In the Year of 829, the Month of Fire, in an alchemy lab in Babel.
On the walls, ceilings, and floor, there were magic patterns in different colors, shining, and together they ford a complicated magic circle that covered the entire lab, thus preventing any noise from sneaking in and reducing the blazing light.
The Robe of Grand Arcanists that Lucien was wearing still looked like a long, black suit, instead of the style of the ancient magic empire. Right now, the suit was slightly bulging to prevent the last remaining amount of harmful substances away from Lucien. While in the space, Lucien’s cognitive world was affecting reality and a starry sky where elent spots were floating, eating, and blending in anything tangible or intangible around.
Although Lucien had always been cautious about his experints, with this one, he was even more cautious. It was because of his failure to upgrade Moon Tir using the materials he got from Danisos. Moon Tir remained at the sa level. Lucien was also badly injured. It took him half a year to fully recover.
At this ti, Lucien was confident that neither he nor Moon Tir would get hurt or damaged, but he was not confident that he could improve Moon Tir to level four and make it his fourteenth top legendary item. What was more important was that since the materials he had were very limited, if he failed a second ti, he had to go to another dinsion to find another space-ti legendary item.
There was another option that Lucien could persuade. The “silver moon” could raise the ancient ti dragon in a pen and turned it into an endless source for providing legendary blood, flesh, and bones. But Lucien never considered it as it would take the dragon too long to recover from it.
According to what Lucien knew, so far, Danisos still had not recovered back to the top legendary level from the fight a year ago. It might take Danisos a few more years to recover from the fight, and Danisos probably had to spend another two to three hundred years to fully recover.
Therefore, Lucien was being extrely cautious about this experint to upgrade Moon Tir. He did not even allow Natasha to stay in, as her destructive power in this lab had been quite considerable.
On the alchemy operation desk, the drops of pure blood were drawing a strange magic circle driven by Lucien’s spiritual power.
At first glance, it looked very complicated. Even looking at it would make a sorcerer below the legendary level feel extrely dizzy, and the sorcerer would lose his or her spiritual power fast. However, for a sorcerer who had enough spiritual power, with careful observation, the special but simple pattern within could be identified.
It was just like those complicated words. When one understood the roots, rembering the words was no more complicated.
Lucien had sweat beads on his forehead. But in this fancy lab, the beads of sweat imdiately disappeared in the air.
After a long ti, Lucien finally finished drawing the last line. Instantly, the magic circle trembled slightly, together with the entire lab, as if there was sothing disturbing the space and ti.
After this cald down, Lucien processed the remaining wings and flesh and then put them on the tips of the magic circle.
After that, Moon Tir flew out of Lucien’s pocket and then fell in the middle of the magic circle, covered in water-like light.
Influenced by it, the lines of the magic circle started wriggling onto the tir as if they were alive. The lines then connected to the hands of the tir and the constellation symbols on it.
During the process, Lucien’s eyes did not even blink. Using all his spiritual power, he was still doing so minor adjustnt.
Lucien released a sigh of relief. The first two steps going well ant that he could be more confident about the result. The previous failure ca from a minor mistake that Lucien ignored, but in the end, it was amplified into a horrible result.
Staying focused, Lucien turned on the alchemy desk again. Imdiately, all the energy of the entire magic tower gushed into the magic circle in the middle and overwheld it with the silver light, from which so light “fog” rose up.
It was using so much energy that all the crystal lights had gone off and the defense of the tower had been switched off. Pinocchio, the tower guard, had to turn on the backup energy pool.
The backup energy pool only lasted less than a minute, and the tir still needed a bit more ti. At this ti, Lucien reached out his right hand and pressed it against the operation desk. Using his own body, he was pouring his own spiritual power in.
Suddenly, splendid light burst out and filled the entire lab.
Tick, tick...
All the clocks in the magic tower started running fast like they were in a race. In Atomic Universe, Natasha, who was practicing sword using the elent planets, also felt the extrely rapid elapse of ti as if ti were rushing to its end.
It worked? Natasha looked up at Babel tower. Since she beca a level two legendary knight, it was the first ti she felt such great changes in the environnt.
Then, with a gentle click, the passage of ti went back to normal. It just felt that ti had passed a long ti in the lab.
Lucien stared at the tir on the operational desk and believed that it now looked a bit different. Its light had beco more conservative, and a new button appeared beside the original one for Advanced Ti Stop.
Worked? Lucien was not sure.
Picking up Moon Tir, Lucien felt it with his spiritual power. It still felt familiar to him.
After a while, Lucien put the tir back into his pocket and finally smiled. His own legendary item had finally beco the fourteenth top legendary item, and a new function had been added—Faster Cast!
Like Danisos’ talent, it could double his speed for casting legendary spells!
However, Danisos could use the power without limit, while Lucien could only use it three tis a day. But Lucien’s casting ti had been cut half, which made it equivalent to casting a common legendary spell.
Advanced Ti Stop and Gravity Collapse had reached the top legendary level. Although Lucien could only use them five tis a day, he was still very satisfied with the result, as he knew that with smart strategies, the power would be the key for him to win a fight!
Natasha also grinned, and she shared the joy with Lucien through electromagnetism ssaging. She then returned to her practice, although such practice might not be able to bring much difference to a level two legendary knight.
What was going on recently made her feel extrely alert, so she had to seize every second to improve herself.
In the past year, it seed that the entire situation of the world remained relatively peaceful, but this opinion was only shared by the common folks. In the eyes of the top legendaries, they knew sothing big was coming underneath the calm ocean surface.
The Dark Congress, the South Church, and the North Church never initiated a war in the past months. Instead, they were all targeting the countries ruled by fake gods north to the Dark Mountain Range. They were slowly eating in those countries and made them shrink further and further. A legendary level fake god could fall at any ti.
The Lord of Hell had also done so achievents in uniting the powers in the Boundless Ocean despite the interference from the Congress of Magic and Elven Court.
......
The sky was blue when Lucien walked toward Atom Institution. Today, his students, Heidi, Chelly, Lowi, and Alfalia, would be reporting their progress in “artificial intelligence”.
In the past year, most sorcerers were still working on digesting quantum theory, while the arcanists in the institution had already started converting the knowledge into their own powers. Among them, Annick was the first one who managed to make the breakthrough in his cognitive world and thus beca a senior-rank, while Sprint, Heidi, and Lazar were also almost there.
Even those apprentices, including Lowi, had reached the fourth or fifth circle.
Suddenly, Lucien felt that the floor was slightly trembling. He knew that it wasn’t from an explosion, but the “joy” of City in the Sky.
Lucien blinked to the core part of the city and saw the big smile on Fernando’s face.
“Haha, finally! The stable nuclear fission reactor!” said Fernando in triumph, whose gray hair looked a bit ssy.
