Chapter 2496: Dimensional Strike
If it were not an emergency, Xia Duo could naturally take his time; even if he couldn't completely eliminate the commotion of the giant object's teleportation, at least it wouldn't be as exaggerated as it is now.
But the situation is urgent, so he cannot worry about that anymore. Many people want to know the mobility limit of the Floating City, this war spell platform, and now they know—
【A novel app with stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, a source-switching app used by all old bookworms,】
Very soon, very fast, fast enough that as long as relevant contingency plans were made in advance, one could arrive instantly!
Once the Floating City arrived, it was almost covered by overwhelming 【Wide-Area Detection】. At the same time, the detection results were rapidly synchronized to Xia Duo's main body through the analysis and summary of the intelligent brain.
"Everything is according to plan!"
Xia Duo felt confident inside, but on the surface, he still maintained sufficient tension and seriousness, and the arrival of the Floating City also brought great pressure to that Elf assassin.
Situated within the Time Barrier, Xia Duo could almost see the limit of the changes in the Elven Mythallar on the north side of the Arcane Plaza, bit by bit, with elements as units.
The long-awaited Floating City's attack on the Mythallar unfolded!
The advantage of the Floating City lies in "brute force" at the microscopic Magic Net level, while the advantage of the Mythallar lies in "guidance and transformation" at the macroscopic Magic Net level.
Theoretically, if one only uses conventional spells to confront the Mythallar head-on, there is almost no possibility of victory, because the two sides are simply not on the same dimension.
It is not that the Mythallar will definitely win, but that it will not lose, because the Mythallar's attacks against individual Spellcasters must ultimately be implemented into individual spells at the microscopic level. As long as there is enough "brute force" at the microscopic level, all of the Mythallar's attacks can be ignored.
Just like what Xia Duo is doing now, having the Floating City take over control, the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 with almost infinite energy support has improved by more than one level compared to his previous manual spellcasting.
On the Arcane Plaza side, especially the space around the Elf assassin, it was extended to the limit, which brought about the sparsity of the Magic Net Strings within this range.
In layman's terms, the maximum speed at which a Spellcaster can obtain energy from the Magic Net has been reduced. In this situation, although some high-power spells still have the basis for casting, if they cannot provide energy themselves, then there is only failure.
This is a method of attacking the Mythallar that Xia Duo thought of when he was in the Red Heart Alliance's Projection Plane—isolating the Mythallar, making it an isolated island in the tide of the Magic Net.
Once its power to absorb energy is limited, it is like the input power of an electrical appliance on Earth being insufficient. Not being able to use it is secondary; if the appliance itself is damaged because of this, even if the power input is restored later, it will be of no avail.
Such an attack method is specifically aimed at permanent magic on the macroscopic structure of the Magic Net like the Mythallar. The principle is that it cannot completely control the microscopic Magic Net Strings corresponding to this part of the macroscopic structure.
The same attack method cannot be used to counter an Arcane Crystal, because the Arcane Crystal itself can be regarded as the Condensation of microscopic Magic Net Strings. As long as its own structure is not destroyed, no matter how sparse the Magic Net Strings in the external Magic Net environment are, it will not affect its normal energy absorption power.
By the same token, this attack method of expanding space to dilute the Magic Net Strings will not have much effect on Spellcasters at the microscopic level, because there are simply too many Magic Net Strings.
The Magic Net is like a tide, and the Magic Net Strings can be seen as individual water molecules in the tide, countless in number, while the Magic Net Strings needed by a Spellcaster at the microscopic level are very few.
Only something like a Mythallar, which needs a large number of microscopic Magic Net Strings to maintain its macroscopic structure, makes it possible for even a slight change in the density of the microscopic Magic Net Strings to affect its macroscopic structure.
To use an analogy, it is as if a Spellcaster at the microscopic level is throwing stones from building materials at people, while the Mythallar is like a completed building. Diluting the Magic Net Strings is like removing some of the building materials from it.
In this way, even if the surface of the building can still maintain a normal state, the interior is no longer complete. If you don't touch it, you might be able to repair it slowly, but once it starts moving, it is much easier to collapse than a normal building.
And if the Mythallar wants to resolve such an attack, it is not without ways. One is to incorporate some microscopic components that can automatically absorb Magic Net energy into the Mythallar, but the energy absorption power needs to be high enough, at least enough to maintain the basic functions of the Mythallar.
Xia Duo has almost never heard of any achievements in this regard for such microscopic Mythallar components used to absorb energy. Only on the Red Heart Alliance side did they develop the Mythallar Arcane Fire Component, which serves as a backup to an independent Arcane Crystal.
The second way, of course, is to store enough energy in advance. The nodes of an Elven Mythallar often have the function of an energy pool.
Besides energy pools, storing enough Energy Gemstones is also an option, and Arcane Crystals are a very high-quality backup Energy Gemstone.
……
Right now, on the Arcane Plaza, that Elf assassin certainly does not possess something as unconventional as a Mythallar Arcane Fire Component. It is merely a temporarily constructed Mythallar, and even if the design is quite ingenious, once it encounters a dimensional strike, how much energy can it have left to support itself!
Xia Duo did not attack further, but called out to the other side:
"Surrender, I will not kill you, I will only send you to the Northland Alliance and let the representatives of the various countries of the Northland Alliance decide your fate together, to see if they agree with Yierlan's unreasonable arrogance!"
Just as Yanzu would not surrender because there are many Jackie Chans outside, this Elf assassin also did not choose to surrender because of his unfavorable situation.
"Do you think you have won? The glory of Yierlan cannot be tarnished, and the will of Taiweimansa must be realized!"
Subsequently, the Elf once again elevated his Saint Form. Xia Duo felt a shock in his heart; such unscrupulous and wanton elevation, needless to say, was to completely merge into the Mythallar and then use the "wish-fulfillment" limit of that state in the Magic Net to turn the tables.
Although he himself would not survive, as long as the mission was completed, what did his own life count for?
Just as he said himself—"The will of Taiweimansa must be realized." Aren't the petitioners of a country just like this!
But the next moment, an expected voice intervened, "Elf, I don't want to know about your feud with Lord Xia Duo, but I cannot ignore the misuse of Yierlan's name. No matter who is behind you, you must be held responsible for your current behavior!"
The owner of the new voice was Yinfuyalisi, the Ambassador of Yierlan to Netheril. As early as the moment Xia Duo summoned the Floating City to descend, the overwhelming Wide-Area Detection had discovered the other party.
He was lurking right in the Seventon Council!
Apparently, before Xia Duo was attacked, Yinfuyalisi must have been nearby as well. Seeing that the assassin was about to completely ascend, he could no longer hold back.
It would be fine if this assassin were captured alive; the truth could always be found out. But once he died, and died in a way where he completely merged into the Mythallar and his soul dissipated, the truth would be hard to uncover, and the only one left to take the blame would be Yierlan. This was something Yinfuyalisi could not accept.
Who on earth had such a grand scale to use the life of a high-level Mage to frame Yierlan?
