Chapter 67 - Level 46 - Gods Eyes (1/2)
[{God's Eyes} have labeled a new conversation as 'Important'. Conversation, captured, was between 2 targets with 'High' priority.]
”Finally! They made a move. Were they Dark and Marcus?”
[Positive.]
”Track Dark and as soon as he reaches Shanghai, inform me. Also, make sure to track Markus, but Dark remains a priority.”
[Tasks recorded. Compiling new commands set to {God's Eyes}.]
'Aha, I probably forgot to explain what God's Eyes, right? Well... let me do just that.'
It's a system of magically enhanced satellites connected to each other, creating an Intranet of my own and allowing me and the system a constant connection to the Internet of things anywhere on the planet.
I spent an insane amount of time to build this system and it went live approximately 8 months ago. Overall I launched 2000 thousands of satellites to circle around Earth creating my personal domain, where nothing can escape my vision.
With this system, I got access to every little dirty secret of anyone on Earth. And because these satellites were a symbiosis of magic and technology, they had a lot more features than just spying and all-time Wi-Fi.
One such feature was the ability to cast any spell at any distance. So while sitting in China, I can cast a spell in America. That was because every satellite was a magical reactor, converting electricity into magical energy connected directly to another creation of mine {Ring System}.
So, before that, I had to support the {Ring System} from my Temple of Miracles, which limited the work of the rings to an area around the temple and limited my usage of Blacky, because it served as a power source for that contraption. But now, I could cover the whole planet with this system.
Of course, this system drains an insane amount of energy every second. The amount is actually comparable to what one average US state drains in the same period.
And having a black hole as a familiar wouldn't help. There was an idea to create a mini black hole for each satellite and use it as a core, but it's not sustainable. You see mini black holes are producing so much energy because they are burning out. And without feeding them on a constant basis I can forget about getting that energy out. And feeding 2 thousand mini black holes is impossible even for me. Moreover, I can't just overfeed black hole, because then they will produce less energy. The more massive it is, the less it's willing to part with that mass, a.k.a. energy.
In the end, I had to find a way to produce something, that produces energy on a long basis and doesn't require often maintenance.
And most of the ideas were scrapped for inefficiency, right until I found out an incredible thing. There is a charm to defend against radiation! It was at this moment, I understood something so simple, yet so profound. My thinking was too limited. I finally started thinking out of the box.
Magic is in a sense 'Deus Ex Machina', that is capable of anything and has no virtual limits.
This was how my idea of an Ultimate Nuclear Reactor came to life. You see, the main problem in all nuclear reactors is the waste they produce. Then comes radiation and heat, or shielding against them to be precise.
Both heat and radiation are types of energy. Plus, in reality, all energy types are the same thing, which is movement.
Magic energy is an exception, though. I don't even really know what it is. I can feel it, yes, but that's where it ends. Thanks to my insanely high magical talent I can feel the presence of something in the atmosphere decrease whenever a spell is a cast, so I just called it energy. But is it really? I think it's more appropriate to call it 'Mana' rather than energy. It doesn't follow the same rules.
By the way, another thing I noticed, is that everything in this Universe, whether it's an object or a creature produces that Mana. Including me. And apparently, it's somehow connected to the amount of magical talent. Because, compared to the majority of monks and other types of wizards, I produce a gigantic amount of Mana. I noticed it, just when I reached level 30. My magic talent quadrupled back then and I started feeling something seeping out of me.
