Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1380 Defeat
At the microscopic level, existing detection technologies mainly rely on the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter.

For example, an X-ray machine forms an image by emitting X-rays, which penetrate matter and produce different degrees of absorption and scattering in tissues of different densities.

However, X-rays cannot effectively interact with higher-dimensional microscopic particles such as psychic energy, and therefore cannot detect its existence.

In the world of science, observation is the starting point of all research.

If it cannot be observed, it means that its characteristics cannot be understood; if its characteristics cannot be understood, it is difficult to exert influence; and if it cannot exert influence, control is out of the question.

This is precisely the dilemma that science is currently finding difficult to break through.

As a rigorous methodology, science always adheres to the spirit of empiricism and logical reasoning, and through countless experiments and meticulous observations, it reveals the laws of nature.

But when faced with something like psychic power that transcends conventional cognition and exists like a dream, the existing scientific methodology reveals obvious limitations.

Although the road of scientific development is long and full of hope, the knowledge and technology currently mastered by mankind are just the tip of the iceberg in front of the mysterious field of psychic power, and seem so small and powerless.

On the other side, Erina Nakiri looked at the giant dragon pet she had carefully sculpted, but saw that its claws were easily cut off by Alice Nakiri, and she couldn't help feeling panic in her heart.

As the heroine of a food anime, her life previously focused on her cooking skills and she had almost no experience in combat.

She created a giant dragon spirit pet simply because she believed that dragons were extremely powerful and could gain an advantage in battle.

However, she now realized that from the perspective of psychic energy density alone, her huge dragon was far inferior to the spiritual blade that Alice Nakiri had carefully strengthened with her psychic energy.

The dragon roared in pain, and spiritual energy gushed out of the wound like a spring.

Psionics, as a mysterious and powerful supernatural force, is essentially similar to a high-dimensional form of energy.

At the microscopic level, psychic particles have unique quantum properties. They are entangled and superimposed with each other, forming a complex and stable energy structure.

The dragon's psychic structure was destroyed the moment its claws were cut off, and psychic particles began to dissipate disorderly, just like a sophisticated building whose overall structure began to collapse after a key part was damaged.

Erina Nakiri took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She concentrated, establishing a deeper connection with the dragon through psionic perception.

In the world of psychic energy, perception is like an invisible tentacle that can touch the flow and changes of psychic energy.

She tried to use her own psychic power to guide the remaining psychic energy in the dragon's body and rebuild a stable energy structure.

She controlled the dragon, and the huge dragon tail swept out, bringing up a strong airflow, whistling towards Alice Nakiri.

In the space swept by the dragon's tail, the air was compressed and formed transparent ripples. When an object moves at high speed, it will cause strong disturbance to the surrounding air.

A sneer appeared on Alice Nakiri's lips, and her figure flashed as nimbly as a ghost.

Her body made complex movements in an instant, thanks to her exquisite control of psychic energy.

She injected psychic energy into her leg muscles, enhancing their explosive power and reaction speed, allowing her to easily avoid the dragon's tail attacks.

At the same time, the spiritual blade in her hand drew a gorgeous arc and went straight to the dragon's belly.

The spiritual blade is formed by highly concentrated spiritual energy, and its edge flickers with a faint blue light, which is the visual effect produced by the high-speed movement of spiritual energy particles.

The cutting power of the spiritual blade comes from the interaction and energy release between spiritual energy particles.

When the spiritual blade comes into contact with matter, the spiritual energy particles will quickly penetrate into the microscopic structure of the matter, destroying its chemical bonds and intermolecular forces, thus achieving the effect of cutting. Seeing this, Erina Nakiri hurriedly mobilized more spiritual energy and injected it into the dragon's body.

The scales on the dragon's body shone brightly, as if it was covered with an indestructible armor.

This light is actually photons released when psychic particles undergo energy level transitions on the surface of the scales.

At the microscopic level, psychic particles absorb energy from the outside world, jump from low energy levels to high energy levels, and then quickly return to low energy levels, releasing photons of a specific frequency, forming the light we see.

The dragon opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of blazing psychic flame. The fire was so fierce that the air was distorted wherever it went.

The temperature of this psychic flame is extremely high, and its principle is similar to the energy release in a nuclear fusion reaction.

Psychic particles fuse under high temperature and high pressure, releasing huge amounts of energy in the form of flames.

The air around the flame is heated to extremely high temperatures and its density changes, causing the light to refract as it propagates, creating a visual effect of distorted air.

Airi Nakiri was not afraid at all. She concentrated her spiritual energy under her feet and jumped high.

In the process of leaping, she used the reaction force generated by her psychic energy to overcome the gravity of the earth.

According to Newton's third law, the action force and reaction force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

When she exerts her psionic energy downward, the ground gives her an upward reaction force, allowing her to leap high.

While dodging the flames, she swooped down at the dragon from the air, with her spirit blade pointing directly at the dragon's head.

Erina Nakiri frowned and increased her psychic energy output again.

The dragon roared, and the light on its body became even hotter.

Alice Nakiri concentrated all of her remaining spiritual energy into the spiritual blade, and the blade's light instantly became extremely dazzling, like a supernova about to explode.

She rushed towards the dragon at an extremely fast speed, and stabbed the dragon's head with her spiritual blade.

The dragon tried to dodge, but due to its huge size, its movements were not flexible enough.

The spiritual blade pierced into the dragon's head, and spiritual energy particles poured into the dragon's body like a flood.

The dragon's psychic structure was severely damaged again. Its body began to tremble violently and the light gradually dimmed.

Erina Nakiri's face turned pale, and she felt the psychic connection between her and the dragon weakening.

But she did not give up. She concentrated and tried to use her psionic power to reactivate the dragon.

However, Alice Nakiri would not give her this opportunity.

She attacked again, and the spiritual blade slashed across the dragon's neck like lightning. The dragon's head was cut off, and spiritual energy scattered like fireworks.

Erina Nakiri collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with resentment and loss.

Alice Nakiri stood aside, breathing heavily, but with a victorious smile on her face.
