Edge of the Apocalypse

"Have you memorized this fusion matrix?" Hugh nodded his head and looked at Alan.

"Of course, I designed it. Even with my eyes closed, I can draw it again. In fact, I think there are some areas that can be further refined. For example …" Allen said confidently.

"Wait …" Hughton glared at him and said unhappily, "I didn't ask you any questions about improvement or updating. In short, you should remember this matrix, right? That's good."

After saying that, he rubbed his hands. When Hughton's hands were separated, Allen's design had already turned into a pile of debris that he couldn't even fight back.

Alan looked at Hughton and said, "This is …"

"Listen, boy. This fusion matrix of yours will be the key to triggering the transformation of the Devil Martial Domain. But you are still too young. In this field, people still don't know who Alan is. Once this matrix fell into someone else's hands, it would immediately become someone else's property. "If a mast were to publish that announcement, no one would believe it even if you claimed to have create it yourself." Hughton clapped his hands and said, "so now you should obediently go get the broom and clean up the place. Pretend nothing happened tonight. Don't rush to publish this new series. After all, you still have a lot to learn. Wait until there is a suitable opportunity before launching a heavy punch. At that time, your name will be recorded in the history of the development of the Devil Martial Domain. Perhaps you will be ranked on the same level as Monroe, the father of the Devil Martial Domain. "

"Hey, thinking about it, I actually didn't intend to teach a student comparable to Monroe. I can't help but get drunk tonight." Hughton laughed loudly with a complacent expression, as if the fusion matrix had been created by him.

Alan was also shocked. The fusion matrix was inspired by the connection between the universe and everything that Black Street had comprehended that night. Silence Guardian and Straight Saber Dark Destruction were two separate individuals. They were combined into a single entity through a fusion matrix, resulting in Thorned Sword Armor. However, Alan did not expect that this unintentional work of his would actually give Hughton such a high evaluation. It was even possible for him to be on the same side as Monroe, the father of the demonic martial arts. This was something he had never thought of.

However, Hughton's concerns were also correct. If Alan had rashly released this sequence, who would have believed that an unknown kid would be able to create a completely new sequence that would bring about a disruptive change in magical equipment?

After all, a brand new sequence had not appeared for many years. Now, the masters of sequence design were mostly using the designs of their predecessors to change and update it.

In the end, Allen's foundation was still too shallow, and no one even knew of his existence in the Demon Martial Domain. He needed an opportunity to show off and obtain the approval of others before releasing a revolutionary fusion matrix before he could hook up this new Magic Cube sequence with himself.

As for now, it was time to hide his strength.

As a result, tonight, the fusion matrix was like a meteor that gently swept across this world, leaving behind a faint trajectory. It didn't even have time to appear on Horn's table, or on the council of elders' table, otherwise Allen's special budget for each quarter would exceed a million dollars!

Two nights later, Hughton drank a few drinks and recalled Allen's fusion matrix. Then, he talked about the current situation of magic power. Alan was used to the way he taught, so he kept a record as usual.

Hughton exhaled a mouthful of alcohol and said, "Brat, you should know that the current Mana Armament is only developed to Level 20. Do you know why it hasn't been further developed?"

'"Is it because of the Origin Tool? No, the Origin Tool is an unattainable weapon that cannot be popularized at all. If not for this reason, then … there is no need to develop it?" Allen thought.

After saying that, he was also shocked by his speculation.

Allen had been in contact with the Magic Cube for some time, and he knew that with the current technology and productivity of the Federation, there was a way to develop magic energy weapons above the 20th rank. But all along, the highest level of magic power was only in the 20th gear. To have strength without development, that is to say, there is no need to develop weapons above the 20th grade.

Hughton nodded and said, "You should also know that there are other levels after the Awakened ones."

"Teacher Jessica said that after the Awakened ones, there would be different branches of the Origin Energy Road, but she didn't say what kind of branch it would be." Alan said truthfully.

"Those are the rulers and ancestors" Hughton shook his wine bottle. "Whether it's the rulers or ancestors, they can already be considered to be at the top level of combat strength. Even though the Federation is full of talents and generals, the number of experts at the top level of combat strength is very limited."

"Experts at this level can no longer use magic energy weapons. For them, unless it is a weapon like the Origin Tool level, there is no difference between an ordinary tactical saber and a high-grade 20 Magic Weapon. Moreover, the ruler's engraved armor and the ancestral descendant's ancestral blade. The former tends to defend, while the latter focuses on attacking, which is not comparable to Magic Weapons." Hughton spread out his hands and said, "However, there are only a small group of people that can be classified as top-notch combat strength. They are the shocking forces in the Federation camp. A large number of Awakened ones are the backbone combat strength of the Federation. It can be said that magic energy weapons are mainly developed for this group of people. However, even a Level 20 Magic Martial Set is unable to approach the gap between Awakened ones and Dominants."

At this point, Hughton looked at Ellen and smiled, "But your fusion matrix might be able to change this. It's impossible to level the gap between the two, but only one-third of the gap is enough to change the overall power structure of the camp. It's no exaggeration to say that if you can do this, then the fusion matrix will be more useful than the Origin Tool."

Hughton did not exaggerate this point. After all, top-grade battle power and Origin Tools were limited, and the number of backbone battle power was the largest. The fusion matrix could also be mass produced. With the two of them working together to achieve qualitative change through quantitative change, it was indeed possible to change the overall situation of the entire faction. That was naturally much more useful than just one or two Origin Tools. From this, it could be seen that the value of the fusion matrix was also the reason why Hughton was especially cautious about releasing it.

Apart from that, Ellen had also accidentally learned about the level of peak combat strength from the old general's mouth. Those were the two branches of the ruler and the ancestral descendant. As for how the branch appeared, and what the inscription armor and the ancestral blade were, they were incomparably clear. Hughton had fallen asleep with the wine bottle in his arms when Alan wanted to ask more details.

The ignorant are fearless.

The more he knew, the more Allen realized how insignificant he was in the Origin World. Therefore, he could only continue to train diligently, leaving behind clear footprints on the path of pursuing strength.

It's weekend again.

As usual, Allen arrived at the training hall on Saturday morning. After two hours of physical training, he started his dry and boring saber-arts training. The object of Allen's practice was a steel doll, and the knife he used to train was always repeating some of the most basic movements. However, when a throat cut was repeated hundreds of times, the landing point was exactly the same. At the end of the day, the training knife that had been used to pierce through the puppet's neck left a clear mark, causing the surrounding family guards who were also training to cast admiring gazes at Allen, and at the same time, they were sweating profusely.

It was able to repeat an extremely ordinary movement hundreds of times without any deviation. This showed that Allen was patient, accurate and error-prone.

No one wants to meet such an opponent.

After the morning training, Ellen, who had returned to Winged Tower's residence, bumped into William head-on.

"Hey, boss!" William threw a small storage device at Ellen. "This is the information that Mr. Helsing just sent you. He said it was given to you by a man named Ron."

"Second Lieutenant Ron … I know." Alan took it and smiled, "Do you want to have lunch together?"

"No, boss. That girl Li Mei has prepared lunch and is waiting for me to go back."

"Then I'll give you half a day off."

Wilick whistled and went off happily. Alan returned to his residence and took out the storage device that Ron had sent him. After Windsor Belo released the final exam questions, Allen commissioned Second Lieutenant Ron to gather information about the armed group in Wilton Mountain. He didn't know, but when Ron accepted the commission and started to investigate, he found that there was pitifully little information about the armed group.

So the budget for gathering intelligence had to be increased, but even so, it took almost three months for Ron to give him the information. Evidently, Windsor Belo chose not a simple target. In this assessment, intelligence gathering was also a homework. Ellen couldn't help but be glad that he knew Ron first. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to borrow the strength of his family in this assessment, which would be enough to make Ellen's brain hurt in gathering intelligence.

Connect the storage device to the brain, and quickly read out a large number of graphics and text information.

After reading the information, Alan's eyebrows almost knitted together. Sure enough, Windsor Belo did not choose an ordinary armed group on the surface. To be exact, this was a revolutionary army.

Along with the conflict between the surface and floating islands, the federal government's conciliatory measures seemed to be inadequate. In the past decade, the undercurrents of revolution began to surge. To overthrow federal rule and to share resources with each other is the purpose of the Revolutionary Army. Obviously, their purpose had seriously infringed on the interests of the Federation and the aristocratic groups, so the Federation had always been uncompromising in dealing with the revolutionary army's attacks.

However, the Revolutionary Army was supported by the people on the surface and took advantage of the complicated and changeable environment on the surface, causing the Federal Government to be unable to completely exterminate the Revolutionary Army. Instead, it was becoming more and more serious. Allen was only neutral on such matters. After all, who could tell if the so-called revolutionary army was deliberately arranged by a member of the Federal Assembly to fight against political enemies?

Allen, who had already begun to study Political Philosophy, was well aware of the complexity of the subject of politics. Moreover, there were no lack of thugs in the revolutionary army that were fighting in the name of the revolution, but they were still plundering the land.

In Ron's investigation, the so-called Revolutionary Army in the Wilton Mountains played precisely this role!
