Chapter 74: Demonization (Seeking Subscriptions)
“The Golden Pavilion?”
Bai Luo had always been very indulgent with the children who followed him.
For their requests, as long as they weren’t too excessive, Bai Luo generally wouldn’t refuse.
In this aspect, the girls were very sensible and never mentioned things that would put Bai Luo in a difficult position.
The beast-eared girl had just experienced the tragedy of losing her home and family, while the demonically possessed one was abandoned by her family and could only wait silently for death.
Having gone through such experiences, how could they dare to act arrogantly in front of Bai Luo?
On the contrary, the children were very worried about losing their value, so they eagerly wanted to prove themselves to gain Bai Luo’s affection.
“Alright.”
Bai Luo noticed Alpha and the others’ unease: “If you want to do it, then go ahead.”
“Yay!!”
Hearing Bai Luo’s approval of the Golden Seven Pavilion plan, Gamma excitedly shouted, then fell over with a thud, muttering “painful” in her mouth.
“Are you an idiot?”
“How many times has this happened?”
Beta was completely speechless at Gamma’s rashness and strange sense of balance.
“Um, hehe…”
Gama gave a foolish laugh in response; she didn’t know what was happening herself.
Bai Luo had checked her out and found that this was purely due to her personality.
In other words, Gamma’s character lacked developed motor nerves, which was part of her charm and had no significant impact.
Bai Luo helped Gamma up and gently patted the dust off her skirt.
Gama stood there, smiling, fully enjoying the warmth between herself and Bai Luo.
“I, I’m not…”
Alpha tried to argue but under the gaze of Beta and Gamma, the golden-haired Pokémon could only blush and lower her head: “Master Bai Luo is too mean! I’ve worked so hard to establish my authority, and now it’s all gone!”
“Here, I have something to say.”
Bai Luo: “If you encounter trouble outside, remember to tell me, alright?”
“That’s right, I’m talking to you, Alpha-chan!”
After saying this, Bai Luo patted Alpha’s little head.
This girl performed incredibly maturely within the Golden Clan, but in reality, she was deeply concerned about the growth and worth of her clan members.
“I, I understand.”
Alpha said: “I will seriously consider Beta and Gamma’s opinions and won’t act on my own.”
“Good, as long as you understand.”
Bai Luo trusted Alpha quite a bit.
The young girl’s abilities were exceptionally outstanding, enhanced further by the Sacred Domain of Gold, allowing her to quickly unlock the potential of herself and her subordinates within a short period.
If among Bai Luo’s seven kings, who possesses the most leadership qualities, it would undoubtedly be Alpha.
“By the way, I’ve recently been researching magic power and have developed a very strong technique.”
White Luo: “Since you’re here, let me demonstrate it for you.”
“A very strong technique?”
“Let us see, Master Bai Luo!”
The three women first felt slightly puzzled, then looked curiously at Bai Luo.
“Watch closely.”
Bai Luo spoke, raising his right hand and began releasing his magic power.
“Huff!”
Next moment, a cluster of silver-black flames resembling a starry river appeared from his palm.
“First, this is the magic power we usually use.”
“Simple release of magic power is like a flame.”
“Through compression, we can increase the density of magic power, making it more solid.”
Bai Luo: “This kind of practice is embodied in Slime Armament.”
“Sharper Slime Swords, stronger Slime Armor (tight-fitting clothing).”
“Currently, all members of the Golden Clan should be undergoing this kind of training.”
“Yes.”
Alpha nodded: “As per your instructions, Lambda is specifically responsible for this kind of training.”
Within the Golden Clan, only those who can skillfully control the Slime Armament are qualified to carry out missions outside.
According to Bai Luo’s estimation, a girl capable of mastering the Slime Armament can rival the top-tier combatants on the surface of the Shadow World, reaching the B-level standard.
Hmm, speaking of you, the red-haired crown princess of the kingdom.
A force like this is enough to handle non-Round Table Knight sect members and win against them.
Even if the opponent takes certain banned drugs, the girls can successfully escape and ensure their own safety.
And these are just the newly graduated members of the Golden Clan under Lambda’s command.
With subsequent battles, the time needed for magic power growth will shorten, allowing the girls to grow rapidly.
If the average combat strength of the members in the original Shadow Court is B,
Then with the Holy Domain enhancement provided by Alpha and the magic power amplification passed down from Bai Luo, B-level is no longer the endpoint for the girls.
A-level guaranteed, some powerful elites can even reach Special Class.
And as the six people closest to Alpha in the Golden Clan, they even have the hope of breaking through to S-class.
A-class versus armies, Special A destroys cities, S-class annihilates nations.
Although Beta and Gamma haven’t reached the level of destroying nations yet, they are at most close to Special A.
However, with such strength, handling highly ranked Round Table Knights is more than sufficient.
“Lambda is experienced, I trust her greatly.”
Bai Luo had met Lambda and knew she was a girl who placed great importance on military discipline and regarded obeying orders as her duty.
The clan members trained by her would possess discipline and execution ability that wouldn’t fall short compared to professional soldiers.
“But more advanced magic power operations still require personal guidance from Alpha and the rest of you.”
Saying this, Bai Luo’s flames transformed into a starry river.
The three women nearest immediately sensed the change in Bai Luo’s magic power.
If the original magic power merely carried Bai Luo’s personal characteristics, then now it was entirely imbued with Bai Luo’s essence.
Vast star rivers, time flowing, mysterious and profound, mesmerizing.
This was an elevation of magic power.
A positive feedback loop moving from primitive chaos towards order and balance.
Using this kind of magic power, Bai Luo could practically achieve anything imaginable.
Creating matter, simulating rules, physical restoration, memory reconstruction…
Arranging and combining chaotic and unordered magic power in different directions, its possibilities were virtually infinite!
“This color… “
“It’s so beautiful…”
Moreover, Bai Luo’s elevated magic power evoked deep nostalgia in the young girls.
Basking in the glow of the starry river, the three women involuntarily revealed expressions of fascination, as if they saw some enchanting scenery.
Being saved by Bai Luo and having their bodies organized by magic power—
That feeling was nothing short of being reborn.
The joy and relaxation were enough to make these girls remember it forever.
Likewise, basking in Bai Luo’s magic power again, the young women’s aspirations were rekindled, urging them to draw closer.
“Cough, cough!”
Bai Luo lightly coughed, waking the three women who were lost in thought.
“Sorry.”
“Apologies.”
“Ah-woof…”
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, the three girls quickly apologized.
Seeing this, Bai Luo simply smiled faintly, then turned the magic power in his hand into raindrops, sprinkling them onto the three women.
At this moment, the three women only felt their entire bodies refreshed, ridding themselves of the mental and physical fatigue accumulated over this period.
“Ah~~”
“It’s exactly this feeling.”
“Master Bai Luo’s magic power is truly magnificent…”
The girls expressed their admiration, and Bai Luo did not rush them but waited for them to digest the gains from this session.
Yes, the gains.
Bai Luo’s magic power contained much information, enabling the girls to elevate their application of magic power to a higher level.
Of course, Bai Luo did not intend to repeat this process for everyone.
Bathing in his magic power required a certain amount of talent.
Insufficient talent might instead burden the girls, making it counterproductive.
“Thank you for your gift, Master Bai Luo.”
“Have you regained clarity?”
Seeing the three women thanking him, Bai Luo smiled and said: “You can contemplate this when you return later.”
“Now, let me continue explaining my recent discoveries.”
“Hmm.”
The girls sat upright, listening attentively.
This was a private lesson given by Bai Luo exclusively to them—a definite favoritism that must be cherished.
“You should have understood the positive feedback I mentioned earlier.”
Bai Luo: “So next, I will explain the preliminary application of magic power in negative feedback.”
“Negative feedback?”
Hearing this term, Beta asked: “Magic power also has negative feedback?”
Judging from the wording, positive feedback refers to the four stages of compression, micro-control, fission, and fusion.
Then what is negative feedback?
“Could it be?!”
Alpha exclaimed loudly!
She thought of a possibility.
“Ah.”
Bai Luo: “You should be very familiar with the negative feedback of magic power.”
“Demonic Possession?!?”
And with Alpha’s reminder, Beta and Gamma also realized the truth behind the so-called negative feedback—the so-called negative feedback is letting the already chaotic magic power revert back to complete chaos!
“Though mentioning this might cause you pain,”
Bai Luo: “It cannot be denied that demonic possession indeed hides extremely terrifying power.”
“But, the state of demonic possession…”
Beta said: “In that state, even if you gain strength, shouldn’t you have to pay a heavy price?”
“The distortion during demonic possession is a form of erroneous negative feedback.”
“Of course, I would never let you undergo such a dangerous attempt.”
Bai Luo continued, opening his attribute list: “Rest assured, what I’m going to teach you next is definitely not something as unsightly as distortion.”
[Bai Luo]
Gender: Male
Age: 16/Immeasurable
Skills: King’s Authority (SR), Magic Power Growth (SR+1), Magic Power Manipulation (SR+3)
Items Held: 9 N Enhancement Cards, 2 R Enhancement Cards
Overall Evaluation: Six-digit Number (Mid-phase)
After half a month of sign-ins, Bai Luo’s luck wasn’t great, and he didn’t obtain any new SR Enhancement Cards.
However, the twenty R cards were synthesized into an SR card.
This allowed Bai Luo’s evaluation to successfully rise to the mid-six-digit phase.
Supported by magic power fusion, Bai Luo could utilize the End Power within the King’s Authority to instantly ignite a star.
Bai Luo tested this in the arena of the chat group.
That power was akin to manually creating a black hole that devours everything.
Wherever it passed, time warped, space collapsed, whether energy or dark matter, all vanished under Bai Luo’s End Power.
Esdeath, who accompanied Bai Luo during the test, was undoubtedly shocked upon witnessing this scene.
God-like power!
This was Esdeath’s evaluation of Bai Luo’s strength.
Of course, Ice Queen’s desire for power reached its peak, and she no longer had any reservations about becoming Bai Luo’s subordinate.
Following the strong, obeying the strong, and then becoming as powerful as the other party.
Only fools would refuse, right?
Bai Luo told the three women his true strength.
Becoming Bai Luo’s prince consort and clan member meant a high degree of binding with him.
The children in the ancient capital would not betray Bai Luo and couldn’t harm him.
Therefore, revealing his true stature to those closest to him would help them make better judgments and avoid unnecessary mental exhaustion.
“Six-digit, mid-phase…”
However, Beta and Gamma were quite perplexed.
They, who hadn’t yet broken through to the seven-digit mark, didn’t fully grasp what this evaluation implied.
Only Alpha, the Queen of Gold, knew how vast the gap was between them and Bai Luo.
“What is this…”
Alpha didn’t know how to describe it and could only exclaim inwardly: “Master Bai Luo is invincible!!!”
“The power I’ve uncovered from magic power is more like a state, or perhaps a transformation.”
Not minding the girls’ astonishment, Bai Luo continued his explanation.
Just like Saiyans transforming into Super Saiyans, through certain means, reversing the nature of magic power in a short time can result in dozens or even hundreds of times enhancement.
“This!”
Hearing Bai Luo’s explanation, the three women immediately showed expressions of shock: “Can magic power be used this way?”
Talking about it, how did someone develop such a method?
Knowing that reversing the properties of one’s own magic power could, at the very least, lead to bodily collapse.
In more severe cases, turning into a Cthulhu-like monster was entirely possible.
Yet Bai Luo?
He not only solved the impact of magic power reversal on the body but also found a new way to utilize it.
“Now, watch carefully.”
“This is the result of millions of experiments conducted in the consciousness space through meditation over the past half month!”
After speaking, Bai Luo stopped explaining and directly demonstrated for the three women.
Seen the originally silver-black magic power quickly shifting toward a fiery gold hue.
Momentarily, wild, brutal, and destructive magic power surged forth!
Such pressure, even Alpha who had just broken through to the mid-seven-digit stage, felt a strong sense of impending doom in her heart.
“Is this?!”
Alpha looked at Beta and Gamma beside her and noticed the two girls trembling uncontrollably.
The shadow of death enveloped their minds, leaving their brains blank, even making instinctive escape impossible.
“Bang!”
Bai Luo didn’t stop but tightly clenched this fiery gold magic power in his hand.
Next moment, Bai Luo’s originally normal eyes were replaced by a pitch-black abyss.
[Bai Luo]
Gender: Male
Age: 16/Immeasurable
Skills: King’s Authority (SR), Magic Power Growth (SR+1), Magic Power Manipulation (SR+3)
Items Held: 9 N Enhancement Cards, 2 R Enhancement Cards
Status: Demonized (14 59)
Overall Evaluation: Six-digit Number (Late Phase)
There was no change in skill levels, but there was an additional status prompt in the attribute panel.
Looking at the overall evaluation, it directly jumped from the mid-six-digit phase to the late-six-digit phase!
Remember, this is a phase upgrade within the six-digit stage.
Early phase to mid-phase, mid-phase to late phase.
Each breakthrough represents a difference of millions of times.
And now, merely changing the state had enabled Bai Luo to break through another layer of constraints, reaching a higher realm.
Without relying on enhancement cards, purely through Bai Luo’s own research and exploration.
Developing stronger power based on existing attributes.
Demonization!
Here, the “demon” does not refer to demons but to magic power.
What is called demonization is the fusion with magic power, truly inheriting the primordial force originating from the birth of the Shadow World.
Previously mentioned, the magic power of the Shadow Realm differs from the normal magical elements in Western fantasy.
It is more violent and dangerous.
The chat group defines it as primal magic power, calling the method of controlling this force “Wanxiang Derivation.”
When the two merge, they can reach the end of the Shadow World—Chaos!
