The Witch's Taste

Chapter 383 Mandala Temple

The mandala magic sword can absorb and plunder the power of any strange thing at the moment it stabs it.

What is the mechanism behind this?

In the mysterious world, pursuing the underlying nature of a certain phenomenon in detail often leads to extremely dangerous results, so Chen Ziang did not delve into it in detail in the past.

It wasn't until he ate the fruit condensed for him by the Mandala Sword that he gradually understood some information.

The origin of Magic Sword is analysis. He believes that the essence of all things is actually information, and material entities are the protective shell of information, similar to the existence of a firewall.

The killing mechanism of the Mandala Sword is that when it pierces the opponent, it can use viruses to penetrate this protective shell, thereby directly plundering the information inside and deleting it.

Once the information is deleted, the constructed shell ceases to exist and turns into what Chen Ziang calls "tinder". Its essence is "some kind of information compression package" and is the condensation of massive information.

In this universe, both the laws of physics and the power of gods are composed of nearly massive amounts of information.In other words, as long as you have enough fire, even if you want to permanently distort the laws of physics or steal the authority of the gods, you can theoretically do it.

This also explains why the three major camps in the abyss use the three fires as their own currencies - because it is indeed a "wishes-granting machine" that can be used by both gods and lower races.

In other words, sister Chen Xiaozhu's disease can also be treated with this fire, as long as a method of using fire can be found.

Of course, knowing this doesn't change the situation.

Another news that the Mandala Sword brought to Chen Ziang was the existence of the Mandala Temple.

This magic sword has had many owners in history, and most of them were not humans, but lower-level races from other planes, and there was even a prosperous alien civilization.

This civilization worships the so-called "Mandala Goddess" and believes that the magic sword is an artifact given by the goddess to the agent.In order to worship this artifact, they even opened up the "Mandala Temple" in the abyss to store various things plundered by this magic sword.

Now this civilization should have been lost in the long river of time. Otherwise, how could the Mandala Sword fall into his hands?From the perspective of that civilization, the current "Mandala Divine Envoy" should be himself. Chen Ziang thought that he really had to go to the Mandala Temple to see if he could find the legacy of the previous owners of the sword.

The easiest way to get to the Mandala Dharma Hall is to teleport from inside the Mandala Dharma Sword.

Chen Ziang pondered for a moment and looked at the mandala flower blooming in the center of the floor again.

The vines had let go of the three witches, slowly curling up in the center of the room, and then coiled into a mysterious arch.

This frightened the witches, because Datura Flower usually kept them here and forced them to study various mysterious knowledge. How did they ever tell them that they could leave this room?
Sure enough, this guy treats tenants and landlords differently.

"I'll go take a look first." Mihui Nishikawa couldn't wait and took the lead through the arch.

"Let's go." Chen Ziang looked at Mizuhara Saori and Takano Seiko.

Since you want to explore the Mandala Temple, and you are not sure whether the other side is safe, of course, the more people you bring, the better.The downwind team can be used as a boost, and the headwind team can also be used as cannon fodder. Anyway, they will not die in the true sense.

The three of them passed through the archway made of vines and quickly disappeared.

--------

The search on the ruined planet continues, but the two witches who were originally responsible for leading the team have stopped the work at hand.

Then start arguing.

"I didn't lock him up." Tsukimiya Suzuna explained patiently, "If I really did this, I would never appear in front of you again. Wouldn't it be good to live in seclusion with your seniors in a place where you can't find him?"

"You must take me to see him." Xia Zili said coldly, "Unless I confirm with my own eyes that he is safe and sound, it will be useless even if you talk nonsense."

"I won't stop you from meeting him, but you must first prove that you have nothing to do with the mastermind behind the scenes." Tsukimiya Suzuna said bluntly, "The problem now is that I have no way of trusting you."

"He and I were husband and wife in my previous life!" Xia Zili said angrily, "If there is one person in this world who loves him the most, it would be me, not you! Make your identity clear, Tsukimiya Suzuna!"

"I don't want to quarrel with you." Suzuna Tsukimiya waved her hand vigorously, interrupting her subsequent accusations. "You claim that your sister has nothing to do with this matter. How do I know that you won't accidentally leak the secret to her?"

Xia Zili was stunned for a long time before she realized that the mistress' suspicion and hatred towards her sister had reached the point of being almost crazy.

"Okay, let's go find her on the Forever." She made a decision quickly, "You confirm with her yourself."

Tsukimiya Suzuna naturally would not refuse, or simply said that she wanted it, so the two returned to the bridge of the Forever and met Xia Qingyu who was reading the report.

The witches had keen eyesight and soon saw the contents of the report, which was exactly the explosion that had just occurred on the planet's surface.

"Xia Qingyu." Tsukimiya Suzuna said indifferently, "Senior was attacked by an explosion in the subway tunnel. The imperial forces arranged this incident. Didn't you foresee it in advance?"

Her question was a hypothetical question, that is, "I first acquiesce to a certain fact, and then ask questions based on this. If you don't deny the fact itself, it is equivalent to acquiescence."

How could my sister fall into such a blatant trap?Just as Xia Zili was thinking this, she heard Xia Qingyu ask coldly:
"so what?"

"What's so?" Her reaction was beyond the two's expectations, so much so that Tsukimiya Suzuna's expression became solemn.

"He is the leader of the starship humans." Xia Qingyu said slowly, "Isn't it normal that there will be forces trying to assassinate him without making sure everything is done, but yet he appears openly and openly?"

"Sister, you..." Xia Zili asked tremblingly.

She had expected that her sister would deny it decisively, saying that she had no knowledge of the attack on Chen Ziang; she had also guessed that she might ridicule Tsukinomiya Suzuna and laugh at her for being blinded by hatred... But this completely indifferent attitude seemed to be completely indifferent. Xia Zili couldn't understand that he didn't care whether Chen Ziang lived or died. "I'm just stating the facts." Xia Qingyu said coldly, "Now that he is gone, is he hidden by you? This is also a wise choice, but the better way is not to be too nervous, because the more you show, the more Being concerned about his safety is equivalent to telling the enemy, 'This is my weakness,' the more the enemy will target him."

"So?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked jokingly, "Don't you care about his safety, and then wait for the enemy to attack and kill him?"

"You care about his safety." Xia Qingyu asked sarcastically, "So, have you guarded against a sneak attack?"

Xia Zili grabbed Tsukimiya Suzuna's arm hard to prevent her from being unable to restrain herself and attacking the Forever directly, demolishing the entire bridge.

But Suzuna quickly threw her arm away and asked in an extremely terrifying tone:

"So you had foreseen that he would be attacked, right?"

Xia Zili looked at her sister pleadingly, but Xia Qingyu ignored her sister's eyes and said indifferently:

"Yes, so what?"

"You finally admitted it!" Tsukimiya Suzuna gritted her teeth, turned around and asked, "Xia Zili, what else do you have to say!"

Xia Zili was on the verge of collapse.Although her sister was not involved in the attack, she admitted that "she knew about it in advance but did not warn everyone," and this was enough reason to distrust her.

You know, no matter how fiercely Tsukimiya Suzuna and her quarrel, deep down in their hearts they always believe that "the other party will not be harmful to Chen Ziang". This is why two witches who are supposed to be hostile can put aside their prejudice and jealousy for the time being. The only basis for mutual cooperation against a common powerful enemy.

But Xia Qingyu directly destroyed this trust foundation.If she doesn't care about Chen Ziang's safety, then even if she is not the mastermind behind the scenes, how can anyone believe that she will not rebel for other reasons later?
Sister, so why are you...

"The Federation fleet has appeared!" Yuuki Izumo suddenly rushed in and said hurriedly, "At the edge of the galaxy, sublight speed is approaching!"

"Deal with the federal fleet first." Xia Qingyu said calmly, "Let's talk about the follow-up later."

Tsukimiya Suzuna looked at her with hatred, but she also knew that the mainland military forces controlled by Xia Qingyu were indispensable when facing the federal fleet, so she had to swallow her anger for the time being.

But as long as the war is over, she will definitely start to attack immediately and settle old and new accounts with Xia Qingyu!
--------

Behind the portal is a completely broken world.

In the distance is some kind of majestic and towering palace with a strong foreign style, but the road leading there seems to have been completely destroyed by the earthquake. There are collapsed pillars, broken roads, and winding roads everywhere. of water flow.

What’s even more weird is that with every collapsed and broken place as a boundary, the space on both sides is completely chaotic and twisted.For example, the water on the right side of the boundary flows downward, then the water on the left side of the boundary flows upward... Obviously the gravity directions on both sides are not consistent.

If you look more closely, you can see that even the speed of the water flow is completely different, indicating that the time flow rate is not completely uniform here either.

Faced with such a strange environment, Nishikawa Mie did not move forward rashly. Instead, she got a ghoul from somewhere and directed it to shuttle continuously on the broken road.

Just as this environment is strange, the movement of ghouls has also encountered the phenomenon of "ghosts hitting the wall".When He tried to cross the boundary, he did not appear on the other side of the boundary, but suddenly came to the broken pillar further away.

"Obviously." Mizuhara Saori said lightly, "Here, the space is not continuous, and we cannot walk in a straight line to the hall."

"If the broken position is regarded as a wall, these walls will separate the entire space in front of one small room after another." Takano Seiko also thought about it and said, "The fact that two rooms look adjacent does not mean that there is a gap between them. You can pass each other, and if you cross any wall rashly, you may be teleported to other rooms."

"There is no metal in it." Mizuhara Saori sighed, "otherwise I can try jumping over directly."

"So what should we do next?" Nishikawa Mie asked impatiently. She was directing the ghouls to move around. "Just try your luck?"

"Perhaps we can write down the route." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "For example, which way to go, where we will travel to, and write down all the routes we walk and travel until we sort out a route that can lead directly to the temple in the distance. "

"Good idea, I'll record it." Takano Seiko took out his notebook, "Meihui, please cooperate with me."

"I know." Nishikawa Mie said calmly.

Everyone stayed here for a long time, directing the ghouls to run around.

Then I discovered a desperate thing:

There are many invisible space cracks ahead. If you pass through them in a certain direction, the new position you will jump to is not completely fixed.

"Perhaps it has something to do with time." Chen Ziang pondered and said, "For example, changing the route every half a minute? It seems that we need to experiment repeatedly to find the time pattern of changes between routes..."

"Spare me." Takano Seiko said with a wry smile, "Introducing the dimension of time change will increase the complexity and it will be difficult to sort it out through a notebook."

Everyone looked at the ghouls spinning in front of them, and they all showed helpless expressions.

With such a confusingly divided space, you might be completely trapped if you go in hastily, so you can't go in and try it out directly.

Chen Ziang looked around.The temple seems to be built on the top of a mountain on a rocky planet, surrounded by a deep and endless void, and below are towering cliffs. The gray rock soil at the bottom can be vaguely seen, extending to the end of the horizon.

Behind everyone was a cliff covered with mandala vines, the thickest of which formed the shape of an arch.

He reached out and plucked one of the datura flowers, gently twisting the stem between his fingers.

The flowers do not follow the stem, but always point forward.

　The pit of Mandala Sword and Xia Qingyu’s pit are filled together.
