Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 710
Chapter 707 The Golden Triangle and Eight Standards of Ultimate Magic
Within the capital city, Locke stood on a bustling street, beside a large chimney, gazing at the sky and shaking his head slightly. “That Smith guy even said I should regret trading the Apocalypse Stone to him.”
“And he was so foolish, scared off by a few words from Georgina the Witch. How could a Great Magic at the initial stage of the second ring, still in the unforged phase, possibly perfectly control destiny?” “Great Magic
is merely an asset, while destiny is the lifeblood of a world. A newly forged Great Magic is just a large asset. Even after four forgings, becoming a super asset in the future, the lifeblood of a world’s destiny, in principle, cannot be entrusted to Great Magic.”
Because super assets have the potential to escape.
Great Magic cannot control the lifeblood of a world; once it does, it is no longer Great Magic.
Wizards themselves would not strive in that direction.
Throughout the second ring stage, even in a medium-sized plane, this most basic world’s destiny could never be controlled by a wizard’s Great Magic.
So, we should seriously consider the principles and structure of Georgina’s Fate Weaving Machine, which can interfere with the principles of fate.
There must be something fishy and loopholes in it.
As a wizard, when encountering such a strange phenomenon that resembles ‘magic,’ one should remain calm and composed, analyze the situation, observe the enemy, and find the loopholes and weaknesses of the opponent.
As a result, Wizard Smith was frightened by the opponent’s so-called new textile science. Judging from the opponent’s magical pressure, Wizard Smith even showed fear and unease.
“Georgina is using the Storm Tower as a stepping stone to promote her new textile science at Bonifacius University,” Locke said. “Wizard Smith said that she harmed herself and benefited others. He was indeed foolish. Georgina is simply using Wizard Smith and the Storm Tower as free publicity, and even without paying.” “
To attract a large number of new students in the wizarding world to study in their new textile science at Bonifacius University.”
The current number of high-ring wizards and formal wizards in a certain category determines the present of that magical category.
And the quantity and quality of new students and wizarding apprentices will determine the future of that magical category.
Given the current number of high-ring wizards, the quality and quantity of projects and articles, and the completeness of the related infrastructure, this category of magic is absolutely not yet ready to become a first-level discipline.
Therefore, Bonifacius University intends to promote their new textile studies through the Silent Grail, hoping to attract more students to their new textile program in the future.
Locke pondered, “This machine of fate will also be my enemy in the not-too-distant future. So, it’s a good opportunity to observe their battles and find the flaws in their ultimate magic.”
“No matter how wondrous the effects of ultimate magic may be, one thing remains constant: ultimate magic is merely an ecosystem newly established in this world.” “
A magical ecosystem based on offensive magic. Wizards, by virtue of their status as agents of the world, make ultimate magic their second soul, thus one of their sources of magic.”
“Therefore, the strength of an ultimate magic is not measured by its wondrous effects, but by its energy conversion rate, energy acquisition speed, energy storage rate, energy conduction rate, whether its structure is healthy, and whether it has serious flaws or backdoors.”
Locke said, “This is the panel of ultimate magic, while its effects are its mechanism.”
Is the mechanism important?
Yes.
But the panel is fundamental.
Ultimate magic must first be a qualified source of magic before its mechanism can be examined.
Locke looked at the three ultimate spells in the sky; since he had nothing else to do, he could observe them from the sidelines.
The three immense spells—the celestial meteor and the Time-Shadow Fern—caused starlight to shimmer, the Land of All Spirits to constantly emanate demonic plant essences, and the Land of All Spirits to uncontrollably overlap with the mortal realm.
The Weaving Machine of Fate, on the other hand, exhibited a constantly vibrating spiritual network, radiating golden light like a divine city.
The magical pressure of these three immense spells was always earth-shattering, like the descent of gods and demons, or the divine realm descending upon the world.
But this was wrong. It was incorrect
.
Locke’s eyes flickered. “This is the energy dissipation of immense spells, isn’t it?”
The reason the Weaving Machine of Fate constantly released golden light and caused disturbances in the Fate Network was because the rules of weaving had dissipated, creating ripples in the rules.
Smith’s celestial meteor shone brightly, illuminating the night, but that was due to the dispersion of stellar power causing elemental tides.
As for Edgar’s Time-Shadow Fern, the Land of All Spirits always overlapped with a certain region of the mortal realm, which was also a sign of instability.
While to mortals this appears to be simply a display of power and might of the three great spells, Locke, a second-ring wizard, knew this was not the case.
This was a common problem for all newly forged great spells: system instability, ecological instability, and low energy conversion efficiency, leading to energy dissipation.
Not only them, but his own Moon of Evolution also suffered from the same problem.
It was said that the great spells of Sun Ring wizards were simple and unadorned, appearing as if they were a normal occurrence in this world, completely integrated into its larger ecosystem.
This was because the energy dissipation of Sun Ring wizards’ great spells was extremely low, essentially solving the energy dissipation problem. Therefore, the ecosystems they constructed, when integrated into the world, didn’t seem like something magical had appeared in it,
but rather like something simple and unadorned that had always existed in this world.
Similarly, the energy dissipation problem not only caused unnecessary consumption and waste in the energy cycle but also led to three other major problems.
First, flaws in control precision.
The Celtic leader’s great spells couldn’t precisely kill his intended target in the shallow sea plane without harming the world and other life within it.
Therefore, he couldn’t cast great spells.
Because the energy dissipation problem is so severe, wizards no longer have as much control over their ultimate spells, thus lacking the precision of ordinary spells.
Secondly, energy dissipation translates into energy chaos, which manifests in various ultimate spells.
Thirdly, the energy dissipation, chaos, and inaccuracy cause a decrease in conductivity, meaning too much energy is lost during transmission.
These three problems are interconnected and mutually reinforcing.
Besides these three major problems stemming from energy dissipation…
The upper limit of a Great Magic spell’s magic pressure capacity, instantaneous magic pressure output rate, and the stability and sustainability of magic pressure are also worth testing and monitoring.
“The magic pressure container for the ‘Celestial Meteor – Great Magic’ spell is actually a large demiplane group composed of 108 comet planes, located within the crystal wall system of the Prime Material Plane. These demiplane groups convert astral energy for Wizard Smith, storing magic pressure, so that’s the upper limit.” “
However, reaching the upper limit will take a long time. Furthermore, the demiplane group itself can convert the total magic pressure, thus expanding, which is why his ‘Celestial Meteor’ is so excellent—because the upper limit of the total magic pressure capacity can expand over time.”
“Celestial Meteor itself is an attack spell within meteorology, and the instantaneous magic pressure output multiplier is unimaginable.”
“In addition, this spell can utilize the existence of the Star Prayer to increase the upper limit of the total magic pressure capacity, the instantaneous magic pressure output rate, wait a minute.”
Locke noticed a problem. “If I’m not mistaken, the extraterrestrial meteor sends the chaotic energy, along with the meteorite, crashing into the external ecosystem—that is, this world. In this way, it reduces the energy dissipation of the entire system.”
“If that’s the case, using this mechanism and the existence of the Star Prayer, energy dissipation can be further reduced. Therefore, the power of the extraterrestrial meteor hasn’t been fully realized.”
“Wizard Smith still has trump cards.”
Locke looked at Edgar. “The eight indicators of ultimate magic are: 1. Instantaneous multiplication power of magic pressure; 2. Energy dissipation rate; 3. Energy stability; 4. Maximum capacity of total magic pressure; 5. Magic pressure compatibility; 6. Energy sustainability; 7. Ecological pollution; 8. Energy conversion rate.”
“Of these eight indicators, the three most important are energy dissipation, instantaneous multiplication power of magic pressure, and magic pressure compatibility.”
“These three form the golden triangle.”
This is because energy stability is relatively easy to address; even at its worst, there’s a limit.
There are also many ways to stabilize the energy within ultimate magic.
Sustainability and ecological pollution can also be forcibly ignored.
The maximum capacity of total magic pressure, generally speaking, won’t be too low once ultimate magic is successfully established.
Energy conversion rate is directly determined by energy dissipation rate and energy compatibility.
The higher the dissipation, the worse the energy compatibility, and the lower the conversion rate.
Therefore, we can directly look at the energy dissipation rate.
The only exception is the instantaneous multiplication power of magic pressure, which is determined by the spell model of the chosen attack spell in the ultimate magic.
The energy dissipation problem is determined by the construction of the ultimate magic.
Energy compatibility is the key issue. For example, if astral energy severely conflicts with the world’s laws, it will create a situation where the world resists energy from the outside.
This, in turn, increases energy dissipation and reduces energy conversion efficiency. Even if the external magic pressure input is large, the internal magic pressure of the ultimate magic cannot increase much.
Therefore, ultimate magic has three golden indicators: instantaneous multiplication output rate of magic pressure, energy dissipation rate, and energy compatibility.
Energy dissipation rate is the most important of these three golden indicators.
Below energy dissipation rate are three smaller issues that directly affect ordinary second-circle wizards’ use of their ultimate magic.
The greatest advantage of the Celestial Meteor lies in its excellent compatibility with the energies of the astral planes, as the astral plane itself provides energy to the various void planes.
Secondly, it has a unique way of reducing energy dissipation, and its instantaneous magical pressure multiplication output is very high.
Georgina the Witch’s Loom of Fate is similar; she utilizes spiritual energy and discovered that untangling the knots in the network of fate directly clarifies the energy flow network, thus adding energy out of thin air.
What she does is essentially weave for the world, patching it up, so energy compatibility is naturally good. The
instantaneous magical pressure multiplication output also appears good so far.
Overall energy dissipation is not high; however, the Loom of Fate occasionally experiences disturbances in the network of fate, causing golden light to overflow, so the actual energy dissipation level is not low.
As for Edgar the Wizard’s Shadow Fern, its energy compatibility is currently not bad. He introduced a large number of plant spirits from the Emerald Dream to construct a cycle of life and death, which does not conflict with the world’s laws.
Therefore, the energy dissipation is not very high. However, like Smith and Georgina’s ultimate magic, the energy dissipation problem is not solved during the life-and-death transformation of plants when the ultimate magic is running.
The initial stage of ultimate magic is complex, which itself increases the degree of energy dissipation.
Among the three golden indicators, the energy dissipation rate is the number one indicator.
It is the most noteworthy.
Edgar’s biggest problem is actually the instantaneous output multiplier of magic pressure, which is too low.
Therefore, his ultimate magic has the lowest combat power and the lowest potential among the three ultimate magics that have been released so far!
Locke said, “But the upper limit of the total magic pressure of the three is actually the highest of the Meteor Shower, followed by the Shadow Fern, and finally the Destiny Spinner.”
The Meteor Shower has an entire demiplane cluster that expands the upper limit of the total magic pressure, and the Shadow Fern’s Land of Ten Thousand Spirits is also a good place to bear magic pressure.
On the contrary, the Destiny Spinner’s total magic pressure is borne by a second-ring magic artifact spinning machine and the spiritual network formed by the spirituality of those mortals.
Its maximum capacity for total magical pressure can only be compared to that half-baked emperor’s mental network.
However, the maximum capacity for total magical pressure isn’t actually that important, which is why this indicator didn’t enter the golden triangle.
Even so, Georgina’s ultimate magic, the Weaver of Fate, has a considerable amount of magical pressure. Moreover
, to fully utilize magical pressure and convert it into magic in a wizard’s hands depends on your instantaneous output magical pressure multiplier, your energy dissipation (indirectly reflecting energy conversion, energy conduction, and energy stability), and your energy compatibility.
As for ecological issues, sustainability issues, and stability issues, those are separate matters.
The three are actually quite similar.
The worst case scenario is a meteor from outer space; the star power capturing mortal races would definitely be a form of destruction to the original world’s ecology.
Locke fell into deep thought. “Those wizards all see ultimate magic as an asset, but Golden Crown Mountain has a special definition of ultimate magic. They see it as an ecological phenomenon.”
“Generally speaking, the wizarding world values the Golden Triangle, but different wizarding academies and different wizarding lands place varying degrees of importance on the other five indicators. Golden Crown Mountain and the botanical wizards both place more emphasis on the ecological impact of ultimate magic.”
Locke summarized, “These three’s ultimate magic all seem to have problems now; their dissipation levels are not low. Edgar’s ultimate magic dissipates the most, followed by Georgina, and then Smith.”
“If I were Smith, as long as I calmed down, I could use Meteor Shower to suppress the Spinning Machine of Fate.”
“It’s not that his ultimate magic is weak, it’s that he’s not as strong as Georgina.”
Locke pondered, “In that case, there’s no need for me to intervene now.”
“Let’s wait until they decide the winner. Although my ultimate magic can be unleashed at any time.”
“At this moment, whoever wins or loses has no impact on the outcome of this competition. Because their understanding of capital is inferior to mine.”
A senior inspector in front of Locke bowed and asked, “Your Grace, His Majesty the Emperor has declared your Spiritual Order legal and requested that you spread it to all provinces throughout the world.” Locke
nodded, glancing at the three inspectors behind him.
The senior inspector smiled, “Your Grace, His Majesty the Emperor said that he feared you might be outnumbered, so he specially dispatched three colleagues to assist you. These three can serve as senior managers within the Spiritual Order, reducing your workload.”
Locke remained expressionless. “Understood.”
Clearly, the native emperor of this world was a master of political maneuvering; these three were not there to assist him, but to sideline him.
He had established the Spiritual Order for the emperor; once he had fully expanded and completed the organization, the emperor would no longer need him, only the Spiritual Order itself.
Unlike the Spiritual Order, Great Magic was the wizard’s second soul, so if this world needed Great Magic, it was equivalent to needing him personally.
The two individuals, the Great Magician and the Wizard, are inseparable; this is the superiority of the Great Magician system.
But the leader of this spiritual order doesn’t matter who’s in charge.
Clearly, the Emperor is already considering how to discard him after he’s served his purpose.
‘The most ruthless are those in the imperial family. Cooperating with the Emperor is like dealing with a tiger, so I’m too lazy to cooperate with this native emperor,’ Locke pondered. ‘The Emperor gave me a high-ranking, hereditary title to keep me in check, to give me the illusion that he allows me to exist indefinitely.’
‘But for this tyrant, even if I help him, no matter who I am, no matter if I’m truly loyal, he won’t allow me to exist indefinitely.’ ‘
This man wants to create a civilization for himself; besides him, there’s no one else in the world capable of doing so. He wants to be the emperor of the poultry pen, not the ruler of the human world.’
Locke looked at the Senior Inspector and said, ‘I have a way to accelerate our spiritual order’s work.’
The Senior Inspector immediately bowed respectfully to Locke. ” “Please speak,”
Locke said. “I want the Emperor to become the head of the Spiritual Order, and to order all citizens to join, and also command that their descendants be members.”
The Senior Inspector paused, taken aback. “Descendants are members?”
Locke chuckled. “Exactly. Once their parents join, all members of that family must join. Their children and descendants will also be members. Generation after generation, these people will respect the Emperor. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
The Senior Inspector’s eyes brightened. “But if His Majesty the Emperor is the head of the Order, then what about you?”
Locke asked the Senior Inspector. “I don’t need any official position in the Spiritual Order. I only need to manage it for the Emperor. The Spiritual Order is the Emperor’s property, always has been.”
The Senior Inspector looked at Locke with deep respect. “The Empire needs someone as loyal to His Majesty as you.”
“I will convey your opinion to His Majesty the Emperor.”
After these people left, the Gunslinger looked at Locke and said, “Is this the truth you said you would show me? Or is it to work for the Emperor?”
The young priestess said, “My lord, you should not question the gods. The gods must have their own purposes.”
Locke looked at the Gunslinger and asked, “You also entered the library, and you saw the gene lock system. Did I show you the truth?”
The Gunslinger was speechless. “That’s true.”
“So, people in this world can gain telekinesis by learning and unlocking the gene locks within their bodies. This is the innate superpower of us Gunslingers. As long as seven gene locks can be unlocked, one can obtain the legendary power.”
“I wonder how many gene locks the Emperor has unlocked.”
Locke didn’t hesitate much. “Eighteen gene locks.”
The gunslinger looked at Locke with a puzzled expression. “How did you know?”
Locke asked, hands behind his back. “I deduced it from the Emperor’s current total magic pressure and my understanding of the gene lock system. It wasn’t difficult for me. The entire gene lock system references the magic system of the Siming Waters.”
“But after reading the library’s contents, I’ve confirmed one thing.”
The gunslinger asked, “What is it?”
Locke said, “The gene lock system wasn’t the Emperor’s idea, and the oversight system and the mind network were definitely not his creation.”
“In your world, there exists a true oversight system, the designer of this empire, but his entire existence has completely vanished.”
“I haven’t found clear evidence to prove his existence yet. But I know the Emperor isn’t the creator of this world’s system, just a thief.”
Locke glanced at the horrified gunslinger and the young priestess looking at him with adoration, and said, “I promised to show you the truth of this world. Since I made a promise, I will keep it.”
…
On the other side, on the battlefield between the Emperor and Edgar, the Emperor currently held the upper hand, and with the help of the Spiritual Society, his empire was becoming more stable.
Thus, his total magical pressure continued to rise, his energy dissipation continued to decrease, and he released his suppression of the chosen ones of this world. As a result, the inspectors unlocked high-level gene locks one by one, and their combat power increased dramatically.
The emperor intended to use these chosen ones of this world to suppress the world’s consciousness in turn.
The emperor quickly heard Locke’s request and smiled at the senior inspector: “This man is quite sensible. Whoever he is, I will leave him a complete corpse after this is done.”
“I agree to all his requests. Also, I cannot be the president of the Spiritual Cultivation Society; he remains the president.”
The emperor is the emperor of the empire, and the emperor cannot hold any other position. Holding any title would be a demotion of the emperor’s status.
Within this mental network system, if he dared to lower his status, his position as the master of the mental network would become precarious.
Locke had known this all along, so he knew from the beginning that he would refuse to be the president of the Spiritual Cultivation Society.
Locke only wanted the emperor to agree to his request, so he deliberately created a veil of illusion.
The Emperor said, “However, it’s not just my people and their descendants who need to join the spiritual society. Their ancestors, their forefathers, must also join.”
The Emperor thought to himself, ‘This spiritual society is incredibly useful. Why didn’t I think of using religion to strengthen my position as the master of the mental network…’
‘Once it’s done, this person will be useless. It’s better to kill him.’
The Emperor turned to look at the wall behind the Imperial Hall, at the enormous portrait he had concealed with his mental power.
“Do you see? You are dead, and I am still alive. I am the final victor. Now I will use outsiders to modify the system you left behind.”
“I will prove myself! I can completely leave you!”
“The system you left behind has finally found room for modification. Those outsiders from the other world are truly clever.”
