Mechanical Alchemist-Chapter 515 514 [Urobolos Space-Time Ring]

[Urobolos Space-Time Ring]was a Divine King Artifact beyond Su Lun's understanding, where even what seemed like simple repairs were a time-consuming and energy-draining process.

After Dwarf King Tie Kui Ao lifted his rune-imbued hammer, he paid no further attention to Su Lun.

His mind was undistracted, focused only on the furnace and forging.

The space echoed with crisp and rhythmic clinking sounds.

"Clang," "Clang," "Clang"...

Su Lun watched intently from the side.

It must be said, watching a divine craftsman at work was anything but boring.

Especially for someone like Su Lun, who knew quite a bit about forging techniques, it was a magical experience from which one could greatly benefit.

Watching strokes that seemed like those of an ordinary blacksmith, Su Lun understood that this Dwarf King's hammering was not merely on a physical level. Underneath that heavy hammer, even the laws themselves were forged and transformed, molding into the required shape and fusing onto the ring.

The rhythm of the hammering was clearly a matter of sophisticated forging skills.

Su Lun silently watched, his own forging skills greatly improving in the process.

However, he also noticed a problem.

It was that the Dwarf King's resentment seemed to fade during the forging process, his rationality gradually dissipating as his actions seemed to rely completely on instinctive mechanical movements.

Su Lun realized this was a sign of the disappearance of obsession and the disintegration of the residual soul.

Frightened, he quickly covered the Dwarf King's residual soul with a rune-imbued black umbrella, using the umbrella's effect to nourish the undead and mend the wisp of residual soul.

Otherwise, if things were not repaired and top-tier materials were used up, that would indeed be a huge loss.

...

Su Lun always stayed by the forge.

At the exit of the curse space, to be cautious, Su Lun had enlisted Mr. Hei's help. With him and No. 19 guarding, the remaining divine plane mages could not stir up any trouble, and after two attempted attacks were driven back, they quieted down.

This repair process lasted nearly half a month.

Every day of repairs was nerve-wracking for Su Lun, always fearful that the Dwarf King's resentment might suddenly stop working one day.

Luckily, the rune-imbued black umbrella was powerful enough to continuously nourish, stabilizing the fluctuations of the residual soul even more than before.

As days passed, watching the cracks on the shard being glued together with the adhesive made from the Sand of Time and dimensional shards, Su Lun's feelings of anticipation and anxiety intensely conflicdted.

Finally, on the sixteenth day,

Su Lun heard the noise of forging cease and upon looking, the Dwarf King's resentment had taken the ring, glowing red-hot from the divine fire, out of the Eternal Forge, which brought him sudden joy.

"Repair succeeded!"

His left eye shimmering brilliantly, he identified the ring's attributes at first glance.

[Urobolos Space-Time Ring (Damaged)]

Quality: Divine King Artifact

Description: Time is a ring with past, present, and future; after ritual refinement, gain spatial casting affinity +999, temporal affinity +999, immune to influences of space-time laws not higher than the artifact's own laws; can integrate with spatial equipment, absorb curse spaces, space-time rifts to condense under one's control of space-time powers;

Detail: You see the origins of the curse space on the ring, the artifact broken, the laws of the universe overflowing and scattered across the fractured planes creating numerous cursed spaces. The artifact is now damaged, and apart from some space-time properties inherent in the materials, you cannot use any of its powers; this item contains vast amounts of information beyond comprehension;

"Such strong attributes!"

Seeing this, Su Lun's expression suddenly cleared as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sky.

He could tell at a glance that the repair of the ring wasn't very good, like gluing a shattered jade bracelet together with inferior glue, and the crude marks were very apparent.

But even the slight effectiveness of this repair made him extremely delighted!

Although it lacked direct combat functionality like the black scythe that could slash and kill, the ring still irresistibly drew Su Lun's gaze!

That casting affinity "+999" was strikingly conspicuous.

This wasn't a defined value, but rather because it exceeded the upper limits of comprehension.

Su Lun knew then that the Sand of Time and dimensional crystals he previously used had not been wasted, but had indeed earned him a huge gain!

When he had used these two types of law materials to release alchemy previously, he had utilized their temporary boost in casting affinity to enhance the power of the seals.

Now this ring could do the same.

What did that mean?

Previously, using these materials for casting was a one-time consumable affair, each use depleting a bit of the materials.

But now with the ring, it was reusable equipment.

It was many times stronger than casting spells using materials before!

That meant he could now use long-distance Spatial Displacement without any hesitation.

And he could use it infinitely!

Just by holding it in his hand, Su Lun could distinctly feel the exaggerated spell affinity enhancement.

With a rough estimate in his mind, he had already glimpsed the terrifying enhancement.

Previously, the limit for "Teleportation" was a few dozen meters; now with the ring in his possession, he estimated that the distance could reach a thousand meters; theoretically, it could explode to several thousand meters after a complete refinement!

This distance would continue to strengthen as his comprehension of the laws improved.

The distance of this instant-cast spell, "Teleportation," was comparable to long-distance Spatial Displacement that originally required seals and law condensation.

If he really refined this ring, Su Lun figured that theoretically, barring any other unforeseen factors, he could even Teleport directly back to Luying from the MaFa Space!

Could you imagine this survival capability?

In the future, even if he encountered formidable enemies, if he could not defeat them, nobody could hold him back!

Just this alone made Su Lun feel it was worth it.

Extremely worth it!

Furthermore, Su Lun saw the description of the ring and finally solved an ultimate mystery in the field of Alchemy: "So the curse space in the Alchemy plane formed because of the law overflow from this Divine Artifact's fracture!"

The energy spillover from one Divine Artifact affected an entire plane; can you imagine its high tier?

From the memories of the mages in those divine planes he had previously stripped away, he knew that there was no curse space in the divine planes.

There was something similar called "Space-Time Rifts," but they were extremely rare.

In contrast, the number in the Alchemy plane was almost as numerous as the stars in the sky, which was simply unbelievable.

Now that he understood it was due to this Divine Artifact.

No wonder this "Urobolos Space-Time Ring" was coveted by the divine beings of the divine planes!

...

"This really is like trading a bird gun for a cannon..."

Su Lun had never felt so good before.

In the past, he was always terrified in this survival-of-the-fittest world, always afraid of encountering top-level powerhouses who could annihilate him on the spot.

Now with this ring, he was confident about making his way in the Alchemy plane!

Even if he faced a ninth-tier head-on, he could still retreat with ease.

With the ring's terrifying affinity enhancement, if the enemy wanted to limit his Teleportation on the plane of Space Law, even a ninth-tier would find it difficult to restrain him.

With enhanced survival capabilities, his thoughts immediately became more active.

It seemed he could start planning for Dragon Island as well...

Su Lun's mind instantly conjured up countless scenes.

Previously, he felt that with his current level at the seventh tier, his survival chances in that dangerous sea area, which could annihilate even the Pirate King's fleet, were not high.

But now...

Even if he didn't find the treasure, it would be very hard to die.

Moreover, having battled the Black Dragon, he had a rough understanding of the legendary combat power of the dragon race.

As long as he didn't encounter a ninth-tier dragon, comparable to a divine being in strength, as Mr. Jing said, he thought the problem wasn't big.

With his mind racing, Su Lun had even thought through a whole series of adventure plans.

But now wasn't the time to dwell on those adventures, as he glanced at the scene before him where the spirit of the Dwarf King, Iron Helm Oll, was still woodenly standing.

Su Lun asked a question and received not a single response.

Thinking it over, he decided to collect this lingering spirit with his rune-marked black umbrella.

....

After doing all this, Su Lun then turned his thoughts back to this space.

This "Dwarf King's Grudge" curse space was very peculiar, not dissipating even now. Fundamentally, it formed a stable space reliant on the overflowed space-time power of the ring.

Upon seeing this, Su Lun recalled another piece of information identified from the ring: "This ring can absorb curse spaces?"

Some other ideas popped into his head.

Could he use the ring to expand the Minor Void Realm a bit?

It was like the time before, when he fused with the fragmented space of the mirror-like library.

The moment the thought struck him, he immediately set to work.

Having set up the highest level of ritual formation he knew, using various flawless crystals, alchemical arrays, and his own blood, Su Lun began to consecrate the "Urobolos Space-Time Ring."

Before long, the alchemical array glowed, and a dense force of Space-Time Law permeated the formation.

A day later, the consecration was complete.

Su Lun slowly opened his eyes from meditation.

He looked at the Ouroboros ring in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Although he had previously identified the ring's effects, he couldn't help but remark, "The amplification of a Divine Artifact is indeed exaggerated."

After the consecration, wearing the ring, the affinity with space was indescribably enhanced.

Previously, her understanding of "Space-Time Law" was like viewing scenery from a mountain peak—a perspective already rare among her peers; but now, after the fusion, it was like viewing from an airship, with the land entirely in her sight.

The Divine Artifact had raised her affinity significantly.

And this increase was beyond what normal cultivation could reach.

The ring clearly had more uses to be uncovered, and Su Lun planned to research them slowly in the future.

The identified information was that the ring could integrate into spatial equipment.

His implant, "Endless Stomach of the Sky Whale," was a mini realm and theoretically, it was also possible.

After performing the consecration, Su Lun felt even more certain that his previous idea was sound.

With a pinch of the sorcerer's seals, he attempted to integrate the ring into his implant.

To his surprise, this attempt went very smoothly!

The ring, containing the supreme Space-Time Law, had a very high compatibility with the minor void realm and easily merged into the space.

Su Lun didn't dare to try absorbing the space in the cursed realm; he put away the "Eternal Furnace," along with treasures like hammers and Contract Scrolls.

Then, with a teleportation, he appeared at the exit of the cursed space.

...

Seeing Su Lun, whom they hadn't seen in over ten days, number nineteen and Mr. Hei standing at the exit were a bit surprised.

Number nineteen asked, "Did you manage it?"

"Yes,"

Su Lun nodded, smiling as he continued, "Let's go, we're leaving. I plan to try and absorb this cursed space."

Even Mr. Hei, experienced and knowledgeable, was incredulous at these words, "Absorb the cursed space?"

The three of them left one after another.

The surroundings changed instantly, and they were now in a dark mine tunnel.

Su Lun sensed for a moment; their current location was roughly beneath Giant God Mountain. This area was previously completely covered by dark energy and spatial fissures.

Right in front of them was an entrance to one of the fractures of the cursed space.

Su Lun didn't delay, pinching the sorcerer's seals; a seven-pointed star alchemy formation lit up beneath his feet.

He condensed a spatial vortex in his hand and reached out towards the spatial fracture. In an instant, the vortex seemed to have a strange suction force, pulling the fracture into it.

By his side, number nineteen and Mr. Hei watched in amazement.

Su Lun felt even more excited: "It really works!"

It was like connecting a draining machine to a pool, whooshing water from elsewhere.

He was well aware that his minor void realm was being filled with massive amounts of spatial energy, continually expanding.

That drain lasted a whole day.

...

When they emerged, it was around early morning; looking at his pocket watch, it was now midnight.

The spatial fissures that were previously visible everywhere in the mine had now completely disappeared.

The vast cursed space had been wholly devoured by Su Lun.

"Dwarf King's Resentment" was a space where reality and illusion overlapped and twisted.

Some things in the cursed space really existed in reality.

For example, the treasures in the underground city.

Most of the mountain dwarves had escaped through the secret passages before.

As for the few adventurers and some mountain dwarves still remaining in the space, they were expelled by Su Lun before they realized what had happened. Those remaining mages, he naturally finished off on the spot.

The cursed space had completely turned into nutrients, nourishing the Lesser Void Realm.

At this moment, the area of the Lesser Void Realm had expanded by several tens of square kilometers.

The previously cramped war workshop instantly became a corner of the space, surrounded by large swaths of vacant land.

The people in the Lesser Void Realm were happily arranging the various equipment that previously had no place to be set up.

With such a vast territory now available, they could even create a forest, a large lake, and a bustling town.

Su Lun and the Dawn Brigade could completely tailor this space to their liking.

And in the future, he could completely extract other cursed spaces to further expand the Lesser Void Realm.

In time, this space would slowly become an ideal little world.

...

Mr. Hei had returned to reside in the Lesser Void Realm. He was the librarian of Dawn, and now that the space was large enough, he also had to go back and plan the layout of the library.

Su Lun looked at Number Nineteen beside him and called out, "Come, let's go talk to the mountain dwarves."

"Alright."

Number Nineteen nodded, a flicker of different colors flashing in her eyes.

The formidable enemy had been killed, the cursed space completely broken, and it seemed this adventure was also nearing its end.

She was also glad she had come along this time, for she had gained such a great opportunity.

She was gradually getting used to being Su Lun's "lucky amulet".

Thinking of something, she smiled faintly.

Without much ado, Su Lun, wrapping his arm around her mechanical waist, disappeared from the spot.

Before, teleporting someone required seals to be formed and a moment of concentration, but now it took nearly one step to travel a thousand meters.

After several teleports, Su Lun had already sensed dense soul fluctuations.

Right in the dwarves' underground city, in a great hall stacked with treasures.

The Black Dragon had flown away, but it couldn't take the treasures stored here with it.

The [Dwarf King's Resentment] was a space where illusion and reality alternated, and the treasures seen before were still here.

Only the dwarf king's statue had been removed and melted down by Su Lun, so now there was no statue here.

At this moment, a golden-haired, crowned big-bearded dwarf was also leading a group of his people, sorting through something in the pile of treasures.

Previously this great hall had been covered by the cursed space, likely sensing the disappearance of the cursed space, they had felt their way here.

Seeing two people suddenly appear in the great hall, the dwarves were also immediately on alert.

Having mostly slipped away through the secret passage during the great battle, they were unclear about what had happened afterward.

But seeing Su Lun, the dwarf king recognized him instantly and also vaguely guessed something.

Su Lun knew what they were looking for.

Without waiting to be asked, he took out the hammer, rune codex, and other items, and bluntly said, "In the cursed space, I encountered the lingering spirit of your noble ancestor 'Iron Helmet Othar'. He entrusted me to bring these ancestral treasures out to the mountain dwarves..."

What!

Iron Helmet Othar?

Hearing this legendary name, the group of mountain dwarves looked at each other in disbelief.

As they saw the ancestral treasures that had been passed down from elder to elder truly appear before their eyes, their expressions became extremely complex, a mix of shock, sentiment, excitement, and exhilaration.

One by one, they looked at the treasures and then turned their gaze to the person who had brought them out.

This person could lift the [Dwarf King's Divine Forge], meaning, he was indeed recognized by the heroic spirits.

In an instant, the skepticism in the dwarves' eyes dissipated, replaced by gratitude and friendliness.

Su Lun had brought out these items not only to fulfill his promise but also to recruit these skilled mountain dwarves as blacksmiths.

Pointing to the pile, he didn't hide his intentions as he directly said, "Iron Helmet Othar asked me to pass on his words: if humans are willing to follow the terms of the alliance again one day, the mountain dwarves will still honor their promise to become steadfast allies like the steel of alchemy."

Pausing, Su Lun looked at the big-bearded dwarf king, who was deep in thought upon hearing these words, and said directly, "Now that the invasion of the planes has become a reality and the alchemy plane is in imminent danger, if Your Excellency the Dwarf King believes I am trustworthy, I would like, on behalf of the alchemists, to restart this alliance."

At this suggestion, the dwarf king's compact face showed an extremely solemn expression.
