Chapter 177: The Power of the Dark Ritual
For Rorschach, the mysterious war of the Dark Plane or anything didn't appeal to him at all. Knowing that there was another potential danger in this world, he paid more attention to his own power building.
After contacting Sarah, who was far away in New Mexico, and knowing that the mining was going well, Rorschach handed Belcher all the books he had borrowed from the library.
This was for Belcher to scan and record all the contents, and Rorschach waited for Belcher to study the translation.
Not only these newly borrowed books, but also the Book of Cagliostro.
The Ancient One just asked Rorschach not to show the book to other "people", but in the eyes of the Ancient One, Belcher was just a "tool" made by Rorschach. Although it seemed too human-like compared to other robots, the Ancient One could still see through the metal structure beneath the skin at a glance.
The Supreme Mage is a very open-minded person and willing to touch new things, otherwise Kama Taj would not have such a thing as an IFI. But even for a character like the Ancient One, it's hard to imagine that Belcher was actually a mechanical being.
A strange-looking, but very intelligent robot, this is the conclusion given to Belcher by the Ancient One, so there is no objection to Rorschach recording the contents of the book through the robot.
It was also with Belcher's help that Rorschach was able to record all the contents of these books in a short period of time. And after Belcher read it and understood it, he taught this knowledge to Rorschach through the virtual space.
This process has created Rorschach's almost genius learning speed.
Armed with the simulator, he entered the virtual space, where Belcher was already waiting for Rorschach.
"Well, those books about out-of-body minds, do you understand?" Rorschach asked.
"It's okay, but most of Kama Taj's spell robots can't be used. In particular, this out-of-body ability tells the story of how carbon-based human beings can make their spiritual consciousness exist independently from the body, which has nothing to do with us steel bodies, and has no reference value at all. Belcher said.
"It's a pity, I thought you could all experience an out-of-body feeling, it was pretty amazing." Rorschach said with some disappointment.
In fact, Rorschach was disappointed far more than this, more importantly, Belcher confirmed that the soul of intelligent robots is completely different from that of humans. Therefore, Rorschach's imaginary plan to create spell robots on a large scale would not work.
However, there is also the technology of energy matrix, which can be applied to Rorschach's robot army, and it will not be much worse.
"Okay, then let's continue the progress of the last time, I think this time we should try to simulate the dark ritual and see what the hell this spell that summoned Dormammu is." Rorschach said.
The Book of Cagliostro mainly describes the concept of time, and records a lot of time-related spell information. But most of these spells rely on the treasure of the Eye of Agamotto to cast.
And the second half of the book is about Dormammu, the dark plane. This being, who claims to have traveled through time, is described in the book as several powerful and terrifying.
But it's such a terrifying demon god-level character, but there is a spell in the book that can summon its power.
It's like telling a child how dangerous firecrackers are, but the other side tells him where they can buy firecrackers, or even make their own.
Rorschach felt that the person who wrote the book was definitely cultivating spells to make his brain abnormal, otherwise he would not have died like this, and recorded this forbidden knowledge in great detail.
Or to put it in a more noble way: the mage ignores the potential dangers in the pursuit of knowledge and truth.
Rorschach didn't care so much, just started to cast the spell that summoned Dormammu in this virtual space.
The virtual space is just a place where consciousness is simulated, and there will be no real energy exchange changes, but a false world deduced through calculation. Therefore, Rorschach is not afraid to really summon Dormammu, he just wants to practice the process of this ritual proficiently, after all, Yiduo is not pressing.
Rorschach opened the Book of Cagliostro to the page of the Dark Ritual and began to slowly chant the corresponding incantation, and a cloud of dark red energy appeared in his hands.
Unlike Wanda's lively superpowers, this mass of energy seems dull and deadly, and it is daunting to look at.
Rorschach knew it was a simulated effect, but he also had some apprehensions. With such a terrifying external display, how stupid do you have to think it's a good thing?
However, Rorschach resisted the discomfort and began to wave his hands in the void, carving out the blood-red runes representing the dark plane.
The rune looked a bit like a Gemini symbol, or a bow that had been parted. When the entire dark red rune is carved, the rune begins to spin and constantly drops what looks like blood from the rune.
And as this rune continues to rotate, this virtual space seems to have undergone a change for a while.
Originally, Rorschach designed the virtual space as a spacious hall with bright light, but now, the simulated floor tiles on the ground are starting to ripple.
The floor tiles are constantly being copied and moved, some scattering, some converging, changing violently like a kaleidoscope.
Not just the ground, but even the entire space, is distorted. The gravity and sense of space in this simulated world began to become disorganized, leaving Rorschach feeling a little dizzy.
However, this change seems to be in your own hands. Rorschach tried to wave his arm at the constantly copying and combining floor tiles, and saw that the floor tiles were frozen under his control, and there was no more duplication and splitting.
Rorschach waved his hand again, and the walls of the virtual space began to flip like folding beds, from perpendicular to the ground to horizontal, and then ninety degrees upside down, becoming sunk into the ground.
This world seems to have become a dough in Rorschach's hands, which can be kneaded at will, and even gravity can be turned into several directions.
However, Rorschach couldn't tell whether this world-changing power came from this dark ritual that summoned Dormammu, or from his absolute control over the virtual space.
After all, this is the world he created.
However, the power to transform the world Rorschach could not feel the difference, but the power of transforming the body, Rorschach sensed it. Rorschach only felt that in this virtual space, his body was being invaded by some kind of energy, and he began to become healthier, stronger, and younger.
Rorschach and Belcher are both in virtual space, unaware of the outside world, when a tuk tuk knock is heard outside Rorschach's room. After no response was heard, the door was quietly pushed open.
