Chapter 545: Mist Gathering into a Tower
Chapter 545: Mist Gathering into a Tower
The process of shaping the shape with the dimensional force is not slow. It is probably because Lin Zhenxi moved the entire suspended city into his own mind field. The shaping of these white mists is also done very well even in the details.
And so, under Lin Zhenxi's expectant gaze, a slender, spindle-shaped behemoth, 1,500 meters high and 3,000 meters tall, emerged from this boundless dimensional space. After the white mist-like dimensional forces had shaped the structure, they all returned to the surrounding dimensional storm without lingering for long.
Moreover, perhaps because they recognized that this was the territory of Lin Zhenxi, the "Lord of the Dimension", those dimensional storms that could decompose matter on contact actually kept their distance, leaving a very empty, long strip of open space around the suspended city. The storms only flowed outside the space, and no dimensional storm crossed that tacit barrier.
Without the dimensional storm blocking his vision, Lin Zhenxi had the opportunity to carefully examine this floating city, which was made entirely of dimensional power without any materials provided by him.
First of all, it was white. Everything was pure white. This was the color of the dimensional force itself. At least Lin Zhenxi hadn't figured out how to change the dimensional force mist from white to other colors.
Because they were all the same color, Lin Zhenxi felt that the white tower was just an external form, and that she would have to add the true essence of the magic circuits herself. However, when Lin Zhenxi actually entered the Floating City, she found that the situation seemed far better than she had expected.
Or rather, it's too good to be true.
Because even those magic circuits and dimensional power were actually set up for me.
Lin Zhenxi really couldn't understand what changes were involved, because all the materials were exactly the same color, and she couldn't even tell the specific locations of the magic circuits.
But once Lin Zhenxi releases his magical perception to sense the status of those magic circuits, he can feel that all the magic circuits are complete. Although they have not been activated, he should only need to provide the floating city with a complete magic core, and the entire floating city should be able to directly enter normal operation.
While furniture and experimental materials, which would require future additions, were still missing, even the magic traps and the magic cannon atop the floating city were fashioned by the power of the dimension. It could be said that the power of the dimension had perfectly replicated the floating city in Hayashi Maki's mind field, one-to-one, without cutting corners. Aside from the color, this white floating city was practically identical to the one Hayashi Maki left behind in Saitama's world.
Lin Zhenxi had used a plethora of materials when building the Floating City. The sheer variety of materials was enough to make him incredibly worried. But now, he was only using Dimensional Power, and its shaping power could not only replicate physical properties, but even magical ones...
What kind of new-age engineering material is this? It’s so invincible.
As long as dimensional energy and elemental particles are used, this almost omnipotent material can be created. The source of this thing is so wide and its function is so powerful that Lin Zhenxi can't help but have a strong sense of unreality.
However, Lin Zhenxi's joy did not last long, because she soon discovered the disadvantage of this material, which was that it seemed to have a high resistance to magic...
To be more precise, it completely refused to accept normal magic power. Clearly, the magic circuits were all normal and unobstructed, but when Lin Zhenxi poured magic power into it and tried to activate a magic circle, the magic circle actually rejected Lin Zhenxi's magic power outright. It couldn't get through at all. Lin Zhenxi felt that this magic channel, which should have been very normal, was completely blocked at the entrance.
No, you are obviously a magic circuit. What does it mean to reject magic power?
However, Lin Zhenxi soon discovered the main reason for this situation, which is that dimensional power and magic power are essentially different.
Although there is a certain connection between the two, after all, the fusion of dimensional energy and elemental particles can produce dimensional power, but dimensional power is resistant to magic.
In other words, Lin Zhenxi only needs to replace the magic power that originally drives the magic circle with dimensional energy, and these magic circles made of dimensional power will be able to operate normally immediately.
And dimensional energy, like dimensional power, is endless in the dimensional space.
But the magic circles were originally designed for magic power, and now they have been replaced by dimensional energy. Can they still function normally?
Oh, good. As expected, it doesn't work. More precisely, all magic circles involving elemental reactions are inoperable. As for those that only react to mana, they can be activated normally when driven by dimensional energy.
To put it more clearly, of the three golden laws of magic, all magic arrays involving "Law 1: Elemental Resonance" were completely broken, while "Law 2: Equivalent Exchange" still worked. As for "Law 3: Soul Materialization," Lin Zhenxi had no way of testing it because she didn't set up a magic array for that aspect in her floating city.
After all, "The Third Law: Soul Materialization" is centered around the soul and will, its primary focus being idealism. Magic circles, on the other hand, are pre-arranged external objects. While not magical, they are more materialistic. Therefore, magic circles designed around "The Third Law: Soul Materialization" are quite rare, and they generally involve soul sacrifice, either to the devil or to evil gods, or even, most seriously, to the very origin of the world. Their focus is on the occult, and they don't fall into the functional magic circles that Lin Zhenxi often employs.
This situation left Lin Zhenxi scratching his head. After all, in Lin Zhenxi's magic system, the "First Law" accounted for the majority, at least 70%. The "Second Law" then made up another 25%, and the final 50% was the "Third Law." Now, this magic circle, forged with dimensional power, didn't support the "First Law." It was useless.
Hmm...what if I dissolve this part of the dimensional power that makes up the magic circle, and then replace it with the materials of a normal magic circle?
This process is actually very convenient, because the dimensional power in Lin Zhenxi's hands is like plasticine that can be manipulated with thoughts. She doesn't even have to do it herself. She just needs to think about it, and a magic circle composed of dimensional power but designed based on the "First Law" will turn into white mist and float in the air, making room for the magic patterns.
Hey, not only can it be polymerized into shape, but it can also be directly restored into white mist, and it is actually reusable!
Kids, you guys are awesome.
The space for the magic pattern was now free. Lin Zhenxi took out a bottle of magic solvent from the space cube and poured it into the magic pattern. Then he infused some magic power into it and guided it to flow throughout the magic circle. With the replacement of the magic circle materials, the magic circle finally no longer resisted magic power and could perform its original function normally.
Don't be afraid of problems, as long as you can solve them. Although this might mean that Lin Zhenxi would need to make drastic changes to the entire magic array system of the floating city, compared with the enormous convenience of using dimensional power to shape and create the floating city out of thin air, this extra work is really nothing.
Anyway, Lin Zhenxi is very excited now. She can't wait to modify the magic circle system of the entire floating city, and then replace the old one in the Heart Field with the new floating city. In this way, she will have achieved her original wish and can carry the floating city with her.
A wizard wandering the wilds might be unable to defeat even a gang of thieves; a single careless move could easily lead to a fatal accident. However, if the wizard were confined to his own tower, conquering it would require an army, at the very least a well-equipped, coordinated, and strategically coordinated squad. If the wizard possessed a floating city, he would be virtually invincible, and defeating such a wizard would require the might of a nation.
This also applies to Lin Zhenxi. If Lin Zhenxi could carry a floating city with her, she wouldn't be able to roam freely in all worlds, but she wouldn't have to worry about the opinions of the natives of other worlds. Lin Zhenxi, appearing in a strange world with a floating city, would no longer be just a visitor from another world, but a powerful force from outside the world. Any force that wanted to deal with Lin Zhenxi, who possessed the floating city, would have to carefully consider whether they had the qualifications to do so.
A super magic fortress that usually floats ten thousand meters in the air, equipped with a full range of long-range and short-range defense weapons, possessing super weapons that can destroy a city with one strike, and can fly out of the atmosphere and reach low-Earth orbit to carry out global strikes. Think carefully before you take action.
Despite her excitement, Lin Zhenxi forced herself to calm down. Renovating the Floating City wasn't something she could complete in just a few minutes, and she didn't have the luxury of time to do it. Rather than renovating and perfecting the pure white Floating City, Lin Zhenxi needed to ensure the smoothness of its summoning and recalling processes.
After all, Lin Zhenxi had only seen such boundless dimensional power in this world. If she left this world, she would never be able to access it again. The amount of dimensional power she could store and carry with her in the String World would be limited. While the amount would be enormous, it was still limited, just like Earth's resources. No matter how much she had, it would eventually run out. Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Zhenxi had planned to recycle and reuse the dimensional power, if that were feasible.
So, if this already formed magic tower is returned to the white mist, can it be condensed and formed again?
