Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Holy City Investigation, The Birth of Fusion
The Egyptian higher-ups knew Lu Jun quite well.
Not long after the World College Tournament ended two years ago, he had traveled across Africa and clashed with the Medusa race, causing massive chaos. More than twenty Monarchs were mobilized, North Africa was shaken, and even Cairo, Egypt suffered from the aftermath of the war, sustaining enormous losses.
At that time, they had not dared provoke either side.
Now, Lu Jun had even participated in a battle that slew an Emperor. Although there was suspicion that the Nine Provinces had exaggerated the matter, his strength still could not be ignored, making them even less willing to offend him rashly.
Yisen suddenly spoke, casually saying,
"Do you know about the disturbance at the Pyramid of Khufu some time ago? The First Pharaoh Khufu invaded the Ancient Capital of the Nine Provinces and was repelled. Sphinx died, and the Evil Child died as well."
The moment those words were spoken, the other four were shocked and all looked toward him.
They were well aware that the Fifth Leader Yisen colluded with demons. They simply turned a blind eye, small nations needed additional escape routes.
Now, Yisen possessed the most up-to-date information regarding demons.
After all, the Pyramid undead and the Medusa race were allies, with information constantly exchanged between them.
After a moment of silence, someone said,
"It seems Lu Jun truly cannot be ignored. Even the undead and the Medusa race could do nothing against him."
The Egyptian higher-ups still had some self-awareness.
If they couldn’t defeat the undead and Medusa race, then how could they possibly deal with Lu Jun?
Afterward, Yisen added,"They’re only Star Dust Magic Tools. The profits are average, and the strategic importance isn’t too high. The real key lies in the manufacturing of Star Cloud Magic Tools and Star River Magic Tools."
The short elderly man was about to say something when a secretary hurriedly knocked on the door and entered, whispering into his ear.
Immediately, he waved for the secretary to leave and sighed.
"Forget it. The South Africa Magic Association sent word, saying we shouldn’t resort to force lightly."
The five present all shook their heads, reaching a unified conclusion, it was unwise to provoke Lu Jun.
"Let’s leave it at that," Haken said with little interest. "We’ll focus mainly on commercial suppression, trying our best to strike the internal sales within the Nine Provinces. We don’t need to force the issue, but we absolutely cannot allow the Nine Provinces’ Star Dust Magic Tools to be sold internationally. We must do everything possible to strangle any breakthroughs in Star Cloud and Star River Magic Tool manufacturing."
He sneered,"If those academies and great clans in the Nine Provinces dare violate their contracts, then don’t sell Star Cloud Magic Tools or Star River Magic Tools to them anymore."
Several people nodded.
Since military action was temporarily impossible, they would play the sanction game instead.
Yisen said nothing further, merely pondering when Lu Jun had established ties with the Cape of Good Hope Intercontinental Magic Association.
Egypt’s withdrawal, in the end, was because the matter had not yet touched their most fundamental interests.
For now, they would wait and observe.
Meanwhile, at the Asian Magic Association’s Dubai Tower.
Su Lu received news that Lu Jun’s Military Strategy Palace in the Nine Provinces had manufactured Star Dust Magic Tools. His expression darkened as he coldly snorted,
"The national strength of the Nine Provinces really is growing stronger and stronger."
"Forget it. I don’t have time to interfere right now. Once I consolidate the Magic Association’s authority, I’ll deal with it then. I’ll definitely force the Nine Provinces to publicly reveal the manufacturing methods for Star Dust Magic Tools."
At this moment, Su Lu’s gaze was icy as he lowered his head toward a map covered in complicated patterns, circling the Tyrant Mountains.
It was clearly a super magic formation.
He pondered silently.
At present, the most important matter was enslaving the Black Dragon Emperor. After two years, he had finally gathered enough hearts to deploy the formation.
"Soon, soon very soon I’ll become the true Emperor of Asia."
Finally, the Holy City.
A woman gazed toward the distant Alps before turning back and instructing a mixed-blood middle-aged man.
"The Ancient Capital of that ancient Eastern nation nurtured many great empires. The very first dynasty was called Qin, and its significance is extraordinary."
"Recently, the Undead Emperor Qin Shi Huang openly moved about and stole the Parthenon’s Divine Soul, causing fear among the people of the Western world and shaking their faith. As a result, the Titan race has become increasingly rampant lately. We must intervene."
The mixed-blood middle-aged man, Ke Ye, nodded.
"No problem, boss."
"The Undead Emperor leaving his territory without authorization, the secrets hidden within the Ancient Capital, these are things the Holy City cannot ignore. After some time, you’ll head to the Ancient Capital to investigate."
Hearing this, Ke Ye forced a bitter smile and sighed as he agreed.
The Ancient King was not someone easy to provoke.
Even as a Forbidden Curse mage, he feared him deeply.
At the same time, he understood the implication behind his superior’s words.
The Parthenon could no longer safeguard the healing Divine Soul.
Then the Holy City would take control of it instead.
If they found it, it would belong to the Holy City.
Ke Ye pondered this, inwardly alarmed.
He felt this mission was definitely not simple.
Their organization was rarely mobilized lightly. For such an operation to occur, it must have been ordered by one of the Archangels.
Which Archangel intended to reveal their true name this time?
"Oh, right." The woman added, "What do you think of this Lu Jun? According to the information, everything appears normal, but I feel something is wrong. Someone capable of participating in an Emperor-level battle? And he just so happens to be in the Ancient Capital as well. If you get the chance, investigate him too."
At those words, Ke Ye was startled. He immediately stopped his wandering thoughts and nodded.
"I understand. Easy enough."
"And one more thing..." The woman seemed aware that the number of tasks was becoming excessive, yet she still coldly continued, "That Ice Element Calamity mage exiled to Tianshan ten years ago, the matter has calmed down for long enough. Deal with them while you’re at it. Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots."
"Yes!"
Ke Ye was already accustomed to it.
That organization was just like this, operating in the shadows, acting without restraint.
He sorted out the three objectives of this trip, ranked by importance.
The latter two were not dangerous, merely troublesome, with enormous implications involved.
As expected, the woman sternly warned,
"You know the principles of our Holy Shadow Organization. If anything is exposed, then it will be as though there was never such a person as you."
At the same time, various forces were making moves.
The Magic Associations of the Five Continents, as well as America, Greece, Britain, and others, all turned their attention toward the Nine Provinces.
At this very moment.
In the Ancient Capital, Lu Jun was observing inside Feng Zhoulong’s laboratory.
Old Feng took out a pair of gloves and excitedly said,
"Fusion Magic is complete. The first experimental product has been refined. These gloves can store one magic spell, then release another one, causing the two to fuse perfectly."
Seeing this, a strange light appeared in Lu Jun’s eyes.
Although it was still far from the concept of all laws merging into one that he had envisioned, the first stage of fusion had finally been achieved.
In other words, it was similar to Mo Fan’s crude prototype from the original timeline, except it had appeared much earlier.
He was not polite at all and immediately put the gloves on.
Feng Zhoulong explained,
"You’ll first use external tools to adapt to Fusion Magic. Once you become proficient, you’ll gradually be able to separate from the Fusion Gloves’ assistance and cast Fusion Magic on your own."
"In the end, I’ll extract fusion substances from the Artisan and the Four-Colored Demon, allowing all your Magic Elements to merge into one."
Lu Jun praised,
"Excellent. The magic world is about to enter its next magical revolution."
Immediately afterward, he eagerly began testing the effects of Fusion Magic.
However, Lu Jun possessed too many Magic Elements and dozens of abilities, capable of evolving into hundreds or even thousands of combinations.
For a moment, he did not know which two Elements to test first.
After pondering for a while, he decided to begin with the Life Element and Death Element, the two most incompatible Elements.
He carried a certain expectation in his heart.
If Life and Death fused, if life and death became one would that be the shortcut to immortality?!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lu Jun did not hesitate.
With a thought, Star Paths intertwined.
The Life Element Beginner Spell, Healing Light, and the Death Element Beginner Spell, Undead Revival, were released one after another.
The speed was so extreme that there was almost no visible distinction between them, as though both had appeared simultaneously.
In his right hand was a gentle milky-white sphere of light, with a trace of emerald green flowing within.
In his left hand was a pitch-black sphere of deathly silence, with strands of gray intent coiling at its core.
The two should have opposed each other like mortal enemies, yet under the assistance of the Fusion Gloves, they slowly began to merge together.
