The remaining larger and heavier elements are usually created in cosmic wonders such as supernova explosions and binary star mergers.
Around the reactor, the strong laser beams gradually went out. After the fusion process began, this method of heating was no longer needed. The high temperature generated by itself was enough to maintain the formation of the fusion reaction!
An endless stream of energy gushed out from the core, and under the effect of the transformation and guidance array, it was absorbed by the energy storage runes that covered the entire underground space...
"Can we prepare for the ceremony now?" Vittorio could hardly suppress his excitement, and his voice trembled slightly.
"It should be OK..." Lin En nodded, then looked at Vittorio, who had very obvious dark circles under his eyes, and spoke carefully. "Are you sure you don't want to take a break, Speaker Vittorio? You don't seem to be in a good condition right now!"
"No, I'm fine, very good!" Vittorio was extremely excited and said without hesitation.
He has been waiting for this day for more than two hundred years. Now the time is ripe and he doesn't want to wait any longer!
Vittorio strode forward fearlessly and walked to a platform about 300 meters away from the reactor. Then he took out bottle of legendary potion and drank it, just to increase the probability of promotion even a little bit!
"What is Lord Vittorio going to do?" Tik was confused and hadn't figured out what was going on.
"This is the ceremony for advancement to legend!" Harof glanced at him and explained with a serious expression.
"Oh, um...ah?" Tik nodded at first, then he was stunned.
Become a legend?
But aren’t the Speakers legendary wizards?
Why do I need to be promoted again?
The other alchemists were also confused.
Harof did not give a long explanation. He just felt that Tik and the others were lucky to be able to watch the promotion of legends and come into contact with the most original power of magic.
About ten minutes later, the potion had taken full effect, and Vittorio opened his eyes again, having recovered to his perfect state.
Lin En actually felt a strong vitality from this old body!
"Come on!" Vittorio took a deep breath, let everyone move back a sufficient distance, and then activated the spell.
The next moment, dozens of illusory pillars made of magic power suddenly rose up, separating the inner and outer worlds in an instant.
Then, all the alchemical runes used to store energy lit up one by one, and through the guidance of magic, they were all gathered on the platform where Vittorio was standing...
A huge amount of energy was materialized in the form of thunder. The flashing arcs were transmitted along the runes and finally poured into Vittorio's body.
Electric arcs as thick as thumbs surrounded Vittorio's body and began to destroy him at the cellular level. Even though the physical fitness of the "legendary" wizard was not comparable to that of ordinary people, every cell had been completely immersed in magic power, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a humanoid beast, but it still collapsed rapidly under such a huge energy impact.
Such pain is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure. Vittorio's forehead was exposed with blue veins, and his body was shaking continuously. The terrifying thunder washed over every inch of his skin, every drop of flesh and blood, and even penetrated into his tissue cells...
The body's disintegration began quickly, with the skin starting to peel off piece by piece, followed by the muscles and blood vessels that had been electrolyzed.
But after all, he had lived for hundreds of years, and the path to advancement was right in front of him. Vittorio endured the pain brought by the dissociation of his body. He did not try to cast a spell to stop it, nor did he cry out in pain. Instead, he silently felt the subtle changes from life to death...
Under the horrified gazes of Tik and others, Vittorio's body was enveloped in the fierce electric arc and was peeled off layer by layer. The flying body tissues turned into ashes before they even hit the ground.
In just thirty seconds, Vittorio had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
He is dead!
This is indeed true on a biological level, but the soul of a great wizard can survive for a short period of time even if it is separated from the body. In the constantly surging and flickering lightning, a blue shadow is looming!
"Congeal!"
After his body was completely destroyed, Vittorio finally spoke!
A huge amount of magic power was drawn out in an instant!
In order to complete this ceremony, he prepared a full 100,000 magic stones, which was all the savings of the parliament!
The density of magic power on the entire platform rose rapidly. With Vittorio's computing power far exceeding that of a six-ring wizard, the huge amount of magic power was quickly poured into the soul and body, and was quickly and orderly transformed into various human elements...
Constructing a mimicry magical body is not an easy task.
There are dozens of elements that make up the human body, of which oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen are the most critical. There are about nine essential minerals, which make up 99% of the body tissues. In addition, there are many trace elements...
Fortunately, Vittorio had recorded all the data of the body in advance and developed a technique called [Shaping - Body Reconstruction], so in just a dozen seconds, the flesh, bones, and internal organs had quietly taken shape...
"Did it succeed?" Aurora, who had been paying attention to the promotion ceremony, whispered to herself.
However, the next moment, the body that had just formed was submerged, torn apart, and destroyed by the violent power of thunder...
The body constructed by magic is as thin as paper under the impact of powerful energy!
Vittorio obviously had no intention of giving up, and continued to increase the mobilization of magic power. Regeneration and destruction occurred almost at the same time, in a continuous cycle.
Such a horrifying scene made Tik and the others tremble with fear. They keenly noticed that the spirit of the speaker was becoming increasingly dim...
The soul is inherently fragile. Even at the level of a great wizard, it cannot survive permanently away from the body, let alone expose it to violent energy shocks.
"Should we slow down the input of energy first?" Aurora said worriedly. It would be better to wait for Vittorio to complete the construction of his magical body first.
"No, there's no need for that, and we can't do that!" Lynn shook his head.
Thunder and water... are the basis for the birth of life. The power input is carefully calculated by them. If it is lower than this level, there is no way to fill the interior of the building elements with energy.
"He is too impatient. He should take it step by step!" Harov couldn't help but sigh.
As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Harov could naturally see some problems. Vittorio wanted to build the body in one go and then inject energy into it...
But now it seems that it is obviously not feasible, so it is better to proceed step by step from the inside out!
This is also the disadvantage of the first promotion. All the difficulties encountered in the whole process are unknown. Once you take a wrong step, you will waste very precious energy and a lot of time in vain.
And Vittorio only has less than five minutes!
This is the time a spirit at the level of a six-ring great wizard can survive a high-intensity energy shock. If this limit is exceeded, it may be severely damaged or even completely annihilated!
In fact, the situation was worse than they expected, because Vittorio had mobilized a large amount of computing power when constructing the magical body, and the state of the spirit was deteriorating at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, Vittorio quickly realized that with his own abilities, he could not directly construct an entire body under the energy impact.
After a moment, a heart slowly emerged in the center of the spirit. It was beating rapidly and regularly, but what it pumped out was not blood but energy!
What appeared next were the blood vessels connecting the heart and the bones in the chest. A strong electric current went straight through the spirit, as if trying to destroy it again, but this time the speed of growth and repair was much faster than the speed of collapse.
Just like how Anthony relied on his physical body to receive the baptism of electric current to improve his perception of electric current, the electric current will be weakened after passing through the spiritual body, and the remaining current will be permeated by soul power, which is the energy suitable for integrating into the magical body.
"Let's try to increase the power!" Lynn said thoughtfully.
It's even higher... The alchemists present were terrified and some even wondered whether Master Lin En was going to murder the Speaker.
Harof nodded and pointed at the fusion reactor. The plasma flame suddenly shot up high as if being pulled by something. A huge fire tornado reappeared, spinning continuously into the sky, and was absorbed by the transformation and energy storage runes on the top, and continuously sent to the platform.
The heart and bones that had just been constructed were shattered by the sudden strengthening of lightning. After being repaired again, they seemed to be a little different from before, and were a little more solid in comparison.
However, the more powerful energy impact also shortened the time that Vittorio's spirit could last!
This minute is the moment to decide life or death, victory or defeat!
Come on, let me see if the path I have conceived is right...Lynn's eyes were fixed on the promotion platform.
Ten seconds, thirty seconds, fifty seconds...
A minute passed in a flash, and Vittorio's figure was completely submerged in the light of thunder, and there was no movement for a long time.
"Should we stop the ceremony first?" This time even Harof couldn't help it. The time limit had exceeded and Vittorio's spirit might have been damaged.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin En agreed. The legendary promotion might have failed. If he stopped the energy input now, there might still be a glimmer of hope!
The three disappointed people were about to terminate the entire promotion ceremony, but just as they were about to take action, they were surprised to find that the frequency of energy extraction was further strengthened!
Lynn, Harof, and Aurora looked at each other in astonishment, and when they realized that it was not the other party who did it, a slight look of joy appeared on their faces.
Since it wasn't them who did it, then it could only be Vittorio who was undergoing 'electrotherapy'!
Because only four of them have the authority to control the fusion reactor!
After realizing this, Lin En and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party was still able to spare the computing power to control the formation, it meant that Vittorio was still fine and there was nothing serious.
The legendary promotion only existed in theories and formulas before. No one knew what kind of obstacles they would encounter in the process. There was nothing they could do except wait!
Half of the 100,000 magic stones were consumed in an instant, and the output of the fusion reactor could no longer keep up with the energy extraction.
Just when Lin En began to worry about whether the energy reserves were sufficient, the lightning in the sky above the platform finally dissipated!
No, the word "dissipated" is not appropriate to describe it. To be precise, it was all absorbed.
A blue figure soon appeared in front of everyone, and its power was particularly terrifying!
Vittorio walked out step by step. With every step, his energy-based body became more solid. By the time he actually walked out of the platform, he had completely restored his previous flesh and blood body. His aura also became extremely restrained, no different from that of an ordinary person!
"Congratulations, Speaker Vittorio!" Lynn congratulated.
The corners of Vittorio's mouth curled up slightly, then the curve got bigger and bigger until he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahahaha~"
"Legend, so this is a legend!" Vittorio's face was full of excitement that could not be concealed.
It has been more than two hundred years since he became a six-ring wizard. His life span has long come to an end. He completely relies on potions to maintain his existence. His body has long been old and corrupted, and the spirit inside him is like carrying a heavy burden at all times, tightly bound by chains.
After changing into an energy body, it was like a person who had been imprisoned for a long time finally breaking free from the cage. The refreshing feeling was simply indescribable!
Aurora and Harof were also delighted. Vittorio's success proved that Lynn's theory was correct. They had finally found the right path to advancement to legend!
"Your spirit should not be damaged, right? Speaker Vittorio, we thought you were about to collapse." Lin En asked again.
Although the ceremony was fortunately successful, there were too many variables beyond their imagination, and these are areas that need improvement.
Vittorio slightly suppressed the joyful expression on his face and began to explain.
In the ceremony just now, his soul and body did suffer a certain degree of damage, but the benefits brought by the promotion were greater.
According to Vittorio's estimation, the soul body would be able to fully recover within a week with the nourishment of energy. The upper limit of computing power that had been restricting him was also broken, and the range and accuracy of manipulating elements instantly increased by several levels!
Chapter 470: From now on, the wizards' power levels will be rewritten!
In order to break through the realm, Vittorio experienced a life-and-death experience, and he still has lingering fears.
The physical body is completely destroyed, and the soul is surrounded by thunder, which is a very uncomfortable feeling!
Even though he no longer had organs that could sense pain, his psychic perception had become extremely sharp, as if he had been thrown into a furnace... His will was being worn away, and it was a feeling far more terrifying than death!
With some palpitations, Vittorio recounted all the problems he encountered during the promotion ceremony.
The first thing is that the frequency of energy input and output needs to be readjusted. The values they calculated before were completely wrong and did not take into account the loss caused by the electric current passing through the spirit body.
