Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"I doubt it?"

Anse thought for a moment, then turned to his sister and said,

"Renata, do you still remember the core operational mechanism that allows Magic Prohibition Stones to exhibit their 'magic prohibition' capability?"

As a Spellcaster, Renata remembered all sorts of materials that could potentially be used for casting spells much more clearly than her brother did.

Without any hesitation, she said:

"The essence of the Magic Prohibition Stone is actually absorption; by aggressively absorbing external energy, it actively strips away the energy needed to activate Magic Techniques, thus rendering Mages and other Spellcasting users unable to unleash their destructive power.

In fact, if we just go by the name, the term 'Magic Prohibition Stone' is somewhat misleading. According to the data from research done by Mage Academia, these should actually be called 'Magic Absorption Stones.'

"The Spell Truth Supplement" had only in the past few years addressed the topic of Magic Absorption Stones, having received research from various places around the world."

It's worth noting that the most valuable paper among them came from the Ether Particle Research Institute in the Supreme Forest.

They used up a massive amount of Magic Power to drive an Ether Device to unleash terrifying potential, and in less than a second, they managed to push the Magic Absorption Stone's Magic Power capacity to its limits."

"What use is that conclusion?" Anse asked with a furrowed brow.

"As of now, it really doesn't seem to have any use," Renata sighed. "The biggest issue stems from the enormous energy gap that simply cannot be bridged."

"The Magic Absorption Stone actually changes after it has absorbed energy to its full capacity?"

"Yes, and to speak frankly, the Ether Particle Research Laboratory in the Supreme Forest really came up with something impressive...

Although the Magic Power filled into the Magic Absorption Stone during the absorption process can't be well-utilized, as long as the required amount of Magic Energy to completely fill the Magic Absorption Stone is met, the stone will fully enter an active state."

"What's the specific effect?"

"The Ether Particle Laboratory used the highest-quality Magic Absorption Stone, integrated a complete set of Magical Equipment within it, and then directly crafted a humanoid Golem.

In the Ether Particle collision trials, this Golem, as a key focus of the Magic Energy blasts, successfully completed a full-energy charge within the convergence of the Ether Particle energy collision.

The reactivated Advanced Magic Prohibition Stone Golem absorbed an amount of Magic Power equivalent to that of eleven Magic Monarchs at their peak, entered a state of rampage, and its destructive power forced the Magic Monarch to pull it directly into his own Domain, where he could only suppress it using the power of rules."

"Since when could a Magic Monarch's Magic Power capacity serve as a unit of measurement... This doesn't sound reliable at all!"

"That might not necessarily be the case..."

"Oh?"

"Brother, you reminded me of something. For Magic Prohibition Stones, even if equipped with Magic Equipment, the Magic Prohibition Stone Golem cannot move on its own until it's fully charged with energy...

But looking through the history of the continent, there are still several instances of what can be described as 'endless sources of energy' in terrifying pieces of equipment."

"Now that you mention it, I think I understand what's going on..."

Anse's frown deepened, "Although many people believe that the depth of magical research within our Yibel Federation isn't comparable to those civilizations where magic originated, strength has never been determined by others' opinions.

Since Lord Kael-appear out of nowhere-his innate talent as a Mage has been a subject avidly discussed throughout the Magic World.

If it's him, perhaps he truly could catch up with the Supreme Forest, which has led for many years now in the development of 'Ether,' a 'future large-scale Magic Power source.'

Sister, perhaps, just as you say, Viscount Helois's goal from the beginning was to secure an early foothold in the high-end Magic Prohibition Stone market...

That is, if he truly has managed to develop something comparable to the most illustrious research findings in the history of the continent."

"Yes... No matter the civilization, when research technology reaches a pivotal point, there are always all sorts of problems.

Brother, you may not understand, but there has always been a conspiracy theory within Mage Academia-that there are higher-dimensional beings beyond our resistance, possible deities or other entities, quietly erasing the finest technologies from various civilizations.

Energy, materials, information... If any of these fields achieve a breakthrough beyond current limitations, it could directly propel our entire civilization, even the entire world, forward.

Yet, in the thousands of years of human development, based on the information we know, not a single civilization has managed to preserve its achievements.

More recently, the goblin empire is said to have made epic breakthroughs in materials and energy.

The Godslayer Artifact, Divine Armor, and the legendary Elemental Furnace with its infinite energy all vanished into history.

Earlier still, in the era when those long-eared beings ruled half the continent, they relied on a special structure hidden deep within the Silver Moon Forest."
