Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

At present, the only person who knows the reason behind all this is the person who created all this - Xuer.

He looked at his apprentice who gave him an inquiring look.

Xiuer did not hide it either.

So he spoke up and explained to Tuxon the reason for all this.

"【Answer】This energy is deadly and toxic to all living things."

Xiuer explained the reason simply and clearly.

......

Chapter 49: The power to be [toxic] to living things

【Dimensional Energy】

It is Xiuer's most core "energy" now, and it is also the main and only energy source for the "dimensional device" he uses when traveling in different dimensions.

As the system was integrated into Xuer's body, a string of data containing all the characteristics and usage methods of dimensional energy was also synchronously recorded into his database.

Apart from the system, no one understands [dimensional energy] better than Xiuer.

It has the property of being able to convert into any [energy] on a one-to-one basis, but the prerequisite is that Xuer has the information about this energy. In other words, he needs to encounter and record the energy characteristics before he can manipulate the dimensional energy to convert it into the specified energy.

Its source is a special energy extracted from the world's energy by the system after subsequent processing. This system is the only one that possesses this technology.

And only the host selected and transformed by the system has the qualifications to use this energy.

It has properties that far exceed the energy of the current world. Yes, [dimensional energy] must be stronger than the energy of the world it is in. Precisely because its production process integrates the world's energy as materials, after systematic refining, it will naturally be more powerful than the "material".

This is also the reason why it can be converted into any energy, and in a sense, this conversion is actually a "downgrading" of dimensional energy.

In addition, because of this extraction method, Xuul's energy supply is directly equivalent to the [world energy supply].

It seems that this energy is a perfect energy in every aspect.

But one thing needs to be noted, "Only the host is qualified to use it." The real meaning of this sentence is that only the host can withstand the power of this energy.

Only the host's body, after being systematically transformed, can avoid being dispersed by the violent force of dimensional energy when it comes into contact with it.

Without this prerequisite, the dimensional energy will inevitably cause [destructive damage] to the "animals" that come into contact with it.

As for why no harm is caused to the "plants", the information provided by the system also explains it, so I will not go into details here.

This violent energy will penetrate into the body of the person who comes into contact with it the moment it makes contact. Then, within the next second, the person's body will be unable to withstand this energy, and its body structure will immediately "collapse" and split into molecular forms. Visually, this person seems to have been "scattered" by something, leaving nothing behind.

The energy originally stored in the self-circulating body of Shuul will not cause any harm to the outside world, but his [Full Cross] attack method, in the original Ex-Machina, is to directly shoot "Spirit Terror" to hit the target.

The energy in his body had long been free of the existence of the elves and their corpses.

So as an alternative, Xuer directly shot out the dimensional energy.

And its power is naturally obvious to all.

This world covered in "gold" is the result. The air, the surface of plants, the land, the sky, everywhere is filled with dimensional energy.

The golden light was like "holy light", spreading from the sky to the ground. All the alloy-colored things combined together to create a sacred and deadly picture.

Because he had already guessed the consequences of his attack.

Xiuer had already ordered one of his clones to cover Takson's surface with a layer of [protective cloth] to isolate it from all of this, thus preventing Takson from being [accidentally injured?].

But for some reason, even though nothing would happen now, Xuel still chose to stop Takson from touching the flowers, plants and trees that were contaminated with dimensional energy.

"【Warning】If you come into contact with this 'golden energy', your body will be disintegrated into molecular form in the next second, and the 'Takson' individual will cease to exist."

Although this scene will not appear in Takson due to the existence of the "shield", it does not prevent Shul from using this to warn him.

"what?!"

After hearing this, Takson immediately withdrew his hand and came to Xiuer's side. He put his hands directly on the latter's shoulders with an expression of obvious fear on his face.

"[It is] definitely fatal to living organisms."

"Teacher, if I remember correctly, you just said that all this was caused by your 'attack', right?"

"【affim】"

"Then you can restore all this, teacher."

Takson did not doubt that his teacher was using such behavior that could harm a large ecological environment. The first thing he thought of was that Xuer must have a way to deal with it.

This beautiful scenery actually hides such danger. Fortunately, I have my sister Xiuer by my side, otherwise I would be in trouble.

It seems that all this was caused by Sister Xiuer?

Forget it, don’t think about it too much.

"..."

Xiuer didn't answer.

"Teacher, can you handle this situation?"

Takson, who had always trusted Shul unconditionally, now became less confident in this silence.

"[Refutation] There's no need to address it, it will be over soon."

"Eh? Huh?!"

"Don't worry about it?"

The teacher must have her reasons for doing this.

Sure enough, the next second, considering that Takson didn't understand, Xuer chose to reveal some information to him.

"[Answer] This energy will degrade into harmless energy after 30 seconds."

That's right, although dimensional energy will cause devastating damage to the surrounding ecology after leaving the body, it cannot "survive" in the outside world for too long after leaving the body of Xuer.

To be precise, within 34.7 seconds after the dimensional energy leaves the body, it will quickly [degrade] into the "special" energy of the current world.

For example, now, things that were originally "dyed" gold suddenly began to "fade" rapidly.

The gold disappeared, revealing the original appearance that was hidden underneath. In an instant, the forced picture changed.

Takson suddenly doubted whether the scene just now was an illusion.

At this moment, the woods within a radius of several thousand meters centered on the maze became extremely quiet. There were no more calls of birds and beasts as before, and the land was so clean that there was not even a single insect.

All animals seemed to have been "deleted", making the area unusually quiet. Apart from plants, there were no living things.

This is the future that Xuel speculated after releasing that attack.

The replicas in the maze were unable to stop his attacks. The Water Mirror Demon turned into ashes when it was covered by this energy, and all the treasures in its room were destroyed.

When I think about it this way, it suddenly feels like a pity.

But Xiuer did not lose heart, he knew that there was a way to salvage the situation.

Seeing Tuxon's puzzled expression, he squatted down, and his two tails emerged from the hem of his clothes and inserted into the ground under his feet.

Afterwards, a huge magic array that could cover an area of ​​several thousand meters directly covered the area affected by the dimensional energy.

At this moment, Xiuer's eyes shone brightly.

—【Open the Code】—【True Code】—【Boundary·Restore·Instant·Except Monsters and Maze Gaps】—

Not much time passed, and Xuer was able to easily and directly control this large area and perform a small-scale [time reversal].

Yes, the so-called "restoration" is actually to directly "reverse" time, and directly rewind the "timeline" of this area to before the incident happened.

And the animals that were supposed to be dead also exist in this timeline, so they are resurrected in this way.

As for the philosophical question of whether the resurrected individual is still the original individual, it is not within the scope of Shul's consideration.

Of course, because [Filtering] has been added, the dead Water Mirror Demon will not be selected and resurrected by the spell.

But all the treasures in the house were restored, and because Xuel rejected the [restoration] of the maze, the gap created by breaking through all the walls from the door of the final room became his shortcut to the treasure room.

"[Reminder] Tuxon, stay put here. Let me do the recovery work. Once everything is ready, we'll go back to find Celia."

"Ah yes!"

Because he had witnessed magic that was enough to shatter the worldview of ordinary people, and fortunately, he had always been with Xuel, and had seen many things beyond common sense, most of which were shocking to him by Xuel.

The "well-trained" Takson was immediately brought back to his senses by Xuer's words.

After quickly responding, he watched Xuer's back disappear into the dark gap in the maze.

"After all, she's Sister Xiuer, so it's not surprising. It turns out that my mentality needs to be improved."

Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Takson sorted out his emotions while waiting for Xuul's return.

......

----

......

"You were the one who made that noise before, weren't you?"

On the high platform, a blonde elf sat in a large chair, her unchanging dead fish eyes staring straight at the blue-purple figure below the stage.

Although her body looked particularly petite in the wide chair, the pressure she released also made Takson beside Xuer nervous.

What's going on with this atmosphere?

Is this elf going to come after us?!

That maze was not far from the magic city, and the aftermath of Shuul's attack almost reached here.

This also makes the magicians in the city the closest observers in this world.

If Celie hadn't immediately stopped the magicians who wanted to find out what was going on, there might have been several of them "everywhere" due to contact with [Gold].

The reason she took action was, of course, that she had discovered the [danger] of this energy long before this group of people, without anyone knowing.

Facing Celie's questioning tone.

Xiuer was not affected at all. There was no "emotion" in his lifeless golden eyes. He just responded in his usual tone.

"【affim】"

"Aren't you going to explain?"

"..."

To be honest, at this time, Xuer had already guessed Celia's purpose.

To her, her attack was considered "unknown magic", which was the thing that most interested Celie. Brand new magic, updated and improved magic were what Celie wanted to see the most.

It's a pity that the truth will disappoint her.

"【Negative】That's not "magic."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuer's visual system immediately captured the other person's mouth corners that drooped instantly.

"So, this is also your own unique 'system'?"

Yes, as early as after the first battle with Xuer, Celie returned to her residence and immediately began to analyze the gains from the battle with Xuer.

Countless "unknown" magic, countless attacks using "unknown" energy, everything about the opponent is "unknown", and she cannot understand its principles.

Although in Celia's memory, there is also magic with similar effects that can restore Shul's performance.

But no matter which one it is, none of them can reach the terrifying level of Xuer.

It was at this time that Celie divided Xuel's abilities into a new "system", a system that no one in this world could "learn".

"【affim】"

"..."

Celia stared into Xiuer's eyes, and they both fell silent.

A few seconds later, Celia narrowed her eyes in distress and let out a sigh, announcing the end of this farce.

"Okay, do whatever you want."

In fact, Celie didn't care what Xuel did. She asked this question just because she was curious about Xuel's attack.

Seeing that she had gotten the answer, her attitude naturally collapsed immediately.

After finishing the conversation with Celie, Xuel, who was now fine, walked towards the exit without hesitation.
