The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 450 The Initial Forging of the Divine Body
The catalyst for the creation of the divine body and the awakening of the witch.
As the threat from the Shadow Council gradually dissipates, the multiverse seems to have ushered in a long-awaited peace.

However, beneath this calm, an undercurrent is quietly brewing.

The witch Amy, with her keen astrological abilities, detected an unusual energy fluctuation.

This fluctuation originated from within David's body; the energy of his multiple bloodlines had reached an unprecedented critical point.

Amy knew that David contained the power of chaos, darkness, and ancient gods. While these powers had greatly helped them in the previous battles, they had also brought unpredictable risks.

These forces now appear to have reached a dangerous balance, where any slight fluctuation could trigger catastrophic consequences.

During a late-night party, Amy shared her discovery with the team members.

Her tone was serious and heavy, and every word was like a warning bell ringing in their hearts.

"The multiple bloodline energies within David's body have reached a critical point. If he were to force a breakthrough, it could trigger elemental collapse, which would be an unimaginable disaster."

Upon hearing this, the team members all showed expressions of shock and worry.

They were well aware of David's importance to the multiverse and understood that if elemental collapse occurred, it would have a devastating impact on the entire universe.

"Then what should we do?"

David pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I have a suggestion that might solve this problem. We can use the 'Wizard Tower Core' as a furnace to reconstruct David's physical body. The Wizard Tower Core contains powerful magical energy, which can help us stabilize and fuse the multiple bloodline powers within David's body, thereby preventing elemental collapse."

"The core of the Wizard Tower?" The team members looked at each other, the name both familiar and unfamiliar to them.

They knew that Wizard Tower was one of the oldest structures in the multiverse, but few knew the secrets of its core.

“Yes, the core of the Wizard Tower.” David nodded. “It is located at the deepest part of the Wizard Tower and is the source of the Wizard Tower’s power. Only true wizards can access it. And I, as the Ice Witch, am one of those wizards.”

Upon hearing this, a sense of hope welled up in the hearts of the team members.

But they also understood that the plan was fraught with unknowns and dangers.

The Wizard Tower is a mysterious and dangerous place, and the core of the Wizard Tower is its very core. Accessing and utilizing it is by no means easy.

However, faced with such a huge hidden danger, the team members did not back down.

They decided to fully support David's plan and work together to find a solution.

Led by David, the team members embarked on their journey to the Wizard's Tower.

They traversed vast snowfields and climbed treacherous mountains, finally arriving at the foot of the Wizard's Tower.

This ancient building soars into the clouds, exuding an aura of mystery and solemnity.

After entering the Wizard's Tower, the team members encountered various trials and dangers.

They not only have to face the complex mechanisms and traps within the wizard's tower, but also the ancient creatures guarding the core of the tower.

But no matter what difficulties they encountered, they always maintained their firm belief and courage, and gradually approached the core of the Wizard Tower.

After several days of arduous trekking and fierce battles, the team members finally arrived at the deepest part of the Wizard Tower.

Here, they saw the legendary core of the Wizard's Tower—a crystal sphere radiating dazzling light.

This sphere contains incredibly powerful magical energy, giving people a sense of awe from the depths of their souls.

Amy stepped forward, closed her eyes, and felt the power of the Wizard Tower's core.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, a determined light shining within them. "This is it. We can use it to reconstruct David's physical body."

Under David's guidance, the team members began preparing for the activation ceremony of the Wizard Tower's core.

He needs to channel the power of his multiple bloodlines into the core of the Wizard Tower, and then use the power of that core to stabilize and fuse these powers.

Deep within the Wizard Tower, the team members held a tense and serious division of labor meeting around the dazzling crystal sphere—the core of the Wizard Tower.

Just then, David stepped forward.

His eyes were firm and deep, as if he had already made a decision.

“Lia, I understand your concerns. But you also know that fighting the Abyss is a responsibility we cannot escape. If I can become a god and possess greater power, then we will be able to better protect the multiverse and our friends. Therefore, I am willing to take this risk.”

David's words made Leah fall into deep thought.

Looking into David's determined eyes, she couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.

In the end, she nodded, indicating her willingness to support David's decision.

Next, Cynthia offered her own suggestions.

“I can use illusion magic to create a ‘mental anchor’ and fix David’s consciousness to that point.”

In this way, even if he encounters danger during the process of reconstructing his physical body, he can remain clear-headed and self-aware, avoiding getting lost in the power.

Cynthia's suggestion sparked a fire among the team members.

They all knew that Cynthia's illusionary abilities were extremely powerful, and that the "mental anchor" was a brilliant idea.

With this guarantee, they can proceed with their next steps with greater peace of mind.

As the Earth Witch, Hill also took on her responsibilities.

"I will be responsible for drawing energy from the ley lines to provide sufficient power for the core of the Wizard Tower. At the same time, I will closely monitor the changes in the ley lines to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Hill's words reassured the team members.

As the Earth Witch, she has a deep connection and sensitivity to the earth.

With her in charge of extracting energy and monitoring changes in the ley lines, they can focus more on the activation ceremony of the Wizard Tower's core.

However, just as Hill was about to begin drawing energy, she suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation.

To her astonishment, she discovered that a "remains of an ancient god" was buried deep underground!
This discovery shocked her and made her realize that the forging of divine bodies might not be as rare and mysterious as they had imagined.

"Come quick, everyone!" Hill shouted excitedly. "I've discovered the remains of an ancient god! This means that the forging of divine bodies may have precedents, and we might be able to learn something useful from it!"

The team members gathered around, carefully examining the remains of the ancient god.

They discovered that the remains were covered with intricate runes and patterns, seemingly containing some profound magic and power.

This discovery gave them a deeper understanding of the forging of divine bodies and provided further inspiration and assistance for their subsequent actions. Finally, Anne stepped forward.

She held a yellowed scroll in her hand, a precious treasure she had acquired early in her life—the "Shadow Pact Scroll".

She decided to dedicate this treasure to the team to stabilize the energy channels and ensure the smooth activation ceremony of the Wizard Tower's core.

“This is the Shadow Pact Scroll I once obtained.” Annie’s voice carried a hint of emotion and determination. “It was once my weapon against the Shadow Council. Now, I am willing to offer it up to contribute to our common cause.”

Annie's words deeply moved the team members.

They all knew about Annie's past being coerced by the Shadow Council, and they understood what this treasure meant to her.

However, at this critical moment, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her personal interests and contribute her strength to the future of the team and the multiverse.

As Annie placed the Shadow Pact Scroll into the core of the Wizard Tower, a powerful energy fluctuation instantly spread out.

This energy resonated and merged with the multiple bloodline powers within David's body, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent forging of his divine body.

Under Amy's command, the team members began to perform their respective duties and cooperate closely.

Leah and Cynthia were responsible for protecting David and stabilizing his consciousness;
Hill continued to draw energy from the ley lines;

Anne, on the other hand, used her meditation techniques to help stabilize energy channels.

A tense and solemn atmosphere permeated the entire wizard tower, as if even the air itself was trembling in anticipation of the impending forging of the divine body.

As the ritual progressed, the power of multiple bloodlines within David gradually converged into the core of the Wizard Tower.

Those originally unruly and difficult-to-control forces became docile and obedient under the influence of the Wizard Tower's core, and began to merge and reconstruct according to Amy's wishes.

During this process, David experienced unprecedented pain and torment.

His body felt as if it were being torn apart, with every inch of skin and every bone bearing immense pressure.

However, he also felt the changes and enhancements in the power within his body.

The previously scattered and chaotic forces began to coalesce into a powerful torrent that surged within his body.

With the initial success of the bloodline fusion, David's physical body began to undergo unprecedented changes.

Under the powerful influence of the Wizard Tower's core, his physical body gradually disintegrated, transforming into streams of pure energy that floated around the Wizard Tower's core.

This energy contains the power of chaos, darkness, and ancient deities, as well as David's own will and soul, which intertwine to form a magnificent and mysterious picture.

The witches knew that this was a crucial moment for divine infusion.

They must maintain a high degree of focus and coordination to ensure that David's soul merges perfectly with this powerful energy, thereby creating a completely new divine body.

To this end, they activated "Soul Resonance," an ancient and powerful form of witchcraft designed to establish a profound spiritual connection, guiding and stabilizing David's soul and energy.

Anne acted first, unfurling the Shadow Pact scroll in her hand.

As the scroll unfurled, a dark and profound energy surged forth, quickly enveloping the team members.

This energy is like an invisible bridge, closely connecting their spirits.

Anne closed her eyes, focused her mind, and tried to peer into David's inner world through the power of the Shadow Pact.

However, something unexpected happened.

In Anne's perception, she unexpectedly glimpsed a heartwarming fragment from David's memory—a snowy night in which David proposed to Amy in the snow.

At that moment, David's eyes were filled with tenderness and determination, a stark contrast to the energetic image before him.

This unexpected discovery stirred a strong emotional response in Anne; her eyes became unfocused, and her body trembled slightly.

This emotional fluctuation was quickly transmitted to the team members, causing the originally stable energy field to become unbalanced.

The light at the core of the wizard tower began to flicker erratically, as if it might go out at any moment.

Amy quickly noticed the change and called out Anne's name, trying to wake her.

But Anne was already deeply immersed in David's memories, her mind intertwined with the power of the Shadow Pact, forming a complex energy vortex.

At that moment, Cynthia demonstrated her wisdom and courage.

She quickly used illusion magic to create a "false body" that was very similar to David's original body, but was made up of pure illusion.

Cynthia placed the illusory body next to the core of the wizard tower and infused it with a powerful illusionary force.

Under the influence of this force, the false body began to recreate some important scenes that David and Amy experienced together, including the heroic scene of the two riding snow wolves together when they captured Silver Fox Town.

These familiar scenes flowed into David's consciousness like a clear spring, stimulating his soul to gradually revive.

He began to feel the fluctuations and changes in the energy around him, and he also became aware of all the efforts the witches had made for him.

David's will began to harden, and he struggled to control his soul and energy, attempting to achieve harmony and coexistence with this powerful force.

However, just as David was about to successfully integrate this power, Hill made a surprising move.

She suddenly knelt down and plunged her hands deep into the ground.

As she moved, a powerful surge of ley line energy erupted from the ground, instantly enveloping her.

This energy contains an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it has some profound connection with Hill.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Hill slowly raised her head, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

“I’m sorry, I’ve kept this a secret for so long.” Her voice was low but firm. “In fact, I have long been assimilated by the ley lines. My true identity is a descendant of an ancient god’s priest. I have been trying to control this power, but now, for David and the future of the multiverse, I am willing to sacrifice my ley line core.”

After saying that, Hill closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, she forced the earth vein crystal core inside her body out from her chest.

This crystal core emitted a dazzling light and contained incredibly powerful ley line energy.

As the crystal core detached from his body, Hill's body gradually became transparent, as if it might vanish into nothingness at any moment.

But her sacrifice was not in vain.
