Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

In other words, God becomes a connector-like existence between humans and the source, and because the attribute values ​​of this connector itself are different, the magic that can be cast after the connection is also different.

God has his own consciousness and will not agree to the requests of mortals at will. Magicians who want to obtain and use God's power must naturally remain loyal to this God, or have faith in him.

Just like Medea, while learning magic from Hecate, she was also Hecate's priestess. She learned so many techniques, most of which were magic, but she could also rely on Hecate's power to perform powerful magic.

But all this seems to be unnecessary for Morpheus.

He can rely on his own strength to display all kinds of power that originally belonged to God!

However, the gods do not require mortals to believe in God, so what surprised them most, or shocked them the most, about Morpheus's theory was that he directly used divine power without God's consent.

Morpheus complained silently in his heart about this.

"What's the big deal? In the future, there will be powerful people who will snatch Gabriel's power right in front of him and then start to counter Gabriel. Speaking of which, if I could return to the world of Magical Index, I wonder what year it would be. The plot shouldn't soar to the third world war all at once..."

Morpheus also knew what these gods were worried about, so he comforted them:

"Don't worry. The magic theory I use is completely different from the magic theory you know. They are two different systems. I don't need to come into contact with the source. In fact, the magic I use is more like a fake created by the source based on legends."

"A fake?"

"I have an original individual, and then I rely on this original individual to create a false individual, imitating the original individual in various aspects, or in other words, imitating the individual that is circulated in the ears of the public.

"Let's take a simple example, like a heroic spirit. Now, there's a real hero who later became a heroic spirit. Let's say it's Hercules!"

Hercules was listening to Morpheus' words when he suddenly saw him talking about himself. He was stunned: "Why are you talking about me?"

"It's just an analogy!" Morpheus said, and then continued:

"At this point, this Heroic Spirit is the sublimation of Hercules himself. However, if there were a famous novel with a character named Hercules in it, and it was based on him, but with many inexplicable settings added, then we could use this as a basis to let the Origin create a Heroic Spirit like this.

"This is what I meant by fake things."

Having said that, the gods finally understood the meaning of what Morpheus said. In this way, it was not about avoiding the consent of God and using the power of God, but using the sung legends to construct a fake god-like creature, and then using the other party's power.

But even so, this magic is indeed terrifying. After all, it is not a fictional mortal hero, but a fictional god!

But what they didn't know was that Morpheus didn't tell them everything. His explanation could explain part of it, but not all of it.

The Star Sword he constructed looked like an imitation, and actually it was an imitation, but in reality, it was the Star Sword technique he created that absorbed the power of the original body!

As long as the copy is similar enough, a large amount of power can be absorbed, even reaching several percent of the original power!

Chapter 21: Gifts from the Greek Gods

"Morpheus, you have demonstrated tremendous strength and achieved great results in this battle between the gods and the giants. In recognition of your dedication, in the name of Zeus, the King of Gods, I grant you a body that transcends mortals!"

Zeus originally wanted to give the other party abilities such as "power derived from the king of gods" and "the power to control thunder and lightning", but when he thought that Morpheus' own magic could do these things, giving it away seemed to be of little use and would also make him look stingy.

So in the end, he used his own power to give Morpheus such a gift.

Transcending the mortal body, this comes from the omnipotent power of Zeus as the king of gods. Although it is power, it is actually in a semi-crippled state. Unless he absorbs all the Greek gods, he can truly reach the level of an omnipotent god.

But even so, he can still improve a mortal's body and thus enhance all his abilities to a certain extent.

Along with Zeus's declaration, these words were transformed into the most basic magic under the power of the root, modifying or evolving Morpheus's body.

His originally thin body now had obvious muscle lines, and his spirit was also strengthened at this moment, allowing him to withstand greater impact.

The most important thing is that his vitality was also strengthened at this moment, as if he originally had only 100 health bars, but suddenly it became 200 health bars.

This improvement in vitality is something Morpheus values ​​very much. He refines his own vitality into magic power, and then uses the magic power to cast magic. For him, the stronger his own vitality is, the more magic power he can convert in an instant!

Of course, it was not only Zeus who sent gifts. The other gods were not stingy either and each of them sent their own gifts.

Hera, the Queen of the Gods who holds the power over reproduction and other things, said, "In the name of Hera, I grant you a spirit far superior to that of mortals!"

This was an ability equal to the gift from Zeus, one physical and one spiritual, which improved Morpheus in two aspects. With this improvement, Morpheus felt that his mental state had improved a lot. It was like he would get tired if he didn't rest for eight hours before, but now he might not get tired even if he didn't rest for more than ten hours.

Poseidon: "In the name of Poseidon, the god of the sea, I grant you the ability to walk on water and breathe freely in water!"

Although Morpheus can rely on water elemental magic to achieve the corresponding effect, he expressed satisfaction based on the fact that the ability given by the other party is a passive one.

Athena: "In the name of the goddess of wisdom, I grant you composure and calmness!"

Calmness and composure are very important qualities, and are also the strength a person needs to move forward. This purely conceptual quality can be assigned to a person as a buff. Sometimes, Morpheus feels that God's power is indeed a magical thing.

At least in the field of magic, he has not yet found any relatively harmless way to give people traits such as "calmness" and "compassion", unless he directly acts on the target's mind and relies on hypnosis to achieve this goal.

Afterwards, Hades, the god of the underworld, gave Morpheus resistance to death. It was just resistance, not a rejection of death, but it prevented him from being targeted by fatal attacks.

Demeter, the goddess of earth and harvest, gave Morpheus the ability to regenerate on earth.

Hestia gave Morpheus a small clay pot filled with milk, and no matter how much he drank, the milk would always be full and always stay fresh.

It has to be said that the gift given by the goddess of the hearth is Morpheus' favorite.

Apollo, the sun god, gave Morpheus a bow that was golden all over and emitted a faint light.

Ares, the god of war, gave Morpheus a sword. The sword was a one-handed sword. It was not very long, but one could feel the power contained in it.

The god of fire, Hephaestus, gave Morpheus the ability to increase his endurance, making his stamina even stronger.

The goddess of love Aphrodite gave Morpheus an increase in charm, but Morpheus thought he was already very handsome, and this increase did not seem to be of much use.

Moreover, this improvement should be a kind of charm improvement, similar to making people feel that the other person is handsome from a spiritual level, so there is no need to even change the appearance.

Finally, there is Artemis, goddess of the moon.

Artemis looked at Morpheus with a smile and asked, "What do you want?"

Morpheus also smiled: "I can say anything."

"Of course not." Artemis shook her head. "I'm not omnipotent. The most I can do is give you myself. That's the limit."

Hearing this, Medea immediately raised her head and looked at Artemis vigilantly.

"I'm not a human trafficker, so forget it." Morpheus shook his head and smiled. "Just give it as you see fit. Of course, you don't have to give it either. We're so familiar with each other anyway."

Artemis shook her head and said, "I have to give it to you. After all, I am a god, so I have to give it to you."

Then, she raised her hands, gently touched Morpheus' eyes, and whispered, "In the name of Artemis, the moon goddess, I grant you eyes that see through everything and the ability to hit the target with every shot!"

That came from Artemis's skill in using bows and arrows, the power of the hunting goddess, and also from Artemis's ability as a sniper-type interstellar battleship when her physical body was still there. At this moment, the ultra-long visual range and extremely accurate shooting ability were given to Morpheus.

At this moment, the blessings of the twelve gods appeared on Morpheus' body at the same time. At this moment, he felt that his connection with something was getting closer and closer. That was the cause of everything, the effect of everything, and the root of this small world.

That’s right, this is the root, the existence that many magicians in the future want to explore!

Even if it was just for a moment, Morpheus felt the other party's presence. Unfortunately, that brief contact made it difficult for him to analyze the specific nature of this existence.

He can only analyze it based on his own changes.

"Just now, it felt like my data was being recorded. This couldn't be an illusion. So, the so-called root itself also has a similar use to a recording tape? I seem to have seen this term somewhere... Is it the Akashic Record?

"If I remember correctly, in my previous life, I saw that a magus who truly touched the source would lose himself and eventually become a 'living corpse' without desires or motivation. So why haven't I experienced this change? Is it because this is a gift from God, so I avoid this side effect?

"Wait, I should ask other people who have been blessed by God if they have had this special experience..."

But who should I ask? Should I ask those who participated in the Argonaut adventure? That would take some time!

Morpheus thought about it and politely thanked the gods for the gifts they gave him.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Apollo walking towards him and smiling at him. This man with golden curly hair looked very charming when he smiled.

"Want to chat with me for a while?"

Apollo said this to Morpheus.

Chapter 22: Existence Not Recorded by the World

Apollo, the sun god, in Morpheus's cognition, the real Apollo was originally the god of light, followed by the god of music, etc., but he did not have the position of the sun god.

However, as the original legends about the sun god became less and less common, and Apollo's status became higher and higher, he finally took on the position of the sun god.

After all, for people, the sun is a familiar god of light, and it is the sun that brings light, so it seems natural to put it in the position of the sun god.

But this doesn't work in the context of Type-Moon's worldview.

Apollo is the sun god, which originated from his function as a starship, and was also directly recognized by humans after he came to Earth.

At least, it was directly recognized by humans in the Greek region.

According to the Greek mythology that Morpheus was familiar with, it should have been the first god king Uranus and Gaia who gave birth to the second god king Kronos, as well as Kronos' brothers and sisters, namely Kronos and Hyperion, etc.

Later, Cronus and his wife Rhea gave birth to Zeus, and Hyperion and his wife gave birth to Helios.

Zeus became the king of gods, and Helios became the sun god.

But there is obviously no Uranus or Helios here. Starting from the starship corresponding to the original creator god Chaos, the fleet that was born was Kronos.

Later, Kronos had a fight with its subsequent warships, the Zeus series, and it ended with Zeus overturning the Kronos series warships.

Because of this, Apollo has been the sun god here from the very beginning.

However, just like in mythology, even Type-Moon's Apollo has the power of prophecy. At this moment, Apollo was looking at Morpheus with a smile, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Looking at the apology, Morpheus felt that something might have gone wrong in this battle between giants, and this problem was most likely related to him.

"Thank you for everything you have given to this world." First, Apollo thanked Morpheus again.

Morpheus shook his head. "You've already thanked me, Mr. Apollo. Besides, I have my own goals."

Apollo sighed: "I know your purpose, but your purpose cannot be achieved..."

Hearing this, Morpheus was stunned: "What does this mean?"

"Have you noticed anything strange? With the power of the God King, his gift should be able to make your body extremely powerful. Even if it's not as strong as Hercules, it will far surpass your original self.

"If I must use an analogy, the physical enhancement you've received, or the direct blessings you've received, should be able to increase in effect by at least two or three times, possibly even five or six times!"

Morpheus frowned slightly. "Why is that? I haven't experienced anything like this when I've used magic myself... I'm not talking about using my own magic, but when I follow the magician's magic to strengthen myself, the effect hasn't weakened."

Morpheus is very talented and has a strong adaptability to magic. He is also proficient in Celtic-related techniques. Otherwise, his adoptive father would not nag him every day and insist that he learn magic.

"Your body is incredibly special. The gods' blessing is actually a connection to the root. If we use data and machinery as an analogy, then this data is embedded into the basic settings, allowing all the enhancements your body and other aspects receive to be recorded within the root, thereby achieving permanent stability.

"However, you are like a very special existence, unable to be fully counted in the root. The you recorded in the root is like a false existence, an existence that cannot be identified. In other words, the you in the root is only half of you, perhaps even less than half. It is only a quarter of you that is recorded."

After hearing this somewhat convoluted explanation, Morpheus instantly understood: "I was rejected by the Root?!"

"You can understand it this way. You have indeed been rejected by your roots. You are like a foreign object, out of place in this world. And because of this, the history you participated in will be difficult to reveal and understand in the future!"

Morpheus curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Morpheus simply expressed his protest without taking any further action, Apollo smiled.

"But you can rest assured that you won't be fully recorded. However, the girl you brought with you will be recorded. She has indeed gained merit, and this merit will naturally turn into her own strength in the future."

"That's good. I don't really care whether I can be recorded or not. As long as she can get some benefits, that's fine."

Apollo gently raised his hand and said, "I will grant her the ability to record everything and never forget it. I believe this ability will help her in the future."

Morpheus hadn't expected Apollo to be such a kind person. Not only did he explain the root of his conflict with him, but he even turned around and gave Medea a blessing. Isn't this the ability of complete memory? This ability is simply amazing!

"Were all these known through the power of prophecy?"

"The power of prophecy, coupled with my own close connection to the Source, naturally allows me to know all of this. Both are indispensable."

Apollo said as he moved slightly closer to Morpheus and whispered, "Even though I possess the power of prophecy, I cannot predict everything. In fact, it is because of your arrival that I have seen some things."

"Because of my arrival?"

"Yes, about my sister. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't be able to see that future. My sister would have been abducted by a mortal guy!" When Apollo said this, he seemed to be gritting his teeth, which made his originally handsome face a little distorted.

It is obvious that this god, like the one in the legend, did not like Orion, who kidnapped his sister.

In the original myth, Apollo had Artemis shoot Orion to death in order to prevent his sister from being abducted.

If Apollo had predicted that this would happen to his sister, he would have been able to stop it from the very beginning, so it is obvious that Apollo did not predict this.

And now that he actually saw these contents, it was obvious that it was indeed related to Morpheus's arrival.

When the destiny related to oneself is deviated, some things can be seen instead.

Because those futures no longer matter.

"Wait, it seems that Artemis and I have a good relationship. Would she want to kill me?!" Morpheus' heart tightened, but he saw Apollo gently patting his shoulder: "My sister is a good person, but she is a little playful. Don't bully her."

"Ah?" Morpheus looked at Apollo with a pure face: "What are you talking about?"

Apollo chuckled and said nothing more, but turned and walked towards his sister.

Morpheus was anxious: "I haven't done anything yet! I just couldn't help but tease her a little bit! "
