139: Dual-system fusion experiment
Now that Chiba Shinichi's actions had been exposed, it was absolutely impossible for the Chiba Family to remain within The Watchers.
As the actual Controllers of all Europa, the Augustus Family was bound to pay a significant price because of the Chiba Family this time.
The Watchers had seven major bases across Planet Blue, and the one on the Europa continent was considered second only to the City of Vigilance.
There were four Demigods there alone (including the Clan Chief of the Chiba Family).
This time, the Chiba Family would inevitably face a direct investigation by The Watchers due to Chiba Shinichi's exposure. It was almost a certainty that the Chiba Family would be kicked out, and that Demigod might even be forcefully suppressed.
This incident served as a wake-up call for everyone. In the end, Jiang Ming had no choice but to issue a notice requiring everyone to swear by their Soul to never betray The Watchers.
Unknowingly, a week had passed since the incident with Chiba Shinichi. Today, Zhou Xing directly notified Jiang Ming to come to the training camp.
Experiments on multi-element divinity Fusion had been ongoing. Now, Zhou Xing had achieved a 93% success rate for dual-element divinity Fusion and had summarized a detailed set of theories.
The next step was for an actual person to try it.
Furthermore, by using Zhou Xing's method, even if the Fusion failed, the possibility of a divinity explosion would be greatly reduced.
Upon receiving Zhou Xing's notification, Jiang Ming was beyond excited.
Arriving at the laboratory now, he flipped through the "Dual-element Divinity Power Fusion Theory" compiled by Zhou Xing, the excitement in his eyes impossible to suppress.
"A 93% success rate..." His fingers trembled slightly. "If this set of theories can be popularized, the overall strength of human Awakened Ones will increase by at least several times."
Standing to the side, Zhou Xing appeared quite calm at this moment: "Currently, I've only been able to work out dual-element Fusion, and only for common divinity fragments. Fragments like Light, Darkness, Life, Space, and Time are too rare to be used for experiments."
"However, I think this is enough for the time being. We can worry about the rest later."
"This is already enough!" Jiang Ming slammed the documents shut, a fiery light flashing in his eyes. "We'll start with dual-element Fusion. Awakened Ones below the Celestial Phenomenon Realm will try according to your method. Once successful, we will gradually let people of higher Realms begin."
Following that, he issued an order, intending to start the trials with the students of the training camp.
With the Soul oath in place, no one would proactively leak the method.
As for the legendary God of Covenants, according to the inferences of human Awakened Ones, that was a powerful existence completely transcending normal gods. It was considered a force of the true Origin of the Three Thousand Daos and could not possibly perish; otherwise, the Three Thousand Daos would cease to exist.
Or rather, the God of Covenants was the manifestation of the Dao's rules, capable of constraining even the most powerful gods.
Once the order was transmitted, all students possessing dual-element divinity powers were quickly gathered together.
In a sealed training room, Jiang Ming presided personally. To ensure everything went smoothly, he had even invited Liu Shuyun to be ready to intervene at any moment should an accident occur.
Xing Tian, James, Janet, and four others—a total of seven dual-element Awakened Ones—stood together, waiting for orders.
Just moments ago, Jiang Ming had given each of them a copy of the dual-element Fusion theory summarized by Zhou Xing for them to memorize.
What came next was for each of them to try it personally.
The moment they saw the theory, everyone was profoundly shocked.
As dual-element Awakened Ones, they could switch between two abilities at will, making their comprehensive strength naturally stronger than normal Awakened Ones.
Only highly talented Awakened Ones like Augustus and Jin Yan, who possessed high divinity content immediately upon Awakening, had any hope of competing with them at the same level.
Whether it was dual-element or multi-element Fusion, over the years, aside from the occasional Awakened One who succeeded by luck, any attempt at forced Fusion had basically ended in failure, or even worse.
"Remember the balance point control in the theory. Do not be impatient; proceed step by step," Jiang Ming said with a serious face and a deep voice. "If you feel things are spiraling out of control, stop immediately!"
"Now, Xing Tian, you will be the first to try!"
Xing Tian nodded and took a deep breath. He mobilized the divinity of the god of thunder and the god of destruction around him. Following Zhou Xing's method, he cautiously brought them closer to fuse.
The most important aspect of Zhou Xing's theory was balance, and the prerequisite for balance was that the Awakened One's own control over their divinity power had to reach an extremely high level.
Boom—!
The moment the two energies drew close, a violent conflict erupted. However, under Xing Tian's precise control, they gradually formed a gray-and-blue energy vortex.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, this energy vortex went from being unstable at the start to perfectly intertwining together.
"Haha, it worked! I feel that the intensity after the two energies merged has definitely reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."
Xing Tian appeared very excited, which gave the others hope. One by one, they began to try on their own.
In the end, except for two people who couldn't fully master it due to mistakes, the other five all succeeded.
However, even for those who failed, they were instantly restored to their original state under Liu Shuyun's powerful healing strength.
Just like that, everyone successfully mastered the ability to fuse and use their two divinity energies.
This meant their personal strength would truly take a massive leap forward.
Watching this scene, even as the Commander of The Watchers, Jiang Ming could not hide his excitement: "Zhou Xing, you have opened a new era."
Liu Shuyun looked at Zhou Xing with eyes full of pride.
She was growing fonder and fonder of these two siblings.
As for Xing Tian and the other six, they were also sincerely grateful to Zhou Xing. It could be said that if they had tried on their own, it might have taken many years to succeed.
Next, the seven who successfully achieved dual-element Fusion all showed explosive results. Xing Tian even charged to the 40th floor of the Challenge Tower in one go, though he failed after only three minutes on the 41st floor.
The others also successively cleared the 35th floor and were pushing toward the 40th.
This gave Augustus and the others with only single-element abilities a sense of urgency.
In particular, after mastering the dual-element Fusion ability, Xing Tian challenged Augustus and ultimately defeated him head-on by relying on the powerful strength of dual-element Fusion.
Perhaps because his battle lust had been ignited, Xing Tian even challenged Zhou Xing for the first time afterward.
However, the battle between the two was basically a one-sided crushing. Even though Zhou Xing only used the three divinity energies of Ice, Fire, and Healing, his strength after Triple-element Fusion at the same level still far surpassed Xing Tian's.
This made many people truly realize the benefits of having multiple divinity abilities.
