"With this mark, you can use her magic power. Theoretically, all the magic power in the universe belongs to her. When the witch uses magic power to drive magic, she is borrowing her power.
As a price, your magic power will be drained by her at any time whenever she needs it.
After you die, your soul and magic power will all return to the origin and become a part of her."
"It's too dark." Harry lamented, found a stone and sat down in front of the goddess statue.
Asar said quietly: "Actually, it's not too dark. It's just like human beings are born on the earth, get food and water from the earth, and finally die, the body returns to the earth, completing a cycle.
Without the Seal of March, you cannot awaken your magic power.
All the miraculous power of the multiverse comes from the mother of magic."
"I don't believe it." Harley said seriously: "I think she is more like a consciousness born from the origin of magic.
It was the source of magic that created her, not her bringing magic to the universe.
Look at what she did, so stupid and completely following the lowest instinctive desires.
How is it like a being that can create miracles in the universe?
Look at God again. The City of Silver and Hell are both from His hands. The angels and demons that oppose good and evil in the eyes of the world are the embodiment of His mature ideas.
It’s impossible to evaluate her strength, but in terms of thought, Hecate is really several levels behind God.”
Assal was silent for a long time and sighed: "Harry, you are very smart and perceptive.
What you are thinking now is exactly the reason and motivation for the ancient god to dare to take action against her.
They also feel unwilling to have their own power controlled by others.
They are so ambitious that they think they can replace Hecate."
"Since Rachel brought me here, does it prove that you can help me solve the Seal of March and the Seal of Heaven and Hell?"
"Shit, even if it's a piece of raw pork that just left the slaughterhouse, it doesn't need so many seals, right?"
At the end of the sentence, Harry couldn't help but curse.
Goddess Asal said: "You are doing well, at least you don't believe in any angel or demon.
If you are a believer of Hellboy, at the moment when you are born with magic power, the Seal of March, the Seal of Hell, the Seal of the Baron, the Seal of the Baron Master, the Seal of the Master's Master until the Seal of Satan, one by one.
, layer by layer.
If you have more than one belief, the above process will be repeated again.
In that case, your creditors will be more than you can even count."
"Oh my God, it's so difficult to be a mage. The magical world is darker than the human world."
Harry's pretty face turned pale. She simply couldn't imagine how those mages who studied the 'Nine-Nine Gods' List' should live.
Asal said disapprovingly: "Even if you don't learn magic and remain a mortal all your life, being exploited and oppressed by the social system and the ruling class during your lifetime, it is still a good destination for your soul to go to heaven after death.
Once you go to hell or enter Limbo to fend for yourself, is it better than the mage's ending?"
Harry sighed: "Alas, those in the upper position are happy, while those in the lower position are sad. No matter the mortal world or the supernatural world, they are all the same."
"It's just that there is always a chance to become a superior in the mortal world. Is the path to promotion in the magical world completely blocked?"
Her eyes were shining, looking at the statue of the goddess expectantly.
There must be a reason why Rachel asked her to come here.
The goddess was silent for a moment and said: "I was not killed by anyone, but fifteen years ago, when I was looking for that new power at the edge of the universe, I was involved in a crazy elemental storm and hit the wall of origin uncontrollably.
"
Harry said solemnly: "You mean, even you hope to find a 'new power' from outside the universe, so as to get rid of the shackles of the 'old power' Hecate's magic?"
"Don't be too desperate. There are two meanings in my words. First, as you said, I am also looking for a new path; secondly, the new path has actually appeared, and that is outside the multiverse."
Harley thought thoughtfully, "The power in the universe has long been monopolized by the Supreme Being.
Since during the fusion of the multiverse, new energy comes from outside the universe.
Then, we can also take the initiative to seek unclaimed new power from outside the universe."
"This is the truth, but" the goddess sighed and said no more.
But Harley also understood.
With Asal's god-level strength, he died just because he was exploring new energy at the border of the universe.
If you want to pass through the wall of origin and find a way out of the multiverse, it will definitely be more dangerous.
"Harry, I have told you the magic knowledge you need to know. Now, I ask you, are you willing to be my apprentice?" the goddess said solemnly.
"What can I learn from you?" Harley asked.
"If I don't die, Rachel can live peacefully in Acharas for the rest of her life, and the Three Palace Demons will never find her." The goddess said proudly.
Harley asked hesitantly: "You mean, you are stronger than San Gong, so he doesn't dare to act wild here.
Or maybe you have special concealment skills that cover up the magic power of the Three Houses in Rachel."
"You are very smart, and you guessed it right in one go. Even if ten of us put together, we can't withstand a serious blow from San Gong.
But my ability to escape from the sky is unparalleled in the world.
If you can't fight, just run, if you can't run, just hide."
The goddess said it openly, with obvious pride in her tone.
The corner of Harry's mouth twitched, looking at the statue of the goddess, she was also a beautiful woman with a beautiful and elegant temperament. Why was she so vulgar?
Although the goddess only has one consciousness left in the statue, this is her divine kingdom, and this place is her temple. Of course, she can detect the changes in Harley's expression and psychology.
"Hecate is only sealed. One day, she will break out of the seal and bring about the final disaster to the entire supernatural world.
The magic power of all mages comes from her (ps), and she is definitely no match for them in a head-on fight.
As for escaping, where can you escape from a multiverse-level disaster?
Therefore, hiding is the most effective method." The goddess said calmly.
"Why can't the seal be strengthened?" Harley asked.
"Why are you here?" the goddess said.
"The grudge wants to put a mark on my forehead." Harry's expression changed and he suddenly said: "That's it! Over the years, countless witches have been born, and each witch was branded with the mark of March when they awakened their magic power.
When they die, their souls and magic will eventually become Hecate's nourishment.
Countless years passed, and her strength continued to increase, and she finally broke through."
"Goddess Asar, I would like to worship you as my teacher." Harley said seriously.
This goddess's method of dealing with the catastrophe was a little "obscene", but at least she created her own way and was a great person who "became a Buddha and became an ancestor".
Moreover, does she have a better choice now?
"Harry, there is no free lunch in the world, especially since I am a god.
Gods have greater desires than mortals, but they do not have the ethical and moral constraints of mortals.
Therefore, gods never give charity to believers.
If there is, it only means we will ask for more.
If you become my apprentice, you will definitely have to pay a certain price." Asal said calmly.
This was so true that Harry couldn't even refute it.
"What do you want?"
"As long as you can do it, you have to save me from the Origin Wall. Of course, do everything according to your ability. If you can't do it, I won't force it.
Alas, a drowning person cannot help but fantasize when he sees a straw." Asal sighed.
This request is not too much.
Harry thought for a moment and then agreed.
Even after receiving a female apprentice, Asal's tone did not change much.
There was no ceremony and no delay. The two of them immediately started teaching magic.
"How many kinds of magic have you learned?" Asal asked.
"About two kinds, black magic based on the "Book of Truth", and small techniques to draw magic power from physical trauma." Harry said.
"Oh, you even understand the 'cost magic'," Asal was startled, "then do you know how it works?"
"Two principles: first, the reverse application of the supreme law of the universe, 'Magic must pay a price'; second, treat the body as a small universe of an independent material universe. The magic power born in this small universe has not been contaminated by the supreme being."
Harley re-explained the theory she heard from Madam Xanadu according to her own understanding.
"Have you met a knowledgeable magic master this year? 'Price Magic' is very ancient and has been proven to be a dead end. Modern mages rarely study that stuff." Asal said in surprise.
"Mrs. Xanadu, the sister of the Lake Fairy." Harry said.
"It turns out to be her, the ancient ancestor Nimiao." Asal suddenly realized.
Then, she smiled and said: "Since you know the 'cost magic', I will get to the point directly.
Generally speaking, there are three ways to create magic.
First, wake up naturally.
Second, through high-level magic radiation, the body can awaken the magic power of the same attribute in a targeted manner.
Third, just like you, in the form of deathbed transformation, you awaken the magic power of ‘optional attributes’.
You have discovered that among the three awakening modes, the initial magic power comes from the physical body and blood.
It goes without saying that those who awaken naturally must have outstanding bloodlines.
In directional magic radiation, high-level magic first changes the body, and then the body generates magic power.
The same is true for death-bed transformation.”
Harley understood Asal's words deeply.
Just when her thoughts converged into one, her heart felt hot, and the first ray of magic was born from her blood. Then a series of "slave marks" pressed towards her, trying to leave their mark on her magic.
Seeing her understanding expression, Asal continued: "Since the original magic power is born from blood, can we do the opposite?
Anyway, all the magic power in the universe has its owner, so why not become a professional thief, steal other people's magic power, reverse the origin, and turn the magic power into the power of blood."
"This" Harry was stunned, looking up at the beautiful and solemn face of the statue, looking a little dazed.
Real people should not be judged by their appearance.
The goddess who looks sacred and inviolable is actually a shameless magic thief!
"Why, do you think there is something wrong with my philosophy?" the goddess said calmly.
"No!" Harley shook her head quickly and said sternly: "The Supreme Being monopolizes the source of power and does not leave any way for future generations to survive. It is simply shameless.
To defeat shameless people, you have to be more shameless than them.
Teacher, tell me how to steal magic power, I am very aware."
"We'll talk about this later. I haven't explained my concept clearly yet."
Asal's tone seemed gentler.
"According to the theory of 'price magic', the human body is a small universe. And if we continue to steal magic power and turn it into blood, it is equivalent to improving the small universe.
In the same way, the stronger the small universe, the more efficient it is to use cost magic.
But have you noticed that this theory of cultivation seems to have no connection with my ‘way of escaping the void’?”
