Chapter 42 Formation
Chapter 42 Formation
"Really?" Li Wei released his grip with some skepticism, warning, "Remember, I am human. If you dare to use pure humans as sacrifices and fuel, I will kill you sooner or later."
"...Okay...okay...sir...I understand, I'll start the device for you right away."
Vastor, panting heavily after surviving the ordeal, immediately retreated to the side without pausing, using the control panel of the shielding device to avoid Levi's wrath.
"Hmm, the effect is not bad." Li Wei looked at the flustered Vashtor and nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't truly hate Vashtor for using human lives as sacrifices; he knew at first glance that those humans were nothing but a group of hopeless degenerates. His real purpose was to teach him a lesson.
Cooperating with the devil is, in a sense, like dancing on a tightrope, requiring constant prodding and vigilance.
Moreover, since they would be relying on Vashtor to carry out even more important tasks, he had to establish rules in advance.
"Alright, sir."
Vashtor's voice interrupted Livy's thoughts.
He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and walked to the center of the device, which was glowing with a faint red rune aura. He took out Tzeentch's wrist from the system space and carefully placed it into the slot of the device.
Li Wei waited silently, watching to see if there were any unusual spiritual energy fluctuations in the wrist. After waiting for a long time, the wrist still did not move, so he was completely relieved and withdrew from the spiritual energy perception state.
He was about to speak to Vashtor when he found the future creator standing there, as if his soul had been stolen away.
Li Wei walked up to him helplessly, waved his hand in front of his eyes until his eyes showed signs of movement, and then spoke:
"Vashtor, are you awake?"
"...She's awake! She's awake!"
Before Levi could say anything more, Vashtor immediately pointed at the blue wrist in the center of the device and screamed:
"This is full of the psionic circuits of the Lord of Changes. Is this the Lord of Changes's doing? How is this possible?"
After saying that, he kept circling around the device, muttering to himself.
Li Wei waited a long time until Vashtor, the forging fanatic, finally stopped rambling on and on before speaking:
"Vashtor, is it normal now?"
"It's normal now, it's normal now..." Vashtor wiped his drool, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
He really wanted to know Li Wei, whose strength was lower than his own—no, his current strength was actually close to his own.
When he was being choked, he had already sensed Li Wei's strength, which had increased dramatically to a level close to his own in less than half a year.
Otherwise, even if he was caught off guard, he wouldn't have been subdued so quickly and unable to break free.
He was aware of his own strength; he was no match for Tzeentch at all, and it would be good if he could hold his own for a few rounds.
But how did Li Wei manage to cut off that wrist from Tzeentch's hand?
Because of his previous experience of being choked and warned by Li Wei, he gave up the idea of asking further questions; after all, curiosity killed the cat.
"Here's a diagram. Take it and study it. Use it to dismantle that cunning scheme as soon as possible."
Li Wei took out a yellowed parchment diagram from the system space and tossed it to Vashtor. Before the other could react, he walked to the side, opened the system page, and clicked on the friend list.
He began communicating with the sorceress Elizabeth.
[Li Wei: Thank you for the help of Wizard Elizabeth.]
[Ellie: Wizard Levi, don't be so polite. It might be a good thing that you didn't choose to return to the wizarding world after becoming a full-fledged wizard. It just means the Infiltrator System will be leaving you.]
[Li Wei: It's alright. The Wizarding World's suppression of lower-level wizards is too great, and this system is basically useless to me anyway. However, I want to ask why the Nexus is so lenient towards infiltrators, granting me permanent access to the coordinates of my world without any explanation.]
[Ellie: The reason is quite simple. Of the nine Supreme Legendary Wizards in the Wizarding World's High Council, three were originally infiltrators. They are simply mentoring younger generations; any returning infiltrator wizards will be given special attention and training.]
[Li Wei: Thank you for your answer. May your path in shamanism be smooth and may you achieve a breakthrough soon.]
[Ellie: Yes, I also hope you can break through to the legendary realm and return to the wizarding world once again.]
After saying that, Li Wei exited the chat interface, went to the system store, purchased the wizard knowledge he needed on the page, put it into the storage space he purchased, and then permanently exited the system.
Feeling a little empty inside, Li Wei was about to talk to Vashtor when he discovered that Vashtor was already engrossed in studying the array diagram on his workbench.
That array was a reward from the Infiltrator System after Li Wei became a formal wizard. It was an array that could dismantle all things and return the energy and authority they contained to their origin.
After Li Wei obtained it, he had a bold idea.
He intended to use this formation to dismantle the cunning and treacherous hand of the Lord of Myriad Changes and extract his authority from within.
He intended to use Vashtor to create a god, divide Tzeentch's power, and weaken Him, thereby achieving his goal of "killing" Him.
Interestingly, after Li Wei broke through to become a formal wizard, he realized through his all-seeing eyes that the Primarchs might actually be divine beings who possessed a portion of the Chaos Origin.
Within Magnus resides the psychic authority of the Lord of Changes, as well as the psychic authority of the Dark Lord, the Emperor.
In a sense, Magnus was a creation of both the Emperor and the Tzeentch.
"No wonder the Lord of Changes had to lead Magnus into Chaos; He was reclaiming His authority."
Li Wei suddenly realized that only after arriving here did he understand why Tzeentch had such an almost obsessive attachment to Magnus.
Tzeentch was keeping an eye on his own things to prevent them from leaking out, not because he truly favored Magnus.
"My lord... Lord Li Wei, are you really going to give me this array diagram? This is an array that can directly split the essence of a god."
After studying the formation, Vashtor looked at Li Wei with disbelief.
He hadn't expected Li Wei to trust him so much, actually giving him this array diagram. Now he had a chance to ascend to godhood, and whose godhood it was didn't matter.
This is far more important than the Chaos Crystals that Li Wei had given him before.
"Hmm!" Li Wei smiled faintly, his thoughts interrupted. "I trust your character; you won't let me down."
He said things that even he found disgusting, in order to win over Vashtor.
Of course, Li Wei, who sent the magic circle, didn't have much good intentions. If Vashtor really dismantles the authority of the Lord of Change on a large scale from the demons under Tzeentch's command and devours the authority of the Lord of Change, sooner or later he will be targeted by Tzeentch and become a target to draw his fire.
Both Senko and he could get enough breathing room, which would give him more time to deal with Tzeentch's subsequent schemes.
