Spellcasting Gods

Normally, such a life form could never be touched by any mortal, not even one with a magical soul.

Unfortunately, it was too small, so small that it neither awakened an independent consciousness nor began to try to perceive everything around it.

It is merely dormant, continuously absorbing external energy until it reaches a certain critical point.

“Fantastic! This is exactly the Star Soul I need! No consciousness means no worries about my spirit being affected. Now, let's become one. From now on, I am you, and you are me…”

As the last word escaped his lips, Zhang Cheng plunged headlong into it, completely releasing his soul and letting the Star Soul devour him.

The moment his soul completely dissipated, his subconscious reached out and was suddenly struck by a violent tremor, followed by a return of his senses.

warmth!

A warmth that comes from the heart!

It's like a baby returning to its mother's womb!

Before this wonderful feeling could last long, the light shell that enveloped the soul finally shattered, and all the senses, like tentacles, quickly extended to every corner of the body.

At the same time, the fireball that was originally radiating terrifying heat gradually cooled down, and all the energy was recycled back to the core in the chest to replace the heart.

Zhang Cheng's appearance also changed from a translucent dark blue similar to Argus to his original human form, only now his size was many times larger than before.

Feeling the astonishing destructive power he unleashed with every move, he nodded in satisfaction: "I am finally a true Titan now, both in body and soul. I never imagined that a Titan's body was constructed from a special metal nurtured within the Star Soul. No wonder after Sargeras annihilated the Titan Pantheon, those Titans never reconstructed their bodies, only existing as souls. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they lacked the raw materials. It seems I'll have to be careful in the future, and try not to lose my physical body..."

"Master, congratulations on obtaining what you've always dreamed of." Adam rushed over, gently stroking the metallic skin covering his body, his voice filled with joy.

"No, Adam, this is just the beginning. Titans are not the end of life's evolution; they are merely a difficult peak to surpass, nothing more. Alright, now I have a task for you: go through the portal for me and throw this little thing into the depths of the Great Maelstrom of the Endless Sea of ​​Azeroth. Remember, don't let anyone find out, or it will attract a lot of busybodies."

After saying that, Zhang Cheng condensed a dark purple crystal in his palm.

It goes without saying that he has already begun to set his sights on the soul of the ancient planet Azeroth.

After all, in terms of power level, he can only be considered a Titan infant at best. Not to mention the Dark Titan Sargeras, even the newborn Argus is much stronger than him.

But Azeroth is different. According to legend, the planet's soul, in terms of energy level alone, far surpasses the sum of all the other Titans combined.

However, seizing the Azerothian Star Soul is not easy; the first hurdle to overcome is teleportation.

Given the staggering energy required for Titan teleportation, Zhang Cheng could no longer recklessly spread his legend across various worlds as before. Instead, he would have to seize enough massive amounts of energy at the teleportation destination to support the tearing of space.

The vortex created by the explosion of the Well of Eternity would have perfectly fulfilled this requirement...

Chapter 895 Adam's Mission (Part 1)

Stormwind City stands as the largest and most magnificent human city on the Eastern Continent.

Especially after expelling Onyxia, the black dragon princess who attempted to undermine Stormwind from within, King Varian Wrynn, who had been missing for a long time, made a strong comeback, once again taking up the banner of the Alliance and revitalizing the previously constrained nation.

His resolute and courageous character not only caused the Forsaken forces established by the Dark Queen Sylvanas of the North to suffer repeated defeats, but also prompted him to send reinforcements to Stranglethorn Vale, halting the Horde's continuous expansion and even giving Warchief Thrall a headache.

It can be said that Varian Wrynn, with his own power alone, changed the entire world order and is fully qualified to be called a great ruler.

Looking at the happy and confident expressions on the faces of the residents of Stormwind, it's easy to see that they have great love and respect for their king and firmly believe that he will protect them and enable them to live a happy and fulfilling life.

It's important to understand that this is not a time of peace. Every so often, the port district transports soldiers and supplies to the distant northern continent of Northrend to fight against the Scourge army led by Arthas, the Lich King and the first filial son of Azeroth.

But the war did not impoverish the people of the country. On the contrary, it not only brought more job opportunities, but also injected unprecedented vitality into the people of the whole country. Many bards began to sing songs praising the heroes again.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Adam.

After passing through the portal, he found himself deep in a dense forest, where three armed young men were confronting seven or eight ugly gnolls.

The former was clearly at a disadvantage; not only were his clothes tattered, but he was also bleeding.

In contrast, the burly gnolls were imposing, constantly wielding their axes and launching a siege. It was estimated that within minutes, the three poor young men would be killed, and their bodies would be dragged back to the camp, thrown into a pot, stewed, and eaten.

Gnolls are not kind creatures; for them, eating humans is no different from eating the flesh of other animals, and they feel no moral obligation or pressure whatsoever.

"Can anyone tell me where this is?" A barely perceptible red light flashed in Adam's eyes.

As a hybrid of mechanical and magical life form, his eyes are not merely for seeing, but rather a comprehensive, three-dimensional scanner.

That fleeting red light had already captured all the terrain and landforms within a kilometer radius into his brain, and then built up a three-location projection model, even clearly observing the insects hidden in the tree trunk.

"This...this is Elwynn Forest. Sir, are you a mage?" a young man whose left arm was still bleeding asked cautiously.

After all, a farmer's son like him, who had never seen much of the world, couldn't distinguish between arcane magic, holy light, fel energy, and shadow.

Anything that one cannot understand can be categorized as magic.

"Elwynn Forest? Eastern Continent! Storm Kingdom!" Adam quickly connected the keywords with the information in his mind and confirmed his location.

Just as he was trying to gather some useful information, two gnolls suddenly rushed up, swinging their axes to kill the human who had appeared out of nowhere.

"careful!"

Ignoring his own arms and hands, the young man rushed forward, shouting as he tried to block the infamous axe blade with his small wooden shield.

Unfortunately, he was too slow and could only watch helplessly as the axe drew closer and closer to the stranger in front of him...

But just as the axe was about to touch his skin, Adam suddenly raised his right hand and chanted in a completely emotionless tone, "Chain of Lightning!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

moment!

A dazzling white arc of electricity shot out from his fingertips, leaping repeatedly between several unfortunate gnolls. In less than a few seconds, these monsters collapsed to the ground, their bodies emitting a pungent smell of roasted meat as if they had been burned.

Without a doubt, as an outstanding life form created by Zhang Cheng himself, casting magic is as simple as eating and drinking for him.

The core, composed of a modified version of the Misera Core, can not only draw magical energy from the surrounding air at any time, but also store it and convert it into corresponding spells at any time.

As long as he has the corresponding spell structure in his brain, he can simulate it perfectly.

In a sense, Adam was simulating magic rather than casting it.

He doesn't need to spend a lot of time learning and understanding like a real mage; he simply stores the knowledge and uses his powerful computing ability to copy everything the spellcaster does.

The problem is that most people can't distinguish this well, especially rural youths who have never seen the true power of magic.

"Holy Light above! Is this magic?! It's incredible! So many gnolls! They were all killed in an instant!" The young man on the arm stared wide-eyed and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“That’s right! I can hardly believe what I’m seeing!” Another boy, around fifteen or sixteen years old, nodded vigorously in agreement.

As for the last person in the group, who also looked to be the youngest, she plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, her hand holding the short bow trembling incessantly.

It goes without saying that the dead gnolls had terrified her.

Ignoring the young people's intense emotional turmoil, Adam asked again, "Do you know where the nearest coastline is?"

“Of course! Your Excellency, Mage! It’s about fifty kilometers west of here to reach the coastline of the Western Wilderness. However, it’s teeming with merfolk and gnolls, and if you’re unlucky, you might even encounter remnants of the Defias Brotherhood.” The young man quickly gave a rough description of the surrounding terrain.

In his eyes, mages, like noble lords, were unattainable beings. Serving a powerful mage was far more exciting than completing a task and receiving payment.

“Westworld beach? Murlocs… Gnolls…” Adam quickly combined the information stored in his mind and made a judgment. A smile slowly appeared on his cold face. “Young men, would you like to be hired? I need a few servants. In return, I can teach you some magic and combat skills.”

"Yes! We're willing!" The fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy nodded frantically, afraid of missing this precious opportunity.

After all, in Azeroth, almost all the knowledge that can make people powerful is monopolized by the ruling class. The only chance for commoners to advance is to join the army and risk death at any moment to fight against all kinds of enemies.

Even so, at best, they could only become low-level warriors who had a basic grasp of rage.

Now an opportunity has presented itself, and three young people who clearly come from humble backgrounds are naturally not going to let it slip by...

Chapter 896 Adam's Mission (Part 2)

After cutting off the dead gnoll's ears, the group quickly left the forest and returned to the main road, continuing westward.

When passing by Xiquan Fortress, the three young men did not forget to hand over their ears to the garrison officer in exchange for a reward of one gold coin and twenty silver coins.

Feeling the pleasant clinking of coins in his leather pocket, the young man at the head of the group smiled excitedly. He glanced furtively at Adam, who was walking in front of him, and then whispered to his companion, "Mia, George, what do you think this esteemed mage is up to at the beach?"

"I don't know! Anyway, as long as we don't violate the laws of the Storm Kingdom, we'll do whatever this gentleman tells us to do." The boy called George shrugged indifferently.

“I think this mage just wants us to lead the way. As you all saw, he wiped out so many terrifying gnolls with just one finger. Such terrifying magical power doesn’t need our protection at all, does it?” Mia, the only girl in the group, whispered her opinion.

“That makes sense! Anyway, we’re just a bunch of insignificant little people. No matter what this mage teaches us in the end, we won’t lose out. Besides, he gave us precious alchemical potions that made our wounds disappear instantly.” As he spoke, the young man touched his arm, which had been bleeding not long ago.

Now, the wound has long since healed, leaving only a red mark.

"The power of magic... How wonderful it would be if I could become a mage, even just the lowest-level apprentice." George looked at Adam walking ahead with immense envy.

Although he was just a poor farmer's son, his heart was full of dreams and expectations for the future; otherwise, he would not have risked his life to leave home and family and embark on a perilous adventure.

In contrast, Mia was much more realistic, offering a wry smile as she advised, "Forget it, George. Have you forgotten that the most important things to becoming a mage are intelligence and extensive knowledge? You can't even read, so how can you become a mage? I'll be satisfied as long as he's willing to teach me some shooting skills."

"I want to learn the skills of a warrior! Especially rage! Once I master that, I can unleash some powerful moves and never have to worry about being surrounded by monsters again." The young man gripped the sword hilt tightly and muttered to himself through gritted teeth.

……

While the three young people were whispering behind, they had no idea that Adam, who was walking in front, had heard everything they were saying and even showed a slightly sarcastic smile.

Because he knew that when he threw the crystal into the whirlpool in the center of the endless sea, his creator and master would use the infinite energy inside the planet to open a portal and then devour and drain all the energy and star soul.

Even if the entire planet doesn't shatter, the unrestrained magma deep within the Earth's core will erupt, destroying all plants and animals on the surface, and even civilization.

Aside from fire and earth elements, no third type of life can survive in this world.

As for heading to Westfall, the main purpose is to avoid the eyes and ears of SI:7 in Stormwind and build a ship that can enter the deep sea without anyone knowing.

The poor merfolk and gnolls, under the influence of enchantment magic, become free laborers, sailors, and slaves.

As an artificial life form born from a computer program, Adam was completely unrestrained by the morals of human society, and had not even established a worldview, values, or philosophy of life.

All he wants to do now is serve his master and help him achieve his grand ambitions.

Fifty kilometers is neither far nor near.

After traveling at a rapid pace for about six hours, the group finally arrived at the northeasternmost beach in the west.

Unsurprisingly, they received a "warm welcome" from over a hundred fishmen.

"Wah la la la la!"

Accompanied by their signature cries, these densely packed little monsters covered in yellowish-green scales rushed toward the shore, clearly intending to kill the invaders who had invaded their own territory and then eat the corpses for dinner.

"Mage... Mage! I think we should retreat first! There are too many murlocs here!" George bit his lower lip hard, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Keep in mind that he has not received professional combat training, so he would have a hard time even dealing with two fishmen, let alone hundreds.

"Don't worry, they can't get through." Adam's eyes flashed red again, and he suddenly raised his hand and shot out a scorching fireball.
