Neherkato asked, "How do you plan to advance your pseudo-god power?"

"Let's have a ceremony to break the record."

"The most important part of the ritual is the ending of the era."

Nehercato: "Your promotion ceremonies are really chaotic. You have to change the ceremony every time you get promoted, and you always choose the most difficult ones."

Lu Cang and Neherkato chatted casually.

"After all, I am in chaos now, and chaos is beneficial to me."

“It’s dawn,” Izparut suddenly said.

Lu Cang pushed open the workshop door.

Sure enough, dusk rose from the horizon.

Izparut's head transformed into a black coal ball, and he donned a dashing trench coat.

"I'm going to the academy now."

"You may do as you please."

"Let that little one digest it first."

After saying that, Izparut's figure flickered and disappeared completely.

This workshop, which had expanded from a colorful space, has transformed into a tower filled with books, stacked layer upon layer to form a tower-shaped library.

Meanwhile, Lacey Bea was lying on the solid wood table.

He looked utterly hopeless.

You can almost see its soul has been expelled.

"Uh~~~~~~~~~~"

I'm going to die.

I don't want to study.

Why is it so difficult?

Lacey Bea believed that she had good aptitude and exceptional comprehension.

He can be considered one of the best among his generation.

After reaching an agreement, Izparut planned to give her a counseling lesson first.

But to my surprise, things were fine at first.

These are all basic things.

But then...

Things gradually started to go wrong.

What is this guy talking about?

It feels like they're talking about symbols I don't understand and theories I've never heard of. Before I've even grasped one definition or theory, they immediately jump to the next one.

The understanding of the next theory requires corroboration from the previous theories to be explained.

Then it began to talk about arcane arts.

Wait, isn't this the Summoning class?

Why arcane magic?

Lacey asked when she didn't understand, but the answer she received was: "This is also one of the theories of summoning, the prerequisite for the arcane transformation of summoned creatures."

"Having seen how I seized the summoning magic, you should know that summoning is not just about summoning creatures."

"And your two skills, 'Offer Strength to My Lord' and 'Crimson Undead Land'."

"Those also involve different areas such as transmission, life, death, and blood."

"After all, I am the master of multiple root secrets, and I believe I have a deeper understanding of them. If one wants to comprehend the root secret of a field, one must also have a comprehensive understanding of knowledge from other fields."

"Everything in this world is interdependent and mutually influential; nothing can exist independently of the influence of everything."

Izparut explained it this way.

At least, Laceybea could understand these few words.

But this was immediately followed by arcane theory, the construction of life arcane magic, and the summoning of life...

Just four hours of class left Lacey Belle feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

My head is spinning.

This was the first time in all its long life that it had ever had such a headache from listening to other people talk.

It's a demigod, you know.

Regardless of comprehension, supercomputers alone can crush human science in terms of computational power.

But he was overwhelmed by Izparut's knowledge.

"How are you……"

"Lassie Beya," Xin Jueyue asked with concern.

Lacey covered her forehead with her hand: "It's...it's alright."

As she spoke, Lacey Belle rolled over on the table again.

Although my mind is foggy.

But I felt a lot of clarity in my heart. Many things that I had never thought about or realized before, I suddenly understood.

Laceybea could even feel herself resonating with the divine position she was summoning.

"Isn't Izparut's progress too fast?" Xin Jueyue asked, sitting next to Lacebea.

"It is a bit fast."

"But it said that I will slowly digest and understand what it is saying over the course of a day."

"Actually, I'm starting to understand it a little bit now."

After Izparut left, Lacebea was still recalling what she had just learned.

Each piece of knowledge is like a key, unlocking different doors.

When these pieces of knowledge are combined, they can form new keys.

Open a bigger door.

Things that were initially incomprehensible can be understood in reverse after a little thought about them and the other knowledge mentioned later.

If it speaks slowly, guiding the reader step by step.

It might not have the same effect.

genius……

Lacey Bea had to admit that this guy was a genius in every way.

They don't seem like people from ancient times at all.

It completely transcends the constraints of its time.

Lacey covered her forehead and stood up.

"I should go to the academy."

"I'd like to attend their summoning lessons; perhaps that will provide more inspiration."

Nehercato: "I didn't realize you were such a studious student."

Lacey Bell retorted, "At least it's better than someone who's just born with a silver spoon in their mouth and has no ambition."

Xin Jueyue was caught between the two, sighing helplessly.

In truth, Xin Jueyue didn't know why she had come.

From beginning to end, I felt like I was just there to mediate the conflict between the two of them.

A mediator?

-----------------

【Magic Academy】

Almost all those who can enter the magic academy are beings who possess divine status.

For such beings, there is no distinction between day and night.

99% of the time, they have plenty of energy.

Izparut arrived at the academy in a flash, and when he reached the academy's main gate, there was still a long line of people.

Yesterday's battle did not dampen the enthusiasm of these pilgrims.

I'd be willing to wait for centuries just to get guidance from Izparut.

Izparut stood in front of the door.

Several people were selected.

"You, you, and you, come with me."

Whoosh!

The three people were teleported to a reception hall the next second after being selected.

The hall is filled with floating elements as decoration.

Izparut sat on the soft, comfortable sofa, his body melting into water.

With his legs crossed, he first poured himself a strong cup of black coffee.

It certainly doesn't need such a thing to refresh itself, but every living thing has its little quirks.

"Lord Izpalut..."

They were fortunate enough to be received by Izparut, and one of them was so moved that he burst into tears and immediately knelt down in worship.

"Don't worship."

Izparut flicked his finger upwards, lifting it up from a distance.

"Speak, what is it that you don't understand?"

"Lord Izparut, I am the Grand Mage of the Magic Kingdom of Temirat. I have devoted my life to studying star magic, but I have never been able to comprehend the mysteries of the stars."

"The most powerful and famous technique he has mastered is only the seven-star 'Ten Thousand Stars Fall'."

After hearing this, Izparut stirred the cup with a spoon: "The Fall of a Thousand Stars... Not bad magic. So it was you who created it."

"Few people study star magic; it is a kind of magic that draws on the power of stars."

"It is regarded by many people as a shortcut or a crooked path."

"But in fact, all methods have their reasons. For example, summoning is also a way of using external forces, but it is not criticized by people."

“You can tell me your understanding of star magic, and I will give you some advice.”

“I’ve also learned your Falling Stars spell, and I’ve made some slight modifications to it. I can show you.”

Izparut answered the questions without any airs.

He answered the magicians' questions as if they were ordinary students.

Cang Qiong was also in this room, but in a corner, leaning against the wall in the darkness, concealing his presence like a non-existent shadow.

The Star Mage shared his understanding with Izparut.

It considers itself to have dedicated its life to studying the magic of stars.

It's so profound that I could talk about it for three days and three nights and still not finish.

But whenever it paused in front of Izparut, Izparut would respond.

A slight hint from Izparut, summarized briefly.

This made it suddenly realize something.

What follows seems unnecessary.

What could have been a three-day, three-night discussion turned into a mere half-hour slump, leaving it with a sigh: "I have nothing more to say. You already know everything I've learned in my life, and you also know my pain points."

"My only request is that you show me the improved version of the 'Fall of the Stars' you described."

"no problem."

Izparut readily agreed.

In a flash, the foreign high mage was taken to some unknown desolate wilderness.

The foreign archmage had no idea how he had moved.

Teleportation spells generally require the recipient's permission to move them.

Forced movement without permission is an extremely difficult and complex form of magic.

The farther the movement distance, the higher the spell complexity.

Imagine...

Imagine how desperate it would be if the enemy found a death zone where no one could survive and teleported you there.

They can kill someone without even fighting.

And Izparut...

That has been achieved now.

Although I don't know exactly where this is, it's definitely not in the Peacock City.

"I'll demonstrate for you now, watch carefully."

"You might not have another chance to find me after that, so focus your attention."

The Star Mage swallowed hard.

He replied, "I'm ready."

Izparut nodded, and with a wave of his hand, stars rained down upon him!

【The Fall of a Thousand Stars】—>【Star Sector·Fall】

boom!

A rift has been torn open in the world, and a region of the astral plane has been directly pulled out by Izparut!

The myriad stars that existed within this astral region also crashed down along with the astral plane that was pulled out!

This operation.

The foreign monk's face twitched at the sight.

Its "fall of ten thousand stars" is achieved by using the power of the stars to create a physical projection of the stars, forming a magical phenomenon of ten thousand stars falling.

But Izparut...

They pulled down the real astral plane and smashed down real stars!

This... isn't right, is it?

Isn't that a bit too violent?

But suddenly—

It suddenly dawned on it.

"You mean... the power of the stars is not necessarily borrowed."

"It can also be obtained through other means."

"The magic of stars is not entirely a magic of borrowing power."

Izparut smiled and nodded slightly, but then shook his head: "That's part of it, but not entirely."

"But if you say it in too profound a language, it will lead you astray."

That's enough.

After saying that.

When the man came to his senses, he found himself back in his seat.

Izparut remained lounging on the sofa, holding a cup of [Black Coffee] in his left hand and stirring with a spoon in his right.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"Next."

"Lord Izpart, our country has been invaded by monsters... I was just trying my luck, but I never expected that yesterday's events would put me at the forefront. Meeting you today is perhaps fate's arrangement!"

"Please, please help me save my country!"

Izparut sighed.

"Since you have met me, it must be fate."

"Where is it? I'm going there now."

"In the northernmost mountains lies the Huan Gan Kingdom, a land of ice and snow stretching to the horizon."

"The monsters have been ravaging our country for a hundred years. At first, other kingdoms supported us, but as time went by... no other kingdoms were willing to interfere in our affairs anymore."

"We are desperately seeking reinforcements and assistance from powerful individuals. Please save us!"

It knelt down before Izparut.

He kowtowed repeatedly to the ground.

When I tried to look up and make a request, I suddenly realized that the scenery on the ground had changed.

The land is covered in ice and snow, with rolling icebergs stretching as far as the eye can see.

This is a land of extreme ice and cold.

On this frozen land, however, the landscape was filled with a dark, oppressive color. Countless armies of demons were advancing towards a vast kingdom in the distance, which had erected a magnificent barrier!

The sky and the ground were filled with a massive, dark army of demons.

Demigods are as common as weeds, demigods are as numerous as locusts, and there are also many powerful demons with the power of false gods.

"here it is?"

"Don't they even recognize their own country?"

Izparut's body had turned into ice, assimilating with its environment.

"My country?"

However, the City of Peacocks is quite a distance from here...

Even if you travel non-stop using the teleportation array, it would still take a day and a night to get there.

Izparut glanced at it: "The reason for the invasion..."

"Oh, there are broken rifts in the demon realm nearby... and quite a lot of them."

"They probably see this place as their first base for invading this dimension."

"It is truly commendable that they have persevered for a century."

As Izparut spoke, he raised his hand.

"Void".

boom!

In an instant, the void collapsed!

Everything collapsed and was swallowed by the void.

In a single encounter, it swallowed up the vast and endless army.

Only a few pseudo-gods with remaining divine power are still fighting with all their might against the void's devouring power.

but……

They are utterly powerless.

In just the second of resistance, they were completely pulled into the void.

bite!

In the third second, Izparut raised his hand again.

A magnificent seal was unleashed!

The huge rift contracted instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the passage was completely sealed.

The crack was repaired, and everything was completely restored.

"it's over."

"Do you want to go back to your country, or back to the City of Peacocks?"

Izparut snapped his fingers.

The void vanished.

The entire world was now just a vast expanse of ice and snow; the massive armies that had just invaded the distant kingdoms, and all the demons that had ravaged it, were gone.

"Is this...is this a dream?"

Two times.

So it was completely resolved with such a light touch?

“It’s not a dream, what you see is reality,” Izparut replied simply, taking a sip of black coffee.

The black coffee is still hot.

There is still warmth in this icy and snowy place.

"I want to go back to my country."

Izparut nodded, his expression showing a hint of approval.

The person didn't even have a chance to thank him.

But they discovered that Izparut was gone.

Whoosh!

Izparut returned to the room.

Only one request remained, from a male boarman.

"Lord Izpalut."

"Our country has been at war with other countries for decades, and the outcome has never been clear..."

“I cannot grant your request,” Izparut replied.

The boar-man stopped describing: "Why?"

Izparut: "I don't get involved in disputes between people."

“But, you just now…”

"Its country was invaded by monsters. Monsters are not human. I can take action."

"But I will not interfere in the struggle between people for power and territory."

"Unless, this is part of my job."

As the Grand Mage of the Peacock City, it is obligated to intervene if the city is invaded.

Work is work, and life is life.

Izparut: "Please go back."

Male boarman: "What if I offer more compensation?"

"Unless you can provide knowledge at the level of the origin of magic, there's no need to bring this up again."

Izparut didn't look at it.

Instead, he stirred the black coffee in his cup on his own.

The male wild boar tried to struggle and put forward other conditions.

clatter--

It discovered, however, that it had already arrived outside the academy.

Looking back at the college.

The college is surrounded by high walls.

It presented a scene of shutting everything out.

[Reception Room]

"What did you get from them?"

After the three left, Cang Qiong emerged from the shadows.

"I have gained magical understanding from the Star Mage."

"I witnessed a country that was invaded by monsters and resisted for a hundred years without giving up."

"It witnessed the struggle and greed between different races."

Izparut: "Very interesting."

"Sky, you are different today than yesterday."

“I can see light in you, no longer the darkness that is as deep as the swamp.”

"The light of last night was drawn by you."

Cang Qiong nodded: "Yes, it's me."

"I've been thinking about a lot of things, and perhaps it's right that we arranged to talk today."

Izparut: "I had an unexpected visitor last night. I haven't had time to study the things that were peeled off from you yet, so it may take a few more days."

Cang Qiong: "It's Luo Heng, Neherkato, Xin Jueyue, and Laceybea, right?"
