Takumi intended to use the new version of the Falna after the fusion.
"Well, the name also needs to be changed. It's not appropriate to continue calling it Falna. After all, it's still the same thing fundamentally, but calling it the Class Transfer System feels too underwhelming..."
"To put it simply, let's just call it the Divine Path, the broad road leading to godhood."
Originally, just with the improvement of the Falna, there was a probability that people could ascend to become Gods—like the Gods of the Dungeon World. Now that a Class Transfer System had been added, the growth limit was higher, and there was a greater probability of achieving divinity. So, it was absolutely true that this new version of the growth system was the path to becoming a god.
Then, Takumi wrote down the design ideas and goals of the Divine Path System at the top of his notes and continued taking notes. After writing down all his ideas, he began to try to integrate the Falna and the Class Transfer System.
As early as when he returned to accept the Class Transfer System, Takumi had already started to accumulate magic power, and now he had accumulated hundreds of times his upper limit. But not surprisingly, the first attempt failed.
"The improvement of these two growth systems is very expensive. If I want to integrate them, I will probably need at least tens of thousands of times my magic power limit."
But Takumi wasn't in a hurry. He just had to slowly build up his magic power. But then, Takumi had another flash of inspiration.
"Wait, can I use the Magic Furnace?"
Using external magic power is actually quite common. For example, in the Type-Moon World, powerful magicians often knew how to use the Great Source of magic power naturally existing in the outside world to perform advanced and high-consumption large-scale magic. Even in modern times, the magic world there had developed a Magic Furnace, a stable external magic supply device that could be carried.
The Infinite Magic Furnace that Takumi created before was actually based on this kind of Magic Furnace concept to a certain extent. Since people in the Type-Moon World could use this method to replace their own magic power expenditure, then he could too!
Even if there were problems and no conditions, Takumi could still solve the problems and create the conditions! After all, this was a matter of doing it once and for all. As long as the Infinite Magic Furnace could supply magic when he created spells, he no longer had to slowly accumulate magic power by himself in the future. He also no longer had to worry about accumulating too much magic power and risking an explosion.
Moreover, it could also be used in two ways at the same time, greatly speeding up the time required for future creation and improvement. Or if he built a few more Infinite Magic Furnaces, wouldn't it mean that he could create whatever he wanted in the future?!
Thinking about it this way, it was okay to slow down the fusion and deal with the external magic supply first! Just do it when you think of it; Takumi quickly went to the Infinite Magic Furnace.
He took a magic crystal and tried to use the magic inside to cast a spell. In the end, it was naturally successful. After all, these magic crystals were originally used to power magic tools. If they couldn't be used, then why did he make so many of them?
"It's feasible. The only question now is how to use this external magic power on a large scale."
So, Takumi cheated again. He used magic to create a spell that could utilize this external magic power on a large scale and at a high flow rate. Then he used this magic to connect to the Infinite Magic Furnace.
Boom!
The huge magic power was like high-pressure water pouring into Takumi's meridians, causing the magic power in his body to be stimulated and spread out around him. Well, to put it bluntly, the magic power went out of control.
"Damn! I was careless!"
Takumi immediately understood that this was because he was impatient and did not consider how to control the magic power that suddenly rushed into his meridians. The external magic power was not as obedient as his own, and controlling it was much more laborious. Otherwise, the technique of using external magic power would not be limited to only powerful magicians.
In the small test just now, because the magic power was small, he had very good control and did not feel any difficulty. But now, under the huge output of the Infinite Magic Furnace, this problem finally appeared. However, it seemed a bit late to realize it now.
"Hiss...!"
The bursts of stinging pain made Takumi take a sharp breath. Feeling the magic power rushing through his body, which was about to explode and tear apart his meridians, Takumi quickly prepared to break the connection. At this moment, a warm current that Takumi was very familiar with suddenly emerged from his body.
"Um?! This feeling! Could it be?"
Takumi immediately stopped thinking about disconnecting. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his meridians being torn. He resisted and decided to check the situation again. Anyway, he was already injured, so he didn't care if it got a bit more serious. He had the Perfect Body ability. With self-recovery and god-level elixirs in hand, there was no need to worry too much about treating the injured meridians.
Takumi was not disappointed; the warm current began to flow to his meridians, and the upgrade began. Takumi couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this.
"This wave is a blessing in disguise! I didn't expect it to actually trigger evolution."
I thought I was just going to be injured due to carelessness, but I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to trigger the adaptive evolution of the Perfect Body! This was truly a blessing in disguise!
"Could it be because I just came into contact with Eris, the Goddess of Luck, today? How lucky."
Takumi suddenly couldn't help but think about it. But immediately, he rejected the idea. The main feature of the evolution of the Perfect Body lies in the word "adaptability". It allows Takumi to adapt quickly under various circumstances; heat resistance will evolve when the external environment is hot, and cold resistance will evolve when the external environment is cold.
Now the rampant magic power had begun to tear his meridians. If this did not trigger evolution, then he would have to doubt this ability. Was it just being lazy?
Under the transformation of the warm current of evolution, the violent magic gradually calmed down. The meridians were also repaired and expanded significantly, becoming almost the size of a chopstick and as thick as a water pipe. So much so that Takumi could feel that the upper limit of magic power in his body had increased by more than ten times!
Moreover, his meridians were very resilient now. If he forced himself to hold on, it would be no problem to hold ten times more magic power. He would never be stretched to pieces like this again. A tenfold, no, a hundredfold improvement! Ten times is normal capacity; a hundred times is the load limit.
What's more, Takumi could feel that the magic power instilled by the Infinite Magic Furnace had become easier to control, just like his own magic power, moving like an extension of his own body! Takumi could even feel the magic power in the air and environment. He seemed to be able to absorb this magic power now. At the same time, the strength of his body had also doubled.
The evolution was over. Takumi quickly interrupted the connection and let the magic furnace start producing magic crystals again. Although he also wanted to continue the connection to see if he would trigger evolution again if he continued to be instilled by the Infinite Magic Furnace, it was, after all, a dangerous act of self-mutilation, so Takumi held back. If it wasn't triggered, wouldn't he be hurting himself in vain?
There are other ways to increase the upper limit of magic power that are safer; there was no need for him to use this method. Moreover, as long as the problem of using external magic power was solved, the upper limit of personal magic power would no longer mean much to Takumi. Because it was just a matter of building a few magic furnaces.
The real problem now was the maximum transmission power that the meridians could withstand. This implies the difference between using a straw, a water pipe, or a high-pressure water pump to discharge water into a pool. If it was originally a problem of water storage, then now the problem is how to put more water from the reservoir into use in a shorter period of time.
But it doesn't matter whether this aspect can be improved or not. As long as the magic power is sufficient, even if he has to suck it with a straw or remove it drop by drop, he can still cast the spell successfully. The only difference is the speed of the casting process. Now Takumi's transmission power was already very strong, and since he wasn't going to create anything particularly outrageous immediately, this power was sufficient.
After dealing with the damage caused by the magic runaway just now, he checked whether the magic furnace had been affected or damaged. After confirming there was no problem, Takumi connected to the magic furnace again and used the magic power to try to integrate the Falna and the Class Transfer System.
To Takumi's surprise, it actually failed!
"Is it because it can't recognize the potential infinite magic power of the magic furnace? Or does it mean that magic cannot be created using external magic?"
Takumi couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this. In order to confirm his idea, he tried to use the magic power of the magic furnace to create a small spell.
"It succeeded, which means that external magic power can also be used to create magic."
"So the reason why it failed just now is that it must have ready-made magic power?"
Realizing the key to the problem, Takumi went to the warehouse where magic crystals were stored. All the magic power produced by the Infinite Magic Furnace was stored here. Looking at it, it was an ocean of blue polyhedral crystals.
"With so much magic power, it should be enough."
Takumi directly covered the entire warehouse with a magic circle that guided magic, and then used all the magic reserves to try to integrate the Falna and the Class Transfer System.
Buzz!
The pile of magic crystals that could be described as an ocean almost completely lit up, and the light that quickly turned into magic energy rushed toward Takumi.
"Done!"
Although he was a little startled by this scene, Takumi couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Because he understood that this was a sign that the experiment was successful. Sure enough! Huge magic power poured into his body and quickly disappeared out of thin air, making him feel like a bottomless black hole, swallowing the magic power released by the magic crystals.
At the same time, the magic crystals in the warehouse were also decreasing rapidly. Until more than ten minutes later, when there was only one cartload left in the warehouse after a huge pile, the consumption finally stopped.
The combination of the Falna and the Class Transfer System—the [Divine Path] system was born!
"It actually consumes so much magic power. If it were me before the evolution, I probably wouldn't have been able to accumulate enough magic power without bursting myself."
Seeing that more than ninety-nine percent of the magic power crystals were consumed, Takumi couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he suddenly thought of this method, otherwise he would have had to take a long detour.
Then Takumi quickly checked the results.
"Well, no problem, just as I planned."
Looking at this latest version of the growth system, which was another masterpiece of his, Takumi couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. All aspects of the data of the Divine Path System were integrated and created according to his requirements.
Then, the next step was to find someone to give it a try. Takumi left the warehouse, returned to the City Lord's palace, and found Riveria.
He said to her cheerfully: "Riveria, I have something good here, do you want to try it?"
Because there were no issues found during his inspection, Takumi didn't intend to find a guinea pig. He just wanted to share the experience. So he found his own woman. After all, such a good thing must be used first by those closest to him.
Unexpectedly, when Riveria heard this, she suddenly blushed: "No, there are still children here."
As she spoke, she glanced at Little Lumine, who happened to be in class next to them.
Takumi couldn't help but be speechless: "What are you thinking about? I'm being serious. I have created the latest and more powerful growth system, which combines the Class Transfer System of the Konosuba World and the Falna."
When Riveria heard this, her pretty face turned even redder: "Bah, I didn't say it was immoral. It's obviously you who is immoral."
Actually, one couldn't blame her for thinking wrongly. The main reason was that Takumi used such a tone to trick her into "practicing boxing" in the office several times. It wasn't until Little Lumine came later and the office became inconvenient that Takumi stopped. That's all.
But immediately, Riveria couldn't help but be startled: "Wait? You mean the Class Transfer System? You went out today and got this?"
Isn't this too fast?
Takumi nodded: "Absolutely. I have other channels to obtain it. Now I have integrated it with the Falna and created a new growth system that combines the strengths of both. I call it the Divine Path System, which means the road to becoming a god."
"How about it? Are you interested in being the first to eat this crab?"
"The road to becoming a god? It seems that you have great expectations for it." Riveria took a deep look at Takumi, and then nodded: "Then let me give it a try."
She naturally supported Takumi's new invention. And she was also a little curious about what new tricks Takumi had come up with this time. Seeing this, Takumi updated Riveria with the Divine Path System. Then he taught Riveria how to use it.
First, call up the status panel. At this time, a qualification test will be conducted, and some occupations suitable for the person involved will be listed. The person needs to choose one from them. Then, the attribute panel will be automatically generated.
The Divine Path doesn't have many more professions than the original Class Transfer System. The main reason is that the addition of the magic system has led to the inclusion of some mid-to-high-level mage professions. The professions in the Divine Path System have one more tier than the standard system, divided into Basic Professions, Intermediate Professions, and Advanced Professions.
Among the current Intermediate Professions, almost all are specialized mages of each single element system in Takumi's magic system. Moreover, professions can also be changed. Every time the rank is promoted, your qualifications will be tested again, providing an opportunity to re-select a profession. However, the skill points that have been consumed will not be refunded, so you should choose an Advanced Profession at the beginning if possible, as it is better to stay consistent.
Riveria chose a new profession, the Almighty Mage. The advantage is that you can learn all magic, and the degree of freedom is extremely high. But the disadvantage is that there are no exclusive skills, and the magic needs to be matched by yourself. If the planning is not good, it is easy to get out of control and end up with a poor result. But Riveria was not worried about this problem. Anyway, she rarely goes to the front line to participate in battles. Even if the skill points are spent, she is confident she can learn the magic she wants herself, so she does not need to care too much about the skill point distribution.
Then, the attribute interface was generated. Similar to online games, the attributes are divided into four dimensions: Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, and Magic, which represent the corresponding reference data. After all, this reality is not truly an online game, so there are no health bars, mana bars, attack power, or defense power stats. As for attributes, they are reference values based on one point in each of the four dimensions representing an ordinary adult.
Riveria's current attributes were four digits in all four dimensions, including Strength, Endurance, and Dexterity. They were close to two thousand, and the Magic attribute was even close to five thousand!
Then there is the Rank and Level. Riveria was Level 7, effectively level seventy.
The relationship between Rank and Level implies the upper limit of the level and the existing level. Each Rank corresponds to ten levels. Riveria is Rank 7, so the upper limit is level seventy, which is the peak of Rank 7. The reason why the current displayed level is "one" is because she has not yet used this system to gain experience and upgrade.
This is also a major benefit of the Divine Path System. It allows people like Riveria, who have improved their qualifications through the Falna, to gain an enhancement on this basis, gaining double or even more power.
Next, there is the attribute growth value. From level one to level ten, the attribute growth value is four, with an average of one point in each of the four dimensions. The upgrade rewards four points of free attributes, and by level ten, the total is significant. From eleven to twenty, the attribute growth value is doubled to eight points, with an average of two points in each of the four dimensions. The free attributes are eight points per level. And so on.
