Chapter 375 - 376: Exchanging Origin

"Why was I sent here? What am I supposed to do?"

'Am I supposed to raid this place?'

Upon learning this, Andre's eyes flew wide. He highly doubted he was the one who was supposed to be raiding the lairs of these Level 6 Creatures.

But just as Andre was wondering what was going on, a nine-colored pillar of light—one he was very familiar with—descended from the sky and poured directly into his body.

'Power of World Origin... The world consciousness?'

As soon as Andre felt the Power of World Origin, his body involuntarily began to ravenously devour it.

As he devoured the Power of World Origin, pieces of information emerged from it and flowed into his mind.

Once Andre pieced the information together into a more complete picture, he finally understood why he had been pulled into this world and brought to a wild boar's lair.

'The world consciousness of the Barbaric Universe World realized that the Chaos Magic Power Antaromen extracted from me in the past was beneficial to it. So, it wanted to contact the source of the Chaos Magic Power—in other words, me.'

'The reason it wanted to contact me was because that single drop of Chaos Magic Power was a very small amount.'

'That little bit of Chaos Magic Power wasn't nearly enough for the Barbaric Universe World to begin a new round of world ascension.'

'That's why it sealed off the world and purged the beings within it that needed to absorb large amounts of Magic Power every day.'

'Since then, even though the Barbaric Universe World was sealed, it has been steadily accumulating power with the goal of ascending into a true Level 7 World.'

After sorting through the information that had emerged from the Power of World Origin, Andre's eyes widened as far as they could go.

'A true Level 7 World? How is that possible? Just with the Chaos Magic Power I have?'

Andre had no idea what the Barbaric Universe World's consciousness was thinking. The Chaos Magic Power he possessed was nowhere near enough for the Barbaric Universe World to complete its ascension and become the first Level 7 World in the Star Realm.

At best, his Chaos Magic Power could only supplement the Barbaric Universe World a little, giving it a slightly better chance.

At the absolute, very most, stretching it to its limit, it could only help the Barbaric Universe World reach Level 6.5. It probably wouldn't even reach that high—more like Level 6.3 or Level 6.4.

This was because the Chaos Magic Power in his body was, even now, still in a nascent form.

Although he had used the M?bius Ring to represent a cycle and successfully advanced to a Level 3 Wizard, the process was incomplete.

The Chaos Magic Power within him was constantly splitting and evolving within that cycle, gradually transforming into various types of Power.

But these forms of Power were like water without a source, like rootless duckweed—they would vanish in an instant.

Back in his family, he had been frantically searching through all sorts of books precisely to find a solution to this problem.

But before he could find a solution, he was taken by Antaromen, which led to his current predicament.

"I can't do it!" Andre shouted, looking at the Power of World Origin that was continuously raining down from the sky.

Just in case the world consciousness didn't understand his words, Andre released his Chaos Magic Power, imbuing it with the message that he was unable to fulfill its request.

The moment his Chaos Magic Power appeared in the Barbaric Universe World, it surged toward the sky like a waterspout.

Soon, the Power of World Origin descending from the sky slowly dissipated. Then, the world consciousness also stopped its absorption of the Chaos Magic Power.

But just when Andre thought it was over, something unexpected happened. A moment later, an even thicker torrent of Power of World Origin, this one shimmering with ten colors of light, descended from the sky and completely submerged him.

Then, a new piece of information from the Power of World Origin entered his mind.

'Release as much as you have. It will take it all!'

After Andre processed this information, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

'What does it mean, "It will take it all"? This isn't food!'

When he thought of the word "food," Andre suddenly understood why the Barbaric Universe World's consciousness had chosen a wild boar as its Child of the World.

After all, don't wild boars eat anything and everything, refusing nothing?

'So basically, it's in its very nature!'

Andre pursed his lips but had no choice but to release as much of the Chaos Magic Power in his body as he could.

As the Chaos Magic Power was released from his body, it behaved exactly as the message had indicated.

The world consciousness accepted all the Chaos Magic Power without reservation.

Even if the Chaos Magic Power couldn't help it successfully ascend to a Level 7 World.

As long as the Chaos Magic Power was beneficial to the world, it would take it.

'Well, a little progress is still progress, I guess!'

Andre watched the Power of World Origin land on him.

At this moment, as a large amount of Power of World Origin poured into his body, the M?bius Ring began to show signs of splitting.

Before long, the M?bius Ring split apart, then recombined. It then split and recombined again, finally forming a larger ring composed of multiple M?bius rings.

Once this step was complete, the Chaos Magic Power within Andre began to differentiate more clearly and distinctly, and the variety of Powers it produced grew ever larger.

As this change occurred, even more Power of World Origin descended upon Andre. Simultaneously, vast quantities of Chaos Magic Power were expelled from his body for the world consciousness to absorb.

'Wait a minute... so it's just using me as a power adapter?'

Watching the conversion process happening within his own body, Andre couldn't help but raise a hand to scratch his head.

The Power of World Origin was entering his body, passing through the ring formed by the M?bius rings, and emerging as Chaos Magic Power.

This Chaos Magic Power would then leave his body and return to the World Origin Space.

The process reminded Andre of something he had to buy when traveling to certain countries in his past life: a power adapter.

Without a power adapter, none of his electronics would have been able to use the local electricity in those countries.

Now, the process the Power of World Origin was undergoing inside his body was remarkably similar to how a power adapter worked.

Andre sighed, helplessly enduring it all.

As a massive amount of Power of World Origin rained down, he was unable to move under its sheer force, forced to passively endure the process.

Although this affair was also beneficial to him, the process itself was not what Andre wanted.

'Sigh, what kind of mess is this?'

Andre truly didn't understand the world consciousness's behavior.

According to the books he had read, a world consciousness was supposed to be akin to a human's subconscious. Yet, after encountering the Chaos Magic Power within him, this one had become like a living, sentient being, constantly demanding more.

'But why?'
