*** Brilliant Knight & Great Mage ***

Clunk. Whirl!

When the power was turned on, a hollow metal sphere was activated. A metal brush, which outputted a specific voltage, revolved around the metal sphere, and at the same time, powerful magic energy was generated inside the metal sphere. It was an energy fusion machine, and with the energy created in the metal sphere, the various materials placed nearby the metal sphere began to change.

Crack!

In response to the power released from the metal sphere, a peach tree, placed in front of the fusion machine, started to grow rapidly.

The process itself was very mechanical, but what was created was the purest form and force of nature.

‘Ether is the easiest to collect. The problem is that it deteriorates quickly and is difficult to manage after collection.’

Yongno was currently researching the basic units of energy.

From DIO’s library, Merlin collected all the information related to energy science and built a huge underground research facility to experiment with all the processes that he couldn’t reproduce in his head.

Even though there was a mountain of other work to do, Merlin initiated the research because of an idea that popped into his head when he created his newest No Living World planets, Jupiter and Saturn.

‘But I still don’t get it. This would be a whole lot easier if I knew which direction to take.’

Merlin had made Mercury, Venus, and Earth relatively easily. Of course, if the countless practitioners who had practiced the Golden Pill Immortal Technique heard him, they’d lose their minds and never find their sanity again, but at least, from Yongno’s point of view, the creation of those three planets wasn’t that complex.

However, even Merlin had to use the amplification created by the repulsion between his magic power and internal energy to create Mars, as it was impossible to expand the number of his planets by using the existing Golden Pill Immortal Technique method. And since it was impossible to establish Jupiter solely with his own power, Merlin had utilized the Gold Dragon’s Chintamani Stone.

Since the Chintamani Stone, which Merlin first thought was a copy, was genuine, Merlin was able to create Saturn on top of Jupiter, a result that exceeded his expectations.

‘However, I can’t utilize outside sources of energy anymore to create additional planets. Unless I absorb dozens or hundreds of dragon hearts, it’ll be virtually impossible to create Uranus through energy concentration. No matter how strong I’ve become, it’ll be impossible to concentrate and retain such an absurd level of energy, too.’

Merlin’s creation of Uranus seemed impossible. It seemed like there was absolutely no way to reach another breakthrough. In fact, even the spiritual mechanism currently operating in [Merlin]’s body was an achievement that was revolutionary; the novel mechanism was revolutionary enough to rewrite the traditional understanding of spiritual foundations and structures that was practiced and understood throughout the entire universe. Hence, what more was there to say about the improbability of creating Uranus?

However… nonetheless…

Yongno tried various ideas and constantly experimented. And in the process of trying and testing many different ideas… At one point, he suddenly remembered what Leighann, the great mage who resided in the Magic Tower of Babel, the Holy Land for all mages in DIO, once said.

“One doesn’t have to be a user of internal energy to use internal energy. Neither internal energy nor magic power are the smallest units in the world.”

“The smallest unit in the universe… what is it?”

“Force, Essence, and Ether.”

For those who believed that the smallest unit of energy in the universe was mana, and that all other spiritual powers were different forms and types of how mana was expressed, Leighann’s explanation went against this common sense. However, when Yongno had heard Leighann’s explanation, he felt that, amongst the transcendents, Leighann’s explanation and understanding of energy was probably closer to the truth.

‘In the end, it’s all a matter of proportion. Internal energy, mana, and chakra all use different ratios of energy. Even if the creation process is completely different, in the end, they’re all based on mana.’

Yongno had already figured out the composition of his internal energy and magic power.

In the case of his internal energy, the ratio of Force, Essence, and Ether was 1:4.5:3, and in the case of his magic power, it was 1:3.5:5.

Though Yongno didn’t go further and check the ratios of the other spiritual powers, he was fairly certain that life force would have a higher proportion of Force while aura power would have a higher proportion of Essence.

‘In other words, if one can properly handle and work with Force, Essence, and Ether, which are the basic energies that compose mana, then a mage can use internal energy and a chakra user can use life force. And if that’s the case…’

Merlin mumbled as he started reviewing the simulations in his head.

Originally, these types of simulations required entering various variables into a supercomputer and processing a tremendous amount of information and calculations, but Merlin was able to do these simulations in his head, check what experiments needed to be done in reality, and quickly produce results.

However…

The results that came out were completely unexpected.

The mana in the controlled space began to explosively amplify.

“Eh? What’s going on? Wait, no way…”

Viagra was originally developed as a cardiovascular dilator, but as a side effect, the drug stimulated an important organ. That unexpected side effect caused Viagra to immediately become a superstar drug in the pharmaceutical world.

Similarly… Yongno saw a completely different possibility while studying Force, Ether, and Essence to get a clue on how to further develop planets in his No Living World.

‘Wait, I obviously see the results, but I thought it wasn’t something that could be done unless one was already in the transcendence realm…’

Though a variety of questions popped into Yongno’s mind, he didn’t waste any time pondering these questions.

“I should start experimenting.”

“Though I don’t know what you’re planning to experiment…”

Suddenly, a new voice intervened.

“… It would be nice if you could put off that experiment for a moment.”

When Yongno turned his head to check who the speaker was, Yongno saw a man with a pale complexion standing and staring back at him.

The man with the pale complexion exuded a nonchalant attitude, as if he had been standing there from the beginning, and he didn’t give off any aura. The man possessed a well-proportioned body and was over 2 meters tall. He gave off an air of an undertaker who was calmly standing in front of a hearse.

“Ah… you came. I thought you’d come.”

Even though it was a surprise appearance, Yongno sighed and dusted himself off as he got up. At that natural demeanor, the pale-faced man, who wore leather shoes, a black hat, and a cape grinned.

“What a strange human being. There aren’t many beings who can look at me so calmly.”

The man had the appearance that would commonly conjure up the image of a [Grim Reaper]. He had immaculate skin, as if he had put on makeup, and was currently looking down at Yongno with an upright posture.

Since the time of day was dusk, the time right before the sun would rise, the overwhelming ominous visual would have made an ordinary person’s heart flutter.

“Hmm, that’s unexpected. I thought the Shinigami I met before would appear.”

“Shinigami? Ah, you mean the Executors of Union Law. Based on the Executors active these days, I’d say you’re referring to Ternov, but unfortunately, he doesn’t really possess sensibility, so he isn’t used in negotiations.”

As if the man had no thought of sitting down for a chat, the man remained standing as he reached inside his robe and took out a book. It didn’t seem like an ordinary book, as it emanated a considerable amount of aura. However, nothing within that book was readable.

“So, you’ve come in regard to the dead people?”

When Tan, who ‘was’ the main operator of DIO, tried to move DIO to another solar system after forcefully logging in the majority of earthlings onto DIO, the number of casualties and damage inflicted on Earth from his abrupt action was immense. The casualties numbered in the billions, not millions, so there was no need to say more.

But even so… Earth was currently much noisier and more clamorous about another incident than the vast casualty damage from that forced log in.

“Of course. In fact, we’re kind of at a loss on how to proceed with this situation ourselves. It’s become even more difficult and murky because those damn dragons are playing dumb. Moreover, it’s extremely rare for beings like us, who belong to the Reaper Organization, to come face-to-face with living beings in the material world.”

A large number of people died in the mass forced log in incident. This was a fact.

But at the same time… those people didn’t truly die.

“Yeah, I can see how it’s a mess. It’s been a bit hard for many people to accept that one could die in reality but still be alive in DIO.”

People who experienced their own deaths in real life realized that they existed in DIO, and those who didn’t die also realized this fact.
