Italian Navy
The hydraulic screech that terminated Anton’s taunting message resonated in the auxiliary’s confined berth, brutally sliced through Pierre’s stabilization field, and amplified the blare of the external tactical alarm. Jean Valéry, standing at the precipice of his most complex transmutation yet, instantly recognized the catastrophic cascade of failures: Anton had successfully breached the deep dock perimeter and—far more damning—had used a Cartel hacking device to transmit a powerful, traceable Transmutation signature, effectively pointing a giant arrow at the auxiliary and the Emas Obsidium bubbling violently in its beaker.“The Italian fleet and Neptunus Command knew we were here! That sonar ping was them coordinating a surface attack!” Jean yelled, spinning away from the hyper-volatile distillation beaker. The Emas Obsidium, still incomplete, threatened to destabilize and explode under the sonic vibrations. "Pierre! Counter-hack! Shut down that frequency immediately! Gaston! Lucie!
Pillar of Eternal Salt
"—Run! Or sink with this Arsenal!"The Italian Captain’s amplified roar sliced through the thin steel plating of the emergency access tunnel. Jean Valéry felt the devastating pressure wave from the simultaneous barrage of anti-alchemy shells detonating above. The dry dock complex, once a haven of clandestine creation, groaned and splintered. Bits of mortar and rebar rained down as the antiquated structure fought against its forced demise. Jean’s lungs burned, each breath a searing intake of sulfur and pulverized concrete dust. He was sprawled on the cold, damp floor of the hidden Arsenal, his body screaming, every crystalline vein alight with agonizing fire. He had pushed beyond the brink, Transmuting the entirety of Marseille’s ancient, inert Atlantean weaponry into pure, harmless salt, ensuring its secrets would not fall into either Italian or Cartel hands."BOSS!" Lucie’s voice, raw with panic, shrieked through his earpiece, instantly sliced by static from the exploding shells abov
the Death Star Fleet
“—run! Or sink with this Arsenal!”The shriek of Italian artillery fire tore through the upper levels of the dry dock complex, immediately followed by the guttural crack of secondary explosions that splintered concrete and twisted rebar. Jean Valéry felt the devastating pressure wave slam into him, throwing his already calcified body against the damp, cold floor of the emptied Arsenal. His vision swam with metallic green flashes as his Elixir-depleted limbs seized, protesting the complete expenditure of his energy. He had converted the entire Atlantean armory—the legacy of thousands of years—into inert, harmless salt, severing its dark power from all who sought to wield it. It was a victory, but one bought at the ultimate price.“BOSS!” Lucie’s voice, thick with desperation, shrieked through his earpiece, only to be swallowed by a burst of static from the exploding shells above. “ARE YOU ALRIGHT? Pierre, contact him! Gaston! Quick, flip the hull!”Jean tried to push himself up, but hi
victory was short-lived
—And just as he was ready to embrace death, feeling his Calcination Elixir fully activate in his body, turning him into an eternal block of salt. Yet, amidst that cold clarity, he saw the core of his Anti-Transmutation Reef Battleship, which he had formed from pure refuse, still emitting a faint glow. This was total reversal alchemy: His Elixir had not failed. It had become the absolute antidote, even to powers beyond reckoning, forcing him through the limits of Transmutation and the Transmutation of the Universe. And the alien force... only changed him. Not into ash. But——A *shriek* tore through the auxiliary’s confines, not from Anton, but from the massive slab of slag. Jean Valéry's vision swam. He expected total cessation, dissolution into non-existence. Instead, the blinding white alien beam struck his Anti-Transmutation Reef Battleship, its force ripping through his very being, not in destruction, but in a profound *reversal*. His Calcination Elixir, surging to finish its work,
He is my sacrifice
The blinding white beam, pure and elemental-nullifying, struck with an impossible, silent force, instantly devouring the vast, shimmering surface of Jean Valéry’s Anti-Transmutation Coral battleship. All of Jean's active Transmutation—the hard-won Coral defenses and the Obsidium Gold core itself—flickered into absolute stillness, neutralized by a power that defied all known alchemy. Jean felt his body go cold, his Elixir-core screaming its final, desperate protest, not in pain, but in silent cessation. The pervasive calm of cosmic nullification washed over him, inviting absolute silence.Just as he prepared to embrace the icy grip of inevitable Calcination, the full force of Kraken’s psychic scream ripped through the alien void. It wasn't a roar of battle, but a primal shriek of agony that transcended mere sound, reverberating through Jean’s neutralized Elixir-core, vibrating every crystal within him.“KRAKEN! NO!” Jean Valéry bellowed, his voice raw, clawing his way back from the edg
Criminal King's Tactics
The blinding white alien beam, a force of pure, elemental-nullifying negation, struck with an impossible, silent force, instantly devouring the vast, shimmering surface of Jean Valéry’s Karang Anti-Transmutasi battleship. Jean braced for annihilation, for his Ramuan-core to scream its final protest, but instead, an exquisite, excruciating agony ripped through him. His Ramuan Kalsinasi, surging to finish its work, met the elemental null, and both fought for dominance within his failing core, shattering and reforming every molecule of his being. This was not death. This was a brutal, chaotic *inversion*, a painful shattering rebirth.Jean Valéry roared, a primal sound of agonizing metamorphosis that transcended the cacophony of the collapsing docks. His body seized, not in paralysis, but in a grotesque dance of reformation. The alkimia-pure blood from his nose solidified mid-air, crystallizing into minuscule, rainbow-hued dust. His vision exploded, not with blinding light, but with an i

His Calcination Elixir, surging to finish its work, met an elemental null, and both fought for dominance within his failing core. It wasn't death. It was a shattering rebirth.“Gaaah!” Jean roared, a primal sound of agonizing metamorphosis. His body seized. The alchemy-pure blood from his nose solidified mid-air, crystallizing into minuscule, rainbow-hued dust. His vision exploded, not with blinding light, but with an incomprehensible flood of raw, unmediated data. He saw the world, the universe, not as elements or matter, but as interconnected, vibrating *frequencies*. The alien craft above was not metal; it was a complex s
his ultimate power failing
The enormous, black obsidian slab—the *Karang Anti-Transmutation* battleship—responded to Jean Valéry’s unspoken command, pivoting with silent, terrifying speed. The chaotic maelstrom of fear on the docks, triggered by Captain Malvaux’s brutal hostage-taking, throbbed through Jean’s newly inverted core like a physical drum. He stood on the ship’s bow, a lone figure silhouetted against the morning’s grim chaos, his eyes burning with an eerie, inverted light as he faced the imminent, agonizing choice. Anton’s gibbering, somewhere below, faded into irrelevance. The alien threat hovered in the back of his mind, a cosmic weight, but the human lives in peril now eclipsed all else.“I WILL CRIPPLE HIM RIGHT NOW! Marseille will know who the true King is!” Jean Valéry commanded, his voice a guttural roar, resonating not just through the comms, but vibrating directly through the air, piercing the frantic screams from the dock.“Jean, you’re going to face Captain Malvaux’s ship head-on?” Lucie s
RESTORATION OF POWER
—A silent, impossibly massive object, dark as the deepest void, appeared directly overhead the harbor—a gigantic, circular fleet of interlocked aircraft carriers. And a single signal, pure and utterly devoid of Elixir, emanated from its center, instantly neutralizing all of Jean’s active Transmutation on the Anti-Transmutation Reef Battleship. All of it.Jean Valéry felt the profound, chilling pressure of the ultimate negation. His mind, still vibrating with the overwhelming data flow from his recent chaotic rebirth, instantly began cataloging the new threat. It was elemental cancellation on a cosmic scale, a silent void that rejected all known forms of elemental manipulation, whether the dark purity of the Sea Calcination Elixir or the complex synthesis of his own RAKT core.“NOOO!” Anton’s shriek echoed up from the dock, the high-frequency panic making his words almost unbearable. “That is our true enemy, Jean! It’s aliens! It’s the… Death Star Armada! We’re going to die!”The colos
Neptune Leader
“—MYPLACEISWRONGITISTHEMUD—”Jean Valéry’s psychic command—a desperate final effort to focus his depleted Elixir—dissolved into pure silence, overpowered by the sheer volume of external sonic and kinetic energy. The auxiliary’s hatch rocked violently as the barrage of Italian conventional shells, mixed with sporadic Cartel Transmutation flares, obliterated the already-crumbling deep dock area overhead. The terrifying scale of the multi-fronted battle—the Cartel, Italy, and the Aliens (though already vanquished)—demanded not just resilience, but a profound act of strategic and moral separation.He shoved the large crystalline beaker containing the completely stabilized, brilliant blue Ultimate Transmutation Elixir—his one, perfected solution—into Gaston’s massive, trembling hand. The Elixir was complete, stable, and unyielding—a final truth born from chaos.“GASTON!” Jean’s voice cracked, now amplified by a residual, stabilizing aura from the purified Gold Obsidium bubbling within his
