Chapter 900: Chapter 900: Intelligence Rune and New Magic Puppets

"This time, the enhancement is really significant." Zhao Guang felt the surging spiritual power, even suppressing his own Combat Energy. Just in terms of quantity, his Magic Power wasn’t much less than his Combat Energy.

This was even before the breakthrough; if he succeeded, his magical power would be unprecedented.

Indeed, Zhao Guang’s enhancement this time was substantial, because he finally had a breakthrough in his study of runes.

Zhao Guang’s research on Magic Dolls, combined with some artificial intelligence assistance, finally led to the preliminary completion of the Intelligence Rune, granting his Magic Dolls a certain level of intellect, rather than being purely human-controlled machines.

Although this intelligence wasn’t very high, it wasn’t something conventional magic could achieve.

This kind of rune involved some elements of rule comprehension.

Zhao Guang learned about this aspect from the inherited memory of Sephidya, which was the next level after the master level.

The reason he hadn’t broken through was not due to insufficient research, but because his own level wasn’t high enough. The master level is already the pinnacle of technique, and the next level isn’t just about technique anymore.

The next level is called Saint Master Level, which involves touching upon the layer of rule comprehension.

Historically, relying solely on research to reach this level is almost impossible, with only a few exceptional cases.

In most scenarios, one’s own level needs to be at the Legendary Level, and then, leveraging that height, these techniques can be elevated to the same level.

Zhao Guang never thought he had to rely solely on research to break through, as he hadn’t become that conceited.

Moreover, compared to those who broke through with research, he lacked the conditions to do so. f\reewebn ovel(.)com

So, Zhao Guang had temporarily set it aside and took it up again after breaking through the Legendary Level. Unexpectedly, he succeeded within a short time. Even more unexpected was the vast improvement in his spiritual power after the breakthrough.

Once he absorbed the Power of Faith to refine it, his accumulation would basically reach the standard.

Indeed, the next research topic needs to be prioritized, which is the development of his last Talent Magic.

In fact, Zhao Guang had long had ideas about this Talent Magic. Previously, the lack of accumulation made it impossible to complete, but with his increasing strength and enhanced research capabilities, his accumulation is now evidently sufficient.

But for now, Zhao Guang should first focus on creating his New Magic Puppets.

The entirely new Magic Dolls, based on the Intelligence Rune, incorporated some of his improved and optimized runes.

For materials, he still chose ordinary steel, with wood filling the inside. Of course, it’s just regular wood for now, as his territory hasn’t yet cultivated a large scale of high-level Magic Plants.

Later, when he switches to higher-grade wood, the effect should be even better.

After a busy period, the first Magic Doll was created.

"Everyone, come see how my new Magic Doll is." Zhao Guang called everyone over.

"This Magic Doll doesn’t look much different from before, just uglier." Aleya did not hide her disdain. Even as a Beastman, she couldn’t be completely devoid of aesthetic sense.

Zhao Guang felt a bit embarrassed: "This is just a prototype, optimizations for appearance will come later. I meant in terms of the Magic Doll’s abilities and intelligence."

"Intelligence? What intelligence?" Jeana wandered around it.

But at this moment, everyone finally noticed the issue; without Zhao Guang’s command, the Magic Doll actively turned its head to follow Jeana back and forth, seemingly like a curious child.

"Wait, this Magic Doll actually has intelligence, did you seal a soul inside it?"

Sephidya couldn’t understand, but she had some knowledge about this aspect from her memories.

Zhao Guang shook his head: "How could I? If I did that, how many souls would be needed for mass production?" Of course, he knew, as his personal service Magic Puppet No. 8 was created by sealing a soul.

If he hadn’t wanted to avoid this, he could have learned from the Silver Tower long ago.

"My study of runes has reached the Saint Master Level, and this is the effect of the Intelligence Rune I created. This Magic Doll is no longer merely a puppet but an artificial being with the intelligence equivalent to an eight-year-old child."

"Saint Master Level, wow, Master, you’ve actually achieved it."

Sephidya’s surprise was evident, so Zhao Guang quickly signaled with his eyes. Others didn’t know he had broken through to the Legendary Level, and for them, the Saint Master Level was something they were hearing about for the first time.

"Ahem, the Saint Master Level is the level beyond the master level, capable of possessing some extraordinary abilities."

"Indeed, quite extraordinary, but how shall we treat these Magic Dolls in the future, as if they were human?"

Xi Fei looked at the Magic Doll before her, feeling a bit regretful; they were originally meant to be cannon fodder.

"No need for such trouble, after all, they aren’t real beings. They can be treated as thinking weapons for training but remain as cannon fodder when necessary." Zhao Guang had no intention of treating his handmade Magic Dolls like children.

"Besides, there aren’t many of these Magic Dolls; most will still be of the regular variety, used to produce some auxiliary commanders."

Zhao Guang never intended to add the Intelligence Rune to all Magic Dolls, as they had to be handcrafted by him and couldn’t be mass-produced. Moreover, if all Magic Dolls had intelligence, it wouldn’t necessarily be beneficial for an army.

"The runes are located in their cores, so as long as the core isn’t destroyed, if the body is damaged, it’s just a matter of replacing it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; unlike Zhao Guang, they weren’t prepared to consider these entities as mere cannon fodder. Now that they were found to be replaceable, there wasn’t a problem.

"I’ll personally create these special Magic Dolls, which possess strength equivalent to advanced professionals, and especially have stronger defensive power. The Mass-produced Magic Dolls can reach the peak of intermediate professionals’ power and also carry Earth Attribute Spells."

"Earth Attribute Spells, can they cast Combined Magic?"

Zhao Guang shook his head: "No, only a few minor spells, but even so, their combat strength isn’t weak. Besides, these Magic Dolls are constructed with mere wood and iron, so the cost isn’t high, offering good value."

"In that case, conventional security for the territory won’t be a concern. But what about reporting these armies?"

Zhao Guang smiled: "Magic Dolls exist based on the Magic Network, and since they are not biological, why report them?" This was one of Zhao Guang’s original intentions in researching the Demon Puppet Army.
