Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 274 [274] Unity of Spirit and Body, Spiritual Achievement and Sublimation

The piercing alarm blared as the corridor flashed crimson light, plunging the entire Black Dragon Research Institute into chaos.

All the mechanical gates in the various areas were closed under access control, and the armed personnel who sensed something was wrong rushed towards the area where the alarm had been triggered, fully armed.

However, they were blocked by a heavy mechanical door, which was not a problem they could solve. The door connected the load-bearing wall and the entire building.

If they were to be forcibly demolished, the building they were in would collapse.

The district chiefs were also quite helpless. Standing in front of the mechanical gate, they kept using the equipment to contact the Black Dragon's main control center, trying to unlock the instructions through their permissions.

Every attempt failed, and the only response was a cold, "Access is locked. Only with the highest level of privileges can you unlock the gates and lift the martial law."

"Damn it, what's going on? The superhumans in the detention center have rioted. Are those inspectors just sitting around doing nothing? With superhuman shackles, how did those criminals escape from the detention center?"

Frustrated voices rang out, and the district heads and officials could only watch helplessly as a small mechanical door effectively blocked a large portion of the research institute's defenses.

"Dr. Black Dragon has the highest authority. The key is that the entire base is under martial law. There are only two ways to seal the gate: either go to the central control room or use remote commands with the highest authority."

Dr. Black Dragon has not given any instructions and has been staying in the research area for many days, conducting in-depth research on super-powered genes.

The restricted area is right next to the research area.

For a moment, many district heads and officials had their eyes darting around, pondering the inside story, and people's hearts were unsettled.

The boots slammed against the metal floor of the corridor, making a low thud, as Zang Yuan's figure swiftly passed by.

Following behind was Moshiro, whose body radiated light. It was a special kind of light energy that could be generated by consuming physical strength. It could produce a certain temperature and shape a materialized light object, which could then be controlled.

Light energy applied to the skin's surface can also enhance the physical body, granting superhuman strength and speed.

Shirou stared at the tall figure in the trench coat ahead, recalling Captain Zangyuan's words: "Shirou, your psychic power has immense potential and is directly related to your will. If your will is strong enough, you might even unleash a level four psychic power."

"We cannot afford to fail in this operation. Success will bring a bright future to the new humanity; failure will mean the death of you, me, and the entire Burial Squad at the Black Dragon Research Institute. We absolutely cannot fail."

"We absolutely cannot fail!!"

Mo Shilang's eyes were incredibly firm, as if burning with an invisible flame. The light energy surrounding his body became even stronger and more solid, even showing a tendency to develop into a materialized light armor.

At the end of the corridor was a corner, from which came the sound of many fast-moving footsteps. The shadows cast by the light were those of tall patrolmen carrying weapons.

Zang Yuan's eyes were filled with killing intent. Flames ignited in his hands, gathering into a huge fireball. He then clenched his hands together, compressed the fireball, and flung it out.

boom!

A violent clanging sound rang out, accompanied by expanding light and heat, and scattering of broken metal fragments—signaling the start of an internal struggle within the Black Dragon Research Institute.

Moshiro took a deep breath, his entire body almost transforming into a burly armored figure enveloped in light energy, with sharp light blades covering his joints, and charged into the still-lingering smoke and dust.

"Commander, look! The signal has been activated next to the black pillar of light."

Among the members of the Revolutionary Army in the inner perimeter, some sharp-eyed superhumans pointed to a faint point of light next to a black pillar of light in the distance. It quickly went out, but it was indeed there.

The black beam of light appears to absorb light, and if you're not paying attention, you might easily miss the light signal.

"This godforsaken place is disgusting. It's all gray and white, and you can't see anything clearly. These troublesome white light waves are making a mess." A burly man, at least 2.2 meters tall, with bulging muscles, was shirtless and wrapped in a lot of iron chains. He was also carrying a huge iron hammer on his back.

His name is Johnny. He is a prominent figure in the Revolutionary Army, with his own reputation and immense strength. He is known as the "Absolute Physical Destroyer".

Because of its enormous size, it inevitably came into contact with thorny trees when passing through green vegetation areas, getting covered in dust and dirt.

A sense of unease inexplicably arose in Li Shunsheng's heart. He turned to ask the several psychic superhumans, "Have you made contact with the psychic superhumans of the Burial Squad? What's the situation inside the Black Dragon Research Institute?"

"Commander, we've maintained contact, but it's very weak and intermittent. We're puzzled; it's as if some external force is affecting it."

"The member of the burial team named Bai Xue is in the research institute's main control room, working with the inside agent to adjust the main control settings and close the doors to other areas, leaving only the restricted area and the research area unobstructed."

It must be due to the environment. The white light waves are too strange, and no amount of firepower or external attacks can affect the internal environment.

However, now is not the time to dwell on this strange environment.

"This is the best opportunity. Quickly enter the core area, use the remaining passages to storm the research institute, take control of the situation, and then rescue the people." Li Shunsheng's words were very brief, but he clearly arranged what each person needed to do.

"We don't have much time left. We have at most half an hour to evacuate from the research institute through this safe passage we created."

Li Shunsheng stared at the black energy pillar that stretched straight to the thick, dark clouds in the sky, suppressing his unease and hoping it was just his imagination.

With so many members of the Revolutionary Army acting together, plus the large number of superhumans within the research institute, this force would make even major powers think twice before taking action.

The Blood Slaughter Army Lord is renowned throughout the world, having fought against a Level 5 Calamity without a single victory or defeat.

Even if a true level 5 natural disaster were to strike, they might not necessarily lose.

The only thing they fear is the technological power of major powers.

The most advanced technological weapons can destroy a city in an instant, and even wipe out all of humanity in the world with a series of attacks.

Tick ​​tock!

The air was thick with the stench of decay, making one want to vomit, yet black liquid dripped from the cascading test tube; it was very viscous, like some kind of adhesive.

In reality, it is alive and has its own operation. The black, viscous liquid is composed of a large number of Harak bacteriophages, which can bring people extraordinary power and the opportunity for physical transformation with new possibilities.

Everything comes at a price.

The price is quite simple: a strong willpower, the ability to endure the extreme sensations and loss of consciousness brought about by cell evolution and modification, and the collapse of will will cause the target itself to lose itself. If the god is lost, it also means that the spirit that supports the body is also lost.

The chances of gaining superhuman power from Harak phage will be greatly reduced, and in the end, one will only become one of the thousands of phage infected manipulated by Harak.

Of course, the most crucial point for maintaining one's individuality lies in Wang Ya's permission.

Inside the cultivation chamber, the black cocoon had undergone a dramatic transformation. The originally uneven surface of the flesh now displayed strange, multicolored patterns, which appeared to be some kind of ancient wizarding script, imbued with extraordinary power.

The eerie wizarding script was still twisting and turning, and various colors existed in the dream world, exhibiting some polluting characteristics. Ordinary people who were in this laboratory would be affected, their spirits would be eroded, and they would become walking corpses.

As a legacy book created by Wang Ya, the Book of Harak would influence ordinary people if they saw it, causing them to become obsessed and frantically pursue its extraordinary knowledge.

Knowledge and special writing contain power.

The inability to withstand such power is not a blessing, but a curse.

As the black liquid dripped into the culture chamber, the originally seven-colored eerie runes were gradually stained by the black—no, it should be said that they were suppressed, constantly shrinking back into the black cocoon and forming circular incantation symbols.

The incantation is surrounded by a circle of black stripes, as if encircling the other colored stripes inside.

[Target: The Heart of Harak]

Compression level: 80%

Integration and coordination level: 67%

[Details: A special substance created by the Nightmare Wizard, serving as a medium to carry the power of the rules, integrates a large number of super-powered genes, thereby replacing the original function of the native race as a tool and storing the power of the rules within it.]

What is being suppressed is the power of rules; those special stripes of seven colors are the manifestation of the power of rules.

The addition of the bacteriophage conditioning agent was intended to enhance the power of the Blood Lord's rule within Harak's heart, thereby suppressing other rule forces.

The fusion is reversible; it's not a true fusion, but rather a container similar to storage.

The power of rules is something that only a level three archmage would consider researching; it's still too far removed from Wang Ya's level.

Even if we were to actually conduct research, it would require an enormous amount of time to analyze the Eye of Truth, which is not consistent with Wang Ya's current needs.

The World Experimentation Field is about to be swallowed up by the Wizarding World, and the fruit trees are about to be uprooted. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Wang Ya decisively took all the ripe or unripe fruits with him.

Once the pressing reaches 100%, the integration and coordination will also reach 100%.

Harak's heart can also find the fruit tree through the connection of the power of the rules.

Wang Ya rubbed his fingers, a smile playing on his lips. It was such a waste to uproot the fruit; his collection was exactly lacking such a precious item.

Instead, we should transplant it into his bubble vault and fully realize its value.

The colorful patterns gradually formed eye-like designs on the surface of the black cocoon's grooves. The tiny gaps seemed to open. Wang Ya's face showed a hint of surprise. This change was unexpected. The suppression process was not simple or easy. The instinctive resistance of these rule forces alone was enough for him to spend a lot of effort to deal with.

Fortunately, the Blood Lord's rules serve as a medium, possessing a stronger status and capable of suppressing most level one to four rule powers. The external manifestation of level five rule power is the green eye at the very top of the black cocoon, from which a liquid with a green sheen flows, which is quite peculiar.

It also occupies the largest part of the cocoon's surface, with no other eyes present in the surrounding area.

"Interestingly, when there are too many rule forces and they compete with each other, the strongest rule force will suppress them, and they will spontaneously show an upward and downward arrangement based on the strength of the rule forces."

Perhaps this carrying tool will bring him unexpected surprises.

[Note: Suppression is expected to be completed within 24 hours. If new regulatory forces are added midway, the proportion of Harak phage formulation agent needs to be recalculated to enhance the regulatory suppression power of the Harak heart.]

Wang Ya suppressed the burning passion in his heart and maintained his composure.

Stepping out of this top-level laboratory and pushing open the door, there were no experimental targets on the central experimental bed in the outer experimental room.

Wang Ya completed the necessary preparations for the experiment, including extracting super-powered genes and fusing the power of rules into Harak's heart. As for the girl named Mo Tongying, it must be said that she had excellent luck and willpower, which even surprised Wang Ya at one point.

The potential of any life should not be ignored; change may only be a matter of a trigger.

She may be the only native human in this deep blue secret world who has seized a truly extraordinary opportunity and stepped into the realm of the extraordinary.

Dr. Black Dragon's office, which is now his office, is where he sits in a soft leather swivel chair, his long, slender, white fingers gently tapping the table.

Books were laid out, and a pen holder held various expensive pens. Dr. Black Dragon's notebooks were scattered in the corner of the room. In the corner, a golden arowana was kept. Harak gripped the edge with its claws, flapping its wings for balance, trying to bite the arowana's spine with its beak. The arowana, frightened, rolled and thrashed in the water, creating a cloud of muddy bubbles. In its black eyes, there was a playful, teasing expression.

Wang Ya raised his hand and gently traced a line in the air in front of him.

A white light rippled through the void, and a screen of light appeared, revealing the actions and words of different people in different areas, which echoed throughout the office.

Among these efforts were the various actions of the Burial Squad members, such as sending signals, sealing off major areas, opening the doors of many solitary confinement cells in the detention zone, and releasing superhuman criminals who had not been experimentally dissected by Wang Ya. The number of superhumans gathered was considerable, and they were fighting against the patrolling armed personnel.

The corridors and passageways were filled with signs of battle, and the light bulbs and wiring were damaged. In the flickering light, the corpses on the ground, the flowing blood, and the ferocious expressions were extremely horrifying and terrifying.

The screen then shifted again, showing the Revolutionary Army passing through the core area and entering the base. A young figure wearing a red hat, with the help of a psychic, quickly headed to the area where the battle was most intense and where the Burial Squad was at a disadvantage.

Red Dragon Prince led ten Red Dragon soldiers and had just entered the core area. In another ten minutes, they would be able to enter the research institute and make contact with the members of the Super Revolutionary Army and the Burial Squad.

Wang Ya interlaced his fingers, rested his elbows on the table, and gently touched the back of his hands with his chin, a slight ripple appearing in his calm gaze.

He became somewhat interested in what would happen if these people actually met.

The Black Dragon Research Institute is like a pot of mixed stew, but there's only one person cooking it.

Wang Ya's lips curled into a smile. Of the three experiments, the first two can be considered complete, with results expected within 24 hours, making failure virtually impossible.

The third experiment is now also possible to complete.

Everything is proceeding according to his plan.

The Dream Wizard's abilities give him too many advantages in this Deep Blue Secret Realm world, so much so that he doesn't even need to use Harak's powerful strength, which is comparable to that of a formal wizard.

"The emotional and psychological testing experiment seems quite interesting." Wang Ya gently shook his finger, and a picture of an experimental room appeared on the screen in front of him.

The huge nutrient tank in the center is very conspicuous. It is filled with a large amount of nutrient solution, but now only half of it remains, and the remaining nutrient solution is decreasing at a visible rate.

Fair skin, slender body, black hair clinging to her neck and shoulders; eerie black runes appearing on her skin from her heart, spreading towards her arms, thighs, abdomen, back, and head.

Chi Chi!

Her body began to undergo astonishing changes, a benign mutation that allowed her to acquire a more perfect biological system, with improvements in skeletal and muscular structure, and even the replacement of internal organs. Her aura grew stronger and stronger, even causing the nutrient tank to vibrate, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its walls.

This is truly extraordinary!!

"Let me see how much the power of the mind can enhance the extraordinary."

This relates to some speculations about the sublimated state, and it was also a conjecture that emerged during the initial research on the Dog of Gendass.

I once discussed this with an ancient Sai shaman and learned about the concept of the unity of body and soul.

The fusion of illusion and reality, the unity of spirit and body, makes one a formal wizard.

The sublimation of achieving perfect balance also rests on this.

It is also of great help in advancing one's wizarding path.

P.S.: Next chapter, before midnight. I'm going to write 10,000 words today. Watch me put in the effort, I said I'd make it 10,000 words a day, and it will be 10,000.
