Description: A cup that seems to have no substance. The cup is filled with green liquid. No matter how you pour it, the liquid in the cup will never be empty.
Note 1: "Please do not drink the liquid in 012 at will. After testing by researchers, after the creature drinks the liquid in the cup, the body will return to a younger state, but the soul will gradually weaken and transform into 012. nourishment"
Note 2: "According to the research of the alchemists in the academy who are proficient in spiritual body refining, 012 has a deep connection with the spiritual world. If someone can completely control 012, then he will be able to enter the spiritual world anytime and anywhere and travel at high speed."
Note 3: "012 can be used as a medium to accommodate the spirit body. The spirit body of any creature can be transferred to other bodies through 012. However, this operation is difficult to perform. Firstly, 012 is difficult to control. Secondly, it is rejected by other bodies. Success The probability is low. If you can use this to change your body repeatedly, as long as the soul strength is high enough, even a mortal can have an unlimited lifespan."
Note 4: "After research and investigation, 012 originated from the ancient Elf Empire Yarheim. It was the result of the fusion of the tea cup of the Elf King Frey and a small piece of divine fragment of Wotan, the Lord of the Spirit World.

.........
Counting Plisson, Nuo Ling, Ellie, Lorgar, Selemira, plus Jerend and Jolina invited from the Grand Duke of Bellween.
There is a total of one old god, three divine saints, and three saints on Pleasant's side. This lineup is shocking enough no matter where you look. But in this operation in Providence, Pleasant But I can't guarantee whether I can succeed.
Just because their opponents are so powerful that it is hard to predict. Vlad, the ancestor of the blood race, Adam, the fallen prophet, and Ouroboros of the Alchemy Society are almost all powerful beings close to the new gods in the world.
There is also a Pillar of Reason whose true strength is hard to predict, as well as those members of the Garden of Eden who are at the saint level.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current defensive strength of Providence will definitely not be weaker than that of Columbia and Ludancam, or even Deucalion where Francis I is sitting.
Although he was not completely sure, Plisson had to give it a try anyway.
Relying on Lorgar's secret disguise, the group of them successfully entered Providence.
According to the contents of Klein's second letter, Pleasant led everyone to an alchemy workshop in a remote street.
Plissen took the initiative to open the door and enter. This alchemy workshop is not big, and it only sells some basic alchemy mixtures. There is no one in the workshop, and the person guarding the shop is an alchemy puppet with the appearance of a Jolsa. .
"Welcome, do you want to buy anything?" The alchemy puppet asked the people entering the workshop with a smile, making a mechanical voice.
Plissen glanced at the alchemy marionette, and based on the content of the letter, turned to Selemira next to him.
"Ms. Selemira, come on."
Selemila nodded. She walked up to the alchemy puppet, raised her left hand slightly, and the disguise made of secret runes was instantly broken.
She picked up the top hat she was wearing and blew lightly into the hat. Several small birds in spirit form instantly appeared from the hat, flew towards and merged into the alchemy marionette.
After a few soul birds entered the Alchemy Marionette, his mechanical movements and expressions changed somewhat, as if he had come alive.
"Everyone, please wait a moment, Mr. Klein will be here soon."
The alchemy puppet cupped its hands towards everyone like a human being, and the sound it made was no longer mechanical, but more like a human voice.
"After being integrated into the ectoplasm, it becomes completely new. This level of mimicry technology is far beyond the reach of ordinary alchemy marionettes. It seems that Klein's alchemy craftsmanship level is still rising." Selemira said with emotion.
Everyone waited here for a while, and the door of the alchemy workshop was pushed open by a figure that Pleasant was familiar with.
It's just that the image of this person is not the alchemy marionette that Pleasant had seen before where Klein lived temporarily, but another person that Pleasant had seen.
The current number 12 in the Garden of Eden is Icarus, the "Void-Winged Serpent" of the Alchemy Society.
When Icarus opened the door and walked into the alchemy workshop, not only Plisson, but also Nuo Ling and Ellie, who had seen him at the altar of the Desire Cult before, also changed their expressions.
Just as the atmosphere gradually became tense, Selemira on the side suddenly spoke.
"Klein, you are finally here."
After hearing Selemila's voice, "Icarus" smiled slightly.
"Nice to meet you all. I feel it is necessary for me to re-introduce myself to you." "Icarus" walked through the door and walked slowly to the alchemy marionette.
I saw "Icarus" gently patting the alchemy marionette's head, and then "Icarus"'s entire body collapsed, as if it had become an empty shell.
Then the alchemy puppet who was patted jumped out of the counter on his own initiative, with the same look and expression as "Icarus" just now.
"I am Klein Smol. I have been using the body of Icarus during this period. Because of this, I was able to obtain detailed information about Providence." Klein used the body of the Alchemy Puppet. said.
"Perhaps due to the situation, I needed the disguise brought by the identity of Icarus, so I may have conflicted with the person next to Mr. Pleasant. I hope you can forgive me."
"...It's okay, we understand." Ellie recalled the previous fight with Icarus at the altar inside the Desire Sect, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"If your spiritual essence is solidified to such an extent and you can freely change your body, even at your peak, you may not be able to do what you are now." Selemira looked at Klein, with a hint of worry in her eyes. "You shouldn't be able to accommodate the fragment of divinity in 012."
"Ms. Selemila, you are right. This is the only way I can make a comeback." Klein's tone was calm, but the look in his eyes was extremely firm.
"So far, the result is not bad. At least I'm still alive, right?"
Selemila has been staring at Klein's forehead. In the eyes of an alchemist, this is the most critical position of the human body because the human spirit resides in it.
"No one can contain the divinity of the ancient god. Even a small fragment of it is beyond the limit that the saint can bear."
"I know this better than anyone, but I can't help it. I have to take this step." Klein patted his forehead bitterly, his spiritual body self-alchemy doll riddled with holes. appeared above his head, and in his increasingly illusory spirit body, a cup-shaped object was clearly visible.
"I have changed too many identities and escaped for too long. Now I have escaped enough and hidden enough. It is time to make some changes."
"If you want to make changes, you have to pay some price."
"This is the only chance for me and us. Even if I die this time, I have to bite off a piece of meat from the Ouroboros' neck!"
