Basil didn't pay much attention to the noise in the group chat.
Although he caused it.
But just like those people in his Previous Life who liked to forward messages everywhere and see the reactions in groups, he preferred to lurk rather than express his own opinions.
Sometimes I would forward things to the group chat to peek at the reactions.
Moreover, there was something that should have been put on the agenda long ago, after he became Archmage.
"Riddle".
Riddle, who had been running the Malfoy family business and using it to search for possible information about Voldemort, was summoned once again to capture Voldemort.
"My lord."
As a vassal of Basil, Riddle appeared kneeling in the shadow behind Basil in the passage of the hidden dark magic circle.
Basil tapped the table lightly with his index finger without turning around.
"Do you think I'm really capable of handling the new exterior components right now?"
Although he now possesses the [Destined Twins] talent, has learned two methods of creation, and has absorbed data from God and Satan of the American Horror Story World.
However, the Wand Appearance comes from the system, representing a higher level of power.
[Dragon Knight] On the surface, it is the power of dragons, but it also deeply engraves the legend of King Arthur into Basil's own concept.
Even the holy sword Excalibur from another world surrendered willingly.
The passive ability to detect lies granted by the "Truth-Teller" makes him subconsciously focus his attention on whether others are lying or not.
If he weren't a pure pervert, a reincarnation of a lecher, he probably would have become obsessed with the What If...? Hao Asakura in Shaman King.
[Shadow of Obsidian] forcibly cleared away the darkness within himself and others, almost causing Basil to be psychologically castrated.
Although it was Basil's own initiative to prevent going down a path of no return and causing the whole world to be 404 (a type of website address in China).
But it's also quite terrifying.
This is why Riddle, who was barely System Sprite, advised Basil not to take on any new appearance before becoming Archmage.
Even after Basil truly became Archmage, he still couldn't find the upper limit of manifested power.
The [Inspiration] derived from [Shadow of Obsidian], after obtaining the cycle of good and evil in the Good and Evil Magic World, can form the [Twin of Good and Evil - Core of Immortality], which grants immortality.
The red dragon formed by the full activation of the Dragon Blood of Red Dragon brought by the Dragon Knight can also transform into Dragon of Good and Evil of good and evil, wearing the crown of Scales of Evil.
In other words, the True Sight brought by the Truth-Teller is still in its original state.
But Basil could sense its profound, seemingly endless potential.
It can be said that the talents brought by each Wand Appearance can lead to great development if one chooses one as the source.
It can be said that this is exactly what Basil did. Through the power of emotions, he poured in data from God and Satan. The six-pointed star magic circle of the Long-eared Tribe, which embodies both light and darkness, and the [Twin of Good and Evil - Core of Immortality], which was born from the [Shadow of Obsidian] absorbing the essence of a world, directly devoured everything and gave birth to the immortal [Destined Twins].
For just 2000 gems, you can gain a new talent with unlimited potential, making it an incredibly worthwhile deal.
That's why, after becoming Archmage, he set his sights on Wand Appearance Component.
Beside him, Riddle frowned, pondered for a moment, and replied, "My lord, your [Destined Twins] come from the balance of good and evil."
"Even the 'Source of Life,' which purifies everything and heals diseases, can give rise to the 'Source of Curse,' which is as insidious as a poison that clings to one's bones."
"The free and unrestrained divine Phoenix Force can also give rise to Dark Phoenix that this world has never had before, one that imprisons everything Abomination life."
"But the talents brought by the [Wand Appearance Component] may not be able to be balanced."
"It could very likely cause an imbalance between the good and Evil Body."
Basil's tapping on the table slowed. "So..."
"Should Wand Appearance like [Aromatic Feather] and [Kiss of New Green], which clearly describe bringing joy and understanding of the positive power of love to their owners, be excluded?"
"The 'Extraordinary Guide' grants the power of death, which is inherently evil. The 'Soul Messenger,' with its ambiguous and uncertain alignment, should also be excluded."
"That [Staff of Time]?"
Basil had long been interested in the power of time.
Having illuminated the Ministry of Magic, including the Department of Mysteries' Time Chamber, he also attempted to learn the Hour Reversal Charm.
However, this spell is too limited, only allowing for time reversal within five hours, and the body will also lose the same amount of time.
Unless one is an immortal like him, it would be more appropriate for him to use it in a magical container, as wizards do.
In this way, the time for regression is longer, and the power of the spell is more stable.
Riddle sensed the expectation in Basil's words.
"I don't recommend it. The sentence in the explanatory text, 'Magic can make a flower never wither, but the passage of time cannot be stopped,' is somewhat ambiguous."
"It may grant you time to acquire other living beings and increase your own reserves of power."
"It could also directly give you the power of [aging]. It could be defined as evil, affecting the balance."
"You can grasp the power of time through the [Hour Reversal Charm], and since you have an infinite lifespan, you don't need to take this risk."
My advice remains: [Mirror of Inner Self], Ember Heartfire], [Tranquility].
Basil shook his head. "[Mirror of Inner Self] is unnecessary. I have already obtained the power to prevent myself from being misled by illusions and to ensure that my heart is never confused through the echo of [Black Lord - Broken Soul]."
"I don't need to become an 'Ember Heartfire' who always has fighting spirit; I don't want to be a workaholic."
"When traveling between worlds, caution is more important than fighting spirit."
"Similarly, I can also give up the tranquility of a peaceful place."
"If I have peace of mind, I will lose the reason for recycling components and traveling to another world."
"The capacity of the echo has been reached. You can spend gems to expand it."
"However, the upper limit of the influence of the Wand Appearance Component on oneself is not within the system's judgment, so one should be cautious about almost every manifestation location unless necessary."
Basil began to consider it.
"Elemental-related items like [Screech of Spirals], [Shimmering Waves], and [Beyond the Clouds] don't need to be considered."
"The same applies to the ambiguous descriptions of [Black Gold Brand], [Silver Frost Rose], [Silver Serpent's Bite], and [Dream Traveler]."
"So."
"Specializing in dragonfire might make the [Dragon of Good and Evil]'s [Fire Dragon Breath] even more powerful?"
"The [Emerald Feathers Welcoming the Wind] spell, which allows for unpredictable and whimsical incantations?"
"The [Duel Master that makes me better at fighting and enhances my creativity?"
"The [Brewing Glory] that makes me even better at Potions?"
"The [Electric Swirl] that reveals a new path for the combination of technology and magic?"
"Or should I delve deeper into the power of dreams and Illusion Technique, into the realm of 'Illusionary Foam'?"
"You're the one! [Electric Swirl]"
[Electric Swirl]
[Season 14, Serial Number 1317]
The simple black and white decorations and the circular ring at the end are reminiscent of Muggle flashlight. The wand is also always wreathed in a dazzling, fluorescent blue electric light. When you slip your finger into the ring at the end, the wand spins around your fingertip, shimmering with iridescent light.
As the embellishment expresses.
It is the first numbered gold-quality wand that requires a duel score of 9000 to obtain.
Basil didn't rely entirely on spending money; he obtained the treasures himself.
"How come I never thought of you before?"
"Basil murmured."
[Ding! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! The wand wood is incompatible; it is not a "Truth-Seeking Device," and it is an unconventional wand. Consume 3000 gems to materialize it?]
"Yes!"
—3000
After it materialized, the description of [Electric Swirl] appeared on his retina:
[Eleven and a quarter inches, [Truth-Seeking Device], [Nano Core], Crazy Combination]
[Alchemical items that emit electromagnetic waves and analyze the structure of all things]
[Eternity microscopic engine at the nanoscale]
A fusion of magic and science, a probe into the laws of reality.
Your magic can reach changes at the atomic level.
[Eternity Transfiguration is no longer a pipe dream]
[Transfiguration +50%]
Mechanized Mind
Intelligence +10%
[Insight +10%]
After holding this metal rod, which doesn't resemble a magic wand but exudes a high-tech feel, in your hand.
Reason instantly prevailed.
It's as if a computer has been installed in my brain, and I can easily find the answers to math problems that I used to struggle with.
As a liberal arts student, he understood for the first time what so-called scientific thinking was all about.
The so-called "Mechanized Mind" brings more than just these benefits.
That is the power of understanding.
He can easily observe the atomic structure of a stone.
No need to use magic or cast spells, it's just an instinctive movement like raising your hand and bending your knee.
A magical flow of information composed of countless 0s and 1s appears out of thin air within the body, memorizing the complex structure.
It seems not to be a kind of energy, but rather a carrier of information in the form of energy.
Another talent has appeared on the data panel.
[Number: 000000001]
[Grimoire Level: 4 (1200/1100)]
[Name: Ryan Smith/ Basil Granger]
[Race: Archmage]
[Identity; Hogwarts Gryffindor (Fire spells buff +1%), Second Year Student (Receives 20 gems daily), President of the Witch Club]
[Enrollment date: 1991/07/27]
[Health Points: 31 + 15 + ∞ (Echo Bonus: 1000; False Life: 234 - 245)]
[Self-Existent: As long as there is one person who remembers your name, you will not die]
[Magic Power: 59+12]
[Unified Power: 595.9↑]
Luck rating: 9-15
[Club: Witch Club]
[Family Traits: Destined Twins (Constant), Pregnancy Gaze (Pending Activation), Pupil of Insight (Constant), True Sight (Constant), Dragon Blood of Red Dragon (Pending Ignition)]
With the fusion of these new forces, the Unified Power has grown once again.
While the atomic structure can be seen with the naked eye, magic can also touch and change it.
With the Snap, a pebble and a gold nugget appeared by the window.
0 and 1 meet in the eye, and the structural information of both is memorized.
Raising his hand, the tip of the [Electric Swirl] staff, resembling a metal probe, was aimed at the pebble.
A flash of fluorescent blue lightning streaked across the sky.
The pebbles were stained gold.
"It's incredible," Riddle's senses swelled, "It really turned into gold."
"But the magic you used was negligible."
Apart from Archmage, magic does not exist as a form of energy, but skilled wizards can determine the magnitude of the force they exert by observing fluctuations in the magnetic field.
Basil put away his wand and said with a smile, "Because I changed it at the atomic level."
"This is a combination of science and magic, resulting in permanent Transfiguration."
"Make bigger changes with less effort."
"It's completely different from the principle by which the Philosopher's Stone is used to create gold."
"The Philosopher's Stone acts as an amplifier, amplifying Transfiguration and forcibly allowing the wizard's mind to overcome the laws of physics."
"To give you an analogy, if the laws of physics are like the Ministry of Magic."
"Turning stone into gold is like acquitting a Death Eater."
"The usual Transfiguration is to pay money to propaganda agencies to claim that Death Eater are innocent and to delay their trial."
"Time has passed, but Death Eater are still Death Eater."
"The process of using the Philosopher's Stone to create gold involved bribing the entire Ministry of Magic and using force to exonerate the Death Eater."
"What I just did was analyze the organizational structure of the Ministry of Magic, find key people, cultivate relationships, and clear my name within the rules."
"In this case, the cost will naturally be less."
Riddle suddenly realized, "The power of [Electric Swirl] is understanding, and then influencing?"
Basil shook his head. "Its power is understanding, amplifying the senses, and allowing magic to interfere with the microscopic structure of matter is just a byproduct."
"The destructive power at the atomic level caused by altering the microstructure is insignificant compared to its true power."
"Its true power lies in the fundamental structure of understanding the world."
"Aside from the existence of magic, our world is still composed of atoms and molecules."
"So what I see is the atomic structure."
"On the contrary, if a world is an organization where all things are generated by qi, then what I see is all kinds of qi."
A glint flashed in Riddle's eyes. "In that case, wouldn't it be very useful?"
"If you arrive in a world where even the microscopic composition is different, you can use it to adjust your own structure and integrate into the laws of that other world."
Basil nodded. "That's one way to understand it."
"In fact, the world I have arrived at now is completely different at the micro level."
"The Madison world is spiritually vibrant; the spirits of that world are superior to the physical universe, and the most powerful beings are spirits, not humans."
"Sophie's world of emotional power automatically gathers, thus giving birth to the Fairy Tale Kingdom."
" In Bellatrix's world, the human brain secretes a substance that alters the body when the person is near death. Vampires and Werewolf are born from this."
"Mei's world is naturally full of spiritual energy and can easily connect with people."
"The reason I didn't feel anything unusual is probably because of the presence of magic."
"After all, it's a non-logical fairy tale, the extraordinary power of the comedy world."
"If we disregard magical power, the magic in our world is essentially about the mind over matter."
"And the magic of our world is a strange phenomenon that violates the basic laws of the world."
"My body doesn't need to adapt to the world. As long as I don't notice anything different, my body won't feel uncomfortable."
"After all, all worlds are too similar, differing only slightly at the microscopic level."
Riddle narrowed his eyes. "So as long as I don't think I'm going to die, then I won't die either?"
"Is this the principle behind the Elixir of Life?"
"The Philosopher's Stone acts as a magnifying glass."
