Trying to transform Saintess Charlette's two hands into the sun is not an easy task.

With Mohe's current abilities, without reclaiming the essential part of alchemy, her actual alchemical skills are quite limited. Charlette's hands can't be considered top-tier material, as Charlette can regenerate such arms at any time, but their symbolic meaning is entirely different.

In divine art, there is something known as the "Silver Hand," said to "heal all things in the world." This skill is the most commonly used among high-level priests, and thus, their arms are imbued with this healing trait, possessing a portion of "divinity." Of course, they rarely use this divinity themselves. It can be said that most priests cannot even realize this aspect of divinity, Charlette being an exception, naturally.

Her state as a combat priest likely resulted from discovering this aspect of divinity and developing it, covering her entire body with the Silver Hand, making her physique more divine, leaping towards the realm of the gods... Of course, this idea isn't wrong but is somewhat imperfect.

In alchemy, symbolic meaning is an essential component, and Charlette's hands can be seen as a "symbol of a god bringing warmth to people." Thus, creating a sun could be approached from this symbolic angle.

This bears many similarities to the items used in the resurrection ceremony of Frodonick, so Mohe also chose the sunflower as another sun symbol. Alchemy, in fact, is quite fascinating; for instance, if you want to create a sun, excluding the sun's symbol itself, the result might not be what you imagine.

Is Charlette's arm a symbol of the sun, is a sunflower a symbol of the sun? When you use these two things to perform alchemy, is the resulting product truly an artificial sun?

The answer is not necessarily.

In the sunflower and the saintess's arms, the shared characteristic that could be extracted might be "soft skin." Depending on the creator's composition, what might be produced might even be human skin—this is precisely why many people in this world are so enchanted by alchemy; for those with a penchant for collecting and a love for mystery boxes, this allure is indescribable.

The Demon King is clearly one of them, and her pursuits in alchemy have this reason behind them.

Thus, anchoring the sun "symbol" requires some additional assistance.

For instance, the famed "Sun Crystal Stone." However, for Mohe at present, obtaining this mineral is quite challenging, even if Doro and others are sent to search for it, it would take a long time. So she made some substitutes herself, arguably using church methods to force the addition of "Solar Crystal Stone."

In some sense, it is the same as the saintess's arms, which can be seen as bypassing an alchemical loophole.

Furthermore, this crystal stone is used to fix the artificial sun's shape symbol, something Mohe's alchemical mastery can achieve; others would find it genuinely difficult to reach the same effect.

She also prepared many other materials haphazardly.

"Watch closely, all of you; being my subordinates but not understanding alchemy is truly disgraceful." Mohe stood before the large vat, requiring everyone in the mansion to learn alchemy, though these characters were powerful individuals, they had little interest in alchemy.

"When creating something new through alchemy, the most crucial thing is imagination, a realization. You must ensure that the materials you input can effectively achieve the intended outcome; you don't necessarily need to know the precise mechanics but must have a clear vision."

Doro looked puzzled, casting his gaze toward the one he believed smart, Lisidorwei.

Lisidorwei spread her hands: "From the beginning of our creation, Lord Mohe did not bestow upon our race the talent for alchemy. Members of my kin have researched alchemy in the past, but—when vampires study alchemy, they always tend to use their blood for alchemical transformations, ultimately turning themselves into monstrosities. They are then eliminated by others in the clan."

Is there such a thing?

While Doro was puzzled, Mohe nodded in agreement: "That's indeed the case. When I created vampires, I granted them wisdom beyond normal humans, but often this wisdom becomes the source of calamity. Some particularly gifted vampires, once they come into contact with alchemy, inevitably want to use their own blood as material. They naturally want to pursue eternity—after all, my eternity, in a sense, can also be considered a product of alchemy...but it's not just alchemy. If they manage to transmute their own blood again, they could achieve something like me, like perhaps extending life... isn't that right?"

"Do you mean to say there is indeed a possibility of success?"

Mohe nodded: "If vampires can refrain from using their blood for experiments, there is a possibility. However, no vampire can resist such temptation. The smarter ones would use their kin for experiments, often producing things that 'seem eternal,' and then in their eagerness apply them to themselves, only for things to quickly spiral out of control and mutation happens—weren't Lisidorwei's first two predecessors dealt with by me because of some events?"

When she mentioned this, Lisidorwei's expression turned incredibly sour. She remembered very well how the first and second-generation vampires were handled by the Demon King, a terror that she knew would be forever etched in her soul.

"Speaking of which." Mohe stirred the materials with a spoon, "Lisidorwei, the deal with Doro fell through, so I won't extend your life. Your recent activation of the Apocalypse and End Horn must have left you in a dire state, no?"

"This..."

Doro looked over and immediately asked, "Lisidorwei! Is this true?!"

"I... I didn't want you to worry."

Doro anxiously looked towards Mohe, who continued to stir the vat, "Don't look at me like that, Mr. Doro. Although I'm quite reasonable, the agreed-upon terms won't easily change. No matter how deep your feelings for Lisidorwei are, ultimately, Lisidorwei betrayed me, betrayed the Demon Race, and sided with humans—how can such sins be easily forgiven?

Even if I don't care, what about the deceased Demons? I'm, after all, the Lord of the Demon Race. Despite my ability to create demons—shouldn't I be responsible for them just as the glory of the gods descends upon humankind?"
