Chapter 1531: Relocation Device, Luowei Goes Missing

In this situation, Xia Duo could of course choose to continue stabilizing the overlap between the Semi-plane and the Main Plane, but that would require risking the situation Iolum was failing to control spreading here; in fact, it had already spread.

"Sigh—it seems this is the only way!"

Xia Duo glanced at Gawani and the other two, then looked at the Independent Arcane Fire Device in the center of the plane overlap area, his heart hardening as he made a decision.

"Gawani, Bogesi, Aersong, I am going to transfer the device elsewhere, take care of yourselves!"

"Transfer the device elsewhere?!"

Gawani was greatly shocked upon hearing this. The Independent Arcane Fire Device was not fixed and immovable, but because the device itself was extremely delicate and massive, and required being in a special zero-gravity environment at all times, relocation was not easy.

When the initial prototype had not yet entered the practical stage, starting the device was often equivalent to its disintegration and destruction; only later was it gradually possible to control its shutdown and reuse it.

And recently, due to the interference of the Magic Net Dead Zone, the Semi-plane frequently had problems, making the relocation of the device a problem that had to be considered.

The previous few spare devices were not all destroyed in Semi-plane accidents or during experiments, but were severely damaged during the relocation process, leaving no need for repair in the short term.

This made the device before them the last one in a factual sense.

Moreover, device relocation often required a group of people to coordinate; it was basically impossible for one person to do it. Now that Xia Duo said he would relocate it himself, Gawani's first reaction was disbelief.

But seeing Xia Duo already charging into the plane overlap area, he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping everything would go smoothly.

On the other side, after entering the plane overlap area, Xia Duo immediately disabled his 【Walking Ring】, and faint clouds began to appear around him.

In a zero-gravity environment, 【Cloud-Stepping】 might be more adaptable, and the facts were indeed as he thought; in the zero-gravity environment of the plane overlap area dominated by the Semi-plane's characteristics, he felt as if he had returned home.

This feeling even gave him an illusion, as if his bloodline were breathing and growing.

However, at this moment, Xia Duo could not spare the time to consider these things. He quickly flew to the side of the Independent Arcane Fire Device. Though he was considered tall among humans, he appeared exceptionally petite and small in front of the nearly hundred-meter-tall Independent Arcane Fire Device.

Yet it was this small body that had created such a massive Psionic Creation, and in the future, there might be various even more massive, incredible, or minutely incredible magical creations.

Observing at close range, Xia Duo felt the power of Magic even more deeply, and his heart could not help but surge.

Of course, his hand movements were not slow; if he happened to waste this bit of time and caused the relocation to fail, he would likely regret it for a long time to come!

Spellcasting—【Scrying】, then the Perception Field was quickly projected out, encompassing the entire device. At the same time, Xia Duo had spare capacity, and at the point of perception, he summoned his Personal Space, overlapping it once more with this area where two planes had already completely overlapped.

The next moment, the planes separated!

The Personal Space under Xia Duo's control did not require meeting various conditions to separate normally like a standard Semi-plane; he only needed a movement of his consciousness to complete the separation work.

After the separation, this Independent Arcane Fire Device, the only one in the world capable of normal operation, naturally landed inside the Personal Space.

There was no gravity in the Personal Space, so Xia Duo did not need to worry about the device being destroyed due to changes in the gravitational environment. However, there was no Magic Net in the Personal Space either; the moment the Personal Space separated from the current plane overlap area, the device's originally intense Magic Aura immediately dimmed.

Of course, as long as the device was taken back out, the Magic Aura would recover.

It was just that this dashed Xia Duo's idea of installing the Independent Arcane Fire Device in his Personal Space to continuously produce Arcane Crystals or serve as a trump card.

Perhaps it would be feasible once the Personal Space transformed into a plane form, but for now, there was no way.

After putting away the Independent Arcane Fire Device, Xia Duo glanced at the shocked Gawani and the other two, then flew over, and without giving them a chance to ask, said:

"Follow me closely, I'll take you out of here first!"

The Magic Net Dead Zone blocked Scrying and monitoring, and to a large extent, it also blocked teleportation. If one did not want to teleport into a rock or some foreign realm from which there was no return, it was best not to teleport.

Xia Duo casually cast a coordinated spell on the three of them with himself; it was weaker than a Mind Link, but stronger than ordinary tacit cooperation, and more importantly, it would transfer directional spells aimed at the three of them onto himself.

And he himself almost always had 【Spell Reversal】 active, or the 【Magic Resistance】 ability derived from his bloodline, so directional spells could basically be ignored.

Walking out from the Laboratory, the elemental leakage became increasingly obvious. Everywhere there were elemental anomalies: wind blowing and fire raging, thunder and lightning, or cold winds blowing and dust flying.

Perhaps Iolum had made some progress in clearing the Dead Zone on his side; the Magic Net environment in the corridor section of this area, which should have been in a dead state before, had now recovered quite a bit.

In that case, Xia Duo would not need to take so many detours to walk the temporary passages that had changed many times due to the repeated relocation of experimental sites and the resetting of normal Magic Net areas.

He could just walk straight out through the corridor outside the Laboratory, just like usual.

It was just that because some Semi-planes had accidents, the space here appeared slightly larger than usual.

On the way out, apart from some random Magic triggered by their passing, Xia Duo did not encounter any special situations.

Halfway there, he even encountered Buluode, "How is it? Is everything alright on the teacher's side?"

"It's alright, the situation has been controlled. By the way, why are you here?" Buluode looked surprised, scanned Gawani and the others, and immediately noticed something wrong, "Where is Luowei?"

"Luowei?"

Xia Duo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Buluode hadn't met Luowei? This was not a good sign. "Not long after you left, Luowei said he was going to help you. Then I relocated the device and was preparing to evacuate with Gawani and the others, and then I ran into you."

"Relocated the device?" Buluode subconsciously felt a trace of doubt, but the most important issue at the moment was not the device, but Luowei. He frowned and said:

"I just came from the teacher's side, preparing to call you to evacuate first. None of us have met Luowei!"

At this moment, Gawani suddenly interjected, "Could Luowei have already gone out?"

He had the best relationship with Buluode, and nominally they were still teacher and student. As for Luowei, their relationship could not be called bad, but one was a Senior Arcanist in the prime of his life, and the other was an ordinary Archmage nearing the end of his life; to say they were very harmonious would be unlikely.
