My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

Chapter 168: God’s Descent

“Master, why did you give gold-tier items to others but not to me? Are you not concerned about me, your most adorable disciple? I am your disciple. If you gave items to the Blackmoon Knights and allowed them to surpass me, would not I lose face as their master? I don’t want that. As a leader, if my subordinates surpass me, I will disappoint them. If I disappoint my subordinates, I will feel bad. If I feel bad, I won’t be able to eat. If I can’t eat, I won’t be in the mood to train. If I can’t train, I won’t be able to become stronger. If I can’t become stronger, I will embarrass you—” historical

Watson winked at the astrologer as he spoke in a coquettish tone.

The astrologer was speechless. “Just as I expected, a master is the same as his subordinates. Why would you say the same thing as your captain?”

They were back in Blackmoon Castle. The astrologer had returned there after he had distributed his gold-tier tools. He wanted to tell Watson that he had already instructed the Blackmoon Knights according to the requirements. In return, Watson would have to cultivate properly.

However, he felt a headache coming on after he heard Watson’s statements. He had distributed all the high-quality items he had on him; there was nothing left for Watson.

“I don’t care. Since you have given them gold-tier items, then you’ll have to give me one too.” Watson shook the astrologer’s hand. “I don’t want much either, Master; you can give me an ordinary gold-tier item.”

An ordinary gold-tier tool?

A platinum-tier tool was the most valuable thing in the world. There were only a few, followed by gold-tier tools. Many great nobles were qualified to equip it. He was already wealthy enough to have 24 gold cards on him at all times. Why was Watson displeased?

“Well, I don’t have any gold-tier tools on me now. As compensation, I’ll teach you something.”

He had planned to teach Watson two spells in a week, but looking at the situation, if he did not give Watson some benefits, Watson would not give up. He would have to make an exception and teach Watson another spell.

With that thought, the astrologer extended his right index finger and gently touched Watson’s forehead. Many memories rolled into Watson’s mind.

[Platinum-tier special magic, astrology: Observe the stars and predict your future and others’ future within a certain period. Can only make a simple prediction and obtain high-tier astrology knowledge and the production method of the Astrology Tarot Cards.]

[High-tier astrology knowledge: can distinguish directions and can make related items.]

[Astrology Tarot Card: can use the World Tree’s branches as the trump card to attract the radiance of the stars. The image of a God will be depicted on it, obtaining power comparable to that of a gold-tier elite.]

As knowledge surged into his mind, a mysterious universe faintly appeared in Watson’s mind. Stars floated in it. Then, they shattered, exploded, and grew again. It contained countless amounts of knowledge; it squeezed his brain cells. It made his brain hurt, and his soul felt like it was about to be ejected from his body.

At that moment, the sound of a system notification sounded.

[Some knowledge can be fused—astrology and the production method of the Astrology Tarot Cards. Would you like to fuse them? ]

“Fuse!”

Watson elected to fuse them after he squeezed out a bit of strength and endured the pain.

[Congratulations, Master, for a successful fusion. You have obtained a platinum-tier special spell, God’s Descent. Use the tarot cards that you have created to fuse with your own body, and you can temporarily summon the power of a God, unleashing the power of a platinum-tier elite.]

The knowledge in Watson’s mind settled after a successful fusion. He had accumulated many years of knowledge, which made his eyes profound. He no longer had the naivety of a child; he was wiser.

The astrologer glanced at him nervously while he was fusing the knowledge. The astrologer was well aware of the breadth of knowledge he had conveyed to him. An ordinary person’s head would explode if they accepted so much information so suddenly. Watson would not have dared to do so if it had not been for his monstrous talent.

He relaxed and heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed Watson was alright after acquiring such a large amount of knowledge. Sure enough, his disciple did not let him down.

‘I keep getting the impression that the knowledge my master has imparted to me is strangely familiar.’

After he settled down and felt the sense of familiarity, Watson thought for a bit and suddenly remembered where it had originated. There was something called tarot cards in the realm he had been transmigrated. He had done extensive research on mysticism because he was fascinated by that.

There were 24 tarot cards, and each card had its own meaning. They were the mage, the priestess, the queen, the emperor, and the fool card that was really in the middle. The entire set of tarot cards depicted things that the fool encountered in his life journey.

The tarot cards represented not only fate but also life.

The tarot cards in that world were very similar to the ones in his previous life.

The astrologer’s knowledge of astrology bequeathed to him was essentially the same as his previous life’s knowledge. He could make items like star compasses and binoculars. He would never get lost with that information, and he could play essential roles in specific sectors.

Apart from that, a complete star map corresponding to that world appeared in his mind. It included the Scorpio constellation that corresponded to the mage card and the Virgo constellation represented by the priestess card.

“Isn’t that the 12 Zodiac signs? Perhaps this world had some connection with my previous world.”

Most of the stars in that world were new to him, but there were some familiar galaxies as well.

Watson pondered that in his heart. Ever since he transmigrated to that world, he had never thought about how to get back. Well, that was when he was only a down-and-out baron’s eighth child. He did not have enough to eat, so how could he think about that? Everything had changed; he had grown more powerful.

Perhaps in the future, he would have a way to find his way back, or he might never be able to go back. However, he was excited to know that the world was connected to his original home.

Watson calmed himself down and began to research on how to construct tarot cards. The tarot cards were made with only two materials. One was the World Tree’s branches, and the other was the radiance of the stars. Those were initially quite stringent requirements. After all, the World Tree could only be found in the Southern Elves Forest, and the stars’ brightness could only be activated by light-elemental magic.

Coincidentally, he had the World Tree’s shadow, a peak platinum-tier tool, and could create branches of the World Tree at any time and place. He was also very good at light-elemental magic; the card-making method was tailor-made for him.

As Watson attempted to create the star tarot card and test out the freshly fused platinum-tier magic God’s Descend, he overheard the astrologer say, “Watson, astrology is a vast and profound science that has been passed down through generations. It has now evolved into a complete system as a result of my modifications! This is even more difficult than platinum-tier mage skills. I will give you a month to learn it; you must study diligently.”

He had planned to teach Watson that knowledge in a few years. Watson had compressed that time because he could study platinum-tier magic in an instant.

Watson, presumably, would not be able to learn such things in a month. Watson had always been quick to pick up new skills from him. Even if he did not say it aloud, he was deeply mortified in his heart. However, that was different. If Watson were unable to learn it, he would have to seek the astrologer’s counsel. The old man could then demonstrate his authority as a master.

The astrologer brushed his beard with a smirk that indicated he had devised a plan. Suddenly, he heard Watson exclaim, “Master, I have learned it in less than a month.” His smile froze on his face.

“Watson, are you sure you have learned it? Don’t lie to me!”

“Of course not. If Master does not believe me, I will show you now.”

Watson opened his right hand as he spoke, and a branch of the World Tree squirmed out of his palm. The branch snapped and squirmed into a wooden card. A bright star in the sky suddenly pierced through the heavy clouds, and light descended. The card depicted a god holding an olive branch; it was the first mage card.

Then, the card turned into a stream of light and fused into his body; it gave him a layer of holy light. It was not only his clothes that were changed; he was also changed. His hair was dyed silver, like twisted bolts of lightning. His eyes had also turned white; mysterious and winding runes had appeared on his body.

At that moment, the aura he emitted was different from that of a human. Instead, it was very similar to the mythical creatures of the dragon race and the Phoenix.

A lightning-shaped starlight olive branch appeared in his hand. Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, and bolts of lightning fell and encircled him. Each lightning bolt struck the ground and flowered into a gorgeous thunder flower; it caused the earth to tremble.

“Watson, you actually learned how to make star tarot cards! Also, why are the tarot cards you made different from the ones I taught you?” The astrologer widened his eyes. “You can’t be—”

After the power of God entered his body, Watson, who had transformed into a mythical creature, turned around with a solemn expression. “That’s right, master. Just as you thought, I’ve absorbed the knowledge you gave me and made some modifications. Are You Satisfied?”

Watson, who had transformed into a mythological creature once the power of God entered his body, turned around solemnly. “You are right, Master. I’ve absorbed the knowledge you gave me and made some modifications. Are you pleased?”
