"Seriously?"
"Very much so. While the scale, the material, and the purpose is different, the method of programming magic is very much the same." Marcus said in an excited and very serious tone. He likes this thing a lot!
"Master...does this mean you could… theoretically speaking… make your very own system like Heaven have?" Serafall asked with a gulp.
Her mind was going thousands of miles per hour, as she realised the possibilities of this! He could control the flow of souls, Sacred Gears! Or even create his very own angels!?
"Theoretically I can do anything if I put my mind to it, will I do it? Probably not. Making a Pantheon of my own sounds like a ridiculous amount of work. I only need to look at your situation Sera, that is all I need to know that it's simply not worth it.
The gains dwarfs the losses, I prefer making physical things not creating religious pantheons…"
"I see…"
She said with a distant look. What could such a system do for her race? Maybe help with Pillar magics? The possibilities, in a way, are endless. Now she needs to find a way to convince him to do it.
"So, Solomon knew about Heaven's system? I didn't think they were that close." Serafall asked absentmindedly.
Snort
"Of course not. He only knew how to make Sacred Gears, more like he… remembered what Big G said about them and used that to make his rings." Marcus explained to her while testing the unique looking circles on the remnant diamonds.
"Then… how did you learn about Heaven's system?" She asked with wide eyes. This doesn't make sense to her.
"In simple terms, they were talking about the engine of a car. At this point, I already know how the engine looks, so the only thing I need to do is design and make the car. And the best part? I can design it however I want." Marcus said that to her with a smile. A smile telling her that he might or might not possibly just come up with something which will make everyone gulp down in astonishment.
"Isn't that just great?" He asked her with an even brighter smile, like he found a truly fascinating tool.
"Yes… great indeed…" She said with a small gulp of her own.
After the discussion on Heaven's system, Serafall continued to watch his progress. She was able to pick something up herself. Through all of this, she was able to get some understanding on the whole magic-energy stuff. With Marcus' explanations she was able to understand more about magic in general.
As someone who solely uses water and ice magic to fight while occasionally using devil magic on casual stuff, she'd never delved too deeply into the whole energy thingies. While her Master? He was already a monster in this whole magic synergy system.
She remembered that Solomon was known as the King of Magic who knew all the energies and found a way to negate and take over other beings' magic and use it against them!
An ability never seen before, especially since he could do it with all known energies, not just magic in general.
If this was true and Marcus can replicate it, then her Master in combat will be a monster not seen for over 3000 years.
Eventually, the testing was done and Serafall was ready to watch how the large diamond will become the core of the barrier system.
It took around two weeks of constant testing, at least that's what the Black-haired Satan counted. She has a feeling that her Master did even more testing when she was not around as the remnant diamonds were all gone by this point, turned into diamond dust.
The whole Summoning room was now turned into a ritual room, the circles were drawn from magic itself and Serafall counted at least 14 different runic languages which were used.
To her knowledge, her Master only knew 7, now he knows 14? What is he even doing in school at this point?
"Well, are you ready? This is going to get a little bit shaky." Marcus said to her after doing his last check-up for the ritual.
"How shaky are we talking about?" The current Leviathan asked him with slight trepidation.
"The type where I needed to reinforce the whole garage's structural integrity." He simply told her.
"..."
"..."
"...Shouldn't you, we, do this kind of experiment only when there are barriers already in place?" She asked nervously. Nervous that they will be discovered.
"We are doing this one so that we can do bigger ones in future." He said in an obvious tone.
"But, with the size of these circles, the drain in magic would be felt all over the whole of East Europe!" She pointed out the obvious after seeing the overlapping circles in the room.
"Drain? What are you talking about? Why would I need to drain anything? I make stuff…recycling things is one of my expertise. I won't be draining anything. I will be using the M.T.M method, the last experiment with Castor led me to this."
"The gun experiment led you to this? How does that even work?" She had an extremely confused look, Serafall wanted to comprehend how a gun leads to Diamond-shaped core's birth?
"The gun was a test for the M.T.M technique… all I need to power this? Is a brush of my finger. We are going completely green, Sera. For real."
He did exactly what he just said, he simply brushed his index finger on the white circle next to him on a wall.
His motion was absorbed by the circle which then sent it to the largest circle in the room.
What Serafall saw next was probably the most... insane thing she has ever seen in her entire life.
The energy from the motion absorbing circle entered the largest circle and then started rushing forward, making a lap around the whole room-size circle. Getting bigger and bigger.
Each lap around the large circle causes the other inner circles to come to life one by one…
This meant that the largest circle generates more energy each lap, one by one powering each of them.
Before long the diamond in the middle received the magic…
And then it happened…
The Diamond started to float and with it, the circles started to float too…
Then suddenly the ground started shaking, the amount of energy being generated was considerable. And it only continued to grow rapidly!
Serafall saw the amount of circles that were around this generator… she counted at least 40 something layers and each layer had multiple of those circles…
She might not be the best with maths, unlike her baby sister... but! She knew that it was a lot of circles!
Then… All of a sudden, the circles started to shrink towards the diamond core.
The black-haired devil lady immediately understood what this meant! Now, she understood how the core worked, all those circles will enter the diamond transforming into a barrier heart. This will probably be the most powerful barrier core she has ever seen.
And it's only the beginning. Serafall has this certain feeling that there will be more in the future.
A few moments later, it was done. The diamond glowed, bright white light consuming the whole room as it shined with its radiance.
After the blinding light settled down, and the current Leviathan was finally able to open her eyes, she saw how the beautiful diamond core was releasing whitish particles.
'This looks so beautiful! I wonder... Could I get this particle stuff for my place? Preferably blue? Then red for Sir-chan, green for Ajuka-chan! Hehehe…' She giggled inwardly, before immediately snapping out of her trance over the beauty and realising the repercussions of such an item.
As it is now, the Underworld doesn't have any pillar house that could produce such specialised barriers.
Meaning that if this gets out…
Sigh
'What's the point? everyone would want a part of him. This just cements it more and more… Serafall just focus on the fact that you have the best shot of getting him yourself! ...For the Devil Race of course….' She slightly blushed as she realised, he was now at her height!
'Oh, his growth is so fast!'
