Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Stealing Session Again. Part-1.
Bastille, City Outskirts.

A day ago.

Jareth flew in the air like an arrow and headed in the southeast direction of the city.

‘Hmm, I don’t know the actual location of that place, and I can’t even track that ‘thing’ with my mana detection… but I guess I can track ‘them’ down instead…’

What Jareth is looking for today is one of the few most important ‘Chances’ that the protagonist got in his journey to the peak of this world.

‘With ‘that’ thing, the ‘mana nuke’ making program can progress much faster… Moreover, the power of the nuke can be enhanced further with it…’

‘And forget about just a mere ‘mana nuke’ with that thing in my hand; I can aim to create more sophisticated things like a wormhole or a portal to a different location….’

‘Even if I can’t save the world, I can at least try to save myself… and that’s all I need…’

Jareth doesn’t care if this world has any hope or not; he only needs hope for himself, and he will create that hope with his own hands if there isn’t any.

‘I read through that secret book that told about the ‘Golden Lights’ words again and again…’

‘And one obvious clue to escape the current situation is to find something called the power of origin, and to do that, you need to reach the demi-god realm…’

‘Although I don’t know what all that means, if there is anything in this world that can be considered a real ‘Divine’ object, then it must be the ‘Chance’ buried here in the desert…’

Out of all the opportunities and chances that Allen had on his journey, this one carries a small trace of the evolved form of mana.

The power to turn miracles into reality. The power to influence the strings of destiny.

A power that can turn the fate of the world around and conquer all that exists and doesn’t.

That power is called ‘Divinity’ or ‘Divine Power’.

‘Although it’s just a trace amount of it, it’s enough… The bigger problem will be how to extract that thing…’

Thinking about this, Jareth’s expression became solemn.

The game did not explain the origin of this strange power known as “Divinity” or how to create or destroy it.

But now that Jareth has read through the secret records and the words of the golden light, he is certain about one thing.

‘In the game, it’s explained that the central lake in Bastille shines blue due to the presence of a unique object below it.’

‘Without proper clues, everything seems so random and difficult to understand… But when you have all the pieces in your hands… the puzzle becomes very simple to solve…’

With all the clues from the game lore and the words from the secret book, Jareth figured out a lot of things.

‘First of all, I can assume that the ‘Meteorite’ or whatever that ‘Shard of Moonlight’ that fell in this place likely fell around the same time when the ‘Golden King’ descended to this world…’

‘Which means that this ‘meteorite’ is related to a power existence like that ‘Golden King’…’

‘Moreover, this thing has a trace of ‘Divinity’ in it. From that, I can assume that this ‘meteorite’ is likely not just a rock or something inanimate… It likely used to be a living being…’

‘And Lastly, if I can harness it’s power, I can make something that can be so powerful that it can smash the fabric of space-time itself while keeping it stable enough at the same time…’

A smirk appeared on Jareth’s face while he was thinking about this.

‘And that is enough for me to escape…’

Although Jareth himself has shattered the space-time fabric twice, once while fighting Zero and once while destroying the Demon God’s incarnation,.

Both of those times, the gaps he created in the space-time fabric were just unstable factors.

They couldn’t be considered proper ‘wormholes’ as they had no proper end location; they were just empty gaps created in the void and filled with nothingness.

What Jareth wants is a fully-functional ‘Wormhole’ that can literally send him out of this ‘Sea of Miasma’.

Humans in this world are slowly progressing and might achieve this wormhole technology eventually.

But Jareth knows that there’s not enough time.

The seals of the ‘False Dome’ are uncertain factors; they have already started to show signs of corruption, as told by Sylvie.

Moreover, Jareth doesn’t have the long life span of a dragon or an elf.

Even a Grade-1 Human Mage can’t live for a thousand years, which means that even if Jareth becomes a Grade-1, he doesn’t have enough time to wait for the human race to progress to the point that they can create ‘Wormholes’.

Unless he himself takes things in his own hands, things won’t change for him.

Jareth knows that he can’t rely on the slow progress speed of the human race for this matter; thus, he can only try and look for shortcuts himself.

‘First of all, you need massive amounts of energy to sustain a working wormhole that can connect two faraway places in the space-time fabric…’

‘And this trace of divinity can become a great source of power… Even the smallest trace of it is enough to sustain a ‘Wormhole’ for a short time at least…’

‘I cannot afford to lose this ‘chance’ as it is my key to success…’

Originally, Jareth was planning to fight with the siege of Miasma when time came with the help of Mark and the others.

But now he has a much better plan.

After he found the research documents of the original Jareth, he figured out a new way to counter this calamity.

Even though the original Jareth was just a weak guy, he certainly had an extraordinary brain.

The only reason such an excellent man failed to achieve his ambitions was because he wasn’t blessed with luck like Allen.

If he had been born into a better family or had been given a good environment for research, he would have been one of the most famous scientists of this era.

The human race would have progressed a lot with the help of his discoveries and research.

Alas, ‘Genuis’ and ‘Talented’ are always shunned by the ‘Heavenly Luck’; it’s as if the heavens themselves hate the existence of a ‘Genius’.

On the other hand, people like Allen who have no real ambitions or talents are strangely more loved by the ‘Heavenly luck’.

It’s almost as if the strings of destiny themselves don’t want a real ‘Genius’ to achieve their full potential and always try to promote a person who clearly is the worst option to reach the peak of the world.

‘I have a premonition… that even the strings of destiny and the so-called ‘Law’ of ‘Luck’ is ‘Corrupted’ in this world.’

‘No… Not just this one ‘Law’, I have a premonition that there’s not a single ‘Law’ in this world that hasn’t been corrupted…’

‘The influence of ‘miasma’ and ‘corruption’ runs extremely deep in this world…’

Thinking this far, Jareth couldn’t help but frown a bit.

‘And if this speculation is true, then it means that even if I escape this sea of miasma… there is no safe place outside either…’

‘Well, even if there aren’t any safe places, it would be better than this place at least… The only thing I want is for my soul to stay unaffected after my death…’

The power of the ‘Laws’ is just too far away. Jareth can already guess that you can barely even control the power of ‘Laws’ with the help of ‘Divinity’; anything that’s weaker than that can’t even do that much.

Even Jareth’s ‘Mana Singularity’ can only influence the smallest trace of the ‘Law’ of ‘Mana’.

If even a legendary skill is only capable of this much, then you can understand the vast power a ‘Law’ of the world holds deep in itself.

‘First step is to have a legendary skill, and the next step is likely to have ‘Divinity’… These are likely the basic steps to even having the qualifications to control a ‘Law’ of the world…’

‘But I think there is something more that you need… something that’s even more important than these two things…’

Thinking this far, Jareth sighed and calmed himself down.

‘Forget it… Let’s take things step by step. The first goal I have to achieve right now is to find that ‘Trace of Divinity’… then I will go and strengthen the seals of the ‘Fasle Dome’…’

‘Which should buy me more time, and lastly, I need to work fast and try to make the ‘Wormhole’ that can help me escape…’

‘I have nothing to do with the people of this planet, and I don’t have anything to do with the ‘Laws’ of this world… I just need to save myself, and that’s all there is to it…’

‘No need to think about anything that’s irrelevant to my plan… Everything else is just a distraction and hinderance for my goals…’

‘It’s better to keep myself focused…’

Jareth shook his head and focused on his mana detection more afterwards.
