Versatile Mage: Summoning Black Dragon, the pinnacle of divine power

Chapter 266 Aiming Too High
……

"By the way, where's Feng Zhoulong?"

After resting for a few days and explaining the situation to everyone at the temple, Caesar suddenly remembered something very important.

Feng Zhoulong's method of fusion.

The boost that thing brings is enormous. It's no exaggeration to say that once it's widely adopted, humanity's magical power will increase by nearly 50%.

Especially for the top forbidden spell class, if those forbidden spell masters also mastered the fusion method, forbidden spell masters of Xi Zhe's level would be comparable to top forbidden spell masters like Su Lu. Top forbidden spell masters like Su Lu would not be afraid even when facing most emperors.

“I went back a long time ago,” Asha'ruya said.

"I went back with Leng Qing."

"What about the fusion method?" Caesar asked.

“He said there are still many things that need to be improved, and after returning from the Dark Dimension, he has also begun to hesitate,” Asha'ruya said.

After mastering the fusion method, Su Lu dared to hunt down an archangel in front of so many people at the Asian Magic Association. What about the others?

The Great Forbidden Spell should be subject to rigorous review by the Forbidden Spell Council, the involvement of several Forbidden Spell Masters, the preparation of numerous spell arrays, and meticulous planning before it can be released at a specific location.

But now, that thing can even be released rapidly above the Magic Tower in Dubai!
Humanity's ability to fight demons has indeed increased, but at the same time, the cost of committing crimes has also decreased significantly.

The release of a powerful curse could even set a strong nation back by decades!
Not everyone can forcibly prevent the arrival of the Great Forbidden Curse like Caesar. Once such a thing spreads, who knows what kind of mess humanity will make of the world.

The Holy City has repeatedly emphasized that demons cannot destroy humanity, but humanity itself may not be able to.

Everyone scoffed at such remarks. After all, the Holy City possessed the most powerful armed group in human magical civilization, so they naturally didn't need to consider what the weak would suffer. It's easy for them to talk when they're not in the same boat.

However, forbidden spells are no longer considered magic.

Their world is fragile and cannot withstand the devastation of forbidden spells, let alone the devastation of great forbidden spells!
Especially after his journey through the Dark Dimension, Feng Zhoulong was terrified.

He feared that humanity would use the power of the fusion method to start another war and then destroy itself.

Is Su Lu powerful?
Even the archangels who stand at the pinnacle of human magical civilization would find it difficult to defeat him, but in the dark plane, in front of the Dark King, Su Lu is nothing more than a pawn that can be manipulated at will.

The fusion method is indeed a powerful force, but it is not enough to make humanity despise everything.

However, humans are a race that lacks self-awareness; once they gain power, they will try to test it.

Luckily, they managed to find someone who didn't bother with them and survived.

But what if we were to test the waters against someone like the Dark Lord?

magic?

In the face of an existence that can rewrite the rules at will, even the most powerful forbidden fusion spell is nothing but a joke.

Even the Dark King, that kind of being, has terrifying beings who can be regarded as children!
The near-death by a forbidden spell and the Dark King's chessboard truly shocked Feng Zhoulong, but at the same time, they also strengthened his ambition to improve the fusion method.

However, the arrival of the heavens and the battle with Caesar that broke through the planes made Feng Zhoulong feel a fear called despair!

That is something that far surpasses the limits of magic!

It is the unreachable sky!
Feng Zhoulong was frightened. For the first time, the scholar who had been diligently pursuing knowledge felt fear because of the power he was seeking, and even considered giving up.

"His Dao heart is shattered?" Caesar said.

“Pretty much,” Asharuya sighed.

"There are too many powers in this world, and magic is just one of them. But he saw something that far exceeded the limits of magic. What he was pursuing and clinging to was so vulnerable. He was afraid."

The scene of Caesar destroying the light-forbidden spell of Xizhe had already brought Feng Zhoulong a shock that was almost like the collapse of his worldview.

Forbidden spell! The supreme power that humanity is so proud of!
It is also the foundation upon which humanity is able to stand in this world!

Even the most powerful emperors would back down because of the forbidden spell.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Great Forbidden Spell that Feng Zhoulong regained hope, proving that the forbidden spell was not without meaning.

However, after falling into the Dark Dimension, the appearance of the Dark King, Caesar's renewed outburst, and the arrival of the final day, Feng Zhoulong's psychological defenses were completely destroyed.

It's like someone striving to climb a mountain, finally seeing the summit, only to have a hand suddenly appear from the sky and casually wipe it away.

And then, right after, another hand appeared and smashed the hand that had wiped away the mountaintop!

That suffocating feeling of despair can only be understood by those who have witnessed it firsthand.

Not to mention Feng Zhoulong, even Sariel, the archangel of the holy city, was shaken.

"Where are Heidi and the others?" Caesar asked.

Are they alright?

“They…” Asha Ruya hesitated.

"Their condition is also not good."

"Were you frightened too?" Caesar asked.

Asha'ruya nodded. "They are both super-level mages, already among the top people in this world. But when they suddenly saw that thing with the shattered dome, their worldview collapsed."

Even if it's just a little stronger, if there's any possibility of reaching it, even just a tiny bit of hope, it can be a driving force to move forward.

But if there is no hope at all, and only despair remains, then there is no motivation left!

"Why are they all so fragile?" Caesar complained.

Asha'ruya looked disdainful. "Easy for you to say, huh?"

“This isn’t a backache problem, it’s a problem of being bored out of your mind,” Caesar said.

"Why think so much? There's no hope, so you might as well just give up?"

"Humanity has gone from the primitive era of eating raw meat and drinking blood to the magical era, from being at the bottom of the magical plane's life races to standing at the forefront today. Did those people at the very beginning ever imagine that such a day would come?"

Did humans possess forbidden spells from the very beginning?

"Before the appearance of forbidden spells, let alone emperors, they regarded monarchs as beings in the clouds."

"If people back then had given up simply because they couldn't see any hope, would we still have the magical civilization we have today?"

"Even though he has already cultivated to the level of a super-class mage, his mentality is still so fragile."

"Even if there's absolutely no hope, even if it's impossible to win, so what?"

"You're not alive anymore?"

"How many magicians are there in the world? How many of them reach the mid-level in their lifetime, and how many of them reach the high-level?"

"Don't they see forbidden spellcasters as gods too? Would they give up on life just because they can't reach the level of forbidden spells?"

"If you can't see hope at the top, why not look at something closer to you?"

"Does one have to aim too high and deliberately seek out self-torture?"

"Isn't that just plain stupid?"
