He searches for the card that could aid him in this predicament. Since he doesn't want to kill Heracles and dares not destroy the enchantment aura on the armor directly due to potential fail-safes, he needs to use the card that is safest for this situation.

Flavor text: "Between dimensions, power grows. What was lost returns, but forever changed."
Then, a scene unfolds that could even break Pride's composure, along with all the people on the building who are witnessing this spectacle.
"What!?" The onlookers on the building exclaim in alarm as the power.
A space surrounding the man in red armor tears apart, affected not by the power of space but by the power of the dimensional void within it. Then the space shows signs of shifting, as if a blade had cut through calm water, before quickly settling as if nothing happened.
All of this occurs within a few seconds before returning to normal.
Clank…
The red armor falls to the ground along with cloth and hundreds of talismans inside it, now lying uselessly on the street. This is the only evidence that the people can discern that something happened to the man in red armor.
"What happened!? What kind of magic is that!?" Gluttony utters in disbelief.
Pride nods then adds, "Time and Space, the two most fearsome magic types, and he can use them at will without bothering with bothersome rituals and lengthy preparations. Who's his magic teacher?"
"Yeah, I wonder if he has two Origin Elements like you and Golden Scale, and if two of them are Time and Space. That's why he can easily use all of those crazy magics." Gluttony agrees and offers her analysis.
Reflecting on the moment she witnessed Daniel decimating her Sanctum Sanctorum and transforming a section of it into material for his use sent a shiver down her spine. It was the most terrifying thing she had ever witnessed, even more so than seeing Golden Scale in action.
Daniel walked towards the red armor before summoning a large group of Metal Scarabs from his universal pocket to stand by. Then, he placed his hands onto the concrete at the side of the road.
"What is that guy doing?" Gluttony uttered as she watched curiously, wondering about Daniel's next move.
Suddenly, a bright light illuminated the area as the alchemy formula circle brightened up, and the roadside had already transformed into a type of tempered steel that Gluttony couldn't identify, but certainly wasn't normal steel or iron.
"What!? Was that Alchemy!? No, it should be ancient Alchemy, the lost knowledge of Alchemy!" Gluttony exclaimed in surprise at the scene. f reeweb novel.com
Of course, the core principle of Alchemy in the Curtained World is to transmute one substance into another, like turning stone into gold. However, the Alchemy known to the Hightower is a creation of the Middle Ages and differs from the ancient Greek alchemy.
Modern alchemy adheres to scientific rules, such as chemistry or metallurgy, to some degree. Hence, turning normal stone into gold is considered impossible, as stone is just rock, and gold is a metal. The Hightower alchemists can easily turn Mercury and Platinum into gold, while more powerful ones, like Lord Stenmark and the Alchemont Clan alchemists, can transmute Copper into Gold. As long as it's metal and not too complicated.
Ancient Alchemy, created by Hermes, the god of alchemy, possesses greater power than the human-developed alchemy of the Middle Ages. However, it demands significant potential from the learner to effectively master this lost art. As gods cannot manifest in the current mana environment of the modern world, and alchemists skilled enough to teach ancient alchemy are exceedingly rare, it has been deemed a lost art since the world entered the Renaissance era.
This is why Gluttony was utterly shocked when she witnessed Daniel casually transforming roadside concrete into an unfamiliar metal.
On Daniel's side, he directed the metal scarabs to utilize the transmuted metal to construct a sturdy box. After completing the construction of this robust unknown metal box, he instructed them to gather the red armor, place all its parts into the secure container, and then store the box within his Universal Pocket.
Subsequently, Daniel employed the Metal Scarabs to tidy up the area, collecting all the scrap metal from the destroyed blade drones and storing it in his Universal Pocket.
After completing all his tasks, Daniel checked the time and observed that there was approximately half an hour left before the clock struck 3 am. Aware that there is some time before Heracles' return, he decided to return to the executive meeting room.
Having witnessed the havoc Daniel was capable of, the Kuroki gang no longer dared to maneuver around the situation. They quickly admitted their wrongs, obediently accepted any Syndicate Union punishment, and agreed to all the compensations Daniel had demanded.
No one dared to argue with him, even the formidable Onmyoji who had been turned into mincemeat along with their Oni who in the right mind would dare to do so.
Tetsu found a way out by committing Seppuku, and the Kuroki Gang agreed to pay ten times the compensation to Kato and his family after returning all of Kato's money. In exchange, the Syndicate Union would leave the Kuroki gang alone.
Realizing that their gang was at its end, the Kuroki members accepted this resolution, preserving their lives and their families' livelihoods, along with some remaining funds to sustain them for a while before the gang officially disbanded. The members would be absorbed into other gangs.
As for the dock worker who betrayed Kato, being an insignificant character without significant wealth to compensate for the damage, The Syndicate Union swiftly and silently dealt with him. In response to the substantial harm he caused to the Syndicate Union's reputation, the dock worker vanished without a trace. Of course, The Kuroki gang happily took on this task since they have a chance of venting their anger on this unfortunate thief.
After the meeting concluded, Daniel found himself waiting at a nearby bus stop, where he employed the 'Planar Shift' Spell card on Heracles. With just a minute remaining until 3 am, several Syndicate Union executives offered to escort Daniel home, and the branch manager even permanently gifted him the hotel's sole penthouse suite.
However, Daniel had already utilized one of his conversion cards to transform the penthouse into a location where he could draw mana. Fortunately, the penthouse was situated near the sea, providing a Water element.
Contemplating this, he wondered if he would become the type of player who predominantly uses Water, countering others' spells and continually drawing more cards for additional counters. He recalled a tester who played that way during game testing.
As Daniel pondered these miscellaneous thoughts, Pride joined him under the bus stop's roof. The rain fell lightly, not enough to soak people but sufficient to create a chilly atmosphere for those walking the night streets.
Pride inquired, "What are you waiting for, Magitek?"
"Waiting for my friend," answered Daniel.
"Huh? You have a friend here?" Pride asked.
Before she could inquire further, she sensed a shift in space, and a large, muscular man about 2 meters tall appeared out of thin air. The dimensional void power lingered within his body, making him stronger than before. The man wore his old, specially sized ancient Greek cuirass (Author Note: The muscle armor). He was none other than Heracles.
"Ah! You've returned! Do you want to rest first, Heracles?" greeted Daniel, while Heracles still seemed confused about the current situation.
Hearing the voice of his one and only lord, Heracles quickly approached and knelt down.
"There's no need, my lord. First of all, I must apologize for causing trouble for you," said Heracles earnestly.
"Wait... You remember what you did?" inquired Daniel.
"Clearly, my lord. While I'm in that armor, I just can't control my body. I only felt rage and an urgent need to vent that rage. So, when I was released, I directed my rage toward those mindless machines so that I wouldn't harm you, my lord."
"What... What did you say!? You're Heracles!? You're joking, right!?" Pride was surprised and unconsciously blurted out her thoughts.
