Loki sat casually in the living room of the Stardust Mansion, drinking the beverages that Utaha had served him without any ceremony.
"Wow, Astrea~~, I just realized today that you have so many cute girls in your family. Ahhhhh~~ I'm so envious!"
She took another big gulp and added, "The wine is quite good too."
Astraea smiled, her eyes narrowed, "Don't you dare try to take advantage of the children. I went through a lot of trouble to 'collect' them."
Loki hiccuped and patted Astraea on the shoulder, saying:
"Don't worry, don't worry, we've known each other for a long time, and I know you and Freya have the same 'collecting obsession'. I don't want to be targeted by you, the 'Guardian of the City'."
Hermes, pulling down his hat, chuckled and said, "Well, we came here out of curiosity. It's quite astonishing that we could find such cheating tools in the mortal realm."
He smiled confidently and said, "So, it really is that young man."
Astrea nodded: "I still have to thank Hermes. If it weren't for your introduction, the child wouldn't have come to me."
Hephaestus sipped his tea with interest: "So, there's more to the story?"
Hermes said, "That kid's goal is very clear, he's obviously after you, so don't tease me."
Hephaestus said:
"Well, can you show us what kind of prop it is? Everyone's here to satisfy their curiosity, right?"
Astrea smiled and said, "This is a clan secret... I'm sure no one will accept it if I say it like this."
"I'll let you in on a little bit. It's an item that can awaken a specific kind of magic. The child is absorbing it right now."
Hermes pressed further, "As for magic, casting a little spell shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, you'll have to use it sooner or later, won't you?"
Astrea thought for a moment; if she didn't satisfy the curiosity of these gods, there would probably be even more trouble later on...
"Okay. Just a brief demonstration."
The gods made this decision while waiting for Shaka to complete his magical awakening.
A moment later, the door to the upstairs room was opened.
Astraea led Shaka to the hall where the gods resided.
"Oh, the main character has appeared!"
"Quick, let us see what kind of rare magic can be blessed by divine power!! Is it even more powerful than Acetan's magic!"
"I am looking forward too."
Seeing this scene, Xia Jia exchanged a glance with the goddess.
Astraea nodded slowly, her eyes saying: Showing only a part is enough.
then……
Before the gods, Shaka closed his eyes and slowly extended his palm.
"Synchronization begins. (trace on)!"
"Basic framework, explained."
“The constituent materials are explained.”
"Constitute the material, reinforce it."
Emerald green patterns, like those on a circuit board, spread across Xia Jia's arm. The next moment, starlight shimmered, converged, and finally materialized.
Shaga held a dagger in his hand and closed one eye:
"With projection magic, I can use magic to skip the forging process of weapons and directly create items! As long as I understand the principle, I can even forge divine artifacts!"
This is, of course, a lie.
Seeing the gods in silent contemplation, Shaka slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile...
Chapter 270: The Construction of Fantasy.
To lie openly in front of God.
This is exactly the effect he wants!
Shaga was certain that the gods would not pursue the matter.
Everyone knows that information about magic is a clan secret, so it's only natural to conceal or mislead information.
The purpose of these gods' visit was to find verifiable information from these misleading and deceptive magic spells.
Loki rested his chin on his fist and asked, "Are you sure that the magic you just demonstrated was magic awakened from a divine artifact?"
Shaka smiled: "I'm sure!"
No lies.
Hermes smiled, "That's fine."
Hephaestus frowned slightly: "A weapon that is not made with the blood and tears of a blacksmith has no soul."
"Young man, if you want to become a great blacksmith, you still have a lot to learn!"
Hephaestus, despite holding the belief that "weapons that grow on their own are heretical and an insult to the blacksmith,"
But Shaga's projection magic left her unsure how to evaluate it.
Forging that achieves instant success, without process, only theory and result, will never allow a forger to forge equipment with soul.
If it were her own familia, she might have guided him step by step, leading Shaka onto the 'right path'. But now, he is someone else's familia...
She sighed, ultimately not wanting such a promising talent to go to waste: "From now on, if you have any questions about forging, you can ask me anytime. This is compensation for watching this magic show."
With Hephaestus taking the lead, Loki and Hermes also made their promises in succession:
"We'll grant you one reasonable request, just this once."
Xia Jia raised an eyebrow: "Let Ais go on a date with me?"
Loki exploded: "This is the only one that won't do!"
……
After seeing the gods off, Shaka slowly returned to his room.
The magic he awakened this time was certainly not as simple as projection magic.
[Fantasy Composition]
This is the name of the magic that Shaga awakened.
As the name suggests, it involves creating objects directly using imagination; the stronger the desire, the more powerful the object created.
The information displayed on the favor is:
[Fantasy Composition]
• Consume mental energy to create all imaginary creations.
The more detailed the imagination, the stronger the emotion, and the more powerful the creation.
……
The description is simple: it relies on imagination, desire, and mental energy as fuel to create all the fantastical props that Shaka imagines. It has a similar effect to projection magic, but is more versatile.
A similar magic appeared in the story of "Konosuba," which was obtained by a shut-in time traveler from Aqua before Kazuma Sato's time travel.
That is, the creator of the [Mobile Fortress] and the [Crimson Demon Clan].
Of course, such powerful magic is subject to very strict restrictions in the original work.
Unlike Shaka, whose magic is backed by spiritual power, the magic user in Konosuba spent four years creating only uncontrollable robots within his preferred field.
Time, and the idealism of desire and imagination, are the greatest limitations of this magic.
In the original work, the greatest masterpiece of this magic is probably the so-called cyborg Red Demon race, but that was also an accidental product, a pure problem child.
That was a work that the old man completed in his later years.
Some might say that the magic couldn't be fully unleashed simply because the old man was too silly. They'd say, "If it were me, I'd be making curry sticks with my hands or riding on wheels of fire!"
But Shaga wasn't that naive.
The old man in the original work is the best proof!
Was it that his imagination was lacking? Or that his desire wasn't strong enough?
No, none of those. Shaka can totally understand how much a shut-in wants to create a gentle and obedient maid robot, and even a Gundam.
For those people, Gundam is a man's romance, a belief!
However, the result was still a bunch of unstable, rampaging robots.
In his words, sitting inside the giant robot was like being put into a washing machine. And all the machines he created would occasionally go berserk.
From his youth to his gray-haired and bald years, despite having strong desires, he never produced a single decent work.
This is the limitation of this magic.
"My magic, though subtly different, will most likely encounter similar issues. What I need to do now is find a way to bypass these limitations and discover a bug that allows me to fully utilize my magic."
Shaga knew very well that it wasn't a cheating magic that could make whatever it wanted happen; it followed certain operating principles.
