Chapter 548: Resurrection of Victor (Thanks to the Burning Soldier for the reward)

The power that Mike obtained is extremely special.

On the surface, Mike's ability is only the cursed flame, but in fact, this cursed flame can be split into two powers, namely flame and curse.

Just like now, the cursed flame in Mike's hand, which exudes a terrifying and ominous aura, slowly splits into two smaller flames under the control of his mental power.

One of them is pitch black, and while burning, it continues to emit endless malice to the surroundings.

The other is translucent. As soon as it appears, the temperature around Mike begins to rise sharply, and even the air around the flame is distorted by the burning!

This separation allows Mike to use these two powers at the same time to fight, and the fighting method becomes more diverse, rather than relying solely on the damage caused by the burning of the cursed flame.

The ordinary flame makes Mike's already proficient fire spell more handy and more powerful.

This is a great thing. A single cursed flame has many characteristics that ordinary flames do not have. Therefore, many of Mike's techniques for controlling flames to attack are not directly applied to it. In other words, Mike must redevelop a set of combat methods with the cursed flame as the core to maximize its power.

But now, this problem has been perfectly solved.

On the other hand, the curse power that has been separated can also shine and heat in other places.

You must know that the curse power that Mike has obtained is the most advanced original power, and the so-called black magic is actually the various manifestations of the curse power.

Now that Mike has obtained the essential power of black magic, he does not need to chant spells or use magic wands to release any black magic next, because he can directly control the curse power to launch attack spells according to his ideas.

And because the level of the curse power is too high, the effect of the black magic released by Mike will also be qualitatively improved compared to before!

Of course, the above is just one of the benefits Mike has gained from this promotion to legend. In fact, the enhancement he has gained after the promotion to legend is far more than that.

For example, after the promotion to legend, Mike's magic power and mental power have also increased by dozens of times, reaching an extremely exaggerated level.

The increase in magic power is relatively ordinary. After all, it is just a simple increase in the power of spells and the ability to continue fighting. But mental power is different.

After the surge in mental power, Mike's ability to predict danger has reached an outrageous level. Although it is not as good as those legendary great prophets, he can simply predict most of the upcoming dangers. This has greatly increased his combat ability. And because of the surge in mental power, Mike's ability to control spells has also been greatly improved.

Now if he uses the spell compression technique again, he can even compress it directly to the 10th level!

Think about it, ten life-killing spells overlapped together, the power is simply enough to scare a person to death!

Thinking of this, the smile on Mike's face became brighter and brighter, and then he got up and came to the spell training ground and began to experiment with his own abilities.

For a while, bursts of explosions began to be heard from the spell training ground. The sound was so loud and powerful that even the entire Masonic secret realm began to tremble slightly.

This huge movement naturally attracted the attention of the Freemasons and others.

Benjamin raised his head alertly and looked at the source of the sound. After confirming that the noise was caused by Mike, he shook his head and continued to carry the messy wreckage of Victor towards Victor's alchemy laboratory.

The others were in a similar situation. Although they were all very curious about how terrifying the power Mike had gained after being promoted to Legend, they had more important things to do now.

Among them, Soraka and her medical team were constantly busy in the medical room. There were many Los Santos wizards who were injured in this battle. They must receive treatment immediately, otherwise they would likely be left with permanent sequelae or even die directly.

Penelope changed her clothes and went directly back to the Los Santos Group, directing the employees of the Los Santos Group to start arranging the content of tomorrow's newspaper. You know, this incident was a big deal, and it was a good opportunity for them to expand their influence.

And Benjamin, his task was even more important.

He carried Victor's body into the laboratory, put him on the ground panting, and then grabbed a book with the word "instructions" on the cover on the test bench and read it.

Although it was called a manual, the book was ten centimeters thick. It was even more terrifying than a simplified dictionary, and Benjamin frowned constantly.

After scratching his head and reading for nearly half an hour, he hesitated and put down the manual. He carefully opened the carbonized breastplate on Victor's chest according to the operation sequence in the manual, and pulled out a strange chip that looked a bit like the inside of an FC game cartridge from a pile of electronic components.

Then he quickly opened the manual and searched for a long time. Then he held the chip with both hands and inserted it solemnly into the slot in the center of the test bench.

The moment the chip was inserted into the slot, the slot that was originally turned outward retracted into the test bench.

Then a slight fan sound came from the test bench, and a bright blue light bloomed on the desktop.

This sudden change scared Benjamin. He raised his wand and stepped back to the door. The blue light continued to condense, and finally formed a translucent figure.

"Victor! You're alive again!?"

Benjamin couldn't help but exclaimed at the familiar figure.

Victor on the test bench gave Benjamin a very humane look and said slowly:

"I've never died. It's just that my body is in standby mode because it's too seriously damaged."

"Oh? Oh!"

Benjamin said twice in confusion. With his current knowledge of Muggle technology and alchemy, he couldn't understand what Victor was like, but this didn't stop him from being happy for Victor. Benjamin, who reacted, shook his head

quickly and said in a surprised tone:

"Anyway, you're not dead, right? Mike would be so happy if he heard this news!" As

soon as Benjamin finished speaking, Mike's figure emerged from the door. He looked at Benjamin, who was excited, and just wanted to ask a question, he saw Victor floating on the test bench.

A happy expression flashed across Mike's face, and was replaced by deep guilt.

Benjamin couldn't tell what Victor's current appearance meant, but he knew.

Victor had clearly mechanized himself completely, and even his memories were transplanted into the computer.

In terms of external performance, Victor was indeed still alive. After all, this computer stored all of Victor's memories, and all the words and deeds of the programs created from it would be exactly the same as Victor's. But

this world has souls!

Without a soul, the Victor who now appeared in front of Mike was at best just an AI program with Victor's appearance. As for the real Victor, he was probably dead when he completely transformed himself into a machine.

"Victor..." Mike looked into the eyes of Victor's phantom and said seriously, "I'm sorry!"

Benjamin's face was immediately filled with confusion, but Victor smiled and shook his head and said,

"The human body is too fragile. It has always been my ideal to become a complete machine. I am an adult, I am willing to do this, and I know how terrible the consequences of doing so will be, and I am willing to bear such consequences. That's enough. In fact, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have done it a long time ago. So you don't have to apologize to me, Mike.

And I'm in very good condition now. After becoming a mechanical life, my ability to control machines has been further enhanced, which will be of great benefit to my next research! Look!"

As he spoke, Victor pointed his finger lightly, and a machine in the corner of the laboratory started to operate. Several mechanical arms flew up and down on a processing table shaped like a lathe. With a crackling sound and sparks, a dark mechanical arm and a long sword with a cold glow appeared in front of Mike and Benjamin.

"According to my memory, Franklin's left arm and Arthur's sword seem to be broken, right? It happens that I can provide them with replacements. I can assure you that this arm will definitely be more useful than the original one. I have added a lot of new functions to it, and I think Franklin will like it. The same goes for this nano sword. Its strength and sharpness are far superior to Arthur's original broken sword, and it can also activate high-speed vibration cutting capabilities, with amazing lethality. The only drawback is that it needs to be charged. Originally, this sword should have been given to Arthur before the battle, but unfortunately, he thought that this nano sword was too complicated and not as simple and easy to use as his broken sword. He really doesn't know the goods!"

Mike and Benjamin were speechless after listening to Victor's nagging.

However, the things Victor said really sounded like something Arthur would do. After all, that guy had been following his master in the wilderness of North America since he was a child, and he had basically never taken a class properly. In terms of his understanding of alchemy and Muggle technology, he was probably not as good as Benjamin, a wizard who had left the Muggle world since he was a child.

And the reason why he was unwilling to use the nano sword was probably because he didn't know it.

Then Victor began to introduce other items in the laboratory to Mike and Benjamin. Although Victor was usually taciturn, he became a chatterbox when talking about alchemical prostheses and kept talking.

The guilt and sadness in Mike's heart gradually dissipated in this constant communication.

Victor was right. Complete mechanization was his own wish. It was cruel to impose his will on him like Mike did.

Victor is now very happy.

This also reminded Mike of an old Eastern saying.

If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?

While the three were still chatting, Zhou Hong's small figure suddenly appeared at the door. After seeing the scene in the laboratory, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said in surprise:

"Victor? Are you not dead?"

"Ah, of course not!"

Victor replied unhappily, and he seemed to be very annoyed that everyone had to ask him this question.

"That's great!" Facing Victor's rolling eyes, Zhou Hong didn't care at all. He shouted excitedly, and then suddenly seemed to think of something and said: "By the way, I'm here to remind you that the party to celebrate Mike's return is about to begin. You should go over quickly." As soon as

these words came out, a trace of disappointment flashed across Victor's face.

He was really not in a good condition to attend such a party.

Mike clearly sensed Victor's emotional changes. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he said,

"Victor, come too."

"But, I'm..."

"Okay, come when I tell you to!" Benjamin pretended to be impatient and said, "If it's because it's inconvenient for you to move now, I can help you move the entire test bench over! Anyway, it's very easy for me to disassemble this thing!"

Victor raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise:

"But... according to my previous memory, it seemed that you spent almost an hour just to install the chip on the test bench? And that was with the instruction manual."

"Uh! Did you see it all? I thought you had turned off the computer at that time." Benjamin's old face blushed, but he soon stiffened his neck and said, "It was just an accident!"

After that, Benjamin and Victor looked at each other and laughed.

Looking at the two of them, Mike smiled and shook his head, pointing to the mechanical arm and nano sword in the corner and said:

"Okay, Victor, don't refuse anymore, let's go together. As for these two things, you should give them to Franklin and Arthur in person, just as gifts."

Victor, who was still laughing, froze in an instant. He remained silent for a long time, and finally whispered:

"Okay then."

Hearing this, a joyful atmosphere immediately spread in the laboratory.

...

The banquet in the Masonic Secret Realm is still in the preparation stage, while the banquet in Hogwarts has already begun.

As the reinforcements invited by Benjamin to the Ministry of Magic to rescue Mike, the Los Santos Group gave them a lot of rewards, including the most practical gold galleons and internship opportunities in the Los Santos Group, as well as a lot of food and wine.

This allowed the students of Hogwarts to finally have a grand banquet to declare their status as winners!

I'm very sorry. I haven't been checking the author's backstage for a while due to work issues. I just saw the reward from Burning Soldier today, so I haven't thanked him or added more chapters. To express my apology, I will add 4,000 words today.
