Continuing to examine the cracks in the sky, Xia Duo found that the shapes of the cracks were also different depending on the angle of observation. Sometimes they looked like long and thin ribbons, and sometimes they were closer to a circle.
As long as the angle of observation is different, no matter how many times he tries, Xia Duo will find exactly the same crack shape once. But as long as the angle is determined, the shape will be the same no matter how far or near it is.
Such a discovery made Xia Duo extremely interested in this crack, and at the same time he became more convinced that it might really be related to the ethereal layer.
If a way to enter the etheric layer from the material plane can be found by studying this crack, it may be possible to start the etheric layer version of the Great Navigation.
Currently, the prerequisite is to develop a method that allows the caster to move in the etheric layer.
Now Xia Duo can only project his detection to the etheric plane, but cannot actually enter it. In fact, the environment of the etheric plane is completely different from the material plane. There are only the concepts of time, space and elements, and nothing else.
Xia Duo seriously doubted that if a normal human without special protection simply entered the etheric layer, he would most likely die without even being able to save his soul.
Because the essence of the etheric layer is also part of the inner plane, which is the material basis, and the essence of the soul should belong to the outer plane, whether it can mix with the inner plane is a big question.
Anyway, if you die, your soul will definitely not be able to return to heaven or the kingdom of God.
Perhaps the better outcome in the end is that Sha Duo was once called upon to "embrace the will of the elements" and become an elemental life.
…
At present, although Xia Duo cannot directly erase this crack, he can achieve the effect of indirect erasure by repairing the plane itself.
If he can do it, the Seven Towers must not be much different, or is this an important sample deliberately retained by the Seven Towers for ether research?
Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo really felt that this was possible.
After all, he was not sure whether the "Experimental Plane No. 9" introduced by Brundes was the same as the real Experimental Plane No. 9.
Combined with the opponent's previous practice of directly giving plane coordinates, there is probably a problem with this plane, but this problem is not a bad aspect, but the Seven Towers trying to give him benefits.
Perhaps it was for Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony, or maybe it was just to win over him, but in any case, Shado was not prepared to refuse.
He even wanted to push the envelope even further.
After the actual testing of war spells, if this plane crack can still be preserved, he plans to buy this "abandoned" plane from the Seven Towers for subsequent research.
…
After finishing the preliminary inspection of the red plane, Xia Duo temporarily closed the portal. He planned to wait until all the preparations for the actual test were completed before checking again to ensure that the test would not be affected by any unexpected events.
Next, Shado asked Niya to help make the red plane version adapter of Mythra's device, while he himself found a way to transfer Mythra in Yin Olem's dimensional bag to the portable space.
As for war spells, Yin Olem has already prepared a war weapon based on this for him. If it passes the actual test, it can be directly installed on the floating city and used.
Research and stuff can be done slowly in the future. The main thing now is actual testing. There should be no problem with feasibility. Although there is no actual testing on Yin Olem's side, there must be a lot of relevant testing, at least it will be done only after it is confirmed to be feasible.
This time, Xia Duo mainly tested the power, scope of action, usage distance, and various limits of war spells, such as activation intervals and times.
Yin Orem provides a total of three war spells, one is wide-area detection or battlefield control, the other is wide-area ban, and the last one is the light of annihilation.
Corresponding to the three aspects of obtaining information, restricting maneuvers, and direct killing, they are the most direct areas involved in war.
In essence, war spells do not exceed conventional spells. They simply have a larger range of action, longer duration, and most importantly, greater power.
Among them, wide-area detection and wide-area restriction are both derived from the conventional spells that Sha Duo was familiar with in the past - detection and restriction.
The inspiration for "The Light of Annihilation" comes from the elven war weapon brought back by Sha Duo from the projection plane, which Yin Orem also stated clearly in his research notes.
Elves are very talented in war and killing, and a mature war spell as a strategic weapon has a high probability of being directly related to the direction of the war.
It is only right to learn from good ones.
As for the war magic weapon, this is not a complete reference to the elves, but an inevitable choice. The composition of war spells is complex and difficult for one spell caster to fully control. It needs to be jointly controlled by multiple spell casters.
Or to put it another way, on Earth, there is not just one radar soldier per unit in the army, but there are many, and there are different types of radars!
The same is true for wide-area detection, which can detect moving targets, spellcasting targets, magic items, and even special detection for certain keywords or certain situations.
The direction of the war is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for one person to survive.
As for the wide-area ban, it cannot help but involve restrictions on teleportation and the division of space on the battlefield. Of course, if you want to use this function, you need to prepare a space in advance that is at least larger than the plane or demi-plane of the battlefield.
.
This also requires human judgment. Of course, one person can do it, but it is obviously not as efficient as the cooperation of multiple people.
As for the light of annihilation, as the name suggests, it can directly annihilate matter. This name was chosen by Sha Duo himself, and none of the three spells were named by Yin Orem.
Of course, the name "Light of Annihilation" does not completely correspond to its essence, but Xia Duo feels that calling it "Annihilation" may sound more powerful. In fact, calling it "Disintegration" or "Dissociation" may be more appropriate.
However, its principle is actually different from that of dissociation. Dissociation is a change spell, and Light of Annihilation is essentially an extreme entropy-increasing spell involving negative energy.
It is generally difficult for dissociation techniques to dissociate substances with strong physical properties, such as gold and fine gold, but these are nothing in the face of the increase in entropy.
Even gold and fine gold can be annihilated, and ordinary creatures are even less worth mentioning in front of it. This powerful and large-scale spell naturally requires extremely fine control, otherwise it can easily lead to tragedy.
There is a situation where more people are killed than the enemy.
In this regard, Yin Orem's advice is to use it in conjunction with the wide-area ban, first divide the space, and then spread the light of annihilation in each independent space with only enemies.
Or it can directly destroy the enemy from a super long distance, but this is more suitable for clearing the field, because the range of the wide-area ban is limited, and the effective radius is only about 100 miles at most.
Without the cooperation of "Wide Area Restriction", the caster can easily detect the precursor of the light of annihilation and then escape.
As for the range of "Light of Annihilation", if the caster's countermeasures are not considered, the range of action is directly linked to "Wide Area Detection", that is to say, if you can see it, you can hit it.
