"The specifications of this Mage Tower are all built according to the highest standards of our Six Rings World. The Supreme Mages, including my teacher, all opened their secret vaults and took out their collections, so it could be built in such a short time!"
"Look, we have strengthened the tower's structure! The load-bearing parts are all made of Black Crystal Rock taken from the Armster Mountains, which is five times stronger than ordinary rocks. In addition, we have inscribed seven kinds of anti-corrosion magic circles on the tower body, which can resist a certain degree of pollution under normal conditions!"
'Arcane' talked incessantly, introducing this Mage Tower that had consumed the painstaking efforts of the Six Rings World.
Shinji smiled and nodded, "Not bad. Where is Shion?"
'Arcane' pointed to the top of the tower, "Miss Shion is right inside the tower!"
Before long, Shinji and 'Arcane' arrived at the top of the Mage Tower and met Shion, who had been settled here.
Upon seeing Shinji, Shion hopped over to greet him, "Why did you come so late!"
Shinji asked, "How is your mastery of the Magic Ring?"
"Look!"
Shion waved her hand proudly, and magic circles flew out of her body one by one, then intertwined layer upon layer.
"Eh!"
Shinji's gaze focused, and he let out a soft sound of surprise.
With a casual wave, Shion activated as many as twelve magic circles. However, although these magic circles were intertwined layer upon layer, they did not completely condense into a Magic Ring.
'Arcane' smiled and explained at this time, "My teacher marveled at Miss Shion's talent. She believed that condensing the Magic Ring immediately would waste Miss Shion's talent, so she suggested letting Miss Shion master as many magic circles as possible first, and finally condense all the mastered magic circles together at once to cast the Magic Ring!"
Shion nodded repeatedly, "Uh-huh, I have mastered twelve kinds of magic circles now!"
"Impressive!"
Shinji smiled.
He understood Supreme Mage Twinkling Star's intention. Because the difficulty of condensing the Magic Ring for the first time would be relatively lower. If one waited until the Magic Ring was successfully cast before adding the number of magic circles to it, the difficulty would increase geometrically.
Supreme Mage Twinkling Star knew Shion's talent well, so she didn't want Shion to rush into condensing the Magic Ring now, which would make adding magic circles to it incredibly difficult later.
After learning about Shion's cultivation progress, Shinji was very satisfied.
Shion was a bit unhappy and muttered, "Being locked in this Mage Tower every day, unable to go out and play, I'm almost dying of boredom!"
'Arcane' was a bit embarrassed and hurriedly explained to Shinji, "Captain, I..."
Shinji waved his hand, signaling that 'Arcane' didn't need to explain.
For the Six Rings World, Shion, an outsider, was a source of pollution. So naturally, the fewer people who knew about her existence, the better.
This was not only to protect the Six Rings World but also to protect the Shinobi World.
So, although Shion had been in the Six Rings World for several months, the people she had come into contact with were actually very few. Apart from Supreme Mage Twinkling Star who guided her in magic studies, the only ones she had contact with on a daily basis were 'Lampbearers' like 'Arcane'.
Seemingly thinking of something, Shinji suddenly asked 'Arcane', "How did you introduce Shion to other mages?"
'Arcane' replied, "Please rest assured. We forged an identity for Miss Shion. The mages only know that Miss Shion is my teacher's disciple and is expected to strive for the position of Supreme Mage. They know nothing about other information."
Shinji asked, "Is there no problem doing this?"
'Arcane' smiled, "Most mages live alone. Except for discussing magic with each other, their social interactions are very limited. So even if a few individuals are suspicious, it's not hard to cover up. Moreover, for Miss Shion's Mage Tower, we don't plan to install a mage group. The auxiliary work will be handled by 'Lampbearers', which can further reduce Miss Shion's impact on the Six Rings World."
Hearing 'Arcane's orderly arrangements, Shinji nodded reassuringly. Then he smiled and asked Shion, "After becoming a Supreme Mage, what title do you plan to take?"
"Title?!" Shion put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't need any title. I'll just be called Supreme Archmage Shion, hahaha!"
"Supreme Mage Shion... hmm, sounds pretty good too!"
Shinji nodded, approving Shion's idea.
After comforting Shion a bit, Shinji and 'Arcane' left the Mage Tower and went to the nearby 'Lampbearer' camp to hold a small meeting.
The content of the meeting was naturally about the Hegemon!
'Radiance' Alice first introduced to Shinji the changes in the Six Rings World over the past few months, as well as the situation of the 'Moon' created by Shinji, which sealed the residual limb of the Reproductive Hegemon.
After the introduction, Alice said worriedly, "The Reproductive Hegemon seems to have given up on the Six Rings World. Our idea of inducing the Reproductive Hegemon to confront the Plague Hegemon might not work."
Shinji shook his head, "No, it won't give up."
With the continuous improvement of his strength, he was very clear about the importance of the Reproductive Hegemon's residual limb he sealed with 'Chibaku Tensei'.
Although it was just a residual limb, it was still part of the Reproductive Hegemon's core power. The Reproductive Hegemon would absolutely not give up easily. The reason the opponent put on a posture of giving up was likely just because the Plague Hegemon was too dominant, forcing it to retreat temporarily.
But Shinji was very certain that the Reproductive Hegemon would never allow its own residual limb to be devoured by the Plague Hegemon.
It should be known that once the Six Rings World fell into the belly of the Plague Hegemon, the 'Chibaku Tensei' sealing the Reproductive Hegemon would also be swallowed by the Plague Hegemon in one gulp, and the Reproductive Hegemon's residual limb inside would naturally be absorbed by the Plague Hegemon as well.
If this happened, the Reproductive Hegemon would no longer have the qualification to challenge the Plague Hegemon.
'Radiance' Alice didn't know why Shinji was so certain and asked, "Then when will the Reproductive Hegemon intervene?"
"That is hard to judge at the moment." Pausing, Shinji said, "However, previously, the Plague Hegemon chose to attack the Reproductive Hegemon when we repelled it. Then it's highly likely the Reproductive Hegemon will choose the same opportunity."
'Arcane' pondered for a moment, "So the key breaking point is still how we repel the Plague Hegemon?"
"En!"
Shinji nodded slightly.
If he couldn't repel the Plague Hegemon and cause it a certain amount of damage, then don't expect the Reproductive Hegemon to intervene. So the key to everything was still how to repel the Plague Hegemon alone.
'Greedy Wolf' Hengo frowned, "But the problem now is that the Plague Hegemon refuses to attack inside. We can't do anything about it!"
Shinji already had an idea in his heart, but he didn't rush to speak. Because he felt that now was not a good time to face the Plague Hegemon directly. He planned to wait until he had nurtured more 'Chakra Fruits' before having a decisive battle with the Plague Hegemon!
