Chapter 3425 The possibility of preserving the power of time, the key to the decisive battle
In addition to the earth elemental lords, Talaf also found ten earth elemental elders with the help of Calimshan Grand Vizier, and this is not the final number. Calimshan is still looking for them.
As long as there is still need here in the North, the search work there will not stop, but the subsequent earth element elders cannot be sent over with the earth element lord.
Sha Duo was overjoyed when he received such news, but the earth element lord was still in the south, and it would take some time for him to arrive in Elan. Even if he trained the other earth element elders, it would not take much time.
But this is also the last window period for him to research the Time Stone.
After realizing this, Xia Duo silently speeded up.
…
At the Yongle City Ceremony Site No. 1, outside the time acceleration magic circle, Xia Duo once again confirmed that all the links were correct, and then activated the magic circle without hesitation, while silently counting in his heart.
When the count reached 5, the magic circle suddenly stopped running. Xia Duo immediately rushed to the monitoring equipment to check the records just recorded. What he focused on was actually the direct image recording.
As for the monitoring of other parameters, based on the experience of previous experiments, he could probably guess that there would be nothing abnormal.
In fact, as he expected, there were no obvious abnormalities in the monitoring data of the other parameters. Going long was the disturbance caused by the magic network environment in the time acceleration area.
The image record that he had high hopes for clearly recorded the entire process from the start to the stop of acceleration in the time acceleration area.
This includes the process of the time stone dissipating mysterious starlight outward after the time acceleration is activated.
"There is a real change!"
Before the experiment, Shado wasn't actually sure whether the time gem would be affected by the time acceleration array. He only speculated that it might have an impact based on the fact that time-related magic can affect it.
But it may not have any impact. After all, the concepts involved in the two time spells are not consistent, and it can even be said that there is no direct connection.
It turned out that it really had an impact, and it was a more obvious impact than time-related magic.
In previous experiments, Xia Duo could only interfere to a certain extent with the movement of the mysterious starlight in the time gem with the help of time-related spells, but the gem was still the same gem. Once the effect of the time-related spell ended, what was inside the gem would still change to its original state.
state.
But things are different now.
The mysterious starlight that the Time Gem dissipated in the time acceleration array did not recover after the acceleration array stopped. Specifically, the starlight inside the gem was sparser than before, which was enough to be distinguished by the naked eye.
Using the analogy of water in a cup, the previous time-related spells just made the water in the cup slosh, but the time acceleration array can directly draw the water out of the cup.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that the mysterious starlight in the time stone is directly extracted by the time acceleration array, because the array cannot preserve that mysterious starlight.
Therefore, those starlights are more like dissipated by themselves, but the time acceleration array provides external conditions for them to dissipate on their own.
But combined with the previous experiments, this situation seems to have entered a new stage——
First of all, it can be known from previous experiments that the mysterious starlight in the time stone is likely to be a materialized power of time, and this materialized power of time can be directly interfered by time-related spells.
Interference, on the other hand, is actually from another angle, isn’t it just restriction and control?
So is it possible to first use the time acceleration array to let the power of time in the time gems escape, and then use some kind of time-related spell to restrain, control or preserve it?
In theory it should be possible!
For Shado, knowing this is enough. Now Elan is about to launch a more efficient and faster search operation, but the best result there is just to find the core ritual location of the Illuminati.
Shado was not completely sure whether he could effectively stop the Illuminati's rituals.
What is "effective prevention"? He had previously predicted the future of Northland, which included the possibility of the Illuminati's failure, but in those future pictures, there was a lot of fog of time and space in Northland.
In this case, even if the Illuminati is eliminated, the damage to the Northland itself has already been done, and it will be difficult to repair. At least Shado still doesn't know how to restore the fog of time and space area to normal.
So, although this kind of obstruction makes it impossible to achieve the Illuminati's end goal, the Northland does not end well, so it cannot be considered an "effective obstruction."
In this way, the concept of effective prevention is very clear, which is to relieve the Illuminati crisis without causing serious damage to the Northland.
Of course, this is the best result for Beidi, and it is also the result that Xia Duo wants to achieve.
In order to achieve such a result, it is not enough to just find the core ritual location of the Illuminati. This is the minimum goal guaranteed this year, that is, the conspiracy of the Illuminati can be disintegrated, but there is no guarantee of what kind of sequelae it will cause.
If you want to do the best, of course you still need to be able to counter the Illuminati's rituals themselves, or to be more specific, you need to have a more direct fight with the Illuminati on the timeline.
The current timeline battlefield is almost completely controlled by the Illuminati. The only advantage the alliance has is that it can secure victory with the help of the divine messenger.
But in those local battlefields that failed, the alliance was powerless, and no one knew how many wins the Illuminati could accumulate to secure the final victory.
As long as it cannot change those failed battlefields, the alliance will at best be delaying time until it finds the core ritual location of the Illuminati, and then achieves the minimum goal of dismantling the Illuminati conspiracy.
If you want to achieve complete victory - that is, to eliminate the Illuminati without causing serious losses to the North, you must be able to change those battlefields that failed.
To put it simply, it is to obtain the ability to reshape the timeline similar to that of the Illuminati. Only in this way can we achieve complete victory instead of a tragic victory.
In fact, if the speed of finding the core ritual location of the Illuminati is slower, we may not even be able to achieve a tragic victory.
Whether it is for the purpose of ensuring victory or reducing losses, Shado cannot give up the time gem line. He needs to advance simultaneously with Elan.
In this way, even if Elam's side is a little slower, as long as the Time Stone side has gained something, it may even be possible to reverse it after the Illuminati completes the ritual.
As long as there is a way to reshape the timeline, the Illuminati can do the first grade of junior high school, and Shado can certainly do the fifteenth grade.
Compared with the Illuminati, the alliance's envoy who can anchor the past has become the most critical weight in the balance between both parties. Under normal circumstances, the Illuminati can never defeat the alliance.
