Chapter 151

The Devil was stunned. It had been living in Mayer City for half a year, so it knew what a magic staff was. However, its instincts told it that its master's question was not a good thing, so it tried to bluff its way out of it.

"Huh?"

Adam wiped off the non-existent bacteria and walked out of the cloning lab. He repeated his question seriously, "Do you know what a magic staff is?"

"I …"

Adam continued, "A magic staff is a tool used by mages to assist in casting spells. Modern mages' magic staffs are made with alchemy knowledge, and they are usually engraved with magic circles that can increase spiritual power, magic power, Ether communication, and elemental condensation."

Adam did not say a word, and the Devil lowered its head. It knew that it was doomed, so it said, "Master, if you have something to say, just say it."

Adam sat down, and a chair suddenly rose from the air and held him up. He smiled at the Devil and asked, "After you advanced, the mutation of the virus cells will allow you to change into various forms, right?"

The Devil did not answer.

"If there is no problem with living creatures, then non-living creatures should also be fine, right?"

The Devil still did not answer.

"In other words, you should be able to turn into a magic staff."

When the Devil heard Adam's question, it could not help but wail, "Master, even if I can turn into a magic staff, it's useless. There is no magic circle in my body."

Adam shook his head and said seriously, "How can that be? I've already thought of a way. Recently, I've made some breakthroughs in the elemental transformation of cells and the derivation of the True Body of Elements. It's not a problem to engrave magic circles in your body. "

In fact, the Devil knew that its master would never speak without thinking. Since he had already found it, it meant that he had almost absolute confidence. At this time, no matter how it resisted, as long as it did not want to die, it could only obediently agree.

"Master, I won't die, right? …"

— — —

Of course, he wouldn't die, but the Devil had experienced enough of a life worse than death.

The mutated virus could be freely manipulated by the Devil. In theory, it could construct any shape within its body, including runes. However, the virus itself did not have any supernatural powers. The runes it constructed were only of the same shape and had no effect. Therefore, the task of turning a Devil into a magic wand was to complete the elemental conversion of the virus so that it would have supernatural powers.

In the early stages, they naturally couldn't test it directly on the Devil's body, so they had to cut the body tissue from the Devil. Because the virus would die soon after leaving the mother's body, this process had to be repeated countless times every day.

The Ether crystals were burned and catalyzed by Adam in batches as if they were free. For the next two months, the Devil could only stay in such an environment at all times. The virus cells thrived under the high concentration of energy to provide for Adam's countless cuts and separations every day.

This experiment was more or less the same as creating a virus. The difficult part was how to stabilize the virus cells after they had produced supernatural powers and proliferated.

After a period of stagnation, the daemons of the Sorcerer's World gave him inspiration and became the best reference for Adam. He bought many high-level daemons through the trading hall of the Holy Tower, and the strongest among them had even reached Level 7. After dissecting them, Adam found that the cells of the daemons could effectively retain supernatural powers.

After knowing this, Adam didn't even need to decipher their genes. He just needed to let the mutated virus devour a large number of them, and the virus' characteristics would naturally carry this part of the information after devouring.

It cost money, but it didn't take much effort. Adam liked this feeling.

But the Devil didn't like it.

Unlike the mutation in Garfers' body, the devil could only 'watch' as the tissues in his body collapsed and died, only to be regenerated again as if he was fed food. It felt as if he was going through the cycle of life and death countless times every day. If Adam hadn't blocked its sense of pain, the Devil might have already committed suicide.

But even so, the Devil was still in so much pain that it wanted to die. It was as if countless garbage were being planted in its body every day.

Now that the direction was correct, all that was left was to wait.

Unlike before, when it was effective and simple on ordinary creatures, the virus was especially difficult to replace on supernatural creatures. Adam was sure that the Devil wouldn't dare to go against his orders, but it was still very time-consuming to rewrite the information of supernatural genes.

Adam increased the output of Ether, not caring about the cost at all, and focused on catalyzing the virus's renewal.

Another month passed. When the newly added Ether crystals and the bodies of the daemons were all used up, the Devil completed the renewal of the virus.

Adam fished it out of the petri dish. The Devil was limp on the ground like mud. It could be said that it was now stronger, but it didn't have the slightest intention of experimenting.

"Master, is it done?"

The Devil muttered weakly. All kinds of elemental reactions were going on around its body. The Devil didn't even have the slightest intention of controlling it.

Adam thought for a moment and threw it back into the petri dish. Although the virus already had elemental energy, it was too heterogeneous. Adam's next step was to remove the excess elements, leaving only one.

This work only took a week. The Devil could now be regarded as a supernatural creature of the electric element. Its body was densely charged from the inside out, and every slight movement was accompanied by lightning and thunder.

"Then, the next step is to arrange the virus into a magic array, and then write a fixed form change information in it."

Adam was satisfied with the magnetic field. He bound the Devil in the air, and cut it open with an electric knife. Psychokinetic effects were used on the microscopic level, and the virus cells were arranged into runes little by little.

In addition to the magic arrays mentioned before, Adam also combined three magic arrays: Magnetic Field Amplification, Electromagnetic Conversion, and Electrothermal Conversion. These three magic arrays were combined. In this way, as long as he held the wand in his hand, the construction of several large-scale spells that required a long time would be greatly accelerated.

A day later, Adam let go of the demon. Under his control, the demon's form rapidly changed. In the end, it turned into a cane that was half the length of Adam's body and as thick as his arm. It was entirely blue in color and had lightning flowing through it.

Adam held it in his hand. The magic staff, the Magician's Armor, and his own energy formed a harmonious cycle. Without testing, Adam knew that with the magic staff, the power of his spells would exceed the limit of the first level and reach the second level.

"How do you feel?" Adam asked with satisfaction.

After the transformation, the Devil's will still existed. It could now be regarded as the 'spirit' of the magic staff. Under its control, the magic staff's ability to gather energy would be greatly improved.

"Master, as long as you are happy."
