Chapter 395: Chapter 215: The Essence of the Annihilation Bomb (6k)_2

Indeed, it was a completely unfamiliar alloy casting technique above, and there was also a brand new rune array.

This immediately resolved the two major problems that had been troubling their research on this power—lacking a method to carry it and the corresponding runes for further derivation.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t only have an Annihilation Bomb to show for their research until now.

However, when Blood Night later described her experience using this energy, Bai Yi, who was supposed to be an observer, suddenly had an idea.

If Blood Night’s use of this energy is based on skills, then could she still use it now that she’s in a different body?

The question was quite simple to verify, but the result was not as Bai Yi had hoped.

When she tried to forcefully use it, she did succeed.

However, the energy immediately went out of control upon manifesting, and her body became the first target of annihilation.

Thankfully, it was only a small amount of newly transformed magic power, so the damage wasn’t severe.

Bai Yi could understand this result, as she had mentioned that when she first obtained this energy, she had damaged quite a bit of her equipment.

It was clear that this energy, without extraordinary adaptability, could not possibly be mastered by regular life forms.

And now, her new body was essentially just like a piece of her former equipment, so causing damage was to be expected.

Nonetheless, both she and Bai Fa, as well as the other witches, realized that this at least proved that this energy could be mastered, unlike those "artificial Superpower Users" at home.

All were based on effects achieved through game or Paradise-like coercion.

As it stands, making ordinary life forms capable of using this chaotic energy still has a long way to go.

In the short term, utilizing the knowledge gained from the forging method of the long blade to recreate it through arrays and other means is the best way to use this energy.

Apart from this knowledge, probably the biggest gain this time is understanding the nature of this energy.

Initially, with modern scientific knowledge as a foundation, although it promoted the research, it also invisibly created some interference.

Bai Fa and others initially thought this energy should be akin to antimatter, forming annihilation reactions when combined with material and even magic power, leading to its various manifestations.

But now it seems, this energy is somewhat more advanced; it directly causes magic power disruption, leading to the disassociation of the magic power constituting matter.

Eventually, after everything turns into magic power, the high concentration of magic power directly results in a magic power explosion.

This process gave Bai Fa and others an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Upon careful reflection, they suddenly realized that this was exactly the opposite principle of their other research on Creation Runes with altars!

One turns matter into magic power, the other turns magic power into matter!

Bai Fa and her cohorts came quickly and left quickly.

Once they had acquired the knowledge they wanted, they left without a trace of reluctance, eager to return to their temporary labs to begin research.

The passion with which they gathered earlier matched the speed at which they left.

Bai Yi could only shake her head helplessly at this and then arrange for these Contractors’ next tasks.

——Even though they had just completed their transformation, Bai Yi wouldn’t let them idle, at least not during regular working hours.

Bai Yi wasn’t being a devil, their tasks were not complicated, leaving some to fulfill her experimental needs at any time and to respond to any questions that Bai Fa and others might have.

The remaining ones mainly provided support to the Insect Swarm and strategized ways to eliminate other Contractors.

After all, the best understanding of Contractors comes from the Contractors themselves.

Time passed pleasantly for Bai Yi, but for the empire, time was arduous.

Time ticked by, and an inexplicable atmosphere engulfed the entire defense line from top to bottom.

Even during dinner time, no one spoke; even the sound of clattering bowls and chopsticks was nearly absent.

The camp was silent, suffocatingly oppressive.

Even the lower-ranked soldiers noticed, becoming aware that the upcoming battle might be exceedingly challenging.

However, they strictly adhered to military regulations and did not discuss it with their comrades.

But the signs were already there, and if this continues, they might collapse under the pressure even before the Insect Swarm’s attack.

The Charm Contracter understood this situation too; over the progress in many worlds, he had leveraged his own abilities, aided by many local forces.

Though he hadn’t commanded an army, he could discern the current state.

He knew the atmosphere within the army was not right.

But there wasn’t much he could do to change it for now, as the pressure from the outside Insect Swarm was very real.

Even he, at times, wondered how the Insect Swarm resisted launching an attack on them.

Given the current display of power, the Insect Swarm should have ample advantage to strike, yet they held back, staying just outside attack range, intensifying the pressure.

The most infuriating part was that there was nothing he could do about it.

Fortunately, as long as they waited for nightfall, they could take advantage of the darkness for a raid.

Although night raids might seem old-fashioned, the fact that it persists to this day proves its practicality.
