Mages Are Too OP (WN)-Chapter 770: Evolution

Although he could leave immediately after the transfer order was passed, he had to give instructions to his team.

After all, a lot of experiments had to be put on hold while he was away. It took him a day to deal with these trivial matters and he didn’t set off until the second day.

His virtual cabin was also moved with him. The airliner didn’t want to transport the big bunk, but the base talked to the airliner and convinced them to help with the relocation.

Then, only half a day later, Roland arrived at a certain space base at the center of the country.

He was warmly welcomed.

Then, a party was prepared for him. Someone also helped Roland set up the virtual cabin and connect it to the Internet.

After a night of rest, Roland was taken to a large warehouse in the early morning.

A lot of custom building materials were in the warehouse.

Many unused molds were put aside too.

“Greetings, Comrade Huang.” A middle-aged man with a tablet walked toward Roland and shook hands with him. Then he said, “Our superior has told us about you. Now, would you please run a raw material transformation test for us?”

Roland was here exactly for that purpose. He nodded and said, “Not a problem.”

“We’ve prepared more than ten kinds of mud with different density, quality, and stickiness.” He raised his hand and waved, and a worker soon pushed a trolley of molds toward Roland. “We’ve prepared three molds for each kind of mud. There are 48 molds in total. We need enough samples for our tests. Sorry for the trouble.”

Three men approached and soon set up high-speed cameras.

Roland raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that those eyes didn’t trust him.

Were they scared that he was a fraud?

But that was understandable. What happened to Roland was so uncanny that nobody would believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.

After all, there was no record of anything similar.

Also, Roland didn’t think that they were all the people who were watching him. There were several security cameras in the warehouse that must’ve been set up to prevent anyone from stealing the goods, but Roland had no doubt that many bosses were observing him through the cameras at this moment.

Of course, Roland wasn’t bothered by that. He looked at the mud that was in different hues of yellowness and contained in piles of molds in the trolley and asked, “Can I begin?” “Yes. Do you need us to unload the molds for you first?” asked the middle-aged man.

Roland shook his head.

He snapped his finger and surrounded the molds with bright yellow magic power.

Many people’s eyes almost popped out after seeing the magic energy that appeared out of nowhere. Someone even wanted to touch it to confirm that he wasn’t hallucinating.

Then, one of his colleagues instantly grabbed his hand and shook head.

After that, the man backed off.

After a dozen seconds, the yellow light was gone.

Roland said, “Done.”

The middle-aged director instantly grabbed a random mold and smashed it to the ground.

The mold, made of fragile materials, was easily broken, revealing the inside that had been solidified into a tiny stone.

It was bright yellow, extremely smooth, and even reflected the light.

He tried knocking it on the floor, and the stone let out noises of collision.

It was very hard.

The middle-aged director hit it even harder.

Even the cement floor was cracking, yet the stone pillar was absolutely fine. He wiped off the dust at the point of impact, and the stone didn’t have a single scratch.

It was obviously very sturdy. Some other people also came close and tried the parts after breaking their molds, only to find that they were surprisingly hard. The middle-aged man said in delight, “Comrade Huang, we’re going to measure those samples. Thank you for your trouble.” “You’re welcome.”

The middle-aged man escorted Roland back to his temporary dormitory and then left quickly after saying goodbye.

They were not snubbing Roland because he was no longer needed, but because they were really interested in the stone parts.

The comprehensive and authoritative test took several days.

Roland spent almost all this time in his dormitory.

After all, this was also a classified base where he couldn’t wander about freely.

A few days later, the test result was out.

An emergency meeting was convened. Almost all the bigshots and important researchers in the base were summoned. The old man who transferred Roland here said from the podium, “The data of most tests are very satisfying. All the indicators of the building materials made of the mud with additional materials are better than what we had before. Sample No.9 and Sample No.18, in particular, have extraordinarily high comprehensive statistics. Their only shortcoming is heat conductivity. They’re 5% higher than the slab of the lowest heat conductivity.”

Hearing that, all the meeting participants smiled.

The stone slabs had low heat conductivity in the first place. A 5% increase from the lowest heat conductivity was insignificant.

“Therefore, the stone slabs and strips can completely replace the materials we had,” said the old man. “Now, if you agree that such materials should be used to make the external walls of the moon base, raise your hand.”

Everybody raised their hands.

“Then it’s settled.” The old man made the decision. “We’ll start building the molds tomorrow. Comrade Huang can only stay for a limited amount of time with us.”

“Mr. Xu, can you keep him with us?” shouted a researcher. “Eggs can only keep us full for now. Wouldn’t it be greater if we stole the hen that lays them?”

The old man smiled from the podium. “He has his own research project that’s as important as ours. Who do you think invented the Huang Nutrient that you eat now and then?”

All the researchers were smart enough to realize his implication.

That was very impressive… They didn’t know that it was this young man’s work. The next day, Roland became a material-making tool to those people.

Because he didn’t carry the crystal stick, he couldn’t get magic elements from it and could only use Magic Power Transformation.

Basically, the magic elements that he created every day would be drained on the same day.

In no more than ten days, Roland was already getting slimmer… Just kidding. He simply had dark eye bags. In reality, he became a building material producer, and in the game, the infrastructure on the floating city was completed as time went by.

Based on the blueprints that Roland retrieved from the base, the architects and sculptors of Fareins did their work creatively.

The military-styled buildings on the blueprints were reshaped into city gardens, or air gardens.

Also, the convenience of the other buildings wasn’t affected at all.

Roland was quite happy to see that.

Everybody wanted their home to look beautiful without losing its functions and convenience.

Roland was quite satisfied with the infrastructure of the floating city. He voluntarily offered a lot of bonuses to the architects and sculptors.

Some of them accepted the bonus, but most didn’t. Eventually, it was a fat, bearded architect who had dwarf bloodlines who said, “Mr. Roland, can you let us live here permanently?”

They had all realized how convenient the floating city was.

It had three teleportation arrays, one to Wetland City in Hollevin, one to the Capital Square of Fareins, and the last one to the royal palace of Fareins.

Of course, the last one was reserved for Roland and Stephanie.

However, the workers were free to use the first two.

They had used the two teleportation arrays a lot during the construction in the previous half year.

It was needless to mention the capital of Fareins, which was their home.

Wetland City, a city that they heard a lot about, gave them a lot of surprises too.

In fact, as more and more teleportation arrays were established in the world, transportation would be easier and easier.

The flying mounts were faced with great competitive pressure.

However, the floating city was still very important. It was safe!

In the main plane, the floating city was one of the greatest weapons. Also, if they lived in the city, they could proudly call themselves Citizens of the Sky.

With that in mind, they asked Roland to give them a place to stay in.

After all, the city was built by them and their disciples. The living areas in it could accommodate more than a hundred thousand people.

Roland thought for a moment and said, “Personally, I’m happy to let you stay, but it remains unknown if you’ll be allowed to leave Fareins. Besides, I’ll spend a lot of time in the Astral Plane later, which won’t be safe. So, why don’t you tell your opinion to Stephanie first, so that she and I can make a decision after I return from the Astral Plane?”

This was a good point. Those people were willing to wait, but the royal family of Fareins might not want to let them go.

All these masters were talents that had been kept for generations. Even their disciples were top experts in architecture and carpentry.

Under normal circumstances, no country would let such a batch of talents go abroad.

Those masters all sighed and left one after another.

After confirming that the floating city was empty, Roland flew it to the heights.

He flew higher above the clouds and reached the border between the Astral Plane and the main plane.

Above his head was a dark sky, and below him was a stretch of clouds that looked like white fungi.

Roland teleported himself to the Magic Grid Core and looked at the connected magic power bricks. After examining them and confirming their functionality, he took the Brutalization Divine Spark out of the system Backpack. To be honest, Roland didn’t like the Divine Spark. He knew what brutalization meant very well.

The Divine Spark appeared and glowed in Roland’s hand.

Then, the Magic Grid Core began to shiver, as if it was trying to vibrate at the same frequency as the Brutalization Divine Spark did in order to absorb it.

Without any hesitation, Roland connected himself to the Magic Grid Core. When he was emitting greenness all over, he threw the fragment of the Brutalization Divine Spark into the core without hesitation.

The white ball of energy instantly melted like snow in boiling oil.

Roland sensed something additional in his mental world.

Because he was connected to the Magic Grid Core, throwing something to the Magic Grid Core was no different from throwing it into his brain.

The Divine Spark fragment melted into streams of energy, and a lot of intermittent memory pieces were separated.

Some of them belonged to Abak, and some belonged to others. They were probably the collective memories of the former Gods of Brutalization.

The memories overlapped each other. They were quite nauseating.

Looking at those images, one would subconsciously think that they were part of their memories, but then their intellect would tell them that they weren’t.

The conflict could easily result in sickness and disorientation.

So, Roland tried to stop himself from peeking at those memories, yet they voluntarily came to him.

On the other hand, the Divine Spark was essentially a collection of human subconsciousness and emotions.

Therefore, the Brutalization Divine Spark was basically full of blood and gore.

Also, those memories had a clear purpose, which was to reside inside the soul of an intelligent creature, probably because only intelligent creatures had complex emotions.

Although it was only one-third of the original Divine Spark, the memories in it were still overwhelming.

Roland was very strong at this moment. Also, his willpower was surprisingly high after he was connected to the Magic Grid Core. However, the problem was that he had never really practiced any soul magic.

So, he was caught with a serious problem… He could not block or assimilate the memories or broken souls in the Divine Spark piece.

A myriad of souls appeared in Roland’s mental world.

There were souls in the sky and on the ground.

The broken memories and souls almost crammed the entire world.

Roland, on the other hand, was like a poor guy on a crowded metro and couldn’t move at all.

What should he do?

Roland’s soul let out a weak and helpless cry.

If it went on like this, he would be squished by the unowned memories sooner or later.

While he was at a loss about what to do, the land of his mind fell apart and a huge chasm appeared.

A bright ball of light surfaced from the depths of his soul.

The ball emitted a warm brilliance and generated a weird attraction force. It first absorbed the souls in the sky.

It then absorbed the souls on the ground.

Roland watched the ball of light in shock and finally remembered what it was.

It was his virtual Divine Spark.

He had mostly used it as a soul connector between him and Anna. He never used it on other occasions, so he almost forgot that he had such a fancy weapon.

Looking at the souls that had been compressed into black pearls inside the light ball, Roland instantly felt uncomfortable.

After all, everybody was more or less a victim to trypophobia.

Then, his consciousness was ejected from the soul world.

The Magic Grid Core in front of his eyes glowed and dimmed like a beating heart.

Then, Roland received two system notifications.

“The Magic Grid Core is swallowing divine energy. The result is unknown. Countdown: 23:58:11.”

“Your virtual Divine Spark is converting to the Brutalization Divine Spark. 71:58:11 to go until the fully successful conversion.”

He was turning into a God of Brutalization?

Wait, he wasn’t even a Demigod yet!
