"If we talk about the most critical factors for promotion, they are probably energy, computing power and will!" Vittorio said thoughtfully.
Constructing an energy body is a delicate job. He originally developed the spell slot for [Shaping - Body Reconstruction], hoping to accomplish it in one go, but he was unable to withstand the impact of the powerful energy tide. In the end, he could only endure the pain of his soul being worn away and rely solely on computing power to construct the various parts of his body bit by bit...
The whole process can only be described as exhausting. If it was ten seconds later, his soul would have completely collapsed...
In those final few seconds, he held on entirely because of his obsession with promotion!
"Fortunately, you are the first one to be promoted." Harov said with fear.
Before, Harof wanted to compete for the first qualification to be promoted to legend. After all, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and his urgency was no less than Vittorio's!
However, it now seems that the perfection of this ceremony is still far from perfect, and the risks are greater than expected.
You have to know that Vittorio is the one who has lived the longest among them. He has been involved in almost every field and his computing power is also the highest among them. Even so, he almost failed. You can imagine how difficult it is.
Harof estimated that when he was constructing his body under the energy impact, he might not be able to think of using soul power to permeate electric current to improve his adaptability to magic power, nor might he be able to allocate computing power to control the magic circle and adjust the efficiency of energy transfer like Vittorio.
"Energy, computing power and will?" Lin En pondered for a while, and he found that he seemed to have the possibility of breaking through the legend.
Energy can be supplied by magic stone reserves and fusion reactors.
Willpower...Lynn doesn't think he is worse than others.
As for computing power...
Although he is only a five-ring great wizard now and is far from reaching the limit of this great realm, but with the support of the Intelligent Brain Magic Network, he is even stronger than an ordinary six-ring wizard in terms of computing power alone!
However, Lin En quickly killed this thought. After all, the strength of the soul body is also a major factor. It is better not to take risks casually...
In this harmonious atmosphere, Tik, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask, "Sir Vittorio, what is going on? I just heard Speaker Harov say that this is a ceremony to be promoted to a legend?"
All the alchemists present were also confused. They had received too many surprises and shocks tonight. Whether it was the "little sun" hanging high in the underground space, or Vittorio's rebirth and death, and the reconstruction of his body in a strange way, it was beyond everyone's cognition.
Vittorio looked at the puzzled looks of Tik and the others, then he smiled and explained. "What do you think legend is?"
"Of course it's an existence that surpasses the great wizard..." an alchemist said without hesitation.
According to the wizard levels divided by the parliament, they can be roughly divided into four major realms: apprentice - formal wizard - great wizard - legendary wizard!
And legend represents the pinnacle of wizards!
"In fact, before this, the so-called legend was just a title!" Vittorio shook his head and sighed.
"Title?" Tik frowned in confusion.
"That's right!" Harov nodded and took over the conversation to explain. "In fact, the Six-ring Great Wizard is the limit that humans can reach, and Legend is a title given to great wizards who exceed this limit, used to compare with those so-called evil gods..."
Harof spoke eloquently, briefly recounting the great war of faith that took place hundreds of years ago and information about evil gods and psychic powers.
These secrets have always been taboos in the parliament and have been strictly blocked. After all, the parliament has not been able to find a safe path to promotion before this. If the news is allowed to spread, it is likely to cause great chaos!
Those old fellows who are trapped in the realm of great wizards and cannot find an opportunity to break through are likely to go astray. After all, the secret method of psychic energy devouring is a real shortcut to advancement!
Although this shortcut leads to an endless swamp that can swallow people silently, it is worth a try for those who have lost their way and can only wait for death!
The evil wizard rebellion back then is the best example!
An entire school of psychic powers and tens of thousands of innocent poor people died, all because of the evil wizard Merck's ambition to become a god!
Now that the road to legend is open, there is naturally no need to hide it anymore.
Because the prerequisite for accepting faith is to become a six-ring great wizard, and not everyone can become an evil god, not to mention the risk of losing oneself and becoming a puppet of faith.
"So that means you were all just pseudo-legends before?" Tik said subconsciously, but soon realized that it seemed a bit impolite and inappropriate to call them that!
Because the legendary level itself is defined.
Harov was not angry, but nodded casually. "You may think so!"
From now on, the classification of wizard levels needs to be redefined. Only wizards who have completed the promotion ceremony and built an energy body can be called legends, that is, seven-ring wizards!
The rest will be classified as six-ring wizards or pseudo-legends, even he and Aurora are no exception!
Of course, this is only temporary. It won’t be long before they can reach this level and become true legendary wizards like Vittorio!
Harov had no doubt about this. After all, they were the best among the six-ring wizards and only they could reach the pinnacle of thousands of wizards. If even they could not complete the promotion, then others would have no chance at all.
"If I'm not mistaken, the false god [Ella] should also be at this level." Vittorio suddenly said from the side.
Lin En immediately looked over with interest. Vittorio, who had already been promoted, naturally had more say than them.
In fact, the idea of constructing an energy body is also based on the physical study of Chief Judge Joshua.
"Then do you have the ability to do the same things as that false god? For example, freezing time and space, the coming of the kingdom of God, making your words come true, and reshaping the body..." Harof said curiously.
They had come into contact with Ella twice, once as her real body and another time as her incarnation, both times left a very deep impression on him.
Not to mention the main body, he almost killed them all in just one encounter.
Even though it was just one incarnation, the four of them could only barely contain it, and in the end they managed to turn the tables by relying on the massive nuclear explosion!
This is the power of legend!
There is a qualitative gap between each major realm!
"There is no problem with reshaping the body." Vittorio said thoughtfully.
His current body may seem like flesh and blood, but it is actually made up of magic and energy. Even if it is damaged, it can be quickly repaired by relying on [Shaping - Body Reconstruction].
The core component is the magic power furnace located in the heart, which can spontaneously absorb the dissipated magic power and energy from the outside world to replenish itself and maintain daily consumption.
However, this is not a big weakness. Even if the magic power reactor is destroyed, it only temporarily loses the ability to automatically absorb energy for endurance. It can be reshaped and will not cause a fatal impact.
"Doesn't that mean it's equivalent to immortality?" Tik said in amazement.
No matter what kind of injuries he suffers, he can recover quickly. Even being beheaded or cut off will not be fatal. Such an opponent can only be described as terrifying.
Harof and Aurora also frowned, thinking about how to deal with it.
"No, of course there is a way!" Vittorio shook his head and hesitated for a moment. Considering the need to deal with the false god later, he expanded his domain to include Lin En and the others, isolating the inner and outer worlds. Only then did he speak carefully.
"There are two methods I can think of right now. The first is to attack at the soul level, directly targeting the origin. Any damage to the soul is difficult to repair and requires a long period of nourishment."
Once the soul is destroyed directly, it will be meaningless no matter how quickly the body recovers.
"The second is that repairing the body requires a large amount of magic power and energy. If it is severely damaged multiple times in a short period of time, it will not be able to draw enough magic power and energy to recover..."
The reason why a nuclear explosion can destroy Ella's incarnation is that its power can destroy the opponent's body thousands of times in an instant, making it impossible to repair it.
Lin En nodded, which was consistent with his previous thoughts...
“As for the means such as God’s words, freezing time and space, and the coming of the Kingdom of God, I already have some guesses, but it will take some time to verify them.” Vittorio said with a little embarrassment.
To them, the realm of legend is completely unknown. He just broke through today and hasn’t even figured out his own condition yet. He needs to study hard for a while before he can develop the corresponding magic.
However, the increase in power brought by the promotion made Vittorio even more wary of the false god of the church.
A few months ago, the battle with the opponent's incarnation made him have a bad guess.
[Ella]'s condition seemed to be different from what they had guessed. Perhaps she had gotten rid of the troubles of the poison of faith and walked out of another path. After hundreds of years of accumulation, she was definitely not just a seven-ring legend. She might have already crossed over to the eight or even nine-ring level!
As for how big the gap is, Vittorio cannot assess it for now.
Unless... I can come into contact with the other party's true body again!
"It doesn't matter. Since we are not sure about one-on-one fighting, let's attack together!" Harov said without hesitation.
Once they have all completed their legendary promotion, it will be three against one!
If it really doesn't work, there are still several six-ring great wizards in the parliament. Although there is no guarantee that all of them can be successfully promoted, they can make up for the comparison of combat power between the two sides to a great extent.
[Ella] No matter how strong she is, as long as she doesn't exceed the limit of legend, a group fight will always be effective!
Lin En and others were thinking and discussing the method of "killing gods" in the field. Tik and others who were in the outside world could only see a few people's mouths slightly open, but could not hear any sound at all.
A full half hour later, the field was removed and the discussion was already over.
Under Vittorio's command, the wizards present began to finish the work and check whether the entire alchemy circle was damaged during the ceremony.
"The guiding array is working fine!" "The conversion rune is about 30% damaged..." "The surface of the reactor is showing signs of dissolving. We suggest using magic to reinforce it again."
With the joint efforts of hundreds of alchemists, all the data were quickly summarized one by one. Since Lin En had taken various emergencies into consideration when making the magic circle, the damaged runes did not affect the overall shape and could be used again after being repaired.
What really saddened the speakers was that they had used up 60% of the 100,000 magic stones they had prepared!
You have to know that this is all the remaining reserves of the parliament!
Fortunately, they recently discovered a new magic stone mine, otherwise they would have to worry about how to obtain magic power!
"The remaining 40,000 magic stones should be enough for one person to advance, right?" Aurora thought and spoke out.
Harof also thought of this immediately. Although the ceremony just now used up a full 60,000 magic stones, that was because Vittorio was promoted for the first time and took a lot of wrong paths, which consumed a lot of magic power in vain.
"But there is not enough deuterium and tritium fuel!" Lin En shook his head. About 80% of the fusion fuel has been consumed, and the 'little sun' in the reactor is almost a lot smaller than before.
Lin En vaguely discovered that the color of the core was slightly darker than the rest.
That should be helium in plasma state... It comes from the fusion of deuterium and tritium elements, but I don't know if it can undergo secondary fusion.
Harof and Aurora also knew that obtaining fusion fuel would not be a quick matter, so they had to temporarily suppress the idea of rapid promotion.
Anyway, the method is already there, and becoming a legend is only a matter of time.
It just so happens that they have a lot of things to do during this period, such as continuing to repair the damaged alchemical runes, improving the promotion ceremony, and seeing if the frequency of energy input can be adjusted to be more appropriate...
Even if it can increase the probability of promotion a little bit, it is worth it!
Chapter 471: The long-lost Saint, the strange situation in the city of fire oil
In the evening, in the city of kerosene, inside the wizard academy.
Philip was speaking at the podium, explaining the seventh element on the periodic table - nitrogen - to the apprentices and formal wizards below!
As the most abundant element in the atmosphere and one of the first elements that all apprentices come into contact with, it has not been taken seriously by wizards in the past.
After all, it is difficult for this thing to produce magical reactions with other common elements, and it is even considered a useless element by many schools of thought.
However, this is obviously just because some people's research on nitrogen is not in-depth enough.
For example, in Master Lin En’s [Research and Analysis on Plant Photosynthesis], it is mentioned that nitrogen is one of the essential nutrients for plant growth.
Rumor has it that the cardinals of the church have mastered a special divine art - natural rain, which can greatly increase grain production. Its principle is probably to use nitrogen as fertilizer. The effect is more than 60% higher than the yield-increasing magic developed by some elemental schools!
This is enough to show that the church has far surpassed them in the understanding and application of nitrogen, and now is the time to catch up!
