Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 102 [102] Harak's Infinite Evolution Sorcery Improvement, Flame Demon Doppelganger (6000)

Wang Ya had briefly analyzed the sorcery called the Eye of Dreams using the Eye of Truth during a break in his training.

It's not very difficult; it's a basic form of witchcraft. But it's quite special, somewhat similar to the "invisible stripping" witchcraft, as it's cast using only mental energy.

The special features don't stop there. The effects of witchcraft itself are not harmful; it simply provides an additional perspective for observing the world.

He tried to learn it, but the pace of mastery was too fast, so fast that it felt unreal to him. After careful consideration, he decided not to continue.

The wizard Kolan's question gave him a suitable reason.

Wang Ya followed up by saying, "We haven't fully grasped it yet."

A look of surprise flashed across the wizard's eyes. In her opinion, this little guy should have mastered it very quickly.

Of course, she would not deny her previous judgment. Teacher Huanmeng said that Wang Yahalak had extremely high inspiration, which was due to other reasons that made him not choose to master the Eye of Dreams.

"It seems you have quite a few questions in your mind!"

"Yes, Wizard Kolan, what I want to know is the specific information about the Dream Garden Secret Realm, and the relationship between the Dream Eye Wizardry and it."

Wang Ya didn't say more than that, which was the attitude and support he received. It was so good that he was certain that Wang Ya would win the top three in the secret realm competition and that there would be no surprises.

This is support without a signed wizard contract, but there must be a return for them to choose to do it.

Wang Ya's doubts lay here: Wasn't the wizard Kelan afraid of his failure?

"The Dream Realm is not among the secret realm resources belonging to the Dark Lands headquarters, but its value may be higher than any other secret realm. It contains infinite possibilities, but also contains uncertain dangers."

The wizard Kelan spoke casually, as if explaining to Wang Ya as if they were friends.

"Opportunities and dangers coexist, as you should understand, and the Eye of Dreams is the eye that discerns these dangers. It is a bizarre and fantastical world, and without a special pair of eyes, one cannot see clearly."

"Moreover, not everyone can enter the Dream Realm and master the Eye of Dreams; that requires some special potential."

The wizard Kolan's words were pointed, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Ya's fair face, as if trying to see something.

Wang Ya frowned. Did he mean that Wang Ya possessed this potential?

Wizard Kolan stood up, chuckled, and said, "Go ahead and master the Eye of Dreams; it will bring unexpected rewards. Even formal wizards want to explore the Dream Garden Secret Realm."

Back at the wizard's residence, Wang Ya was still pondering some of the things the other party had revealed.

I have a feeling that there are some things he doesn't know about this.

I decided to stop thinking about it and went to the mission management agency the next day to get these advanced wizard instruments from Wizard Coran.

A total of 1,400 Dark Points were consumed, which corresponds to 14,000 Magic Stones.

This is a terrifying number, and an astronomical sum for the wizards of the House of Commons.

Inside the laboratory.

As energy was injected, the Wizard Technology - Particle Bearing Instrument started up, emitting fluctuations of particle energy, from weak to strong.

Finally, all the control lights on the instrument lit up.

To delve into a more microscopic level, we need to understand the structure of filamentous granulation cells. When they infiltrate the flesh of other organisms, do they directly engulf those cells, or do they deceive the immune system and the cells' self-destructive capabilities, disguising themselves as their own kind to absorb and influence other organisms?

Once this is understood, the extraordinary properties existing within the cells can be extracted and, through sufficient cultivation and implantation, introduced into Harak's flesh and blood to complete a new round of transformation.

Wang Ya had a premonition that this time he had found the right direction and was able to grasp the extraordinary characteristics of the Hound of Gendass.

What he wants is no longer the balance between illusion and reality, but only its characteristic of infinite proliferation and endless consumption.

If it really succeeds, what will happen to Harak? Wang Ya's eyes shone brightly; he was truly looking forward to it.

,.

Time flies, and another three months have passed.

There are only eleven months left until the competition in the secret realm.

During this period, Wang Ya also completed the analysis of the sixth wizard rune of the Vast Ocean Meditation Method, successfully bringing mental power and particle energy units to another level.

He had a clear feeling that the quality of particle energy was gradually improving, as if the potential of the Vast Ocean Meditation Method was being fully realized.

[Target: Wang Ya]

[Mental Strength: 16 (Level 1 Wizard Apprentice)]

[Physical Fitness: 12.1]

Particle Energy: 13.3 units

[Wizard Meditation Method: Basic (Nine Medals), Advanced (Six Medals)]

Wang Ya did not use any extraordinary potions; the changes were entirely due to the influence of his understanding of wizard meditation techniques.

This is a good sign. With six wizard runes remaining and numerous extraordinary potions, advancing to the second-level wizard apprentice level in eleven months is not particularly difficult.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's practically a done deal.

The witchcraft testing ground.

The figure, clad in a black wizard's robe, emanated powerful particle energy, causing the surrounding air to blur and distort as if an invisible medium had appeared.

This is actually Wang Ya's shaping of particle energy through the assistance of his extraordinary mental strength and absolute control.

It didn't have much effect, but it demonstrated Wang Ya's current level of particle energy intensity. Among first-level wizard apprentices, he was an outstanding individual, showing no signs of frivolity or instability.

Conversely, the released magical power can always maintain a constant level.

Regarding the witchcraft improvement plan, Wang Ya considered carrying it out within the last five months, which should be able to complete. By then, the target of the Eye of Truth's analysis would be relatively free, which could be used to assist his witchcraft improvement plan.

At present, Wang Ya has completely mastered the two sorcery spells, Flame Demon's Fear and Flame Demon's Roar. Whether it is the release, the stability of the form, or the constantness of the intensity, it is all very standard.

Buzz!

As the particle energy around him converged, a crimson glint gradually appeared, which was the intermediate part of sorcery involved in the fire element particle energy shield.

The familiar transparent flames began to spread from the palms of his hands, as if they were the source, igniting the invisible shield of particle energy on his body and forming an energy flame that enveloped his entire body.

Too dazzling, too glaring, the Flame Demon Fear Spell itself is a hybrid spell formed by the fusion of three low-level spells.

The third low-level witchcraft he mastered—Crimson Heat—created a continuous stimulation within Wang Ya's body, keeping every inch of his flesh and blood cells in a highly active state, capable of bearing the crimson flames on his body. At the same time, the internal and external particle energies resonated, forming a special amplitude.

The skin on his body was almost invisible, replaced by a crimson flame filled with extreme heat, which visually distorted the air.

From a distance, Wang Ya looked like a demon god in crimson flames, radiating extremely terrifying high temperatures. Any enemy who got close to him would be melted into charcoal and fragments.

Other forms of witchcraft will also fail to penetrate his area of ​​effect and attack his physical body; they will be burned away by the energy flames on his body.

The Crimson Heat spell compensates for a lack of movement speed, granting a burst of incredible speed for attacking enemies.

Even spells like Wind God's Companionship and Meteor Strike, used for escaping, are no match for Wang Ya's speed under the [Flame Demon's Fear] spell.

Every gesture he made was accompanied by billowing flames of energy, the intensity and power increasing with distance from Wang Ya. If directly touched, the intensity could reach a terrifying 28 degrees.

This is equivalent to Wang Ya being in an unbeatable state of high movement speed, high attack, and high defense, making him a nightmare for any enemy who encounters him.

However, it's not without its drawbacks. Sustain is a major issue, and the preparation for its execution is somewhat troublesome, as it cannot be released instantly and has a three-second interval.

They would be extremely vulnerable to enemy surprise attacks.

When using other methods, one should also be careful not to be affected by the energy flames on one's own body.

This is the fear of the Balrog, the Balrog that walks among humans, bringing destruction.

However, the word "destruction" is more appropriate when applied to the second intermediate spell, Fire Demon Roar.

Based on the [Flame Demon's Fear] spell, the [Flame Demon's Roar] spell continuously accelerates and increases the frequency of the special amplitude of particle energy inside and outside the body, making the energy flame more restrained and concentrated into a single point before bursting out.

This created a fire elemental energy burst spell similar to the breath of a red dragon, with an extremely terrifying power that surpassed the medium-level spell scroll of the red dragon's breath used by Wang Ya.

"The highest degree of injury measured by the doll in this test is 30 degrees. Shall we begin the test?"

The sounds of machinery filled the testing range.

In the distance, a gap appeared in the ground, and a familiar memory metal test dummy slowly rose up.

Wang Ya was enveloped in crimson flames, making it impossible to discern his expression or facial features; only his clear, cold voice could be heard.

"start!"

The next moment, a sharp shriek accompanied the high-frequency amplitude of the particle energy within Wang Ya's body. The crimson flames and light on his body gradually converged towards a point on his chest, revealing the black wizard's robe he was wearing on the rest of his body.

This is also one of the weaknesses of the [Fire Demon Roar] spell. It will break free from the state of being covered by energy flames, and even the state of the [Fire Demon Fear] spell will require re-condensation.

The light emanating from his chest was so bright that it was impossible to see with the eyes; even with eyes closed, it was blinding.

The extremely high temperature and the conflict of particle energy, along with the heaviness brought about by the extremely high activity, were incredibly difficult for Wang Ya to control, and his body was trembling slightly.

boom!

In that instant, it was as if the rising sun pierced through the dark clouds, or as if a fiery demon on earth roared deafeningly at the sky.

An endless beam of light and heat formed a concentrated energy waveguide that engulfed the memory metal doll, turning everything in its path into charred remains.

The air whistled, and the resulting heat wave made Wang Ya's hair fly wildly.

His eyes were filled with unprecedented emotion. The moment he made contact, the metal doll was melted into molten iron. The remaining lower body tried to recover, but it was extremely slow.

After everything calmed down, a scorched black patch of ground appeared in the field, stretching fifty meters in length and about five meters in width.

Wang Ya exhaled a hot breath, his skin slightly flushed, indicating that at least half of the particle energy in his body had been consumed.

This is the power of [Fire Demon Roar], absolutely one of the most terrifying among intermediate-level sorcery.

It's hard to imagine what a higher level of "Hephaestus' Wrath" would be like.

"This test is now complete. The unnamed Fire Element Particle Energy Spell achieved a power level of '32'. Casting time: 3 seconds."

Wang Ya could not hide his joy; this already fell into the category of high-level witchcraft.

However, weaknesses still exist. After all, there is no such thing as absolutely invincible witchcraft in the world, and there are always ways to counter it.

It's still a matter of casting time; it takes three seconds to gather particle energy and generate a more powerful impact.

Secondly, it will cause the user to lose their energy shield and other defenses, and even their movement will be somewhat restricted.

It's essentially sacrificing the defense and speed of [Flame Demon's Fear] in exchange for maximum burst damage.

The plan to improve witchcraft aims to address the weaknesses in mastering witchcraft, thereby making it more perfect.

Wang Ya now has the confidence to carry out this type of research project.

Even without the Eye of Truth, he had already mastered the advanced extraordinary subjects several days ago.

With one's own knowledge and understanding, one can also improve witchcraft, but it will take longer and the cost of trial and error will be higher.

He took out his notebook from his pocket, and the quill pen slipped from his sleeve as he began to write.

[Objective: The Witchcraft Reform Project]

[Estimated timeframe: After March]

[Plan Content: To revise and improve the existing witchcraft, enhancing its casting time, power, and effects to make it more adaptable to any environment and region, while also addressing some of the weaknesses and flaws of the original witchcraft.]

Closing the notebook, Wang Ya headed straight for the castle. The next thing to complete was the troublesome experiment involving Gendaz flesh and blood.

Fortunately, after switching to new, advanced wizarding instruments, he successfully found the right method.

At the microscopic level, the cells of Gendas flesh were found to be extremely special. They were not individual cells, but rather a combination of virus and cell.

Inside the petri dish, some blood-red water droplets seemed to sense something when Wang Ya placed a piece of fresh flesh in it. They became active and covered the flesh.

In the blink of an eye, the volume of the meat rapidly shrank, and in turn, the number of blood-red droplets increased until a thin layer formed in the petri dish.

Wang Ya, dressed in a white protective suit, had an expectant look in her eyes. This was the basic substance extracted from the flesh and blood of Gendass.

It further lost its ability to take shape, that is, it lost the influence of the mind, and instead began to proliferate without limit from instinct.

Wang Ya discovered a pattern, suggesting that the formation of Gentas granulation tissue is a result of psychological influence, not its true instinct.

Viruses don't aspire to form bodies; they simply absorb nutrients and replicate themselves without limit. Cells are just cells, and the extraordinary cancer cells in the presuppositions are also a different kind of virus.

The fully formed Dog of Gendass has achieved a balance between illusion and reality, guided by the methods of an evil god.

The balance that Wang Ya pursued was merely a recurrence of the result of the influence of the evil god Gendass.

Regardless of whether it can be achieved, when that time comes, will the products created still belong to him?

Or will it be influenced and controlled by the evil god Gendass, ultimately becoming an out-of-control product?

This is not impossible. Many things that are out of control are created by wizards who lack the strength and knowledge to conduct wizarding experiments.

Ultimately, this led to serious consequences, with even the wizard himself being killed by the very thing he created.

Wang Ya is researching the products of an evil god, which is much more dangerous. For safety reasons, he has been sealing the heart of the evil god.

If the final product of the research is not under his control, and even if his mental imprint on Harak is erased, then he would rather such a product never appear.

If this is a failed product, Wang Ya will destroy it immediately.

The interplay between illusion and reality, the mental experiment at the illusory level—this is a hidden pitfall that Wang Ya only fully understood in the last month or two.

Real-world experiments involving flesh and blood are feasible and represent the correct path that Wang Ya has found.

Excluding all external influences related to mental will, and focusing solely on the most essential proliferative cell structure of the Gendace granulation tissue, the study aims to investigate why it can achieve unlimited proliferation and engulfment.

Life exists on a macroscopic scale, and life also exists on a microscopic scale.

The essence of life is constant motion, even at the molecular and atomic levels.

After this investigation, Wang Ya actually found the reason.

In the petri dish next to it was a thin layer of grayish-black substance, which was cultured from the flesh and blood cells excavated from Harak.

The unlimited proliferation and engulfment of Gendas cells are due to the special nucleic acids, long gene chains, extremely stable morphology, and high activity within the cells.

Once it takes up residence in a living organism, it will frantically absorb nutrients and begin to replicate itself. Every time the host organism is injured and heals, the original flesh is replaced by Gendaz flesh.

Even without injury, this process continues.

Wang Ya had a terrifying suspicion: the ultimate fate of the host would likely be that its very existence would become that of a Gendass dog. Its mental self-awareness, and even its soul, would be confined within the flesh and blood of Gendass.

It was like being eaten alive by the dogs of Gendaz.

Everything encountered in the Mayan kingdom corresponds to the methods of the evil god Gendass, which are being carried out in a covert manner.

All believers are nourishment for the evil god Gendass.

Finally, this flesh and blood will merge with the main body, slowly digesting and enhancing the power of Gendass itself.

Wang Ya felt a chill run down his spine. If the previous experiment continued, he feared that it might directly deliver Harak to the mouth of the evil god Gendas, or even create such a huge mouth on its own.

It is uncertain whether the evil god Gendas can sense his presence through the bond of flesh and blood.

It's probably impossible to do that, otherwise those dozen or so Gentas dogs in the lab would have already run into serious problems.

The evil god's methods should not be underestimated. Wang Ya has already placed the laboratory under the highest level of protection and monitoring, and the central control of any unusual witchcraft array will notify him.

As for how to endow Harak Wangya with the characteristics of infinite devouring and infinite proliferation, it is by recombining special nucleic acids and long gene chains.

It also utilizes some theories from the previous life, such as the manipulation of the shell and the seed at the cellular level.

Gendas cells are a single entity, essentially super cancer cells.

The special nucleic acid, the long gene chain that exists inside the cell, is a virus, which Wang Ya named "Gendars Phage".

These are also present in the flesh cells of Harak.

The process involved isolating Gendas phage and Halak phage, then culturing them by providing them with nutrients, and finally combining the two to recombine a new extraordinary phage, forming an "infinite genome" named by Wang Ya.

This is a seed, and it also needs an environment that can grow a shell, that is, it can only mature after being nurtured by cells.

The infinite replication of Gendas bacteriophages is due to their incredibly strong shells, which allow them to break through the shells existing within any biological cell, thereby parasitizing and absorbing cellular nutrients.

Wang Ya's plan was naturally to cultivate it using Halak's flesh and blood cells.

This also allows an infinite genome to be inserted into Harak's genome, naturally replacing and altering the cellular structure without generating too much rejection.

It can even be used to insert into the genes of humans, or even other species.

The implantation of extraordinary bloodlines did not reach such a microscopic level. Wang Ya even thought about the bloodline's restrictive nature, which hindered the progress of bloodline wizards, and whether this method could solve the problem.

He rubbed his slightly sore temples. Conducting these experiments was already his limit, and it was even the result of using his past life's ideas and the Eye of Truth.

Whether the wizards in the Wizarding World have explored in this direction is unknown, but it is likely that they have not, or rather, they are unable to do so.

Without the analysis, interpretation, and insight of the eye of truth, Wang Yaguang could not have done it on his own; the experimental variables involved were too numerous and too complex.

In comparison, it is understandable that some wizards choose to use the survival of the fittest and natural evolution to arrive at the result, although the process is somewhat cruel.

[Objective: The Infinite Genome 'Halak Evolution Experiment']

[Duration: 6 hours]

[Objective: To obtain a mature, unlimited genome by splicing, arranging, and recombining the gene chains of Gendar's bacteriophage and Harak's bacteriophage, and then implant it into the Harak's body, granting it the ability to proliferate and engulf without limit, thereby breaking the shackles of bloodline and gaining unlimited potential.]

[Experiment success rate: 62%]

While Wang Ya's eyes gleamed with a subtle blue light, there was also a sense of determination. The experiment didn't need to be 100% successful; 62% was enough.

This is the limit of what he can do.

Harak's fate will be decided in this experiment.
