Chapter 191: Learned Everything
Even Lester and the other two Resonators couldn’t survive this endless barrage of sword lights. Amid countless dazzling sword beams, there was no difference between Resonators and apprentices, all completely perished.
"So this is the technique you understood from the Harvest Goddess’s battle diagram?"
Amelia was nearly dumbfounded.
Carlotta smiled slightly and said, "That’s right. I can ’harvest’ my understanding of the Elven Knight path and store them within the grains. When released all at once, their power rivals the Elven Symphony, and can even cover a wider area. The future potential is even greater."
She explained that each sword beam was a fusion of past Echoes of Elven Steel. Although appearing simple, each beam contains numerous variations and immense destructive power.
However, she couldn’t yet integrate all echoes into the grains, meaning she couldn’t store the Elven Symphony itself within them.
"But I will be able to in the future," Carlotta said softly.
Currently, the grains had limited capacity, but as her rank advanced, their storage capability would increase, eventually allowing them to contain the Elven Symphony itself.
Imagine the terrifying scene when all the grains split open, releasing nothing but Elven Symphonies.
Furthermore, since the Harvest Goddess’s ability wasn’t part of the Elven Melodies, it had a higher ceiling. In the distant future, she could even cultivate attacks stronger than the Elven Symphony within the grains, the resulting destructive power would be truly scary.
After eliminating all her opponents with a single move, Carlotta descended to collect her spoils.
The biggest prize was undoubtedly the alchemical ship. She directly stored it inside the Stellar Workshop. Instantly, the progress bar for the second-stage ship increased by 10%.
Besides that, Carlotta also found various other treasures on the defeated.
"No alchemical armor? Seems this item is quite rare."
Carlotta muttered to herself.
Although she didn’t obtain any alchemical armor, she acquired a large quantity of alchemical materials and finished alchemical creations. No wonder, these people were indeed from Mechanical Fortress.
After placing all these items into the Stellar Workshop, the second-stage ship’s progress reached 13%. Since New Moon wasn’t inside the furnace, its corresponding 30% progress wasn’t counted.
Carlotta murmured, "I feel like building the second-stage ship has become closely tied to Mechanical Fortress. Whether I can complete it seems entirely dependent on them."
Mechanical Fortress was an organization centered around alchemy. Regardless of anything else, their stockpile of alchemical materials and various alchemical items was undoubtedly immense.
Amelia couldn’t help but feel strange hearing this. Mechanical Fortress was a massive organization, yet Carlotta now had her eyes firmly set on them, clearly planning to fleece them thoroughly.
"It seems we’re really going all-out against Mechanical Fortress," Amelia said.
"Of course. They’ve repeatedly caused me trouble. Even if they want to settle things now, I won’t let it go. Whenever I get the chance, I’ll strike back."
Carlotta stated firmly.
The reputation of a large Transcendent organization couldn’t intimidate her. She already regards the Wendell Empire as an opponent, how much more than a mere supernatural organization?
Afterward, Carlotta and Amelia returned to Island 97. This experiment with the Harvest Goddess left Carlotta fairly satisfied, making her even more eager for the remaining battle diagrams.
However, before reaching the middle tier Resonator stage, even if she mastered the next battle diagram, the War Goddess’s battle diagram, she wouldn’t be able to fully cultivate it. That would require more time.
Of course, Carlotta felt that time wasn’t far off.
Once her magical transformation reached 40%, her body will undergo certain metamorphoses, officially making her a middle tier Resonator. In recent days, she hadn’t stopped advancing her magical transformation. Since mastering the Harvest Goddess’s battle diagram, her progress had accelerated dramatically. Currently, her magical transformation has already reached 20%.
Forty percent were no longer far away.
"I’m almost becoming a low-rank Resonator too," Amelia said, sensing her own level of magical transformation.
Undoubtedly, Amelia’s progress was frighteningly fast, enough to terrify those hailed as geniuses.
Carlotta couldn’t help but feel impressed. Amelia didn’t have the same cheat-like advantages as her, yet was still so powerful.
Amelia, however, didn’t feel complacent. She believed this might be related to her environment.
A person’s living environment greatly determines their achievements.
Staying long-term with mediocrities inevitably made one mediocre.
Staying long-term with truly exceptional people naturally drew one closer to excellence.
Having spent so long with Carlotta, Amelia felt she’d been significantly influenced. If she hadn’t chosen to leave the Wendell Empire with Carlotta back then, she guessed she’d only be an early tier Listener now.
This phenomenon had a saying in Carlotta’s world before her transmigration, "He who keeps company with the vermilion gets stained red; he who keeps company with ink gets stained black."
After returning to Island 97, Amelia and Carlotta exchanged insights on cultivating for a while, then fell asleep at noon nearly.
Eight hours later, they woke up as scheduled.
The sky hadn’t darkened yet. After washing up and having a meal, night gradually fell.
Today, Valerie arrived earlier, inquiring about Carlotta’s cultivation progress.
"I haven’t grasped the subsequent content yet."
Carlotta said. It wasn’t midnight yet, her cheat ability couldn’t activate.
Valerie thought this was perfectly normal. If she still woke up having comprehended an entire battle diagram, wouldn’t that terrify the Elves?
She remained calm, continuing to instruct Carlotta about the remaining battle diagrams, from the War Goddess’s battle diagram to the Wisdom Goddess’s battle diagram, explaining each one in turn so Carlotta could remember their details.
In the blink of an eye, several more hours passed, and dawn arrived again.
Carlotta made an excuse to rest, sitting inside the moonlit treehouse, quietly opening her information screen.
[ 1: The cultivation method for the War Goddess’s battle diagram is as follows...]
[ 2: The cultivation method for the Wisdom Goddess’s battle diagram is as follows...]
[ 3: The cultivation method for the Star Goddess’s battle diagram is as follows...]
Today’s intelligence contains cultivating methods for various mythological diagram battles, covering every one that Valerie had taught her.
Carlotta changed at it and immediately felt exhilarated, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face.
She was about to activate her cheat!
Immediately, Carlotta focused on the intelligence about the War Goddess’s battle diagram. Seeing the information appear, she submerged herself in it at a single glance, beginning to comprehend this battle diagram she couldn’t yet cultivate. Although she couldn’t cultivate it yet, nothing stopped her from understanding its general principles ahead of time.
War Goddess Battle Diagram, Wisdom Goddess Battle Diagram...
One after another, the battle diagrams provided as intelligence appeared before Carlotta, plunging her into a profound state of understanding.
The moonlight was cool like water, draping the treehouse in a silvery veil, giving it a hazy, ethereal beauty.
Amelia sat beside Carlotta, gently stroking her long hair before quietly settling down at her side.
Not long after, she silently completed 1% transformation, thus reaching the stage of an early tier Resonator.
This progress was fast, but compared to Carlotta, it didn’t seem absurd, almost appearing somewhat "normal."
When Transcendents became early tier Resonators, there was no noticeable sign, since only 1% of their body underwent transformation. Only if someone drastically increased their transformation ratio within a short time would there be any significant reaction.
Time passed swiftly.
Night deepened, the forest fell into serene silence, with only the distant sound of ocean tides occasionally drifting through.
During this time, Veleria came by several times to check on Carlotta, intending to create more mythic battle diagrams for her to see. But seeing Carlotta constantly submerged in a strange state of enlightenment, she could only quietly leave.
"How strange... It’s like she’s comprehended something. Could it be one of the mythic battle diagrams that triggered her insight?"
Veleria was curious.
She remembered that previously, Carlotta had entered this same state, and after a few hours of insight, completely grasped the essence of the Harvest Goddess Battle Diagram.
Could the same phenomenon happen again?
"She’s truly an incredible genius... Although this time, her period of enlightenment seems even longer."
Veleria gazed deeply at Carlotta before vanishing into the forest depths, merging with nature as she continued her own training.
Gradually, dawn arrived.
Soft sunlight spilled down, filling the forest with a warm atmosphere.
Harmless small animals darted through the woods, fawns, rabbits, fluff-balls, adding a lively vitality to the area.
Bathed in the morning light, Carlotta opened her eyes.
"So that’s how it is..."
She had achieved profound understanding.
The subsequent War Goddess Battle Diagram, the Wisdom Goddess Battle Diagram, she had already figured them all out. Once her rank reached the appropriate level, she could instantly apply her own techniques derived from these two battle diagrams.
As for the even more advanced battle diagrams, she only had a rough understanding. She hadn’t deeply understood them yet, since the rank gap was too large. Those profound contents were currently beyond her level.
But at this stage, she didn’t really need to deeply understand those mythic battle diagrams anyway.
"Have you finished your enlightenment?"
Veleria’s figure suddenly appeared before Carlotta.
Even though Carlotta’s strength was now extraordinary, she still couldn’t detect how Veleria had appeared. The other’s strength was beyond expectations.
"Ms. Graham, thank you very much for your guidance. I believe I’ve grasped things quite well."
Carlotta smiled.
"How far have you understood?"
Veleria asked with concern.
"Not very far. I’d say I’ve roughly memorized them."
Carlotta replied.
She couldn’t afford to show that she had already grasped the essence of two mythic battle diagrams, otherwise she’d be too conspicuous. Although Veleria didn’t seem hostile, it was better to stay low-key.
"Just memorized? To what extent have you memorized them?"
Veleria continued questioning.
"Like this..."
Magic surged from Carlotta’s palm, transforming into silver light as she began constructing mythic battle diagrams.
She didn’t draw them in intricate detail, instead sketching rough outlines, yet she managed to depict all the subsequent mythic battle diagrams.
Even with such simple sketches, Veleria’s eyes trembled repeatedly, overwhelmed by deep shock.
So many mythic battle diagrams, this young girl actually had a rough understanding of all of them? How unbelievable was this?
How much time had passed? For her to reach this point already, this was genius in the truest sense.
"Just a rough understanding, nothing profound."
Carlotta humbly said.
"That’s already enough," Veleria said with complex eyes. "You’re now at the stage where practicing these mythic battle diagrams as an elf will allow other elves to follow the path and continue their cultivation."
Although the mythic battle diagrams were too simplified, those practicing them would progress slowly, the mere fact that someone could achieve this was already astonishing.
She continued, "I think... I can’t teach you anything more. With what you’ve grasped, it’s already sufficient. If you wish to understand more in the future, you can create your own mythic battle diagrams and enlighten yourself."
"I wouldn’t have reached this point without your help, madam."
Carlotta said.
"What a pity."
Veleria showed a face full of regret. "It’s a shame you’ve already specialized in Card Magic. Otherwise, if you had started cultivating the Elven Knight path from the beginning, you’d certainly have achieved something extraordinary."
Amelia, who had just stopped training and turned to look, nearly lost control of her expression upon hearing this.
In the distant past, she too had lamented Carlotta’s choice of Card Magic, thinking Carlotta’s talent in Elven Knight path would be wasted. But now, she naturally knew that wouldn’t happen, Carlotta’s talent in Elven Knight path had been excellently utilized.
But there was no need to tell Veleria that.
"Indeed, it’s a pity. Ah, I was born at the wrong time."
Carlotta sighed along.
This almost made Amelia burst out laughing, and she quickly turned her gaze away.
After a while of conversation, Carlotta chose to leave.
Veleria could no longer teach her anything, so there was no reason to stay.
Besides, Veleria had told her that she might soon face a troublesome enemy, possibly someone within the Top Ten of the wanted list. Carlotta was advised not to linger around Island 97.
"Can’t you ask the other administrators of the Bass Council for help? A wanted criminal shouldn’t be faced by you alone."
Carlotta couldn’t help but say.
"I’ve already notified them. We’ll make proper arrangements. Still, the area around Island 97 won’t be safe for a while. It’s best if you don’t stay long."
Veleria said.
"I understand. Then... until we meet again. Goodbye, Ms. Graham."
Carlotta waved and departed.
She took Amelia with her, flying away from the area.
In the end, she didn’t even need to go to Elven Home to obtain the subsequent Elven Knight path she desired. Now, all that remained has been to steadily enhance her strength. Once powerful enough, she will return to the Wendell Empire and trample everyone who had once stood against her beneath her feet!
