The so-called antimatter, as the name implies, is the reverse state of normal matter. When antimatter and normal matter meet, they annihilate each other, causing an explosion and producing immense energy. Its power lies in the conversion of mass energy produced during annihilation, which is close to one hundred percent.
In contrast, the mass energy conversion ratio of a hydrogen bomb is only around 0.7 percent. In the face of the power of antimatter annihilation, so-called nuclear energy is simply not worth mentioning.
The Eye of Death, racing towards him, immediately felt the deadly threat. It wasn't just the annihilation of the physical body but also the obliteration of the soul. Countless tentacles, like towering pillars, lashed out, but two mana spheres had already collided.
Space and time seemed to freeze as Lynn was left with nothing but endless light and heat.
It was a radiance that was tens of thousands of times brighter than the sun, and the heat generated could only be measured in countless billions of trillions. Everything lost its meaning in the face of such a terrifying energy outbreak. The massive Eye of Death and countless pillar-like tentacles were annihilated in less than a second.
Then, the entire ocean, and the seabed, rapidly rose. Billions of tons of seawater were instantly evaporated, and the energy waves and high-energy radiation from the explosion spread in all directions, causing the entire space to shake violently...
Until a faint sound resonated in the space. It was a precise sound that reached Lynn's ears, despite being obscured by the intense explosion. It was as if he heard it with his soul.
It was the shattering of the consciousness space, with intricate cracks spreading like a spider's web.
But this was also Lynn's final thought.
The terrifying energy wave had already rushed toward him. The whole process was painless because the annihilation of the physical body happened in an instant.
The vast consciousness space was completely shattered under the impact of the energy wave, and the remaining energy merged into Lynn's body.
The formidable barrier that had been blocking the growth of his magic power was now easily breached. Lynn felt every cell in his body rejoicing, and the total amount of magic power was rapidly increasing.
His brain became incredibly clear, although not as much as in overload mode, the computing power had increased several times.
The elements in his perception became even clearer, and controlling them became effortless.
If he previously needed the assistance of his AI to release spells like "White Phosphorus - Fireball" or "Liquid Nitrogen - Ice Domain," he could now completely rely on his own power to cast these spells.
Furthermore, his magic power continued to grow, even directly crossing the second hurdle, advancing from an apprentice to a second-tier wizard.
Lynn sensed that his magic power reserves had increased by more than ten times compared to before. The power of the Eye of Death was truly evident.
"Even my physical qualities have improved," Lynn said, clenching his fist and testing several jumps. His body's cells had been partially enchanted.
However, the degree of enchantment was not high. This should not be an exclusive benefit of his own. When he was conducting the dual-sphere experiment before, he found that the wizards who moved the iron balls had varying levels of strength.
After spending ten minutes adapting to various types of magic, Lynn finally let go of the tension that had been gripping him. When he entered the wizarding world, his greatest concern was that his identity as an apprentice would be exposed. Now, this major weakness has been addressed.
No one could question his identity anymore. The next step was to verify whether Radak's conjecture was correct.
Lynn opened his notebook and quickly found records about Psychic Magic.
[Soul Wail], [Flesh Reconstruction], [Rotten Corpse], [Necromantic Control],...
[Soul Wail] was undoubtedly the most familiar psychic magic to Lynn. However, with no target for an attack, he couldn't test its actual effect. Spells like "Flesh Reconstruction" and "Rotten Corpse" were methods for creating undead, and he had no intention of dabbling in that.
After he saw the relevant information about "Necromantic Control," Lynn suddenly had an idea and inquired in his mind.
"071, can you release the stored unknown energy from earlier?" (the one he absorbed from Dove)
[Estimated energy consumption: 1%, used to maintain the energy body...]
"No problem, go ahead," Lynn said without hesitation. After becoming an official wizard, he cared less about the energy reserves of the AI brain. After all, he rarely needed to use it, and he could slowly accumulate it.
After Lynn gave the order, a faint blue glow floated out of his body and gradually condensed about a meter away.
It took the form of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, with a translucent figure that flowed like water.
Because they were both psychic users, the girl's body looked much more solid to Lynn compared to the chubby apprentice and the heavily injured Radak. He could even make out her features and the clothes she was wearing.
"Dove?" Lynn asked tentatively. His premonition was indeed correct. The unknown energy entity collected by the AI brain was undoubtedly her soul.
The girl slowly opened her eyes, filled with confusion and bewilderment. Her consciousness seemed to be frozen in the moment of death, and she mumbled something.
"I don't want to die..." Lynn understood Dove's intended message, and a hint of helplessness crossed his face.
The girl, barely thirteen or fourteen, seemed to come to her senses at this moment, curling up in fear. She looked around the unfamiliar space, and when she noticed Lynn, she instinctively floated towards him, reaching out to grab his clothing.
However, her action passed through empty air, as her ethereal hand went straight through the fabric.
Dove visibly paused, and then she realized that her body felt different. It was transparent and ethereal. She realized that she was already dead.
The witch's face showed a timid and bewildered expression. Her eyes brimmed with glistening tears. If she were alive, tears would have fallen from her eyes long ago.
"Um... Actually, you're not really dead. Let's just say... you've found a different way to live," Lynn tried to console her in a very tactful manner.
Unfortunately, his "consolation" seemed to have no effect. Dove's glistening tears immediately fell but dissipated into tiny specks of light before they reached the ground. Her crying sounds were sporadic and eerie, giving one a shuddering feeling.
Lynn felt overwhelmed. Offering comfort to others was not his strong suit, especially when the other person was a ghost. In the end, he reluctantly told Dove that her body was still around. Once he figured out how to put a soul into a physical body, she might be able to come back to life.
