Chapter 394: The Crown Staff
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Watson stood amidst the crisscrossed lines of the divine kingdom. The dancing Threads of Destiny wrapped around each of the Sword Saint’s disciples, giving the illusion that he was the creator of order. With just a thought, he could control the fates of those people.
He could even control Reid and Antonio to a certain extent when their bodies were connected to the threads.
“That is the true ability of that starlight-tier weapon. It is comparable to the power of the Divine Kingdom.” Countless threads of destiny were attached to Reid’s arms and body. Those threads controlled his arms to move spontaneously, and to fight against that power, a similarly powerful sword aura emerged from Reid’s body to form the Kingdom of the Sword.
The giant sword-shaped kingdom that shot into the sky and the divine kingdom that covered the entire courtyard was formed from countless entangled fishing threads. Sparks of divine light were produced from the friction; Reid could barely remain still.
The Thread of Destiny was formed by the rules.. Ordinary people could not cut it off or even touch it. Only people at Reid’s level could fight against the Thread of Destiny. However, Reid could only cut off the thread, but he could not stop its rapid regeneration.
Antonio, who was next to Reid, was not so lucky. He could not control the diamond-tier divine kingdom. His posture was comical as he danced like a monkey.
“Watson, you just said you would not use me as a demonstration! Why did you let me do a demonstration again? Why aren’t you stopping that?”
Antonio did not have a beard, or else he would have had an angry expression as he shouted at Watson, who was hovering in the sky.
“I’m sorry, Master Antonio. I accidentally let you do another demonstration.”
Watson scratched his head and stopped that ability. The lines that filled the sky disappeared, and everyone returned to their original state. The feeling of being controlled disappeared, but they still had lingering fear on their faces. They subconsciously distanced themselves from Watson.
They never expected Watson would be able to control their bodies even though he had fused a starlight-tier weapon. That was too terrifying. Did that mean that they could even kill each other if Watson wanted them to do that? They would rather be killed in battle because of their inferior skills than die at the hands of their companions.
“Watson, is that the weapon’s full abilities?” Reid patted his body and looked at Watson with interest after realizing that the Thread of Destiny had completely disappeared. There were not many things in that world that could interest him. Even though the Thread of Destiny that Watson had fused was somewhat different from what he had imagined, he was still very satisfied with its powerful effect.
After all, that Thread of Destiny could fight against the Kingdom of the Swords by itself. Once he mastered the other combination of abilities, it would increase his strength by several times fold.
“Reid, is not the power displayed by Watson satisfying you? Don’t talk nonsense here. If you don’t want that starlight-tier weapon, then give it to that old man.”
Antonio panicked when he realized that Reid wanted to urge Watson to display the weapon’s other abilities. Watson might use him as a demonstration again. In addition, he was very envious of that weapon. He immediately rejected Reid’s request.
“Antonio, Watson fused that weapon for me. What does it have to do with you? Go away, go away. Who said I don’t want that weapon? I do want it.”
Reid waved his hand at Antonio and came in front of Watson. He grabbed the Thread of Destiny in his hand and revealed a proud expression. “With this weapon, it’s not a problem for me to become the number one person just beneath the starlight tier. Furthermore, the rules contained in this weapon are exceptional. It’s something I’ve never seen before. If I study it, I might be able to break through to starlight-tier .”
Advancing to starlight-tier a star meant becoming a god. Reid was only at diamond-tier. There was still a world of difference between that and the starlight tier. With Reid’s strength, even the weakest starlight-tier elite might not be a match for him.
“Watson, there are still 12 holy relics left. You have just fused a powerful holy relic for Reid. Next, you have to fuse one for me. We are both your masters. Watson, you can’t favor one over the other! My requirements are not high. I just need a weapon that is more powerful than the one in Reid’s hand.”
Antonio looked at the Thread of Destiny in Reid’s hands. His eyes were red with envy. He had no choice but to turn to look at Watson.
It was better than the weapon in Reid’s hands. Was that a high requirement?
Watson smiled bitterly at Antonio’s request. However, he knew that Antonio was a person who cared about his dignity. If he disagreed, Antonio would definitely go on and on. He had no choice but to nod. “Master, I can’t guarantee that these items will be more powerful than the Thread of Destiny. I can only say that I’ll try my best. There’s one more thing. I need to use your staff to fuse the weapon.”
“What do you need my staff for? Don’t tell me you’re going to fuse that staff too?”
Antonio tightened the wooden cane in his hand. That cane was a diamond-tier World Tree staff that Watson had fused on Mount Creation. The name of the person whom Antonio missed was engraved on that stick. On the surface, Antonio did not seem to care much about that stick, but he treasured it very much.
After all, that walking stick not only symbolized his longing for someone, but it was also the first time Watson had given him a decent gift. It had an incomparable symbolic meaning.
“Don’t worry, Master. I won’t damage that staff. I’ll just modify it to make it stronger.”
“Antonio, since you’re so reluctant to give up the diamond-tier staff in your hand, don’t ask for another weapon! In my opinion, a diamond-tier staff is already good enough for you. With your current strength, using a higher-tier staff would be a waste. I feel that the Thread of Destiny still has a small flaw. Why don’t we let Watson fuse the remaining holy relics with it?” Reid said.
Antonio got angry immediately. “Reid, that is none of your business. Take your weapon and move to the side! You already obtained a starlight-tier weapon, yet you are still not satisfied. You can’t be too greedy!”
As he spoke, Antonio had clearly made up his mind and handed the staff in his hand to Watson.
“Watson, take the staff. Remember what I said just now? I want a weapon that is not inferior to the Thread of Destiny.”
Watson did not respond to him when he took the staff. He chanted to himself. “System fusion, activate.”.
Following his voice, the remaining 12 holy relics in the air turned into dazzling light and fused with Antonio’s staff.
The originally emerald-green wooden staff immediately changed. First, the color changed from emerald green to yellow, red, blue, green, black, white, and gray. Each color represented a symbol, and the staff was filled with elemental symbols. For example, yellow represented earth elements, and its symbol was in the shape of rocks, and the texture was also rock-like.
As for the other colors, red was fire, blue was waves, cyan was wind, black and white were darkness and light, respectively, and gray was the new element, chaos. The staff, made of the seven elements, did not look real. Instead, it was a combination of seven powerful elemental rules. At the tip, it formed a crown in the shape of a throne, and on top of that was a seven-colored gem.
[Congratulations, Master, on fusing so many diamond-tier tools. You have obtained a starlight-tier tool, the God of Magic’s Crown Staff.]
[Starlight-tier weapon: the God of Magic’s Crown Staff.]
Abilities: Seven Elemental Rules (releasing magic will no longer require magic consumption, no need to chant, and the power will be increased tenfold), Magical Source Communication (can communicate with the magical source and directly use the power of the seven elemental sources to fight the enemy).]
[Additional abilities: Seven Elemental Kingdoms (can cast seven divine kingdoms, each of which has a different ability), Crown Mage (the holder of this staff will receive the blessing from the God of Magic, get the arcane crown, and master of all the known types of magic in the world), Magic Seance (can use magic elements to create a god’s projection against the enemy), Magic Particle Transformation (can make the body into small magic particles, can also inject magical particles into the body of others to cast magic).]
Even though the Crown Staff had less power than the Thread of Destiny, its power was not weak at all. In fact, it was even more powerful.
Firstly, in terms of power, the Thread of Destiny could control the enemy. The Crown Staff also had the ability to control the enemy with magic particles. As long as the magic particles were injected into another person’s body and some mind control magic was cast, it could control the enemy. The unique aspect of the Thread of Destiny was the Karma Reversal. The unique part of the Crown Staff was its ability to obtain knowledge. The Crown Staff could also use the divine kingdom seven times more than the Thread of Destiny.
He had fused a diamond-tier weapon, but the quality of the weapon had increased by so much. Watson had not expected that.
That magic staff was not only a weapon but also a treasure trove of knowledge that contained all kinds of magic and elemental laws. The person who held that magical staff, even if he were an ordinary person who was not even comparable to iron-tier, would instantly become a person who had mastered all kinds of magic, a crowned mage who was equivalent to a god.
The so-called crowned mage was the person who stood at the peak of all mages. To be able to achieve it with just a weapon showed how powerful that Crown Staff was.
After Watson fused the Crown Staff, he handed it to Antonio. The older man took it, and a layer of a seven-colored feather coat immediately appeared on his body. That feather coat was not real, it was made of seven simple elements, but its defensive power was not inferior to diamond-tier armor.
At the same time, a small crown appeared on Antonio’s head. Even though it was not big, it was shining with a golden light. That was the epitome of the arcane crown, which was similar to the angel’s halo. That arcane crown was made of countless amounts of magical knowledge.
The most significant change was Antonio’s eyes. The moment the feather coat and crown appeared, his eyes became intense. Countless knowledge flashed through them, making his eyes seem to contain the flow of the starry sky and the destruction of heaven and earth.
“Watson, you did not disappoint me. I feel as if a lot of knowledge about magic has appeared in my mind. It’s not only that, but I also sensed the seven sources of magic in this world.”
Antonio gently waved his staff toward the sky and said, “The source of fire-elemental magic.”
A huge fireball suddenly appeared in the sky. It was like the sun, and it was still expanding. The high temperature it emitted distorted the air, and the expanding flame burned a hole in the protective barrier that the grand swordmaster had previously set up.
That was a pure flame that was flowing out of a corner of the source of magic power. It was not a specific spell, but it contained countless types of spells. All fire-elemental spells were born from that fireball. It seemed to be the source of all fire-element spells.
All platinum and diamond-tier spells appeared powerless in front of that fireball. Once its power erupted, the ripples it produced would be enough to destroy the entire capital.
“That is the essence of magic. I have been searching for the true essence of magic my entire life. I have studied thousands of types of magic but have yet to understand the truth. I did not expect that I would be able to obtain it so easily now.”
Sighing with emotion, Antonio gently waved the staff in his hand once again. The huge fireball that looked like a sun above his head turned into a source of magical power for the other elements. There was a huge planet-like earth-elemental source floating in the air. There was also a water-elemental source of magic that was wider and deeper than all the oceans combined. Each source of magical power had its own extraordinary aspects. Soon, Antonio had tested six types of magical elements. It was time for the last—the chaos element.
When it was time for the chaos element, an eyeball without pupils appeared in the sky. The eyeball was filled with green-gray fog. Even though the strength of the fog was far stronger than the other elements, the power contained in the eyeball was much weaker. It seemed to be not as enormous as the other elements.
“Why is the source of the chaos elements so weak? It can’t be compared to the source of the other elements. Perhaps it’s new, so it hasn’t grown yet?”
Antonio looked at Watson. He knew that Watson was the one who created the chaos element.
Sensing Antonio’s gaze, Watson rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Antonio was right. The source of the chaos element was weak because it was a new element, and the source of magical power had fused with his body. If he used too much, it would make him feel weak.
When Antonio was using the staff, Watson felt the source of chaos-elemental magic activated in his body. He subconsciously stopped Antonio from showing the complete projection. Otherwise, Antonio’s attack would have drained more than half of the source of chaos-elemental magic in his body.
“Forget it. Even if I don’t use the chaos-elemental magic, the other sources will be enough for me.”
After experimenting with all the abilities of the magic staff, Antonio was satisfied and allowed the strange phenomenon in the sky to dissipate.
He was satisfied he could communicate with the source of magic. He did not need any other abilities. In the future, he did not need to cast any spells. He only needed to pour the power from the source of magic, which was endless and rarely exhausted. No matter how strong the opponent was, they would not be able to withstand such an attack, right?
Watson knew that his mission was completed when he saw Antonio touching the magic staff fondly with childish excitement. Just as he felt relieved, he suddenly heard Reid’s voice.
“D*mn it, Antonio. I asked Watson to fuse a weapon for me, but he only fused some threads. Why did you get a magic staff, Antonio, and such a cool magic staff too?”
Reid stared at the staff in Antonio’s hand, looking as if he wanted to snatch it away. If Antonio did not have a staff but a sword of the same design, that would have been the best.
Reid was quite satisfied with the Thread of Destiny, but when he saw Antonio gain so much, it was his turn to feel unsatisfied. He could feel the obvious threat from the elemental laws that Antonio had released. Initially, he was invincible in diamond-tier, and he could at least be on par with Antonio, if not surpass him. He could not help but feel competitive.
“Reid, Watson and I are master and disciple? I have been Watson’s teacher for two years. You, a latecomer, want to compete with me?”
Seeing Reid’s sour tone, Antonio, who was already excited, became even more proud.
“Hmm, Antonio, don’t give me that. You only taught Watson what you could teach, and you didn’t even teach him seriously! Unlike me, if I want to be serious, Watson can learn my skills in a day.” Reid snorted coldly.
Watson, who had been listening and did not intend to interrupt, said, “Master Antonio, is that true? You only taught me one or two spells every week for the past two years, not because I’m not talented, but because you’re not willing to teach me?”
“Watson, don’t listen to Reid’s nonsense. It’s not important,” Antonio said. Watson muttered, “I think it’s quite important.” He had always thought that his slow learning speed was because he was not talented enough. It seemed that was not the case. Since his master did not continue to respond to his thoughts, he could only shut his mouth.
Meanwhile, Antonio and Reid continued to argue. “I have nurtured countless people in the kingdom. Don’t you see how many platinum-tier elites I have nurtured? Don’t tell me that they are useless. After all, the holy relics have already been used. It’s impossible for you to want a stronger weapon now.”
“Not possible? Fuse the staff in your hand with my Thread of Destiny. Perhaps I can obtain the weapon I want then.”
“Reid, are you saying these words to fight with me? I’m not afraid of you.”
“Don’t use your weapon. You think I can’t beat you?”
“Reid, don’t you know that weapons are also a part of one’s strength?”
“I’m too lazy to argue with you since you don’t intend to hand over your weapons anyway. I see that the Campbell family still has some holy relics that they haven’t handed over yet. Let’s go and ask them to hand over those items now. When the time comes, I’ll let Watson fuse them first. What do you think?”
“Deal. Since the Campbell family bullied our precious disciple anyway, the lesson we taught them was not enough.”
Reid and Antonio had reached an agreement. Everyone—Watson, Christina, and the Sword Saint’s disciples—had awkward looks on their faces. They did not know whether to cover their ears or not. Antonio and Reid did not look like men of their statuses. Instead, they were like two old hooligans discussing how to rob other people.
