Law studied seriously, the Hybrid Theory his brother had developed was crazy to say the least, normally a person wouldn't be able to take more than one type of Lacrima in their body, but his brother did just that. Not only that, he got a working system for one to get up to eight Lacrimas in working conditions inside the same body! That was insane, normally a person would never be able to do that, but the system his brother developed managed it just as well.

The genius of such feet was never to be underestimated, but let no one say that Law wasn't just as much of a genius as his brother was when it comes to magic theories and application ways for them. Law had always been fascinated by magic in all it's forms, always staring in awe whenever he sees someone showing him a new type of magic. It had been three days since his brother let him study his Hybrid Theory and Law had already read and understood all of it, including the possible variations his brother have mentioned and how they could possibly work out.

When it was time to eat Minerva was the one who had to go out of her way to make sure he'd eat, otherwise, it was entirely possible he'd simply not eat at all as he'd lose himself in magic theories.

God Serena, meanwhile, had finished setting up the requirements for the ritual needed for the Hybrid Theory to be put to work. It was actually very simple, it was just the no one has ever managed to develop a theory like his before.

With all set and done it was time for the ritual.

The day for the ritual arrived and Law was still with his head on book after book about lost magics and modern magic theories. He wanted to investigate magic more than anything else, find out what make it 'tick' so to say.

God Serena entered Law's room with all the delicacy one could expect of him.

KICK

BOOM

The door to the room was kicked open, the door flying off the hinges and dust covering everywhere.

"My little brother, it is time! Let us go and prepare your way for a greater future!" God Serena said, a huge grin on his face. He was not surprised to see his brother with his face still on his books, he knew that Law only stopped studying what he could when he was training his body, fighting, or when he was with friends. Getting Minerva was exactly because he did not wish for him to waste away by only studying for the rest of his life.

He moved to Law and raised him by the scruff of the neck, lifting him up and the boy was still with the book in hand and reading attently, not seeing to notice anything happening around him. God Serena sweat dropped from this, his brother was truly a 'one track' mind type of guy.

Taking him to the table where the ritual was to take place it was only when he laid in the table and had the book taken out of his hands that Law seemed to snap out of his pseudo-trance. Seeing him look around in doubt about what was going on made God Serena show an amused smile on his face.

"It seems like you were enjoying yourself a bit much, little brother." God Serena said and Law only scratched the back on his head.

"Hehe, a little bit, yeah."

Seeing this God Serena smirked before scowling his features.

"Now we will begin the ritual. Can you tell me what it is we will be doing in this ritual?"

"Yes." Law said as he began speaking. "The ritual is to change the body to accomodate different types of energy without them damaging or clashing violently with one another. I will have implanted in my body as many lacrimas as it possibly can carry.

"Some of them will be carrying specific types of magic so that my body can get used to those magic types while the other lacrimas will be empty lacrimas which I can pull the energy of special lacrimas into due to this ritual, turning them into special lacrimas. The higher the number of lacrimas wich can be implanted in my body mean the more my magic energy will be siphoned for this lacrimas to accommodate them, this means that while this is happening my magic reserves will be that much smaller while the body is getting used to the lacrimas inside me. In exchange, when the process is completed and my body can take in more lacrimas and powers, my magic energy can grow exponentially." Law explained with a proud smile, to which his brother nodded.

"Exactly, you then can see the genius of my Hybrid Theory! It makes one weaker for a while, true enough, and it also takes more time depending on how many lacrimas one's body can take in this ritual, but in exchange, when you can get to be perfected your magic powers will increase by a lot." God Serena said in ecstasy at his own genius.

The truth of the matter is that what his ritual did was extremely related to what many call Second Origin. The second origin is like a second 'tank' of magic energy into one's body, normally magicians train or use secret methods to unleash this second 'tank' so as to increase their magic energy. This Hybrid Theory ritual, however, was made so as to replace one's secondary tank with Lacrimas of different attributes. It took time for one's body to accept the lacrimas, which are external items, as part of the body itself and be one with the body, and the more lacrimas the more they occupy the secondary tank which begin to take the space of the main one. However, when the body fully adapts and accepts the lacrimas, it would be like if one had a Second Origin Release multiple times in a row, raising one's magic by tremendous amounts.

God Serena himself, when he did this ritual as an experiment, only had magic energy equal to a run of the mill magician who would be considered pretty much a grunt overall, but after the ritual was fully complete in three years, he had magic energy suppressing everyone else in the continent!

Now he wanted to see what his brother would be able to do, just how high could his brother reach now that he would pass by the ritual as well, and not only that an improved ritual now that God Serena had actual previous results and the Theory had bases for improvement.

As Law laid there and the ritual started God Serena continued his work, he first had to put the main matrix of what was to be the magic routes his brother would follow. He put multiple types of lacrimas and all sorts of different attributes of them as well around his brother, magics of all sorts were put in position.

Creation Magic.

Take Over Magic

Dragon Slayer Magic.

Devil Slayer Magic.

God Slayer Magic.

Scripture Magic.

White Magic.

Domain Magic.

Alchemic Magic.

Enchantment Magic.

And more and more styles. All types he could find, he put in this ritual but only the more suitable ones, the ones that better fit with him, would be used. The other types would simply turn into pure magic energy and make his magic energy all the grander.

That was a treatment much better than what God Serena had for himself when he used the ritual. He only had access to one Dragon Slayer Lacrima back then, but his brother would have more of it. God Serena wanted to prove how suppreme he was, how he was above everyone else in the whole world, and for thus he wanted to prove that even his bloodline was above everyone else. That even his little brother was just as strong.

The process of the ritual started, and as the energies and the process moved along God Serena had only just remembered one small, tiny detail.

He may or may not have forgotten that this ritual hurt like all hell. And with an even more complex ritual, yeah it would not be pleasant.

Oh well, nothing he could do now. God Serena was sure things would work out in the end, so a little pain now shouldn't be such a great thing in the long run.
