul blocks turned into blank soul source material. Following another round of processing by the Qixie Master, the three large soul blocks were transformed into ten small soul crystals.

  Throughout these steps, Penny's brain had been feeling a slight stinging sensation until the end, and he could still feel the connection between his consciousness and these soul blocks.

  He glanced at the 'mouse' in the light cover and an adventurous idea emerged in his mind.

  "The quality of these soul crystals doesn't seem to be very high." The Mechanic didn't notice his assistant's abnormality, but simply inspected the newly manufactured soul crystals and felt that their composition was a bit thin. He put them aside with a dissatisfied tone, then took out another batch of nearly a hundred similar soul crystals and placed them on the experimental table. He said to Penny, "Insert these into the experimental products one by one according to my instructions."

  Panni nodded, tossing a soul crystal into one of the test tubes on the console. The glow of arcana flared up, and the soul crystal transformed into a beam of light that flowed through the fluid channels of the console to the platform in the center where the experimental specimen was placed. Then the magic array emitted a faint glow before dissipating, and those soul essences flowed back into the test tube.

  Snap!

  The Chi Mechanic tossed the recondensed crystal to the ground, shattering it. The soul source dissipated quickly under the intense impact. Pascal's body emitted a cold voice: "Rejection reaction, failure, next one."

  Pang Ni hesitated for a moment, then casually picked up a new Soul Crystal and repeated the process. However, it was still repelled by the backlash, and the crystal was also carelessly tossed to the ground.

  "Next!"

  The third soul crystal entered the experimental groove, producing a moderate explosion. The soul source dissipated directly into the air, and the protective light of the experimental platform also dimmed slightly, as if the magic array had worn out. This result made Penny's eyelid twitch.

  "Rejection reaction, next."

  "Severe rejection, next."

  "Failed, try again..."

  Following Pascal's instructions, they conducted the experiment several times in a row. Most of the time, the result was repulsion and backflow, with explosions occurring only occasionally. Only an extremely small number of soul crystals were able to enter the platform safely, at which point the mice on the platform would start glowing, and Penny could hear the faint hum of the illusion spell.

  However, each time, the glowing fur would quickly dim, and the soul source was either dispersed or recirculated. In short, it seemed that none of them had succeeded.

  The strange noises coming from the mechanic's body grew more frequent and intense.

  Panny calculated the probability of an accident occurring, calmed down, and picked out a small piece of soul crystal from the ten pieces in the corner, put it into a test tube, and turned on the magic array.

  The essence of the soul is transformed into a stream of light flowing towards the experimental platform.

  As soon as he touched the platform, there was no explosion, and Penny secretly let out a sigh of relief. Then, seeing the light enter the light shield, the mouse skin flashed with white light, his pupils opened wide, and his breathing became slightly more urgent.

  After a dozen or so consecutive failures, Pascal was mechanically recording the experiment when he suddenly saw that the anomaly at the center of the experimental table had persisted for five seconds; his attention immediately focused and all extraneous noise in the room ceased.

  Five seconds...

  Ten seconds...

  Twenty seconds...

  The luster on the mouse skin did not fade, and Penny's intention seemed to connect with something. He felt as if there was an extra limb on his body. He tried to send a mental signal, but saw that the mouse on the experimental platform moved one of its paws slightly.

  Then Penny felt this point of connection begin to break and disperse, as if it had consumed a large amount of energy, and the luster on the surface of the mouse's skin also began to fade.

  "Continue! Supplement the source! Continue!" Apparently, Kishou also saw this point, and the constant phantom sound technique let out a fierce roar.

  Pang Ni hastily threw down a second Soul Crystal of the same kind.

  The link was suddenly strengthened, and I felt as if a small part of my consciousness had appeared in the mouse's brain.

  It was as if a person had grown two heads that were awake at the same time, extremely discordant, and he felt like one moment he was human, and the next he had turned into a strange mouse.

  The mouse's body began to tremble slightly, the mechanic was excited and shook all over, his whole body started to ooze machine oil, suddenly he went crazy and scattered a large pile of soul crystals into the most primitive spiritual substance, dispersing it onto the experimental platform in the middle. Penny felt a thrill, feeling that her spiritual connection with the strange mouse began to fade away, but that part of the spirit still existed independently inside the mouse's body.

  This also produced a kind of approximate startup effect, the center of the experimental platform was like a tornado, devouring the surrounding soul source, Penny's thoughts gradually got rid of the chaos, but felt that her connection with the mouse had become vague.

  A new soul is being nurtured and born within the body of a mouse.

  If the proportion of his own soul in it could be a bit larger, guiding the completion of this process, he might be able to grasp this 'weapon'. Pan Ni secretly glanced at the remaining eight soul crystals hidden in his hand and thought so.

  The essence of the soul in the center of the experimental platform is gradually thinning out, and the mouse's soul seems to be approaching successful gestation.

  "Excellent! Excellent! I've finally succeeded, this is a great experiment! A great experiment!" The magic image excitedly danced with joy, apparently, he had completely abandoned mechanical thinking due to over-excitement. He shouted at Penny while celebrating: "Don't move, observe carefully! Wait for the result."

  Another GEAS.

  Pan Ni's heart sank.

  When the experiment really ended, it was irretrievable.

  Pan Ni's eyes rolled around and he quickly came up with an idea: "Sir, congratulations to you, but what was the purpose of creating this weapon?"

  "Why?" The demon statue Pascal was taken aback and repeated in confusion: "Why?"

  "Not bad, doing something must have a reason, if there is no reason to do something, isn't it meaningless?" Penny asked.

  "What's the meaning? What's the meaning? Why am I doing this research after all? Strange, can't seem to remember... what was it for?" The surface of the magical doll's body gradually emitted a sharp noise, and a large amount of machine oil flowed out due to the heat emitted by the magical doll. The metal joints made a 'creaking' sound.

  Obviously, the Miko Kichizuki who has lost many memories cannot answer this question!

  Penny's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he made a gesture with his hand. The last eight soul crystals that belonged to him were thrown onto the experimental platform. He endured the feeling of vomiting blood caused by the magical energy attacking his nerves - the damage from just one act of defiance was not enough to be fatal. He quickly sent his thoughts through the re-established connection into the mouse's body, controlling the integration process of the mouse's soul and gradually taking control of its physical form.

  The glow on the platform brightened again, and the mouse's body trembled at an increasingly higher frequency.

  "Can't think about it anymore." Sagopa Kajmer felt a severe loss of emotional control and began to delete memories in large quantities - something he did every time this happened, which took a little while.

  When he finished erasing the memories, his emotions calmed down again. At this time, he 'saw' that the eyes of the old mouse on the experimental platform slowly opened, and a faint silver light was released from its pupils. The hourglass-shaped temporal scales on its forehead seemed to start flowing slowly. In an instant, his thoughts, perception, and actions all entered a state of suspension!

  The old mouse moved its not very agile limbs, slowly crawling down the experimental platform, and then climbed up the demon's leg to the abdomen, with black shiny claws reaching towards the arcane symbol in the center of the demon's abdomen...

  The boy on the other side of the laboratory stood still with his eyes closed, as if his soul had left him.
