Chapter 371 Whose destiny
Chapter 371 Whose destiny
"This can't be that power, the evolutionary power shown in the information you left behind."
"Yes, it is the power of nirvana."
Purney was the first to react, and after hearing his affirmative answer, a different light flashed in her eyes.
Jiushiti realized it later and was also moved by what she heard.
Without Ivan's deliberate concealment, many people knew that he was promoted to a second-level wizard with the help of a life evolution force, which was the 'Power of Rebirth'.
The power of rebirth comes from the Ant-Man Barrier of the Academy, and is nurtured bit by bit by the Ant King's Rebirth Cocoon Formation.
Precisely because of the existence of this power, many senior first-level wizards in the academy, such as Chris Donnell and Madeline, were reluctant to leave and were secretly competing to gain this power.
Of course, after Ivan came back, all the undercurrents died down.
"There are so many nodes here, which have been nurtured for countless years and have generated so much power. Is it enough to cultivate multiple second-level wizards?" Penny asked eagerly and nervously.
She couldn't help but be nervous. No matter where you are, the power to be promoted to a second-level wizard is hard to come by, and there are even fewer precedents. Who wouldn't want to become a second-level wizard in this way?
"Try to perceive it more carefully and see what you can see." This time, Ivan's answer was not what she wanted.
"The smell of the swamp is so thick, and the power is somewhat mixed. It turns out that it has been polluted." Penny's heart skipped a beat. She sensed it carefully as she was told, and sure enough, she made a different discovery, a bad one at that.
"What about the other nodes?"
"You didn't notice it just now, but it's actually the same."
As Ivan's thoughts flashed, hidden nodes flowed past, and the situations were all bad without exception.
This was a huge blow to Penny, and her hope turned into disappointment.
"Has it been too long?"
"There are factors in this regard. The main reason is that it was not originally prepared for human wizards. If I'm not mistaken, it was actually intended to supply the original creatures in the Ant-Man Vault. Later, for some unknown reason, the supply channel was disconnected, leaving only an imperceptible thread."
The hidden nodes are different from the Ant-Man Barrier. The Ant-Man Barrier was transformed by the predecessors of the wizards a long time ago, and has been carefully maintained since then. It has become something that suits human wizards.
The hidden nodes have been buried deep in the swamp, still continuing Ant-Man's original arrangement.
"You mean the swamp ants?"
"You can say that, but it's not just for the swamp ants. Now it's the only one left."
"Zhe Yi, this is a great fortune."
After hearing Ivan's explanation, Penny had no choice but to give up.
She quickly adjusted to the situation. She knew that she would have more resources and opportunities if she stayed with Ivan. Was she still worried about not finding a good opportunity? The answer was no.
Seeing her mentality change so quickly, Ivan secretly admired her.
In the way of wizards, Penny can be considered a good candidate, but her understanding is a little lacking.
Looking at Jushiti, she doesn’t have such a strong desire to become stronger, and her mentality is more stable than Purnie in some aspects.
However, Jiushiti was able to become a formal wizard with the help of the power of the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, which itself has certain flaws, and every step of her future training will not be smooth.
Time flies.
In the following week, Ivan took the two of them to check out all the hidden nodes under the swamp. He found all the problematic places one by one and knew them like the back of his hand.
"Ivan, aren't you going to continue exploring?"
Although the investigation was boring, the two of them enjoyed it.
Jiushi mainly felt happy to be with Ivan. Besides, not everyone could see the scenery deep in the swamp, so it was also a kind of romance.
Purney was also happy and at the same time gained some knowledge.
"That's enough. Next we need to repair the disconnected parts one by one. You can't help me."
"Okay, we won't bother you then." In the following days, the Ant-Man Barrier made more noise, causing the academy to vibrate slightly from time to time. Ivan sometimes brought his group in and out of the academy to work on something in the nearby Tidal Swamp.
Another week has passed.
Ivan repaired the places that needed to be repaired, and most of the hidden nodes were reconnected to the Ant-Man Barrier. The rest were badly damaged and were completely cut off by him. Anyway, it did not affect the overall situation and it was not worth spending a lot of effort to save them.
In fact, the situation at all nodes is not very optimistic.
These nodes have been buried for countless years and no one has maintained them. They are only maintained by the tiny power transmitted in reverse by the Ant-Man Barrier. It is a blessing that they have not been completely scrapped.
After the repairs were completed, he brought the Ze Ant to the Ant-Man vault.
"Wizard Ivan, do you have any instructions for me?" The swamp ant returned to its birthplace. There was not much fluctuation in his expression, and he still looked dedicated and conscientious.
But it doesn't know that something related to its own destiny is about to happen.
"Zhe Yi, you have been with me for many years and have made many contributions for me along the way. Do you still remember it?" Seeing it so dull, Ivan finally made up his mind.
"Yeah." Ze Yi still acted dull, especially in front of him.
"I'll give you a chance. I'll remove the high-level puppet heart that originally controlled you and release all the potential in your body. However, this will definitely cause you great damage to your vitality." Ivan said again.
"I'll listen to you." Ze Yi looked up at him unconsciously, then quickly lowered his head.
"I can give you a chance, but I have to be frank with you. I hope you won't do anything unnecessary. Just make your own assessment." Ivan emphasized in a deep voice.
As a direct descendant of the ancient Rock Lord and a being supported by the Xidi Ants, the Marsh Ant's growth ceiling should be very high. However, the reality is that its strength has not improved for a long time, which shows that it has reached its potential limit.
In fact, this is caused by the domineering nature of the advanced puppet heart.
If the control of the puppet heart is not released and the identity of the puppet is not abolished, the upper limit of the Ze Yi can only be this far.
Taking various factors into consideration, Ivan decided to remove Ze Yi's puppet status. With his understanding of the 'Sacred Heart of Silk' and his current strength, he is fully capable of doing this.
"Yeah." Ze Yi was silent for a while before nodding heavily.
"Bear with it, it will hurt a little." Ivan instructed, then stretched out a hand and pressed it on the swamp ant's head.
As he exerted force with his palm, a black force penetrated into his head, making Ze Yi feel as if a real hand was inserted into his head, stirring it violently.
Then he pulled it so hard that his head was almost torn in half.
"Roar!"
The swamp ant lay on the ground, but couldn't help but let out a painful roar.
However, the situation did not end there. The tearing sensation quickly spread throughout its body, as if it was going to crush its body, limbs, wings, etc.
This is not just a little painful, it's clearly going to crush me into powder!
In just a few seconds, Ze Yi was in excruciating pain, and his entire body was soaked in blood and sweat.
"All right."
Ivan turned a blind eye and pulled out a red heart-shaped object from its head, a strange object that was half real and half virtual, and one could see the turbid power inside it.
At this moment, the ant was finally freed.
Although the pain had not completely dissipated, it felt an indescribable sense of relief all over its body. It was as if it had been carrying a mountain on its back, but now that the mountain was gone, the dark clouds had also been wiped off its soul.
"how?"
"After suffering a serious injury, my entire body became transparent."
Hearing Ivan's question, Ze Yi looked up at him with a complicated expression. When he saw the puppet heart in his hand, a deep fear appeared in his eyes.
Ivan smiled at this, and a dark grey flame burst out from his palm, burning the puppet's heart to ashes.
