DanMachi: Annihilation Maker in DanMachi World!

The first step was to draw ambient Magicules from the outside world into the body, filtering them through the meridian system and life force. During this process, willpower would be manifested and fused seamlessly with the Magicules.

Willpower was the psychological manifestation of conscious effort aimed at a specific goal. Born from the foundation of human cognition and emotion, it acted as the central hub that regulated a person's mental state.

By manifesting this willpower and merging it with external Magicules, one could alter the intrinsic properties of the Magicules, channeling their own will throughout every inch of their body.

The core of this entire system revolved around willpower; it was the essential key for controlling and regulating energy.

Spiritual power, Life Sage Arts, Comprehensive Magic—

Lucian compartmentalized his powers based on his current state.

Spiritual power was used to cast spells. Life force was used for Life Sage Arts. Comprehensive Magic, meanwhile, encompassed the traits of both energy types.

During this time, Lucian discovered that Comprehensive Magic could be converted into spells via magic formulas, or it could be cast directly through the Magic Slots.

This didn't surprise him. After all, spiritual power, magic, and Magicules were all fundamentally the same type of substance, merely possessing different properties.

On another note, while the impact force and internal destruction aspects of Life Sage Arts could be replicated with this new energy, directly disrupting another person's internal life force flow strictly required the use of raw life energy.

Impact force and Internal Destruction are just applied techniques of Life Sage Arts, but disrupting the flow of human life force relies on the unique properties of the energy itself, Lucian realized.

Additionally, life energy in the Magi universe possessed a supreme technique: sacrificing one's own life force to drastically boost the intensity of their "Qi."

Essentially, a person would burn their own flesh and blood, transforming from a heavy-set individual into a skeletal husk, all to attain a massive surge in "Qi."

This move could be executed using Life Sage Arts, but it was entirely unnecessary. Since Lucian could directly absorb ambient Qi from his surroundings, he had never bothered developing such a self-destructive technique.

However, purely for the sake of verification, Lucian found that he could replicate the effect using Comprehensive Magic.

He concluded that while Comprehensive Magic possessed the traits of both spiritual power and life force and could convert between the two, it couldn't fully replace either energy source.

Three energies split across three Dantians, serving as three distinct springs of power. There was no need for absolute replacement.

Beyond that, Comprehensive Magic boasted several other unique characteristics. First was its interaction with Magic Slots. Normally, when casting a spell through a Magic Slot, the user couldn't freely adjust its power output.

Because leveling up elevated a person's life essence, the Magic stat (one of the five basic attributes) represented the quality of one's spirit. An increase in quality naturally led to an increase in spell power.

Generally, casting spells didn't allow for a reduction in spiritual power consumption. Only specific skills or the Development Ability "Mage" allowed a user to intentionally consume more spiritual power to boost a spell's output.

But with Comprehensive Magic, Lucian could freely dictate how much magic power he poured in, directly controlling the exact strength of the resulting spell.

Through specialized manipulation, he could also shorten incantations, launching grand magic with zero chanting required.

This was the direct result of fusing willpower into Comprehensive Magic. It was akin to how Ill Ilah controlled the Black Rukh, or how Solomon's will overrode the Rukh to turn it White. Willpower was the core regulator of energy output.

Simultaneously, it allowed him to compress magic power directly, completely bypassing the need for formulas.

Lucian condensed magic power into the palm of his hand, altering its property to "Sharpness." By coating his hand in it, he instantly gained destructive claws on par with a Juggernaut's.

Normally, altering the property of magic power requires a formula, but my Magic Creation spell allows me to cast magic through pure imagination, entirely skipping the calculation process.

Innate Magic required programming and calculations. Lucian's Magic Creation didn't; it functioned much like the concept of "Gemstones" from A Certain Magical Index.

Though he didn't strictly need formulas, he could still create spells that relied on calculations. His Alchemy Magic and ritual arrays were invented through this very method.

"Should I just set the concept as Magic?"

Lucian muttered to himself.

Now, there were only two steps left before reaching the Demigod Realm. First, he needed to imbue his magic power with a specific property—effectively integrating a concept into it.

The second step was to crystallize that fusion into a Seed of Authority, thereby acquiring the traits of a Demigod.

No, that's not foundational enough.

The concept of "Magic" was decent, but magic was ultimately just the act of altering natural laws or producing supernatural effects through "specific means."

That middleman—the "specific means," whether it be incantations, symbols, or rituals—meant that in worlds with unique, overriding laws, magic might struggle to maintain its independence and could easily be restricted.

Even his own Magic Creation was fundamentally tied to his Magic Slots; it was still a "specific means," adding an unnecessary extra step.

He needed to consider his unique advantages: the rules and concepts gathered within the Sea of Illusions, as well as his Rule Creation magic itself.

There were roughly three magical properties best suited for him:

One: Illusions.

The concept of Illusions was the absolute core of the Sea of Illusions. His Divine Avatar already possessed this core concept. Applying it again would be redundant.

While he could use the concept of Illusions to rapidly perfect his new energy property, it felt a bit too boring.

Two: Rules.

Every single one of his achievements thus far had been forged through rules. However, Comprehensive Magic combined with concepts was already a manifestation of rules in and of itself.

Three: Omnipotence.

Molding the concept of "Omnipotence" using concepts and rules wouldn't overlap with the concept of Illusions, nor would its form overlap with his standard Rules. Therefore, this was the absolute most fitting magic property for Lucian.

Having settled on this, Lucian fused the corresponding concepts into his magic property, condensing it down into a Seed of Authority.

An ethereal, illusory entity took shape within his Lower Dantian, forming a completely unique Spring of Life.

His Lower Dantian, which previously only possessed storage capabilities, could now absorb external Magicules like a sacred spring, converting them into his own unique, personalized magic property.

"Why does this feel like I'm stepping into the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Lucian muttered, almost making himself laugh.

Levels 1 through 10 were Qi Condensation, Demigods were Foundation Establishment, and Rule Gods were the Golden Core... If he really framed this as a Xianxia cultivation system, it would undoubtedly be a high-end one.

Next, I need to absorb every single concept present within the Sea of Illusions into the Seed of Authority.

With the concept of Omnipotence established, Lucian began absorbing elements to fuel it.

The process was much slower than he had anticipated, like a toddler learning how to walk.

Pondering for a moment, Lucian remembered the two energy seeds he possessed—the Flame of Heaven and the Aberrant Flame. He promptly relocated both fire seeds into his Dantian.

The Seed of Authority, bearing the Omnipotence trait, quickly absorbed the two flames, assimilating them as a part of his overall Omnipotence.

So that's how you solve that problem.

Lucian realized with a spark of clarity.

After absorbing the two energy seeds, Lucian felt the conceptual framework within his Lower Dantian inch closer to perfection, gaining even greater expansibility.

His energy reserves surged violently in tandem, rocketing his overall strength up by a massive margin.

Not only that, but Lucian was currently Level 2. He had already naturally grown to a state bordering on his absolute limit.

He had originally planned to hit max stats, grind some Excellia in the Colosseum, and then trigger his Limit Break... but now, he realized his limits had been broken before he even actively used a skill!

He hadn't needed to lift a single finger. This was the true value of being a Demigod!
