Chapter 528: Chapter 259: Advancement to Stage 3_2

It seems I need to adapt for a while first.

The enhancement between Spirals doesn’t bring about significant physical changes and is easy to adapt to.

However, the changes brought by advancing between major stages are quite substantial, requiring some time to adapt to the new power.

The Spiral within him was slowly rotating.

Feeling this rotation, Alka frowned. As it turned, the surrounding Magic Power was automatically absorbed into his body, with a portion used to enhance his strength.

The rotation did indeed generate much more Magic Power than before.

But the problem is... the amount of Magic Power that can be absorbed into my body has decreased.

Although this was an increase compared to before, it was far too little considering his current total strength.

Feeling this change, Alka immediately sat up, closed his eyes, and began Meditating.

As the Meditation Rune appeared within him and stabilized the channels for his Magic Power, the surrounding Magic Power began to slowly enter his body.

After a short while, Alka stopped Meditating and opened his eyes.

My ability to absorb Magic Power has slowed down... and the amount that can merge into my body has also decreased.

This discovery made Alka ponder.

If this change isn’t unique to me, but a normal occurrence, it means that power enhancement at the Third Stage will no longer be as rapid as before. This must be the bottleneck Balazs mentioned.

The rapid enhancement of power at the Second Stage and before kept the Magic Power in a constantly agitated state.

It was for this reason that Balazs had noticed something unusual about Alka and the others.

At that time, rather than spending time calming the agitated Magic Power, it was evidently more beneficial for strength enhancement to focus on Meditation.

Therefore, unless there was a specific issue, most people would opt for rapid Meditation until they reached Perfection in the Second Stage, continuing until this advantage disappeared.

Afterward, they would spend time stabilizing their strength, which had slowed and become difficult to enhance.

Stabilize it, and then break through.

But now, at the Third Stage, such rapid enhancement was completely nonexistent.

To achieve even a slight increase in strength, one had to stabilize their Magic Power anew. Or rather, one could *only* stabilize their Magic Power, as there was nothing else to do.

This change also allowed Alka to understand a few other things.

People with Treasures would also involve their Treasures in absorbing and converting Magic Power during Meditation.

This was also why those with Treasures improved far faster than those without.

If the strength improvement and Magic Power absorption speed from one’s own Meditation were considered a baseline of 1.

Due to differences in physique and talent, this baseline of 1 would certainly fluctuate, but not excessively.

A Holy Grail-Level Treasure would add an additional 1 to this baseline, with the exact amount varying depending on the Treasure’s Level.

For example, Alka’s Mirror Surface added only 0.9, while his Dream Catcher added 1.2.

This was the difference brought about by a Treasure’s Level.

Among all the Treasures they possessed, Jason’s, which had changed due to the birth of the Crystal Dragon, provided the highest bonus.

The Crystal Dragon’s appearance had given Jason an extra 1.5. However, the Crystal Dragon was clearly not a ”Treasure” that could be judged by common standards.

She was a true ancient being, equivalent to a Treasure even in her youth.

For normal Treasures, the highest bonus came from Pororo’s Winter Flower, at 1.3.

The lowest was Lucilia’s flag, providing 0.9, which was slightly less than Alka’s 0.9.

Based on these calculations, the bonus from Holy Grail-Level Treasures should range between 0.8 and 1.3.

He recalled the description on the Winter Flower’s information when he acquired it.

The most powerful batch of Holy Grail-Level Treasures.

Their ability to calculate these figures so precisely wasn’t due to their own power, but entirely because they had acquired the legacy of Vastva City.

Those blue dots had brought incredible items and knowledge.

These blue Treasures weren’t necessarily for combat; they were fascinating in their respective fields.

A ring-shaped device appeared in Alka’s hand. It was double-layered, with a thin, light blue line of Magic Power visible in the gap between the layers.

He infused Magic Power to control it and then entered Meditation again.

The device began to observe and record data from his side.

Alka stopped after just one minute of Meditation.

He began to collect the data from the Soul Detection Ring.

This was one of the blue Treasures they had obtained from Vastva, capable of helping them collect precise physiological data.

It could almost be called a universal human body detection device.

It was a new, well-preserved experimental device. Having been kept in a special preservation box, it had survived in the Superimposed Space for tens of thousands of years without damage.

Alka, Simon, and Matilda were its primary users, as only the three of them had such a need for it, and it worked incredibly well.

Upon reviewing the data feedback, he murmured, ”Only 0.2? It dropped so much.” This feedback surprised him.

His individual strength enhancement, which used to be a baseline of 1, had plummeted to just 0.2.

It seemed the Third Stage made it significantly harder to integrate Magic Power into the body, as if a bottleneck was actively obstructing the process.

However, the feedback also indicated that the qualitative changes brought about by Magic Power hadn’t diminished; they remained consistent with previous levels.

He picked up a notebook, recorded his findings, and after some consideration, jotted down his speculations in the back.
