Benjamin

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Benjamin entered the Wizard World as an outsider and believed exposure would lead to experimentation, dissection, and exploitation. When compelled to attend an aptitude assessment, he used the Inner circulation Method to conceal his true condition and deliberately presented himself as a Level Six talent—conspicuous enough to be valued, but not enough to attract overwhelming scrutiny. 1 2

He enrolled at Noren Academy and chose Alchemy Studies to understand the Wizard World's materials and energies through the knowledge he carried from another world. Mentor Clark accepted him as an apprentice of Noren Workshop, approving of both his discipline choice and quick grasp of its tools. 6

Benjamin secretly cultivated alongside his wizard training. After forming his first Truth Rune and igniting Spirit Fire, he discovered that his cultivation technique could convert Elemental power into True Essence, linking the two systems that would define his later path. 11

His otherworldly knowledge is supported by the Great Dao Library, which provided his Refining Essence into Qi method and records of cultivation techniques such as the Flame Talisman. He chose Alchemy partly to adapt this knowledge to the Wizard World without exposing its origin. 6 33 83

During the Gray Rock Plane trial, Benjamin initially prioritized collecting and testing materials rather than cooperating with other apprentices. Once the Indigenous Coalition targeted him, he dismantled its formation through mobile Rune Artifact warfare and ultimately destroyed its attacking force with sustained firepower. Although he formally ranked only thirty-sixth, the apprentices who witnessed the battle regarded him as the trial's true first place. 53 54 56 61

Before leaving Noren Plane 13, Clark arranged an aptitude-modification mission that allowed Benjamin to visit his family one final time. Benjamin found that his parents and numerous siblings had become strangers to him, confirming his separation from his mundane roots and his commitment to the extraordinary world. 85

Benjamin later realizes that his apprenticeship places him in the founder's direct lineage: Clark studied under Anton Buchanan, who in turn studied under Noren. Although he recognizes the protection and prestige this background can offer, he does not regard it as a substitute for his own strength in the multiverse. 372

Appearance

Benjamin can appear unremarkable when operating under a false identity, but his true presence becomes increasingly difficult to conceal as his cultivation advances. His forms and presentation vary greatly between disguises, wizard attire, and his Dharma Body.

• Uses semi-permanent disguise potions to reshape his face, height, bones, and muscles; he assumed the appearance of the adventurer Jack in this way. 116
• Usually wears practical wizard robes rather than conspicuous combat equipment. 467
• His Life-Bound Dharma Body is a dark-gold giant with two faces, a book in its left hand, and a rainbow mirror in its right. 620
• The Dharma Body's front face appears refined and Daoist, while its rear face is calm and scholarly; both bear a golden vertical mark between the brows. 620
• After becoming a True Form, he can manifest a normal human-sized body that is outwardly indistinguishable from flesh and blood. 625
• His Body Tempering Method can produce a massive, muscular combat form suited to enduring extreme environmental damage. 588
• When he reveals his undisguised appearance to Eric, he becomes taller and more sharply featured, with shoulder-length hair reflecting a faint dark-gold sheen and a dark robe resembling flowing metal. 671
• Through the Mustard Seed Dao-Containing True Body Art, he can manifest a five-hundred-kilometer humanoid true body when a puppet body cannot wield sufficient power. 893
• His Triple Dharma Manifestation can expand to two hundred and fifty thousand kilometers during full-scale void warfare. 897
• His initial True Form is a thousand-meter Dharma body; its forehead markings function as eyes and contribute to his full 360-degree vision. 624
• Can manifest only part of his True Form, turning a limb dark gold with sharply defined muscles and fine rune patterns around the joints. 636
• A golden vertical marking appears on his forehead after his awakening in the City of Emptiness, resembling an eye opening and closing amid shifting light. 676
• Can alchemically alter a projected body's appearance to match his own, as he does with Gavin's body during the Sacred Spirit conflict. 921

Personality

Benjamin is cautious, calculating, and intensely observant. He habitually gathers intelligence before acting, regulates the information he reveals, and treats concealment as a survival necessity. His decision to falsify his aptitude result and delay wizard-meditation success reflects his preference for controlled visibility over immediate recognition. 2 8 11

His pursuit of knowledge is single-minded. He can spend years or decades in laboratories, neglecting his appearance and ordinary schedules while studying alchemy, laws, cultivation, time, biology, or anomalies. 370 547 728

Despite his ruthlessness toward threats and deceivers, Benjamin is not emotionally detached. He rewards genuine effort, grieves for fallen friends, and recognizes that his moral judgments must concern the individual rather than their status or origin. 120 227

Benjamin places survival and personal objectives before unrequested heroism, as shown by his initial refusal to involve himself in the Gray Rock Plane conflict. However, once he is hunted or accepts responsibility, he becomes decisive and unyielding rather than retreating from danger. 53 54

He is also increasingly aware that power has changed his instincts and emotional responses. After killing an adventurer to assume the identity of Jack, he recognizes with discomfort that he no longer instinctively feels emotional turmoil over killing someone outside a personal conflict. 116

Benjamin is willing to take calculated extreme risks for knowledge and adaptation. During his battle with the Spatial Fold Beast, he deliberately endures repeated spatial attacks so his Body Tempering Method can analyze and overcome them, while retaining enough control to turn that adaptation into victory. 872

He is receptive to sound advice and appreciative of sincere concern. After confirming Clark's goodwill, he accepts the hometown mission rather than resisting it, and he later respectfully accepts Clark's warning that even trust in a mentor must not replace reasonable suspicion. 85 165

Benjamin distinguishes rank from practical strength and resources from understanding. He regards wizard advancements as opportunities to bear more complex knowledge rather than automatic combat victories, and he recognizes that his advantages do not give him the comprehension of the most exceptional cultivation geniuses. 383 456 616

Abilities & Skills

Inner circulation Method

Benjamin's foundational cultivation technique allows him to regulate his internal state with exceptional precision.

• Severs or limits his connection to the outside world to conceal spiritual-power fluctuations during testing. 2
• Lets him maintain the facade of a novice wizard despite far greater control over spiritual power. 8
• Converts absorbed Elemental power into True Essence. 11
• Continues functioning naturally after he creates a human-sized body from his True Form. 625
• Can completely seal wizard mental power within his body, making his aura indistinguishable from an ordinary mortal's. 116
• Its effectiveness and the size of his Internal Space are closely tied to his cultivation realm. 191

Refining Essence into Qi and Dual-System Cultivation

Benjamin's Great Dao Library cultivation method coordinates the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, linking his physical vitality, cultivation energy, and mental or soul strength. Its ability to function across the structural differences between worlds remains one of his most important unresolved research questions. 80 83 153

• Strengthens his body and soul alongside True Essence, helping him maintain control during cultivation breakthroughs. 35 80
• Can generate Spirit Energy despite the Wizard World's materials and energies yielding only elements under ordinary analysis. 83 153
• Allows a wizard-rank advancement to pull lagging cultivation and physical vitality upward, as occurs when he becomes a Level 4 Wizard. 383
• Allows unusually strong physical development to accelerate mental and cultivation-energy growth, eventually helping satisfy wizard advancement requirements. 439 456
• Spirit Transformation greatly improves recovery, mental-power efficiency, reasoning, and perception of energy and material structures, though it does not independently raise the mental-power quantity fixed by his wizard rank. 396
• Does not remove the comprehension bottleneck of higher cultivation: accumulating more essence, qi, and spirit alone is insufficient to enter Void Refinement. 456 458 616
• Void Refinement moves his lifeform toward an information-based existence, greatly improving his comprehension of information-related and Fate School knowledge. 621 636
• Dao-Integration fundamentally changes his perception of the world through direct merging with it, but initially threatens the continuity of his identity. 679 680

Body Tempering Method

Benjamin created a personal body-cultivation method by adapting Charles's Body Element Tempering Technique. Rather than relying on Spirit Energy, it uses elemental energy to temper flesh and awaken bodily potential. 154

• Rebuilds muscle and bone under elemental impacts, rapidly increasing strength, toughness, and vitality. 154
• Evolves through injury, combat, and environmental pressure; it adapted Benjamin's body while he fought a Time Afterimage. 434
• Grants extraordinary physical defense, eventually exceeding the average physical defense of a Level 6 Wizard. 458
• Its rapid growth can disrupt the balance of essence, qi, and spirit, causing reduced bodily control, impulsiveness, and emotional instability. 154 439
• Its adaptive evolution eventually imitates the knowledge-sorting effect of Entropy Brains, contributing to the evolution of Benjamin's soul. 624
• Allows him to methodically develop specialized resistance to heat, cold, lightning, corrosion, wind blades, gravity, and physical impacts through repeated exposure to real damage. 588
• Supports a massive physical combat form and brings his physical strength to the peak of Level 6. 588
• Can adapt specifically to conceptual spatial-wave attacks, improving his law resistance, spatial stability, physical structure, and the connection between his soul and Dharma Image. 872
• Incorporates an elemental-stacking principle derived from Echo Bomb into his close-range strikes, causing each successive punch to gather more elemental energy and destructive force. 872
• Improves the computational and deductive capacities of his brain and soul, supporting original spatial research and increasingly sensitive detection of concealment techniques. 340 510
• At ordinary Level 6 physical standards, lets him withstand many Level 5 spells and survive direct exposure to stellar conditions. 458
• Develops resistance to anomalous effects, making contact with his body harmful to the Graffiti Anomaly's tentacles. 636
• Continues adapting during prolonged warfare, including his ten-year battle against the Three Great Monarchs. 954

Alchemy and Biological Research

Alchemy is Benjamin's principal wizard discipline and the basis of much of his research, concealment, artifact production, and biological engineering.

• Builds and expands laboratories through alchemical methods, including the spatially expanded basement laboratory beneath Dawn Mansion. 119
• Refines disguise potions and analyzes foreign materials, energies, and lifeforms. 116 189
• Develops cultivation-compatible medicinal baths and longevity medicine. 439 590
• Conducts advanced clone experiments using his own genetic material and soul fragments. 784
• Acquires biochemical knowledge to improve and study the Lava Giant race. 226
• Creates a longevity medicine that stabilizes its user's body and soul at their peak condition rather than producing an immediate explosive increase in strength. 590
• Develops Life Stabilization Field Technology, a major spatial-regulation technology that attracts wide attention during the Void Architecture Institute's academic exchange conference. 832 834
• Combines Alchemy and Analysis Art for detailed inspection of matter and energy; their early scouting radius is only slightly over a hundred meters, making them inadequate against a prepared encirclement. 54
• Uses Alchemy and Analysis Art on himself to acquire unusually precise control over his own energy, supporting the production of cultivation treasures. 65
• Verifies that simulating a body's environment and cultivation circulation can reproduce elemental-to-Spirit Energy conversion without fully understanding the underlying cultivation principle. 157
• Creates Crystal Blade Patrollers based on the Mutant Spider-Snake, equipping them with Phase Space concealment and Spatial Slash for specialized assassination. 383
• Enhances projected bodies and severs the energy connections of restraint apparatus through Alchemy. 921

Blood Sacrifice Method

Benjamin develops a Blood Sacrifice Method that safely accelerates spiritual-power growth. Clark and Anton Buchanan test it with their own clones and confirm its usefulness across multiple wizard levels. 792

• Uses a Blood Sacrifice Array as the technique's operational framework. 792
• Produces gains substantial enough for Anton to compare them with the spiritual power obtained by draining seven or eight medium-sized planes. 792
• Is submitted to the Star Ring Federation for broad promotion rather than sold privately. 792
• Earns Benjamin the highest available Military Merit revenue share, with an option to convert future proceeds to Advanced Military Merit, but does not qualify for a Level One Training Agreement. 792

Internal Grotto-Heaven

Benjamin possesses an Internal Space that produces Spirit Energy without an external source.

• Confirmed through experimentation that it generates Spirit Energy “from nothing,” rather than drawing on vacuum energy or an outside source. 82
• Stores combat supplies, Magic Potions, Wizard Artifacts, and backup energy pools. 245
• Expanded at least tenfold during a cultivation anomaly, eventually replenishing Benjamin's Spiritual Power in approximately fifteen minutes. 625
• Is supported by the Incense Divinity Path's energy-transmission system, allowing its expansion to remain stable despite immense Spiritual Power consumption. 625
• Houses Black Giant Priests, Floating Cannons, strategic materials, and other forces that can be deployed rapidly through spatial means. 371 512
• Contains an Automatic Factory that ultimately replaces the production role originally intended for The Nest. 546
• Can receive a continuous energy supply from the Purgatory Sulfur Plane's Level 7 Large Elemental Pool through the Incense Divinity Path's cross-space transmission system. 576

Incense Divinity Path

Benjamin has built an immense plane-spanning energy and population-management framework in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

• Uses an initial main framework to circulate energy steadily across the plane and support the continued expansion of the Black Giant population. 363
• Generates genuine Mortal Aura through the growth and activity of the plane's inhabitants. 363
• Provides the energy-transmission support necessary for the Internal Grotto-Heaven's stable expansion. 625
• Requires continual restructuring as the plane's population expands and its administrative demands increase. 681
• Adapts the Divine Power Faith Network's principles into ultra-long-range, precise energy transmission across space, with talismans and divine-possession rituals serving as comparable ways of calling on stored divine power. 328
• Gains a Fate-related numerology subsystem to improve reconnaissance, causal tracing, and information processing. 546 549
• Supplies Incense Divine Power from ten billion believers to support his progression through Void Refinement. 623

Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror

Benjamin's natal Dharma Treasure is an ancient bronze mirror based on concepts of light and able to exist between illusion and reality. 158

• Can undergo repeated refinements, each substantially increasing its quality and power. 158
• Achieved its First Refinement after Benjamin obtained the Light of Creation. 158
• Reached its Third Refinement before Benjamin prepared to enter the Void Refinement Realm. 619
• Resonates with the mirror held by his Life-Bound Dharma Body. 620
• Supports Light Transformation Escape, allowing Benjamin to become a streak of light to evade pursuit. 495
• Has its spirituality awakened through Mortal Aura tempering, though it requires recovery time after the process. 145
• Its First Refinement doubles Light Transformation's duration and permits shields to persist through transformation, albeit with destabilization and weakening in the tested Level 4 Shield. 158
• Its intelligence can independently activate linked Rune Artifacts using Benjamin's authorized spiritual power, forming the control basis for his first six autonomous Floating Cannons. 158
• Supports informationization in the composite framework used to maintain his God of Light Transformation during Information Plane research. 576

Rune Artifacts and Defensive Treasures

Benjamin combines cultivation tools with wizard-engineered artifacts.

• Eye of Investigation — Improved with True Essence and spiritual power; projects information across a limited area. 64
• Mystic Gang Mortal Dust Barrier — Defensive Dharma Treasure resistant to curses and mental attacks; later upgraded using Flower Deity Malice. 191 458
• Floating Cannons — Autonomous combat artifacts that can be detonated at close range to halt an advancing enemy. 158 518
• Return to Void Armor — Defends against a spatial-jump assassination attempt alongside Spatial Stabilization. 490
• Soul Search Wizard Artifact — Extracts and organizes a target's memories, including identity, habits, local knowledge, and mission information. 116
• Anti-Magic Disk — A strategic-grade device purchased with Military Merit that creates a temporary Absolute Anti-Magic Field, compensating for Benjamin's continued physical combat capability in energy-suppressed conditions. 462
• Li-Fire Extinction Divine Light metal plates — Millions of enhanced plates stored in the Internal Grotto-Heaven as prepared wartime resources. 462
• Movement Rune Artifact — Supports flight and Lightness Spell movement, enhanced by cultivation lightness techniques; Benjamin cycles through several during guerrilla warfare. 38 54 55
• Acceleration Rune Artifact — Raises reaction and movement speed enough to track the Blood Angel, at the cost of severe informational strain and pain in his brain and soul. 112
• Energy-Storage Rune Artifact discs — Three discs supply the energy required for his Great Light Manifestation during the Blood Angel battle. 112
• Substitute Doll — Prepared by Clark to bind to Benjamin's life aura and soul imprint after being infused with his mental power. 165

His Rune Artifacts combine cultivation talisman techniques with wizard runes, using a small amount of mental power as a key to mobilize surrounding elemental energy. Their development progresses from sustained low-level barrages to increasingly powerful externally fueled attacks. 33 278 581

• Foundation Establishment allows him to produce Level 1 Wizard-grade Rune Artifacts while still a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. Their adjustable energy bolts range from bullet-like impacts to heavy-cannon explosions capable of flattening a football-field-sized building. 93
• Golden Core cultivation improves his ability to integrate external energy directly into a Rune Artifact's destructive output rather than relying chiefly on firing rate and stored reserves. 278
• Information Plane experience enables Level 4 Rune Artifacts whose repeatable attacks surpass ordinary Level 5 spells, though they remain below Level 6 spell power. 581
• After the academic exchange conference, he begins developing a Level 6 Rune Artifact and an offensive beam spell using Wizard Redes's Rune Frequency Combination Technique. 838
• His later research returns to disposable, mentally activated spell carriers resembling ordinary talismans, despite his original goal of combining talisman explosiveness with durable Wizard Artifacts. 886
• His modified Return to Void Armor can convert sustained incoming energy into its own power, provided the attack's instantaneous intensity does not exceed its tolerance. 457

Spatial Wizardry

Benjamin combines spatial research, cultivation techniques, and rune models to conceal himself, control battlefields, and escape stronger opponents.

• Develops Spatial Stabilization and Phase Space from the Mutant Spider-Snake Crystal Carapace Spatial Stabilization Element Model. 366
• Uses Phase Space to enter spatial gaps where conventional active detection is ineffective. 374
• Derives Spatial Slash from Phase Space for attacks and emergency escape. 366 494
• Modifies Void-Step into a composite spell model, allowing his body to enter high-frequency resonance with environmental energy and evade through irregular movement. 460 514
• Uses Spatial Stabilization as a camouflage membrane while infiltrating hostile camps and as a means of forcing hidden enemies out of spatial interlayers. 487 494
• Deepens his Return to Void Artistic Conception with Plane Origins to improve the defensive power of his armor. 462
• Uses the Mustard Seed Dao-Containing True Body Art to traverse otherwise impassable routes through hostile void regions and to manifest his full true body when needed. 820 893
• Uses Void-Step to erase his aura and maintain a virtualized state during infiltration. 714
• Can shift his enormous Dharma Manifestation hundreds of thousands of kilometers through folded space during combat. 897

Time Law and Temporal Techniques

Benjamin's temporal methods originate from his cultivation, repeated Time Afterimage experiences, and increasingly deep Law comprehension.

• Uses Void Ashes Return-to-Origin Hand to affect time, prevent outside interference, and later rewind the Spatial Fold Beast's movements to create counterattack opportunities. 814 872
• Demonstrates Time Reversal on the Duel Platform by restoring the entire Duel Arena to its original state. 869
• Combines temporal rewinding, regeneration, grappling, and adaptive evolution to counter enemies whose bodies exist as vibrating spatial waves rather than conventional matter. 872
• Incorporates time manipulation and time-reversal healing into The Nest, allowing it to recover from severe combat damage. 546
• Uses Void Ashes Return-to-Origin Hand to restore both himself and the Dragonblood Mushroom People during the mechanical-legion battle, but an enemy Space-Time Anchor prevents further use. 897

Divination, Analysis, and Information Processing

Benjamin applies spiritual perception, divination, and specialized tools to investigation and battlefield planning.

• Used divination to identify a surveillance blind spot in a royal estate and conceal his actions with an illusion. 130
• Uses the All-Purpose Eye to assess lifeforms, energy conversion, physical traits, and special abilities. 365
• Reviews memories from previous cycles to identify enemy tactics, traps, and triggers for time reversal. 408
• Developed a soul trait that automatically organizes newly acquired knowledge after extensive Entropy Brain use. 624
• Stabilizes and strengthens a Law Solidification Domain capable of empowering Wizard Artifacts. 766 767
• Uses the Fate System to monitor causality across an entire town, detect abnormalities, and identify deviations in Fate Lines. 635
• Gains an initial, dangerous insight into Fate Law by combining Dao-Integration, evolved Entropy Brain-like cognition, body tempering, and knowledge from two worlds. 810
• His True-Delusion Breaking Pupil passively improves through years of research and cultivation, allowing him to record dangerous phenomena with confidence. 889
• The True-Delusion Breaking Pupil includes Minute Insight, which analyzes energy flows and Law structures, and Origin Tracing, which traces an object's fundamental form of existence. 713
• Combines this ocular art with the All-Purpose Eye and Fate System to interpret information and represent otherwise invisible phenomena as visible images or symbols. 713
• Uses the True-Delusion Breaking Pupil, Fate System, and Fate Law to inspect his own causality, then severs regional Fate connections and erases residual information with Causal Shadow Tracing Technique to conceal dangerous spoils. 817
• Tempers his soul with Mortal Aura, experiencing countless mortal emotions and gaining purer mental power, finer spell control, and faster Alchemy, though his soul needs time to digest the experience. 145

Anomaly and Psychic Research

Benjamin studies anomalous phenomena with the same caution and experimental rigor that he applies to wizardry and cultivation.

• Uses the All-Purpose Eye, Fate System, and Spatial Stabilization to analyze and capture anomalies such as the Crevice Dweller. 657
• Improves sealing techniques, aberrant separation, and treatment methods for Psychics, greatly extending lives and treating otherwise fatal soul damage. 671
• Determines that anomalous entities can possess fusion rules and observes Archwizard Alston's plan to integrate anomalies into his own life-form. 671
• Maintains covert mental-energy marks on selected Psychic Association members while avoiding physical markers that could be detected through Fate-related anomalies. 663
• Uses Partial True Form Manifestation to interact with anomalies as an information-based lifeform similar in nature to their rule-fused existence. 636
• Suppresses and seals a local's snake-like anomalous entity into a bead during his first encounters in the Dark Night Anomaly. 638
• Extracts and re-encodes anomalous aura from fragments to disguise himself as an Anomaly, allowing him to stand in the Dark Night without light or triggering its hostility. 649
• Acknowledges that direct soul modification is a stronger specialty for him than conventional soul-related wizardry. 640

Combat Transformations

Benjamin can combine cultivation, wizardry, and law-based techniques into specialized combat forms.

• God of Light Transformation — An energy-based body that enhances strength, speed, and durability. 523
• Imaginary Elements — Increase environmental variables and interfere with an opponent's Fantasy Law. 518
• Self-Aspect Freedom True Form — His natal Dharma Image, selected for compatibility and manifested as his Life-Bound Dharma Body. 619 620
• True Form — A physical transformation with amplified senses, 360-degree vision, spatial manipulation, and the ability to form a human-sized body. 624 625
• Triple Dharma Manifestation — A high-level manifestation deployed alongside the God of Light Transformation when Benjamin confronts two Level 8 creatures. 814
• Void Ashes Return-to-Origin Hand — A technique that affects time and prevents outside entities from approaching the battlefield. 814
• Final Ray — Benjamin's strongest offensive technique; when combined with the second-stage God of Light Transformation, it envelops his Dharma Image in pure white destructive light and grants rapid regeneration during combat. 872
• Mustard Seed Dao-Containing True Body Art — Allows Benjamin to bring forth an immense true body capable of acting in the Main World at a scale far beyond his normal humanoid manifestation. 893
• His fully enlarged Triple Dharma Manifestation can retain God of Light Transformation and Void-Step mobility even while exchanging attacks with Level 8 enemy warships and mechs. 897
• Full-Power Stance · Great Light Manifestation — Combines numerous Rune Artifacts, high-rate energy fire, defensive shields, acceleration, and stored energy into an early full-output combat configuration. 112
• Dual Dharma Manifestation — Used to meet the planetary beast Godly Armament 0-001's punch during the assault on the Tentacle Tree Civilization's Home Planet. 702
• Great Annihilation Divine Light — Destroys an enemy firepower node during the battle against the Level 8 mechanical legion. 897

Story Role / Major Arcs

Noren Academy Apprenticeship

Benjamin enters Noren Academy under a deliberately restrained Level Six talent assessment, joins Alchemy Studies, and begins integrating wizard meditation with his concealed cultivation system. 2 6 11

He earns attention through alchemical work and crisis response, including stopping a collapsing laboratory separator during a sealed accident. 26

He adapts the Great Dao Library's talisman records to alchemical materials and wizard techniques, laying the groundwork for his Rune Artifacts. After intensive investigative-artifact research leads him to late-stage Qi Refining, he eventually reaches Foundation Establishment while still concealing his true strength. 33 63 80

Gray Rock Plane Trial

Benjamin enters the Gray Rock Plane primarily to test Rune Artifacts and collect rare materials, remaining largely detached from the other apprentices' struggles. When the Indigenous Coalition begins hunting him, he conducts guerrilla attacks against its outer formations before directly intervening in the besieged valley. 53 54 55

Using multiple Fireball Rune Artifact sets, Benjamin sustains a bombardment of thirty-six fireballs per second and destroys the Indigenous Coalition's attacking force. The witnesses thereafter consider him the uncrowned first place of the trial, despite his official ranking of thirty-sixth. 56 61

The Coalition's ability to surround him without entering his short-range material-analysis perception exposes a reconnaissance weakness. He resolves to improve dedicated scouting wizardry, leading into his subsequent Eye of Investigation research. 54 63

Planar Missions and Golden port

Benjamin uses Rune Artifacts, analysis, and guerrilla tactics to disrupt the Indigenous Coalition and relieve pressure on besieged Noren Academy apprentices. 54

During the Elite Trial, he can already manufacture formal-wizard-grade Rune Artifacts despite remaining a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. His contribution ranking rises rapidly, and he later confronts the Blood Angel using Full-Power Stance and the Great Light Manifestation while Amy and Victor escape deeper into a mine. Their destructive aerial exchange becomes a contest between Benjamin's stored energy and the Angel's remaining divine power. 93 100 112

While operating in Golden port, he assumes the identity of Jack, builds a concealed laboratory beneath Dawn Mansion, collects Hundred Flower Dew, and later defends the villa from Orc and rebel attackers. 116 119 120 123

Benjamin later escorts Golden Port nobles to Eloria City's Royal Capital under the identity of Jack. He secures full command authority, all battlefield spoils, and a royal commendation, then uses the assignment to investigate divine power, hidden rune formations, and the city's political factions. 125 129 132

He deliberately allows local authorities to interpret his suspicious behavior as that of an Orc agent, since any plausible local origin serves his underlying objective of appearing to belong to their world. Anya nevertheless recognizes his distinctive life aura, leading to a meeting with other disguised wizard geniuses. 129 135

Territory and Body-Cultivation Research

Benjamin develops his Body Tempering Method, uses elemental environments and Magic Beasts to improve bodily control, and studies the Lava Giant race for biological breakthroughs. 154 226

Upon returning to his Golden Garden after fifty years, he finds that his former territory has become a human kingdom ruled by Otto, one of his old slaves. 218 219

After reaching the Golden Core Realm, Benjamin begins large-scale development of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane. He plans a Level 7 Large Elemental Pool, upgrades its infrastructure and energy networks, develops the Incense Divinity Path, and creates specialized aerial and aquatic combat units rather than forcing the Black Giants into unsuitable roles. 279 330 363

He also serves at Noren Academy No. 147, maintaining the broadcast and monitoring system for its first Graduation Trial. Forty years later, completion of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane's second and third transformation phases gives him a finished energy network and enough power to accelerate Black Giant incubation toward one mature giant per year. 286

With Nascent Soul cultivation and increasingly developed conversion technology, he plans to transform the plane's violent fire elements into pure Spirit Energy, creating a world-scale laboratory for investigating the Spirit Energy Law. 328

False-World Investigation

After falling into a temporal-branch world, Benjamin finds himself in a fabricated ordinary life alongside false versions of familiar people. He identifies inconsistencies in his parents' memories and records, reconnects to his Internal Space, and concludes that many fallen wizards may be trapped under constructed identities. 342 347 348

He eventually determines that only the four figures posing as his parents, Amy, and Victor are truly false, while the other inhabitants possess genuine souls obscured by implanted memories. 357 358

Valid scientific knowledge unfamiliar to him and the physical reality of the surrounding planets complicate his initial suspicion that everything is an illusion. Investigation with Rex leads him to conclude that the hidden presence assigns people lives shaped around their deepest desires. 343 351 356

Benjamin confronts the Justice system through its four fabricated figures. He recognizes its ideal of fairness through stripping extraordinary power and supplying desired ordinary lives, but privately rejects the assumption that removing power can eliminate the conflicts and inequalities of intelligent society. 357 358

Sphere Will and Time Afterimage

Benjamin investigates the Sickle-Skull Race and the Sphere Will through memories from previous time cycles, discovering enemy tactics and potential traps. 408 431

The Sphere Will traps him in a temporal branch and creates a Time Afterimage of Benjamin to force a battle against his own abilities. Benjamin defeats it, causing his Body Tempering Method and combat understanding to evolve. 432 434

His subsequent repeated training against the Time Afterimage strengthens his body to roughly average Level 6 defensive standards, while exposing the imbalance between his body, essence, qi, spirit, and Spiritual Power. 458

Before that later training, he supplies Commander Frost with information from earlier cycles, allowing the Wizard Legion to turn the enemy's temporal loop against it. The fourth cycle's opening engagement ends within an hour with negligible wizard losses and the destruction of three critical enemy teleportation nodes. 409 413

After a century of Samsara Plane research, Benjamin reaches a knowledge barrier and returns to Noren Academy No. 147 with accumulated military rewards, research archives, and a complete Level 7 Sickle-Skull specimen. 437

Coordination War

With the Coordination War announced far earlier than expected, Benjamin intensifies his preparations by strengthening his body, mind, Spiritual Power, defenses, combat units, and Internal Grotto-Heaven reserves. He acquires an Anti-Magic Disk and prepares millions of Li-Fire Extinction Divine Light metal plates. 460 462

During the war, Benjamin defeats thirteen Level 5 Wizards, escapes multiple Level 6 pursuers through Light Transformation Escape, kills the Holy Son despite severe injuries, and survives a battle against a black-robed Level 6 Wizard whose power threatens even higher-ranked wizards. 489 495 503 507 514 518

He accepts a dangerous reconnaissance assignment behind enemy territory and cooperates with Blake, first through parallel scouting and then by following Blake's advance reconnaissance. When the black-robed wizard traps him in a desperate battle, Augusta comes specifically to reinforce him after learning his location from Blake. 510 511 520 526

Information Plane and Fate System Research

After removing The Nest's factory role and converting it into an adaptive aquatic warship, Benjamin identifies reconnaissance and information processing as remaining weaknesses. He purchases a Fate Law textbook and begins building a numerology subsystem for the Incense Divinity Path, eventually raising his Spirit Energy Law mastery from 30% to 33%. 546 549

During Information Plane research, he works with high-level wizards on a composite transformation supported by the Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror, Ashen Fire, Return to Void Armor, and continuous plane-supplied energy. He then struggles against a civilization whose information attempts to invade, analyze, and assimilate his memories and knowledge. 576 578

The experience improves his environmental-energy control enough to overcome his Level 4 Rune Artifact production bottleneck, even though he has not yet entered the Void Refinement Realm. 581

Anomaly Plane and Eric's Apprenticeship

Benjamin enters an Anomaly Plane under a new identity, acquires materials through Black Brokers, attends Psychic Association auctions, and studies the world's anomaly phenomena. 640 642 644

He recruits Eric as a prospective Psychic and later departs after assigning him a final task, revealing his true appearance before leaving the bookstore. 668 671

Benjamin's techniques substantially aid the Psychic Association by improving anomaly seals, separating aberrant conditions, and treating soul damage. In return, the Association tacitly shields his unexplained identity rather than investigate the source of his knowledge. 671

His early encounters include sealing a snake-like entity and using Soul Search on local captives to learn the world's language and society. Later, he develops a fragment-based anomalous disguise that makes the Dark Night Anomaly treat him as one of its own. 638 649

Higher Cultivation and Research

Benjamin refines the Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror, advances into Void Refinement, manifests the Self-Aspect Freedom True Form, and undergoes a major evolution of his Internal Grotto-Heaven. 619 620 624 625

He continues pursuing the Spirit Energy Law rather than accepting an easier path to Level 6, builds systems for large-scale research and production, and prepares academic work for exchange with other wizard factions. 733 766 767 804

After Dao-Integration and a three-hundred-year seclusion, Benjamin learns that Clark is preparing for a Level 7 advancement. This prompts Benjamin to reconsider his own approach to law comprehension and the possibility of following Clark's research model. 679 681

His Void Refinement lifeform grants a breakthrough in understanding information-related knowledge, helping him finally enter the conceptual foundation of Fate School research. With vast plane resources and divine power, he reaches Void Refinement completion over several decades before transforming his Dharma Body into his true body. 621 623 624

Benjamin later develops the Blood Sacrifice Method, has Clark and Anton Buchanan verify its safety and effectiveness with their clones, and secures Federation promotion with continuing Military Merit revenue. 792

Tentacle Tree Civilization Campaign

After defeating a Tentacle Tree fleet, Benjamin directs Black Giants to dismantle its frozen warships while The Nest recovers vessels outside the plane. He copies their databases, studies their quantum-entanglement communications and extensive self-destruction systems, and accepts Supreme Commander Valak's unconditional surrender. 690

He subsequently abandons gradual conquest to seize the civilization's Godly Armament research, splitting his forces among four critical worlds and personally attacking the Home Planet. Li-Fire Extinction Divine Light annihilates its assembled Main Fleet. 702

Lu Xin awakens Godly Armament 0-001 through the sacrifice of the planet's population. The weapon consumes the Home Planet's biomass and transforms it into a planetary beast; Benjamin meets its punch with Dual Dharma Manifestation, is driven through a dwarf planet, and returns to the attack as his Body Tempering Method adapts. 702

Strife Starfield and Alliance Conflict

While traveling through the Strife Starfield, Benjamin trades Magic Potions for rare materials and studies the technological systems of smaller wizard civilizations. At the same time, he analyzes repeated assassination attempts and concludes that his enemies know far less about his true abilities than they should. 810

When the Multi-Race Alliance and the Level 8 creature Tripe attempt to silence him, Benjamin activates Triple Dharma Manifestation and the God of Light Transformation. He withstands their joint assault and uses the Void Ashes Return-to-Origin Hand to isolate the battlefield. 814

After eliminating the two Tripe creatures, he checks his causality to confirm that acquiring dangerous spoils was accidental rather than a prepared trap. He then severs local Fate connections and removes residual information to conceal possession of the Reflection Prism. 817 835

Void Architecture Institute Academic Exchange

Benjamin attends the Void Architecture Institute's academic exchange conference, where he meets the spatial scholar Savien and helps modify the Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol. Their discussion establishes Benjamin as a genuine peer within advanced spatial research rather than merely a promising junior. 822 823

He presents his Life Stabilization Field Technology before a packed venue attended by Savien, Bastian, and Morna. The technology's potential to improve adaptation, stability, and survival in Wizard Legion operations brings Benjamin substantial recognition and income after its release through the Magic Network. 832 834

Savien also helps deflect suspicion over the Reflection Prism. Benjamin subsequently encounters and defeats a newly advanced Level 7 Wizard, but remains dissatisfied with the gap between his performance and Clark's former Level 6 combat strength. 834 835 838

Upon returning to Noren Workshop, he lends the Reflection Prism to Noren and Anton Buchanan under a research-sharing agreement. He reviews his gains in knowledge, Laws, income, and connections before prioritizing the development of a new Level 6 Rune Artifact and beam-type offensive spell. 838

High-Level Duel Gathering

At a gathering attended by Level 7 and Level 8 Wizards, Benjamin reveals a breadth of temporal mastery that had been obscured by his reputation as a spatial scholar. By using Time Reversal to restore the Duel Arena in full, he compels the observing Level 8 Wizards to regard him as a developing peer. 869

Benjamin also recognizes that Clark is deliberately restraining himself against Azrael in order to preserve diplomatic balance, factional face, and the practical benefits already obtained by both sides. 869

Spatial Fold Beast Battle

Benjamin confronts the Spatial Fold Beast, a colossal lifeform composed of vibrating spatial waves whose claws can cut dimensions and bypass ordinary defenses. He completes a second-stage God of Light Transformation, combines it with Final Ray, and uses Void Ashes Return-to-Origin Hand to rewind failed exchanges. 872

By repeatedly exposing himself to the beast's attacks, Benjamin allows his Adaptive Evolution and Body Tempering Method to overcome its spatial properties. He then destroys it through grappling, temporal control, and elemental-stacking punches, though he regrets being unable to capture the rare lifeform for research. 872

First Investigation Team and Fleet Battle

Benjamin joins the First Investigation Team at Noren Academy No. 1 alongside Chloe Nasha, Ed, Tori, and Elma. As the investigation escalates, he abandons his normal puppet body and manifests a five-hundred-kilometer true body through the Mustard Seed Dao-Containing True Body Art. 889 893

During a subsequent fleet battle, Benjamin deploys a two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-kilometer Triple Dharma Manifestation in God of Light Transformation, using Void-Step to evade concentrated fire from Level 8 warships and mechs. Even with Return to Void Armor failing under sustained bombardment, he continues measuring his limits and seeking ways to reduce the enemy's numerical advantage. 897

He destroys a firepower node with Great Annihilation Divine Light, but the mechanical legion disperses and maintains its pressure. The Black Giant Legion and Dragonblood Mushroom People suffer heavy losses as their line retreats; his temporal restoration initially helps, but an enemy Space-Time Anchor blocks further use. 897

Benjamin's Dharma Manifestation crumbles and he approaches collapse before Noren arrives. Noren erases the incoming volley and the surrounding mechanical units across several million kilometers within fifty-three seconds, while Anton Buchanan destroys the mechs engaging Benjamin's forces and tells him to rest. 897

After a destructive Elemental Gravity Wave appears to kill Chloe, Ed, Tori, and Elma, Benjamin reunites with them and learns that their prepared resurrection methods have restored them. 900

Sacred Spirit Conflict and the Three Great Monarchs

Benjamin projects power into another world in response to Jack's request for help. The available body's carrying capacity restricts the projected mental power to approximately Level 1 Formal Wizard strength, but his retained knowledge, combat experience, and Law comprehension allow him to barely wield Level 5 Formal Wizard power. He enhances Gavin's body through Alchemy, gives it his own appearance, and introduces himself to Jack as his “system.” 921

He later fights the Three Great Monarchs for ten years, enduring an exhausting struggle while his body gradually adapts and the battle region becomes a death zone. Meanwhile, Augusta uses the forces he left behind to conquer more than half of the Sacred Spirit Civilization's Plane Cluster. 954

When Augusta joins the battle, the Blood-Tentacle Tyrant attempts to retreat. Benjamin holds all three monarchs in place while Augusta strikes with near-light-speed plasma, finally bringing them down. Exhausted by the prolonged battle, Benjamin offers Augusta a share of the conquered territory; she asks only for a copy of the acquired knowledge, and the two depart to oversee cleanup and consolidation. 954
