Magic power

Chapter 688.

In accordance with the descriptions in the remaining documents in the maze ruins, **magic power** was a gift bestowed on uncommon people by the deities. Everyone who could use it must have a Key to unlock the Source of Magic Power. That was why only a few could use this prevailing power.

More importantly, each Key was different.

Some witches were extremely powerful, who could summon strong storms or make the dead come back to life, but some were only able to use their power to cook a bowl of oatmeal or mend broken clothes.

What caused such great differences among the Awakened?

This question had baffled the Union for hundreds of years until the remaining witches of the Union had found the documents in the maze ruins. By studying those records, they had found a vague explanation for this phenomenon.

The differences in the witches' abilities and power were caused by the differences between their Keys.

A Key had nothing to do with a witch's magic capacity but was closely related to the essence of the magic power. Every time a witch used her ability, she would turn part of the magic power into reality. As this was an extremely complicated process which could not be completed by the witch alone. The deities would also take part in it.

However, as the deities had a preference for some witches, the Keys varied in terms of how complex the processes were. Some were very simple, but some were exceptionally complicated. A Key's complexity determined the upper limit of the amount of magic power a witch could use.

No. 76 had not quite understood this explanation until Pasha had given her an example, the Magic Stones. A witch could use them to realize various magic effects without any change in her own Magic Cyclone. That meant the magic power used by different witches who had various abilities was actually the same thing. No matter she was an Extraordinary or a Senior Witches, she used the same power.

Chapter 1488

"Project Gateway was a success. Its results were almost identical to the calculated outcome. With the help of many civilizations, this universe's gravity was pulled apart eventually, producing an extremely tiny rift," God said slowly. "But Project Gateway was also a failure. The energy which surged in from another territory destroyed most of the sentient lifeforms, including the creator of Project Gateway."

Was that the final scene of the third act…

Roland recalled the extreme grief, as though he was connected to all the civilizations which had participated in the plan.

"That's right. This energy is what you call magic power."

"It's not light, nor does it have temperature. It's neither made up of particles or waves. To be simple, it comes from a space that has completely different laws from the universe we come from. Physics and math become meaningless in the face of such energy. In almost an instant, it influenced and changed the entire world."

[...]

"Magic power possesses a very unique set of laws. One of them is that it would change via will. Meanwhile, it will also change the mind of the possessor."

Roland was suddenly surprised. "What?"

"The first batch who had their lives change were the participants of Project Gateway. Their forms were warped and reconstructed, and after ten million years of evolution, they finally became a special crystalline body, which is the magic stones you use," God said calmly.

Chapter 1489

"Magic power can be driven by will, but it isn't as simple as having it turn into whatever you will it to be. After countless evolutions, it gradually could be used by life and turned into an energy under this world's laws. This also proves that the Creator's theory is accurate with just a little deviation in the method involved."

A little deviation… Roland fell silent. Perhaps no one could imagine that simply based on thought, an action that couldn't be seen or touched, could reduce entropy in reality. This was perhaps the most fascinating part about magic power.

"Usage of magic power still can't be devoid of usage method and calculations; however, it is incompatible with mathematics and other natural laws which we are already aware of.
