Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 243 Power and Authority

"No, it's not guidance -" Lucia muttered, "If he can really realize the unified spell that directly points to the essence of magic power, he can directly 'control' the opponent's magic power, and even go one step further, breaking through the magical power and The boundaries between magic, prayer and witchcraft, and a unified theory explaining all the forces in nature.”

"Do you know what this means, Se Lian?"

Se Lian's body couldn't help but shake. After her mind went blank for a brief moment, she felt every inch of her skin, flesh, bones and even her soul tremble.

Once this unified theory is really formed, it means that all the rules since the Star and Moon Era—no, since the furnace gave birth to life—will be completely rewritten. Before that, the so-called "magic prayers have the same origin" were just some empty talkers. However, after this, the two concepts of divine power and magic will no longer exist, and all the laws of power in the known world will fly to a new realm.

In that new field, the differences between origin magic, pyroxene magic, night magic and Kallia magic will become extremely small, and the dispute between the golden tree doctrine and fundamentalism will be as childish and ridiculous as a child playing house. , even the authority in the hands of the aloof gods will no longer be unique.

At that time, a golden priest who believed in the Eternal Queen could hold up the sacred scripture and chant the legendary magic belonging to the Origin Sect, and a wild mage without faith could also use his staff to release the prayer magic belonging to the golden tree. Races, civilizations, The barriers between countries and beliefs will completely collapse with the unification of power. Even those external gods originating from the starry sky will usher in the fall of divine power amidst roars and wailings of fear.

For the people of that era, was it really necessary for the concept of "law", which was based on the power system of the current gods, to explain the laws of all things and maintain the operation of the world, to exist?

Se Lian didn't dare to think deeply anymore. At this moment, even with her consistent spirit of exploring unknown things, she couldn't help but feel a kind of creepy horror.

"I will give him a chance -" Lucia said, "The force field is only the most superficial application of Mr. Tops' theory. After the research at hand is completed, I hope you can also join in the development of this unified theory. Over time, its birth will completely rewrite the future of this world."

Serian was silent for a while, as if mustering up great courage, she raised her head and stared at Lucia's empty face, and whispered: "Master, I have a question to ask you."

"Ask." Lucia smiled.

"The development of a unified theory and a unified technique is certainly an unprecedented initiative for us researchers, but is it really a good thing for you?"

She didn't say it clearly, but Lucia already understood the hidden meaning in her words.

The reason why the gods are supreme lies in their unique and unrepeatable powerful authority, such as the "corruption" of Scarlet Corruption, the "pain" of the Mother of Truth, the "purification" of the Full Moon Goddess, the "mystery" of the Dark Moon Goddess, and so on. "Order" and "Chaos" of the Supreme Will.

With their own unique authority and laws, gods can rely on them to recruit believers, bestow favors, gather faith, and expand their power. The most important point is that as long as the laws are not taken away or broken, it will be difficult for them to do so. Completely dead.

Even if they lose their physical bodies accidentally, there is a high chance that they will gradually revive after a long sleep and eventually return in full glory.

However, Lucia Sanks, who appeared in front of Se Lian in the form of "Eternal Dragon", happened to be one of the gods in her eyes.

"Hahahaha." Lucia suddenly laughed without warning. He slapped the armrest of the throne and leaned forward and back for a while before gradually suppressing his smile. "It really makes me happy that you can ask this question, Se Lian," he said. "This is probably enough to prove that the relationship between our master and servant has gone beyond the cold transaction in the field of knowledge. At least you can stand on my side. Think about things from a profit perspective.”

"However, you may have forgotten what I said when we first met. In this long and never-ending journey, only knowledge can arouse my remaining interest."

"This world, and even the starry sky outside the world, is the mage tower and testing ground for me. I try to influence this world with my limited knowledge, and gain more knowledge in the process - although I often They will be understood as beings similar to other gods, but I don’t care whether they can exist in the world I intervene in.”

He raised his head and stared at the magnificent nebula above the battlefield of memory, and sighed leisurely: "During this journey, it would be best if we are in peace with each other, but if they block my way forward, I don't mind taking their opposite measures. Brutal way to make some people leave early."

"So, relax, my believer," he smiled gently, "Maybe somewhere you can't see, I am planning the way forward in a way you can't think of, and maybe one day I will meet you Are the mortals passing by me my incarnation?"

Se Lian was slightly startled, then bowed his head in relief and said, "My master's wisdom is far beyond the reach of his subordinates. I am just being smart."

Lucia just waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't care, but in fact, after this incident, he had invisibly paved the way for his future action of taking off his vest.

When he needs to let Se Lian, Tops and others move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, he only needs to arrange a suitable time for the "Eternal Dragon" to make a glorious exit, and then take over as Lucia Sanks.

"I will arrange a meeting in the near future to summon you, Mr. Tops, and another friend of ours to attend. As a senior, you will have to guide them more."

Lucia said, raising her palm and motioning towards her seat in the first row on the left: "From now on, this is your place."

Se Lian subconsciously glanced at the entire long table in front of Lucia. Following the owner's wishes, he also found another traveler besides Mr. Tops during this time.

Tops alone has come up with an advanced idea that is enough to subvert the future of the entire world. If one day, this long table can be filled with seats as the owner said, what kind of grand scene will it be?

Compared with the gods of the stars hiding in dark corners, compared with their clumsy ways of fighting for power and trying to control the world, only the master and the explorers who follow him can bring a world with unlimited power. possible future.

On this point, Se Lian firmly believed.
