Chapter 3259: Reconstructing Gravity, A Net Cast to Capture

"Elder Laruian, please warn the residents in the city not to attempt to fly into the sky. I will attempt to reconstruct the gravity around Evereska, but this requires time, and even more so, computing power. Please, treat this with the utmost importance."

Xia Duo personally sent a message to Laruian to explain the current state of Evereska. It was not that he could not restore Evereska to its original state, but that protection was his primary concern.

Just moments ago, he, along with the Alliance Mages and Evereska Mages who had come to help, had jointly cast 【Peak-Severing Spell】 to separate Evereska, along with the sixty or seventy-meter rock base beneath it, from the great plateau.

Then came the teleportation of the Floating City to incorporate the main body of Evereska into the Floating City's field and the protection range of its war spells; during this process, nothing else was considered.

Because just below those sixty or seventy meters of rock was the secret stronghold of the Illuminati!

Of course, now that Evereska had been separated, the Illuminati's stronghold remained on the original plateau.

Xia Duo ordered the Floating City to control it, while he himself used the Computing Power Pool to simultaneously analyze the real-time detection feedback of Evereska's state transmitted by the war spell 【Wide-Area Detection】 from the Floating City.

He had to reconstruct the gravity around Evereska as quickly as possible, even if not for the sake of the people in the city, he had to consider the impact Evereska would receive after approaching Yongle City.

The gravity of Yongle City was not directed upwards or downwards, but was in a state of radial expansion or contraction from the center of the sphere to accommodate the spherical structure of Yongle City. He had no way to redesign a gravity scheme in such a short time.

This also meant that the gravity state of Evereska, including its direction, was completely dominated by the gravity of Yongle City.

Xia Duo felt a bit regretful; if he could have captured them all and then followed the trail, even if he couldn't wipe out the Darkness Society in one fell swoop, he could at least deal the Darkness Society a major blow.

Looking closely, Xia Duo could not help but feel surprised. Relying on those few dozen crash-course high-level mages on Floating Spirit City, they had actually intercepted three high-level mages, as well as almost all the members of the stronghold.

Therefore, Xia Duo let those War Mages, who might have been mere Apprentices or even ordinary people just a few years ago, capture the Darkness Society members without much worry. At this moment, he focused most of his energy on designing a gravity reconstruction scheme for Evereska.

But after the surprise, Xia Duo felt it was only natural. His temporary action this time had come so suddenly, and the scheme he adopted was so outrageous and decisive; if he were a member of the Darkness Society, he would also be bewildered and unable to prepare in time.

And the targets that the Alliance intelligence department had tracked down from Ailan were all among those lackeys, including Aimeidiya, a manager of the Rus Chamber of Commerce who had once purchased Stasis Space services at the Time Tower Void Warehouse Chamber of Commerce and stored a mysterious Excited State Magic Artifact.

It was just a pity that intercepting did not equal capturing. Only one of the three high-level mages was successfully captured, and after Xia Duo reviewed the entire capture process, he felt there was a bit of luck involved, or rather, that the high-level mage had been captured intentionally.

Very quickly, Xia Duo found the 【Wide-Area Detection】 information in the Empty City Network; from the moment it was transmitted from Floating Spirit City to above Evereska until now, the information for the entire process was there.

……

And on the other side, inside Floating Spirit City.

It contained various areas and various dimensions, covering almost everything, but Xia Duo only needed to look at the part about the Illuminati's secret stronghold.

Only then did he have time to check the situation at the Illuminati's secret stronghold. The information running in the Empty City Network was real, non-illusory conscious information; even if missed for a moment, it could still be checked—provided, of course, that the network was not disbanded.

And now, Xia Duo still knew nothing about the identities of the two high-level mages who committed suicide and escaped. Perhaps the guy who escaped would appear openly in front of him later, and he wouldn't even recognize them.

……

After several adjustments, the final scheme was finally produced.

Now the biggest problem remained that Evereska was moving, and the Floating City was also moving, and at the same time, there were two gravity fields influencing each other. Under the condition of needing to ensure the stability within Evereska as much as possible, this had a certain degree of difficulty.

Furthermore, the enemy they were facing this time was only one stronghold of the Darkness Society, not all the members of the Darkness Society.

It was just that in some of the feedback from 【Wide-Area Detection】, there were images of Aimeidiya communicating with other Elves. This guy was not like an ordinary manager, but was deeply involved with the Darkness Society, at least not the lowest level like Poson.

As for the remaining lackeys—

Fortunately, both of these gravity fields were based on the foundation of reconstructing the gravity environment of the Main Plane itself; otherwise, if three gravity fields were influencing each other, the situation would be even more complicated.

"Here, here, and here!"

Unlike now, where everything had to be done manually, even if there was a Computing Power Pool to provide computing power, the initial input still required manual operation, and what to input required even more manual thinking, rather than a computer directly providing the optimal solution.

This was not a task as difficult as ascending to heaven. If Evereska were stationary, Xia Duo wouldn't even need a minute to complete the corresponding scheme.

Immediately following, Xia Duo synchronized the scheme to the War Mages in Floating Spirit City via the Empty City Network, letting them reconstruct the gravity environment near Evereska as soon as possible.

As for the other two, one committed suicide, and in the process of committing suicide (fully releasing Saint Form), they also sent the other one away.

The War Mages responsible for controlling the war spells—Detection, Forbidden Restriction, and Annihilation—were communicating closely via the Mind Link of the Empty City Network, "Fast, fast, fast, focus the Detection Field, coordinates *********!"

Although the War Mages on Yongle City were still nearly half the number short of a full complement, even with a one-fifth standard of a full complement, it was enough to deal with a local war.

Even if all the members of the Darkness Society were truly in the secret stronghold below, facing Floating Spirit City, they could only sigh at the city!

Although there was no lack of Elites and veteran mages among them, Xia Duo still contemptuously referred to them as lackeys. Compared to high-level mages, these lackeys probably knew very little!

"You say it lightly, the President wants us to capture the enemies below alive as much as possible. If you wipe them out, what will you use to answer to the President? Hmm, the direction of the Annihilation Ray is wrong, protection lifted!"

"Calculating the field focus for the ray takes time. The calculation time of the Computing Power Pool can be ignored, but it takes time for us to provide the calculation process, about 7 seconds, 6 seconds—I say why not just wipe them out—3 seconds..."

"Space separation is complete!"

"Understood, arranging it immediately! Additionally, coordinate ***^*** has a magic protection. I need a beam of Annihilation Ray to shoot in from that angle. The coordinates have already been passed to you!"

He had been slightly distracted, but it didn't have much of an impact. Xia Duo was currently using the Computing Power Pool to calculate and verify the gravity reconstruction scheme he had designed.

Every time it came to this point, Xia Duo began to fantasize about the benefits of a Magic Computer. If there were a Magic Computer, it would mean that the corresponding materials had also been developed to that point, and then, in fact, the automation and intelligence of the various functions of Floating Spirit City could be realized.

Therefore, designing a gravity reconstruction scheme for Evereska was Xia Duo's primary task right now.
