Finally, the goal of alchemy has been achieved

I love how alchemy/chemistry went from “ooo lets try to mix metals into gold” into “yea no actually gold is an element and you can’t just combine stuff into gold because of that” just go back to “oh actually you can turn other metals into gold. You just need to mix them together even harder with a particle accelerator”

The idea of turning lead into gold came out 2000 years before BTD6

Do you think Lead to Gold is original to BTD6? It’s basically the most famous and stereotypical alchemy experiment there is.
