Chapter 841: Seizing Divine Power, The Arrival of Newcomers

It is just a pity that while joint casting performed through a spellbook can cast spells equivalent to the 8th or even 9th circle, it cannot allow the spellcaster to thereby make contact with the eighth or ninth layer of the Magic Net.

Of course, the true joint casting on the side of the Elves might not be able to do this either; otherwise, wouldn't it be very easy for the Elves to mass-produce veteran Mages capable of casting 9th-circle spells?

Unless it is an individual who casts a 9th-circle spell using Low-Circle Element Expression solely by their own power, they cannot ascend to the heavens in one step and make contact with the ninth layer of the Magic Net.

But this possibility is truly too low; when using Low-Circle Element Expression for high-circle spells, the complexity of the spell increases almost exponentially with every increase in circle rank.

Under normal circumstances, one circle higher is relatively common, but anything higher than that is almost unheard of.

Being able to have Intermediate and Low-Rank Mages participate in the casting process of 8th or even 9th-circle spells through joint casting is already very rare in itself, and hoping for too much more seems somewhat unreasonable.

However, Xia Duo also knows one thing deeply: technology is always constantly advancing, and in the future, there may not necessarily be no technology that allows one to ascend to the heavens in one step.

At the very least, from the game background before he transmigrated, he knew of a type of spell that could allow a mortal to seize the power of a god.

Although that fellow's ending was rather tragic, it also provided a line of thought; furthermore, it is not necessarily required to directly seize the power of the strongest gods, and lowering the target might not necessarily lead to failure.

Additionally, seizing by force is also very problematic.

Xia Duo believes one thing: as long as there is no logical contradiction, it must be achievable; it is merely a matter of the path, but seizing by force is undoubtedly choosing the most difficult one.

Since a mortal can obtain the power of a god through seizing by force, there must be other paths to achieve it; according to Xia Duo's wishes, he is more inclined to achieve it in a relatively peaceful manner.

Unlike operating a virtual character to play a game, where success or failure at most only affects one's mood, now that Xia Duo is in this real world of Magic, failure will tangibly endanger his own life.

A person's life cannot be without adventure, but when there is a choice, it is best to choose a method of handling things with lower risk.

……

Soon, another day of training ended. Mage Tena, who resembled a robot, naturally did not leave any time for questions for Xia Duo and the others; once the time was up, he left directly.

Returning to their residence, Xia Duo and Niya exchanged thoughts for a moment regarding the problems existing in joint casting, then each went to busy themselves with their own affairs.

The next day, which was also the sixth day since Xia Duo arrived at the Green Field Plane, early in the morning, the Portal within the camp began working again, and people kept walking out of the Portal.

"Is this the Sub-plane? It feels exactly the same as the Main Plane!"

"Look at the sky; this sky has not a single trace of impurity, just like a pure blue Gemstone. It is very rare to see this scene in the Main Plane!"

When someone reminded them, others looked up, but people were still continuously walking out of the Portal, and those walking in front soon took the initiative to walk toward the buildings.

And behind them, another batch of newcomers appeared.

"Is this the Green Field Plane? I heard our enemy this time is the Elf?" Someone looked at the surrounding environment, appearing somewhat lost, having come over without even figuring out the mission.

However, mentioning the Elf still attracted many people's attention. Among them, a young Mage with the Nasif Tower's branching river emblem embroidered on his Mage Robe said with a sympathetic face:

"I heard your Jannick Tower was forcibly conscripted this time? You came over without even figuring out who the enemy is; you really are pitiful!"

"Could it really be the Elf?" the Jannick Tower Mage who spoke earlier asked again.

But this time, no one answered him. He waited for a while longer near the Portal, and upon seeing another person from Jannick Tower, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and asked:

"Lord Lao Sen, may I ask if the enemy for this conscription mission is the Elf?"

"Yes, don't you know?" Lao Sen immediately revealed a puzzled expression.

Although this was a forced conscription mission, Jannick Tower had also published the mission content in quite some detail. Furthermore, although it was a mandatory mission, it was not impossible to be exempted; as long as one paid money or points, one could still avoid coming.

So what was the situation now?

"……"

The Mage who had just asked immediately wore a mournful face and could not say a word. However, in his heart, he felt some regret; had he known it was the Elf, he would not have come!

But since he had already accepted the mission and even had part of the mission reward advanced to him, it was already too late to regret it now.

Fortunately, he vaguely remembered that this mission was to be carried out in teams, so he turned his expectant gaze toward Lao Sen, "Lord Lao Sen, may I join your team?"

Lao Sen carefully sized this person up, thought for a moment, and agreed.

……

The work efficiency of a single Portal was very low, but the Seven Towers did not open more Portals; with just this one in the camp, it worked intermittently until dusk fell.

However, in the dusk and even the night of the Green Field Plane, the sky glowed with a thin, faint light; although it could not compare to the daytime, it was brighter than the brightest night in the Main Plane!

When the last batch of Seven Towers Spellcasters walked out of the Portal, the Portal, which had been like a mirror, suddenly dimmed.

A few people whispered to each other about their various impressions of this magical Sub-plane, occasionally mixed with worries about the mission, but following a sharp shout, the superfluous emotions dissipated in an instant:

"Still here? Hurry and find your own residence! Rest well, there is special training tomorrow!"

……

Soon, a night passed, and a new day arrived.

"It is already the seventh day, and I don't know when the mission will actually start!"

Xia Duo certainly did not hope to go to war with the Elf with a group of unfamiliar teammates without having finished training, but this uncertain future also made one feel very unhappy.

After finishing Meditation, Xia Duo prepared breakfast for himself and Niya as usual, but just as he opened the door, he heard bursts of noise, as if he were in a bustling market, which made him frown.

Afterward, he closed the door and told Niya about this. Niya had also just heard the noise outside and was feeling somewhat irritable, so she directly closed the Spellbook she was memorizing and familiarizing herself with and helped Xia Duo with breakfast:

"It looks like the Portal didn't stop all day yesterday. I don't know how many people actually came!"

Xia Duo knew that Niya was somewhat worried about the difficulty of the mission, so he comforted her: "Don't worry about them; those of us who came first have already gained a certain advantage, and this advantage will expand as time passes."

"That's true!"

However, Xia Duo was thinking about another problem, which was that among the eight of them who arrived earliest, the proportion of High Mages accounted for half; perhaps there would be adjustments.

……

Sure enough, before Xia Duo had finished breakfast, he received a Sending from Mage Tena—

"No need to go to the jungle where you trained before today; wait for new arrangements within the camp!"

It was not just Xia Duo; Niya, Beilaila, Aisisi, and even the four Intermediate Mages who came with them all received Tena's notification.
