It is the organ that magicians use to transform life force into magical power. It is similar to a nerve; without it, magic cannot be used properly.
The innate source of magic for all magicians.
The magician's unique internal simulated nerves are circuits that can transform life force into magic power. As the foundation, they are also the pathways connecting grand magic tricks. The circuits connecting the spirit and matter are the pseudo-mysteries held within the magician's body.
So what's your choice?
Angra Mainyu thrashed about in this sea of magic, like someone trapped in a tiny space, waving his arms and kicking his legs without restraint.
It has a completely comical feel to it.
"The physical models here are indeed top-notch, but why are there several familiar models?"
Matou Ike looked at the thousands of humanoid phantoms floating in front of him and spotted several people he had seen in the past few days.
Although these humanoid phantoms all have a uniform appearance, when you touch them, the information about the physical body will flow into Matou Ike's consciousness.
Just now, Matou Ike clearly obtained... Caster, Berserker, and so on... their basic information...
"Can the bodies created here directly replicate the power of the Heroic Spirits?" Matou Ike asked with some doubt.
"Of course not, what are you thinking? If we could produce Heroic Spirits in a unified way, we would have unified the world long ago."
Angra Mainyu looked at Matou Ike as if he were an idiot, and even picked at his non-existent booger.
"Really? I thought I was going to snag a great deal," Matou Ike said nonchalantly.
“However, if you really want to, creating a Heroic Spirit’s Spirit Origin isn’t difficult, but you won’t be able to use Noble Phantasms or those special bloodline characteristics. Besides, I don’t know that kind of technique, so you’ll have to go find my boss,” Angra Mainyu said casually.
“Really? That’s not bad…it can be considered.” Matou Ike listened as she swam deeper into the water.
The further inside you go, the fewer humanoid phantoms there are, but the higher their quality becomes, with several even possessing gold-level demonic eyes.
"Can the Demon Eye be replicated?"
Matou Ike was somewhat puzzled. He himself possessed a pair of gem-grade magical eyes, and such special magical circuits only appeared in the world by sheer chance.
"Do you take me for a printer? Even if I cloned you right now using that special magic circuit, that body wouldn't have the Magic Eye."
"Even if it could be made, it would be the worst kind of garbage. Even if it were copied from a high-end product, it wouldn't be able to match the original's capabilities. You probably wouldn't want to use that thing."
As if he had thought of something, Angra Mainyu paused and continued:
"However, there seem to be a few pairs of ready-made magic eyes here, which seem to be the boss's spoils of war."
"Is that so?" Matou Ike's expectations dropped slightly, but he also understood that the Mystic Eyes were organs attached to magicians, and at the same time, they were also semi-independent magic circuits.
If you can figure out the circuitry of some top-tier Mystic Eyes and create them, then you're not far from the Root.
And the owner of this place is clearly not a magician with those kinds of research results.
“Let me look… three pairs of fairy eyes, one pair of still eyes, one pair of burning eyes… and one pair of double pupils. How about it, are you interested? I can secretly get you a pair.” Angra Mainyu said with a wicked smile.
"Double pupils? What's the use of those eyes?" Matou Ike's interest, which had just subsided, immediately surged again.
The aforementioned pairs of demonic eyes, while possessing some excellent qualities, are not enough to make him replace those Deconstruction Demonic Eyes. But if it were these two pairs of pupils...
"It's pretty average. It has no offensive capabilities, no defensive capabilities, and almost no support capabilities. But even so, it's still a Noble Color level item."
"Then what is the purpose of these eyes?"
Matou Ike was somewhat curious. How could eyes of the Noble Color, a sublime color, have no abilities? This was something that had already reached the level of supernatural power.
"Yes, but its function is rather useless—it allows you to have circuits that completely encompass several types of Mystic Eyes at the same time, but Mystic Eyes are rare to begin with, and high-quality ones are even rarer, so this thing is not very useful."
Angra Mainyu spoke quickly, paused, and continued:
"Besides, haven't some organizations already mastered the technology to house the composite demonic eyes? Although they are prone to going out of control and going berserk, these eyes won't be as dangerous as theirs."
"As for the Mystic Eyes, aren't there several pairs here? They all look pretty good to me..." Matou Ike swallowed hard, staring intently at those eyes.
"First of all, the Magic Eyes are not a necessary part of the contract. Although you can take one pair, taking a second pair is forbidden."
"Secondly, do you really think there's no problem with stuffing several imprints into your eyes at the same time? The more advanced the magic eye, the more complex its circuits become. When several complex circuits become entangled, what do you think will happen to your brain?"
Angra Mainyu looked at Matou Ike's expression and said somewhat irritably.
"Hmm...then let's choose these glasses."
"?" Angra Mainyu thought he had misheard, so he asked again and received the same affirmative answer, so he didn't pay any more attention to it.
As for Matou Ike's reason, it is that by possessing these dual pupils, he can simultaneously possess the Deconstruction Mystic Eyes, that is one reason.
Secondly, although there are few magic eyes in this world, they are not non-existent, and he happens to know a few places where he can gain something.
"We've chosen the eyes, but what about the body? Whose? I think Gan Luo's body is quite good."
When Matou Ike heard what Angela Manuel said, his gaze swept in the direction Angela Manuel was pointing.
It is indeed very good, and it can meet his requirements. It is a perfect body like a blank sheet of paper, on which one can paint freely.
But Matou Ike ultimately shook her head:
"As for the body, the magic circuits within it basically follow the foundation of thought magic, which isn't suitable for my own magic. It's like I want to paint an oil painting, but you give me a sheet of rice paper..."
"then you?"
"I'm going to make my own body."
Chapter 181 The Union of Spirit and Flesh
Angra Mainyu teased Matou Ike:
"Well, after all that consideration, I still chose to create my own body? It's like I gambled on something wrong again... There aren't a single one of these excellent materials that I like?"
“It’s not that there aren’t any, it’s just that none of them are suitable for me…” Matou Ike replied.
After answering, he felt a flash of light before his eyes, the scenery in the sea of magic changed, the humanoid phantoms around him disappeared, and he arrived in a pure white place.
"...So that's what happened earlier... Never mind... never mind."
Matou Ike felt a little resentful; the feeling of constantly floating in that sea of magic was really unpleasant.
"That was the real interior of the Holy Grail just now; this is an illusion. This is an illusion I created specifically to make it easier for you to create your own story. It's all to build atmosphere, understand? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Matou Ike rolled her eyes at this explanation, but she had to admit that the current location was indeed more suitable.
"What do you want to do?" Angra Mainyu pointed to the center in front of them, and an operating table appeared. "Is this any good? If not, get another one. I have plenty of different kinds here."
Subsequently, several different operating tables changed around them, ranging from ancient stone tables to modern high-tech operating beds, with all sorts of oddly shaped operating tables.
Even those alien monsters covered in tentacle tumors have appeared; Matou Ike can even feel the monster's heartbeat.
Matou Ike glanced around and finally chose the most ordinary-looking operating table, simple and clean. "This one will do."
“How boring,” Angra Mainyu shook his head, but didn’t say anything more. With a wave of his hand, the other operating tables disappeared.
"Flesh and blood or spirit origin, which do you choose? Although the heroic spirit body is more convenient and mysterious than the physical body, the source of magic power is a problem. However, if you create it yourself, you won't have to use magic power to solidify skills and Noble Phantasms, since you don't have any anyway."
Angra Mainyu casually remarked to Matou Ike.
"You should have seen the familiars I've created, right?" Matou Ike used magic to simulate the appearance of a demonic worm and placed it on the control panel.
Looking at the white, translucent worm, Angra Mainyu immediately remarked, "Look at it now, it looks like a maggot."
“I want to use this method to create a body, a fusion of spirit and flesh, with my spirit as the fusion material and the flesh and blood of an insect as the base.” Matou Ike ignored Angela Mainyu’s words and continued:
"There should still be quite a few of these worms in my corpse, right? With a sample, replicating a large amount of flesh shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
“It looks so similar…” Angra Mainyu murmured.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing. If you have a sample, replicating this flesh and blood isn't difficult. Anyway, the insect's flesh and blood were made from your own, so why not use your own?"
Angra Mainyu snapped out of his thoughts and then asked Matou Ike.
"It's nothing, I just have a feeling that it would be better for a Mushishi to have a body based on a Mushi, it seems to fit the origin better," Matou Ike said casually.
Angra Mainyu nodded, and a rift appeared beside him, from which Matou Ike's corpse was pulled out.
Black mud was continuously poured into it, and before long, the corpse rapidly swelled up.
Just like a whale that, after death, swells due to the accumulation of putrefactive gases inside, its final fate is inevitably...
The corpse exploded, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere, some even landing on Matou Ike's face.
But these were all minor matters. Countless insects crawled out of Matouchi's body and, guided by Angela Manuel's magic, piled up on the operating table.
Gradually, the insects merged together and formed a "human" shape, though it looked like a clay figurine that had not yet been sculpted.
It has no face, no blood vessels, no magic circuits, and not even male or female sexual characteristics.
Everything is left to Matou Ike to choose, even her future gender.
If Matou Pond wants to become Matou Pond, that's not impossible.
However, Matou Ike has no intention of changing her gender at this time. It's not a sports competition, and being a third sex doesn't offer any advantage in the world of magic.
The first thing to work on was the internal structure of the body. Matou Ike initially envisioned designing this body as a "space warrior" with a second heart and multiple lungs.
Unfortunately, this modification and enhancement have absolutely no connection to the magician's part.
Only by being a native human can the magic circuit achieve its best effect.
Of course, there must be optimization of the physical skeleton. After observing thousands of sets of high-quality physical data, Matou Ike also summarized a set of physical bodies that were most suitable for him.
Next comes the creation of the magic organ—the magic circuit.
"You want to use Einzbern's technology?"
"You should have them, right?"
Angra Mainyu nodded, disappeared for a moment, and then returned, holding a ball of light in his hand.
"There is some, but I don't know how. Here's the material, learn it yourself." Angela Manuel didn't care; he could wait as long as Matou Ike took.
Matou Ike looked at the ball of light, picked up the Deconstruction Mystic Eye that had been prepared beforehand, immersed his consciousness into it, and then used the eye's ability to observe and learn.
After an unknown amount of time, Matou Ike withdrew from his consciousness and found that Angela Mainyu was no longer there.
He shook his head and began using his newfound knowledge to create magic circuits. As for the materials...
Aren't "black mud" and "worms" both excellent magical artifacts?
There are a total of 108 magic circuits, 36 of which are dominant and 72 are auxiliary.
