Primordial magic surged in the narrow plane. Chen Ang held the resplendent ruby crystal in his right hand, and a powerful wave of magic burst out from the crystal. With Deepwater City as the center, it swept across hundreds of miles. The Weave in the void shook violently, but it was calmed by a powerful will.
However, the aftereffects of the magic wave would take a long time to disappear.
During this time, prophecy magic and divine spells would be disrupted by the primordial magic. Communication magic would be extremely weak, and it was almost impossible to cross more than ten miles. The portal had also been destroyed in the magic wave just now. Before the magic wave subsided, long-distance teleportation was extremely risky.
Considering Chen Ang's powerful control over space, as well as the surveillance of the Magus Tower, this level of danger was almost fatal. Within this range, those who had less control of space than Chen Ang had to pass Chen Ang's test before the teleportation took effect. If they failed, they would be punished by exile, spatial slicing, or even spatial destruction, depending on Chen Ang's will.
After the ruby crystal's magic power exploded, the brilliant light gradually dimmed. However, it was not a dull gray that had lost its power. Instead, it was more like a restrained light. It was not powerful, but extremely pure magic wrapped from the ruby crystal to Chen Ang's fingertips. It was a power that came directly from primordial magic, pure and powerful.
Halast felt the wail of the Weave. He seemed to see the arcane flames burning in the depths of the ruby crystal. This was blasphemy against Mystra. It was a divine artifact that was directly connected to violent primordial magic.
Compared to the Weave, it was weaker, fragile, and immature, like a newborn seedling under a towering tree.
One day. It would shake the throne of the Goddess of Magic, just like Shar's Shadow Weave. Because they were both great existences born from primordial magic. Halast looked at the crystal as if he was looking at a young god. Its nobility was far above that of mortals. Thus, it would not respond to orders other than its master.
Only Chen Ang could possess it. Only Chen Ang could command it. It was a divine weapon that only submitted to its creator. It was the Origin Crystal!
Halast stared at this great creation of the Arcane Mages in a daze. At this moment, even the mark that the Supreme Magic Ring had engraved on his soul was shaken. This was the supreme pursuit of a mage. Halast felt that in his soul, the arcane fire that represented the highest miracle of the Arcane Mages, was trembling. He instinctively sensed that there was something at the core of the crystal. It was burning the only complete Arcane Fire in the Main Plane.
Only Mystra, Shar's complete Arcane Flame was a gift from primordial magic.
"Great Master, please allow me to know its name!" Harast submitted to the glory of arcane fire and prayed devoutly. The name of the crystal would be his channel to communicate with the crystal. He could use it to use the powerful primordial magic. When casting spells, the number of Spell Slots he could use for each level. Will expand by + 2.
Furthermore, the source of its power came from the Divine Artifact Crystal, not the Weave.
Chen Ang had given him the mark of the crystal.
Silver threads spread from Chen Ang's right arm. The mithril threads, animated by magic, wrapped around the crystal, weaving beautiful silver patterns. Runes and magic symbols formed a long poem on the threads. This was a hymn to primordial magic.
The flowing silver threads. A dark silver short stick was woven at Chen Ang's fingertips. It was about two palms long, and the crystal was at its center. Crimson light was hidden under the mithril. Magic symbols and runes. The power of the crystal was woven. The pure power from primordial magic! Chen Ang held it tightly in his right hand.
As the power of the soul permeated …
Hum! There was a sound.
Crimson light spread from the crystal to the mithril stick. A clear red light appeared on the tip of the stick. Pure and powerful magic and soul power combined to form a blazing red blade of light.
This was a Sith lightsaber. It had the violent and powerful characteristics of the Force of this world, and it also contained the pure tranquil power of Chen Ang's soul. It was the tranquility from the darkness that calmed the violent characteristics of primordial magic, giving this weapon great lethality and unparalleled stability.
It was the representative of primordial magic and the crystallization of the dark and tranquil side of primordial magic (Force). It was gentle and violent, and its blade was unstoppable. Even the gods could not stop it. The person who held it would receive the favor of primordial magic and have a stronger ability to interfere with the mind, but they would also be attacked by the dark side.
It only submitted to its creator. Even though its creator was not immune to the attack of the dark side, if it was not its creator who held it, then one had to be careful of this weapon's constant temptation and betrayal at critical moments.
Harast presented Chen Ang with the nineteen One Rings scattered among the ashes.
The Three Rings of Gemstones that symbolized art and magic, the Seven Rings of Iron that represented power and blood, and the most complex, the Nine Rings of Bronze that represented power and desire.
"Power and desire!" Chen Ang played with a bronze ring, observing the world through the eye of the ring. The gloomy scene, the distorted outward, and the true ugliness and darkness. As expected of the most evil of the Nine Rings. It did not have the great arcane power of the Three Rings of Gemstones that came from the high elven magic, nor did it have the powerful destructive magic of the Seven Rings of Iron.
But among the nineteen rings, it was the most complex, the most evil, and the most adept at eroding the heart and soul of its owner. Its power came from the soul, and it also affected the soul. Its strength was not inferior to the other ten rings. It was even closer to the existence of the Supreme Ring.
"This is a ring that belongs to humans!" Chen Ang said with a smile, "It is the Ring of the King of Men, the Ring of Betrayal and Conspiracy, Darkness and Slaughter, Power and Desire. But it is not worthy of its name … "
"Why? Master, these rings are so powerful that they can affect the minds of the gods! They are no less dangerous than the Seri Sutra, and the power of the Supreme Ring is stronger than it. The power of the Seri Sutra originates from lies, but the power of the Supreme Ring originates from true greed. Truth always trumps lies! "Harast was puzzled.
"It is a ring of power, but it does not represent power. Without being tainted with ambition and madness, and the 'noble' blood infatuated with power, it cannot be considered a complete ring of power. Only a game of power can make it complete!" Chen Ang placed a bronze ring in Harast's palm and said with a smile, "Let it be stained with blood!"
Harast raised his head excitedly, his messy beard swinging across his face, but his eyes were still glowing with blood. "I understand, my master. Waterdeep City will only belong to you, master. "
Chen Ang shook his head. "It is not difficult to control this city, but it will not be easy to not attract the attention of the gods. If you have any methods, just say them. I know you are good at playing with power, "Chen Ang said slowly after a slight pause." Some words, if said too late, will kill. "
"The lives of others are also lives!" Chen Ang spread out his hands. "If it is not necessary, do not kill!"
He looked at Harast's beard that hung down to his chest. Harast carefully organized his words. He had regained his usual calmness and elegance, except for the madness in his eyes. He was like a noble in the council.
"Master … this is a great city. Its greatness lies in the fact that it does not belong to anyone. It is free, open, it welcomes anyone, and it does not belong to anyone. The council of sixteen lords manages and controls the entire city. Except for the mayor, the identities of the others are kept secret.
"They use masks to appear in public. Some of them know each other's identities, while others do not. However, the mayor of Waterdeep City knows the identities of all the lords."
For the first time, Harast showed a proud smile in front of Chen Ang. "I have witnessed the growth of this city, and even created it. I have enough influence over this city. In fact, there are two secret lords under my control. Their positions as lords even came from their adventures in the underground maze.
"They have obtained fame, wealth, and power, so they work for me, even if they are harpies or other forces on the surface. This power is within your reach. "
"Politics, wealth, conspiracies, and political allies. This game of power is extremely exciting. However, my Witch King, the rules of the game are things that others have to abide by. When you play chess with others, the smartest move you can make isn't brilliant chess skills. All you have to do is remove their chess pieces," Chen Ang said with a smile.
"The premise of all this is that you have the power to do so." Chen Ang sighed. "Do we? Shaman King? "
"The reason why those lords are lords is because they control the city. They are allies, and they are the city. Directly killing them will only cause the entire city to be destroyed."
"They are lords?" Chen Ang nodded. "Who can prove it?"
"The council of sixteen lords is very strict, and they have very advanced methods of identification. I don't even know the identities of some of them, Master!" Harast explained. "We can't replace them, and once we use assassination methods, it will arouse the reaction of the entire city."
"You're wrong! Shaman King. " Chen Ang shook his head. "Whether they are lords or not, the tokens can't prove it. Even what they say doesn't count. It is the opinion of the majority that decides it, and we are the ones who decide the opinion of the majority. "
"Who is the lord of the city? What I say counts! "
The sword of light danced in Chen Ang's hand, creating a beautiful galaxy. The red light was like a twisted galaxy and sunset in the sky, winding in the sky and transforming into a sky underground.
Harast was surprised by Chen Ang's superb swordsmanship, but he heard Chen Ang's clear voice in his ear.
"I hope to see the two lords after dinner, and a list of confirmed lords!" Chen Ang said in a low voice.
