Chapter 3215: On-Site Investigation, Contradictory Phenomena

Generally speaking, even the most powerful spells belong to the microscopic level, and their alterations to the Magic Net Strings are not permanent; the Magic Net can be seen as a river, while microscopic-level spells are composed of individual water molecules.

After a spell ends, the artificially distorted Magic Net Strings will return to their original state within the Magic Net, just as water molecules merge back into a river, like a vast, surging, and never-ending river.

A Mythallar, established on the macroscopic level of the Magic Net, is like solid ice floating and sinking in the river water, its volume already large enough to maintain its own existence.

Yet right now, regarding this series of attacks occurring within the territory of Ailan, one of which Xia Duo witnessed the entire process of through the perspective of the "meat puppet" Poson, it was not some high-level Mage temporarily creating a Mythallar and then destroying it, but rather some powerful Magic Artifact established on the microscopic level of the Magic Net.

Microscopic does not mean weak; just like a Mythallar, it is also a Magic Artifact established on the microscopic level; microscopic and macroscopic are merely distinguished from the perspective of how a Spellcaster utilizes the Magic Net.

However, logically speaking, microscopic-level spells should not lead to Magic Net riot phenomena similar to a Mythallar; a Mythallar is solid ice in water, insoluble in water, and once it collapses, the result is inevitably very intense.

But for microscopic-level spells, once completed, it is like water dissolving into water; the Magic Net Strings involved become exactly the same as other Magic Net Strings.

Depending on the Spell Circle, the time required for this process varies, but according to past experience, in such situations, generally only a bit of residual spiritual light would be left, rather than the rioting Magic Net like now.

Xia Duo is very puzzled by this; not just him, but Feilifa and the Yierlan investigators he brought, in addition to being shocked, also feel very confused.

The Alliance Observation Group goes without saying; among these Mages, there are only two or three high-level Mages, and the rest are just veteran or Elite Mages, and there is even Ambassador Irusk, this Muggle.

"Consultant Xia Duo, what kind of spell do you think caused this situation?" Feilifa discussed it with the subordinates he brought for a while, then sought an opinion from Xia Duo.

Regarding this, Xia Duo could only shake his head helplessly, "It is hard to imagine what kind of spell could cause such an effect; could it be that every attack requires consuming a high-level Mage?"

"This is impossible; the high-level Mages of the Northland are numbered, and the whereabouts of each one are almost traceable; even the Illuminati could not mobilize seven high-level Mages at once without being suspected afterward."

Feilifa directly denied Xia Duo's speculation, which in fact also denied that the realization method of these few attack incidents was through constructing temporary Mythallars.

But this is problematic!

From the perspective of intelligence, not a single high-level Mage in the Northland is missing; this can rule out high-level Mages committing the crimes, because if high-level Mages wanted to do such a thing in a short time, they would inevitably need to liberate their Saint Form to the maximum extent, or even achieve this purpose by sacrificing themselves.

And this is very difficult to hide afterward.

But judging from the current development state of Arcane Magic in the Northland, theoretically, no Mage can deduce microscopic spells to such a degree; this exceeds the imagination of Northland Arcane Mages.

Of course, there is another explanation, which is also a possibility that Xia Duo deliberately avoided—that is, Equation Spells; this kind of spell starts from the microscopic, but at the same time can also cause an impact on the macroscopic structure of the Magic Net.

Compared with a Mythallar, it seems there is a feeling of reaching the same destination by different routes.

But the derivation of Equation Spells involves too many factors, and Xia Duo does not believe that anyone in the Main Plane of the current era besides him can derive Equation Spells.

Taking a step back, even if the Illuminati really obtained the Ailan heritage from an alternate Time Line and mastered some Equation Spell, there is still one inexplicable point, and that is—

That extremely powerful Magic Scepter that Yisiluoda gave to Poson!

Although using Poson's perspective did not allow him to identify the core function of the Scepter, he could at least judge that it should be a conventional Magic Artifact, rather than a special Magic Artifact with an Equation Spell solidified within it.

Xia Duo believes that because Equation Spells exhaust all possibilities of a certain Domain, ordinary materials are inevitably unable to serve as carriers for Equation Spells; he has already done many experiments on this point.

He speculates that perhaps only by using the true Magic Net as a material can it carry an Equation Spell, and the Magic Scepter that Yisiluoda previously gave to Poson could even less likely have been crafted using the Magic Net as a material!

In short, this matter is full of doubts; even if the Illuminati chose to attack the factory he and Yierlan cooperated to build, the actual situation might not be as he previously guessed, that the Illuminati noticed the factory affecting their Time-Involving Ritual.

Currently, because Xia Duo's understanding of the Illuminati is really not much, many of his current judgments are actually based on speculation; some reasons look very tenable, but in fact, they may not necessarily be the reality.

What he finds even more incomprehensible is not why the Illuminati wanted to attack these seven factories and by what means they attacked, but since the Illuminati have such means, why didn't they use them before?

Or rather, it might have been even more useful to use this kind of means on the Alliance Headquarters in Evereska, so why not use it?

They are all prepared to subvert the Time Line, yet they are still worried about accidentally hurting the innocent? If that were really the case, then were there no innocent people inside the Magic Artifact Factory built for the development of Ailan this time?

……

Although he cannot understand the attack method, it does not hinder Xia Duo, Feilifa, and even the Alliance Observation Group from recording the Magic Net environmental characteristics at the scene after the attack.

And during the recording process, Xia Duo discovered two phenomena worth mentioning, which seem to overturn his previous judgment.

The first is that the Magic Net vibrations existing at the edge of the deep pit left after the factory was destroyed were not completely chaotic, but existed with a certain regularity.

This deviates somewhat from his previous preliminary judgment—the conclusion of "Magic Net riot similar to when a Mythallar collapses."

The Magic Net riot when a Mythallar collapses is irregular; even if its source is limited, after repeated vibrations and mutual influence, the final state of the Magic Net is already unrecognizable and difficult to Huanyuan!

Even with the original Mythallar blueprint, it is very difficult to Huanyuan this turbulent process.

Or rather, given a Mythallar blueprint, it is fundamentally impossible to judge the state of the Mythallar after its collapse, even if the initial collapse Node is given.

As long as the collapse begins, the subsequent process is almost impossible to predict; this is somewhat similar to the chaotic pendulum on Earth, where the initial conditions are exactly the same, but there are a large number of variables in the process, which leads to the subsequent results being completely unpredictable.

This is the characteristic of a Mythallar collapse.

But right now, at the edge of the deep pit left after the factory was destroyed, there actually existed some regular vibrations that cycled back and forth within a certain period; initially, they were hidden under the background of the Magic Net riot, which is why Xia Duo did not discover them immediately.

It was during the subsequent recording process that this phenomenon was discovered.
