Chapter 69: The Neutralization of Science

"I was on my way to the Holy See when I suddenly encountered a new kind of monster."

On the way, Nora tried to talk to her companions and said:

"The bodies of these monsters are similar to those of psionic polluters, but they can be nimble in the air, so they are very difficult to hit by abilities."

"I saw them use the vines sticking out of their bodies to impalle and pollute the transcendents around them, and I grabbed them in the direction of the city center."

"Didn't they try to attack you?" Asker asked.

"Yes." Nora nodded, "But I summoned the spirits around me to entangle them. ”

The scene froze for a moment, and the surrounding Templars came to help. Then the Spiritual Tree suddenly grew in the center of the city, and the monsters immediately flew back. The mutation soon spread, and the Templars were corrupted by the mutation, turning into a strange state. ”

When the group reached the next block, they followed Nola's direction and saw several Templars standing in the middle of the street, some kneeling or prostrate on the ground, also translucent, muttering syllables of unknown meaning.

"That's it." Nora said helplessly, "I tried to check on them. ”

"They are in good physical condition, but the spirits seem to be distorted, and the mental bodies are completely gone."

"The reason is simple." Medea explained, "They must have entered the spirit realm. ”

"The spirit world?" Nora was puzzled.

"It's a high-dimensional space." Medea said, "The Holy See on your side should have also studied the high-dimensional spirit plane, right?" A world that cannot be observed, cannot be influenced, and can only be proven mathematically...... They must have gone there, and their bodies were forcibly ascended. ”

"You're saying that their state of matter is diffuse, which is why they can't be observed?" After Medea's reminder, Nora also seemed to suddenly realize, "Because it is diffused into a higher dimensional space, it cannot collapse, so it cannot be observed?" ”

"Yes." Medea said, "In your scientific terms, it's called a quantum ghost form. ”

Asker: ..................

"Do you understand what they're saying?" Aske looked down and asked Sheila next to her.

This girl had received an imperial education from the Eastern Solomonic Empire and should be able to understand their academic discussions.

"Captain, do you know about the observer effect?" Sheila tries to explain, "When you're not observing, the system is in a superposition of a and b. Once you observe it, the system collapses to one of the states of A or B. ”

"Observation is collapse, and conversely, it is dispersion that prevents observation. The so-called quantum ghost form refers to the system being forcibly diffused into a and b superposition, making it completely impossible to observe the state of the system......"

"Uh-huh, I see." Asker said quietly, "That's all it takes to explain. ”

Sheila didn't say any more, just snickered inwardly. The head of the regiment will also have such an embarrassing time.

"Is there any point in what you're talking about?" After another moment, Asker interrupted their rambling academic exchange.

"Asker, do you remember the previous Psitron Polluters?" Nora said worriedly, "Kinetic energy-based gunpowder weapons can't do damage to them. ”

"At first, I thought it was something like transparency, but now it seems that this is not the case, and it seems more likely to be due to the influence of high-dimensional space. Because of low-dimensional normal attacks, it is difficult to act on high-dimensional creatures. ”

"It's like a paper man on a two-dimensional plane who shoots an arrow with a thickness of 0, such a weapon cannot harm a human in three-dimensional space, and an object with a thickness of 0 will only pass through his body."

"Assuming that this creature really comes from the legendary spirit realm, then the vast majority of the scientific and technological weapons of the Holy See will not be able to have any effect on it. As early as the Quaternary Age, imperial academics have argued this: no matter how weak the high-dimensional monster is, it is an out-and-out disaster for our world. ”

"Well, if a technological weapon can't damage it, can only supernatural abilities hurt it?" Asker asked again as he recalled his previous experience.

"Yes." Nora replied in the affirmative, "The extraordinary abilities we currently know should be a simplified phenomenon of some high-dimensional physical laws in three-dimensional space, so only extraordinary abilities can harm them. ”

"But don't forget, the hierarchy of the otherworldly world is even more cruel." Medea reminded from the side, "If there is still the possibility in the scientific community that a child holding a short sword and stabbing an adult with a rifle to death, then a low-level object in the transcendent world can hardly defeat a high-level object. Because there is a huge gap between the two sides, both in terms of the capacity and quality of spirituality. ”

The implication in her words was so obvious that she almost said "we should run away immediately".

"Nola, then." Asker ignored her hints and asked, "Are you still going to the Holy See to find your brother?" ”

"Yes." Nora said without hesitation, "I am a transcendent and can threaten these monsters, but my brother can't. ”

"Because this is my private matter, and it is not easy to involve everyone, so Asker, you can take everyone away first, and after I go to the Lateran Palace to pick up my brother, I will come out to meet you in the city."

"No, we'll go with you." Asker said.

"Why?" Nola's eyes widened.

"Because we're a team." Asker said.

"Dangdang!" Medea playfully voiced next to her, "Nola's favor has risen!" ”

"It has nothing to do with good feelings." "I just want to see the so-called high-dimensional creatures. If you don't want to go, you can say it here and let Medea take you away early. ”

The girls looked at each other.

"As you say." Eleanor shrugged, "We are a team after all, and of course we will obey your commands. ”

"That's good." Aske nodded and said, "Target Lateran Palace, let's go." ”

So the people of the Blue Sword set off again, heading in the direction of the Holy See's residence.

Asker silently estimated the composition of the team's combat power.

As Nora and Medea said, physical attacks do not work against high-dimensional creatures, and must be supernatural abilities that can be actively used.

In this way, isn't the most suitable person in the team to deal with high-dimensional creatures?!

After all, Eleanor's Will Armament and Optical Flow, Nola's Spirit Manipulation, Sheila's Storm and Gravity, Sidlifa's Frost and Thunder, Medea's Fire, Mia's Shadow and Peggy's Law of Death are all long-range extraordinary abilities that can be actively used - in comparison, although my Star Nine Style can also come in handy, the sword's attack range is really hard, and this time the high-dimensional creature can fly.

But fortunately, the laws of war have a plundering skill, and it seems that I have to "borrow" the ability from them. I don't know what characteristics high-dimensional creatures can plunder, so I'll have to collect information later.

Asker pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt a little strange.

Am I missing someone?

After counting the people around him again, he suddenly realized:

It turned out to be Mier......

Mi'er's guns, bullets, and ability to manipulate luck are not suitable for attacking high-dimensional creatures.

In this operation, let her be in charge of reconnaissance from a distance.
