"In our common sense, although ether is the extraordinary blood and the foundation of omnipotence, it is only the foundation - its more important meaning is to become the springboard for the elements of domination."

Elements are what make the extraordinary truly unreasonable. The power that can be equated with "rules" is more direct than any other means, because it is the rules, the original information for constructing this world. Mastering such information is equivalent to mastering part of the essence of the world.

The extraordinary leap is nothing more than deepening the understanding and grasp of the essence of the world. In this process, the existence of ether is indeed just a tool to a deeper level.

"But choosing an element means that the part of you that is extraordinary is fixed. The abyss must endure the corresponding erosion, and even the road to heaven must be engraved with the corresponding elements, and the ether used must have the corresponding color."

You stare into the abyss, and the abyss stares into you.

Even if one escapes from the abyss through the road to heaven, the gaze cannot be avoided... If one wants to control the elements that are the original information of the world, how is it possible that one is not infiltrated by the elements and information themselves?

"And this is the limitation of the road to heaven... Even if you reach the fifth level and have mastered one, two, or even three elements, so what?"

Dormer Grey Tower said this and slowly looked further north, as if he was looking at the sun that was raised by the tyrannical princess.

"The flames of feasting burn the world and dismantle everything. Any element can become their power or food. The nine heads of Hydra coexist, and the power held by each head seems to transcend the elements and is equivalent to the rules of the world itself."

"Think about it. Ms. Zeg, as the head of the Abyss, is only one of the nine heads. However, the Deus Ex Machina she summoned can perfectly integrate and control more than ten, twenty, or even more elements at the same time. Even the emperor can contend with them."

"This is the real God... the gap between us."

A gap even more despairing and heartbreaking than the gap between extraordinary people and ordinary people.

The old man slowly lowered his eyes: "If you want to move forward, you are destined to be trapped in several elements. There is no way to break through the road to heaven. How can you touch the power that transcends everything?"

Hitana's interest was also piqued involuntarily - because she knew very well that she was destined to achieve the sixth level of the road to heaven in the future, and according to the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower, this path was not feasible at present, so how did she break through the boundary between God and man?

"So what's so powerful about divine arts?" Miss Wolf couldn't help asking, "You don't mean to say... divine arts have nothing to do with elements, and are simply driving the ether, right?"

The Grand Duke of Gray Tower chuckled and asked back, "Why not?"

Xitana was stunned. Although she knew nothing about any supernatural theories, she still understood the most basic things.

To describe it in a not-so-appropriate way, ether is energy and elements are means, and the realization of the "omnipotence" represented by the extraordinary cannot be separated from either of them - without energy, means cannot be used; and without means, energy will always be just energy and cannot be effectively utilized.

If divine magic wants to achieve its goal, it cannot avoid using the elements; since it must be contaminated by the elements, it cannot be said to be simply driving the ether, which is a complete contradiction.

Unless the Church creates a "means" of the same person as the elements, but... is this possible?

Elements are the basic rules of the world and the original information of the world. They are the most effective, direct and best means to achieve the goal directly, skipping all logic and principles. What other means can compare with elements?

"The darkness of the abyss is because it is a mixture of all the elements of the world, integrating the boundless and infinite torrent of information. All colors eventually converge into that eternal and unchanging darkness."

"And the 'holy light' that the divine arts emit has discarded all impurities and does not allow any elements to participate in it, restoring the ether to its most original appearance... It is absolutely pure."

"And then?" Sitana asked anxiously, "How did the church achieve its goal by simply using ether instead of elements?"

Not using any elements, just driving the ether, this is something Shitana is very familiar with - this is what she does when she beats people.

What effect can the simply surging ether have other than bringing destruction and devastation?

"Regarding this point..." The Grand Duke of Gray Tower smiled very kindly, "It is exactly the core of my current research. In other words... there is no clue yet, Lord Lance."

"you!"

Xitana's blood pressure rose rapidly, and she felt as if someone had deliberately interrupted her when she was listening to a story with great interest.

"But... it's not without results. Through a lot of research and simulation, I have been able to reproduce some of the aether that is unique to divine magic, but as you can see... it is still not pure, so it cannot achieve the effect that divine magic should have."

"And this proves that..."

Without warning, Dormer Grey Tower turned his gaze towards the silent Hercules.

"The art of God is essentially the same as the road to heaven. It was also created by humans. It is an extraordinary road leading to the highest and seeking transcendence... It has never had anything to do with the so-called gods."

"What's the point of you telling me this?"

Hercules stared at the Gray Tower indifferently:

"Do you still think that I am a believer in the church and that my faith will collapse because of such words?"

Xin wouldn't do that either, because there was a lack of necessary preparation. Dormer needed to give more detailed examples and demonstrate more in-depth research in order to make Xin, who was bewitched by Ansel, waver again.

But he couldn't do that, because Dormer Grey Tower didn't dare to bet whether Anser would lose control because of the following display, so he could only jump to the core content of the research, and this was not enough to convince... Xin now.

As for why he didn't dare to bet whether Ansel would lose control, it was of course because he knew who played Hercules from the beginning to the end.

What’s amazing is that the character he played, Dormer, who “didn’t know the true identity of Hercules”, was completely seen through by Anther from the very beginning.

What’s even more bizarre is that the Saint Lady, who is the core and source of this confrontation... seems to have seen something that Ansher himself did not see.

And is this what fate let her see?

But not necessarily.

Because at the outer edge of the Skyfrost Tower, a crow flapped its wings and flew into the shadows.

Chapter 6: The Inside of the Tower (K)

In the end, Shitana did not demolish the entire research area. On the one hand, she felt that the research of the Grand Duke of Gray Tower was indeed useful. On the other hand, it was because this group of researchers had done nothing to offend her.

Rather, these guys were so abnormal that she felt a little uncomfortable.

When in the imperial capital, Xitana followed Anser to the Tower of Babel many times. She had also seen the enthusiasm of those scholars when they were conducting research, but the research atmosphere at the Skyfrost Tower gave her a completely different feeling.

Miss Wolf, standing at the entrance, looked back and saw that the closed workshops neatly divided the entire area, like an ant nest made of steel.

She couldn't help but think of the researcher named Miller. All his emotions seemed to fluctuate only because of things that could affect his research, whether it was his fanaticism towards Hercules, his indifference to life; or when facing the hostility released by Hitana, he didn't care about himself at all, but only cared about the samples and equipment in the workshop.

Other researchers seem to be the same.

They are like worker ants that have received orders. They carry out their mission meticulously, enthusiastically, resolutely and even enjoy it.

"Is there anything you wish to review, Lord Lance?"

The words of the Grand Duke of Gray Tower brought Hitana back to her senses. She glanced at the malicious old man and still maintained an attitude of not giving him a good look.

"Nothing, I'm just curious, are you going to convince me with this bullshit?"

"Because you are spending your time studying divine arts, the cold disaster is not caused by you?"

Dormer claimed that as long as Hitana saw his research on divine arts, she would understand why he was not the culprit of the cold disaster in the north, but after talking for a long time, he did not produce any substantial evidence.

Because of Anser's pressure, the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower chose to skip the detailed steps to undermine Xin's beliefs, which also made Hitana only half-understand his purpose. Although Dormer added a lot of explanations about theocracy after explaining the reasons and necessity of studying theocracy, Hitana could not understand those nonsense.

Ultimately, what the Grand Duke of Grey Tower demonstrates is just one thing - his desire for transcendence.

Because there is no hope of transcending that boundary from the current road to heaven, he focused on studying divine arts and looking for new possibilities.

But this can't clear his doubts. It's better to say that in order to achieve transcendence, this old man is likely to do anything.

Xitana's merciless sarcasm made Dormer laugh: "It seems that I was too impatient and caused you to misunderstand my purpose."

"Do you think that I study divine arts just for myself?"

Xitana looked at the Grand Duke of Grey Tower as if he were an idiot, and openly disdained the old man's hypocrisy.

Dormer shook his head: "Well, in that case, I can only take you to another place to have a look."

But the wolf, who only took orders from the man who put the collar on her, would no longer allow Dormer Greytower to dictate the pace.

"Go somewhere else? And then stand there like a wooden stake and listen to your nonsense?"

A pack of wolves surrounded the Beast King's feet, growling at the lunatic who dared to offend her majesty.

Xitana slowly brought her five fingers together and clenched her fist, which then caused a violent and violent airflow.

"Don't get me wrong, old man. It's not me asking you for anything. It's you who is humbly asking me to come back. Do you understand?"

In fact, the main reason why Hitana came to the Skyfrost Tower was to rescue the refugees who were sent to the city under the command of the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower by those stupid guys in the church.

But the brutality and brutality she displayed now was more due to her desire to find proof that Grand Duke Grey Tower caused the cold disaster. Besides the fact that she really thought so... it was also to make Grand Duke Grey Tower subconsciously ignore the previous factor.

She had to appear strong enough so that the Grand Duke of Grey Tower would not use the safety of those refugees to pressure her unscrupulously.

Although she doesn't know why, this old man has been inexplicably indulged her to do whatever she wants, but Super Hitana will not let her guard down!

You want me to continue to follow your instructions? No way!

Miss Wolf, who thought she had broken free from the rhythm of the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower, was very proud, and after a brief silence, Dormer also calmly accepted her dominance:

"In that case, it depends on your mood, Lord Lance. You can go wherever you want to go."

"That's pretty much it."

With her chin held high, Xitana walked ahead, and the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower followed after politely making a "please" gesture to Anser.

It seemed that he was not bothered by Sitana's toughness.

He really wouldn't be troubled by this, after all, this was his purpose, and also... the purpose of fate.

Let Hitana, through her own choices and with her own eyes, get to know this tower, which is actually so unfamiliar to her.

“It’s really…unpleasant”

"What's wrong, Mr. Devil?"

Anser, who was walking at the back, responded softly to the Saint Lady's gentle question: "In terms of calculation, Xi'er is certainly no match for Dormer Gray Tower. This is a fact."

“But I won’t allow that to happen.”

Hydra's eyes narrowed slightly, like a snake slowly and cruelly baring its fangs.

"This calmness and confidence is as if Xi'er's efforts and growth are regarded by him as stepping stones for his plan to succeed... He will pay the price for this."

"..."

Xin always felt that the "he" Anser mentioned might not refer to the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower, even though the current context only referred to the old man.

Because she didn't think that the Grand Duke of the Gray Tower was worthy of Mr. Devil's emotional fluctuations.

"So, what is Mr. Devil going to do?" Xin asked softly, "Hercules is not suitable to be the role of avenging Miss Wolf."

While asking this question, the Saint Lady was still thinking about Marina's question - what was going on between her and Ansher.

Is this the difference between her and Hitana in Ansir's heart?

Xin always felt that she was close. The complex emotions that had undergone several changes and were now stable made Xin feel an indescribable sense of...security.

A sense of security that she really exists, the saint who saves the devil, the saint named Xin really exists.

That made Xin feel more secure than the increasingly illusory faith, the gods that were no longer above all things, and the assistants who were not eternally great.

"Hercules is certainly not suitable for this kind of thing, but there are people who are."

Anser stroked the ring on his left ring finger and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"The one who knows what to do without my orders."

*

In the corridor that was wide enough to accommodate at least four carriages parked side by side, all the students and teachers stood on both sides, and no one dared to walk to the middle.

It wasn't because the great founder of the Skyfrost Tower was walking towards them - after all, everyone knew that the principal was very approachable. It was because of the arrogant white-haired woman who was walking in front of the principal.

“Nothing has changed here.”

Xitana put her hands in her coat pockets and raised her chin slightly: "The students should have changed several times... Why, now they all know me?"

"The news of your return to the Skyfrost Tower must have spread to every corner of the academy through the spiritual ceremony." The Grand Duke of the Gray Tower smiled, "It's hard for students and teachers not to recognize you."

"Ok?"

Xitana paused, turned her head and looked at Dormer, frowning: "You mean, those bastards who have offended me also know that I'm back?"

"If nothing unexpected happens... yes."

"Tsk." Miss Wolf smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. "Then they must have all run away. Boring... Is Lingyi so efficient?"

"You should know its powerful effects and unlimited potential better than us."

A palm-sized piece of transparent glass appeared in the hand of the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower. He looked down at this masterpiece that had been created with the best efforts of 80% of the scholars of the Skyfrost Tower, and sighed with emotion.

"Until now, I still cannot imagine... how talented a person must be to be able to create such a miraculous thing independently."

"I don't know why Ms. Zeger didn't develop her data system. She is eager for change and possibility. She should know better than anyone what a brilliant future a new alchemy system based on the data system can create... Maybe she is too busy."

"If Ms. Zeger can stick to her ideals and focus on the world instead of limiting herself to human disputes, I think she will achieve the same success as Mr. Flamel."

...Why does this sound weird? What do you mean the conflict is not limited to humans?

However, it seems that Ming Fuluo did have this tendency in the past, and she has been nagging recently because she thinks too much, and I don’t know how she is now.

Come to think of it, what on earth did Anser do with Ming Fuluo in Donggang? And that Xin, she seems to be more normal recently, but why does she always feel like she is getting more and more dangerous——

"Lance...sir."
