Chapter 19: The Omega Adept
"Since this staff can also be charged in the sun, let's just call it the Lightbringer."
In the middle of the night, it took Chen Zhou several hours to finally get the design idea of the basic staff and the shape of the 2 versions with a total of 8 forms, and finally ended the project of making magic items tonight with the name of the temporary abandonment that was strongly opposed by the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks.
But at this stage, there is still a long way to go before the official production of the staff, after all, hundreds of thousands, millions are not a small number, and it is inevitable that it will be wasted and must be planned reasonably.
Putting away the precious design drawings for the time being, Chen Zhou looked up at the time and found that they had worked overtime until two o'clock in the morning.
But the three of them are not alone, Gotham City is a city that never sleeps, and he believes that at this point, there must be many people who work in programming or design work together mentally to work together.
"Let's go to bed while listening to the news."
Although he no longer needed sleep a few months ago, he has been maintaining his old habits in order to get a good rest.
"Okay, where are we going to play tomorrow?"
"How about resting at home, rat rat, I want to get the design of the staff done sooner."
Chen Zhou nodded, he thought the same way.
Tomorrow will be the weekend, and there will be many people and cars everywhere, so it is better to be at home and cats first, and everyone will go to work on weekdays and then go out to play.
Lily thought it was true, she had never seen such a big city and so many people before.
"Also, there may be too many people on holidays, so let's try to make some cakes and cookies at home!"
"Where is Gotham City now, if you want to go out during the holiday Golden Week on Liu Yi's side, then there are a lot of people, and people can completely use 'tide' to describe it at that time."
Lily tried to think about that scene, and suddenly didn't want to go.
It's true that the carnival dragon likes to be lively, but there are so many people that it can't be lively at all, and it's just just simple heat and excitement.
"So let's go out on weekdays, then again, there are very few people in the wizarding world like Asta?"
While talking, Chen Zhou turned on the radio to find out if there was a more relaxed talk show at night.
Lily, on the other hand, thought for a moment and gave a reply that she didn't know.
Before this, she had basically only played in the various layers of Elysium, and she hadn't really been to the main material plane much.
"It's not too much to talk about, it's better to say that there are too many people in places like Blue Star."
The rats who have seen the world sighed that such a highly developed, well-welfare, and disaster-free world is like a "petri dish".
Chen Zhou has some opinions on the description of "fewer disasters and fewer difficulties".
"Magic has always been an unstable factor, and the increase in individual strength will alienate ordinary people from society, so most of what you call the 'wizarding world' is actually a bit sparsely populated."
First, the presence of magical energy causes plants, beasts, corpses, and even magic itself to mutate, making them deadly killers.
Professions with supernatural powers (in this case, spellcasters) have a declining need for others, and their need for resources increases indefinitely when they are separated from society and live in isolation to study spells.
This will lead to a decline in empathy and empathy, and the ability to treat civilization and society as some kind of resource.
"Powerful mages sacrifice a country as a material and conquer the world just to facilitate access to resources...... There are so many examples of this, that even without a transcendent powerhouse, strife between professionals can lead to a massive loss of population."
The technology of many societies generally serves the upper class, so natural disasters and man-made disasters often cause incalculable losses to the people at the bottom.
It's quite outrageous, powerful professionals and ordinary people are hardly the same species anymore.
"I don't think intelligent beings can be separated from society and civilization."
It is precisely because of this that Chen Zhou will naturally not reject the civilization gods and urban gods on Asta's side, and let the priests of the other party come and go in the river at will.
"And what about legendary mages who are equivalent to civilization in their own right?"
Chen Zhou slumped on the sofa, too lazy to think about it so much......
"Good evening, Gotham City!
"Don't worry about what talk shows you listen to, because life in Gotham City is more exciting than talk shows.
"Now there is an urgent message, just five minutes ago, a violent explosion occurred in the residential area of the Upper West Side, blowing up a large crater with a radius of more than ten meters.
"One of the two superpowered robbers, at the cost of his own life, set off a fireworks for everyone.
"And what about the other? Ran in the direction of Chinatown.
"According to expert analysis, the remaining one may be an omega-level superpower, which means that her power may be able to easily destroy the human race!"
Omega-level superpowers are the name given to the most powerful superpowers by Bluestar scientists so far.
Manipulating time, distorting space, decomposing and reorganizing matter, integrating and manipulating vectors, simply adding or subtracting heat in defiance of the laws of physics, or erasing the "existence" of anyone and everything.
Superpowers of this level can no longer be taken for granted, and their power has made them truly "new humans".
"For residents outside of Chinatown, we can start to see if tomorrow's death lottery numbers will reach a new all-time high.
"As for the residents who live in Chinatown and the neighborhood, if you want me to say it, run away.
"By the way, the superpowered person currently wanted by the police is a black man named Lincoln, and his abilities are very dangerous!
"Kenny, who talks on stand-up comedy in the studio, has started to complain, so I'll just talk about his abilities once.
"Listen up, Lincoln's superpower is capable of manipulating time to a certain extent, and he can easily send people, matter, and energy in whole or in part into the future!
"Good night, I'm your old friend Adam, see you tomorrow morning's death lotto!"
“……”
「……」
『……』
"Houli Crab, I was just about to sleep, why did an omega-level mutant come running?"
Chen Zhou almost called oh my god.
"Isn't the ability too strong compared to the arcane, I haven't learned a few time-related spells at the 5th level now, they have only mutated for a few days, and they can even do time exile?"
How can this supernatural person be like a warlock, and the trajectory of becoming stronger is illogical and unreasonable!
"Don't worry, it's a level 3 ability called Time Jump."
Although it sounds a bit outrageous that a third-order supernatural appeared not long after the collective awakening, this kind of thing is just as unreasonable as a warlock.
In the early stage, you can advance by going with the flow, and in the later stage, you can upgrade in place with a wishful explosion.
"Time jump?"
Chen Zhou immediately checked his Ten Thousand Laws Collection, and this ability could only make the target jump into the future for a while.
This ability is ridiculous.
