Chapter 56 The Way of Equilibrium is Within

In the city of Vagar, rumbling upward steam towers run through the clouds like an alternative steel volcano, spewing out enough mist to envelop the entire city.

Engines roar and gears fly.

The speeding bullets cut through the dark night sky.

Shining magic illuminates the dull stars.

At night, the sound of loud bells echoed within the Steel City, shaking away layers of water and fog and scaring off the mettlesome creatures that hid in the darkness.

At this moment, fifteen hours had already passed since Department Xu had fallen asleep in the meditation chamber.

A feeling of thirst that stems from the body’s instincts.

Let him wake up leisurely.

“I didn’t realize that I slept for so long this time”, opening his eyes, the familiar environment of the meditation room came into view, and Xu System couldn’t help but let out a sigh as he glanced at the mechanical wall clock on the wall.

But it was normal, who made him work nine days and nights at once?

Gollum.

Gollum.

Casually summoning a large mass of fresh water, Xu System rehydrated while moving his slightly stiff body.

Overall, the Xu system was pleased with the results of the sleep.

All but the physical aspects of fatigue are eliminated.

The depressed spirit was also restored.

“It’s time to carry out the next step, after going through so many historical records, I finally have a clue”, Xu Xiang looked back at the corner of the meditation room.

There, on the makeshift magical stone slab, the young girl with long gray-silver hair was still sleeping quietly.

The Xu system walked over.

Check it briefly.

After confirming that Kryssa’s vital status remained unharmed, she returned to her work table with a sense of relief and set her eyes on the stacks of handwritten bullet points.

The text is fine and densely written.

Lists details of the demonic races categorized differently.

It could be said that the current Xu system had reached a very in-depth point in terms of relevant knowledge regarding the demon race.

Some of the obscure, unknown, or mutilated knowledge was also understood and filled in with the help of the two phrases [Observer] and [Mortal Wisdom].

“The name Demon Clan is the definition of humans themselves, and to be more serious, it should actually be called the Ancient Clan or the Original One.”

The meditation room is more empty and secluded at late night.

The Xu system resumed its seat.

From the bottom of one of the many drafts, pull out a fresh sheet of blank paper and write new points on it.

“The claim that the gods created the world is clearly false.”

“If the gods were truly that great, they would not need the faith of a mere human.”

“Therefore, the correct history would be as written in the Biography of the Mage of Reb Gevor, where the world was born out of chaos and the elements gave rise to all things.”

“And the so-called Demons were the first beings of this world.”

“Possessing incredibly powerful physical bodies, gifted with natural abilities gifted by the world, from birth, they have extraordinary strength that surpasses that of other races, and the strongest of them are able to contend with the gods.”

“The only flaw is that the emotions and desires of pure-blooded demons are extremely unstable, causing them to completely cut off mages from the path of cultivation.”

“The only exceptions are those like Kryssa, whose demonic bloodline is not deep while crumbling emotions, who are able to learn magic unaffected by it.”

Steam surged, now and then rushing through the copper top.

It made a snapping, snapping, snapping echo.

Along with it is the delicate and soft rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing the paper rapidly, as if a light wind were sweeping through ten thousand leaves.

Looking at the information he had recorded about the Demon Race, System Xu fell into deep thought, perhaps, the flaws of the Demon Race were not an accident.

The development of things.

Development of the world.

Always follow the most basic laws.

That is, from nothing to something, from chaos to regularity.

When the magic world was first born, even the world itself was crippled, and the so-called Demon Race was actually a manifestation of the world’s disorder.

This is why, the Demons were replaced by the Gods at a later date.

For the gods symbolize orderliness, lawfulness, the embodiment of the functioning of the world order.

“When you look at it that way, the reason for Krysia’s coma is clear.”

The Xu system put down its pen.

Looking at the undried handwriting on the paper, he looked up slightly and let out a sigh as he stared at the dim, lightless ceiling.

It’s neither a disease nor a curse of any kind.

The cause of the witch’s unconsciousness was that the demon bloodline was fighting with the mage’s spiritual power, which represented disorder and order respectively, and were incompatible, unable to spare each other.

In the past, the witch was weak, pitiful and helpless, physically weak and mentally depleted, so naturally she didn’t need to worry about any of this.

But the mutation in Ellenson City, the massive influx of grief and despair, has activated the demon bloodline.

After being promoted to Elite Mage, there was also an unprecedented breakthrough in mental power.

So and so.

Body and spirit, disorder and order, devil and god.

Fate, symbolizing two different paths, battled fiercely within Kryssa’s body, slowing and slowing, so much so that Kryssa, as the owner of the body, repeatedly jumped sideways between two states, unconscious and awake.

Just because it’s not life-threatening now doesn’t mean it won’t be later.

“Difficulty ……”

Fingers gently rubbed the inflamed temples.

The Xu system had a complicated expression.

Although the cause of the coma was understood, it was still a huge problem to solve and how to go about it.

Frankly, this kind of realm involving gods and demons is more or less ahead of its time for an Archmage.

But Kryssa wasn’t really a god or a demon inside her, and the Xu system wasn’t an ordinary archmage, so with the greatness of the word, things had some chance of turning around.

……

[You found out the truth about the witch’s coma]

[Your knowledge of the wizarding world has deepened]

“You’ve seen the truth of the world.

[Excellent performance, keen observation, your observer’s word has been improved somewhat, and the scope of what you can observe has been expanded]

[You begin to think about how to properly and effectively rescue the Witch, for which you envision two methods]

[The first, alone, grows the demonic bloodline or spiritual power, so that it completely devours the other side, and in this way, the witch without opposition will awaken]

[The second, balancing disorder and order, allowing the power of the devil and the gods to coexist within the girl]

[You pondered for a long time and finally chose the second method]

[For a witch, for Krysia Kristina, both body and mind are indispensable, and whichever is missing, she will suffer severely from it, and you can’t bear to see that.]

[Mortal Wisdom in progress …… Observer in progress…]

[You begin to explore the true meaning of equilibrium]

[You are pleased to discover that, unconsciously, Krysia instinctively reconciles the two forces, making them entwined, which is why, her eyes evolve into a rotation of black and gold]

[You made an immediate decision to set up a unique magic formation in the meditation room to suppress Krysia’s demonic bloodline]

[At the same time, igniting the Clear Spirit Herb, awakening the young girl’s cluelessness, allowing her to control her spiritual power, to guide, to dominate, to manipulate the neutralization of the two forces]

[The Way of Balance is in it.]
