Why is Downs using the Electromagnetic Gun, while Lein is using the Electromagnetic Cannon?
Why is the Tesla Coil harmless, while the Tesla Tower can obliterate the White Dragon?
Why can a normal convex lens only be used to light a cigarette, while a large one can sweep away an entire demon brigade?
There is only one answer to these three questions—
The gap between them is a beauty called [Intensity]!
Honestly, Lein truly didn't know that when a convex lens isn't made well, it not only makes the focusing effect less obvious but can also accurately refract sunlight, splitting it into a seven-colored rainbow. And when the intensity of the seven-colored rainbow exceeds a certain level, it becomes the magic called [Light of Heaven].
Well, that's just great.
When Lein saw the system's full process description, he was utterly speechless.
[Light of Heaven] was originally only Level 3, also known as a 3rd-ring spell in this world.
In actual operation, [Elemental Land] added a ring to its power, and the school's security department's [Fortification Mode] added another ring.
This was already outrageous enough. But Light of Heaven also had a special characteristic: it dealt bonus damage to undead creatures, and for light-averse undead and evil extraplanar creatures, this bonus damage was doubled! Demons happened to be evil extraplanar creatures. Coupled with Lein's [Spell Power] super-magic specialization adding 50% damage, the spell's power was forcibly boosted to that of a 7th-ring spell.
The magic in Chaos World theoretically only went up to 9th ring, with 9th-ring spells being absurd things like [Major Planar Collapse].
Even at 7th-ring power, it was a spell that only standard legendary mages dared to wield.
But who would have thought that Lein achieved this power by relying on 'physics' as the core, boosted by the system and this peculiar academy land?
The problem was, the other side didn't know that!
Somewhere in Baator Hell, a female half-demon, clad in luxurious, form-fitting armor, with golden rings adorning her ram horns and pale red skin, watched the scene of [Light of Heaven] raining down repeatedly through a black crystal ball in her palace.
At this moment, a male demon of immense build, standing three stories tall, stepped forward: "My lady, I feel that this so-called Archmage's methods are flashy but insubstantial. How can a mage wield divine arts of the God of Light? Please allow me to lead my troops and bring that arrogant fellow before you."
The curvaceous female demon smiled seductively, not answering directly, but instead asked charmingly, "Kaster, how old are you?"
"I... I'm over eighty."
"Then you're still just a baby."
Her master's evaluation immediately drew laughter from other high-ranking demons: "Hahahaha!"
Eighty years old being just a child was perfectly normal among demons.
The female demon chuckled, "Before the Age of Dharma Decline, those annoying Archmages loved to crush their enemies with all sorts of targeted magic. Since this gentleman has hung the head of a White Dragon at his door and smeared the walls with demon flesh, I will temporarily acknowledge his [Neutrality]."
Her subordinate demons all looked indignant but helpless.
The word [Neutrality] wasn't something anyone could just claim.
If a weakling declared themselves neutral, it would be inherently laughable.
With so many ravenous beasts around, wouldn't it be better to offer them a 'feast, drinks, beheading, and then take them as a dog'?
If they can enslave you, they won't bother with pleasantries.
Do you think demons run a charity?
This rule applies to Earth as well. Why can Switzerland, a well-known neutral country, claim neutrality? It's because over centuries, the Swiss beat the Habsburg family, who produced Holy Roman Emperors, into the ground. Switzerland was a poor, rugged land with a difficult populace, which led other countries to recognize its 'neutrality.'
Now, someone holed up in Vulture Dragon Mountain had a similar aura.
Vulture Dragon Mountain never had just one dragon's lair.
If a large force entered, they might provoke other dragons.
Top-tier legendary dragons were beings who could even wrestle with gods.
It was too costly for a large force to enter, and a small force couldn't handle that 'legendary Archmage.'
So, they could only leave it be.
Meanwhile, Downs, after witnessing Master's divine might once again, had long since gone from utterly shocked and astonished to numb.
"Ah! This is what Master you called 'down-to-earth'! Indeed, after so much demon flesh melted, even the road has become smooth."
Lein: Is there a curse word I shouldn't say?
He felt his own crow's mouth was probably blessed.
It was true that the demon brigade was turned to ash by [Light of Heaven], but the residual demon flesh first turned into a large clump of dust containing high spiritual energy, then it drifted down and filled almost every inch of the road.
Because it had been purified by the holy rays, this flesh not only lacked any evil aura or fear-inducing spiritual light but also possessed a warm, sacred aura.
Yet, any strong individual could clearly see what this stuff originally was.
The intent to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys was too obvious!
Interestingly, people from Earl of Ramanque and Barbarossa Empire were also watching Vulture Dragon Mountain. When their people relayed the news back, a King and an Emperor simultaneously fell into thought and issued similar orders:
"Continue observing, and then find a way to make friendly contact with that individual without provoking them."
As for smearing the walls with demon flesh... If Lein hadn't been the perpetrator himself, he would have almost believed it too – the one who did this was definitely a brutal being.
Honestly, before transmigrating, he hadn't even killed a chicken!
Now, he couldn't explain himself again.
What made Lein most frustrated was that within two days, the system prompted him again.
[Congratulations Host, your feat of instantly killing a Devil Brigade has spread throughout the Abyss and become known to many Dark Elves (Drow). Your Legend in the Abyss +1.]
Next, rumors about him began to spread among the Dwarves and Halflings.
After a few days of fermentation, it seemed, perhaps, that Lein realized he had become quite famous.
The only fortunate thing was that the system didn't prompt him that the dashing scene of him killing the Devil Brigade had alerted some god-tier big shots.
No, the real issue was whether gods even existed in this world.
The thought made Lein a tiny bit anxious.
But the immediate priority was to continue cultivating his prized disciple. After all, the stronger Downs became, the stronger his Master would be. More importantly, Downs could serve as a role model, helping him attract more disciples.
This strategy of relying on his disciples, nurturing them, and then benefiting from them gave Lein a peculiar illusion of being a pyramid scheme leader.
