Chapter 638: Fusion Simulation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the civilization war began, the Alabaster Dimension was almost completely empty. In just a few months, the Alabaster Dimension slowly became more lively, and many unfamiliar faces began to appear.
These Wizards were from other dimensions who had hurried to the front line. Ever since the civilization war erupted, Arcane Wizard Setoh had mobilized the entire Spell Caster civilization. All Spell Casters, even plunderers, had to be rushed to the front line.
Of course, there were not many Spell Casters who could be rushed there, especially Great Legends. It was nowhere near the first batch that arrived in droves. As Progenitor Hanra said, the Spell Caster civilization was not in a very good state. Although its overall strength was indeed stronger than the Rock Tribe, they still had to guard against other foreign civilizations.
These Spell Casters also hurriedly rushed over to the front line. Occasionally, some Spell Casters who had returned to the Alabaster Dimension from the front line would shake their heads helplessly while discussing the situation, expressing their pessimism.
Merlin stayed at the Alabaster Dimension, and used this period to try combining a Six-Elemental Wizard Heart, striving to become a Great Wizard soon.
However, when Merlin thought about the extrapolation of countless possibilities in the future, where an overwhelming majority ended up in failure, Merlin felt a little hopeless.
“If I could extrapolate for a period of time and see more possibilities in the future without hurting myself, maybe I’ll have more confidence in combining a Spell Model.”
Merlin occasionally had thoughts like that. He knew that he was already extremely lucky to have an Ultimate Arcane Wizard to extrapolate for him once. There would not be a second time.
Furthermore, he could tell by Wizard Setoh’s fatigued expression that extrapolating the future was definitely not simple. To want a second extrapolation was simply an extravagant hope.
“Merlin, I might have a way to let you try to combine a Spell Model. However, I don’t know if it’ll have any effect.”
t.i.tus’ voice suddenly sounded by Merlin’s ear.
“You have a way? You can extrapolate the future?”
Merlin’s eyes brightened. If t.i.tus could extrapolate the future, then no matter how high the price was, it would be worth it.
However, t.i.tus shook his head. “Extrapolating the future was impossible for me even when I formed the Illusory World… I can’t extrapolate your future but you can simulate your current state in the Illusory World, and try to fuse a Wizard Heart from the Illusory World!”
“Simulate fusing a Wizard Heart in the Illusory World?” Merlin frowned. The Illusory World was indeed very realistic. Although he clearly knew that it was an illusion, he could not find any indication about it being an illusion.
In other words, when Merlin was in the Illusory World, he had no way of breaking through the Illusory World. If he tried to combine a spell according to his condition and used a portion of his Mind Power in the Illusory World, it might be a viable option.
However, an illusion was still an illusion. Combining a Spell Model in the Illusory World did not mean that when Merlin truly combined a spell in the future, it would be the same as in the Illusory World.
This could be very different from the future that Wizard Setoh had extrapolated. The extrapolated future was infinite but real, and could be used as a reference when Merlin combined a Spell Model.
As for the Illusory World, Merlin also did not know if it would be useful. However, it was an option, so Merlin wanted to give it a try. Perhaps experiencing the process of combining a Spell Model in the Illusory World would be able to enlighten him.
“Then, I’ll give it a try.”
Merlin immediately projected his Mind Power into the Illusory World.
The Illusory World currently was not as peaceful as before. Although the entire Illusory World was an illusion, it was a world that t.i.tus had formed based on the Slothful Beast world. Everything that happened inside would not disappear, and the entire world would continue to develop.
Since Merlin split up one-third of the Illusory World, there was a great impact on the entire world. Merlin could see a large crack in the sky as if the sky had been abruptly cut off.
Furthermore, various terrifying storms had swept past, leaving the entire Illusory World in a desolate state.
“Wizard Merlin, as you can see, the current Illusory World isn’t very peaceful. I’m afraid it’ll take a long time for it to slowly recover. However, as you said, it doesn’t affect much. The most important problem is Mind Power. If you try combining a Spell Model in the Illusory World, you’ll need to spend a lot of Mind Power.”
t.i.tus warned in a low voice.
“Spend Mind Power? That’s not a problem. I’ll be staying in the Illusory World for a long time, and I also want to experience the feeling of combining a Spell Model. Of course, I’ll have to spend Mind Power.”
Merlin did not find any problem with that. It was normal to spend Mind Power. He only wanted to give it a try and see if it worked or not.
Even if he could only reach half of the effect that Wizard Setoh had extrapolated, it would be considered incredible.
“Alright, enlighten yourself in the Illusory World. Just be careful not to spend too much Mind Power!”
t.i.tus disappeared after he had finished speaking. In the Illusory World, only Merlin and t.i.tus had an omnipotent position.
Merlin gently closed his eyes, and started to carefully sense the six types of Wizard Hearts in his body. In fact, each of Merlin’s Wizard Heart was extremely powerful because of the perfect-grade spells. Just one of Merlin’s Wizard Heart could be comparable to a Spell Caster’s Wizard Heart after three or four fusions.
Each Wizard Heart was already so powerful, much less if the six were combined. Perhaps since the birth of Spell Casters, no one had had a single Wizard Heart as strong as Merlin’s.
In the Illusory World, although he knew that it was illusory, the powerful feeling of the Wizard Heart in is body was very realistic, making people feel as if they were in the real world.
Merlin took a deep breath, and began to adjust his mind. This feeling of reality was exactly what Merlin needed. Even if he failed, Merlin also hoped that he would get some experience and understanding from it.
Merlin first chose the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart. When Wizard Setoh had extrapolated the various possibilities in the future, he had already “personally” experienced the process of combining Wizard Hearts. Thus, he was very familiar.
“Combine!”
As Merlin used his powerful Mind Power, the two Wizard Hearts that Merlin was most familiar with started to slowly merge together. These two Wizard Hearts had just touched before exploding in a violent shaking force. It was almost exactly the same as the various possible futures that Wizard Setoh had extrapolated.
As a result, Merlin paid more attention, and continued to focus his mind as if he was truly combining the Wizard Hearts.
“Bang.”
Under Merlin’s forced merging, the two Wizard Hearts were unable to successfully combine. Although Merlin was not blasted to smithereens from the violent force, the other Wizard Hearts in Merlin’s body were all shattered.
Thus, Merlin’s first attempt at fusing in the Illusory World had failed.
“Good, good! What a realistic experience. So, illusions can also reach this degree?”
Merlin was shocked from his heart. He felt that there would be many differences when trying to fuse a Wizard Heart in the Illusory World, and that it might even affect his judgment when he truly fused a Wizard Heart in the future.
However, after this first attempt, Merlin realized that there was no difference from when he tried fusing spells under Wizard Setoh’s extrapolation of the future.
If there was a difference, then it was because Merlin was not confident. Deep in his heart, he still felt that it was an illusion, and so could not represent changes in the real world.
If there was just a slight difference, it would be very fatal to Merlin when he had combined his Six-Elemental Wizard Heart in the future.
“There’ll definitely be some flaws. It’s an illusion after all. Some changes in the fusing process can’t be completely believed but it’s still very appropriate to use it to absorb some experience in the fusing process!”
Merlin carefully concluded his first attempt at combining spell models in the Illusory World. There were still many benefits but his Mind Power was indeed being spent very quickly. Trying to fuse another two to three times would consume most of Merlin’s Mind Power and cause him to become fatigued. At that time, he would not be able to continue remaining at the Illusory World.
However, the greatest advantage still lay in the Illusory World where Merlin could grasp the initiative in his hands. He made up his mind to combine the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-Type Wizard Heart.
Therefore, he remained in the Illusory World, and fused the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart unceasingly, acc.u.mulating a lot of experience. In the future when Merlin truly started fusing the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart, it would be very advantageous, imperceptibly increasing his chances of a successful combination.
While Merlin was combining spells in the Illusory World, in the front line battlefield, the Rock Tribe and Spell Casters were plunged into a frantic battle.
In just a few months, both sides had lost more than thirty Great Legends.
Usually, the death of a Great Legend would be a major event, but now, dozens of Great Legends had died. This had shown the cruelty of the civilization war.
However, it was still the Spell Casters who had lost more. Originally, with the Spell Casters’ overall strength, they wanted to occupy some advantages. However, after a few months of battle, they ended up losing the most.
“Wizard Setoh, we can’t carry on like this. We must find a way! Even if the strength of the Progenitor’s Bodies formed by the Rock Creatures is only comparable to a Great Wizard, when they unite, their power greatly increases. We’re at a great disadvantage!”
In the main hall of the castle, many Great Wizards fixed their eyes on Arcane Wizard Setoh, their eyes full of expectation. They hoped that Arcane Wizard Setoh could come up with an effective way to reverse the situation!
