Wizard's Journey

Chapter 302 The Power of Annihilation

one year later.

After several months of rest and recovery, Green went to the Tomb of Words Wizarding Academy to complete the task of making the thirty-six basic bases for the "Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder" entrusted to him a hundred years ago. After the bases passed the review, they were retrieved.

Upon returning to the Demon Hunter Castle, Green couldn't wait to assemble the numerous experimental equipment parts.

The Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation and Recording Device was completed after three days of careful assembly and testing by Green.

This is the largest and most sophisticated experimental instrument Green has ever designed, and it is now in sight.

The presence of so many devices and instruments of this kind within the Demon Hunter Castle immediately lends it an air of mystery, giving it the feel of a corner of an ancient ruins laboratory.

The instrument is 15 meters high.

There are eighteen bases on the top and bottom, each five meters long. The middle five meters are made of crystal glass and filled with translucent high-density energy blocks.

Such experimental equipment is an essential auxiliary device that Green, as a formal wizard, must possess. It is one of the fundamental conditions that distinguishes wizards from wizard apprentices, in addition to their level of life.

At the very least, it would be impossible for a wizard apprentice with such a low level of life wisdom to design such a large and sophisticated instrument on their own.

Such a workload, which could take hundreds of years to complete, was simply an unimaginable fantasy in the narrow-minded wisdom of wizarding apprentices.

With their simple and inferior intelligence, they couldn't even begin to understand the significance of completing such an experimental instrument.

Because for wizard apprentices, their vision is far too limited, so limited that they can only plan for things a few years or a decade from now, and many of them simply go with the flow.

Even if a very small number of wizarding apprentices possess foresight and devise long-term plans spanning hundreds of years, they would never bother to design such truly high-end auxiliary experimental instruments.

Green circled his masterpiece a few times.

Like an artist admiring his own creation, Green wore a delighted smile, while the myna bird, standing atop the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation and Recording Device, couldn't wait to chuckle cheekily, "Hehehe, young master, why don't we test this big thing now and see how it goes?"

After taking a deep breath, Green said solemnly, "Although this instrument is called the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation and Recorder,' and its internal structure has formed a perfect cycle of 18 instantaneous annihilation energies per second, achieving a perfect splicing of annihilation power, in reality, this instrument can only support an experiment for three seconds each time."

the reason is simple.

Although the instrument itself can generate annihilation energy that will be activated forever, the nature of annihilation energy itself determines that there is no substance or energy in the wizarding knowledge system that can bear its annihilation properties.

Simply put, once the high-density energy gel used for observation and experimental recording in the crystal container is completely destroyed by the annihilation force generated by the instrument, if the instrument continues to be activated, the annihilation force will destroy the instrument itself.

The high-density energy gel in the crystal vessel dissipated within three seconds, according to Green's accurate calculations.

"Hehe, at worst we can research gel blocks for more advanced experimental observations later."

The myna bird, however, is quite optimistic.

Green shook his head, chuckled softly, and said, "A more advanced experimental glue block?"

If the experiments on the power of annihilation were really that easy to develop, why bother researching the glue blocks? Why not just research the carriers of annihilation energy directly?

Regarding the nature of annihilation energy, in fact, countless ancient wizards had already studied it quite thoroughly in ancient times, and had even reached a certain limit of understanding.

The inferior ones are merely carriers that can perfectly utilize annihilation energy.

Without a vessel for annihilation energy, once a wizard unleashes annihilation energy, he himself will be the first to be consumed by it.

Or, if the energy of annihilation is stimulated externally, it is a low-level witchcraft technique that utilizes the power of annihilation, such as exploding flames or exploding steam.

Now, with the Eternal Annihilation Energy Experiment Observation Recorder, Green is confident that he can elevate his understanding of Annihilation Energy to the limit of the ancient wizards' understanding of Annihilation Energy before this Demon Hunting Expedition.

In the time that followed, Green's experimental plan was to find a carrier for annihilating energy.

This requires Green to conduct annihilation reaction experiments on a series of energies and materials, hoping to unexpectedly obtain some surprises someday in the future.

This was also akin to a lottery-like process of developing new witchcraft before the ancient wizards had any foundational theoretical foundation...

In other words, after Green observed the properties of annihilation energy, the next step in his research on annihilation energy was to throw piece after piece of material into the eternal annihilation energy property recorder to observe the reaction properties.

Just thinking about it makes me imagine a dull and boring life.

Moreover, this kind of "lottery" experiment has no definite date or progress, and no guaranteed reward; one can only try one's best.

Of course, in some respects, if Green could make a few more of these instruments for experiments, theoretically the process would be faster and the chances of success would be greater, thus Green's demand for witch spirit would also increase without limit.

Half an hourglass time later.

As Green fully activated the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder, a deafening buzzing sound of energy collision startled the myna bird, which flew onto Green's shoulder and stared intently at the instrument, afraid of missing anything.

The ground began to shake with a rumbling sound, and to Grimm's astonishment, the lights inside the Demon Hunter Castle began to distort in irregular shapes as they were sucked into the crystal vessel.

An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from the crystal vessel.

Once every eighteenth of a second, the instrument underwent fifty-four high-intensity, repulsive energy collisions in a short period of time, and a ball of pitch-black flame appeared.

This incredibly dark, terrifying, oppressive, and all-consuming flame burned for only three seconds before all the high-density energy gel blocks inside the instrument were completely destroyed.

With a "poof", the black flames dissipated.

"This...this is the power of annihilation?" Green muttered to himself in terror, as if he had lost his soul.

hum...

The ground tremors stopped, and the distorted light inside the Demon Hunter Castle returned to normal, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Green's heart was pounding wildly!

If this terrifying energy could be fully controlled, who knows how many times the balancing lever rules it would disrupt.

It is likely that no living being below the level of the Lord of the World would be able to resist such terrifying energy; it is a higher-level, qualitatively transformative energy.

This is absolutely terrifying and insane.

Green couldn't help but start to doubt himself. Was he, like his mentor in the Metal Man, falling into some kind of irrational madness with such high-level research?

Clearly, even from the perspective of a world ruler, the power of annihilation should be an incredibly powerful energy, yet a lowly being dares to attempt to master an ability that only a world ruler would dare to peek into...

This is absolutely insane and outlandish.

At the very least, according to the general research standards of elemental wizards, they must first refine and sublimate their own elemental energy, and then conduct research on energy qualitative change at a certain limit.

Instead of doing what Green did, who skipped all the energy extraction steps and went straight to researching high-level qualitative changes in energy, attempting to leverage the rule lever twice in succession.

"Be rational! Be rational! You must be rational!"

Green covered his head and ran to the library, plopped down in a chair, and swallowed a glass of cold water.

On one hand, immense power tempted Green like a devil; if he obtained it, Green would possess unimaginable strength and soar to great heights.

On the other hand, the wizard's rationality kept dissuading him.

In the world of the bottle mouth, the living example of the metal miniature mentor is right in front of Grimm, and the consequences of the wizard gradually descending into madness are disastrous.

Reason and madness are separated by only a single thought.

Gradually, Green seemed to return to the time a hundred years ago when he was undergoing a spiritual cleansing in the Seventh Ring Prison.

Green recalled his time as a wizarding apprentice in Blacksota. During his first two years at the academy, everyone else was happily studying elemental magic through wizarding books, thus mastering unparalleled power.

But I felt like a fool, spending my days studying the principles and composition of scents in the art of nose hunting...

Two years have passed.

While his fellow wizard apprentices grew stronger, he became a pitiful creature, filled with fear of the Bloody Mill Trial for Newcomers a year later.

But then, a miracle occurred.

Having studied the profound and mysterious principles of scent magic for a long time, he first accidentally invented the Venus perfume, the goddess of love. With the large amount of magic stones he earned, he bought the exquisite magic artifact, the Pale Mask, and even went so far as to ask a wizard to teach him knowledge privately.

In this way, he not only passed the newcomer trial safely, but also attracted the appreciation of his mentor Peranos during the interrogation without any major incident, and became his disciple and student.

After the bloody millstone incident, also due to his research on nose-hunting witchcraft, Green mysteriously discovered his own unique knowledge of the life code, thus pioneering the invention of his own original witchcraft.

Grimm's Three Secret Great Sorcery, Grimm's Sacred Body Great Transformation Technique.

He then used this as a foundation to continuously accumulate and develop until he swept all the wizard apprentices of the same generation of seven-ring Holy Tower in the Holy Tower qualification battle, and no one could compete with him.

The loneliness of the arena...

But who could have imagined that all of this started with a mediocre wizard apprentice who, while everyone else chose to gain power easily, foolishly chose to spend time and effort studying witchcraft knowledge that seemed to offer no reward?

As he recalled these memories, the confusion and hesitation in Green's eyes gradually faded, replaced by unwavering determination!

Without extraordinary courage, foresightful wisdom, and a madness that drives others to despair, one cannot sweep away all the talented geniuses in the future with a lonely and triumphant laugh; one can only fade into obscurity among the masses.

Grimm vaguely recalled his feelings when he first arrived at the Seventh Ring Tower, his willingness to endure centuries of obscurity rather than live a mediocre life.

"Yes! That's it!"

Beneath the truth-seeking face of Grimm's disheveled golden hair, and in his wise, profound, and serene eyes, a hint of madness burned—a pride belonging to Grimm himself, a pride born from the legendary experiences of his time as a wizard's apprentice.

When faced with their unwavering pride, every wizard's passion will inevitably triumph over reason, driving them to madness.

"Gah!"

Amidst the screech of a bored myna bird, Green slammed his hand on the table and excitedly returned to the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder, beginning another round of annihilation energy experiments.
