Shikama Doji was sitting in the Demon King's Academy class, visible only to Anos. This was strange, as no one else could see Shikama Doji. He was staring at Anos with an amused smile, pondering the magic of this world. The magic of this world seemed incredibly fascinating to Shikama Doji. The beings of this world had access to their source and every intelligent being in this world possessed this trait. What was impossible in the world of Fate was easily achievable in this world. The magical foundations and spells of this world were extremely powerful and complex. Resurrecting the dead or manipulating the laws of reality seemed like a simple task for beings like Anos. Any talented mage could create a powerful spell. Shikama Doji was certain that the magical system of this world was stronger than that of the Fate world. Moreover, powerful beings in this world were even more common than stray dogs.
The density of mana in this world was hundreds of times stronger than in Fate, even surpassing the Age of Gods. The gods of this world were more powerful than the gods of the Age of Gods. Unlike the gods of the Fate world, the gods of this world embodied the concept of order and therefore lacked human emotions. The various races of this world were also intriguing. Demons had long lifespans and were physically and magically stronger than humans, but contrary to expectations, they looked very similar to humans, with a few exceptions. Spirits were transcendent beings. The gods of this world were a fascinating species that tempted Shikama Doji to conduct experiments on them. There was also a silver sea in which worlds floated like bubbles. The deeper the world, the stronger its inhabitants, but there were exceptions like Anos. And the Abyss was a troublesome thing. Shikama Doji's eyes grew more serious as he thought about that malevolent vortex.
In these past few days, Shikama Doji had analyzed the laws of this world and managed to synchronize his clairvoyance with this world's timeline to use it again. He knew that after learning the magic of this world, he would have to act quickly. As an outsider, some of the higher beings of this world were not pleased with Shikama Doji's presence, such as Zinnia Shivaheld, the Great Demon King, or the other Demon Kings, or simply the Inviolable Waters. Even if Shikama Doji was confident he could defeat all of them in a fight, the damage caused would be immense. Shikama Doji was certain that if a fight broke out, Anos would join the battle against him. He stared at Anos with an amused look and stopped time.
"What's wrong, Outer God?" Anos fixed his gaze on Shikama Doji, curious as to why he had stopped time. Over the past few days, Shikama Doji had come to understand more about the personality of this Outer God. He was an annoying being, but still seemed dangerous. Anos had absolute confidence and was certain that if anything happened, he could stop Shikama Doji. Shikama Doji stared at Anos with his crimson eyes and made a proposal: "How about we make an interesting deal, Anos? Let's exchange knowledge. I'll give you my magic, and you give me yours." Shikama Doji replied in his usual tone and waited for Anos's response.
Anos pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm, it's an interesting deal. I accept." Like Shikama Doji, Anos was also interested in knowledge, especially wanting to know how the magic of another world worked and what its power system was like. In Shikama Doji's hand, a golden crystal formed, and he placed it on the table. This crystal contained 66 million years of Shikama Doji's knowledge. Anos also created a crystal containing his knowledge. Shikama Doji excitedly picked up the crystal and returned to his mad scientist persona.
Shikama Doji crushed the crystal, and Anos's vast knowledge flooded into his mind. Compared to Shikama Doji, Anos seemed like a child, but his achievements in magic were even greater than Shikama Doji's. Anos knew almost all the magic of his world. He was the great founder and the Demon King of Tyranny, appearing like an endless reservoir of knowledge that quenched Shikama Doji's thirsty soul. As Shikama Doji absorbed the knowledge, Anos also picked up the crystal and stared at the glowing golden crystal. He, too, crushed the crystal.
Suddenly, an infinite volume of knowledge poured into Anos's mind. If an ordinary being received this amount of information, their brain would instantly explode, but Anos began absorbing Shikama Doji's 66 million years of knowledge without any issues. Even Anos was astonished by the breadth and depth of this knowledge. Among this information, the method of creating the **Astral Core** caught his attention the most; a core that granted its user nearly infinite magical energy. Additionally, methods of **creating worlds**, **establishing fundamental laws**, and even **reality-rewriting spells** were part of this infinite treasure trove. Shikama Doji's knowledge was so comprehensive and complete that it seemed like a flawless and perfect system. Even Anos, who was a being beyond ordinary limitations, was amazed by this volume of knowledge.
Among this information, there were also sections dedicated to **science**. Methods of creating advanced technology were only a small part of this knowledge, but even this small part could transform a primitive civilization into a super-civilization in a short time. Shikama Doji's knowledge was not only about magic but also deeply and broadly covered the fundamental laws of the universe, physics, and even the philosophy of existence.
Meanwhile, Shikama Doji was also amazed by Anos. As expected, Anos was the best candidate to receive and absorb this knowledge. With the information obtained from Anos, Shikama Doji was able to further perfect his magical system. Most spells were not particularly useful for beings at Shikama Doji's level, but they were not useless either. This new knowledge strengthened the foundations of his understanding and allowed him to gain a deeper comprehension of the universe. Unlike beings born with the power to destroy and create worlds, Shikama Doji had reached this level of power step by step through immense effort over his long journey.
This exchange of knowledge not only elevated Anos but also Shikama Doji to a new level. Both beings now had a deeper understanding of the universe and its laws, and this was only the beginning of the transformations awaiting them.
