Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 1156: 1156 Debt Solidified

Stephanie strolled in a few minutes later in cat form, and hopped up on Wolfe’s shoulder.

“Alright, we are ready to go. Lead the way, and leave the portal open. It will make it easier if I have to pull some extra mana from the others.”

Now that they were spread all over the world, or at least some of them were, he wouldn’t deplete the mana in just the castle region if he had to pull something to do the remodelling.

The Portal opened, and Wolfe felt the mana flowing from the castle to the other planet.

He quickly cast a barrier to stop the flow so that the Castle didn’t get imbalanced, but that only highlighted the dead state of this planet.

There was no plant life, no birds, no bugs. The clouds were a toxic orange, and most concerning, there was absolutely zero mana in the air anywhere.

[This place cannot sustain life like this. Even cleansed, anything you send will die from the lack of energy. Living things NEED some mana.] Stephanie reminded him.

[I wonder if it’s possible to bring this world back to life.] Wolfe replied.

Wolfe thought about the answer for a while, and then opened multiple portals into the sky, along with an extra one home.

There was energy in space, and no inhabited planets that he could detect elsewhere in this system. Somewhere was bound to have energy that could be converted to mana.

Curiously, it seemed that the mana from this world had all been blown out of the atmosphere. There was no sign of an explosion, but the energy was hovering over the planet like a ring of invisible debris.

“Something very strange happened here.” Wolfe muttered, while Petros shuddered and looked around in disgust.

“I hadn’t been here myself, but it is so much worse than the exploration scryers described. I can feel it sucking at my mana, as if it’s an insatiable force, starved for eons.”

“Could this planet have been hit by some sort of outside force? A space-based monster? Whatever it was, this is creepy. But I can bring the energy back as we cleanse the world back to normal.” Wolfe noted.

Stephanie nodded, and they got to work, using the energy that was hovering around the planet to rebuild the world itself.

The first array that Wolfe created was a modified mana gathering array. Not to gather mana from the planet, as there was none, but to gather it from dozens of points in space and distribute it to the planet.

At first, the mana would be weak, hardly strong enough to support life. But with a Garden Charm that Stephanie would cast over the world, using up much of the meagre mana supply, they should be able to both keep the people alive and grow crops.

It was a good thing that Wolfe had asked for the second century’s worth of revenue because it would take that long before anyone could use more than minimal mana on this world.

With an added layer of energy conversion in the array, Wolfe managed to improve the mana gathering to ten times what it had been, so they could finish the work and have the world somewhat habitable today, but it would still be decades before there would be a magic user born on this world.

Perhaps even longer than that.

Wolfe drew heavily from the Pentacle members after a brief warning, setting the spell to reshape the world, then focused on only using mana that he could gather from the portals that led to space.

He wouldn’t drain his world that was only just recovering from a mana shortage to feed this one.

With Stephanie’s help, the clouds began to turn white, the toxic sludge on the ground was purified, and eventually the oceans began to turn clear once again.

The task was a monumental one, and even after draining his mana cores to a quarter of their total capacity, it still took Wolfe two days to finish the process.

He couldn’t recover his mana naturally, there was none to take from the atmosphere, and he didn’t have large amounts of monster meat to convert. But he was getting better every hour at converting cosmic energy into mana.

All energy came from space, and from the stars over them. That was the essence of life on a planet. Even with mana, unless there was a truly massive amount of it, you still needed that star to sustain life.

But the cosmic radiation contained traces of mana, and could be transformed into far more.

So, when the sun should have been up, the sky was still dark as Wolfe used every bit of it to finish his work and form a mana core for the planet. A source that would eternally recycle the energy of the living things on this world so that life would be sustainable without additional magic.

There was no diagram, no premade data on how to do it. Wolfe was simply guessing. But the further he progressed in his understanding, the more clear it became that this was how a world should naturally operate on its own.

This was an essential element, as much as fire or lightning. Mana was an element of the world that was missing here, that every inhabitable world should contain. If you eliminated even one element from the world, the balance and order would collapse.

But now, this world had all that it could need, and Stephanie’s eyes were lighting up with joy as she discovered more about the basic creation of life.

It was something that a Witch needed to know to reach the Ninth Rank and become a Queen, but without an experience as extreme as this, it was one that was nearly impossible to understand.

At the end of the fifth day. The world was back in balance, except for the fact that there was no life on it yet. It was primed and ready for life, breathing softly with a faint pulse of mana, but the soft soil at their feet was barren.

“Petros, do you understand the limitations of this place?” Wolfe asked, unsure how the other man viewed the world.

“When we arrived, it had no magic at all. I can sense that you’ve managed to bring enough here that the people and their crops will survive, but not even a simple water spell will be possible for most of them.

But it also lacks even the most basic of microbes. There is nothing in the sea. No plankton to support larger creatures, nothing in the soil for the insects to eat until they can compost plant matter.

I think that I am going to have to ask your Witch to help me here. It is more than I had expected, and while the world looks ready for life, too much needs to be brought from outside to make a colony viable as more than a geodome.”

Stephanie smirked on Wolfe’s shoulder, where she had been napping. [I’m surprised he knows what a Geodome is. He must have learned it from the beastkin who visited the Frozen Wastes.]

[Play nice. Let’s get this world set up with life, and prepare it to generate our retirement fund.]
