Chapter 351: The Temporary Laboratory
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Who knows how long it would take for this demon-hunting expedition . ”
Grimm mumbled to himself .
Normally, the average duration for a demon-hunting expedition was between seventy to a hundred and twenty years . At least it was how long it would take for a normal demon hunter to complete his normal demon-hunting mission .
Not to discount that some worlds which had special rules of the world, or some out of the ordinary Stigmata Sorcerer would reduce or delay the duration of the expedition .
“It’s going to take a hundred and fifty years at least!”
The Myna chipped in . “The sorcerers of ancient times would take a few centuries to pillage the world completely before abandoning them . Although this Black Isotta had some modern influence, he’s obviously a conservative when it comes to the nature of full pillage . ”
“A full pillage? Are you saying that the Black Isotta is going to ransack the whole Burrow World dry?” Grimm asked in astonishment .
At this moment, there were huge batches of Soul Slaves from the Burrow World being loaded up on the transportation arrays and sent to the Holy Tower of the Seven Rings or the mysterious realm of Black Isotta almost on a daily basis . The numbers were astoundingly huge . These were exactly the fruits of pillage from hundreds of thousands of Bright Demon-Hunters and millions of their Soul Slave armies .
The Wolfspiders which used to terrify Grimm became the prized hunt of the sorcerers . Almost all of the Wolfspiders had gone extinct in the Wolfspider Burrow .
Naturally, the Demon Hunters were only interested in the powerful creatures or creatures that had special abilities . They were not interested in catching weak critters of the Surficial Tundra or those that were at the more shallow layers of the burrow .
“You’re not far off, where else would the infinite resources that the ancient sorcerers used to leverage the Sorcerer World come from?”
The Myna continued . “Since the world had no World Lord, there wasn’t any clash between the worlds . If not, from how I see the pillaging ways of the ancient sorcerers, it would take at least two to three centuries . ”
Two to thee centuries…

Grimm couldn’t imagine that if a small world that had no way of fighting back like this were pillaged by the hundreds of thousands of Demon Hunters for two to three centuries, they probably couldn’t produce a new World Lord for another few millennia .
The nature of the food chain, as well as the rhythm of evolution, would have to undergo some structural changes .
Grimm quietly pondered .
Grimm had earned almost three hundred Sorcerer Essences in this demon-hunting expedition . Including the rewards from Black Isotta’s special assignment, he would have enough to create an “eternal destructive energy measuring device” .
At that point, with two “eternal destructive energy measuring devices” cycling through his experiments, he would have more chances of stumbling upon things that could withstand the destructive forces .
His mission now was to expand his potentials and find some time to complete his research assignment plans .
In accordance with the plans of the sorcerer’s world, Grimm plans to include the “Shadow Energy Reversed Supply Digestive System” into the second phase of his chimera experiments in this expedition .
With the “shadow energy reversed supply digestive system” integrated into the chimera, it would have a certain ability to evolve and become a knowledge foundation for the completed ultimate form of chimera in the distant future .
As he thought about it, Grimm flew to the top of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus . He directed the crab to a relatively isolated hill a few hundred kilometers away from the Battle Command .
There wasn’t anything out of the ordinary in the Surficial Tundra around . Grimm nodded his head .
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh…
Grimm blew a hole in the frozen mountain range with fireballs . After knocking the stones with his Sabbatic Goat Staff, the high-frequency vibrations shattered the solid rocks into dust . A simple laboratory was thus complete .
Grimm went out of the cave and gave his orders to the huge crab . “Thousand-eyed Carcinus, guard this place, do not allow anyone to get near . ”
“Yes, Master Grimm . ”

Thousand-eyed Carcinus then burrowed itself near the cave entrance, blocking the whole pathway .
Grimm lit up a few magical lamps and hung them at each corner of the laboratory . He sanded down a few stone tables to be used as laboratory surfaces and got a few other things ready . After looking at the temporary laboratory which was now functional, Grimm nodded in contentment .
Slowly, Grimm took out some experiment specimens from the dimensional gap .
A crystal ball that housed a soul of the natural elements that had its will dispersed a long time ago . It was the natural elemental soul of the water crystal turtle that Grimm found by chance in the underground lake of the Shadow World .
As the demon-hunting expedition of the Shadow World was coming to an end, Grimm killed the Soul Slave that he had captured unexpectedly and took his natural elemental soul to uncover the secrets of the lightning mirror .
Now, the natural elemental soul had become one of the ingredients for the second phase of his chimera experiment after the shadow porcupine .
A bloodied heart that was still beating .
This was a Heart of Vitality discovered that Grimm chanced upon after he had slain an old monster of a sorcerer that had lost his mind in the metal castle of the Narrow World .
A few huge crystal jars of living flesh .
These were living cells that could consume each other that Grimm had been cultivating in the demon-hunting castle . After their host had died, these cells would consume each other to extend their lives . Grimm had been cultivating them using the blood and nutritional fluids that were collected during his time at the war in the Shadow World .
What’s left to do now was the carcass refinery .
The carcass refinery would have to be completed carefully and gradually by Grimm .
Since he is going to include a new “shadow energy reversed digestive system” in the new chimera, which was an enigmatic sealing spell, Grimm would have to execute some of the runes in the carcass refinery perfectly .
Else, it would be a great loss of his experiment ingredients if they were not perfectly executed .

There were a total of six energy nodes in the carcass refinery, two hundred and sixteen energy response nodes, seven thousand seven hundred and ninety-two energy collision response zones, and three million five hundred and thirty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-four basic magical runes .
Among the three million five hundred and thirty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-four basic magical runes, there were a further two hundred and seventy-three thousand and six hundred basic runes which need further modification depending on the living flesh .
What Grimm needed to do was to modify the two hundred and seventy-three thousand and six hundred basic magical runes after integrating the shadow energy reversed digestive system into the living cells .
It would take seventy to eighty years of work by gross estimation .
Grimm personally deduced that once the chimera had the shadow energy reversed digestive system, it would have the ability to cast the enigmatic sealing spell .
The advantage of this sealing spell was that once the chimera had successfully sealed another creature, other than gaining a certain strength from consuming the sealed creature with its living cells, it would also attain some features of the sealed creature .
In general, it was a powerful self-evolving ability that had a high degree of autonomy .
The disadvantages, however…
It was too early to say, but Grimm was certain about one . The enigmatic sealing spell would be nothing more than decoration if any sun of the world were to shine upon it .
In other words, it would take the night or a huge patch of shadows cast upon it for the chimera to be able to use this ability .
Grimm took a deep breath and calmed his mind down . He took out an enigmatic energy stone and ground it down slowly into powdered ink . He started to test the corresponding enigmatic energies against the basic sequences of the magical runes .
At the same time, from the crystal jars of living flesh, Grimm took out some of them to test the living flesh against the enigmatic energies to see how they would react .
This was the structured knowledge of the Dark Sorcerer’s occult code of life and death .
It was an attempt by the Dark Sorcerers to exceed the nature of the death of flesh creatures . They were playing the role of gods in the legends in their experiments to master life and death .
Life, is the blessing of the gods!
Death, is taking of wills by the gods!
The occult code of life and death, in accordance with the Dark Sorcerer’s pursuit of knowledge and ideals, were the occult knowledge of the gods!
But for the Elemental Sorcerers however, though they too attempted to exceed themselves like the gods from legends, they saw gods as the creator of the world, animator of creatures, creating something out of nothing, and had the ability to manifest the different principles .
Thus, Grimm started his second phase of chimera experimentation as planned in the simple temporary laboratory of the Burrow World .
His aim was to introduce an autonomous self-evolving ability that mimics the real creatures in the boundless worlds in the new generation of chimeras .
With this ability, though the chimeras were artificially created lives, they too would possess one of the basic qualities of a lifeform— evolution .
Evolve, understand, breed .
These were the definitions of the most basic qualities that the sorcerers have given to the boundless lifeforms of the endless worlds .
