I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Chapter 190: Surpassing All Wizards to Become the Second... God!

Rorl dashed downward, the scent of blood growing stronger. Along the way, he had encountered several bodies, their deaths peculiar, as if life had been snatched away by magic without any chance to react.

"Curses! What in the world is happening? Has the Council been infiltrated?" Rorl cursed loudly. The defenses within the Crown of Sun Tower had utterly failed.

Undoubtedly, there was a traitor within the Council, leaking information about their operation. Then, taking advantage of the vulnerability in the Tower's defenses, they infiltrated the core of the Mage Council.

Rorl was extremely anxious but encountered a group of familiar figuresthe ones led by Ougust, who had gone to besiege the Doomsday Sect.

"Teacher!" Rorl exclaimed in surprise, instantly relieved. If Ougust was here, then the situation on the other side should be resolved.

But he didn't have time to inquire further. "Teacher, your return is timely. Enemies have breached the Mage Council. The guards I arranged were attacked, and the protective enchantments failed. There might be a traitor inside!"

"And there's the Doomsday Sect. It's likely connected to Kashimo, the one you killed two months ago... I investigated his records. He was the right-hand man of the dark mage Merk five years ago. I suspect recent events are all related to him..." Rorl rapidly conveyed his speculations.

Ougust remained calm, patiently listening to Rorl's account while heading deeper into the Crown of Sun Tower. Then, with interest, he inquired, "Are these your own deductions?"

"No, it's Lord Lynn's speculation, but I believe it's highly accurate," Rorl asserted firmly.

"He seems clever!" Ougust praised generously but then shook his head after glancing at Rorl. "But compared to him, you lack a bit."

Rorl hesitated, a hint of embarrassment on his face. Naturally, he couldn't compare to Lord Lynn.

"Teacher, where are we going?" Rorl followed Ougust, puzzled. Shouldn't they be gathering forces to search for the traitors and intruders?

"The Control Chamber!" Ougust replied casually.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the Control Chambera bronze door adorned with intricate alchemical patterns, notably featuring a central device resembling a roulette wheel.

There were no signs of damage, indicating no one had breached this place...

Rorl wasn't surprised. The door to the Control Chamber was fortified with profound magic, accessible only by the Councilors.

"Do you know, Rorl, sometimes magic can be deceived, like mistaking you for someone else, just like this..." Ougust placed his hand on the center of the wheel. With a violent tremor, the pointer on the wheel shifted to the imprint representing the Fayz Dragon.

Click! Accompanied by a faint sound, the wheel began rotating slowly, soon sinking in, and the heavy bronze door opened slowly, revealing a spacious area beyond.

No, perhaps describing it as an ocean of elements was more fittinga vast hall storing all the elements known to wizards. They floated in the void, mimicking forms with magical luminescence, emitting enchanting radiance...

This itself was a powerful magic, the second layer of defense within the Control Chamber! However, as a Council member, Ougust naturally remained unharmed.

"Teacher, did Lord Fayz instruct you to come here? What are we doing here?" Rorl sensed something amiss but was reluctant to believe his suspicions.

"We're here to take something..." Ougust said leisurely and then asked, "Do you know why the Council restricts the study of Psychic Magic?"

"To prevent the emergence of evil Psychic Wizards like Merk?" Rorl tentatively answered.

"No, you're mistaken. Those legendary wizards did so to prevent the discovery of a secret." Ougust's expression turned somber, his voice becoming icy. "Psychic Magic is the foundation. There's no real difference between so-called gods and wizards. Or rather, the pinnacle of magic is theology!"

The pinnacle of magic is theology?

Hearing Ougust's words, Rorl felt a chill creeping up from his feet.

"The so-called Lord of Stars, the Goddess of the Moon, Ellashe was the first to transcend the limits of wizards..." Ougust patiently explained, akin to his previous lectures on magic to Rorl.

"That's why the Council prohibits anyone from delving deeply into Psychic Arts, and they vie for the limited resources of the wizarding domainalthough harnessing the collective power of the entire wizarding domain can only foster one new magical deity, yet here we have five legendary wizards..."

"They distrust, guard against, fear, and covet each other... None dare to take that step forward, preferring to confine themselves to this small wizarding domain, vehemently preventing new wizards from ascending to legendary status..."

"But it's time for a change now..." Ougust's tone grew sharper, hinting at fervor. "From today onwards, all of Grynriel will transform into a divine realm, and I will surpass all wizards, becoming the second... God!"

Rorl gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, stepping backward continuously until he stumbled and fell clumsily to the ground...

"You are not my teacher, Ougust... Who are you?" Rorl's trembling lips shouted out. Perhaps the other party had used shapeshifting magic to assume this appearance.

"If you mean that teacher, the one who broke through to the Mage's Star within four years, that indeed was me..." Ougust spoke nonchalantly.

His original body had aged, necessitating a search for a perfect, naturally gifted body.

He had chosen the young prodigy Ougust, already renowned within the wizarding domain.

After faking his death and escaping, he had taken over Ougust's body, effortlessly breaking through to the Mage's Star again, becoming Grynriel's highly sought-after Magical Star, and even smoothly entering the Council.

"Of course, you can also call me... Spirit of Elements, or the new God of MagicMerk!" Ougust declared, word by word.
