Chapter 16: I'm Op!

"....So this is the Ambrosia huh." Alex muttered, staring at the liquid on a tube.

It has been several days since the trip to Kyoto, and their lives were now back to being peaceful. Even the East and West Youkai Army were silent.

And currently, Alex was in his workshop, which was full of all sorts of stuff. Metallic parts, scraps, some unfinished exoskeleton armor, guns, some ores scattered around, swords, and many more.

And currently, he was observing the liquid inside the tube. It was a liquid known as Ambrosia, from Arifureta, capable of healing all kinds of wounds, deadly or not, though it couldn't regrow limbs.

It is also capable on extending one's life span as long they continue to drink it.

He placed the tube to the side before observing the fist-size crystal on the table in front of him.

It is the Divinity Stone, a crystal created when large clump's of mana pooled together and crystallized over the course of a thousand years.

It usually ranges from 30-40cm in diameter, and then over the course of a few hundred years their saturated mana liquefied and poured back to earth.

That liquid is the Ambrosia, which was what Alex has been observing earlier.

Alex made this crystal by compressing his magic through the use of Gravity Magic, then accelerate the time using Regeneration Magic.

"I wonder what will happen if I used Stardust Energy instead of Mana?"

He grinned, "Jude, assist me."

With a bright flash, Judecca in her human form appeared in front of him.

"I'm still not very proficient in using Stardust Energy so I couldn't afford to be distracted, Jude, use Gravity Magic to Compress the Stardust Energy, and Regeneration Magic to accelerate the time."

"Affirmative Master."

Alex nodded and took a deep breath, before closing his eyes as he stretched his hands forward. Suddenly a glistering aurora-like energy appeared and danced around Alex's hands.

Judecca immediately used Gravity Magic to compress the energy into a ball, but finds it difficult to do so. It feels like this energy is even above the concept of gravity.

But Judecca did not even looked flustered or shocked as she immediately accessed her master's boundless supply of Mana and increased the power of Gravity.

At that moment, the energy suddenly began to move and change its shape. Slowly but steadily, it began to form into a ball.

When Judecca saw that, she immediately used Regeneration Magic to its utmost limit to accelerate the time of the energy.

A gray cube suddenly covered the ball of energy. Inside the cube, ten years passed while only a second passed in the outside.

Judecca still wasn't satisfied and increased the acceleration of time, making it so that every second passed, is hundred years inside the cube.

Even after a minute, the energy showed no sign of turning into solid. She looked at her master, who was sweating and appears to be in pain.

Her eye twitched and accelerated the time once again. A second is now equivalent to a thousand years inside the cube, then she once again used Gravity magic to compressed the energy once more.

After a minute, she can finally see a small crystal objective started to form.

After a couple of hours, which is probably millions of years in the cube, the energy finally formed into a thumbnail-sized crystal and Alex finally stopped using the Stardust Energy and he collapsed back to the ground.

"Haa~ Haa~" he was out of breath, but still, a smile never left his face. "Let me see it Jude."

Judecca opened her hand, and a small centimeter sized crystal can be seen floating on her palm.

He grinned, "Can it produce something like an Ambrosia?"

Judecca nodded, "It can master."

"Let's see..."

The crystal floated above them. They waited, and waited, and after an hour, when they finally decided to accelerate the time, they can finally see that the crystal was now about to drop a liquid.

"Its here!" Alex hurriedly took out a tube, while Judecca just stood beside him.

After a minute, it finally dropped a liquid. Alex caught it with his tube, and almost immediately, the drop of liquid released a glistering aurora-like energy.

"Guh?!" Alex felt an incredibly dense energy entering his body causing him to feel like he was about to explode, he immediately used Evolution Magic and Metamorphosis Magic to rapidly strengthen his body just to stop himself from exploding.

"Master!" Judecca quickly reacted and took the crystal and the tube with a drop of liquid inside her storage space.

Alex collapsed down to the floor, sweating and breathing heavily. He literally just saw his life flash before his eyes.

Who knew that a drop of that liquid was so potent it almost caused his body to be destroyed.

Judecca helped Alex and let him sit down on his chair, "Master...are you alright?"

Alex took a deep breath and nodded, "Yeah, yeah I'm fine, I underestimated the effects of that liquid. If I was in my Demon Form I would be able to handle it but..."

Judecca blinked before shaking her head, "Master got it wrong, even if Master is an ordinary human, master can still get near that liquid. Its just that, master need to slowly approached it to let master's body adapt to it."

"Is that so?" Alex raised an eyebrow, "Well, I did got suddenly exposed to an overwhelming amount of energy with my guard lowered....whatever, its my fault for being careless. Anyway, can you analyze the properties of that drop of liquid Jude?"

Jude blinks before looking at her storage space,

{Analyzing....A Drop of Liquid made from a Condensed and Solidified Form of Stardust Energy. It released an enormous power capable to reviving even a dead planet. Whoever drinks this will gain immortality, and enough power to destroy and creates a world. But if one who was unprepared was suddenly exposed to this power, they will explode and erased from existence}

"...for real?" Alex's eyes widened. Granted, the "erased from existence" part was scary, but if its really true that a drop of this liquid can revived a planet then.

...wouldn't that mean, that the barren world that is the Demons Home, would be brought back to life?

After all, literally the only thing you can find in Demon World are gray sand, white sand, red sand, black sand, dead trees, ancient ruins, rocks, stones, and many more depressing things.

Even the rivers were flames, and the ocean was lava. If he used that drop of liquid, wouldn't that mean that their world will finally be suitable to live in?

They may be demons, but even they finds Demon World a bit harsh.

And then, if he managed to fully use the Hogyoku, wouldn't that mean that his race will enter the era of prosperity?

He can finally realized his dream! To unify and bring peace to the Demon World!

"...Though, the Hogyoku is still pretty much useless to me." He sighed and leaned back on his chair, as Judecca stood beside him.

"...Just what am I doing wrong?"

The Hogyoku works as he intended, true. But he couldn't fully utilize it yet! It can still only work in Spirit Energy, even when he studied how Demons Convert fear into Magic, he just couldn't find the reason why or how can he convert Spirit Energy into another energy!

That infinitely flowing energy that came out of the orb couldn't be fully utilize!

One might ask, why do you have to convert Spirit Energy? Because Spirit Energy is only usable by the people of this world! Its practically useless once it left this world.

Just like how Magic couldn't be used by people of this world, Spirit Energy also couldn't be used by People of the other world.

In the original, the reason why Chiho managed to use Magic is because of "that" thing that Lailah has given to her, it also temporarily allowed her to be at the same level as the "weakened" Sadao.

"...Maybe I should also ask Nonko for help? I mean, the Yoinozaka can turn Alcohol into Energy right? If learned how to do that, combined with my knowledge on how demons convert fear and despair into magic power...surely, I can make some progress."

"Why don't Master just use Concept Magic?" Judecca asked.

Alex sighed, "You know Concept Magic is base on Desire right? What I'm doing right now is to change Spirit Energy into another type of energy. And since Spirit Energy is pretty much the backbone of this world, the energy that made up this world, then...I would need a desire to change the world...and honestly, do you see me as the type of guy to have any desire like that?"

Judecca thought for a moment, "Well...If master gives Judecca access to the Stardust Energy, Judecca might be able to make a concept not out of "desire" but "theory"—"

Alex paused before looking at Judecca, "Seriously?"

She nodded, "Super serious."

He grinned, "Then, can you also make the concept of "Energy Conversion"? Like how the wind turbines converts the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power, and how a generator convert mechanical power into electricity? You can also make a concept like that?"

"Hn." She nodded, feeling a bit proud of herself, even with her stoic face, you can imagine her looking smug.

Alex grinned maniacally, 'Isn't this a bit OP? If I knew I can do that, I wouldn't even need the Hogyoku in the first place. Since it is base on theory, Judecca can just make the concept of perpetual motion. Shit, doesn't that mean I can pretty much do anything? Wait, if I use Concept Magic, can't I just dissolve the restriction that ROB has given me? Like making a concept of unbinding or something?'

"Holy shit..."

"Master?"

"Let's start now Jude!"
