Chapter 1539: Chapter 1533: Insufficient Capacity
"We’ve come this far..."
"No one can choose to give up at a time like this."
Ronald made the judgment with great certainty.
Having just reviewed the documents, he understood the pattern of data arrangement here, and now he walked directly to a long table on the right.
"The records here should be the most recent."
Picking up the scroll from the table, Ronald focused his gaze on it with the mindset of reviewing documents, and then—
"Goodnight, my dear family and brothers and sisters of the church.
Sacred City.
We are in dire straits with Sacred City.
I have always believed that this is a test of faith and will.
When we initially began this research, we were full of confidence, thinking it could unravel the predicament and bring new glory to the church.
However, time is the most ruthless judge.
The exploration was fraught with difficulties, and we exerted all our strength to break all shackles.
But losing God, we also lost guidance.
Time is running out!
Failure might be the cross we must bear.
Down here, we will spend our remaining days praying for the church, devoting our faith and loyalty to our beloved brothers and sisters.
At this moment, we feel deeply ashamed.
Dear brothers and sisters of the church, I am proud of your faith, love, and loyalty. Please continue to uphold our shared faith and spread the love within your hearts to the world.
May you always feel loved and sheltered.
Although trapped, my spirit remains with you all.
—Fran Ain."
"Fran... a testament..."
What was left here at the end was the last writings left by someone from the church.
Ronald remembered this name.
From the moment the task of forging a divine personality was accepted, the person led their companions and persisted to the end.
They indeed achieved brilliant results.
The artificial divine persona now in Ronald’s possession was the result of these people’s efforts back in the day.
But unfortunately, they couldn’t break through the final key.
The fusion of the artificial divine persona became a hopeless wall under the end-time trumpet.
And this testament also brought Ronald a new problem—where did the people, or rather the bodies go?
Analyzing the words on the testament.
The casters from the church who created the artificial divine persona should have held their ground here until the last moment.
Before Ronald, there shouldn’t be an empty secret chamber!
"Everyone in the city has disappeared, and even the confidential location under layers of spell protection did not escape."
Ronald suddenly shook his head.
"No! It’s not the time to consider this!"
The disappearance of the church people in Sacred City is indeed important.
But Ronald knows how to prioritise; he should focus more on the immediate goal.
Putting down the testament in his hand, Ronald immediately searched through other document materials.
The findings came quickly.
Right next to the testament were the final research contents of the church casters.
As creators, they had already developed a preliminary idea for the fusion of the artificial divine persona.
The artificial divine persona, adapted from the original script.
This information body with divine nature cannot be perfectly received by human will.
But the original script, as the source material, has the potential to bear this power.
And the original script can be mastered by humans and used without any influences.
Starting from this idea, the casters of the church designed everything well.
But when they attempted to blend the power of the divine persona into the original script, the chasm that led to the failure of the plan stood before them.
— The limitation of the original script’s power.
The birth of the artificial divine persona derived from the original script and simultaneously exceeded the original script.
This act of merging the two is like trying to pour two liters of water into a one-liter cup.
At least, for the church people, this is an unsolvable problem in the short term.
"27."
"Today, the final attempt at original script fusion."
"..."
"No one’s original script, not even the priest’s original script, can bear this power. But from the fusion process analysis, this method is undoubtedly feasible; a homologous original script can be used as a carrier."
"What kind of original script exactly can meet the requirements?"
"If it truly exists in the world, where should we find it..."
Upon seeing this, Ronald put down the scroll in his hand.
He is not a caster specializing in research and cannot possibly deduce more excellent conclusions than the church casters.
Theoretically, the correct way to use this artificial divine persona is this.
"Then let me try it!"
Ronald made an immediate decision.
The past people of Sacred City failed to achieve fusion, but Ronald had a different trump card—Divine Comedy.
The technique for creating the artificial divine persona by the church originated from the plundering of wizards.
That’s an ancient wizard force named the Tranquil Realm School.
And the Divine Comedy in Ronald’s hand is exactly the original script of the Tranquil Realm School!
Considering the spell nature of the Divine Comedy itself...
"In this world, perhaps there’s no more suitable original script than you."
With this said, Ronald opened the iron box again.
Whirr—
The light of the artificial divine persona appeared.
Prepared for this, Ronald wasn’t bewildered by the power this time. He directly activated the original script’s power with his own magic power and connected it to the surface of the artificial divine persona at a special frequency.
Snap.
The contact process was incredibly smooth.
The method researched by the church casters had been verified before, and Ronald rigorously followed the steps to guide the magic power, so naturally, there would be no mistakes.
Magic power contacting, merging, then completely becoming one.
It’s as if a bridge was built between the original script and the artificial divine persona.
It’s like the second law of thermodynamics stated.
The artificial divine persona with more information volume begins to transfer towards the Divine Comedy with less volume.
Under the traction of the force named rules.
The artificial divine persona emitting invisible light actively approaches the original script.
Once contact is made, the artificial divine persona continues to overlay onto the pages, in a gentle and harmless manner akin to a sparrow returning to its nest.
Magic power gathers.
Or rather, the intrinsic layer of information begins to converge in Ronald’s hand.
The original script and artificial divine persona are authentically merging.
Strong power gathers on the pitch-black pages, little by little, eventually... separating.
"..."
"It’s failed."
Ronald exhaled heavily.
He had been tense and almost never took a breath the entire time.
During the fusion, the Divine Comedy exhibited a highly high affinity with the artificial divine persona, even smoother than the church’s experiments.
But unfortunately, the outcome did not change.
After the fusion process unfolded, the artificial divine persona did not continue merging into the original script but was once again squeezed out after Divine Comedy reached its carrying limit.
Just like the church casters who failed before.
The Divine Comedy also cannot bear the power of the artificial divine persona!
The church once created a power that exceeded the expectation of the Tranquil Realm School, to the extent that even the naturally compatible Divine Comedy fell short by a margin.
Faced with the same outcome as the church casters, Ronald was not disheartened.
His gaze was profound, recalling the experiences since crossing over, and immediately a bold idea emerged in his mind:
"No!"
"Perhaps, I have one more thing I can try!"
