SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE-Chapter 117 World Cultivation of Aura and Magic

Edgar raised his right hand, a white magic circle formed on his right palm, and a computer chip appeared above the circle.

He bought the AI chip with strong computational power on the underground market.

The chip is floating above the magic circle.

Small white threads appear and rotate on the chip. Tiny magic runes are appearing on the chip. It continued for a period of time.

Woosh! The threads dispersed, and a chip with shining white magic runes appeared.

Edgar walks to the big chamber in the center, then controls the chip to fly.

The chip floats above the center of the chamber, then slowly falls.

Click! The chip is fitted at the center.

A magic circle appears above the chamber, then slowly moves down. The upper part and glass of the chamber appear as the circle moves down. The whole chamber is now assembled.

Eight small lightning bolts spread beneath Edgar's feet and move to the purple chambers that are not lit up.

ZOOOM! The eight purple chambers lit up and gave power to the big chamber.

The magic runes on the computer components lit up. White, shimmering lights float within the chamber. The whole big chamber turned into white light.

"Welcome to the world, Polaris. Let us shake the world together," said Edgar as he looks at the white chamber.

It is morning in the eastern part of the world, and no one is expecting a shocking change that will shake the world.

In Batangas City, there is an inconspicuous gym. Inside the ring, Mike and his friend, Tim, are currently sparring. They are wearing gloves. Mike is not wearing headgear, but Tim does. They are wearing sleeveless shirts, jogging pants, and sports shoes.

Tim is rapidly punching with jabs and straight punches, but Mike is swiftly avoiding them. He stepped his left foot forward and delivered a powerful straight punch. Mike swiftly stepped to the side and moved behind Tim with footwork. Tim rotates his body to his back.

Boom! Mike punched Tim with a jab, and Tim was hit in the cheek.

Tim punched with a hook. Mike ducks, moves forward, and then punches Tim in the abdomen with his left fist.

"Acck!" Tim almost spit out the mouthpiece. Mike followed up with an uppercut but stopped when it nearly touch the chin.

They stopped their sparring. Tim took off his headgear and laughed.

"Boss! Your skill in boxing hasn't rusted." He is one of the gang members that Edgar saved. Although he is Mike's friend, they are already used to calling him boss.

Mike just smiles.

Bang! The sliding door suddenly opened, and its sound is loud because of the powerful swing. The youngest of their gang is frantically running.

Mike thought there is bad news.

"Boss! There is a shocking video spreading on the internet! Take a look quickly!" shouted the young man, then he showed a video from his phone.

The video starts playing.

"Hello world, I'm Sypher, and what I am about to teach you is aura. What is aura? It is life energy in the air..."

"Aura has four levels..."

"The aura technique that I am about to teach you is called Stream Fist Art. It is suitable for most ages. It should not be trained by children under eight years old. Here are the sets of movement and breathing..."

The three of them are very shocked. Although the youngest had already watched it, he still hadn't recovered from shock, so Mike reacted.

"COPY IT QUICKLY! It might get deleted soon!" Shouted Mike. The other two reacted and quickly made a copy.

"Getting ability does not need to spontaneously happen! Shit! The whole world has been fooled for a long time!" said Mike with anger. The other two also have ugly faces.

"Call the others after copying it! We must make sure to hide a spare in a secure place. To be able to hide it for a long time from the public, there should be a very powerful force that maintains the net. Everyone that had downloaded the video might have been tracked. Quickly ask for an IT expert and remove the traces. Also, copy it on paper. One of us must bring it away just to make sure," said Mike. Their faces are serious, but they feel excited.

In Cebu City, within a small apartment, a loud shout suddenly startled the father and daughter in the living room, who were discussing something. Their faces changed, and they went into a room.

"What happened?!" asked the father.

His youngest daughter quickly showed the video on her phone.

"To cultivate magic requires a meditation technique. The meditation technique that I am about to teach you is called Aurora. Here is how you establish a mana core and your first circle..."

"If you want to know your elemental affinity, meditate and see the elements in the air and try to control them. The easiest element you can control means that is your best affinity. Now, let's move on to forming magic runes in the sea of consciousness..."

"Here are the basic runes for basic magic skills in all elements..."

"To form those magic runes, you need to understand magic runes. There is a link below the video description. The link contains files on how you can understand magic runes..."

"Quick! Quick! Copy it!" Shouted the father.They are the family that Edgar saved from the hands of the fat man.

In a plaza in Metro Manila, a female teen with an earpiece is watching a video on a website when she notices a video with rapidly rising views. She clicked on it, and not long after, she screamed.

"Kyaaa!" screamed the girl.

"What is it?! What is it?" her female friends asked.

"Quick! Open the video website and download the video! This will change our lives forever!" Shouted the teen. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

They watch the video on the website, then they all gasp. They immediately call their family members.

"Mom, quickly download a video..," one of them shouts.

"Where are mom and dad?! Why can't I reach them?! Fine, listen, download a video—tut tut, hello? Hello? Dumb kid!" One of the teens shouted.

Some of the crowd are curious, so they asked them, and then the scene repeated itself.

It is happening all over the world. In a mall, computer cafe, restaurant, business office, or house, the spread of the video is too fast.

Inside the building of Saber's Guild Headquarters, a manager named Henry is happily calling with his phone.

"Hahahaha, alright, alright, tonight I will go to the villa and wear the gift that I sent you. I want to see you in that outfit." His laugh is interrupted by frantic knocks on the door.

Henry frowns. He ends the call and lets the secretary come in.

"Sir, there is an emergency. A video about aura and magic cultivation is spreading on the internet. It already has half a billion views on top websites and 30 million views on video websites in our country," the secretary quickly said.

"W-what?!! How is that possible?!! Those world-top companies assure that their AI monitors the internet to prevent that kind of thing! Is there any stone vow or contract of promise that got destroyed?" Henry's face is sweating. The guild leader and vice leader are not in the headquarters. They can't be contacted. He is in charge of temporary command.

"No stone vow or contract is destroyed, sir. We don't know yet how Sypher was able to bypass the AI," answered the secretary.

"S-shit," blurted Henry. His mind is cloudy. He doesn't know what to do.

TNNNG! An invitation for a video conference appears on his touch-screen table.

Henry feels relieved and thinks,"That man should be able to come up with a solution."

The bosses of big companies, guilds, and even governments are in panic.

In the headquarters of PHA, Owen is discussing the issue with Viel. Viel called for an emergency meeting to discuss the issue. The others are on their way.

"Sir, this will be a big problem. It seems that Sypher is an expert in computer. The video spread quickly. If the whole world knows magic and aura cultivation, the resources will not be able to keep up. We won't be able to train high-level hyperbeings. Even with the resources of tier 3 broken worlds around the world, we still experienced shortages sometimes.

If too many people suddenly become hyperbeings, we won't have enough people to carry out law enforcement and supervision. If we were to pull out the hyperbeings that guard the restricted area, the defense that we set up would have many holes. We have tacit agreements with families, big companies and guilds to strictly prevent the spread of knowledge because of those reasons. Every hyperbeing that got registered in the world has a stone vow or signed a contract of promise. No stone vow or contract is destroyed in our country. So no one leaked the knowledge on our side," said Owen.

Viel is silent.

Knock! Knock! There is a rushed knock on the door. A female officer rushes in.

"Sir, I sent a file to your account. There is encrypted information that was sent to our email by Sypher."

Viel touches his touch-screen table and opens his account. He is shocked when he saw the names of the folders.
