Chapter 134

"This is - a super-large reversal technique!?" Ieiri Naoko widened her eyes in disbelief, and turned her head to look at Lancermello, whose eyes had turned golden for some reason, trying to verify it. "It's completely different from ordinary cursed power... If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the curse of the whole Tokyo has been purified by this white light!"

"...No need to guess, they are all purified." Gojo Satoru finally shed his previous relaxed appearance, raised his hands to push up his sunglasses to reveal his eyes and gaze into the distance, "'Baptism Hymn "Kyrie Eleison"' - this should have been a purification ritual for a single body. It surprisingly maintained a very strong purification ability while expanding the range..."

——『Heaven』 and 『Earth』 exist in harmony with each other.

And the scene they had seen before was - the world was turned upside down.

——The higher the level of magic, the closer it is to the essence of magic.

"It's just concepts, order, and the like..." Gojo Satoru put down his sunglasses and turned to look at Lancermello who had just put down his wand. "Hey, Lord Lancermello - although you said before that you want to hide it from non-magicians and make sure that Rotten Orange doesn't notice Chaldea, but turning the world upside down is not a small event, right?"

"I remember that you sorcerers have a spell that can enhance the effect of the spell by making it public, right?" Lansemello's eyes have returned to their normal blue color, and he is now looking down at the entire city from a high place. "But magicians are the opposite. We will not make public the "mysteries" we master. However, Velvet's specialty is to directly dismantle these mysteries and then teach them to his students."

“So I’ll just say it myself this time.”

"Alchemy, or all magic, is essentially the equivalent exchange of concepts."

Just like how Lancermello was able to replace the artificial body made of mercury and sheepskin with the "body of Lord Lancermello on January 1, 2012" in the past - "Heaven" and "Earth" are also concepts that can be replaced and copied.

The magic of substitution and the great magic of replication were used at the same time - so the sky and the earth were turned upside down in front of the four people, but because of the magic of replication, the scene seen by ordinary people remained the same as before; then the great magic of astronomy outlined the magic circle in the sky that interfered with the movement of celestial bodies, and the great magic of replication simultaneously reproduced the magic circle that could interfere with the entire galaxy on the earth, reducing the scope of interference to only include the whole of Tokyo.

——Magic that interfered with celestial bodies has now turned into magic that interferes with the earth.

"Then, with the help of the completed magic base, I replaced the internal program 'the originally recorded magic' with the new program 'baptism hymn "Kyrie eleison"'" - Lansemello avoided the three people's gaze and cleared his throat, "Although I have also modified the baptism hymn, it is not important. What is important is that when the baptism hymn replaces the magic that was originally to be performed and appears in the base -"

"As long as you inject magic power, the magic recorded in the base will be directly activated."

"And the source of my magic power is the land beneath my feet - the spiritual veins here are almost inexhaustible." Lansemelo glanced at the three people and sighed helplessly, "After all, you sorcerers almost don't know how to develop and utilize the spiritual veins, but it is convenient for me to use the spiritual veins to make some extreme adjustments."

——For example, temporarily performing several large magic spells.

"At the same time, because we have swapped the 'sky' and 'earth' before, the light that should have been emitted from the earth will become sunlight in the eyes of ordinary people - at most, they will complain about why the sun is so bright today." Lansemero reached out and pulled the three people who had reached the edge of the rooftop inside, "Okay, let's get ready to go back."

"Wait! That paper—"

Only Xia Yujie is still thinking about the thesis that has no set submission date.

"If you don't understand what I'm saying, go ask Velvet. The topic of the thesis has changed from the one in the lecture to the magic I used this time." Lansermello had already stepped into the portal prepared by Bachin. After hearing what Xia Yujie said, he turned back to look at him who had not yet adapted to the other world. "Well, the requirements are... more than 50,000 words, write at least five different uses of these magics, and further infer at least five magic concepts."

Ieiri Shoko: “The word count has increased!?”

Lancer Melo: "You three wrote it together. Besides, it's not like you can't ask other people for help. If you do ask for help, remember to give them your credit."

——This is what happened on the first day of high school for Gojo Satoru, Yugetsu, and Ieiri Shoko, with the intervention of Chaldea.

Now, it is the winter vacation time after the end of the second semester of this school year.

Yega Masamichi received the recruitment requirements for the next class of freshmen from the principal, but as soon as he stepped out of the principal's office, he found that people from Chaldea were waiting at the corner of the staircase corridor.

"Are you going to interfere with this year's freshmen too?" Ye Mo Zheng Dao shook the information in his hand and sighed helplessly at the man at the corner, "Your world of magicians places great value on talent. It's OK that you took away those three children whose talents far surpassed most sorcerers, but are you interested in these two too?"

——No, it was the world consciousness that took a fancy to it.

El-Melloi II complained inwardly.

"You sorcerers only rate them as mediocre... or at best, only as Level 2 or 1?" El-Melloi II glanced at the photos in the two files in Yega Zhengdao's hand and compared them with the files he had seen in Chaldea in his memory. "After all, sorcerers have different evaluation standards from us. You focus on actual combat."

"That's right, but level two and level one are the limits of what an excellent sorcerer can achieve." Ye Moth Masamichi nodded and handed the information to El-Melloi II. "This is already a very high evaluation for us - even for you, it should be a very high evaluation, right?"

"No, although the rank represents the different research results of magicians, if we consider the actual combat aspect, we care more about the concept itself." El-Melloi II took out the data belonging to the blond hybrid and dragged out his voice meaningfully, "The battle of advanced magic is a battle between concepts. There is no strong one and no broken one. It just becomes a matter of calculating with each other according to the order."

"Concepts are not affected by the amount of magic power. The amount of magic power only determines whether the magician can perform the magic he wants to complete, but it will not affect the effect of the magic." El-Melloi II paused and looked through the window at the playground not far away. "And the effect of your spells will change due to the change in the amount of magic power input."

"In addition to the magicians of the Clock Tower, there is also a group of alchemists in the Magic Association - Atlas Academy 'Giant's Cellar'. The alchemists of Atlas have a common creed - 'We don't need to be the strongest ourselves, we just need to create the strongest.'"

"So, Nanami-kun's technique, for you - his concept means that he can reach a higher level than we expected?" Yega Masamichi looked at El-Melloi II who was still looking out the window, but switched the positions of the two documents in his hands. He heard him mention the alchemist group to him, "Then, the descendants of the curse tool master family, Haibara..."

"Do you know why the Clock Tower magicians are pretty much the only ones active out there?"

“…Huh?”

"The Wandering Sea is so elusive that it is not within the scope of the discussion for the time being." El-Melloi II turned back to look at Noctua, and passed his thumb over the edge of Haihara Xiong's information, remembering the incident he and Gray encountered in her hometown, "But do you know why there are no alchemists from the Atlas Institute in the outside world?"

——Alchemist... It sounds like a branch similar to the spell tool master. But if it is just because of the mysterious secrecy, the Clock Tower is not like the Atlas Institute...

Before Ye Mo Zheng Dao could figure out what was going on, he heard El-Melloi II continue talking to himself.

"The only absolute rule of the Atlas Institute is that one's research results can only be made public to oneself."

"At the same time, the entire magic world knows that once the seal of Atlas is unlocked, the world will be destroyed seven times."

——This conversation took place outside the principal’s office in March 2006.

More than three months later, when the bell rang for the end of class in El-Melloi's classroom, Yemo Masamichi and Lancer-Melloi stepped into the classroom.

"Satoru, Jie - don't think about sneaking away, I've already seen you." Yega Masamichi looked up and scanned the seats in the back row, and found two students who had become like conjoined twins in the first week of the first year. "And Nazawa, there is a new mission - this time it is appointed by Master Tengen."

The alarm bells of the important nodes that the world consciousness had set for Chaldea in advance rang on time.

"An important node event is detected to be about to occur."

The notification from the world consciousness echoed in the minds of everyone in Chaldea.

"Astral plasma body." Under the watchful eyes of the magicians in the first classroom, Masamichi Yaga decisively announced the specific commission issued by Lord Tengen to Gojo Goka Yugetsu and Ieiri Naoko, "The suitable candidates of Lord Tengen - you are responsible for protecting the safety of this girl and erasing her."

"Guard... and erase?"

"Time is tight, so I'll keep it simple." Lancer Mello stood in the middle of the podium, his eyes calmly scanning the Chaldean members sitting in their seats, "The location of the astral plasma body has been exposed, so the Jujutsu World has entrusted Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru to guard the astral plasma body. At the same time, for safety reasons, the president of the technical high school has given Chaldea the same commission based on the constraints we established in the past as a means of insurance for this mission."

"I got permission from the principal to mobilize everyone."

Everyone in the classroom held their breath the moment Lansermello said this.

"Now, let me announce the arrangements for this operation." Lansemello started to call the roll directly. "Kirshtalia Vodem, Fujimaru Ritsuka, follow the planetary plasma body sorcerer to act together - at the same time, the on-site command of this operation will be handed over to Fujimaru. In addition, Chaldea will decide the counterattack against the assassination planetary plasma body sorcerer based on the suppression force."

"Next, let's start the action."
