Chapter 31
The magic that Zeus just cast should be the most basic one. The process is very simple. He called on the magic power, tried to simulate the properties, constructed a pseudo-light structure, and then accumulated power to launch it.
Everyone present could see the foreshadowing, and the process was perfect, but why was the result so amazing? He didn't seem to have used much magic.
Everyone looked confused. They turned around and saw that the building opposite had been pierced. They didn't know how far the attack had gone. The effect of this magic was comparable to that of high-level magic.
Oral was thoughtful, his eyes full of intense curiosity.
Xius himself was also shocked. He had expected that he could at most hit the simulated target, but he didn't expect that he would destroy the house at once.
His current magic power value is only 78, and he just used 10. No matter what structure of magic he uses with this amount of magic, it won't be able to produce the effect of high-level magic, right?
Xius was a little confused.
The gray cat really wanted to catch the little white bird and "educate" it at this time. It asked you to add a buff to your father, but didn't let you add such a strong buff.
The little white bird tilted its head, as if it didn't understand what was going on. Of course, the brighter the light, the better!
Orlor turned around and said with a smile, "Great! You are worthy of being the student chosen by Master Matros. You have an extraordinary talent for magic."
Hughes paused, "Really?"
But he felt that what he had just felt was not a talent, but an enhancement from something else.
Aolor understood his doubts and analyzed: "The magic power you called upon was not enough to cast high-level magic. At that moment, some other force must have amplified your magic."
Xius was surprised, "Other powers?"
Orlor raised a hand and pointed to the five rings on his fingers. "For example, if I use 10 magic power and add the 100 magic power in the magic ring, I can use intermediate magic."
"You were able to use advanced magic because you had additional power at that moment, and the conditions for using advanced magic were met."
Hughes understood it immediately: the law of conservation of energy.
Orlor continued to explain: "But this also means that your magic structure is very solid, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the sudden increase in magic power."
Xius was surprised: "Is my magic structure... solid?"
"yes."
As he spoke, Orlor turned around and demonstrated again, stretching out his hand to summon magic power and forming a magical structure in the palm of his hand.
At first, the structure was stable, but as he injected more magic power, the structure gradually became unstable. The magic power leaked out like boiling water, and then it really exploded.
Hughes understood it at a glance.
Orlor explained, "Look, if the structure is not stable, your magic will explode like this. So, no matter where the power just now came from, one thing is beyond doubt, that is, your structure is very good, Mr. Hughes, you have a talent for learning magic."
Xius was stunned. It seemed to be the first time that he was praised for his talent since coming to the other world.
After all, he was not there when Matros said this before, so he didn't feel much. Now that he was suddenly told this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But what was that sudden force?
As if Zeus had thought of something, he looked down and met the gray cat's gaze.
The gray cat looked at him obediently and gestured with its claws.
Zeus understood immediately. It turned out to be the buff given to him by Palde in the illustrated box. The child had just been born. Could it be that he knew how to use power so well?
Zeus was surprised, but it was not the first time he created a genius cub, so he got used to it after thinking about it.
It is a good thing if your own children are strong. Only when they are strong will they not be bullied. Then they can help the weak who are bullied within their ability.
He was unconsciously looking forward to it, and after sensing his mood, the little white bird flapped its wings happily, as if it was very honored, and even puffed out its chest.
The little black bird next door saw this and stamped its feet in envy, thinking, "When will my father use his dark magic if I do that?"
Divine power and magic power are not in the same system. Their properties are somewhat different, but they are both energy in essence. If they want to replace them, it is just a matter of thought.
However, it is easy to transform divine power into magic power. You just need to extract the divinity inside and then change the structure. However, it is extremely difficult to transform magic power into divine power. Not only do you need an efficient and feasible transformation structure, but you also need to attach divinity to it. Just think about it and you will know that it is not easy.
As a god, the little white bird has knowledge flowing in his mind. He can do whatever he wants to do. The use of knowledge is as simple and natural as breathing. In fact, he has no cognition of the difference between divine power and magic power.
At this time, Orlore said excitedly: "Mr. Hughes, come with me again."
He was a little excited, and looked like he was obsessed with research, like a mad scholar.
Xius really likes people who are passionate about a certain field, so he smiled and said, "Okay."
The magicians present watched them come and go, standing there in a daze, some of them still not able to react.
So what was the magic just now? !
Most magicians are geniuses among humans, and geniuses in magic must be geniuses among geniuses.
Is Mr. Hughes really an extraordinary person? He is indeed the one that Grand Master Matros has chosen!
Several young magicians reacted and suddenly felt as if they were witnessing the rise of a legend. They were so excited that they followed.
This time, Orlo brought Xiu Si to the research institute to do some tests.
If the system was normal, Zeus could see his various values, but his system had been broken for too long, and only a few values were displayed. After Olor said this, he realized that he didn't necessarily need a system to know his values, and he could also do relevant tests in the real Magic Research Institute.
Olore really gave him a wake-up call, although he himself didn't seem to care much about the numbers.
During his high school years, Seuss had a lot of trouble with math. Sometimes he would get a headache when he saw numbers. He preferred graphics to mathematics and often preferred to use graphical solutions to math problems rather than doing algebra.
In this world, numbers are an important way to measure oneself, and it’s never a bad thing to have some reference and understanding.
Olore hurried in, which of course startled the magicians at the institute.
They were confused and didn't know why Oral brought Hughes in.
"Teacher Orlor, you are..."
Orlol explained it to them excitedly. They were puzzled at first, but after a few minutes they also looked at Hughes excitedly.
"Mr. Hughes, this way, let's test it quickly."
Xiusi is well-known in the Magic Association, and many people know his name. He calls himself Isius, and some people simply call him Xiusi.
The gray cat stared at them coldly and complained in his heart, "You guys, don't look at my father like that!"
But Zeus's friendly aura easily attracts some outgoing guys.
Xius looked at the scene inside and asked, "What value do you want to test?"
“Spiritual power.”
Orlor pointed to a large experimental crystal that was three meters high and one meter in radius and said, "Come and try it. Put your hands on it. I think your mental strength value will definitely be very high."
Before he finished speaking, the researchers all looked at Hughes, their eyes full of curiosity.
"It's the first time I used magic, and the structure is so solid. Mr. Hughes's mental strength must be extraordinary."
"Structure is the art of stability. The more stable the spirit, the better the structure created."
"Yes, so most powerful magicians are mentally stable people. Ah, except for some, their magic systems are not very conventional."
They are friendly people, and you can see that they only have research in their eyes.
A young researcher with twin ponytails and freckles on her face came over and said in a friendly manner, "Mr. Hughes, this way. This is the research institute, which is full of cursed items. Be careful not to touch them."
Xius nodded, and as he was walking over, he turned back with a bit of worry, "I remember that I seemed to have broken a crystal ball during the last test."
Orlor said "Oh", "You mean the time when Xili gave you a test? Sorry, the crystal balls used for testing are generally of poor quality and are easily damaged. This crystal ball is different. It was made by the great magician Alison."
The lady with twin ponytails was named Fushan. She had a pretty face and couldn't help but smile when she heard the name of Elinson. "Teacher Elinson is a master of weapon refining. One tenth of the high-level magic weapons in the empire are made by Teacher Elinson. As the guardian of the empire, Elinson guards the empire day and night and never forgets to improve her magic. She is a legend among our magicians."
This was not the first time that Xius had heard the name Elinson. He knew that Elinson was the empire's top-ranked great combat magician.
The reason why actual combat is emphasized is because there are also theoretical magicians to contrast with it.
Theoretical magicians are similar to theoretical mathematicians and physicists on the Blue Planet, and are mainly responsible for magic and various mysterious theoretical research.
A practical magician may also be a theoretical magician, and the two do not conflict with each other, just like some doctors on the Blue Planet who have superb medical skills and have also made achievements in academia.
Zeus admired such people very much, because he knew that it was not easy for them. To take on the important task of being the guardian of the empire in a world full of demons and monsters must be like walking on thin ice day and night, with a high level of mental tension, and not being able to slack off in the slightest.
Ms. Elinson must have been a great person.
Fushan said from the front: "Come, just stand here."
The research institute is a huge dome-shaped building with a large number of magical instruments placed in the center. The bottom has been opened up to form a large pool that contains liquid magic power.
The crystals around Fushan reflected the ripples of the pool, appearing a forest green.
It's the green that Hughes likes.
Zeus walked to the crystal with the gray cat, followed by a group of expectant magicians.
No one can enter the institute without permission, so some people can only crowd at the door and watch what is happening inside from afar.
Everyone is curious, especially since the Oss Empire hasn't had a genius who shocked the whole country for a long time.
Duke Feynman might have been just one step away, but I never expected that he would be suspected of treason and collude with monsters from another world.
It’s true... once a person becomes mentally unstable, he will go off the track.
They were peeking in at the door, all curious about what was going on.
Orlore was more curious than they were, and his heart was pounding before it even started.
What will happen?
Zeus stood in front of the crystal ball, his face reflecting green light and his black eyes filled with brilliance, like dark green gems.
Since he was able to circulate magic power in his body, his perception ability has improved a lot. Things that he could not perceive before, he can now gradually feel. It is like reaching into a pond and not being able to feel anything before, but today he can finally feel the fish.
He could feel that this crystal contained extremely powerful energy, and the magical structure within it was complex and solid. He tried to look at it and analyze it, and was dazzled by the complex structure inside.
It was incredible. Would he be able to create such a complex and solid structural system in the future? Xiu Si was a Buddhist. His mood was rarely turbulent, and he had almost no strong desire to achieve anything. But now something seemed to be different.
He became curious, just like when he was browsing the Internet and came across the concept of "modeling".
What first enlightened him was a 3D anime movie, namely the Final Fantasy series adapted from a game.
Seeing the model moving, making expressions and performing like a real person, lively and lifelike, he was very curious and wanted to know how it was done. So he searched everywhere for knowledge, found various forums and courses, and finally succeeded in self-study.
It is not easy to find something you like and are capable of doing. After working for many years, he understands more and more how difficult it is.
Haha, I'm thinking too far. Hughes stopped recalling and focused back on the crystal ball in front of him.
He placed his hands on the crystal ball as Fushan had said.
At first, nothing happened.
Orlore was so concerned that his fists clenched tightly.
Fushan and other researchers stared at the crystal ball.
Why haven't the calculated values appeared yet?
A few seconds later, numbers suddenly appeared on the crystal ball, rising from 0 to 1 at an unimaginable speed.
In the blink of an eye, the value soared to 60.
A mental power of 60 means that this person has entered the ranks of geniuses, which is only one in ten thousand.
And the numbers are still soaring.
In a blink of an eye, it soared from 60 to 80!
Mental strength is 80. This is too scary, it is completely a mentor-level value.
Olor's initial mental power value was 67. It took him 70 years of training and constant meditation to reach 81!
How did Hughes achieve his height of 80? Was he born with it or did he improve it later?
Before Olore could figure out what was going on, the numbers kept soaring!
Soared from 80 to 91, 92, 92!
The researchers couldn't even stand still, looking at the numbers as if they were in a dream.
No, no way, over 90? Is this real?!
I heard that the strongest people in the world today only have a mental strength of 90 or 91.
This person actually surpassed it directly!
Orlor was trembling all over and had goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't imagine what this mental power value meant because there was no way to compare it.
Could it be that... he has reached the level of Grand Master Matros, or even Agares!
No one knows the mental power values of these two people, but it must be very high, definitely the ceiling.
The young man in front of him seemed to be only level 27, but how come his mental strength value reached 93?
This is no longer shocking, it's terrifying!
He seems to be an ordinary person, but he is actually quite extraordinary!
No one knew that at this moment, the gray cat under the crystal ball stretched out its paw and stroked the crystal ball.
A second later, the crystal ball shone brightly and luckily stopped at 94.
The researchers inside and the magicians, young and old, outside who had watched the entire process of the numerical soaring were stunned, and some were even trembling and sweating profusely.
Spiritual power 94, is this true? Are they really seeing things, or is the crystal ball malfunctioning? Otherwise, how could such a scary value appear?
If the person standing next to the crystal ball was someone of Grand Master Matros' level, they certainly wouldn't be so shocked.
At this moment, standing there was a young man with a calm face, as if he didn't feel there was anything special about himself!
This is too... unbelievable.
They would never know that the value stopped at 94 because Gray Cat took action to hold it down. If the value was allowed to continue to soar, no one would know what would happen in the end.
And his mental strength is 94. Just based on this point, Zeus is a person that the magic world must pay attention to today, regardless of his specific level and magical level.
Because strong mental power means that new knowledge can be researched with relatively low risk.
Just ask yourself, who wouldn’t want and compete for talents who can research new knowledge?
If this number gets out, the number one human empire will come to snatch the man.
Several magicians' minds went blank and they stood there in a daze.
It took Orlol a long time to calm down. Cold sweat ran down his forehead and he almost couldn't stand.
You can't blame him for making a fuss, mainly because this kind of situation may not happen once in a lifetime.
In particular, the opponent's performance so far has been very normal, without a trace of arrogance of a strong man.
Generally speaking, the top figures in any field would be a bit arrogant, but Xius didn't let him feel that at all.
This young man gives people such a comfortable feeling that you don’t feel he is distant at all.
As soon as Orlore saw Hughes' expression, he knew that Hughes had not expected his number to be so high.
In fact, Xiu Si was stunned. Before his system broke down, he remembered that his mental strength value was 71. How come after thousands of years, it suddenly soared to such a high value?
Could it be that during the period of "death", I also grew up?
He fell into deep thought.
Aolor on the side finally calmed down and broke the silence, saying: "Mr. Xius, your mental strength value is indeed extraordinary. You really deserve to be noticed by Master Matros."
Hughes turned his head and met Orlor's blue eyes, "I'm a little surprised myself."
Orlor said: "This is a good thing, Mr. Hughes. It means that you will make great achievements in magic, especially in developing new magic."
Xiu Si digested it slowly and said with a smile: "Well, thank you for letting me understand my situation. I will work hard to improve myself."
Knowing that he had such an extraordinary place, he remained calm and composed. Fushan stared at Xius blankly, as if she had never seen such a person before.
His mental state was too stable. This made it seem like those shocked people were making a fuss out of nothing.
While they were thinking, Hughes picked up the gray cat and squeezed its paws as if to check if it had touched anything.
There are so many cursed props here, and he is afraid that his children will be affected.
Orlo, who was standing next to him, thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xius, may I ask, what do you think of the Oss Empire?"
Many people know that Zeus is an amnesiac rescued from the abyss by Priest Xilin, which means that he is not a citizen of the Oss Empire.
He has such a powerful talent that if you are a citizen of the Ottoman Empire, you will be unable to resist wanting to win him over to your country.
If it were in some big empire, they might even suppress people directly.
The researchers immediately became nervous because what Hughes said at this moment might very well be related to the fate of the empire.
The air was silent, and many people froze.
In this space, the only one who was relaxed might be the gray cat in Zeus' arms.
The gray cat's green eyes scanned the entire room, revealing a hint of majesty.
Hughes was obviously thinking, and after a few seconds, he answered.
“I probably don’t want to be affiliated with a specific country.”
Orlor paused, his expression changed slightly, and a bit of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he also expressed his understanding, and said in a voice that only Xius could hear: "You are right. It is better not to get involved in the Os Empire at this time. With your talent, you should show it in a bigger place."
This was the second time someone said this, and those in the Oss Empire who knew the danger was coming.
Xius was silent, but he couldn't help feeling a little concerned.
After that, Orlor did not mention the matter again, but enthusiastically taught him various magical theories and knowledge, and took him to familiarize himself with the major buildings of the Magicians' Association.
Orlor said, "Mage Associations around the world are similar. Their basic structures are similar to this one, with service halls, research institutes, training grounds, libraries, magic laboratories, etc. Our Os Empire's Magic Association ranks 39th in the world, with two great magicians, 12 senior magicians, more than 100 intermediate magicians, more than 3,000 junior magicians, and tens of thousands of trainee magicians."
According to him, magicians are divided into five levels, but in fact there are more powerful strategic-level magicians above the great magicians.
Excluding extra-human beings and missing persons, there are currently only ten such people in the world, all of whom are well-known national strategic figures.
One of them even built and defended the country on his own. With great knowledge and unlimited means, he alone pushed the country's ranking to seventh place, creating history. It was shocking that even the Kingdom of Light, which had loved to launch wars everywhere before, did not dare to launch a war against him.
The power of one person is comparable to that of gods, which is astonishing.
His name is Arnold, and he is a student of the Abyss Lord Agares.
Olore taught Xiu Si a lot of knowledge, and more importantly, common sense.
Xius listened carefully and kept it all in mind.
Later, he inadvertently sighed: "Human magic has really developed."
There was a lot of emotion in his words, as if he had witnessed a time when human magic was at its wits' end.
Orlok turned his head in disbelief, and seeing Xius's slightly complicated look, he suddenly paused.
There is always a reason for a high number. The reason why this young man's number is so high is probably because he has gone through hardships that ordinary people can hardly imagine and has gradually improved it.
He is definitely not an ordinary person. I don’t know what kind of past he has.
It was not until dark in the afternoon that Zeus left the Magicians' Association.
Olore and Fushan watched him go from the door.
After a while, there was a sudden noise on the street. They turned around and saw that it was the military.
And it was the legion commander Fili.
Oral was surprised, but Fili looked at him and walked over.
Orlore knew that he must have something to ask him, so he asked, "What is it?"
Fili came hurriedly, looking a little flustered. After listening to Orlore's question, he turned his head to look at the distance of the street for unknown reasons. After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: "Did that person just leave?"
Orlol felt something strange, because there was a hint of subtle awe in Fili's voice.
"Just left. Do you have anything to do with Mr. Hughes?"
Fili took a breath and turned his head and said, "I heard that he was at the Magician's Association all day."
Aurore: That’s right.
Fili then asked what exactly he did in the Magicians Association.
Orlore was puzzled, but he had to tell the truth. Any magician would know the answer.
Fili pondered for a long time and thought that this might be the so-called "super-existence experience of life" and expressed his appreciation for Olore's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.
"Well done, that one needs to serve well."
Orlol was even more puzzled. Why were the military people becoming more and more confused?
And Fili's expression suddenly became heavy, as if he had something on his mind that he couldn't say and was about to go crazy.
As an acquaintance who had known each other for about ten years, Orlore thought that Fili's behavior today was the strangest.
But before he could ask anything, Fili shook his head and said, "No, that's not something I can tell you. If Eliorg knew, the Oss Empire might be destroyed faster."
Orlore was confused, and seeing Fili's worried look, he said earnestly, "We still have to figure out a way ourselves."
Orlo's mind was full of question marks. What was going on?
Half an hour later.
When Fili returned to the military hall, he saw that almost all the high-ranking officials of the empire were present.
The great magician Elinson, the other two legion commanders... and the legendary hero Roger.
Roger sat at the front seat of the round table in silence, but his aura overwhelmed the entire audience.
The others didn't dare to make a sound.
It was the first time that Fili was so close to the brave Roger. His heart was filled with excitement and hope rose in his eyes.
Yes, we in the Os Empire have brave men. Isn’t that enough to give us confidence?
However, Fili still underestimated the seriousness of this gathering of all senior executives.
Seeing that almost everyone was present, Elinson was silent for half a minute and finally began to explain the situation.
——About the coming of the alien god, and the crisis of national destruction that is probably inevitable.
Fili thought that with a series of actions by the military, the situation could at least be reversed a little, but unexpectedly, there was no good news at all.
Especially facing the terrorist threats of national destruction and genocide, it would be useless for them to immigrate to foreign countries and escape to the ends of the earth.
After the three-hour meeting, there was a long silence in the military hall, which was finally broken by Roger.
Luo Jie suddenly stood up and said calmly and majestically: "I will do my best to protect the Os Empire. Please do your job and complete your work. No matter whether His Highness Sarah can return in time or not, don't worry too much."
Everyone was immediately shocked and dared not miss a word.
The brave man Logie was a powerful being feared by the gods in his heyday. It is a great honor for him to be willing to sacrifice his life for them today.
After the meeting.
Roger walked to a balcony and slowly looked up at the sky.
There are no clouds and the moon is full tonight.
He seemed to be missing something, his eyes were deep, and after a long while he said, "After I die, I won't be able to go to the abyss every year to look for you."
-
The same sky.
As if sensing something, Zeus also looked up at the moon.
It has been snowing and covered with dark clouds these days, and it is rare to see the moon on a single night.
He suddenly missed the adventurous days.
I don’t know whether the missing companions are still alive, and what kind of life the only one who is not missing is living.
After living for so many years, it's time to let go and retire.
But Xius was more or less worried, because in his impression, Roger was a person who cared a lot about what others thought of him. If others had expectations of him, he would unconsciously meet the expectations of others. For a long time, he had been trying to play the image of a "brave man".
He's clearly not that kind of person.
It’s hard to say whether this is good or not. All we can say is that everyone has their own way of living, and as an outsider, it’s hard for you to say anything.
However, he seemed to have told Roger this unintentionally back then.
——"Just think of it as a game. No one here knows you."
——"Are you tired? Sometimes you can rely on your companions."
Something like that.
Xius felt that he was a member of the atmosphere group cheerleading team, who was specifically responsible for cheering up his teammates. After all, he could not do anything and could only help everyone with words.
I don’t know if what he said had any effect, or if it just caused trouble for everyone.
Zeus lowered his eyes. He was getting stronger now, but he didn't know where his former companions had gone.
A few minutes later, he walked back into the room and saw the two cats talking about something and clapping their paws together.
"What's wrong?"
The two cats looked over at the same time and said they wanted to share what they had seen and heard today.
Xius was relieved: "It seems that your relationship is better than before."
The gray-red cat froze for a moment.
Fortunately, Xiu Si did not dwell on this topic too much, but thought of one thing.
"Oh, that little black bird."
He finally remembered to let the little black bird out of the box.
As soon as the little black bird came out, it walked and jumped around lively, as if it was getting used to its new body, and when it saw the cat, it immediately took a few steps back.
Hughes: "How is it, are you okay?"
The little black bird immediately turned around, puffed out its chest proudly, and nodded slightly, expressing its great satisfaction.
Xius was also surprised. After all, it was the first time he had seen a consciousness transplant and he didn't know if there would be any side effects.
He asked, "Does anything feel uncomfortable or wrong?"
The little black bird was very satisfied. The previous divine body was full of curses and he almost died. Now that he has a brand new body, he feels like he has been reborn and his vitality is surging!
Seeing how happy He was, Xiu Si smiled and said, "By the way, what's your name?"
Before he finished speaking, the excited little black bird suddenly became quiet, as if this question had touched upon its heart.
He didn't know how to answer.
The two cats blinked, as if they knew why, and their eyes showed some sympathy.
Seeing the little black bird was silent, Hughes sat closer and asked, "Can't I tell you?"
The little black bird paused and shook its head. It’s not that it can’t be said, but that there is no such thing.
Hades has no name, or rather, Hades’ name is Hades.
But the existence of Hades has had so many consciousnesses, how could Hades be His own name?
He never thought about it, but when He did, He became troubled.
Name... As a god, it doesn't seem right that he doesn't even have a name.
At this moment, Xius suddenly said: "Hodel."
The little black bird was stunned.
Hughes looked into His gray eyes and asked, "Can you call me Hodel?"
In Norse mythology, the name of the dark god corresponding to the god of light.
The little black bird trembled its wings, its bean-sized eyes seemed to sparkle with water, and it suddenly pounced over.
