Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

Chapter 328: Chapter 192: The 3-Spiral Doll_3

There was even knowledge of the most outrageous things, like artificial souls, all of which came from information previously transmitted by the Wise One.

However, this knowledge only provided a name and a general overview, without specific operational methods.

As for the things Alka himself designed and constructed, once placed in a puppet, it could emit an aura similar to that of a soul under Lucilia’s deliberate control.

The Bloody Team Banner could only acknowledge it while holding its nose.

When the scarlet aura had almost entered the puppet and initiated it as a Toucher, Lucilia, suppressing the banner, pulled it back, detaching it from the puppet’s arm.

The bloody aura entwined around the puppet completely merged into its body. At this point, the Blood and Flesh Veins within the bloody puppet, along with the Energy source Alka had installed at its core, were fully activated and intertwined.

”Did it succeed?” Lucilia’s soul asked, panting.

Forcibly suppressing the banner was too exhausting.

Regarding Lucilia’s question, Alka neither shook his head nor nodded but furrowed his brow, staring at the puppet in front of him.

He still couldn’t be sure and was conducting the final inspection.

At this moment, the puppet’s exterior had completely solidified into that of a Puppet Girl, possessing an almost entirely human-like body.

It stood on the tabletop, Magic Power emanating from within.

Feeling it was about right, Alka looked at her and said, ”Magic Power control.”

With the command issued, the Puppet Girl immediately opened her eyes, her brown pupils sparkling like diamonds.

”Yes,” a somewhat mechanical voice responded.

The emanating Magic Power was controlled and hidden.

Seeing this, Alka raised his hands. Threads of Magic Power surged from his fingers, touched the Puppet Girl, and he began inspecting her meticulously, inside and out.

Finally, a smile appeared on his face.

”It’s completed. This shell has become a Toucher.”

Finishing his words, Alka turned toward Lucilia and said, ”Now it’s your turn. Proceed to the final step.”

Lucilia nodded. Her soul returned to her puppet shell, and she approached the Puppet Girl.

The banner armband on her arm glowed faintly. This time, a very dense scarlet aura flowed like water from her palm.

It then transformed into a scarlet tornado, completely engulfing the Puppet Girl.

With the Rotation, the scarlet aura completely surged into the Puppet Girl’s body.

Energy began to gather. The bloody aura etched itself onto the Puppet Girl’s shoulder, where an emblem of crossed swords appeared.

A scarlet thread extended from the shoulder all the way to her waist and abdomen.

During Alka’s inspection, the Magic Power within the Puppet Girl’s body began to rotate, then absorbed surrounding Magic Power, entering its body and converging into Spirals of Magic Power.

One Circuit after another appeared.

Finally, three Circuits emerged within the Puppet Girl, forming from the inside out.

”Did you give her the sub-leader position?” Alka asked.

Lucilia now controlled the banner. Alka was almost fully aware of the effects of the 67 positions in the Knight Order.

The sole sub-leader position allowed the Toucher who obtained it to elevate their strength to a level almost on par with the leader, only slightly inferior.

Lucilia’s current strength was at Three Spirals, so the Puppet Girl’s strength would also elevate to Three Spirals, only slightly inferior to Lucilia.

Correspondingly, a Squad Leader’s strength would be at Two Spirals; at this stage, they would be at a level nearing a breakthrough.

Then came the team members, who would be almost at One Spiral, not yet having completely broken through to Two Spirals.

But this came at a cost: these members would lose the ability to improve their strength independently through Meditation.

Their Magic Circuits would solidify, controlled by the banner’s Controller, with no ability to absorb external Magic Power to continue Circuit condensation.

They had to elevate their strength entirely in tandem with the leader, who was the Treasure’s Controller.

As the leader’s strength increased, they could better control the Treasure, absorb massive amounts of Magic Power through it, and feed this Magic Power back to the other members.

Every improvement in the Controller’s strength resulted in a corresponding enhancement in these team members’ strength; their own cultivation was ineffective.

For gifted Touchers, this could be considered a disadvantage, while for those without talent, it was naturally advantageous.

But for puppets, this was completely irrelevant. These puppets inherently lacked a soul—a complete soul—and thus could not independently cultivate.

They possessed no innate ability for independent cultivation; genuine Circuits were a combination of soul and flesh.

And now, with the puppet’s soul replaced by the banner, this inability to cultivate independently was naturally not a drawback for them.

”I want to try and see if the strongest position can forcibly elevate this puppet’s strength,” Lucilia said.

After all, a puppet’s peak strength was Two Spirals, an unavoidable consequence due to material limitations.

After all, the materials they currently had on hand were entirely sourced from purchases in the Homeland Sea.

However, with the materials being forcibly elevated once more by a strong Magic Power infusion, it could only be said that a Treasure was indeed a Treasure.

Though forcibly elevated, in regular usage and battles, it would definitely be inferior to materials that could inherently reach this stage.

If better materials became available later, it would be best to upgrade the puppet’s hardware.

”Since it’s completely feasible, let’s start writing now, bestowing her true capability to act,” Alka said.
