Chapter 3137: Gith Silver Sword

In fact, even for the most peaceful Psionic Mage, after staying in an environment like Zhamu Dasi for a long time, they would likewise be assimilated into a war maniac.

The key point of contention between the Anti School and the Zeqi School lies in whether psionics are superior to the rules of reality, rather than whether to launch external conquests; on the matter of external conquest, the views of the two major schools are consistent.

Once Zhamu Dasi becomes powerful, it is indeed possible for them to commit acts of enslaving the entire Main Plane. If the local Psionic Mages are already like this, then what kind of choices would foreign Psionic Mages make?

There is no need for Pulitatisi to over-exaggerate the threat theory of Psionic Mages; all the councilors who have some understanding of Zhamu Dasi on the Main Plane can imagine that kind of scene.

Xia Duo and Kelifu, having personally experienced an unprovoked attack by an Astral Plane hunter, are even more in agreement with such a conclusion.

……

"It is unrealistic to directly exterminate Psionic Mages, and a Cross-Domain Teleportation Link cannot be built overnight. Your Excellency Pulitatisi, do you have any other suggestions?"

"The only other suggestion is the path of constantly strengthening oneself. As long as you are powerful enough, even if the Astral Plane conquerors arrive, you will be able to drive them away, or even strike at their home base."

"Then are there any targeted protective measures against psionics?"

"A mental Amulet is essential. In addition, powerful Excited State Energy can also cause interference with Psionic Magic. In this regard, Netheril has actually taken a step ahead of other countries; that is the Mythallar. Based on my understanding of Psionic Magic, I am afraid that most Psionic Techniques cannot function normally near a Mythallar."

"Anything else?"

"There is also the fact that an avatar is ineffective, and one might even fall into greater danger due to insufficient protective measures for the avatar. Of course, if you can arm the avatar to exceed the main body, that is another matter."

Generally speaking, avatars are created to act on behalf of the main body when it is inconvenient for the main body to move. The biggest advantage of an avatar is that even if it dies, it does not affect the main body.

However, most Psionic Magic strikes directly at the mind, and conventional Protective Spells cannot provide effective protection. Moreover, because consciousness is singular, attacking the avatar is equivalent to attacking the main body.

Of course, a Projection and an avatar are different. A Projection only projects perception and simulates one's own image; the actual image is not necessary, it is just for the convenience of others to see, which is closer to the concept of a Scrying Spell.

In this situation, what one needs to guard against is not a mental attack, but being tracked in reverse.

Although a Projection will not be subjected to mental attacks, a Projection also has drawbacks, which is that it is easier to be blocked, and it is more difficult for a Spellcaster to cast spells through a Projection, unlike an avatar, which can almost compare to the main body (the cost is also higher than a Projection).

There are even some special avatars whose spellcasting ability is stronger than the main body, such as Xia Duo's Saint Form Avatar. When to use a Projection and when to use an avatar, most Spellcasters have their own judgment.

At today's venue, there were several councilors who used Projections to participate because they could not leave temporarily. When they heard Pulitatisi mention the drawbacks of avatars, the images of those people fluctuated suddenly, which shows how uneasy those people were inside.

But those present today were, after all, senior Magic researchers, and they could still quickly figure out the difference between a Projection and an avatar, so it would not reach the point of a temporary adjournment to let them increase their protection.

……

"Is there anyone else who wants to ask Pulitatisi?"

Badijiaer's gaze swept around the venue, "If not, then we will begin today's formal agenda."

"Wait, I have one more question I would like to ask Your Excellency Pulitatisi."

Seeing that Kelifu had no intention of coming forward, Xia Duo had to stand up himself. However, he could also understand Kelifu; having died in the Astral Plane and failed to obtain any spoils of war, asking now would not have much persuasiveness.

"Your Excellency Xia Duo, what is your question?"

Pulitatisi looked at Xia Duo, his gaze revealing a hint of curiosity. Just now, many councilors had asked questions, almost exhausting all questions involving the Astral Plane conquerors. At that time, Xia Duo did not ask, so what would the question be now?

"My question is very simple."

As he spoke, Xia Duo took out a greatsword from his Personal Space that looked as if it were forged from pure silver. The blade part looked more like flowing liquid, appearing iridescent in the brightly lit conference hall.

"This—"

Pulitatisi could not help but be shocked. Originally, he only thought that Xia Duo might ask about some details regarding psionics, or the Computing Power Pool protection issue that had been making a lot of noise recently.

But he never expected that Xia Duo would actually take out such a thing. After being stunned for a full few seconds, he did not even have time to distinguish whether it was real or fake, and shouted almost ungracefully:

"Quick! Put it away quickly! Do not place it in normal space!"

Seeing Pulitatisi's nervous demeanor, Xia Duo's heart was also shaken, realizing that he might have been a bit rash, so he hurriedly put away the Silver Sword.

"Your Excellency Pulitatisi, do you recognize this weapon? Have you dealt with the holder of this kind of weapon? Why is it not even allowed to be taken out?"

Xia Duo's successive questions brought Pulitatisi's mind back to the venue. Seeing that Xia Duo had already put away that weapon, he breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at the other councilors who were still looking blankly at this, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly:

"I don't know where Your Excellency Xia Duo obtained that Silver Sword, but if it is really as I think, then I must say you are in big trouble, and not just you, the entire Main Plane is in trouble too!"

"Please, Your Excellency Pulitatisi, explain in detail." At this time, there was no need for Xia Duo to come forward; Badijiaer asked Pulitatisi on behalf of Xia Duo and the other councilors.

Because he had seen the sword that Xia Duo had just displayed. Although some time had passed, because the incident involved was too significant, his impression was very deep.

"Alright, then I will explain it to you properly."

Even the Silver Sword had been seen, and looking at Badijiaer's attitude, it seemed that the Silver Sword was not a replica, and with the knowledge of this plane, it was probably impossible to make a replica.

Pulitatisi actually regretted coming to this plane at this moment. He had never seen any plane as troublesome as this one. He was just an explorer, not a legion leader, so why should he be able to solve these troubles!

"That sword is the weapon used by the Astral Plane conquerors I mentioned!" Pulitatisi calmly stated an uncalm answer, and then further explained—

"The Astral Plane conquerors are not a single race, but all the intelligent beings you can find in the Astral Plane count, and the race of the user of that Silver Sword is the best among them.

"I don't know where you obtained that Silver Sword, but I must say you are really in big trouble. That race calls themselves the Gith, and the Silver Sword is the weapon used by their most elite conquering legions.

"If it were just that, it would be fine; it is just a weapon, not some uncopyable Artifact.

"The key is that when the Gith join the conquering legions, they take an oath never to let the Silver Sword fall into the hands of non-Gith, and they will spare no cost to retrieve those Silver Swords in the hands of non-Gith."
