These three illegal forces all rely on living alchemy. They are extremely harsh on themselves, undergoing a near-death transformation through a formation to become a member of the faction. As a result, these three forces have few members, but each one is an elite.

Now, what Noland Lee has to face is not the sloppy Blackbone Hermit, but brutal, ruthless, utterly inhumane and diverse illegal alchemists.

Scared?

Scared my ass…

With the “Death Two Finger” in his possession, he’ll slaughter as many as come his way.

These illegal alchemists’ extraordinary abilities sound difficult to deal with, but not a single one of them can escape a fate of a sudden death after experiencing violent damage.

Noland Lee’s real challenge isn’t to instantly kill his opponents, but how to prevent his enemies from escaping.

The machinery factory that appeared on Sublevel 60 of Sector 6 is much larger than the one in the Savage Stone Wasteland.

From Sublevel 60 to Sublevel 80 of Sector 6, all of it is the factory area of the machinery factory, which occupies the southeastern region of the Fissure Corridor.

For such a huge machinery factory area, did the Re-forged Association on the surface not notice?

Hey, who said this machinery factory area is an illegal facility?

Although it has been occupied by the alchemist faction of Black City, it is not an illegal facility.

The so-called “Aberration-breeding machinery factory area” is different from the machinery factory that appeared in the Savage Stone Wasteland.

The machinery factory in the Savage Stone Wasteland was purely constructed by the Blackbone Hermit, a genuinely illegal facility.

But in this Fissure Corridor, the Aberration-breeding machinery factory area is actually just a component part of the “Universal Metal Powder Collection Device”.

It wasn’t constructed by the illegal forces in Black City.

Its true builders were the group of alchemists who built the wall around the Aberration Den underground 30 years ago.

In addition to building the wall, they transformed the underground layers from 60 to 100 in the Fissure Corridor into an enormous machinery factory cluster for Aberration-breeding–accelerating the production of Universal Metal Powder–and for collecting and storing Metallic Dust.

From Layer 60 to Layer 80 underground, it’s responsible for breeding Aberrations and accelerating the production of Universal Metal Powder. This area is known as the machinery factory area.

From Layer 81 to Layer 90 underground, it’s the energy supply area that provides energy and power support for the machinery factory area.

From Layer 90 to Layer 100 underground, the colloquial term here is Black City. Its little-known official name is the “Universal Metal Powder Storage Area”, with dual functions of storing powder and spraying the powder to the ground level.

Before Noland Lee’s first descent underground, Kent repeatedly warned him not to get in touch with the alchemists in Black City.

Kent mentioned some rumors at the time.

He said:

The illegal alchemist factions in Black City are likely planted there by the aboveground alchemist factions on purpose. Controlling the underground metal dust collection device equates to providing more leverage for the alchemist factions on the surface.

Kent also said:

Many of the illegal alchemist factions in Black City were participants of the wall-building exercise 30 years ago. After the wall building concluded, they accepted the appointment order from the Alchemy Cathedral and were stationed underground long-term to maintain the collection devices. These people later rebelled and confronted the Alchemy Cathedral, relying on the collection equipment they controlled.

Now, combined with the memory fragment at hand, Noland Lee is sure that the rumors Kent mentioned are not without basis.

Because the Split Demon Society, Steam Supremacy Society, and Alloy Skeleton Society, these three alchemy societies, have indeed participated in the wall-building mission.

The two Blackbone Hermits that were instantly killed by Noland Lee, had heard the Gold Bone Alchemist brag about the events of that year more than once, narrating with vivid detail.

It should be known that after the Gold Bone Alchemist liberated from the shackles of the flesh, their lifespan is extremely long. Living for 30 years is a breeze for them.

Therefore, the Gold Bone Alchemists who chatted and boasted with the Blackbone Hermits should indeed have participated in the wall-building mission.

According to them, they agreed to maintain the underground powder collection device for the Alchemy Cathedral because the latter promised to deliver sufficient living alchemy materials every year.

But who knew, the Alchemy Cathedral began to shirk their responsibility from the first year and never sent any living alchemy materials.

Over time, the conflict intensified, and the people like the Gold Bone Alchemist who were overseeing the underground alchemy device broke with the Alchemy Cathedral.

They seized full control of the powder collection device and threatened to destroy all devices, forcing the Alchemy Cathedral not to dare to send people down to clear out Black City.

After reading these memory fragments, Noland Lee generally understood what the Alchemy Cathedral was up to.

Just like dividing forces into Gang Sects and Companies, the Alchemy Cathedral divided the alchemists involved in living alchemy into two, separating them into the Life Essence Society on the surface, and the Black City Alchemists underground.

The Life Essence Society started with living alchemy. To this day, they’re completely done with using living humans as alchemy materials and have shifted their focus to studying Magic Beasts.

But look at the alchemists in Black City, each one of them involves living alchemy, and each one of them is obsessed with living alchemy involving human bodies.

The “Living Alchemy Materials” they mentioned, without giving much thought, Noland Lee knew that it certainly meant living humans.

The Alchemy Cathedral was established at the end of the Golden Dynasty, witnessing the process of the dynasty’s downfall and the rise of the Aberrations.

At that time, in order to deal with the ten Aberration fissures all over the country, the Alchemy Cathedral had to unite all the forces they could unite, tacitly allowing the existence of Alchemists performing living alchemy involving humans.

Once the wall of Union City was completed, the work of “getting rid of the donkey once all the grinding is done” began.
