I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 136 The Wonderful Uses of Mortal Worldly Energy

After a moment of silence, Jemin abruptly changed the subject:

"By the way, where's David?"

Jemin's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Keller and Anya. He remembered hearing information about "Kaden" before.

"That village soldier... was it him?"

Serafina frowned slightly and shook her head gently: "To be honest, I'm not too sure either, but I can confirm that David is definitely not dead."

"Oh?"

Hearing her say that, the other three also quietly moved closer and listened carefully.

Serafina smoothed her hair: "David's major is alchemy, and his minor is puppetry. Plus, his mentor is the top human transmutation alchemist in the entire Norn Workshop. Even I don't know how many spare bodies this guy has."

"So it seems that Kaden is indeed not David, but judging from his behavior, he should also be a wizard."

Jemin felt a little disappointed; it seemed that David's situation remained a mystery.

However, the most important thing now is to activate the magic array as soon as possible.

They soon turned into the depths of a long-abandoned sewer network.

Jemin took the lead, his scouting eyes operating at full power beneath his cloak, guarding against potential enemies.

“It’s just ahead.” Rex’s voice rang out from behind, tinged with a rare excitement.

He abandoned his scholarly demeanor, his eyes now gleaming with calculating light, his fingertips tracing the faint runes in the air, providing final guidance for the path ahead.

Based on the location of the magic circle, they are now deep underground in the Royal Capital Church area.

This is the core area where the faith power of the entire royal city converges. Countless underground pipes and ancient earth veins intertwine, forming a natural energy gathering point that can be called a faith hub.

The three large-scale magic arrays that Jemin had previously revised and optimized were centered here, radiating outwards from the entire capital.

The further they went, the more obvious the energy fluctuations became. When they got close to the core of the magic circle, the humid air even contained a power of faith that the wizards could clearly feel.

"This concentration is truly astounding. This place must be the area with the densest faith power in the entire plane, apart from the realm of gods," Kelen said, adjusting his glasses and looking at the information displayed on them.

Soon, they reached the end of the sewer network.

Calculations showed that their ultimate goal was 20 meters ahead—the core that all three magic arrays were pointing towards.

“No choice, let’s dig.” Jemin shrugged and stepped forward to begin digging using alchemy.

“Alright, let’s keep digging. You set up the final node of the magic circle.” Keller patted Jemin on the shoulder and pulled him to the back.

Jemin wasn't too stubborn and nodded silently, beginning to set up the runes under Serafina's protection.

Soon, the group arrived at the core area after setting up and digging their way through the area.

“The magic circle is in place, and the energy guidance is exactly as expected.” Rex stepped forward, lightly touching the rune hub in the center of the altar with his fingertips, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. “Jeming, your optimization of the runes is truly amazing. It has greatly improved the compatibility and conduction efficiency of energy.”

Jemin chuckled softly, without saying anything more.

"Let's begin." Serafina's voice was soft, yet it carried a hidden excitement.

She looked at Jemin, her eyes gleaming with the fanaticism unique to wizards: "Thanks to you, we can go crazy too."

Without further ado, the five of them each went to one of the five positions on the core rune array.

"Activate!" With a low shout from Jemin, the light from his fingertips entered the altar, and the runes of the three core magic arrays burst forth with dazzling light, flowing across the ground and walls like living things!
The entire underground space was illuminated by light, emitting a deep hum, and the continuous flow of faith power changed its direction, converging towards the core magic array.

The next moment, the five wizards simultaneously stretched out their hands and injected the pollution mediums they had prepared into the center of the magic circle!
Jemin took a deep breath, immersing his consciousness into his inner space. Looking at the abundant worldly energy within him, he couldn't help but smile.

This was the medium he had prepared to corrupt the gods, and it was also the source of Jemin's confidence that he could influence them.

While worldly energy is easy to obtain, it is by no means a low-end item.

If one's will is not strong enough, or if one is suddenly subjected to a sufficiently large amount of force, even an immortal will lose their way.

Of course, he couldn't have done that with the amount of worldly energy he had collected in such a short time.

However, given the unique nature of mortal energy, it can be said that this thing is inherently effective against beings who believe in gods.

Taking a deep breath, Jieming carefully used the incantation to draw upon the vast and complex mortal energy within his body.

It was a complex mix of emotions—fear, anger, greed, and piety—generated by millions of people in the fervor of war. This aura, like an invisible torrent, was guided by him and surged toward the core of the magic array.

The originally formless and intangible worldly energy, upon contact with the faith power gathered at the core of the magic array, immediately merged into the holy light emanating from the magic array like black ink, causing its light to become turbid and distorted.

Serafina waved gracefully, her fingertips scattering a cloud of "illusory dust" invisible to the naked eye.

This is an extremely sophisticated level six sorcery artifact. After being injected into the magic circle, it silently merges into every energy fluctuation of the power of faith, invisibly amplifying the selfishness, fear, and distortion within the faith.

Keller slammed his hand on the ground, and a wild and primal aura surged from his body.

That was the deepest savagery and chaos of the orcs that he had collected through the "Chaotic Blood Pact".

This force, like a raging flood, violently surged into the faith network through the magic array, causing the originally orderly faith pathways to become restless and unbalanced in energy flow.

Anya gently placed her hands on the nodes of the magic circle, her eyes flashing with an eerie green light.

The immense life force within her was reversed and activated, transforming into countless "seeds of decay".

Driven by her power, these seeds of decay spread rapidly, like the most insidious vines, parasitizing the life-giving foundation of faith, slowly and stubbornly absorbing its vitality, causing it to wither from within.

Rex then activated a miniature alchemical device in his hand, which emitted a cold mechanical whirring sound, from which countless tiny runic points of light spewed forth.

These points of light are precisely injected into the magic circle. They are "logical paradox runes" carefully crafted by Rex, which can directly embed contradictory instructions and algorithms into the faith network, causing internal conflicts in the originally self-consistent faith system, and causing its power to begin to consume itself and disintegrate.

The five different methods of contamination, under the coordinated action of the three magic arrays, flowed like five torrents into the sea, instantly merging with the vast faith network of the capital.

Rumble!
The entire underground space trembled violently! The light on the altar was no longer pure and holy, but multicolored, yet with a nauseating grayness.

They twisted and rolled, as if enduring immense pain.

Immediately afterwards, the mutation spread from underground to the surface!
Fine cracks began to appear on the ground in the church area, and an energy fluctuation with a murky light, like an invisible shock wave, suddenly erupted from the ground!

In an instant, the entire area where the church is located burst into a huge light!
The light was no longer holy; instead, it carried a hint of eeriness and chaos, as if a huge canvas had been splashed with various paints, becoming dirty and dazzling.

The light shot into the sky, illuminating the night sky and even briefly outshining the magical streetlights of the capital.

Within the capital, some vigilant guards and priests immediately noticed this sudden and unusual phenomenon.

The piercing alarm shattered the night sky, and countless figures began to converge on the church district.

"It's done!" Rex's voice trembled slightly, but was filled with excitement.

"The Divine Power Faith Network is a wonderful thing; it's extremely efficient at transmitting energy. We're so grateful for it, otherwise, it would be wishful thinking for us to pollute the entire plane just by relying on the faith hubs of human kingdoms," Kelen couldn't help but exclaim.

He was the only one of the five, besides Jemin, who had studied the divine power belief network.

Although the research period was not long enough, it was still possible to gain a general understanding of the characteristics of the divine power belief network.

Jemin didn't say anything, and while the others were still reminiscing, he silently ran out.

The commotion they caused was sure to alarm all the high-ranking officials and powerful figures in the royal city.

This is the church area of ​​the royal city. Once the enemy forcibly sends down an angel-level being, they will have no chance to escape.

Without the slightest hesitation, the five of them, like streaks of black lightning, swiftly followed the pre-planned escape route and disappeared into the outer layer of the sewer.

Their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness, while the jagged lights shooting into the sky above the church area continued to flicker in the night sky, like a huge, distorted signal light, indicating that the "contamination" of the place of faith was complete.

However, the effects of the pollution are not yet obvious, and for some time the gods will not realize the truth that the foundation of their faith has been shaken.

Their power remained outwardly strong for a short period of time.

Jemin knew very well that only when the wizards tore through the dimensional barrier again and engaged in a fierce battle with the gods of the Erosian plane would the gods subconsciously draw upon the power of faith to replenish themselves after expending a great deal of energy.

At that time, the corrupted and mixed power of faith will have an instantaneous effect, like poison!

The gods' judgment will be severely impaired, and there may even be a backlash of power.

At that very moment, the dimensional barrier had been torn apart, allowing the high-ranking wizards of the Norn Workshop outside to immediately perceive this "opportunity" and take immediate follow-up actions.

So Jemin and his men retreated quite decisively, and now all they need to do is wait quietly.
