Chapter 580: Are You Insane?
"Which two?" Reid Watson seemed momentarily confused, but when he saw the look of dread on Anthus's face, his own expression changed dramatically. "Let's go... Let's go, we'll come back when Leon Merlin has time..."
Not long after, Reid Watson and Anthus left...
Truthfully, Leon really did have something important to deal with at that moment. All his attention was focused on that constantly pulsating heart—he didn't even notice Reid Watson and Anthus had come by...
That heart belonged to the Hydra they fought earlier today...
Not long ago, a bold idea had taken root in his mind: to implant the Hydra Heart into the Sky Rank Golem. Even Leon himself was startled by the thought—it was borderline madness...
Yes, it really was madness...
Even the mages of the magical golden age would be shocked by such an idea, because no one in history had ever tried it.
Still, the Hydra Heart was undeniably a treasure...
In Northend, there has always been a legend: the Hydra Heart contains boundless magical power, can grant immense strength, and even immortality.
Of course, Leon didn't actually believe those legends—they were just stories, after all.
He had heard that, historically, someone had indeed eaten a Hydra Heart and gained real benefits, but nothing as exaggerated as the legends. One thing was certain: the Hydra was different from other magical beasts. Its power was concentrated in its heart, not in its mana crystal...
What Leon wanted to do was use this heart to replace the Sky Rank Golem's power core. If he succeeded, the benefits would be unparalleled—the Sky Rank Golem would inherit the Hydra's strength and innate spells.
That would practically elevate the Sky Rank Golem's power to an entirely new realm!
He knew perfectly well it was a crazy idea, and the risks were huge, but once the thought occurred, he couldn't suppress it—he just had to try.
If it were the old him, he probably wouldn't have even considered it...
But now, he'd given the Doombringer Staff life, and his alchemy had reached the level of a Worldshaper. He felt he was finally qualified to try something new with the Sky Rank Golem.
In fact, not long after becoming a Worldshaper, his alchemy underwent a fundamental transformation. He suddenly realized the Sky Rank Golem was far more complex than he'd ever imagined. From a Worldshaper's perspective, this wasn't just any ordinary Sky Rank Golem...
One thing was certain: this Sky Rank Golem was anything but ordinary. At its peak, its power had reached at least Fifth Rank Sky Rank—what you'd call high-level Sky Rank...
It was almost unbelievable...
