Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 780 - 354: Abyssal Proxy (Part 2)

Karazek's skeletal fingers glided across the throne's armrest, producing a harsh creaking noise:

"Attempting to infiltrate once more is far tougher now than it was before."

A tormented human visage surfaced from Mira’s fluid body:

"The core issue stems from the nature of Abyssal Power. It inherently carries chaotic and warped qualities, and any being that takes it in will eventually succumb to insanity."

"Even when we meticulously regulate the power output, supplying only the simplest energy boost, gradual and irreversible changes to the personality still take hold over time."

Shivana’s belly writhed fiercely, the larvae within growing more restless from their mother's distress:

"This forms the central dilemma we confront. Agents without Abyssal Power lack the strength to fulfill missions; those with it inevitably plunge into madness."

Nocturn’s contorted form twisted unnaturally, his head spinning a full 360 degrees:

"And even if agents preserve their sanity, reaching a high rank in the Wizard System proves nearly impossible for them.

After all, Abyssal Power clashes directly with the Wizard Magic System, and grasping two completely rival power systems at once is virtually unattainable."

The whole council hall sank into a profound hush.

This challenge had plagued them across endless eras.

Each trial demanded vast resources and labor, yet invariably collapsed in defeat.

Slowly, even the most hopeful Supreme Apostles started questioning if this route could ever succeed.

Yet right then, Maggs broke the silence:

"But... lately, I've stumbled upon a remarkable chance."

All nine of its eyes gleamed at once, radiating thrilled, multicolored beams:

"A chance that could utterly rewrite the game's rules."

Every Apostle turned their gaze toward Maggs.

"This chance originates from the ’King of Blood’ Aiden."

Hearing that name, the Apostles displayed deeply mixed reactions.

"That half-weakened fake king?" Agatha’s tone dripped with obvious scorn:

"Hasn’t he been stuck in the Chaotic Blood World for ages, barely able to fend for himself?"

"From what I know, his power is the weakest among all Witch Kings; even certain top Great Wizards can match him."

One of Malachy’s human heads inquired: "What could a creature like that possibly give us?"

Maggs issued a cryptic chuckle:

"You’ve fixated on his flaws but ignored his key strength—his expertise in Bloodline Modulation has soared to unheard-of levels."

"Bloodline Modulation?"

"Precisely." Maggs proceeded to explain:

"While Aiden lacks raw power, his methods for merging and altering bloodlines outshine even the former Selena’s. Particularly his profound grasp on blending bloodlines from diverse races in harmony."

"Even more vital, he commands a unique method—the ’Bloodline Isolation Technique’. It fully separates the Chaos Factor from the bloodline while preserving its power intact."

This revelation sparked excitement in every Apostle’s eyes.

Should this method exist, it could shatter the main barrier in the agent scheme.

"However..." Nas ventured carefully:

"Why would Aiden aid us? Given what he knows about us, he’d recognize the dangers of partnering."

Maggs’ laugh grew darker:

"Because he requires our assistance. The Chaotic Blood World may be his territory, but he can’t fully tame its chaos."

"And we hold what he desperately craves."

Malachy questioned eagerly: "So... mutual benefit through exploitation?"

"Spot on." Maggs affirmed with a nod:

"We deploy our legions and followers to aid him, and he hands over the Bloodline Isolation Technology. A balanced exchange that profits us both immensely."

"Furthermore..." Its tone turned even more enigmatic:

"Aiden has employed this technology to craft a flawless specimen already."

"Specimen?"

"None other than the Blood Tear Duke Asmond."

This name stunned all the Apostles.

Though merely a standard Apostle in the Abyss, Blood Tear Duke’s potential and rapid rise were beyond dispute.

He also commanded a Blood Race network spanning the Main World, perfect for intel collection and mission execution.

"You mean... Asmond is Aiden’s creation?" Shivana demanded in disbelief.

Karazek nodded, showing keen interest:

"If Asmond represents a true success, this scheme merits pursuit. It appears far superior to our past clumsy approaches."

The rest of the Apostles started weighing the idea with gravity.

After countless setbacks, they’d grown prudent and logical.

"What’s the detailed alliance strategy?" Mira inquired.

Maggs projected an intricate magical hologram, revealing a orb-like energy formation:

"We’ll fuse segments of origin power from every Supreme Apostle to forge an unparalleled Throne Seed.

This seed will inherit all our ability traits, yet refined via Aiden’s Bloodline Isolation Technology, it won’t warp the host’s personality."

"The agent shaped by the King of Blood has already slipped into the Wizard System undetected."

Maggs elaborated on the scheme:

"Unlike our earlier rough products, this agent was crafted with utmost care to safeguard its sanity and core identity."
