Chapter 247 The final perfection, the spell to kill gods!
In the residence of the Nine-Ring Gotadya, he had not rested for several days.
At this moment, he was sitting in front of the desk in a meditative state, immersed in the deepest meditation.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw the prompt on his panel.
[You have studied the 11th level spell "XXX", skill experience +1]
[Required experience value 5/20480]
"According to the research over the past few days, if I focus on creating spells and don't do anything else, my daily experience points will probably be +1."
"And to create this 11th-level spell to the 20480th level, the total experience required is 56, which is about years."
"And all this is based on the premise that I haven't had any rest in the past 56 years. But even if I have the strength of the Eight Rings now, I can't go without food or drink, sleep or rest for 56 years to conduct research wholeheartedly."
"Neither my body nor my mind can do this, so according to the final calculation, it may take about 70 years before I can actually complete this spell."
Deya frowned and fell into thought.
If it were under normal circumstances, let alone 70 years, even if it took 700 years to complete this spell, it would be worth celebrating for both Deya and the Nine Rings Tower.
Because this is already the final step of this spell.
Especially for a mage, 70 years is really not too long. Mages are different from other extraordinary professionals. Even if they have not reached the eighth ring, they have many ways to prolong their lifespan.
But now, for the Nine-Ring Tower and Deya, time is so urgent that he does not have 70 years left.
Seventy years is enough for the Mother of All Living Things to awaken, and when that god awakens, he will surely clean up the entire world.
By then, even the Nine-Ring Tower, which has been hiding ten thousand meters in the sky, will be affected.
Although the Nine-Ring Tower is strong after thousands of years of accumulation, it can never be a match for a god. In the end, the tower has no choice but to escape into the gap between planes.
"Time. What I need is time."
Deya whispered, and he quickly thought that if what was needed was time, then there was only one person who could give it to him.
Deya made a prompt decision, left his residence and went to the bedroom where Lamia was.
"咚咚-"
Deya knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"it's me."
"come in."
Deya opened the door and walked in.
Lamia was wearing a black dress as usual, like a beautiful and cold ice sculpture. At this moment, she was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the rolling sea of clouds in the distance.
After Deya arrived, she seemed to have known what Deya wanted to say, and said in a cold voice: "Are you here to find time?"
"That's right, Lamia. You are the only one who can do this now."
Deya walked behind Lamia while saying this and gently hugged the petite and beautiful girl in front of him who looked like a doll.
"How long will it take you?"
"That depends on how much time you can give me."
"I can give you as much time as I want, as long as I pay enough."
When Deya heard the witch's words, he hesitated and said, "Seventy years, how short can you compress it to with the lowest cost?"
The witch lowered her head, thinking silently, and then said: "Three years, I can make you experience 70 years, but in reality only three years will pass.
If you want to make it even shorter, you can do that if you need to.”
Although Lamia did not explain it clearly, Deya knew that if he really did that, the price Lamia would pay would be beyond imagination.
And Deya also knew that if he really made a request, Lamia would pay the price without hesitation.
He said decisively: "Three years is enough time. I will go and talk to Raymond and the Nine Rings Tower and ask them to hold off the insect swarm for three years. I think they should be able to do it.
If we can’t even do this, then there’s no point in resisting in the first place.”
The witch's eyes were as bright and clear as black gemstones. She glanced at Deya and said, "If you do this, I'm afraid more people will die."
Deya said without hesitation: "But if I don't do this, you will be the one who gets hurt. If I put you together with those who might die, I will choose you without hesitation."
Lamia chuckled, which made Deya stunned for a moment. He thought he had seen it wrong.
Because from the time he knew Lamia until now, she seemed to have never smiled.
In the past, Lamia only wanted to avenge her parents, but after killing the witch from the Witch Cult, she felt so empty.
But today, his empty emotions seemed to have been completely filled, which made her seem more like a human being.
"I haven't laughed for a long time. Doesn't my laugh look good?"
Deya's look made Lamia frown slightly.
"No, you look pretty when you smile, and you should smile more often to make yourself happier."
"I am very happy now."
Lamia said this as she moved closer to Deya and gave him a gentle hug.
"I will activate my abilities and give you enough time to prepare."
"You're not going to let me eat you again?"
Deya has actually always been resistant to this kind of thing, but he had no choice but to do it before.
"No, I have other ways to give you time now."
Lamia shook her head and said.
Hearing this, Deya was relieved. He said, "Then I will go and tell Master Adolf and the others not to disturb me for the next three years. I want to immerse myself in the study of magic."
Seeing Deya was about to leave, Lamia suddenly asked: "Deya, will we win this time?"
Deya paused and said with a smile: "Believe me, victory will definitely belong to us."
The witch whispered: "The Great Witch was born from the corpse of the original wizard. She also inherited the will of the original wizard and wanted to protect the rise of mankind.
And I have also been influenced by the Great Witch over the long course of time, and I also hope that people can be safe and sound and get through this crisis.
But if it really comes to a crisis, I hope you, Deya, don't fight to the death. At worst, we can escape from this material world together.
Compared to other living beings in this material world, we have choices, which is much more than them."
Deya stared at Lamia steadily and replied, "I have always cared about my life. If it really comes to that moment, I promise you that I will never risk my life. Let's run away together." Lamia laughed and said, "Okay, I'll remember your words."
……
In the high tower where Master Adolf was, the Lord of the Purple Tower was still sitting among the piles of books. He was flipping through the spell book in his hand while tasting the pastries on the plate.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Master Adolf wiped the grease off his hands on his magic robe, turned a page, and asked:
"Deya, are you here to tell me good news or bad news?"
“There’s good news and bad news.”
"You don't mean to say that the good news is that you are confident that you can perfect the spell, but the bad news is that it will take too long?"
Master Adolf said jokingly.
But even though it was just a joke, Master Adolf actually thought so too.
Even if Deya really has the ability to perfect the twelve-ring spell, he definitely cannot do it in a short period of time. It will definitely take a long time.
Over the past four or five thousand years, countless senior wizards have spent their entire lives trying to develop their spells only to the eleventh level.
Deya couldn't help laughing. "Master Adolf, you are right. According to my initial calculations, it will take me about 70 years to complete this spell."
"Seventy years?"
Master Adolf exclaimed, "...This is already very short."
Then, he frowned again: "But for seventy years, if we are just facing those insect swarms, the Nine Rings Tower can still deal with it, but if the Mother of All Living Things wakes up, then we don't have the ability to resist a god for 70 years, so in the end, do we still have to run?"
Master Adolf had no sense of shame for running away. What was wrong with running away if he couldn't win? Was he still fighting with others here?
Besides, this is actually the real decision of the Nine Rings Tower. As for Deya's ability to perfect magic, in fact, no one among the mages in the tower believes it. It is too far-fetched.
Deya said at this time: "This is my initial estimate, and Lamia, as the witch of time, has the ability to give others time.
In other words, if you give me three years, I can completely perfect this magic."
Deya's voice was firm and confident, causing Master Adolf to look at him suddenly and ask in a low voice: "This is not the time to joke, Deya, are you really sure it will only take three years?"
"Well, I'm sure that three years is enough. I think the Nine Rings Tower will be able to stop the Zerg for three years no matter what, right? Unless the Mother of All Living Things wakes up within three years, then I have nothing to say."
Master Adolf thought for a while and said, "We can't tell exactly when the Mother of All Living Things will wake up, but She probably won't wake up within three years.
Well, in that case, let's change our plan and use some of our strength to support the Empire and hold off the Zerg for three years.
Three years later, if you succeed, we will have other options. If you fail, we will run away immediately!"
Master Adolf felt that this would not affect the plan of the Nine-Ring Tower, so he made a prompt decision.
"I want you to talk to Raymond about this matter as well." Deya said.
“No problem, just leave it to me, the old man. Anyway, even if you don’t tell me, the old guy will lead the empire to stop the Zerg.
He doesn't have many years left to live, and he has developed feelings for the empire over the past few hundred years. Even if the Nine-Ring Tower decides to escape, he is not going to follow the tower, but will resist to the death.
After knowing that you have the confidence to succeed, I am afraid this old guy will be happier than anyone else."
Master Adolf said jokingly.
Deya bowed slightly and left.
After Deya left, Master Adolf shook his head and said with emotion: "This kid is really unexpected. He can even do such a thing."
Just after leaving the tall tower, in the corridor connecting the towers, Deya saw Patricia sitting in mid-air with her legs crossed.
"Why are you here, Patricia?"
Deya squatted down and asked.
Patricia's smart eyes flickered slightly and said, "I am here to wish you success, Deya. When you succeed, as the 'forbidden wonder' that has signed a contract with you, I will also restore my original power.
When the time comes, I will go with you to face the Mother of All Living Things. I will not let you fight alone. Don't worry, victory will definitely belong to us, and all you have to do is become a 'god'!"
Deya said: "I would have done the same thing even if you hadn't told me this, but don't you need to go and discuss with those people in the tower and ask them to return your limbs?"
"Hmph, there's no need to discuss it with them. As long as I recover my strength, they won't be able to restrain my limbs." Patricia said proudly.
Deya comes to the black tower.
The former Lord of the Black Tower, Irving, is temporarily being resurrected, as the Black Tower cannot exist without its master.
Therefore, as Irvin's disciple and the most qualified person to become the Lord of the Black Tower, Deya temporarily took over the duties of the Lord of the Black Tower.
Arriving at the Black Tower, Deya asked all the mages in the Black Tower to leave temporarily. Then he activated the Black Tower's autonomous defense settings, completely sealing off the entire Black Tower.
He will be here for the next three years, without any interruptions, to perfect his spells!

……
In the United Kingdom of England and Susaitani, Deya's father, now Cavendish I, met with envoys from the Narbo Empire.
After the empire's envoy explained the pros and cons and went down to rest, Ruston Cavendish said to the current Pope Baird of the Eternal Church:
“I received a notice from Deya that this crisis will affect the entire human community. Even if we are on this island, we cannot escape the danger.
Even if our strength is weaker than the Empire, we should still send troops to help."
Baird bowed and said, "Lady Eternal has given the oracle. The Eternal Church can send out its troops at any time."
Cavendish I nodded and said, "I will let Gavin lead the team himself, but Deya also said that the main force will still be the Empire's army. We only need to do some logistical work."
Compared with the Empire, the strength of the United Kingdom is indeed far behind, and all they can do is to help.
……
In the Narpo Empire, Raymond also received the notice from Adolf.
"Three years? If it's just three years, there will be no problem in keeping the empire intact. In the end, I still have to rely on you, teacher."
Raymond sighed, and he looked at the emperor of the empire and said: "Prepare to launch a national mobilization. State the pros and cons. This will be the biggest crisis in the history of the empire.
If this crisis can be overcome, the empire will truly last forever, but if it cannot be overcome, then there will be no future at all.
At the same time, pay attention to those nobles. If anyone dares to make trouble at this time, kill them directly. Now is not the time to talk about rules and order with them."
The emperor of the empire responded: "As you command, ancestor!"
