652 Atlants Struggle (2/2)
He once thought that once a good magnification spell became available, the secret in cells and heredity would reveal themselves in front of him. However, it had been a long time but Felipe was not making much progress. He indeed had found chromosomes and guessed that they were related to heredity, but that was it.
He knew it clearly that without the support from mathematics and other arcana findings in the school of element and electromagnetism, his study was not going anywhere. To find what he had been seeking for, he had to either wait for other people to do the preliminary studies, or do them on his own.
Therefore, while his cell research was not bringing him much, the other two studies on the integration of spirits and undead creatures had improved his magic level by one circle to the eighth.
After reading Lucien's paper, Felipe turned to read the studies done by Hathaway and Hellen on crystals, which had more or less inspired him before.
A while later, he stood up and walked in his own exclusive lab. He saw the many plants, red-eyed rats, and the moth boxes.
Magnification spells not working, Felipe had to work more on the observation of plants, animals, and insects. However, observation took a long time.
Sensing the noise, the rats in the lab started screaming, and the moths flying up and down in the boxes. Only the plants remained silent.
Felipe rubbed his forehead, trying his best to stop himself from destroying them all. The anger burnt his guts.
Why he had to deal with them all day long?
He was neither a farmer nor a butcher!

In Atomic Universe, after the everyday practice, Natasha went back home and saw Lucien in the chair, just sitting there.
”Not working on your spells?” Natasha asked.
She knew that after reaching level-two legendary, Lucien had been working on constructing the three legendary spells in his soul: Luxury Cracking, Abrupt Magic Reverse, and Mental Fulmination.
Lucien smiled, ”Nope, just thinking.”
”So what is it? You seem to be struggling.” Natasha pulled a chair and sat down. Her eyes looked into Lucien's eyes.
Lucien paused a second and then said, ”I was trying to figure out the arcana theory supporting Thanos' and Viken's demigod power, how their power could be explained. If I can figure this out, their weaknesses will be exposed, and then we can truly kill them!”
”When they became demigods, there was no arcana, so the only clues might be the magic circles and rituals…” said Natasha hesitantly. She wanted to help, but she did not understand the theories in the world of arcana. ”Can demigods be truly killed though?”
Lucien shook his head, ”They have their own limits. Nothing is truly eternal. So I'm thinking. If we cannot find the way, even if we kill Viken, he will always be able to come back from the river of fate. At that time, such a shameless demigod will become a great threat to the congress, to the kingdom, and to those we love and care about. It'll be a sheer disaster.”
”This is indeed a problem, but the South Church is still going to last for a while… a long, long time, I should say.” Natasha comforted him. After knowing that their Lord was in fact Thanos, her belief had become totally abstract. She had the respect to the ultimate existence in the universe, but not to a specific god.
Lucien suddenly said, ”Maybe one day, my 'theory' will turn my friends into enemies and disappoint my teacher and students…”
Although Natasha did not understand why Lucien would say so, she still grinned, ”It's okay. I'll be there with you, as long as you're okay that I don't even understand your theory.”
Lucien smiled. His hand was on Natasha's hand, fingers crossed.
......
Holding his paper, in the early morning, Lucien was walking along the corridor in the magic tower of Allyn. It was still a bit dark when he pushed open the door of Fernando's study.
It was bright in the study. In comparison, the study and the corridor seemed to be two different worlds.
