Approach

The solution—so it really was this simple.

Benjamin stood in the middle of the laboratory, looking at the dozens of design blueprints and data panels spread across the workbench. His face bore an expression that mingled sudden realization with self-mockery.

The drawings were densely filled with the various complex schemes he had designed over the past decade or so to solve the problem of "energy dispersion"—multilayer energy-focusing arrays, dynamic collapse force fields, phase-superposition interference models—

Each had cost him immense effort. Each had attempted to forcibly restrain that overloaded energy with ever more intricate and complex "control structures."

But now, under the overclocked state of thought brought about by Incense Divine Power, he clearly saw the other side of the problem—or rather, he had been completely trapped in a fixed way of thinking.

"I've always been thinking—how to use the Immortal Cultivation System's ability to manipulate external Spirit Energy to increase the power of wizardry."

There was nothing wrong with that line of thought. It was indeed the most straightforward path to merging the two Power Systems.

Put simply, it meant leveraging a cultivator's innate advantage in mobilizing environmental energy to "overcharge" Wizardry Models that were originally based on "leveraging multipliers," allowing them to produce destructive power far beyond their design specifications.

But it was like forcibly installing an engine capable of producing the power for five hundred kilometers per hour into a sports car designed for a maximum speed of two hundred.

The engine's power was certainly greater, but the sports car's suspension, brakes, tires, aerodynamic structure—

None of them could withstand it.

Although Benjamin had used his own knowledge to reinforce the other aspects as well, when the power became truly excessive, the result was either losing control and overturning, or wasting most of that power on meaningless
