Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 828 Catherine the Witch's New Mission

Locke continued to delve deeper into this world, and thirteen shadows appeared in his mind, these thirteen shadows seemed to be thirteen giants.

They divided the access to that world.

God of Fire, God of Water, God of Wind, God of Light...

Locke frowned. He could sense that the power of the planes had been exploited by these beings. The world power corresponding to each concept within the crater had been taken by the giants, resulting in each of them possessing the strength of a second-ring level being.

Locke was speechless.

It's not that I'm speechless because they have second-ring level strength; that doesn't matter.

Anything strange can happen in the endless void, let alone something that only possesses second-ring level magic pressure.

Ultimately, the total amount of magical pressure is worthless, since no one's magical pressure can exceed that of the world itself.

What's valuable are the levels of civilization and the power system.

The key issue is that the world was made very strange by these giants.

That race of giants was like a series of giant holes dug out of the world itself.

At this moment, the world principle of that three-hole world seemed to Locke like a cheese with many large holes.

First, how can such a world be sustained?
Second, how did a group of native giants seize the power of the plane? And how did they seize it so thoroughly?
Is this outrageous? Is this insane?
The whole world seems to be used by them to satisfy their own private desires.

At this moment, Locke even had a crazy idea in his mind.

'Is it possible that that world could have originally been a medium-sized world, but because of these parasites, it ended up only being a medium-sized world? It's not impossible.'

'Given the strength of this world, it's clearly only one step away from becoming a medium-to-large-scale world. In fact, many worlds can evolve on their own, perfecting that final step.'

"The giants claim to be gods and require mortals to serve them."

Locke fell into thought. "There seems to be a huge secret hidden here. Those giants have each completely seized a dimension of power from that world."

"But it wasn't just the power of the thirteen planes that was taken away."

Locke conjured up an ideal model of the plane's laws in his mind. If the plane's laws should originally be a smooth sphere, then the model of the plane's laws in that world was full of pits and holes.

A certain force, like a maggot, constantly plundered the power of that world, digging countless holes in its surface.

As for why that world was still able to function, Locke planned to go there in person to observe the situation.

'Could it be that those giants were truly false gods?'

'The false gods in each plane are all different. After all, many beings try to claim themselves as gods.'

Locke pondered, “However, the information I’ve come across suggests that the most common ‘false gods’ in planes of medium size and below are probably totems or animals that are worshipped by the local people.”

"And then there's the local primal spirit."

"Or they are powerful organisms born of nature, and there are very few true false gods."

What exactly is happening in that world?

At this moment, Locke was observing the dimensional information obtained from the Void Cube when, in the next instant, a white light crack suddenly opened on the Void Cube.

The entire Void Cube shattered completely.

"Ok?"

Locke realized that the power left in the Void Cube had suddenly become active and was rapidly burning the Light Dimension Principle of the three planes contained within it, exchanging it for energy, and then directly splitting the Void Cube in two.

Then, the arrow of light suddenly shot towards his pupil.

A dazzling arrow of light appeared from the Gates of Hell, 'Infinite Mountain,' just like a sun.

Many nearby wizards couldn't help but glance over.

The power of the Light Dimension from the Three Cavern Planes descended upon this place; this was an arrow shot by the God of Light, one of the thirteen gods on the crater of the Three Cavern World.

The great dimensional principles of the Three Caves World are condensed above.

Like the radiance of the three planes, it crashed directly towards Locke.

'Boom~'

The arrow struck Locke's left pupil, causing ripples to spread across the permanent defensive force field shell on his cornea.

The natural force field of the second ring protects Locke.

'Click~'

The arrow of light suddenly shattered, transforming into streams of photons that passed over Locke's face.

It was as if the brilliance of the entire world had struck me, but it only shattered into streams of light in front of my cornea.

After all, the Void Cube only has 10,000 magic pressure, while his own magic pressure is 16,000.

At the same time, wizards also have a permanent defensive force field shell, which is the true protective barrier of a wizard's body. Under the same magical pressure, a wizard's defense will be much stronger because of the permanent defensive force field shell.

Locke frowned. This was the arrow of the God of Light, one of the thirteen giants.

An arrow shot forth, crashing down like a torrent of light from the entire world.

"The strength is passable."

Locke took a step forward and saw that the arrow of light, which had already turned into streams of light, gathered again under the influence of the remaining light plane principle of the three worlds, transforming into a tidal arrow of light that once again rushed towards his left eye.

However, the arrow composed of the tide of light particles struck his left eye again, but still failed to break through his defenses.

'Boom~'

Locke swung his right hand, directly shattering the principle of the light plane of the three worlds with a hand chop.

Locke frowned.

"Vulnerable."

But it made him even more confused.

Judging from the opponent's attack pattern, they are basically using the dimensional principles of that world to launch attacks against themselves. It's as if each attack brings about a certain dimensional principle of the entire plane to crush the enemy.

For enemies who are not high enough in level or rank, this is simply a superb skill for crushing weaklings.

But for a second-ring archmage, this little bit of stuff is utterly laughable.

To me, this thing is simply an unmodified energy surge, without any magical manipulation or skill involved; it's just throwing something raw at someone.

Even if he only uses one-tenth of the energy, he can still use the spell model to deal spell damage several times stronger than the other spell.

The question is, how did such a being manage to seize the power of that plane?
That world is strange.

Locke was glad he had used the Void Cube to explore that plane first, although this level of attack was like a primitive man wielding a wooden spear and charging at the mecha.

But this also means that there may be some unknown risks in that world itself.

Moreover, he could not confirm the fighting strength of the giant who claimed to be the God of Light of the Three Holes World within the Crater Pantheon.

The fighting strength of that god-king could not be confirmed.

Furthermore, given the extent to which the planes of that world were corrupted, it's unlikely that the pantheon consisted only of the thirteen giants on the crater.

But there were indeed only thirteen giants on the crater. Either the information collected by the Void Cube was wrong, but that was unlikely, because I directly used the Void Cube to intercept the deepest plane's power and obtained the information directly from it, which was difficult to modify artificially.

In short, there are clearly some secrets in that world.

If I were to encounter this world in the wizarding world, or if there were a dimensional portal at this moment, I would naturally not be afraid.

The problem is that since I entered that world through void travel, the resources I can bring are limited.

Moreover, that world is unfamiliar to everyone, and who knows what might be there?

Locke pondered, “Those giant false gods do not seem to be primordial spirits or simply powerful beings. They can indeed manipulate certain aspects of the plane's laws in that world, and they call the act of manipulating the corresponding plane's laws the exercise of divine power.”

"However, for me, it's just a simple and primitive way of using the principles of planes to directly clash with others."

To put it bluntly, for a wizard, this behavior is equivalent to not using spell models to attack others, but instead using their own magic to directly bombard the enemy.

Isn't this nonsense?

This is why Locke felt they were too primitive.

Locke pondered, "And strictly speaking, they are not power owners, but power thieves. The power belongs to the specific plane's laws, the power of that world itself, not them."

"If these creatures were to leave that plane, they would likely become mortals."

"This is really interesting. This phenomenon is definitely worth studying."

On Mount Infinity, although some wizards were surprised that Locke had encountered resistance from the natives, most of them withdrew their gaze.

Again.

The endless void is so vast that anything can happen.

Sometimes, in certain dimensions, you will encounter some unusual situations.

At this moment, Jon Quess, the wizard who had met Locke before, walked over.

"Hello, Wizard Locke. I never expected that the Void Cube you sent out would contain the power of those natives, and that those natives would even set traps and rebel against you."

"However, this is just the stubbornness of an ant."

Jon Quess smiled and said, “Sometimes, that’s just how it is. I think that’s the appeal of exploring the Void. We enter a world that seems to be inhabited only by primitive tribes, and who knows, some magical powers might suddenly appear within those tribes.”

"This is also where the danger of void exploration lies."

"Even a second-circle wizard could be overwhelmed if they encountered something like this in the isolated void. The fact that they have this ability to fight back means that the world itself is quite complex."

"The greatest danger is not the natives who can resist, but that world."

"Many second-ring wizards underestimated those worlds, which is why they failed miserably."

Jon Quess the Wizard said, "However, this also shows from another perspective that the target plane you have is of high economic value. Otherwise, this anomaly would not have occurred."

"How about it, do you need any help? I can work with you to develop that dimension. My application for the top-tier grant this year was rejected, and I also felt that the topic wasn't viable. I'm looking for a new topic."

"If you need help, you can ask me," said the wizard Jon Quess.

Locke nodded, knowing that this was different from the wizard Rahussein coming to help.

After all, Hussein was there to repay a favor.

If he were to team up with the wizard Jon Quess, it would mean developing this plane together with him, and he would have to relinquish some of his profits.

This is not good for me.

After all, although this plane is somewhat abnormal, it is still within my control. As long as I bring Hussein and that old pirate, along with Mason the Witch and others, I can assemble a sizable expedition team.

There's really no need to involve other wizards and unnecessarily share some of the profits.

Locke politely declined Jon Quess's offer, saying, "Unfortunately, I have already gathered enough wizards to form an expedition."

Jon Quite the wizard was quite disappointed.

"That's really unfortunate. I'd really like to work with the wizard Locke Augustine."

"Well then, Locke, good luck. Let's work together for next year's top-tier grant."

Locke nodded.

"Okay, let's work together."

The wizard Jon Quess turned and left.

At the same time, Locke took out a mirror from his astral ring and saw a peach blossom mark on his forehead.

At the same time, the original rings of his two wedding rings also disappeared automatically, obviously going to that world with his other half.

"The teacher's heart-shaped spell worked."

"The teacher's Heart Spell is triggered when I come into contact with another world. Before, in the Silent Dimension, because it didn't count as truly coming into contact with a world, the Heart Spell was never triggered."

"And the Heart Spell can allow my other half to be born in that world."

"I can sense that the giants in that world are growing increasingly fearful because there are too many mortals. They are preparing to launch a natural disaster that will wipe out most of the population. I wonder what will happen if my half-body is reincarnated in that world at this moment."

And you can test your wedding ring simply by using your half of your body.

However, the main function of the Heart Spell is to quickly give birth to one's half in a fixed and known plane; the wedding ring test task is just a side function.

At this moment, Locke discovered that Catherine the Witch's clone was actually making a voice call to him.

The voice of the witch Catherine emanated from the Ganoderma lucidum plant.

“Locke, I’ve noticed that your Heart Spell has been triggered.”

"You need to speed up the wedding ring testing process."

Locke quickly replied, "Yes, teacher."

Locke coughed, surprised that the witch Catherine would urge him to finish the testing as soon as possible.

The witch Catherine said, "Oh, right, I also have a long-term task for you. You need to keep an eye on a wizard named Douglas."

Locke raised an eyebrow.

"The dark wizard you captured?"

The witch Catherine said, "Hmm. There should be an ancient soul inside him. I've been so busy lately. Could you help me find out the identity of that soul?"

"The Twin Demon Realms must have reached some cooperation with these ancient souls."

Locke said, "Yes, teacher."

"I have sent you the information on the general breeding method at the second-level: the Spirit Breath Breeding Method."

The witch Catherine said, "Besides that, there's my unique breeding method, the Light Element Inversion Mutation Breeding Method. I don't know if you can learn it. The reason this breeding method is unique to me is because it requires a special soul talent. However, you can look at it and play around with it first."

"Alright, Locke, I'm giving you a new, serious task now. You need to get your Level 2 Breeder Certificate as soon as possible. Remember, you need to complete the task quickly, otherwise, if the tasks pile up, it will become very troublesome to finish them."

"That would increase the difficulty."

　I'll update one chapter tomorrow morning. The author is going to sleep now.
