A few days later.
Benjamin stood at the edge of the experimental zone, the corners of his mouth twitching as he watched the bustling scene before him.
After he had proposed the concept of a network virus, there had basically been nothing left for him to do. The research capabilities of these high-level wizards were simply absurd.
With nothing more than a concept from Benjamin, more than a dozen entirely new Wizardry Models had been produced in just a few days.
Those high-level wizards could not even be bothered to test them one by one. They simply created every single option.

A Level 5 wizard from the Logistics Department responsible for receiving guests hurried over, barely able to contain his excitement. "The experiment is about to begin. Lord Martin asked for you at the observation platform."
Benjamin nodded and followed him through layer upon layer of security lines until they reached an elevated platform with an unobstructed view.
On the platform, Martin, the "Ashen Heart," and more than a dozen Level 7 Wizards were already in position.

"We prepared twelve different Wizardry Models." A Level 7 Wizard beside him explained, "Some are good at consuming computational power, some create logical conflicts, and some can directly contaminate the information core. We'll only know which works
