Capítulo 1658: Chapter 314: Terra Grand Stage—If You’re Crazy Enough, Come On
[… You’d better not be the first]
Kerraith watched Mahdi, who had volunteered for a long time, and finally sighed and said: [Your spirit energy hasn’t reached its limit…]
This sentence was imprinted directly into Ian’s mind by Kerraith’s spirit energy, while in the Subspace Hall, his words were rather sharp: [Mr. Mahdi, you are not a natural Spirit Energy User at all, but an acquired Life Spirit Energy holder, you are not very suitable as the first test subject]
This remark elicited a burst of good-natured laughter, but no one dared to truly mock Mahdi. After all, he was the founder of the Arcane Pathway, even if everyone guessed that the main researcher might still be his junior, the Silver Peak Earl, but he was certainly a main researcher as well.
However, with his spirit energy, he indeed was unsuitable to be the first.
As for outside attacks? Who cares.
Faced with the two Arcane Pathways, almost none of the researchers present had the mind to worry about that—at this point, did they still not know that they are surely caught up in the City of Knowledge’s route struggle?
Yet their gains, the harvest of this Arcane and Eternal Pathway, are enough to drive people mad!
Let alone the Guardians of the Grand Library and the Chief Scholar… it’s hard to say who will win or lose.
“Tsk.”
After being rejected, Ian lowered his hand with a click of the tongue, and it seemed that Kerraith had no intention of letting him participate in the experiment.
Moreover, judging by this attitude, Kerraith seemed completely unwilling for him to use the Silver Sky Gateway.
This doesn’t make sense. According to his previous calculations with Yisen Gard, the reason Kerraith invited himself and Yisen over was to allow them to use the Silver Sky Gateway!
Even if it has nothing to do with the Eternal Pathway, a Prophet and a possible heir of Inega II could certainly see a lot of interesting things.
But Kerraith showed no such inclination… thereby opening up another possibility.
(Could it be… he’s truly conducting experiments and publishing the pathway simultaneously?)
Ian furrowed his brows slightly, then looked down and said to Yisen Gard: (Kerraith might be pushed into a corner, and has no choice but to bring out a semi-finished product)
(Get ready, we’re prepared to leave at any time)
He smelled a whiff of… no, an extremely disturbing aura!
Meanwhile.
Reality, the City of Knowledge.
The area around the Inquisitive Spire is full of dense subspace rifts and a large amount of black mist like smoke.
These mists intersected with the silvery-white particles, the area where they collided sparking a great deal of spirit energy lightning, the result of a battle between two powerful spirit energy users.
Silver mech armor hovered in mid-air, the crimson linear observation port dazzling with light.
The Guardian overlooked the Inquisitive Spire in silence. Although confident in forcing a breakthrough, it might cause unintended injuries.
In the hall were emissaries from various countries, led by Fourth Energy Level individuals, and even some with the sensitive status of Crown Princes, as well as many master-level researchers of extraordinary spirit energy capability. If such a group of people perished by his hand, the City of Knowledge would certainly fall into a passive position, unable to remain as secluded as in the past.
However, allowing Kerraith to continue unimpeded was impossible.
Because, no one understood better than He did.
[Your pathway is nowhere near complete…]
The Guardian muttered: [You’ve merely found a possibility, yet to determine how to execute it, requiring conjectures, even filling it with human lives]
[All the Spirit Energy Users in the hall are your ‘materials’ for paving the way!]
[I’ve experimented on myself]
In response to the Guardian’s accusation, a calm voice emerged from the Inquisitive Spire, with several phantasms of Kerraith appearing around the spire: [I’ve split my soul, sending it to the other end of space-time… although they all distorted into phantasms only I could see, with their aid, my research made great strides]
[There will always be those willing to journey with me, why do you insist on stopping?]
Surrounding the spire, several indistinct phantasms floated in the air, with dust forming shadows, subtly coalescing into reality. The Fifth Energy Level Bloodline “Shadow of Mimicry” revealed its essence.
The Shadow of Mimicry is an ethereal creature residing in the Domain of Void and Spirit Energy Field, capable of absorbing human memories and desires, transforming into identical figures from memories to fight— as the Shadow of Mimicry’s strength grows, so does the number of desire phantasms it can generate, representing a bloodline with no shortcomings, truly growing stronger with challengers.
Faced with the Guardian’s mech armor standing like an iron tower in the air, the Shadow of Mimicry began rapidly changing, with countless black mists swirling and converging, and once the mist dissipated, a gigantic iron abomination appeared in the air.
This was a creature woven from metal and flesh and blood, blending viciousness with majesty. Tightly knit armor plates and iron bones interlaced to mend its shattered body of flesh and blood, with a massive Aether Engine embedded in its back, spinning rapidly, releasing blinding heat and waves, while also emitting surging warmth.
The elderly man’s limbs were somewhat atrophied, yet the crystalline supporting structures allowed him to continue functioning with this broken, decaying form.
Vaguely visible, this humanoid figure bore a similarity to the ‘Grand Master,’ the most excellent Grand Scholar in the City of Knowledge’s history, and should knowledgeable Spire Masters privy to the city’s secret history be present, they would be astonished to recognize this as the Grand Master’s self-revised visage at his life’s end!
