“... It was an unreasonable power, we never imagined that a life could evolve to that extent, it was like a devouring source, devouring everything that came close to it, whether it was information, life, or energy, the two true spirits could not escape by all means, they did not even see what the enemy was like. ”

"It was in a deep sleep, all of this was done unconsciously, or subconsciously, and the two True Beings were so frightened that they were afraid to wake it up, so they gave up their resistance, shattered their souls and all the information they carried, and allowed themselves to be devoured. ”

"It's just—" Adam didn't know what to say for a moment.

"This is the only time since the Magic Revolution that a True Spirit has fallen. After that time, we found the other two areas where there were hyper-void life, but with the experience of the previous time, we did not rush into it, but designated its location as a forbidden area, guarded by the True Spirit, and forbidden for all life to approach. ”

"Now, you should know the true meaning of exploring the existence of a mage, right?" asked His Majesty suddenly.

"Discover these Hypervoid Beings to serve as a warning to the mage world?"

His Majesty nodded: "That's it." In the past, such work was done by true spirits, but as time passed, the power of true spirits became stronger and stronger, and the strength of modern true spirits far exceeded those of the first two who fell, and the movement of us walking in the void could no longer be hidden, and we were afraid that our entangled energy and information would wake other monsters from their sleep. As a result, there is an exploratory type in the mage world, using his own life to explore the way forward for the mage civilization. ”

Adam muttered, "I thought there would be no exploration mages after the extradimensional..."

"Full-level exploration mages are just internships, and the real main force is the extradimensional level, and there are often extradimensional falls in unknown deep space, and we don't even know what they encountered, because many times they can't even send back the last information. "His Majesty pointed to the Void Map," and what was sent back formed the orange area. ”

"There is reason to believe that the Hyper Void lifeforms are the strongest remnants of the previous era, and they should have tried to break through the cage of the Aether Void to the higher latitudes, but it is clear that they have failed. ”

"We have all the more reason to believe that they will not be resigned to failure, and that they are now dormant to accumulate strength, perhaps they are waiting for a civilization that is beyond the qualifications of this era, such as us. Then wake up when we exert our strength, devouring us, and even the entire Aetheric Void, taking possession of our fruits. ”

His Majesty paused for a long time, waiting for Adam to digest the information.

After a long silence, Adam asked in a dry voice, "Are they individuals, not a remnant of civilization, if they are..."

At this time, it was the Prometheus True Spirit Archmage who answered Adam, he came to the origin space at some point, and after hearing Adam's question, he said without hesitation: "There is no possibility of cooperation. They are individuals, and the evolutionary path of the Tertiary is the detachment of the individual, and the available evidence suggests that they devoured all the energy and life of the Tertiary after the individual strength reached its limit, perhaps this is the reason why they were able to withstand the formatting and reconstruction. This means that they are necessarily our enemies, and there is no room for moderation. ”

"But even individuals, now that they have failed, may accept our ideas and work with us to transcend?"

Prometheus suddenly said something else: "You know that mages are pursuing holistic evolution and mutual transcendence, right?"

Adam nodded.

This is the fundamental contradiction that cannot be reconciled. The existence of the magic net, the evolution path of the mage, determines that we must be enemies with the creatures of the previous era, because all our efforts are to make the origin a cluster consciousness life, so that the mage world will become bigger and bigger, until it is equal to the void, and then rise through the void from the inside, replace it, and become the new etheric void. ”

"The opposite..."

"That's right, it's the other way around. When evolution reaches a certain point, we and them will block each other's paths, and this contradiction can only be solved by the complete destruction of one side. ”

Speaking of which, Adam also knew what the other threat was, those who could reach the end of an era, even if it was an individual, their strength was undoubted, they failed, no one was sure that the mage would succeed, this crisis was even more serious than the first one, once it failed, there would be no chance to fight and resist.

"What about the Third Holy Tower?"

"The Third Holy Tower is the night watchman of the mage world, preserving all the knowledge and fire of the mage world, once the final transcendence fails, we will do our best to preserve the third holy tower, let them enter the fifth age, and spread the fire of the mage world again. ”

After some time, Croft said to Adam, "You don't want to do any more research for a while. ”

"Yes, but why?"

"After your extradimensional state is stabilized, there is a task for you. The plane coordinates you gave to Sandy last time had some information sent, and after the analysis by the Exploration Department, it was suspected that it was a low-level remnant of the Third Age power system, and the Mage Council decided to send a group of extradimensional exploration mages to hand over the mission. ”

"During this time, you submit your request for the Tower, and the Council will make it for you as quickly as possible. ”

———

After the conversation, Adam left the origin space, and according to the instructions of the true spirits, the double-slit experiment entered the secret level, and Adam had no interest in continuing the experiment for the time being.

The work of the Atomic Energy Research Institute has come to a standstill due to the previous shock, and it will be necessary to wait for the mages to return to normal before continuing.

By now, Adam also knew the reason why they had such a huge reaction to the experimental phenomenon, and it was understandable that they had that reaction when the fear that had been in their imagination suddenly manifested itself in front of them.

At this time, Adam could no longer use the truth to directly enter the main material world, but he had nothing to do in the main material world, so he simply locked himself in the temporarily closed atomic energy research institute and began to write papers, theorizing, figuring, and magicalizing the results of his previous research.

The first to complete is the wave-particle duality and the concept of material waves, after success, his control of electromagnetic waves has reached the point of handy, a beam of light sent out at will can become a high-energy laser in an instant, and can also condense this laser into a substance after the change of ideas into a lightsaber, not only that, but now he can control the microscopic particles around him with a random action and a thought, and to a certain extent, condense them into essence like light, or decompose them into waves...
