Chapter 478: Death Star Explosion and Law of Death

…

"Are the changes in the ether so extreme?"

After hearing this, Matthew frowned slightly and couldn't help but complain.

He did not question the correctness of Martin's reasoning.

On the one hand, the artificers of Cyber ​​Dragon have been observing Irondor from a high position for thousands of years. They are very keen on changes in the general environment, not to mention that the artificers themselves have an understanding of ether that is not inferior to that of mages;

On the other hand, Matthew himself can also sense traces of violent fluctuations in the ether.

But at first he thought this was just a normal phenomenon where the God of Truth absorbed a large amount of Queen Ether.

As long as the chaos storm disappears.

The ether will then return to normal levels.

But now it seems that things are not that simple.

The entire environment of Irondor is full of complex and changing possibilities, and nothing is stable.

"extreme?"

Martin shook his head and said:

"In fact, this is normal."

"Just like the tides, the concentration of ether rises and falls."

"We have observed many planes, and almost all planes follow the law of the fluctuations of the ether tide, with the exception of the main material world."

"The main material realm is the only country in the multiverse that maintains a high ether level and has little overall fluctuation..."

Matthew suddenly realized:

"Because of the permanent barrier?"

Martin nodded and said:

"Yes."

"All this is the work of the natural disaster mage."

"The permanent barrier not only maintains the stability of the main material world on the physical level, but also restricts the fluctuations of the ether. This creates a greenhouse-like environment for the mages of Irondor, so that they do not have to face the pain of excessive chaotic ether."

"But everything comes at a price."

"The permanent barrier protected Irondor, but caused the nearby secondary planes to suffer from the drying up of ether. Therefore, most of the top powerhouses in the secondary planes are not mages."

"And after these people integrate into the material world, they will have the opportunity to grow into top-notch experts with amazing strength."

"In this case, the dominance of the Irondor mages may be broken."

"This will be more obvious after the sharp decline in ether levels."

"Although the divine mage is here, the alliance still controls the top combat power, but who knows whether a divine sword master will emerge from the cracks in the stone in a few years?"

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

He thought these few sentences were all Martin wanted to say.

Who knew that this guy would not let go of Matthew's hand and talked for a long time in one breath.

Matthew wanted to chase the butterflies, feeling somewhat anxious.

However, as the person in charge of foreign affairs of Cyber ​​Dragon, Martin's strength is not yet clear. What he revealed in terms of intelligence and deduction is all top-notch information.

Matthew had to raise his ears to listen patiently, for fear of missing some important information.

"...That's pretty much it. After the Age of Gods, the Age of Mage, the Age of Withering Laws, and the Nirvana, it was the turn of the giant beast to appear."

Martin said without hesitation:

"Actually, the arrival of the Withering Era has not yet been determined."

"The biggest leader among them is a top mage like you."

"If you choose to give up rescuing the City of Order and allow the Golden Ring to fall, then the era of mages will continue to evolve until it goes crazy, and then it will end..."

"Even after the Golden Ring incident was over, you had every chance to indulge the chaotic ether in the world of Irondor, but you didn't do that. This is what I admire most about you..."

Matthew was speechless.

From Martin's mouth, he learned that he was very likely to unintentionally change the future career pattern of Irondor.

Once ether levels dropped sharply.

Irondor will usher in an era of withered law that has not been seen in thousands of years.

The opposite of ether expansion.

In the Age of Dry Law, the strength of mages will be greatly restricted.

Matthew's legendary road will also be difficult.

But everything has two sides.

According to Martin.

If Matthew could ascend to Legend in the Withered Magic Era, his strength would be many times stronger than a mage who would normally be promoted to Legend.

Moreover, the withered spell era has a very low impact on mages above the level of legend.

The main impact is the change in the number of professionals at Legend and below.

After all, withered Dharma is not the end of Dharma.

For some mages, the downturn in ether is an opportunity.

After describing the possibility of another environmental change that the world of Irondor may face next.

Martin asked Matthew to go to Cyber ​​Dragon again:

"You have a lot of fans at Cybertron!"

“Some are more fanatical than me.”

"I have a friend who admires the choice you made in the Battle of God. He invented a new type of bomb, and his name is Matthew..."

"Someone has already created arcane armor and charged structures for you in advance."

"Believe me."

"Once you arrive at Cybertron, the artificers there will quickly arm you, and you will become very powerful -

I know you are strong enough now.

But no strong person would refuse the help of an artificer..."

The dwarf said a lot more.

In and out of words, it seems that Matthew is already a big star of Cyber ​​Dragon.

It made Matthew feel a little embarrassed.

The end.

The dwarf took out a flashlight-like gadget and handed it to Matthew:

"I received news from Mr. Butterfly. I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. I just used this "etheric lightsaber" as a meeting gift. "

The flashlight just showed up.

Matthew sensed the violent fluctuations of ether inside——

Honestly.

He is now a little allergic to objects with excessive ether content, not to mention this is the creation of an artificer.

Matthew's instinct was to say no.

However, Martin looked earnest and sincere, and Matthew couldn't bear to hurt this "fan", so he could only be grateful while carefully taking the "flashlight".

"As long as you continue to inject mana, it will eject a magic laser that can hurt people."

"The spell laser can continue to exist. Depending on how much mana you input, the intensity and length of the spell laser can be determined."

"This thing is just a small toy, so its destructive power is very average. At most, it is like a fifth-level evocation spell. But the length is still considerable, and it can be extended to up to 400 meters!"

Martin introduced with a hint of pride:

"The biggest advantage of this little thing is its concealment and suddenness."

"The startup speed is also very fast, no more than 0.01 seconds. It is very suitable for self-defense. Even if you don't need it yourself, you can also use it to send friends, lovers, etc...."

Matthew tried it and found that the effect of this etheric lightsaber was surprisingly good.

The main thing is that it's long enough.

With his magic power, he can easily activate it to more than two hundred meters.

The holder has a thought.

The effect of the magic laser is instantaneous and can be said to be quite sharp.

Effective range is a very important prerequisite in combat.

Can hit objects four hundred meters away in an instant——

Just this attribute.

This flashlight is a very good magic weapon.

The only drawback of this thing is that the laser will get seriously hot if it lasts for a long time.

But this is not a problem for Matthew.

He has control over negative energy. He only needs to inject a little negative energy on the surface of his skin to easily resist the overheating of the etheric lightsaber.

After thanking Martin for the gift.

Matthew took the initiative to talk about the butterfly's whereabouts.

Until then.

The dwarf artificer slapped his forehead:

"I was so excited that I almost forgot about the business."

"Mr. Butterfly drove the God of Truth to the depths of the star realm. Although doing so can better protect the City of Order, the more chaotic environment of the star realm may still cause the ether in the God of Truth to go out of control."

"We must find him as soon as possible!"

Matthew nodded:

"I am planning to enter the star realm, but I need clues from the God of Truth."

"Can you tell the direction in which the butterfly leaves?"

The dwarf pondered:

"It's hard."

"Once living creatures or aircraft enter the star realm, it will become very complicated to continue tracking them."

“There is a widespread phenomenon of dark bite in most star realm areas——

This means that traces left by life activities or natural laws will be swallowed up by special substances hidden in the dark.

Even though the God of Truth will leave a lot of ether and burning traces along the way.

It is also difficult for us to judge the whereabouts of Mr. Butterfly based on this..."

Matthew sighed softly.

Astral travel is indeed a very troublesome matter.

If the Cyber ​​Dragon couldn't help, he would have no choice but to take the risk on his own.

But the next second.

But I heard Martin say:

"But the God of Truth has finally completed his transformation and become one of the most powerful constructed beings. We can use the "Construct Tracking Technique" to determine the general direction of the God of Truth and then find the whereabouts of the butterfly. "

"I myself cannot enter the star realm with you, but the small mine can."

"She masters the art of construct tracking and is also good at driving a cuttlefish boat. Maybe she can help you."

The small mine next to it moved half a step forward:

"Is this an order?"

Martin shrugged:

"Look at yourself."

"You know, I've never liked giving orders to you - other than lowering your humor quotient."

Under Matthew's curious gaze.

A smiling face appeared on the crystal plate of the small mine:

"I am willing to serve Mr. Matthew."

"Remember to give me a signature when you come back. I can exchange a lot of parts at Cyberron..."

Matthew smiled hoarsely.

After reaching an agreement with Martin, things went very smoothly.

He borrowed a cuttlefish boat from the Cybertron Rescue Team that could navigate the astral plane.

Except for the small mine, a multi-functional life construct.

Martin also stuffed two constructs named "Mariner One" and "Mariner Two" into the cuttlefish boat.

They will be responsible for the daily maintenance, operation and simple protection tasks of the cuttlefish boat.

Matthew is also vigorous and resolute in his work.

Half an hour later.

Under the command of Little Mine.

The two sailor-type structures performed their respective duties, and the cuttlefish boat successfully took off from the temporary air launch platform built by the Cybertron rescue team.

Less than ten minutes.

They quickly left the material world through "phase transition"!

The cuttlefish boat is a small to medium-sized flying vehicle.

Its appearance looks like a cuttlefish, with a propeller at the tail and only the middle and head can accommodate passengers and sailors.

To prevent phase transition problems.

Therefore, there is no way to solidify the space folding spell inside most small and medium-sized astral vehicles.

This results in a small vehicle space.

present.

Matthew sat half-lying on his back on a shell-shaped seat that fully covered his whole body.

In front of him was an extremely thick convex mirror. Through the smooth and clear mirror, he could clearly see all the scenery on the front of the cuttlefish boat.

The boundless starry sky, flying meteors, broken night...

Scenes that cannot be seen in the physical world.

Now Matthew has a panoramic view.

However, after getting over the initial anxiety and excitement, the scenery you can see when entering the star realm is actually the same.

Matthew quickly got used to it.

It didn't take long.

The cuttlefish boat passed near the permanent barrier during a phase jump.

Matthew happened to see a large group of astral aliens lying on the broken barrier. They were using a tool like a battering ram to violently attack the gap in the barrier.

And not far away elsewhere.

A large number of astral creatures gathered near almost every gap on the permanent barrier.

They are eager to break through the barrier and enter the continent of Irondor!

See this scene.

Matthew didn't take action.

Instead, I felt heavy inside.

Although most of the astral creatures are extremely evil, not every individual is full of evil.

There are also old and weak women and children among them, as well as gentle-tempered creatures.

And the reason why they can't wait to enter the material world.

I'm afraid I'm just looking for a more stable place to live.

This was further confirmed after Matthew took the cuttlefish boat deep into the star realm.

The impact of the Big Rip is disruptive.

But compared to the disaster in the star realm.

Disasters in the material world can only be described as childish.

Matthew went straight into the star realm and saw that the outer world was either in the process of being shattered or had become a cold ruin.

"In the Great Rip, almost 90% of the star gathering places were destroyed..."

"The turmoil in the material world means the collapse of the outer plane."

"These astral creatures are actually just looking for a way out."

Such thoughts lingered in Matthew's heart.

Putting aside the power of mapping the original world.

In fact, the most intuitive problem facing Aindo is that environmental resources cannot support such a large population!

So there were disputes of one kind or another.

"Perhaps, this is also a kind of self-purification of the will of the plane..."

Matthew thought.

The number of intelligent life cannot increase indefinitely. When it reaches a certain peak, the factors buried deep in the entire multiverse will be disturbed.

Environmental changes, resource reduction, disasters...

These are the mechanisms of self-purification and regulation of the will of the universe.

However, it is precisely all of this that generates a lot of heat in the rise and fall of the multiverse.

And heat is the fire of life that the giant beasts covet.

"So what behemoths or higher-dimensional beings in the void crave are actually the huge noises and disturbances produced between the birth and death of life..."

Waves of realization flooded into Matthew's mind.

During that seemingly endless flight, he thought a lot.

Matthew today.

There have been extremely in-depth explorations in the fields of nature and life.

Only immortality and death are still poorly understood.

His intuition told him.

The last link of his legendary way is closely related to the fire of life that the giant beasts crave.

The feeling was quite subtle and unbearably itchy.

It seems that the answer that can reveal all the answers to the mystery is right in front of you, but it is separated by a layer of hazy fog, which makes it difficult to see clearly and distantly, just like looking at flowers in the fog.

Don't know how long it has been.

Matthew's thoughts gradually converged.

But in the process, as he looked at the dark starry sky outside the glass cover, his inner emotions gradually turned to sadness and loneliness:

"For things like domain, some can rely on sudden enlightenment, some can rely on indoctrination from others, but there are also a small number of things that may require accumulation over time..."

“I’m lucky to be able to control so many areas at the same time.”

"Only the way of immortality is what I practice day and night, but I still can't get in."

"Does this road require a long period of accumulation?"

It’s not that Matthew is unwilling to accumulate.

It's just that the ever-changing environment in Aindo really didn't give him a chance to settle down.

Think of this.

There were many more negative emotions in his heart.

"wrong."

"I just saved Canning City, I shouldn't be so depressed."

Matthew had a clear mind and immediately realized something was wrong.

At this moment.

Xiao Di Lei came over, a big smile appeared on her crystal board, and it even looked a little funny:

"Mr. Matthew!"

"Look at me!"

"Look at me, look at me!"

Matthew smiled:

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Di Lei's voice suddenly turned into a delicate and sweet female voice:

"Is this your first time entering the star realm?"

"When most people first enter the star realm, they will be impressed by the vastness and beauty of the starry sky. However, soon after, they will soon feel the insignificance of themselves and the vastness of the starry sky, and then produce many unnecessary negative emotions."

"Artificers call this phenomenon "Astral Syndrome." "

"Astral syndrome varies from person to person, and can be mild or severe. The most severe cases may cause a person to commit suicide suddenly, so in order to prevent this, I hope you can look at my smiling face more often and appreciate my sweet voice."

"If you need it, you can increase my humor index, not too much, just restore it to the normal level of 25%."

"Then I can tell you a few high-level jokes to offset the negative effects of astral syndrome!"

Matthew thought about it.

He still declined Little Landmine's proposal-

Before leaving, Martin had reminded him that he must not adjust Little Landmine's humor index to above 0, otherwise there might be problems.

"Little Landmine is very much looking forward to helping you!"

A pitiful expression appeared on the crystal plate of the construct:

"Don't you want to get out of the Astral Syndrome quickly?"

Matthew smiled:

"For me, this is not a symptom, at most it's just a little interesting emotion."

"After all, any novel experience is necessary to experience, even if it is negative, I don't want to miss it."

A frustrated expression immediately floated across the crystal plate of Little Landmine.

But she didn't say much.

She just lay down beside Matthew and waited obediently.

Matthew quietly felt the sadness and insignificance in his heart.

In fact, after experiencing the twilight catastrophe.

Matthew should not have had the Astral Syndrome, let alone this series of negative emotions.

He thought about it.

The reason is probably still the "Innocent Heart" given by the Goddess of Magic.

Although the heart has been petrified and shattered.

But the effect seems to have been permanent in Matthew.

He found that he had become much more sensitive in terms of emotions, and any emotion could remain fresh after a certain period of time -

What's more amazing is.

This freshness does not affect Matthew's thinking and judgment.

It's as if his feelings and logic have been separated from each other.

Feelings are feelings.

Logic is logic.

The two do not affect each other and operate independently.

This allows him to maintain his precious original intention and maintain his mature judgment.

"No wonder the goddess of magic can rely on it to resist the invasion of chaotic ether..."

Matthew can appreciate the wonder of the innocent heart more and more.

A few minutes later.

Matthew has completely broken free from the astral syndrome.

He asked Little Landmine:

"When will the construct tracking spell be activated?"

Little Landmine replied:

"We are currently following the ether traces left by the God of Truth to conduct basic tracking."

"Before encountering the astral undercurrent or a large-scale dark swallowing area, there is no need to use the construct tracking spell."

Matthew nodded:

"How long will it take to experience the dark swallowing area?"

Little Landmine took the initiative to untie a bundle of plugs under her body and plugged two of them into the control console of the cuttlefish boat.

Ten seconds later.

She replied:

"Two hours."

"The speed of the cuttlefish boat is not fast, but it is concealed enough. We are alone in the astral world. The most important thing is safety. What do you think?"

Matthew had no opinion.

Compared to the constructs of Cybertron.

His experience in astral travel is very shallow.

It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.

It's just that he lay in the chair for a while and felt a little bored-

This is also the norm for astral travel.

Although there are many dangerous places, most of the worlds of the journey are long and boring.

Matthew was in a daze for a while.

Then he chatted with the constructs.

After trying to induce Matthew to raise his humor index twice without success, Little Landmine went to the other side of the cabin to sulk.

As for the other two constructs, their intelligence level was a bit low, and Matthew had nothing to talk about with them.

So he simply took out a few spell books from his bag and took the time to learn spells.

Matthew was learning spells in the squid boat. It was just a casual attempt, but the effect of learning was amazing.

In less than two hours.

He actually learned two legendary spells in one go!

This surprised Matthew himself.

He has "outstanding wisdom" and the speed of learning spells is ten times faster than normal, but this is a legendary spell!

In theory.

Matthew has a very high level of practice of the legendary way and a strong degree of exploration in the dead realm. It is possible for him to successfully learn legendary spells in advance.

This is also one of the prerequisites for his attempt.

But this success is too smooth and too simple! ?

"Is it related to the environment of the astral world?"

"Or is it related to the ether storm I just experienced?"

Matthew didn't fully understand the connection.

But this did not prevent him from mastering two extremely powerful necromancy spells in advance!

...

"Necromancer Starburst: You can choose a meteorite with a diameter of no more than 1 km in the astral world and slowly inject negative energy into it.

When the negative energy in the meteorite reaches a certain level.

It will become your weapon.

You can control this meteorite to strike a specific target at a very long distance (cannot cross planes/maximum distance 3000 kilometers).

After the meteorite hits the target, not only will a huge explosion occur, but it will also spread a large amount of negative energy and death clouds, thereby creating a Jedi with only the undead!"

"Death by Law: You can make one or more targets directly bear at least 12 rounds of instant death checks in the following two ways-

1. Call out any name, title or nickname that can refer to the target.

2. Look at any target within the field of vision.

Note 1: Death by Law has strong legendary resistance penetration and a judgment success rate at least twice higher than that of ordinary instant death spells;

Note 2: The interval between each round of judgment does not exceed 30 seconds.

Note 3: Every time you kill a living creature with Death by Law, you have a chance to get a slight increase in the success rate of instant death judgment"

...

Necromancer Starburst needs no further explanation.

This is a legendary spell with extremely destructive power, and it can also artificially create a land of the undead.

And Death by Law is also the signature of the necromancer after he advances to the legendary level.

It is the advanced level of instant death spells such as Pale Hand, Touch of Death, and Finger of Death in the legendary field. The lethality is more than twice that of the original spells.

This thing is at least on the same level as the "Soul Siphon" of Jaeger's Blade.

With it.

Matthew has officially become a legendary necromancer!

"It seems that learning the legendary spells in the field of necromancy is no longer a difficult task for me."

"It's a pity that there are not many spells in this field, and even fewer useful ones..."

"I just wonder if I can learn the legendary spells in other fields in advance?"

Matthew just thought so.

The little mine, who was originally lying on the other end of the cabin, suddenly rushed to Matthew with wires all over his body and an excited expression.

Matthew realized something:

"Have you arrived at the dark devouring area?"

The little mine replied:

"No."

"But I seem to have found the whereabouts of Butterfly-sama!"

"The Cuttlefish boat just intercepted the psychic communication of a nearby starship!"

Matthew raised his eyelids:

"You can also intercept psychic communication?"

The little mine showed a proud expression:

"Of course!"

"Cyberdragon can do everything!"

The next second.

A deep male voice was broadcasted on the console:

"All alchemists, listen up!"

"The mechanical butterfly carrying the ether core has arrived near the target area!"

"Please cooperate with friendly forces to complete the capture of the ether core in the target area..."

Then the coordinates of the "target area" were repeated.

Matthew was shocked:

"Can you confirm which area of ​​the star realm this coordinate points to?"

Little Landmine was lying on the console like an octopus, operating frantically, and sparks kept coming out of the plug connection.

"Found it!"

Little Landmine shouted.

Matthew leaned over to take a look.

A three-dimensional star map appeared on the screen of the console.

There were light spots marked on it.

Each light spot represented a star realm force.

One of the yellow light spots was particularly bright.

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

But next to the yellow light spot was a striking word——

…

"Planet Stuluk"

…

I had a stomachache and had a leak, so I have finished the update. I will try to update at 6 o'clock in the future. If there is no update at 6 o'clock, there will be one before 12 o'clock at night.
