Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 964 - 47: Bathing_2

What truly surprised Fisher was that the magical effects used by Tangze Asuka seemed to have been enhanced. Trace Magic is extremely slow and should not be able to see such unique personal activity traces, and since the magic was inscribed by herself, the only issue could be with Tangze Asuka.

She seemed to subconsciously make the ring number of the magic automatically increase.

Fisher suddenly thought of the Magic Minister Ring on his finger; when he was under the Wutong Tree, it also once made Dream Magic infinitely increase rings. Perhaps due to overuse, when Fisher later called Tangze Asuka’s name to use the ring, this effect disappeared, and its original functionality was completely lost, turning into an ordinary ring.

"I see, then let’s head in that direction. The blue light over there is quite obvious; it’s clear no one has been active here for a long time. I wonder where the Helair Angel and others are... oh right, Mr. Fisher, I... I actually have a question."

Tangze Asuka put down the leaf she had used, and as the trace vision disappeared, the leaf quickly turned to ash and vanished.

After a moment of pause, she looked at Fisher, somewhat nervously continuing to speak. A student like her, who always ranked last in class, seemed to be asking her teacher an academic question for the first time, which she wasn’t used to.

But there’s a first time for everything, and like most teachers, Fisher wouldn’t refuse her request,

"Hmm, what’s the question?"

"That part used to determine the direction and nature of magic is called... Ring Head, right?"

"That’s correct."

"Hmm, Mr. Fisher just mentioned that most Ring Heads are specific symbols not defined by humans, but since humans don’t know which Ring Head corresponds to what specific thing in the world, how did mages come to know so many Ring Heads?"

Fisher looked at her and praised,

"Good question. A part of the Ring Heads came from magic books whose origins are long unknown, possibly from the direct teachings of the Mother Goddess; the rest, a small part were discovered by mages with keen intuition, but a large part was stumbled upon, and indeed, this serendipity also cost many mages their lives."

"However, the discovered magic Ring Heads have strong representativeness for various major matters in the world. In another sense, this symbol is the avatar of the thing it represents."

As Fisher spoke, his pupils slightly contracted, as he suddenly thought of something.

The symbol that represents the Spirit Realm in magic is that peculiar "inverted eight" symbol, and the Power symbol Renie possesses, similar to "infinity," is identical to the Spirit Realm’s magic symbol and also similar to the infinite growth he sensed when activating the Magic Minister Ring at that time...

The Spirit Realm, which cannot be intervened by the Gods, is both the external and the deep layers of the world, and even now, Fisher remains utterly ignorant of the nature possessed by the Spirit Realm, only knowing it is the origin of consciousness.

Then, what is the true meaning of this symbol?

Hearing this, Tangze Asuka pondered with distress for several seconds, then like swallowing a large amount of food without drinking water, reluctantly crammed those pieces of knowledge into her mind. The dry and bloated feeling made her head ache a bit, and she sighed, complaining,

"Indeed, the Otherworld is quite different from our world. Life Rank too, and so is magic and several divine rules... hmm, it feels all organized and orderly."

"Isn’t your world like that?"

"Hmm, of course not. Although our world doesn’t have so many magical things and such spectacular scenes, it always feels... hmm, I can’t quite describe it with ’freedom,’ just feels... a bit more random?"

Even if Tangze Asuka racked her brains, she couldn’t accurately express her current feelings with words due to her impoverished learning, but Fisher suddenly had a flash of insight, making his scalp instantly go numb as if Tangze Asuka’s words had opened up his meridians.

He seemed to have understood a bit about what this symbol represents.

The inverted eight symbol actually resembles a symbol forced to adapt to the concept it represents in Fisher’s world, because whether it’s the Spirit Realm beyond the reach of the Divine, Renie who helped break the fate rules, or the Infinite Magic that broke through the rule of a maximum of only fourteen rings, they are actually concepts that absolutely violate the rules.

Just like that terrifying scarlet Divine Fisher encountered in the Northern Realm, with its corrosion, destruction, and covetousness towards the real world...

The so-called "infinite," "boundless" is just the guise of that concept, and that concept has a more fundamental name,

[Chaos]

He suddenly realized that Chaos comes from the Spirit Realm, but its concept is very vague. If forced to specify a particular referent, Fisher’s first suspicion would be the scarlet Divine in the Spirit Realm, followed by the Mother Goddess, and finally these transferees.

The transferees were brought into this world by Chaos, and they are imbued with forbidden knowledge by Chaos. Moreover, every piece of knowledge in each Completion Manual is all [anti-rule], even magic is [anti-rule], but the magic bestowed by the Mother Goddess is the most stable among them. At least, from the history of magic use over a millennium, no mage has gone mad because of magic.
