Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi's transformation from static to dynamic was too sudden. Child Emperor was still racking his brains to dig out more tips on combining superpowers and technology from Lin Zhenxi. Lin Zhenxi, who was originally standing there as if waiting for something, suddenly shook off his little robot and stood in the middle of the apron.

The Rat-Calling Flute has changed its appearance from a white jade flute into a gorgeous blue crystal staff, which is the amplification staff that Lin Zhenxi used during the magic transformation ceremony.

Lin Zhenxi grabbed the slender shaft of the amplification staff with both hands and inserted the amplification staff into the reserved control area of ​​the energy conversion magic circle under his feet.

Through the channel of the amplification staff, Lin Zhenxi's own magic power was connected with the magic circle under his feet, and he cast the first spark for the activation of the entire magic circle.

As Lin Zhenxi's magic power flowed into the magic circle, the entire magic circle lit up layer by layer from the inside out.

Although the magic circle that turns mud into stone is quite simple, the strategic-level magic formation is there. In any case, to those who don't know much about it, this huge and complex magic circle itself has extremely high ornamental value and visual impact.

Child Emperor was stunned. His little robot immediately turned on the scanning mode, scanning the magic circle pattern drawn by Lin Zhenxi on the rooftop millimeter by millimeter, without missing any tiny details.

But looking at the scan image of the magic circle that was gradually pieced together on the split screen, Child Emperor was still confused. He really couldn't understand how Lin Zhenxi made these simple lines and indentations interact with his own power. He couldn't see what kind of energy interaction took place between them.

He was so anxious that he started pulling his hair.

Meanwhile, as Lin Zhenxi activated the magic circle, the energy conversion magic circle also began to extract energy from the large coconut energy core. On Child Emperor's energy core status panel, the energy core's output power almost instantly jumped from 0 to 30%, and then continued to rise at a very steady slope.

After several stages of power increase, the power output of the energy core finally remained at 60%, with only slight fluctuations, and it was basically stable.

At this time, the magic circle under Lin Zhenxi's feet was no longer just glowing. Even lightning and arcs began to flash on every circuit and every magic rune. It was obvious that the rooftop apron, which served as the base of the magic circle, was unable to restrain the huge energy flowing within it, and energy leakage had inevitably begun to occur.

Although magic circles can be drawn on anything, different materials have completely different tolerances to the magic circle.

All objects without mystery will only enjoy the mystery bonus of the magic circle itself after being drawn on it, and that little mystery can only give them the most basic ability to withstand magic power. Once the magic power flowing through them exceeds the limit they can withstand, energy leakage or even overall collapse will occur.

The bases of excellent magic arrays themselves have excellent magic conductivity, so there is basically no need to worry about the base collapsing.

Unfortunately, the magic circle base is a disposable consumable and cannot be spliced. Any behavior that causes it to become less flat will destroy the quality of the magic circle base. Therefore, Lin Zhenxi cannot carry a lot of even the most common magic circle base, which is parchment. As for a magic circle as large as a strategic-level magic, Lin Zhenxi can only use local materials and use the flat tarmac under his feet as the base of the magic circle.

As expected, this rubbish-quality magic circle base could not withstand the magic flow of strategic-level magic, and was beginning to show signs of collapse.

This is the result of Lin Zhenxi's deliberate suppression, otherwise the power seen on Child Emperor's side would not be 60%, but 120%, directly heading towards overload.

Even such a figure was enough to shock Child Emperor. The boast he'd just made to Lin Zhenxi wasn't empty talk; this energy core could truly power an entire city. While it was only basic, maintaining lighting, water supply, and basic infrastructure, it was still the size of a massive city. No one would dismiss it as unimportant just because of that "only."

To be precise, this was the most powerful independent energy source ever developed by humans. And now, just by drawing some lines and symbols on the ground, Lin Zhenxi had directly drained 60% of the power of the energy core. Child Emperor couldn't figure out where all this huge energy had gone.

He couldn't see any electrical load at all, but the energy flowing into the grooves simply made them glow for a moment before disappearing. Where did all that energy go? Did it simply vanish into thin air? How on earth did she do it? Countless questions filled Child Emperor's mind, forcing him to open a lollipop and hold it in his mouth, urgently replenishing his brain with sugar.

At this time, Lin Zhenxi was actually under tremendous pressure. Don't think that suppressing the magic circle's output power would make it easier. If there was a choice, Lin Zhenxi would actually like to directly release the power limit and do his best to complete the rendering of the ownerless magic power from the energy conversion magic circle.

Everyone can kick the ball, but the hardest part is how to kick the ball accurately to the designated location.

Now Lin Zhenxi not only has to suppress the conversion efficiency of the energy conversion magic circle and control the flow of magic power flowing to the amplification wand, but also has to work hard to render those ownerless magic powers into magic power that can be controlled by herself. The pressure brought to Lin Zhenxi by doing two things at once is greater than she originally expected.

Soon, her body began to tremble, and the sweat on her forehead could not even condense into beads of sweat. It was directly decomposed and evaporated by the magical mist that was constantly swirling around her body, and disappeared.

Later, Lin Zhenxi was completely wrapped in the colorful magic mist, and her figure could not be seen at all. The huge magic power surrounded Lin Zhenxi's body, and there was a tendency for a storm to form.

When the magic power reached this level, even a stone with no magical aptitude could directly observe the existence of magic particles with the naked eye. However, these particles were still products of magic, and their inherent conflict with science made all of Child Emperor's detectors, except for normal optical imaging, completely ineffective.

It is obvious that those particles with different colors exist around Lin Zhenxi's body, but the feedback from the detector tells Child Emperor that there is nothing there except violent energy fluctuations. This obvious mistake even makes Child Emperor begin to doubt his life.

He clearly realized that the world he knew was only one side of the world. Beyond the world he knew, there existed unknown areas that he had never set foot in and could not even observe.

This is truly a… great discovery! Child Emperor unconsciously exerted force with his hands and pulled out a few strands of his hair.

As the magic power poured in, a large amount flowed into the strategic-level mud-to-stone magic circle, directly transcending the barriers of space and evenly dispersing into all the magic nodes connected to the magic circle. These magic nodes were like empty fuel tanks, and fuel began to flow into them. When the accumulated magic power reached the standard for activation, the strategic-level magic would be activated.

All magic nodes had the same priority, meaning Lin Zhenxi was simultaneously infusing thousands of them through the magic circle beneath his feet. Even the most massive flow of magic, after being evenly divided into thousands of parts, became a trickle. As a result, the infusion of magic into all the nodes progressed very slowly, and there was still some distance to go before the magic could be officially activated.

This is why strategic-level magic is called legion magic. Very few, really very few. Only rare great magicians have the huge magic power to independently release strategic-level magic. The normal situation should be to share the required magic power through the collective chanting of a magician legion. Each magician participating in the chanting is only responsible for the magic infusion work of one or several magic nodes. This will greatly reduce the burden on each magician.

Of course, as the number of people increases, the coordination of each magician will become a big problem. The differences in magic fluctuations between magicians also need to be coordinated by the commander-in-chief. The same strategic-level magic, when released by a magician army, will actually consume several times more magic than a single person, and the excess part will be wasted.

But even so, it is still the more common choice to have the magician corps release strategic-level magic, because there are too few forbidden spell mages who can release strategic-level magic independently, and they will never be used to do relatively rough work such as strategic-level magic.

Black Cat was also looking at Lin Zhenxi with worry, but she couldn't help in this situation. She was Lin Zhenxi's familiar, not a magical device that could provide her with an amplification effect. Now, besides being anxious, she could do nothing.

Fortunately, this precarious balance, though seemingly poised to collapse at any moment, was ultimately suppressed by Lin Zhenxi to a critically critical state. Rowing this shattered and leaking boat, Lin Zhenxi barely reached the shore of victory—all the magic nodes were infused with enough magic power to activate the mud-to-stone magic, reaching the standard for activating strategic-level magic.

Lin Zhenxi immediately cast the magic without any hesitation.

In fact, she couldn't hold on any longer, relying entirely on a belief to support her. Now that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, she completely collapsed.

Fortunately, her efforts paid off. As the magic circle was reduced to dust, thousands of magical nodes throughout J City's underground simultaneously activated mud-to-stone magic, hardening the subsoil, already eroded by seawater, into a monolithic structure resembling rock.

What this will bring to the city in the future remains unknown. But at least for now, Lin Zhenxi can proudly say that she has protected this city, which is so important to the people of this world. In this disaster, she is the true hero.
