Chapter 33 - Magic and Origin of Architect

[Wake up, you are standing here for the whole five minutes.]

Said Architect in my head, as I was still surprised by her show of affection. It was the first time in my life, so I didn't know how to properly act.

"Shut up, you metal scrap. Come, we need to conduct more experiments. Tier Magic System needs to be finalized."

I said. Now that I have a good understanding of the Abyssal Runes, I could start the implementation process for my Magic System. Previously, I used the Aesir Runes as a base, which were not of the same origin, so their compatibility wasn't that high.

[With current knowledge available, there is a high possibility to achieve 100% stability for Zero-Tier spells, Combat-Tier spells, and Tactical-Tier spells.]

Stated Architect in my head.

"And when I reach Ultimate-Class I can start experimenting with Strategic-Tier spells, meant for Master Magicians with Ultimate-Class energy reserves. With that, we would have covered the entire devil race, as there are practically no devils that specialize in magic, that are above Ultimate-Class."

Strategic-Tier spells were spells that required mastery over the magic system to cast and were meant for magicians of Ultimate-Class. The destructiveness of these spells was everything from mountains to smaller islands. Still, that was within Architects calculations.

My aim was the creation of Strategic-Class magic for several reasons. For first, I can only create spells of a specific tier only when I have corresponding energy reserves. Secondly, among devils, there were only a very few of those, who had magic as their main form of combat, and all of them were only at the Ultimate-Class.

I went to the underground space, which also served as a testing ground for my experiments.

"Architect, start analysis process on the spell. We are starting with Zero-Tier Fireball."

I said as I started conjuring the Fireball spell with the usage of the Tier Magic System. Within several seconds, the Fireball spell was finished. I knew it was stable, I could feel it instinctively from my experiences as a magician.

"Results."

[Stability is 100%. Compatibility between Abyssal Runes and Devil Magic is perfect.]

Stated Architect his analysis. I was inwardly satisfied hearing this result.

"Ok, then continue, I will start casting other spells of Zero-Tier."

First, one spell I cast was Magic Arrow, which was one of the easiest spells across many magic systems. Then it was Thunder Bolt spell or Electrosphere spell. All of them had the stability of the 100%, meaning the first Tier was my magic system was completed.

"Excellent, now onto the Combat-Tier."

I said with glee in my eyes. With Architect's help, the completion of my new magic system was just a matter of time. I was glad that upon transmigration I had my STC with me.

The Architect wasn't an ordinary A.I. chip. He was prototype artificial intelligence, that would control multiple STC to boost up the production capabilities of the Solar Federation tens of times, allowing our power to at least contends against Aeldari.

STC stands for Standart Template Construct, a pinnacle of humanity's technological advancement. It was an advanced, artificially intelligent computer database, main functions were data storage and fabrication system. It was designed to provide construction details for human colonists during Mankind's early interstellar expansion across the Milky Way Galaxy due to huge technological differences between various colonies.

Then, after witnessing the powers of the Aeldari in terms of production through their Psychic means, which many believed to be sorcery, we searched for a way to enhance the production capabilities of the STC. And then it came, I proposed to create central artificial intelligence, which would be the pinnacle of our technology, with the ability to control all STC's in the Solar Federation. Normally STC needed a human operation, but if such advanced A.I. as Architect operated STC, it could boost up efficiency by tens of times.

That was the birth of the Main Template Controller.

Unfortunately, I died before implementation. Some old folks were concerned that if all STCs are connected to Architect, then if something happens to the MTC all infrastructure would collapse in a single moment, though they were not wrong. That was why, I have secretly connected the Architect to the network, that was why he had such a huge database.

Unfortunately, due to Universal Laws, all designs needed adjustments before they could be implemented.

I started casing Combat-Tier spell, Grand Fireball. It was just a bigger and more complex version of the Fireball spell.

"Results."

[Stability is 100%. Compatibility between Abyssal Runes and Devil Magic is perfect.]

Another success. After repeating this with other spells that were designed as Combat-Tier such as Thunderclap or Magic Missle, I concluded the Combat-Tier as complete.

"Now the last, Tactical-Tier."

This one would be harder a bit, as the destructiveness of these spells was far higher, so I can't make any mistake. Even one would have catastrophic consequences. Tactical-Tier spells could easily destroy towns or even smaller cities.

I started casting the Tactical-Tier spell Dragon Lightning, which generated an enormous dragonhead made out of lightning above me. Fortunately, I had no problem controlling the spell, before dispersing it after some time.

"Analysis."

[Stability is 100%. Compatibility between Abyssal Runes and Devil Magic is perfect.]

Answered Architect in his voice of an elderly man.

"It is done... first three stages of new magic revolution are done."

[Congratulations.]

Said Architect in my head.
