"These ashes are actually in contact with the objects of the Nether Gate, so can we guess that after the object comes into contact with the Nether Gate, the energy inside is released, so that only these ashes are left in itself?"

Lord Alberton asked, just as the firewood had burned out and only the ashes remained, and his metal detector had been destroyed in an instant, leaving only the powdery ashes.

But how does that explain the data that was received earlier? If the detector was damaged when it came into contact with the Nether Gate, it would not have been possible to get the previous data about the Nether, right? ”

Field objected, and the ghostly data was suspicious, denying the option of the detector being corrupted.

"The data isn't stored on the device, it's just on the display."

Lord Alberton said that according to the subsequent examination, there was indeed no trace of reading and writing, and that the data was only recorded by Reiner's record crystal, and there was no other trace of any existence.

Naturally, the mages believed that Reiner was not hallucinating or falsifying the data, but no one could tell whether the data was coming from the detector returning from the Nether Gate, or if it was just some kind of information transmitted to the display.

In fact, Lord Alberton has always had a suspicion that there may be some autonomous beings within the Nether Gate that have identified the operation of the detector and forged false information in an attempt to lure the mages into this trap.

It's a bit of a whimsical idea, but it's also one of the possibilities.

It's just that Lord Alberton doesn't care if there really is such a being who is laying these traps, as a legendary mage, he has the power to stand at the top of this world, and he is not afraid of such an enemy at all.

Rather, if there really were any attempts to deceive the mages in such a way, it would prove that they were not strong enough to use intrigue and trickery, and the legendary mages should not care.

"What we can see so far is that the Nether Gate destroys anything that comes near it, turning it to ashes while releasing a huge amount of energy, which seems to be extremely efficient, far beyond the normal burning process."

Lord Alberton thought with his chin in his hands.

"In this way, this so-called Nether Gate is not a passage to another world, as described, but more like some kind of extremely dangerous weapon."

According to current experiments, when an object comes into contact with the Nether Gate, it will stimulate the energy contained in it, and when it is destroyed, it will release extremely strong light radiation, which is high enough to cause a certain amount of damage.

Imagine if you threw this object into a densely populated area, it would cause radiation and cause widespread damage.

"Could it be that this thing is actually a relic from the last era, and it was used as a weapon at that time, but the people of the god generation were ignorant and used it as a gateway to another world?"

Field speculated that this was not uncommon, and that there had been cases of cursed objects of the ancient Magic Empire being excavated from the grave by tomb robbers, but being treated as treasures and resulting in death, but it was only a relic from the previous era, and this was the first time it had been discovered.

"There's a possibility."

Lord Braggs said, looking at the test data again, trying to find any clues from it.

"Wait a minute."

As if thinking of something, Reiner manipulated the lever and shot a dazzling light from the detector.

The light is not of the divergent type, but is concentrated like a thin line of lasers.

Reiner made the light move closer and closer to the Netherworld's Gate, and just as the beam was about to hit the twisted edge, something surprising happened.

I saw that the originally straight beam of light was slightly bent.

"What is this?"

Lord Alberton raised an eyebrow, he confirmed the path of the light, and in his field of vision, the beam was emitted from the detector, but it was clearly slightly deflected as it passed through the distortion of the Nether Gate, creating a very small deflection angle.

It may be difficult to tell with the naked eye, but the high-level mages can quickly detect the abnormality.

"Is it because there is some kind of medium here that changes the path of light?"

Field asked, things had gone beyond his expectations, as he had known that light could only go straight and straight, and even if it could change its path through reflection and refraction, it would not produce an arc like this.

"Could it be that there is a special layer of substance around the Nethergate that can reflect light, so that the light is continuously reflected to cause such a phenomenon?"

Lord Alberton said, manipulating another probe to shoot a laser shot at the Nether Gate, slowly approaching it.

It didn't take long for Lord Alberton to find out what the problem was.

If there is a special substance around the Nether Gate that can refract light, then the light should only bend in this substance, and away from the Nether Gate, there will be no deflection in any way.

But Lord Alberton clearly observed that as he approached the edge of the Netherdoor, the light did not bend to the same degree!

He tested it a few times, and found that the closer he got to the Nether Gate, the more the light bends, and vice versa, the smaller the bend, inversely proportional to the distance of the light from the Nether Gate!

In the past, Lord Alberton would have been puzzled and puzzled, but after learning that light has wave-particle duality and that light can also be regarded as a particle, Lord Alberton made a hypothesis.

"Could it be that the light is attracted by the gravitational pull in this Netherworld's Gate that it bends?"

His words surprised the others slightly, because it is well known that light travels in a straight line no matter what the circumstances, and if gravity can affect the direction of light propagation, then when it is in the main plane, the light will inevitably be affected, and the path of movement will be bent to a certain extent.

And in the eyes of the aborigines of this world, this bending is extremely normal, and the straight light in the eyes of the mages is actually bent!

This means that the current theories of motion, the mathematical foundations, of the mages are based on the gravitational constants of the principal plane, and if the gravitational constants are different in another place, these theories will also be useless!

This is a speculation that subverts existing knowledge even more than the incomprehensible quantum theory!
