Throne of Magical Arcana Chapter 579

Chapter 579
Before the complicated feelings in his heart died away, waves of spiritual power, after being adjusted by the ritual of ‘Origin of Magic’, flowed toward him gently at Lucien’s own frequency .
In the meantime, the whole deep, boundless sky quaked slightly . The mysterious force was concentrated on the projection of Lucien’s Host Star of Destiny . Because Fernando hosted the ritual in person, the ‘star of mysteries’, the terrible darkness behind it that seemed able to absorb everything, was not neglected .
The projection of the Host Star of Destiny hummed and shivered with noises that were inaudible to ordinary people . In the meantime, Lucien summoned his cognitive world in meditation, allowing the bright and dark Host Star of Destiny inside shake at the same time . As they were synchronized, Lucien had the feeling that the real world was ebbing, and that his cognitive world was surrounding his body and his soul .
After the half-solidification, Lucien’s cognitive world was already able to influence the real world as he wished . Therefore, Lucien gradually spread out the feeling and changed everything around him .
At the center of the ritual, the stars were vaguely curved . Symbols of elements flashed in different colors, with the internal structure made of protons, neutrons and electrons . They split and gathered, producing the myriad of elements in the material world, before all the elements were gathered into the pure iron universe .
Lucien’s legendary class, ‘Atom Controller’, did not seem to overlap with the path of quantum mechanics that he intended to walk on, but quantum mechanics were based on the exploration of the microworld after all . The studies on the electron alone had produced amazing and unbelievable achievements . Then, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, the last two of the four fundamental forces, were recognized, before the basic model of particles was developed and the electromagnetic power and the weak nuclear force were united .
Therefore, the shabby model of atomic nucleus was deepened and developed into a standard model of particles without changing the foundation .
After a while, the pure influence of the cognitive world ‘touched’ Lucien’s body for real, making him feel the tremendous power .
Surpassing his body, his cognitive world and his soul met in the material world . Under their influence, the starry magic models constructed inside his soul all glittered with bright and dreamy brilliance .
Lucien felt that his soul was shaking, and that his ability to think and control the cognitive world plummeted . It was ten times more difficult for him to continue the modification of his soul with the cognitive world .
The magic models were vaguely curved like real stars, which gradually raised Lucien’s viewpoint and gave him a strange feeling that he was looking down at himself from somewhere high .
The quake of the soul was even more intense . The edge became blurry and was connected to the unpredictable cognitive world . Then, it expanded into a fleeting cloud that intended to enshroud the cognitive world from the outside . At this point, Lucien’s spiritual power almost ran dry, but the spiritual power of the six grand arcanists proved by the ritual of Origin of Magic was as incessant as an ocean, ready for him to squander .

With the lofty feeling, Lucien recovered from the shock of melding with his spiritual power . He watched the cognitive world collapse and develop into his soul, containing the magic models .
As a result, three curtains were formed . The soul was at the outermost level, then it was the cognitive world, and there were plenty of magic models inside the cognitive world . He felt that he was in control of everything .
Dwelling in the fabulous feeling, Lucien suddenly felt excruciating pain . He knew that the most difficult test had come, especially when his soul hadn’t reached the standard of legendary yet!
His cognitive world suddenly expanded, tearing holes in the soul at the outermost level .
The pain from his soul almost made Lucien give up, but he gritted his teeth and tried to enjoy it while he repaired his soul with the power transmitted by the ritual of Origin of Magic!
Very soon, the pain arrived at the peak . Lucien felt that his soul was full of wounds . Also, the Origin of Magic could not repair his soul as fast now .
If it were any other time, Lucien would’ve passed out, because the pain surpassed what his body and his soul could bear . However, his mind and his soul seemed separated right now . There was no sign that he was falling into a coma .
Lucien knew that the pain would be gone if his mind returned to his body, but the ritual would also fail if so .
Having no time to recall his life experiences or curse fate, Lucien had only one thought in his head, which was to persist, persist and persist!
At some point, the unimaginable pain gradually weakened, and the ‘resistance’ of his cognitive world was gentler and gentler . Although his soul was riddled with holes, it was still powered by the Origin of Magic .
Lucien was about to heave a sigh in relief, when unpredictable colors that did not belong to this world glittered . The spirit library that had accompanied him since his rebirth appeared!
Inside the spirit library, all the books were unsealed . Then, the library was smaller and smaller as if Lucien were flying higher and higher, until it was replaced by a beautiful, dreamy planet that was covered with a blue ocean .
Is it Earth?
Lucien had complicated feelings .
Earth was also smaller and smaller as Lucien flew higher . The sun, the eight planets and poor Pluto were connected into a line like a picture .
Is it the solar system?
Lucien’s feeling of looking down at everything did not stop . Even the solar system was reduced in size . Countless stars gathered into a surging river .
“Don’t dwell in the illusion . Navigate the power into the cognitive world in your soul . ” Fernando’s strict voice echoed next to Lucien’s ears . They couldn’t detect the changes inside Lucien’s soul, but they could infer Lucien’s phase from his apparent behavior .
Illusion? Is it an illusion?
Lucien was very confused, but he directed the overwhelming power of the Origin of Magic into his soul without delay, towards the struggling cognitive world .
The humming stopped, and a terrifying energy storm was raised in his cognitive world . The magic models such as ‘Atomic Fission’, being irrigated by them, shined one symbol after another and melded with the soul, like the magic models from the first circle to the ninth circle!

Boom!
In the soundless explosion, ‘Atomic Fission’ was quickly constructed without any additional control . That was the ‘privilege’ of a grand arcanist who had a legendary class and a fundamental spell!
The energy continued surging, but the shimmer of ‘Eternal Blaze’ already made his soul about to explode . Then, it fell quiet and showed no more reaction .
Even though it was a basic legendary spell, Lucien needed to be level-three legendary in order to construct it, or his soul would not be able to bear it!
The energy was still flowing . The complicated signals of the legendary class, ‘Atom Controller’, glowed with the ‘Atomic Fission’ at the center, until they were gathered and unleashed unimaginable spiritual power, repairing and improving his soul .
Lucien sensed the rapid growth of his soul . It turned from weak to succulent and was even about to explode .
Without panicking, Lucien gathered the energy storm and his spiritual power and released them to the void outside!
Tides rumbled, creating a tiny demiplane in the void before him .
The demiplane quickly expanded, absorbing the materials from the advancement ritual of ‘Atom Controller’ while changing according to Lucien’s cognitive world . This was a boundless space where every star was made of two parts in different colors and surrounded by a certain number of illusionary ‘planets’ . They seemed to be everywhere, but when one observed more carefully, they would be only in one spot .
Among them, the planet that represented iron was larger and larger, turning into the place where Lucien’s magic tower would be located .
The demiplane shivered and gradually stabilized . A space node was directly connected to Lucien’s soul, so that he could jump to his own demiplane wherever he was as long as nothing was interrupting teleportation . His life was much safer .
After the demiplane was completely steady, Lucien opened his eyes, only to discover that the illusionary sky of fate was gone, the materials in the advancement ritual were gone, and the materials for the ritual of Origin of Magic became ashes .
Sensing his influence on the real world and the terrifying strength, Lucien asked in delight:
“Is this the power of legendary?”
Fernando asked with a loud voice, “What’s the name of your legendary class?”
“Atom Controller . ” Replied Lucien with a smile .
“The name of your demiplane?”
Approach Science 1 … Lucien almost blurted out . Holding back his amusement, he said, “The internal structure of atoms is somewhat similar to space . The microscopic world is like a fractal universe . So, it will be named as ‘Atomic Universe’ .
“An integration of the smallest and the largest . Good . ” Oliver praised him .
Douglas smiled, “You’d better be adapted to the changes of your soul and your spiritual power after you’re back . The day after tomorrow, you will participate in the meeting of the Highest Council for the first time . ”
“Yes, Mr . President . ” Lucien was as respectful as before .
Fernando walked out together with Lucien and suggested solemnly, “You need to choose your legendary spells wisely . The level one of legendary can only support three legendary spells . The capacity will grow to six as your strength increases . So, you need to choose them appropriately with consideration of your needs in attack, defense, escape, control and all the other aspects . ”
“Master, I understand . I’ll pick the legendary spells judiciously after I’m stabilized . ” Lucien nodded .
It was common sense for legendary sorcerers . As their level advanced, they would be able to pick up more legendary spells, and their demiplane would be more complete . The level two of legendary supported ten legendary spells at most, and the level three, fifteen . For the top legendary experts like the president, they could wield twenty-one spells . Also, every advancement in level involved a better integration of the soul and the cognitive world and a strong solidification of the cognitive world .
Fernando nodded, “Keep your advancement a secret for now . Don’t tell anybody except your queen . We won’t tell it in the Highest Council, either . After all, the title of grand arcanist is enough for you to enjoy all the privileges . In such a case, the Church will be ‘surprised’ if they plot against you . ”
The Lord of the Undead was not invited partly because he was in the alternate dimension and partly because the Hand of Paleness was not very friendly to Lucien . It was for the sake of confidentiality .
……
Inside Babel…
Seated on the sofa lazily, Lucien turned on the magic radio and listened to the president’s speech:
“…I admit that I was very confused about the nature of gravity, but the supreme being I referred to was the truth of the world and the law of the universe, which had nothing to do with gods…”
“…On the path of arcana, I have as many questions as any of you do . I am often lost, and I have to grit my teeth in my exploration and research . The only difference between you and me is that I have walked further than you for now, but it’s possible that some of you will exceed me in the future . Therefore, I do not represent the truth of arcana; your logical, flawless deduction and observation, as well as your strict experiment data and results does . Only the arcana studies based on such things are of actual significance, and the other notions are still in the category of philosophy…”
“…The universe is so vast that we have to stumble forward in fear, but we will never give up…”
“…This time, Benedict III has shown his understanding and application of the magic from the ancient Magic Empire . It suggests that he is much more underdeveloped than we are, and that they are in the bloody, primitive phase . It means that we are on the correct path…”
Listening to the president’s speech quietly, Lucien put on a smile .

I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground.

He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.
