Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 980 is extremely insulting.

Although Thor couldn't project his mental energy through the huge, thick glass, he could faintly sense the life inside the glass pillar.

The spiritual entity inside was extremely faint and indistinct; if it hadn't been pressed against the glass, Thor would have completely overlooked the existence of life within it.

But this should be the effect that the Stargate Council is aiming for.

It is hidden and can withstand the pollution of the starry sky.

After leaving Murridge waiting for a moment, Thor turned around to go and look at the experimental data.

As soon as he turned around, the first person he saw was not Murridge with his telescope-like eyes, but Douglas standing further back.

Douglas was looking at Thor, and only after their eyes met did he casually nod and turn his attention to the experimental data beside him.

Thor casually walked to the side and began to look through the experimental data on the table. However, he was multitasking, recording the process and results of each experiment while talking to the Nightmare Butterfly in his diary in his mind.

"Penny, was Douglas watching me the whole time?"

【Huh? I didn't notice.】

Penny seemed a little annoyed.

I was also drawn to the large glass window and forgot to look around.

"It's alright," Saul reassured him. "I didn't even notice him staring at me."

This statement surprised even Beth, who was writing in her diary.

Beth: [You're less than ten meters away from him, yet you can't sense his gaze? Your current mental strength is on par with a fourth-tier wizard!]

After the first four goals of the Symphony of Fate were formed, Thor received a large amount of feedback from the power of fate, and could even advance to the fourth rank on the spot. However, in order to pursue greater power, Thor has been suppressing himself.

Beth was initially surprised, but later became slightly excited.

[Sol, do you want to make him your fifth target?]

A powerful and mysterious third-tier wizard, who did not suffer any losses even when negotiating with the Stargate Council.

He is indeed a potential candidate.

"No rush," Thor replied in his mind. "This guy... I have a feeling I'm losing control of him. Let's observe him first, and it would be best if he agreed to cooperate as well."

For some reason, Thor wasn't as uncertain as he is now when he chose to imprison the fifth-tier water sprite, Froco.

His intuition told him neither that there was danger nor that everything should go smoothly.

When facing Douglas, Thor always had the feeling that the person in front of him was not actually there.

This uncertainty did not deter Thor; on the contrary, it made him even more interested in Douglas. He even entrusted him with the task of proactively cooperating with the Stargate Council.

It's difficult to protect one's interests in the face of the powerful Stargate Council, and it's also difficult to cooperate on an equal footing. But I don't know how Douglas did it, he actually completed the cooperation agreement before Douglas even returned, without even using his trump card.

Thor thought about it for a moment, but in the end he still didn't take out the Soul-Stabilizing Needle.

Since his temporary partner is so helpful, he should keep his trump card hidden.

Perhaps it will be used in some unexpected place in the future.

Ignoring the seemingly harmless Douglas behind him, Saul continued to peruse the experimental materials on the table.

"So the Stargate Council really is preparing to abandon its human bodies."

After reviewing the experimental data, Thor couldn't help but shake his head. "There are examples of elves before, and you still plan to completely abandon your bodies. I can only admire your courage."

Murridge laughed and said, "The elves failed because they didn't have a stargate. They wanted to leave the wizarding world but couldn't find a way out. More and more souls and consciousnesses were trapped in the layers of the world wall until the chaotic spiritual energy formed a gravitational field specifically targeting the elf race, which caused the remaining elves to disappear overnight."

"But we won't make that mistake," Murridge continued, even walking very close to Thor with a smug grin on his face. "We have stargates that allow us to cross world walls without any cost. We also have red worms carrying our consciousness, plus the Faceless Men's shells, providing excellent concealment. Naturally, we can leave this world with no future very safely."

Thor glanced at Murridge and suddenly flicked out a translucent gray tentacle.

The tentacles moved incredibly fast. Just as Murridge was about to dodge, the lights in the entire room suddenly dimmed, turning from pure white to purplish-red.

The purplish-red light immediately bathed everyone in the laboratory in the same color scheme, but Murridge's color was even deeper, and it seemed to be surging outwards in leaps.

Under the illumination of the color-changing light, the colors on Murridge's body ultimately failed to break free from his physical constraints.

In contrast, Thor, despite being the one who attacked first, was the same color as the others. Even his left hand, which had turned into tentacles, showed no abnormalities.

"So you're also suppressing mental power through fluctuations? But my transformations don't require mental power!" Thor said, his tentacles already binding Murridge tightly.

"Thor, don't kill our partner on the first day." Douglas leaned against the wall, saying words of mediation, but his body remained obediently still.

"He's not our partner!" Thor continued to wave his tentacles, tossing Murridge up and down as if he were playing with a toy.

It has almost no lethality, but it is certainly quite insulting.

Murridge went from initial surprise to anger, and finally to suppressed frustration and resentment. It wasn't until he saw Saul looking down at the experimental data again, showing no intention of letting him go, that he finally spoke up, suppressing his anger.

"Lord Thor, have you had enough fun?"

Thor ignored him, and his tentacles moved even faster, Murridge almost becoming a blur in his hands.

"Sauer, are you trying to kill Murridge so you can become my assistant?"

Finally, Alec's voice, which had been silent all along, rang out from outside the laboratory.

Thor then put Murridge down.

The latter stumbled a step after landing, which seemed to have a slight element of acting.

"I don't have the abilities of the Murridge Wizard." Thor turned to look at Alec, who was walking in from outside. "I can only hope that the little bit of material you left behind can help me survive in this world."

Douglas straightened up when Ali appeared, smiled and greeted him, "I thought the Speaker hadn't had time to come out lately."

Alec nodded to Douglas, clearly valuing this third-tier wizard highly.

"If either you or Saul is willing to join the migration plan, I can give you Murridge to play with."

Douglas waved his hand and shook his head. "No, I don't have your courage to leave before I've advanced to the fifth rank of wizard."

Douglas's words carried a hint of mockery, but Alec didn't care at all. "There are also beings of the first rank or even lower in the starry sky. Like these red worms, how could they move freely through the starry sky if they didn't have their special way of survival? We are now using knowledge to change our destiny."

Alec finally looked at Thor and said, "Thor, your mental strength is powerful and unique. You are actually more suited to the starry sky than anyone else here. Are you really not considering leaving with us? I can reserve a spot for you."

Douglas's eyes flickered, but he quickly lowered them, concealing the glint in them.

Thor politely countered, "Since your research on red worms is so effective at combating pollution, aren't you really considering staying to fight the Kuroshio Current?"

Alek withdrew his gaze and stared at his feet. "Between known terror and unknown terror, I would rather choose the unknown."
