Chapter 152: Can Humans Really Become Like Stars?

Chapter 152: Can Humans Really Become Like Stars?

Compared to Harof, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the Society of Mystical Arts, Ougust appeared somewhat skeptical in the realm of magical practices.

"If you think we're wrong, what do you believe is the real path to advancement?" Ougust countered with a cold tone. "Do you think we should become like the sun?"

Harof found himself momentarily speechless, as this was the very point that baffled him the most.

In the pursuit of ascending the ranks of official wizards and grand wizards, there were typically only three ways to gain more formidable power.

The first method involved controlling new elements, and the second was exploring the microcosmic realm of elements...

However, their dilemma lay in the fact that they couldn't find any new elements, and even if they did, it would be impossible to elevate their power to an entirely new level.

Furthermore, their exploration of the microcosmic realm of elements had come to a near standstill due to an accident over a decade ago.

According to the accounts of elemental wizards, they encountered what they referred to as "elemental ghosts."

This term was initially coined by the legendary wizard Altok, who developed the Great Dissolution Technique. However, after delving deep into the phenomenon of elemental ghosts, the most powerful elemental wizard went insane, leaving behind a research manuscript filled with incomprehensible ramblings.

Harof had reviewed some of the remaining pages of that manuscript, and the legendary wizard believed that the microcosmic elemental world was chaotic and disorderly, where all magical laws lost their effectiveness. The state of elements became extremely peculiar, moving at incredible speeds, rendering magic manipulation practically impossible.

Furthermore, Altok couldn't even confirm the existence or state of these elements. The manuscript ended with a chilling statement: "It's evading me, it knows I'm observing it... they are ghosts, elemental ghosts!"

Since then, the microcosmic realm had been inhabited by creatures known as elemental ghosts, capable of attacking souls, and rumors circulated that they could breach the mental defenses of even legendary wizards. Research on the microcosmic elements had to be halted.

The "Altok Elemental Precision" was praised as the limit for wizards!

She had noticed it earlier, but the encounter with Harof had taken priority, and she hadn't had a chance to address it.

"According to the agreed-upon objectives, adding high-energy reactions to each unit creates four nuclear reactors, which can effectively conserve computational power," the intelligent AI replied.

Lynn couldn't help but chuckle. It appeared that the AI had inserted these reactors into the projections of Einstein and others. She had intended to give them a touch of her own power, perhaps to mimic the substantial pressure that legendary wizards exuded.

However, it seemed that the AI had decided to add nuclear reactors to the projections, which was undoubtedly quite high-energy.

Lynn shook her head in resignation, hoping that no one had noticed anything unusual.

Turning her attention to a shivering dove on the ground, Lynn could see that the spirit projection of the legendary wizard had exuded a terrifying aura, especially during the supernova eruption, making her feel as if her spiritual body might disintegrate.

However, Lynn couldn't help but find it awkward to see a middle-aged lady crouching in fear, so she promptly asked her AI to cancel these projections.

"You did well this time, Dove. If you could be a bit braver and speak more confidently, it would be even better..." Lynn approached the girl and patted her on the head, offering words of comfort.

Dove looked up, silent, and simply gazed at Lynn with an expression of deep resentment. Lynn extended her hand, conjuring a thick book of stories that appeared in her palm. She swayed it in front of Dove's eyes.

"This is the first volume of 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' that I promised you. Take it." Lynn handed over the book without any teasing, fully aware that this book was Dove's source of joy in a world filled with nothing but stars.

The prince turning into a frog, the kind-hearted Snow White mistreated by her stepmother, and Cinderella attending the prince's ball but losing her glass slipperall these stories filled Dove's world with happiness in a dark universe where nothing existed but stars.

However, Lynn, being a bit mischievous, had deleted the second half of all these stories. The only way to access the second part was to agree to help her perform a play.
