Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

With a slight thought, the death energy in the surrounding environment gathered towards him like a docile pet, as clear as the lines on his palm, and he could control it as easily as using his own limbs.

At the same time, an incredibly warm resonance came from the ground beneath my feet.

The power of intention can even directly influence the shape of rocks—Super Earth Affinity!

With each breath, a thin layer of grayish-white mist, bearing the imprint of his soul, naturally emanated from his body. With a thought, he could instantly move within the area covered by the mist and perceive everything within it—this was the "Mist Movement" type of magical ability he gained after merging with Alan.

Immediately afterwards, Lynn sensed something and looked up at the sky.

My gaze first pierced through the slightly dim light.

The dust and mist formed by the dissipation of energy that would normally obstruct his vision were now clearly visible to him, and he could even "see" their slow movement.

Then, his gaze continued upwards, passing through the skylight in the laboratory roof and landing on the sky above the Bone Spire Academy.

The sky over the Eternal Graveyard is always that morbid dark purple, permeated with a thin, ever-present mist of negative energy that obscures the stars and devours the light.

This is the realm of death, the demiplane where the dead sleep eternally.

However, at this moment, in Lynn's eyes, the sky presented a completely different scene.

What he "saw" was not just a fog of negative energy.

He saw huge, blurry "marks" stretching across the sky.

The marks were so large that they were immeasurable, and they came in all shapes and sizes.

Some resemble twisted chains of bones stretching across the sky, some are like a giant net of souls covering the world, and some are like a swirling vortex of flesh and blood constantly churning and devouring everything...

They are not physical entities, but rather profound imprints left by an extremely powerful "rule" or "will" at the level of demiplane rules!

[Analysis] The ability was activated silently, conveying a vague understanding to him:

[A semi-dimensional regular layer imprint (stigmata level) was observed]

Quantity: 7 (main) + 12 (secondary)

[Speculated attribution: Successive tower masters/deputy tower masters/peak holy-stigma wizards of the Bone Spire]

[Status: Active but dormant, Guardian mode]

[Warning: In-depth analysis may attract the attention of the Stigmata's Will]

...

"This is... a Stigmata?!" Lynn was shocked.

Is this the power of the Stigmata Wizard?

Is this a reflection of their own power in reality?

Like a divine seal hanging in the sky, it silently maintains the existence and order of this demiplane.

Previously, he was completely unaware of this, but now, after leaping to a higher level of existence, he can "see" another aspect of the world's reality.

His gaze did not linger there for long.

A certain stirring originating from the depths of his bloodline drew his senses upward...

His "gaze" seemed to pierce through the tough dimensional barrier of the Eternal Graveyard demiplane.

In an instant, the scene changed again!

The dark purple deathly sky seemed to fade away layer by layer in his consciousness.

He "saw"... an endless starry sky.

It is not the starry sky of the material world that is attached to the eternal graveyard, but the more distant, more vast, and more essential—the sea of ​​stars in the multiverse beyond the endless planes!

Countless points of light, some bright, some dim, some near, some far, some cold and lonely, some burning hot, some radiating indescribable fluctuations of regularity.

They float silently in the endless dark void, forming the most primitive and magnificent backdrop of the universe.

Lynn felt that a faint yet incredibly clear "connection" had been established between herself and them.

Although he didn't know what the purpose of this connection was, Lynn could sense that these stars were slowly releasing some energy, which was being absorbed by his dark golden heart.

After being absorbed by the heart, it expelled wisps of pure energy that merged into Lynn's mental sea, slowly condensing into "stars" that filled the mental vortex.

The entire Deep Sea transformed into an endless starry sky, appearing exceptionally vast with each star dotting the landscape.

The mental vortex that had expanded to its limit during his apprenticeship, making him feel suffocated, now seemed... unusually "empty" thanks to the support of his transformed soul after its sublimation!

It's like a small pond suddenly being expanded into a vast ocean. Although there's already a lot of water (spiritual energy), the lake's capacity (whirlpool potential) has become even greater!

He could clearly feel that as each "star" spontaneously condensed, his mental vortex was frantically absorbing the surrounding energy.

It expands and solidifies at a visible speed every moment, and its internal structure becomes more complex, precise and perfect!

This rate of growth was hundreds of times faster than any of his previous meditation stages! It was shockingly stable!

This is the truly perfect mental vortex!

Gregor sensed that Lynn was rapidly absorbing the surrounding energy and quickly monitored this change.

When the results came out, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he muttered, "This...this vortex's scale and growth potential..."

"These stars..."

"Damn it! You're no longer some kind of wizard apprentice; you're practically skipping the initial stages and aiming straight for a senior, fully-fledged wizard, or even higher!"

He strode up to Lynn, a soft, probing light emanating from his withered palm, and began to examine Lynn inch by inch, starting from his head.

"Relax, don't resist."

Gregor's voice restored the researchers' calm and focus.

Lynn relaxed her body as instructed, allowing the subtle, spiritual light emanating from her mentor to sweep across her skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs...

Even deeper energy pathways and soul structures.

Lynn trusted her mentor enough.

Of course, one cannot resist it.

Gregor examined the area extremely carefully, even using several detection artifacts to assist in the investigation.

As the examination progressed, his eyes gradually filled with increasing amazement and disbelief.

"Bone density...energy permeability...cellular activity...the integration of soul and body..."

As he examined the object, he muttered to himself, his voice growing softer and softer until it became almost an unconscious soliloquy.

"Perfect...no, it's perfection that far surpasses theoretical limits..."

"Here... how can the power of stars and the energy of death coexist so harmoniously? And even enhance the conversion efficiency of the earth's ley lines?"

"This starlight membrane surrounding the soul core... is it a self-formed, rule-based protective layer? Even my probing aura can only penetrate the surface?"

"The resilience and explosive power reserves of the muscle fibers...is this really a human body?"

The more he examined the area, the more serious Gregor's expression became, and the astonishment in his eyes gradually turned into deep fear and worry.
