"This is...my third? But how is that possible? Sisi, what did you do?"
Emerald was no stranger to this feeling; she had experienced it twice before, which is why she was so stunned and surprised.
"I...I don't know either, Miss."
Marcy also crossed her arms, her magical energy fluctuating abnormally, clearly indicating that this strange reaction was affecting her as well.
"……never mind."
Although it happened suddenly, Emery had already experienced this twice before, so she was only surprised at first, and then made a decision immediately:
“Sisi, come with me to the underground meditation room to help me complete my third fusion organ… Although I don’t know exactly what you did, the fact that I was able to obtain my third fusion organ so quickly is definitely related to you. You need to stay by my side.”
"Yes, Miss."
Marcy, of course, did not refuse and immediately went to Emerald's side, taking over from Julia to support Emerald, who was still feeling a bit sore and weak.
After leaning against Marcy, Emerald turned to Julia and said:
"Honey, you're in charge of keeping watch around the neighborhood and don't let anyone get close... If anyone ignores your warnings and tries to come over or acts suspiciously, just punch them away."
"Okay! I absolutely won't let anyone bother you!"
Yulia nodded immediately, clenched her fist, and went on patrol full of energy.
Amelie and Marcy entered the meditation room in the basement of their villa.
With Julia guarding outside and opening the barrier of the meditation room to isolate the aura, Emerald finally breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down to investigate what was going on.
The research process was not difficult.
Emerald has now personally experienced the power of the Dao Ancestor, and has also supplemented her magical knowledge at the Lohid Magic Academy. Furthermore, Marcy is very cooperative with her, and unconditionally trusts all her research and examinations.
In this situation, Emery quickly figured out what was going on.
This was related to Marcy's fanatical devotion to her, and also to Amelie's relative weakness after her recent battle.
Fanatical believers can influence their idols, even if the idols have not yet been inspired by divine power. Mondoly proved this with her life.
Marcy's feelings for Emerald had long since reached the level of fanatical faith, and she had always been able to exert some influence on Emerald.
However, Emeryte had always been cautious and protected herself with magic at all times, so she had previously blocked out this influence.
However, the battle with Rei last night, especially Rei's final Ascension Sword, still has a powerful effect remaining in Amelite's body, making Amelite more delicate than usual, and thus she was unable to completely shield herself from Marcy's influence.
In addition, Marcy's recent close emotional expression, combined with the accumulated influence that had been suppressed in the past, has led to the current outcome.
Of course, Marcy certainly didn't have any bad intentions towards Emerald; she wanted to help Emerald just like Julia.
Unlike Julia, who wanted to fight alongside Emerald, Marcy's idea was to dedicate her own power to Emerald, making Emerald stronger by sacrificing herself.
Even after obtaining her own fusion organ, Marcy's thoughts remained unchanged. If she could offer her own fusion organ to Emerald, she would not hesitate at all.
It was this pure and fervent spirit of dedication that sparked the miracle.
Marcy's fusion organ is still her own and will not disappear because Emery gets a third fusion organ.
The power of belief is the strongest magic. Under Marcy's pure and resolute prayer, her own fusion organ and the same organ in Amelie's body underwent a strange reaction, somewhat like quantum entanglement, and the two assimilated.
Therefore, the Moon Spring Body in Amelie's chest suddenly began to transform into magic, evolving into a fusion organ with almost no hindrance.
When a fusion-stage mage attempts to magicalize an organ, it should theoretically become increasingly difficult as more organs are fused. Therefore, many fusion-stage mages ultimately die because of the failure to magicalize new organs.
However, Amelie's acquisition of this third fusion organ was much smoother than her acquisition of the first two fusion organs... because it was Marcy's voluntary offering, and Marcy bore almost all the costs.
When Emerald's Moon Spring Body magic fusion was finally completed, Marcy, exhausted but satisfied, leaned against Emerald's feet and fell asleep.
"...Although you haven't really fought alongside me yet, you've always been using your strength to help me, Sisi."
Seeing this, Emery pulled Marcy into her arms, and as a lady of high status, allowed the maid Marcy to enjoy a lap pillow, even lowering her head to gently kiss Marcy's cheek.
"It's so good to have you here."
Marcy didn't wake up, but her eyelids twitched, and the already satisfied expression on her face became even happier.
Emerald gently stroked Marcy's long red hair with one hand, and slowly closed her eyes while still sitting. But she wasn't sleeping; instead, she began to study the performance of the new fused organ.
This new fusion organ, Luna Spring Body, was formed through a strange reaction similar to quantum entanglement with Marcy's fusion organ, Luna Spring Body. However, it is completely different from Marcy's abilities. It cannot produce liquid life flame essence and does not even have any active skills.
However, the fact that it is not an active skill does not mean that there is no improvement. On the contrary, this new fusion organ greatly improves Amelie's combat ability and also gives Amelie some new abilities that she herself finds both funny and frustrating.
For fusion-stage mages, the third fusion organ is a crucial step, almost equivalent to a grand mage establishing their own concept of magic.
Emery wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of the other fusion-stage mages, but she believed that having a passive ability for the third fusion organ was the optimal solution, maximizing the improvement.
The ability of Emerald's third fused organ is just like that; it's an overall enhancement of her other two fused organs and her overall strength.
Like Ameliete's second fused organ, which is her heart, its original ability was to synchronize her progress in holy magic and necromancy. If one of them improved, the other would also improve unconditionally. It also allowed her to switch between the two types of magic without loss.
Even if you can switch without loss, you still need to switch, and you can't use two kinds of magic at the same time. But the third fusion organ, the Moon Spring Body, solves this problem, allowing Amelie to use necromancy and holy magic at the same time.
Naturally, Emerald's first fused organ, her radiant golden right eye, also received an enhancement, gaining some strange and unusual eye-related abilities.
For example, Emerald can now infuse other girls with her life force simply by using the gaze of her right eye, making anyone she stares at pregnant.
Of course, she can also use her gaze to directly detonate the magic power within the target's body, instantly killing weaker enemies whose strength is somewhat inferior to hers, which is equivalent to using the Corpse Explosion Technique on a living person.
Even more, Emerald could, like a hacker in a cyberpunk game from her past life, gain ultimate control over the opponent's magical artifact with a single glance, causing the artifact to attack her or providing false information to mislead the target's actions.
In short, the acquisition of the third fusion organ has made Amelie's abilities more diverse than those of her first two fusion organs, ensuring that even without having studied magic or possessing magical artifacts, she will not lack offensive and defensive means in battle.
This only refers to the improvement in abilities and techniques. The biggest improvement that the third fusion organ brings to a fusion-stage mage is actually the increase in magic power, or rather, the increase in numerical value.
Each fusion organ is close to an infinite source of magic power, or in other words, the fusion organ can theoretically produce an infinite amount of magic power. However, the output power is limited, so when the rate of magic power consumption is too high, the fusion-stage mage will also run out of magic power.
When Amelie had her second fused organ, her heart, her mana recovery speed and mana intensity doubled compared to when she only had her golden right eye.
Now that she has a third fused organ, it's naturally an upgrade, and this time it's not just a simple 50% increase, but an upgrade of at least 3 times.
The three primary colors of light can be mixed to create a colorful array of colors. There is a saying among Eastern cultivators that the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
The fusion organs seem to operate on a similar principle. The third fusion organ not only enhanced the abilities of the first two fusion organs but also strengthened their numerical values, creating a unique synergy that allows the generation of magic power to circulate endlessly.
If the numerical improvement when acquiring the second fused organ is 1+1, then the numerical improvement of this third fused organ is roughly equivalent to 2x2x2. Furthermore, it makes the numerical improvement of each subsequent new fused organ multiplicative, rather than additive.
Normally, obtaining the third fusion organ should be a crucial step for a Fusion Stage mage. Its difficulty is even higher than obtaining the first fusion organ when advancing from a Control-level mage to the Fusion Stage, and it is also the greatest risk of death for every Fusion Stage mage.
Even someone as proud as Amelie never considered acquiring a third fusion organ in a short period of time. Instead, she sought to improve herself through other means, because the risks of forcibly acquiring a third fusion organ were too great.
Unexpectedly, because of Marcy, Amelie's process of obtaining the third fusion organ became the easiest one yet, which made her quite happy and made her like Marcy even more.
Moreover, after gaining both a magical concept and a third fusion organ, Amelie suddenly had an epiphany. She seemed to understand why no one in the West had ever been able to advance to the fourth stage of magical cultivation.
Because both magicians and sorcerers are too specialized.
Magicians who focus too much on theory and mindset are like learned scholars with weak constitutions. The later they get, the greater the physical gap between them and mages becomes. Some great magicians even completely abandon their physical bodies.
Mages are the complete opposite. They are like illiterate physical education students. The fusion of organs greatly enhances their physical abilities, but they lack the corresponding theoretical knowledge of magic and the understanding of their own mind.
The elven mages are too arrogant. Even though they have been defeated by human fusion-stage mages many times, they still look down on the mage's way of training.
Human mages don't have the arrogance of elven mages, but most of them also lack the talent of elven mages. They have to devote all their energy to practicing the magic they specialize in, and they simply don't have the extra energy to try the training methods of a mage.
As for human mages... if a human truly has the talent to cultivate magic, their top priority would definitely be to enter the Lohid Magic Academy and become a mage, rather than simply training their own magical power to act as a portable battery for magical devices.
All these factors combined have resulted in the fact that, over the years, no one in the entire Western continent has ever pursued both the paths of magician and sorcerer simultaneously, and progressed to great distances almost in parallel, like Ameliete.
Therefore, no one has ever been as enlightened as Emery now, knowing that this is likely the true condition for reaching the fourth stage of a magic practitioner:
By fully mastering one's own magical concepts and simultaneously enabling the nine fused organs within the body to form resonance circuits, one can achieve a sublimation of life level and transcend the world.
The road ahead is still long, but at least Emerald now knows that the theoretical path she took before was wrong, and she knows how to take the real path.
. . . . .
The night passed quickly, and Amelie's third fusion organ was successfully obtained, and she fully recovered.
When she absorbed a large amount of magic from the surroundings to transform the Moon Spring Body in her heart into magic, it did indeed attract the attention of some powerful individuals who came over curiously to see what was going on. However, after seeing Yulia, who was extremely aggressive like a lioness protecting her cubs, they all silently retreated.
Although she really wanted to spend a couple of days with the girls around her, Emerald still had a lot of mess left behind after Rei disappeared.
Yesterday, Amelie wasn't feeling well and could slack off, but not today.
After recovering, Amelie did two things first.
The first step is to notify the new president, Gavrilo, and instruct him to cancel all those outrageous and absurd decrees that were previously used as pranks, so that everything in the Federation can return to normal.
Gaif naturally wouldn't refuse. Of course, he had long been completely controlled by Lian's magic, and now his control was also inherited by Amelie along with the Jade Ruyi—so the rumors that the new Grand Commander was actually a witch's puppet were no longer just rumors.
The second thing was that Emerald used her authority as the owner of the Merson Ring to initiate an emergency meeting of the core members of the Merson family, and at the meeting, she reported some things that could be said about Lian to the elders of the family.
Amelie didn't say that Lian was the humanity abandoned by the Dao Ancestor, nor did she mention that the Dao Ancestor would forcibly merge with the Dao a year later.
She only said that Lian was indeed the Dao Ancestor, and that she came to the Federation just to have fun, to make up for three regrets in her previous life.
He opens a restaurant, uses non-violent means to support a puppet to become the Grand Commander, and has a romantic affair with the Federation's most beautiful woman.
Emerald declared without any modesty that she was the most beautiful woman in the Federation, and that she had personally fulfilled Rei's wish by sending him back to the Eastern Kingdom, while also fully accepting everything Rei had left behind in the Federation.
Although the elders in the family were speechless at Amelie's report, they still acknowledged and praised her abilities and achievements, which had always been evident to all.
Beauty is a woman's natural weapon. Being able to use beauty to solve a crisis is not shameful for a woman; it is even a kind of honor.
So, in essence, this matter was another instance where Emerald resolved a major risk and hidden danger for the Allen Federation, further elevating her status within the family.
When Amelie attended her first meeting of the family's core members, she was the only junior member and always waited for the elders to finish speaking before she could speak.
Now, in less than a year, Amelie has long held the central position in the core family meetings. She is the first person everyone listens to before discussing things with each other, and her opinions are fully considered when making final decisions.
After the discussion about Rei ended, the meeting did not end. Everyone took the opportunity to ask Emerald when she would take action against the Ise Rei Foundation.
There was no other way. Knowing that Emerald was going to take action against the Ise Regiment Group this year, the Melson family borrowed a lot of money from the Ise Regiment Group, all of which were high-interest loans. Now, every month when the repayment date arrives, they feel the pinch because of the interest.
Many people have long wanted to take action against the Ise Rei Group, but they have been holding back for fear of ruining Emerald's plans... Now that more than half of autumn has passed, it's time to make a move.
In response, Amelie replied with kind words, asking the already anxious elders to wait patiently.
The new president, Gafue, has only been in office for a short time, and he has previously issued a series of prank decrees. If the Ise Group were to collapse at this time, it could easily trigger some unexpected risks and chain reactions.
Therefore, Emery's opinion is to wait a while longer, until winter, until the situation in the Federation is more stable, and until preparations are more complete, before taking action.
Amelie's suggestion was reasonable and well-founded, and her words carried weight. Naturally, the others respected her opinion and agreed to wait.
The meeting then discussed some other family matters before concluding.
"Regarding the Ise Retsu Group... well, it's time to make preparations."
After disconnecting the conference link from the Merson Ring, Emerald sighed softly.
To be honest, after gaining her current strength and experiencing the oppressive aura of the Dao Ancestor, Emerald is no longer as concerned about the Ise Retsu Foundation.
But since it was a plan that had been in place for a long time, and the Melson family does indeed owe the Ise Retsu Group too much money... then let the Ise Retsu Group disappear.
In any case, whether in her past life or now, Emerald has always felt a deep aversion to disgusting creatures like squid spirits.
The difficulty in eliminating those squid demons lies not in force, but in having a legitimate reason to attack.
If they were to destroy the Ise Group simply because they owed it too much money, the operation would be like someone from the Sima family in Amelie's previous life pointing at Luoshui and farting, causing the financial credibility of the Allen Federation to collapse completely and triggering huge economic turmoil.
Fortunately, it's not difficult to have a legitimate reason for doing so, since those squid spirits are not human. As long as they are said to be treacherous monsters lurking in human society, and with appropriate media manipulation of public opinion, the extermination of the squid spirits can be made a matter of course.
The squid spirit has managed to hide in the Allen Federation for so many years, which shows it's quite capable.
After all, although Emery was extremely talented, the Allen Federation had produced many other brilliant and powerful individuals before her, but none of them had discovered the true form of the squid demon.
The squid spirits' ability to disguise themselves as any race and blend in perfectly is their most powerful and disgusting ability.
Even now, Emerald isn't confident she can tell the difference between a squid spirit disguised as a human with 100% accuracy, because it's a complete disguise from body to soul. Many squid spirits don't even know they're squid spirits; they've believed they're human since they were born.
Fortunately, while this disguise ability is powerful, it is not insurmountable.
At least the merfolk and fish-men who drove the squid spirits out of the ocean back then had a way to make the squid spirits reveal their true forms.
Although that was a thousand years ago, and there are not many people among the merfolk and fish-men who still know this technology, Xia Sha happens to be the former high priest of the merfolk, in charge of almost all the knowledge inheritance of the merfolk, including the method of identifying squid spirits.
"A way to make the squid demon reveal its true form? Hmm, I do have one."
Shasha strongly supports Emerald's plan to eliminate the squid demon, because the merfolk and fish-men are the ones who hate the squid demon the most in the world. The only time these two races, who have been in constant conflict and war, have joined forces without holding grudges was in the extermination of the squid demon.
"However..."
Xia Sha thought for a moment and then said:
"The method we used back then was to mix a kind of magic potion into the seawater, and then all the squid spirits that passed through that area, no matter what they disguised themselves as, would reveal their true forms... But it seems that this is not possible on land?"
