In the dark and deep underground top-secret laboratory, cold and cyber-mechanical instruments were emitting a low hum. In mid-air, countless Blink holographic projection screens with faint blue light were intertwined, like a starry ocean of data.
Ian's body was lazily leaning on a large and comfortable leather high-backed chair. His pair of deep eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate the essence of all things, quietly stared at the clones in front of him who were making reports.
"The current preliminary research results are perfect." Clone No. 1 pushed up the non-existent virtual data glasses on the bridge of his nose, with unconcealable enthusiasm and excitement in his tone.
"Let's start with the project I'm responsible for. Regarding the reverse deduction and construction of 'Supreme Magical Body', the progress has successfully exceeded the 50% mark! I first put Konohagakure into various major Kekkei Genkai of the ninja clan peeled off the cocoon and successfully transformed its underlying logic into pure magical attributes. Then he performed the same operation on the 'ancestor of chakra' Kaguya Otsutsuki. Immediately afterwards So, I used the 'Life Code' in Kaguya's body as the core blueprint, and successfully constructed most of the framework of the supreme magic bloodline. However, the troublesome thing is that the woman Kaguya is only a secondary branch after all, and she is not the real source of the bloodline of the Otsutsuki Clan. Therefore, after reaching this point, the research progress inevitably fell into a dilemma of crawling at a crawl."
Clone No. 1 explained eloquently while waving his fingers to project a massive data stream onto the light screen in front of Ian.
According to common sense, if you want to create a "Supreme Magical Body" out of thin air, the difficulty is no less than that of a mortal reaching for the stars with bare hands. It is a huge and outrageously difficult project.
But the thing about Luck is that with the Otsutsuki Clan's special bloodline as a ready-made blueprint for reverse engineering, the entire deduction process became extremely smooth, just like going along with the flow.
The so-called "Supreme Magical Body", in the grand blueprint of the Arcane Empire, is the source of all magical bloodlines. It is the pinnacle of magical talent that can be given by physical bloodline and is superior to all living beings!
The bloodline height represented by the Otsutsuki Clan in Naruto World is essentially equivalent to the supreme manifestation of Chakra System in this universe.
"According to my extremely sophisticated supercomputing model deduction, even if we really capture the so-called 'Otsutsuki God' in the starry sky at position Eighth Tier in the future and obtain his perfect sample, our research progress will only be able to reach 70% at best, or even lower." Clone No. 1 reported with a hint of regret.
Ian frowned slightly when he heard this, but his brain comparable to a supercomputer instantly understood the root cause: at the level of Energy Dimension, the essence of arcane magic is a source of energy that is far higher-dimensional, more domineering and vast than chakra.
"So, do you have any idea on how to fill in the remaining 30% of the law gaps?" Ian asked in a deep voice.
"Of course there is: the answer is hidden in the thin but extremely mysterious 'Wizard Bloodline' in our own Life Code." Clone No. 1 vowed. In the long history of the Arcane Empire, all wizards, tracing back to their origins, are all descendants of the ancient "Mage Race".
However, this ancient bloodline has been passed down to this day. Apart from giving them a "all-round magic" that is extremely compatible and can easily change the vibration frequency to cast various different factions of magic, it has not brought many other substantial bonuses.
"This makes perfect sense logically." Ian nodded slightly in agreement, "Mage Race is definitely the bloodline standing at the top of the pyramid in the life map of our universe. It is no exaggeration to regard them as the source of all the magical power of 'Cosmic God Plane'. However, this is not enough. We can pursue higher limits."
"You mean... you want to obtain the blood sample of the species with the most incredible magical talent and the most terrifying talent in Omniverse, and then forcibly use it as our ultimate blueprint for creating Supreme Magical Body?" The eyes of clone No. 1 instantly burst out with an unusually bright light of curiosity, which is the kind of fanaticism that scientists have when they see the ultimate Truth.
"That's right. No matter what brilliant achievements the Mage Race in our universe has created, I deeply doubt that if they look at the entire vast Omniverse, it is still unknown whether they can be compared with the overlord races that are truly at their peak." Ian said proudly.
In his deduction, the ancient Mage Race, as a whole civilization, has most likely collectively ascended to the terrifying Twelfth Tier position, and successfully mastered the sky-defying technology of dimensional navigation across Omniverse. However, as for how they lived in the depths of the starry sky after their ascension, Ian still knows nothing.
"This is definitely a crazy idea like a genius! I suggest you check out Akashic Records immediately. However, we have to be mentally prepared. If we really want to redeem this level of supreme bloodline sample from that mysterious recording system, the price will definitely be a desperate number Astronomy. With our current financial resources, I am afraid that even if we go bankrupt, we will not be able to afford even a drop of blood." Clone No. 1 smiled bitterly and poured cold water on it.
"In such a tight financial situation, isn't that when our old mentor with great powers comes in handy?" Ian raised a sly smile on his lips, "However, based on my understanding of that old fox Merlin, if we find him to open the back door this time, he will definitely find another way to make us owe him a huge debt of gratitude."
Ian shook his head helplessly and quickly communicated with Akashic Records's underlying database in his mind. He set the search conditions as "the creature with the highest magical talent among Omniverse" and pressed the search key.
However, the moment the search results popped up on the retina, Ian's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead!
"What's wrong? What happened?" Clone No. 1 was keenly aware of the drastic change in its expression and asked quickly.
"See for yourself." Ian took a deep breath, waved his hand, and pushed the blue data light curtain directly in front of the clone.
"Holy shit... it's actually Mage Race?!" Clone No. 1 looked at the results on the screen and cursed, his voice full of incredible shock. Limited by their current secondary security permissions in the Akasha system, only an unusually brief description was displayed on this light screen.
But this short sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting the depths of their souls: The top-secret information clearly pointed out that it was the ancient "Mage Race" that originated from their universe. After experiencing endless years of conquest and evolution, it successfully reached the absolute pinnacle of Omniverse, and undisputedly took off the supreme crown of "the race with the most magical talent in the universe"!
"In order to reach this level of terror that transcends all worlds, they must have been endlessly and crazily evolving their bloodline and Life Code in the depths of the universe." Clone No. 1 took a breath and murmured to himself.
"This is not the most fatal problem at the moment." At this moment, clone No. 2, who had been quietly peeking aside, suddenly interjected, and his expression became extremely solemn.
'You are right. At this stage when our own strength is still relatively weak, if we forcibly establish a deep causal connection with this terrifying race that has reached the peak of Omniverse through blood, it will definitely be a fire hazard. Numerous deductions flashed through Ian's mind instantly. In the Arcane Empire's Magical Theory, the indelible will of the ancestors often lies dormant in high-level bloodlines.
This means that if someone is extremely desperate to transplant a high-concentration source bloodline, then the ancestor of the bloodline at the end of the universe is very likely to cross the endless Void and directly interfere with or even completely seize this weak descendant through the resonance of the bloodline!
"So, our strategy must be adjusted. We can still use the bloodline of Mage Race as a blueprint for reverse analysis, but we must cut off all cause and effect! We must ensure that the bloodline we finally create is unique and completely immune to the erosion of their will - even if this brand-new bloodline is in the early stages It will appear a little weaker, but we won't hesitate!" Ian's tone revealed an emperor-like iron-bloodedness and determination, "Moreover, when carrying out the final physical transformation, we must completely eliminate and peel off the little bit of Mage Race bloodline existing in our bodies! We will never be slaves!"
Looking back at the time when Empire was founded, when Queen Hermione worked hard to create the extraordinary system called "Path of the Mage", in order to pursue the ultimate compatibility, she deliberately ensured that the vibration frequency of the magic power remained absolutely consistent with the bloodline of the ancient wizard.
At the time, it seemed that this setting did not have any major problems except that it allowed Empire to confidently declare to the outside world, "We have inherited the noble blood of Mage Race, so we are the legitimate and absolute rulers of this universe." However, Ian now has no Bi clearly realized that the superior gods and other overlord races in the depths of the universe would never hold their noses and admit such bullshit bloodline orthodoxy. Once they found out, they would only mercilessly punish Empire and launch an endless and crazy killing of Wild Hunt!
"Since we want to cut off the cause and effect, we must break the boat and make ourselves the ancestors of this new bloodline! Although this means that we cannot reach the top of Omniverse in one attempt, but this is definitely the safest road." Clone No. 1 gave pertinent advice after pondering for a moment.
"That's right. The road must be walked step by step. As long as we continue to plunder resources and climb the ranks in the world, the bloodline we created will naturally continue to evolve." Ian highly agreed with this. After receiving the permission of the main body, Clone No. 1 turned around and reinvested in the vast data system. Calculating. Before continuing to advance the progress of Supreme Magical Body, he also needs to check Pheobe (Fleur)'s research report on the origin of Dragon Bloodline, hoping to draw some inspiration from it for the cross-species bloodline Fusion.
"Now it's my turn to perform." Clone No. 2 strode forward. He casually pulled out a magic cane inlaid with arcane crystals from Void, uttered a few obscure ancient syllables, and cast a newly constructed spell without hesitation.
Buzz!
A pure black sphere that was condensed from absolute "black" and seemed to be able to swallow up even light appeared in front of him without any warning! This black sphere exuded soul-shuddering waves of destruction, and the surrounding space even let out an overwhelmed scream because it could not bear this power. It floated silently in mid-air for ten seconds, and then slowly dissipated under the control of the clone.
"As you can see, this is the 'Grand Annihilation Blast' spell that I newly developed based on the reverse analysis of Shinobi World's 'Truth-Seeking Balls'! The destructive power of this thing is comparable to what we did in <Black Clover>The prototype version created in the world is much more ferocious. More importantly, at the moment of completing this research, I have personally touched the edge of [Authority of Destruction]!" Clone No. 2 reported with arrogance.
"But, its structure is still in an unstable state?" Ian saw through the flaws at a glance.
"Yes, and the culprit responsible for this instability is the so-called 'Yin–Yang Release' in this universe." Clone No. 2 explained helplessly, "In our magic system, there are too many all-encompassing types of elements, far beyond the scope of Chakra. Categories, such as the most classic 'light' and 'dark'. Those Arcanists who specialize in the elemental faction have even been arguing fiercely that 'space' and 'time' should also be classified as basic elements, which even includes 'sound' and 'shadow'."
For some extreme element fanatics Arcanist, they even stubbornly believe that the so-called "sound" and "vibration" are just tiny secondary branches of the "thunder element" at different frequencies.
"However, the underlying rules of chakra are completely different. Except for the most basic five elements, any other escape technique must rely on two or more Nature Transformation to force Fusion to be born. As for Shadow Imitation Technique or Space–Time Ninjutsu, a power involving higher dimensions, were roughly stuffed into the basket of 'Yin–Yang Release', or they simply formed their own group and turned into a secret technique that cannot be explained by common sense." Clone No. 2 continued to analyze incessantly.
"So, when you try to find a perfect substitute for 'yin and yang' in the magic system, you encounter a wall. Because the best counterparts we currently have are 'positive energy' and 'Negative Energy'. But these two energies are, in essence, slightly but fatally different from the law of yin and yang." Ian pointed out the problem pointedly.
Within the Arcane Empire, those Arcanists who specialize in Eastern mysticism have actually conducted extremely in-depth research on the concept of "yin and yang" in Daoist legends, and are trying to find out how it is related to the power of the necromancer. There is a deep connection between the new Negative Energy. Although based on the records of ancient oriental literature, the two have many similarities in their expressions, but at the rigorous microscopic level of magic, they must not be roughly equated.
Ian lowered his head, lightly tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingertips, and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he gave a revelation that was like a guiding light. "Don't stick to the appearance of energy. Try to use the mysterious and deep connection between [Authority] and magic to break the situation."
The eyes of clone No. 2 instantly burst out with a strange look. As a soul of the same origin, he immediately understood the supreme meaning hidden in the original words.
From a macro perspective, all magic skills and all spells are essentially the underlying rules of the universe or the low-dimensional manifestation of [Authority] in the real world.
However, this seemingly perfect definition is not impeccable. Because in a chaotic land that has completely lost its rules and is like a violent void, as long as the realm of the spell caster is high enough, those perfectly constructed spells can still exert their due power without hindrance.
Of course, regarding this point, some top scholars have also proposed another possibility: that the seemingly chaotic and disorderly void actually hides some kind of supreme law that can govern the entire almighty universe. Unfortunately, that level of ultimate truth is currently far out of Lin An's reach even if he stands on tiptoe.
But what is certain is that when the sophistication of a spell reaches a certain level, it can indeed resonate at a high frequency with [Authority] in Void, thus showing some unfathomable connection.
More importantly, Ian was awakened to the discovery during his recent retreat: as a spell caster, if you simply crudely distort and manipulate the laws of the universe, the power it unleashes will be far inferior to the destructive power released by you calming down and perfectly weaving this Law Force into a carefully crafted arcane spell!
"Our ultimate goal is to control the absolute power of destruction!" Clone No. 2 roared excitedly, "So, I can first study the underlying rules of destruction, and then follow the clues to create an unprecedented forbidden spell of destruction. Then, I will in turn, by continuously releasing and analyzing this forbidden spell, to understand the true meaning of Authority of Destruction on a deeper level, thus forming a perfect closed-loop positive feedback loop!"
Under the guidance of the main body, clone No. 2 has completely seen the outline of the future sky-high avenue. He will begin to study the frequency fluctuations of Law of Destruction day and night, which will allow him to incredibly and incredibly collapse all elements of light, darkness, time, space, etc., into the small "Grand Annihilation Blast" sphere.
Once this heaven-defying research is completed, he will have a profound understanding of [Authority of Destruction] like a god! At that level, he will no longer need to work hard like a crappy juggler Fusion uses various different elements to create destruction. All he needs is a thought - just say it! He can directly trigger the Law of Destruction in the world to descend. What a shocking speed it will be, and what an absolute power it will be!
"I know what to do, I'm going to fight it now!" Clone No. 2 turned around and rushed to his experimental table as if he had been given a shot of blood.
"Then, it's my turn now." Looking at No. 2 leaving, clone No. 3, who had been waiting silently, stepped forward, casually opened a large holographic data panel in mid-air, and prepared to start his report.
