Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 148 The Mad Genius

Apas scratched his head somewhat ashamed as he said this. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and stealing from his own family was indeed a bit embarrassing. But he still forced himself to continue: "I used a spatial ring and spatial magic to steal all the magic crystals stored by the royal family and took them to my laboratory outside. Then, with a huge supply of magic power and my already honed precise control over magic power, I succeeded!"

That day, the volume of the elementary particles that unfolded enveloped our enormous planet. I was so excited, but my plan didn't stop there! On my academic journey, I also learned something new: the runes of the dwarves. They were truly the perfect weapons bestowed upon us by the gods to control nature. So my great experiment continued. I used magic to engrave all the runes I knew into that beautiful, transparent light screen.

Immediately afterwards, I kept a dominion rune that controlled the other runes in my hand, and then restored the spatial structure that had been restored by the elementary particles to its original state. The result... unexpectedly, those runes were still running!

Do you know what this means?! Do you know how excited I was when I could use the Domination Rune to manipulate the elements of nature at will?!

Then, I excitedly brought my research results to my brother, the current Elf King, but he actually locked me up, thinking I was insane! Just when I was utterly disillusioned with the Elf race after three months of imprisonment, my brother suddenly changed his mind and began funding my experiments. So we joined forces and poured all our resources into creating a batch of spirit particles, and then used my first-generation spirit particles to subdue Xiscana. At this point, our plan finally got on track.

Agreed asked with some doubt, "According to you, it seems that Hisscana did not stop you from developing a new magic system at all, right? And I remember now, it turns out that the 'transparent dome' that everyone was astonished by back then, thinking it was an astronomical phenomenon, was your doing! You created your spiritual particles a long time ago, why bother provoking a demigod?"

Apas explained, “Because the energy and resources required to create a single spirit particle are simply too enormous. Even if the Elf Kingdom were to exhaust all its treasures accumulated over the years, according to my calculations, it could only create two more spirit particles. Therefore, we need a powerful energy supply container, and Xiscana is the best choice.”

Agreed exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, you're extracting the power of Hisscana and using it as a basis to create spirit particles!"

Apas nodded and replied, "Yes, but the Siscana is not the key to this plan. The real key to this plan is to give the spirit particles consciousness and life so that they can control them freely without runes."

Heya interrupted him and asked, "Speaking of which, I've always been curious why you call spirit particles 'nature spirits' and I can clearly sense that they have...emotions."

Apas laughed smugly, "This is the brilliance of my invention. I placed an elf inside a spirit particle that has not yet been restored, and used special spatial magic to ensure that it would not be killed by the compression of space. At the same time, the elf inside controlled the spirit particle to make it truly become a 'life'!"

"That's why they're so...lonely!" Heya suddenly realized and shouted excitedly, "You actually experimented on the lives of your own kind! You damned madwoman, do you know how desperate their lives are?!" As she spoke, Heya rushed forward to kill Apas, but Agreed immediately stopped her and asked Apas a question.

"Your idea is interesting. To be honest, spirit particles are very powerful, but I'd like to ask how spirits trapped inside them can survive and move?"

Apas laughed maniacally: "That's a very good question. The movement of elementary particles is completely different from what you understand. They only need a tiny bit of energy to appear in any corner of this planet at near the speed of light. Spirit particles can let us know everything that happens on this planet, and at the same time help us control everything on this planet!"

Can you imagine? In the future, when spirit particles permeate the entire astral plane, our elven brethren will only need to communicate with and cultivate relationships with them to instantly unleash various spells and gain near-omnipotent perception. In time, we will become gods of the universe!

As for the survival of spirit particles, well, elves are different from other lower-level creatures. They can sustain themselves by drawing energy from the universe using runes, and because they have become microscopic beings, their lifespan will be greatly extended, almost infinite. At least I can't calculate how long they can live right now.

Agreed continued, "Were those elves there voluntarily?"

Apas thought for a moment and said, "You'd have to ask my brother, who became the Elf King. He's the one who found the people. I just told him what I needed. Who knows? Anyway, I don't care."

Heya roared, "Have you no humanity?! Do you know the suffering they endured living in that cramped and empty world?!"

Agreed reassured her, "Alright, Heya, calm down. They must have done it voluntarily. Otherwise, the control of the spirit particles would be entirely in the hands of those shrunken elves. If they hadn't done it voluntarily, they could have used this power to take revenge on the elves."

After much persuasion, Agreed finally calmed Hea down. Agreed then looked at Apas and with a wave of his hand, the elementary particle appeared in his hand. In an instant, the particle expanded and enveloped the entire moon. Apas looked at this scene in surprise and said, "You... are actually a master of spatial magic!"

Agreed ignored him and began to inscribe runes in the space on his own. Apas was instantly captivated by Agreed's skillful technique and the obscure and advanced script.

Apas took out a book, opened it, and said, "These runes, yes, they are all recorded in this book. They are the most advanced ancient runes. You actually know how to engrave them!"

When Agreed saw the book that Apas pulled out, he was so shocked that he almost wrote the wrong rune in his hand, because the book he was holding was the enchanting encyclopedia that he had given to the dwarves!

Agreed demanded of Apas, "Where did you get this book?"

Apas pointed to the encyclopedia in his hand and said, "Ah, you mean this? I traded a cartload of fine wine for it from a dwarf master. You've seen it too?"

Agreed scoffed, "I've not only read it, but I wrote this book and gave it as a gift to all the dwarven master blacksmiths." At the same time, Agreed couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it, they took my hard work to exchange for wine. You dwarves are something else."
