In Cocus, the capital of the Duchy of Calais …
In the "Mind Garden", the demiplane connected to the magic tower of the headquarter of the House of Sorcerers, the light was changing all the time, just like a person's heart.
Atlant, the Eye of Curse, walked on the path of the garden that was half bright and half dim with his staff. His eyes were closed, and the expression on his face was as unpredictable as the light in the demiplane.
"Should I question Douglas why they hid the way to become a demigod, or should I just pretend that nothing happened?" He asked the question repeatedly in his heart.
As an authority who grasped people's minds, he could basically infer what Viken was up to. The "poison" was not on the surface but in the way to become a demigod. It was true that he did not need to do anything, because as long as he chose the path, he would drift away from the Congress of Magic sooner or later because of the contradictions of his beliefs and paths. He would join him, who had tremendous resources of faith.
After all, the Congress of Magic's philosophy was to eliminate the blind faith of religions with arcana and shake the foundation of the Church. It was absolutely impossible for them to support a powerful religion. The moderate religions that were split into several national religions were the most they could tolerate.
"This is truly 'poisoning' openly and irresistibly. As expected of the old monster who buried so many legends and established the Saint Truth after living for such a long time …"
As a matter of fact, from the communication in the meeting of the Highest Council earlier, Atlant had guessed what Douglas, Fernando, and Lucien Evans were thinking. They hid the specific details of becoming a demigod mainly because the path had too many hidden dangers. They could easily turn into devils that couldn't control their feelings. Also, they would encourage everybody to develop a religion in secret, which would destroy the atmosphere of arcana studies that had been established after a lot of hard work.
"Douglas is broad-minded and far-sighted. Also, with the dawn of demigods brought by the general theory of relativity, he wouldn't hide the secrets of demigods for his own interests. Fernando is hot-tempered, but he has always been passionate about arcana and the truth of the world. I don't think that he is interested in the way to become a demigod with so many hidden dangers …"
The Eye of Curse speculated what the two top legends were thinking based on their personality and mental state. It was almost close to the truth. "As for Lucien Evans, he is already level two of legendary before he is thirty. He has proposed many disruptive theories and founded the theory of relativity and the new alchemy, the two pillars of the current arcana system. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a top legend. The general theory of relativity will also give him hope to become a demigod. The new alchemy after further development should be possible too. Such a promising young man will definitely despise the path of demigod."
Only a few weeks after his return, Lucien successfully advanced into level two of legendary based on the achievements of the adventure, especially the status transformation that "Monster" Viken gave him and the thinking that the mysteries of immortality brought about by "Secrets of Immortality". He was one year ahead of Brook's record.
Lucien did not intend to report it at first, but because of the shocking intelligence from the exploration of the World of Souls, Erica and Vicente were rewarded with the right to choose two legendary spells or legendary rituals, Douglas and Fernando had five, and Lucien had ten. Therefore, when he was about to choose, he told Hellen about his advancement.
After analyzing the mentality and thoughts of Douglas and the rest of them, Atlant sighed. "Even if I ask them, they will probably give similar answers. Also, such an action will only make them wonder where I learned the information from and suspect that I learned the real way to become a demigod from Viken …"
He suddenly mocked himself, "Greed is indeed the origin of all evils."
Had it not been for his greed and his attraction to the path of demigod in his head, he would've confessed to Douglas and the rest of them and suggested that they explain it to the Highest Council so that the permissions could be set. But right now …
At this moment, Erica, 'Master of Transformation', came to visit and asked about the separation of Philibell.
"It's a bit tricky. Viken seems to have made some concessions and honesty. Even Philibell, whose faith has been shaken, has refused my persuasion." Atlant spoke his speculation honestly. As an authority in the field of illusions and psychology, he was naturally the one who organized such a mission.
Erica said solemnly, "As expected of an old monster. His reaction at such a moment is beyond our expectation."
"Such an old monster can never be killed. That's why he can set his sights on many years later and not care about the short-term benefits." Atlant said while thinking about his own concerns.
So far, the path had shown too many hidden problems. Therefore, he did not dare to try it recklessly. He said to himself, "Let's do some experiments in secret first to prepare the files …"
… …
On the seventeenth floor of the Allyn magic tower, in the Heredity Laboratory, Felipe, wearing a long black coat, was reading the journal 'Arcana' in front of him with a cup of hot water in his hand. His face was as sickly as ever.
"Lucien -Levski space … It seems that there is no big debate in the microscopic domain. The two new alchemy systems are just different aspects of the same model." Felipe took a sip of the hot water and read the paper with difficulty. Since the study of the soul involved electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic fields and special elements, and the body was made of various elements, Felipe was also concerned about the study of the microscopic domain and had been working hard on it.
However, after the introduction of matrix mechanics, the microscopic domain became very unfriendly. The arcanists who did not have a good foundation in mathematics often had headaches. The proposal of wave mechanics had somewhat solved the problem, but Lucien's arguments still made people hate the 'mathematical devil'!
Felipe had always been known for his expertise in mathematics among the sorcerers of the school of necromancy, which was also the reason why he had advanced so fast. However, in the past two years, his pride had been deeply struck. The papers on 'Nature', including the mathematical description of the general theory of relativity, matrix mechanics and Lucien -Levski space, were all so difficult and terrifying.
"But I can't give up the studies in mathematics and the microscopic domain, or the latecomers will catch up with me in the aspects of cells and genetics." Felipe said to himself gloomily.
He used to think that with a good magnification spell, the relationship between cells and heredity would be clearly displayed in front of him. However, after a long time, the progress was pitiful. He discovered chromosomes and guessed that they were related to heredity. However, everything stopped there, and there was no further progress.
This made him clearly feel that without the support of mathematics and the arcana achievements such as elements and electromagnetism, he could barely make any progress. If he wanted to make any progress, he had to wait for other people to finish the earlier work, or he had to learn, master and explore the field by himself.
Therefore, his research on cells did not bring him much feedback. However, his research on souls and the synthesis of undead creatures, which he did not pay much attention to, had improved his magic power to the eighth circle.
Now, the debate in the microscopic domain had disappeared after Lucien admitted wave mechanics. Felipe put aside his concerns for now and started to read Hathaway's and Hellen's research on crystals. Some of their previous experiments had given him some inspiration.
After skimming through the papers, he stood up and nodded at the senior-rank sorcerers in his own laboratory. Then, he opened the door of his own small laboratory and saw the plants, the red-eyed rats, and the moths in the boxes.
Now that he could not make a breakthrough based on magnification, Felipe could only find new ideas from the genetic phenomena of plants, animals and magic creatures. With the help of necromancy, he also tried to find out if some of the experiment subjects were inherited and how they were inherited. Unfortunately, the progress was not great either, because it would take a long time.
Squeak, squeak, squeak. The rats screamed crazily, and the colorful moths flapped the boxes. Only the plants were silent.
Feeling the noise, Felipe pinched his forehead and resisted the urge to destroy all of them. He cursed inwardly, "You're too weak.
He cursed, "Do I have to deal with them all my life?"
He was not a farmer but a butcher!
… …
In the Atomic Universe, Natasha returned home after her daily exercise. She saw Lucien sitting in the library in a daze.
"You didn't analyze the spells?" Natasha knew that Lucien was preparing to construct 'Luxury Cracking', 'Abrupt Reverse' and 'Mind Blast' in his soul after he successfully advanced into level two of legendary.
Lucien smiled, "No. I'm thinking about something."
"Why do I feel that you're struggling?" Natasha pulled a chair over and sat next to Lucien, looking at his eyes.
Lucien pondered for a moment and said, "I was thinking about the arcana theory that allowed Thanos and Viken to become demigods. I was trying to find their weakness from that so that Viken and the monsters would really perish!"
"When they became demigods, there was no arcana yet. They could only study it slowly by analyzing magic circles and methods …" Natasha said in confusion. She wanted to express her views on arcana, but she was not capable of it. "Demigods can't be killed, can they?"
Lucien shook his head, "They have their own limits and are not really immortal. That's why I'm thinking about that. Otherwise, even if we defeat Viken, he will still be able to return from the river of fate. By then, an unscrupulous and shameless demigod will deal a destructive blow to the Congress, the kingdom, and the people we care about."
"That's a problem, but the South Church seems to be able to persist for a long time. You don't need to be too anxious." Natasha comforted him. After learning that the God of Truth was Thanos, her belief in specific gods had been completely diluted. She only believed in the 'Lord' in her heart.
Lucien suddenly said, "Maybe one day, my 'theory' will make my teachers curse me, my friends turn against me, my students criticize me, and most people feel desperate …"
Although she did not understand why Lucien would say something like that, Natasha still chuckled. "Rest assured. By then, I'll be by your side to support you, as long as you don't mind that I don't understand your theory."
Lucien smiled and grabbed Natasha's hand, entangling their fingers.
… …
Holding his paper, Lucien walked in the corridor of the Allyn magic tower that was slightly dim in the morning. Then, he pushed open the door of his teacher's library.
The bright light inside was in stark contrast to the darkness. The inside and the outside seemed to be two entirely different worlds.
