As for resolving Angel’s wish, it’s quite simple.
The Alchemy Golem reached out to take the copper mirror floating in front of Olao, an action that visibly caught Olao off guard, his expression still with astonishment.
But soon, Olao lowered his head and stayed silent. Then, his body slowly turned transparent and finally disappeared into the copper mirror.
After Olao and the copper mirror had become one, the Alchemy Golem tossed the mirror towards Angel.
Angel instinctively reached out to catch the copper mirror.
At the moment Angel touched the copper mirror, his body suddenly stiffened, even the action of retracting his hand became slow, jerky, like a mechanical arm.
This isn’t to say there’s something wrong with the copper mirror... no, the copper mirror has big problems. Not that the copper mirror itself has negative issues, but it itself has big issues...
Angel’s thoughts were chaotic at this time, all tangled up.
But no matter how chaotic his thoughts, Angel understood Augustine’s intention.
This was a direct and naked temptation!
Angel looked up at the Alchemy Golem beside him, the Golem still smilingly watching him. That smile was like an old fox that had set bait, waiting for the fish to bite!
The expression of an Alchemy Golem being so profound shows that if his true body were here, it would certainly be even more scheming than this Alchemy Golem!
Angel’s inner complaint couldn’t be heard by Augustine. After all, no matter how powerful, he was merely a strand of consciousness attached to the Alchemy Golem.
However, seeing Angel’s "complex" expression, along with his stiff movements, Augustine knew Angel had fallen for it.
The temptations for an Alchemist are none other than three things: extremely rare materials, a prototype with immense potential to develop in countless directions, and a trace of mysterious true essence.
Now, these three temptations converged within the copper mirror.
The main material used to make the copper mirror is identical to that of the "Twinborn Mirror," which can reach the extreme due to its vital connection with the main material.
And this main material originates from something incredibly mysterious. Augustine can ascertain that the entire Wizards’ Realm wouldn’t have a second piece of this material.
When Augustine refers to the Wizards’ Realm, it includes not just the Southern Domain, but also the Eastern Realm, Southern Domain, Western Lands, Northern Territory, and the Origin World.
Furthermore, none of the worlds Augustine visited over the years, including worlds similar to the Wizards’ Realm in high energy, had similar materials.
So, the main material alone is the ultimate temptation for Alchemists.
Augustine personally polished the prototype without damaging the traits of the main material, making it more capable of accommodating other materials or other types of energy: such as inscriptions, enchantments, secret ceremonies, soul patterns, and even as a core of mechanical alchemy.
A rare prototype that can be fully developed according to an Alchemist’s ideas!
The two items above were already the dreams of Alchemists, and the most precious part of the copper mirror was still Olao itself.
Olao wasn’t actually a mirror spirit; he and Adigu were born from the mystical main material as spirits. Augustine shaped the prototype into a mirror form, thus it became a mirror spirit. But this prototype could be further refined, and if there’s a way to shape it into a "Door," Olao could also become a door spirit.
Everything depends on the polisher’s will.
Typically spirits can’t transform so freely, but Olao could because it contained mysterious true essence within him.
Mysterious true essence is a term Augustine created himself.
In simple terms, it’s a mysterious seed. With a mysterious seed, Olao can ascend to become a Mysterious Spirit.
If Angel is the most potential-laden human Augustine has seen, then Olao is the most potential-laden spirit.
Potential is only a generic term for expectations of the future, but it doesn’t mean it’s an empty promise.
In Augustine’s words, everyone has potential, but the potential stocks that caught his eye are currently only Angel.
...
It’s undeniable, Augustine’s strategy is simply too captivating.
Angel felt something unusual when holding the copper mirror.
However, Angel is someone who’s experienced, no matter how unusual, it wouldn’t leave him so stiff that his movements became jerky. Back then, when he saw the Origin of Chaos at the boiling gentleman’s place, Angel was able to maintain composure.
This time why he couldn’t hold it was because, at the moment he touched the copper mirror, his chest suddenly felt slightly warm.
And what’s on his chest?
—The Eye of the Sky!
Angel always carried the Eye of the Sky with him, so when it underwent a change, Angel sensed it immediately.
The Eye of the Sky is the "culprit" that brought Jon to the Wizards’ Realm, extremely mysterious. To Angel, it might even be a projection of some grand, intricate entity from high dimensions in the Reality Realm.
It usually appears insignificant, and no one can detect its anomaly, not even Legendary Wizards like Frost or Observer.
But is it really ordinary? No!
Could an Eye of the Sky that feeds on "plane fusion" and "world convergence" be ordinary?
Angel has experienced two instances of plane fusion, both disrupted or ’devoured’ by the Eye of the Sky. One instance even transpired within the Abyss, through a channel connecting to the Wizards’ Realm, across a world, the Eye of the Sky swallowed the plane fusion.
Could an ordinary object achieve this?
Undoubtedly, the Eye of the Sky is not ordinary. But apart from plane fusion, nothing else could trigger its anomaly.
Now, this rule has been altered.
Although the Eye of the Sky merely warmed slightly, without further anomalies, this peculiarity was enough for Angel to take it seriously.
Angel didn’t know which part of the copper mirror invoked the Eye of the Sky, but this already indirectly indicated the copper mirror’s extraordinary nature.
