1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King

71 Experiment Summary

William looked at the 40-odd figurines of various sizes around him. After two days and one night of experimentation, he came to a preliminary conclusion.

First of all, it had to be a Kane figurine that had been blessed by the Eighth Order before it could be used as a medium to extend his strength.

Among the more than 40 different figurines collected, only the Great Sage figurine of the Kane Church, the silver figurine on Nizemar’s pendant, and a small number of figurines that had also cracked from the divinity manifestation met this requirement. The other figurines made by civilians weren’t capable of completing such feats.

Even if he tried casting a figurine with the same material afterward, he still couldn’t use it as a medium.

According to Nizemar, the way these figurines were blessed had always been an internal secret of the Eighth Order’s Sealing Temple. Even she—as a relic hunter—had no right to know the exact method.

Considering the huge number of blessed figurines on the continent, William estimated that the key reason wasn’t the materials but some special craftsmanship.

Secondly, the cracked figurines couldn’t be used as a medium for him to extend his strength. Or to put it another way, they seemed to have been “inactivated,” and he had to use Holy Artifact Repair to activate them again.

However, on the other hand, after William repaired the figurine, destroying it wouldn’t affect its use as a medium unless he completely destroyed it.

In that case, the so-called divinity manifestation some time ago was intriguing.

Rather than calling it a divinity manifestation, it was more like a protection or self-destruct mechanism.

Other than that, it didn’t matter if the figurine looked like William himself as long as there were distinguishable characteristics. Be it the Kane Horn, Judgment 2, or the acute-angled holy emblem, it didn’t matter as long as one could recognize whose figurine it was. It didn’t matter even if it looked nothing like William.

Finally, it was the specific activation steps and functions.

Activating the figurine as a medium required William to personally touch it. Only after sensing the “blessing” from the Eighth Holy Spirit could he establish a connection with the figurine.

Once he established a connection, he could attempt to change the appearance of the figurine according to his will, but this change could only be done once. Moreover, it had to retain the characteristics of Holy Spirit Kane.

William had tried turning a figurine into a mini version of the Kane Horn, and it didn’t affect its use.

Next were the functions he could achieve through this medium.

There were two things he summarized. First, he could sense what was happening in real time around the medium. Second, he could use the connection with the statue to remotely cast spells.

As for how much power it could carry, it was determined by the material and size of the figurine. The better the affinity of the material to magic and the larger the medium, the more power it could carry.

The impact of the materials was greater than the impact of volume.

For example, the figurine necklace in Nizemar’s hand that was mixed with Elementium Silver could bear the pressure of William’s Master-level spells. As for the stone statue in Kane Church, it began to tremble and crack violently when it served as a conduit of an Expert-level spell.

Of course, this was under the premise that the figurines weren’t damaged.

If he overloaded it, he could probably use spells that were of a higher level than their capacity.

For example, Nizemar’s necklace was blasted to pieces after William used a Legendary spell. However, that spell was completely cast.

William later promised to get her a figurine made of pure Elementium Silver after learning the blessing process. When the poor girl heard this, she fainted with excitement.

The other thing was the distance.

Distance didn’t affect the medium’s sensing function. During this period, William teleported back to the Grief Mountains. He could still achieve real-time surveillance around Thorn City’s statue without incurring any delay.

If it weren’t for the fact that the microscopic world of this world probably didn’t pay attention to Planck, William would have sighed and said, “Quantum entanglement.”

Of course, he knew nothing about quantum mechanics.

However, if he cast a spell, excessive distances would cause the magic power to decrease.

This was expected. Once magic left the ether domain and entered Currere, it would quickly evaporate and escape back to the Astral World when not restricted by spells or barriers. However, through that invisible connection, magic could easily dissipate halfway.

However, the distance between the Grief Mountains and Thorn City required more than ten times the amount of mana William needed for casting a spell.

He didn’t know if he could reduce the consumption of mana by placing figurines midway as a base station. In any case, he didn’t have enough Holy Spirit figurines for experiments.

Someone knocked on the door.

William knew who it was when he heard the respectful knock on the door.

“Come in,” he stood up and said.

The door opened, and Nizemar—who was wearing a linen ascetic robe—walked in. She lowered her head and asked, “Lord… Lord Kane, you were looking for me?”

“You’re finally willing to change that awkward title,”

William said in relief when he heard the other party address him normally.

Ever since he discovered that the statue in Kane Church could be used as a remote casting medium, Nizemar—who was familiar with the Eighth Order’s matters—had naturally become his assistant in all kinds of experiments.

During this period, he also took this opportunity to intentionally or unintentionally explain to the other party the essence of the Holy Spirit faith, the calamity that personalized faith might bring about, and why he wasn’t the Eighth Holy Spirit.

Of course, William didn’t expect the other party to completely accept his explanation. After all, even now, he had to admit that the Eighth Holy Spirit was related to him, even if it was a relationship forced by later generations.

However, at the very least, he hoped that this fanatical believer would pay attention to his words and actions in the future and not do anything too eye-catching.

He didn’t expect the other party to seem to have accepted his words. Be it her form of address or attitude, they were much more normal than before.

“Since that’s your will, there must be a reason,” Nizemar replied.

She had indeed figured it out. This was actually a very simple logic—since the Holy Spirit had descended and said that He wasn’t the Holy Spirit in the flesh, then He wasn’t.

The Holy Spirit was always right. If she felt that there was a contradiction, it was because of her shallowness as a mortal.

“My will? Ah, whatever…”

William found the other party’s words strange, but he didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, he told her why he had summoned her.

“You previously said that the Sealing Temple is in charge of all the figurine blessings. Then, can you tell me where the nearest Sealing Temple is?”
