The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing Chapter 156 - 151 Merlin’s First Torture

The vast stellar light cascaded down, enveloping everything in a faint starlight glow. The battlefield once strewn with corpses had been swept spotless by the starry sky.

An Su thought to himself.

What exactly is this old guardian emitting?

You still have to grind it out from birth!

At his current level, just glancing at it made it impossible for him to copy this demigod-level magic.

"If you copy this magic of mine and succeed, I’ll teach you magic," Discover more stories at empire

rlin’s reasoning for this was simple,, one was because he found it rather interesting, and the second was the thought of sending An Su away sooner.

It’s not that I won’t teach you, but that you lack the perceptiveness.

Most saints, faced with such a situation, would wisely know their limits and retreat, not wasting anyone’s ti.

This tactic of rlin’s worked every ti. All the saints who ca to learn, upon witnessing this sacred demigod magic, promptly left, including that genius Holy Maiden.

Unexpectedly, the young man before him said, "Let try."

"...Do you really want to try?"

rlin’s eyes flashed with intense Holy Light as An Su once again surprised him, "Are you serious?"

"I’ve co all this way."

An Su believed in a principle, since he’d co, he would always try.

Moreover, it’s free.

"This is the entire Magic Circuit of the ’Judgnt of Light.’"

The Holy Light Map appeared in rlin’s hands.

At first glance, An Su saw three major routes forming the structure of this magic, like bronze tree trunks, with each branch giving rise to nearly a thousand magic sub-branches

They combined perfectly and intricately, forming the entirety of the magic, each sub-branch made of even smaller Magic Circuits, continuously subdividing and extending, seemingly endless.

Each Magic Circuit carried a mysterious beauty, captivating the mind, stirring the soul, as if to imrse one in an ocean of vast stellar information.

Just by looking at it like this, An Su felt a brain-splitting pain.

This was sacred-level magic.

But what surprised An Su even more was that rlin presented the sacred-level magic circuit so openly before him.

The unique circuits of sacred-level magic were incredibly precious.

They were typically concealed with great care.

Unable to contain his curiosity, An Su voiced his question, while rlin replied nonchalantly,

"If it can be learned by others, then it’s just that—not precious. If it’s not precious, then there’s no need for to keep it. Besides, isn’t it good if soone else can learn it?"

"I’ll just create new ones that others can’t learn,"

rlin spoke evenly as if discussing a trivial matter, "So, having seen this, do you still have the courage to learn?"

"We have a deal,"

An Su shifted his gaze back to the map of the sacred magic, feeling a sting in his consciousness, as if his soul was being torn apart by the imrsion in the sea of information. rely a few seconds of observation made him feel dizzy and disoriented.

An Su looked away, gasping for air, sweat streaming down his cheeks.

Learning this thing could cost half a life, even if it doesn’t kill you.

"Let take a few more looks," said An Su.

What’s gotten into him?

rlin was surprised at An Su’s audacity. The boy dared to look again.

Shouldn’t he be leaving dejectedly, allowing to clock out satisfied?

An Su cast his eyes once more on the Magic Circuit, this ti managing to observe it for an extended period.

It was just as expected.

He had undergone countless life trials and possessed a spiritual fortitude far surpassing that of his peers.

rlin suddenly realized sothing bad, surely he couldn’t end up unable to finish for the day?

"Aren’t you afraid of dying?" rlin asked, "If the soul perishes, even a body’s revival can’t bring it back to life."

"If I die here, wouldn’t you have to pay compensation?"

An Su lifted his head and said earnestly,

"According to ’Nether Peacekeeping Law’ Chapter 3, Section 1, and ’Labor Law Case’ Section 3, if an employee dies at the workplace, then the person in charge of the place and the district security are liable for full compensation."

"Besides, I am still a minor."

I’m the one on duty at the Gates of Heaven, not district security!

But from a certain point of view, is it sohow like that?

The God of Order would probably acknowledge it too.

rlin felt he was about to be outmaneuvered by this youngster. This was Astro-World, after all—the eyes of the gods from above were all focusing here. He truly couldn’t let An Su’s soul die in Heaven.

He had said those words just to scare An Su off.

This guy obviously saw through that.

Now it was up to him to keep An Su alive, which was why this guy could be so brazen.

rlin squinted his eyes slightly; he wanted to get off work...

Why did this youngster have to be so stubborn?

All he wanted was to find an excuse to send the person away, and it was the first ti he had encountered soone as stubborn as An Su.

What was this youngster after?

He knew full well it was impossible to succeed.

An Su fixed his gaze on the Holy Light Map, the complex and vast information threatening to rip his soul apart.

Every ti he tried to make out the configurations of the circuits, his brain would emit excruciating pain—a protective chanism of the human body, which prevented his soul from getting lost in that sea of information.

He had failed dozens of tis but could never grasp the configurations of the circuits.

If not for rlin’s protection, An Su would have been gravely injured by now.

rlin brought over a small stool and sat beside him with a face full of despair, staring at this accursed youngster who seed to bring pestilence with him.

This guy was what? A top-tier masochist,

Torturing both himself and others.

It was rlin’s first ti encountering such a type of fresh soul. If he didn’t get off work soon, it would be ti to start working again!

So be it.

This youngster probably wouldn’t last much longer.

The pain in the soul was no less than actual death.

A few more deaths, and he would naturally lose patience and choose to give up—that’s what rlin thought.

This ti, An Su stared at the Magic Circuit for a full minute before finally moving his gaze away in pain.

Deep within his consciousness, he didn’t know how many tis he had died already.

But it didn’t matter; it wasn’t real death, after all.

To An Su, dying and coming back to life, living and dying again, it was all like a ga, and he was best at playing gas.

In gas, you die countless tis, and each death brings so harvest.

All magic shortcuts were discovered slowly through an eternal cycle of repetitive death.

An Su realized that it was impossible to see clearly the upper three thousand magic branches with his current rank; he couldn’t replicate the "Judgnt of Light" either.

If that was the case, then just copy one magic branch, just one three-thousandth of a Holy Light spell.

Copy it, and make it his own.

As dusk fell once again, twilight and starlight took their turns,

In rlin’s weary gaze, a new day had arrived.

It was ti for him to work again!

He wanted a vacation!
