Chapter 440 Super-level Magic
Kano began to chant an obscure spell, and the gem he carried flashed with rainbow light.

When an individual is accelerated to the extreme, from the caster's perspective, it seems that time around him has stopped. This is one of the pinnacles of the transformation system, the ninth-ring spell [Time Stop].

Now, in Kano's perspective, everything stopped, even the arc light released by the transmutation dust and the barrier consuming each other. He had to move, to continue moving forward, the surrounding entities and illusions became sticky and blurred, the barrier, etheric membrane and time and space blended, and merged into one under the promotion of the transmutation dust.

Now Kano was briefly separated from his original world and time and space, as if he was wrapped in a soap bubble overflowing with rainbow light, sliding outside the time and space where the main material world and the astral world blended.

This process lasted only a moment, the shortest [Time Stop] Kano had ever activated. It was so short that the brain could not fully capture what was happening, and the magic power in the body when the spell was activated was still flowing and vibrating according to the established spell model.

But everything is different now. He escaped from reality and came back, but he has come to the astral realm, the top surface of the transmuted dust layer, tiny crystals spilling into the boundless and empty void, and the wake dragged behind Kano, which mixed with the distorted space-time and the remaining power of the blue barrier, turning into a rainbow bridge spanning the earth and the starry sky.

At this time, the magic environment has returned to normal, no longer seriously disturbed by the mixed divine power. The figure of the great wizard Kano began to change, his facial features disappeared, and his body gradually became transparent and reflected the stars. This was to adapt to the environment of the star world. He temporarily changed his form to avoid the negative effects brought by low gravity, lack of oxygen and other factors.

Until now, he finally had the leisure to take a look at his surroundings.

In front of him, there were several bright and prominent planets, and behind them, the depth of field seemed to be compressed, with other celestial bodies reflected on it. It was said that that was the boundary of the main material plane, the legendary crystal wall.

There are even more vast and magnificent scenes on the crystal wall. The brightest star clusters are clustered in the strips composed of dense celestial bodies. According to the records of mythological epics, inside is the "end of the stars."

Behind Kano, he had already moved away from the first obstacle. Looking from the front, the transmuted dust layer flow did not change the shape of the earth. A beautiful planet could still be seen, but the scene seemed to be severely dispersed. It was not until Kano observed the edge that he could see the colorful arc outlined by the layer flow.

"Oh, what a beautiful cage"

However, this trip was not to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The great wizard, who changed his shape and looked like a human-shaped silhouette of the starry sky, began to cast a spell. The scene around him moved with the caster as the center. The nearby starlight moved away and receded, and new light gathered and rose. The sense of distance was lost, and the dense galaxy passed through the crystal wall, and the "end of the stars" revealed its true appearance.

The cold white and black celestial bodies rotated silently, and an upside-down tree emerged from the matter and energy they swallowed and exhaled.

This is Kano's "ambition" - to reach the original layer. He admired the Tree of Law and his breathing became heavy.

The gods disappeared, and the only thing left of the former forbidden land and the barrier between intelligent life was the transmutation laminar flow. Now he finally entered this place and witnessed the source of all things, the storage place of many original texts.

Today is just a great beginning. Kano has been thinking about how a loose magic guild can become a truly powerful multinational organization.

In the past, guilds were indeed powerful for the lords, but they were extremely loose and unconstrained on the spellcasters themselves. Therefore, when the situation changed, the guilds would split like they are now, and even face the crisis of existing in name only.

The answer to transforming it is here.

If every trace of spellcasting can be observed, then although the recent observation of the "National Assembly" has made Kano hesitate and doubt the establishment of the power structure, in any case, the existence of the Tree of Law and today's attempt to enter the original layer provide a certain possibility and a cornerstone.

"Time is running out, let me verify the records in the ancient books one last time." He mobilized his magic power again, preparing to cast [Time Stop] for the second time.

Although Kano was already weak, the original layer had its own peculiarities. Kano felt that his spellcasting process was perfect, and a strong premonition told him that once successful, the effect of the Nine-Ring Spell would be perfect.

At the beginning, the nodes on the trunk and the first few rings of the Inverted Sorcerer's Tree were already very active, reflecting that spellcasters from all over the world were activating their magic. Naturally, the corresponding casting process of the Grand Mage could not be seen. However, at a high level, the number of nodes lit up became increasingly scarce. As [Time Stop] was almost ready, the nodes that were lit up step by step became clearly discernible.

If the spell is cast successfully, the perfect [Time Stop] will exile the caster himself, making him escape from the current timeline and space membrane.
As the spell was about to be successfully cast, the information contained in the original layer was instilled into Kano's mind, making him sweat coldly and hurriedly stop the spell and action. The stream of light on the node link of the Tree of Law collapsed. However, his goal had been achieved, verifying the feasibility of observing the Tree of Law to monitor magic all over the world.

"Hmm?" Suddenly a very remote branch caught Master Kano's attention. That branch was completely different from the other brilliant branches of the Tree of Dharma. There were only two kinds of light and two kinds of aura transforming into each other, decay and rebirth.

Natural system? No, it could be the first or second level of the necromancy system. Kano's pupils dilated.

Eight, nine, ten, eleven. Starting with a zero-level cantrip, that means it's a tenth-level spell.

Magic beyond the Nine Rings is about to be released! It is suspected to be of the necromancy type!

In the far suburbs of Valuana, a secret test site was converted into a "ground station".

"After the eleventh minute of loss of contact, prepare to recharge the teleportation array and forcibly recall Master Kano." Caroline gave the order in advance based on the preparation time of the teleportation array.

Poincare looked at the instrument that communicated with Carnot. Its core was twin crystals, one on Carnot's body and the other connected to an electric current. The crystal on Master Carnot's body oscillated periodically, and the defects in the lattice of the crystal on the ground station would jump synchronously under the long-distance action, causing disturbances to the current.

Such disturbances disappeared in the second minute of launch, recovered at 2 minutes and 11 seconds, disappeared again at 2 minutes and 16 seconds, and there has been no movement since then.

At the ground station, all the attention of Snow, Poincare and others was on the instrument, while Caroline, who was the "commander-in-chief", was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"Shh, don't make a sound."

"Rorschach?"

The two of them used the [Communication Technique] supported by the "Magic Cloud".

"I told you I can come find you after I finish dealing with things over there." The invisible Rorschach said, "If the master doesn't come back, adjust the parameters of the teleportation array and send me to the 'junction', and I'll go find him again."

"Okay. Be careful." Caroline showed the greatest trust in the young man at this time.

Sure enough, the first "mandatory recall" failed.

Caroline was the person in charge designated by her teacher, and she proposed to personally correct the parameters and try again.

After charging and releasing, the teleportation array still did not move. "Still not working?" Poincare frowned. Snow had already drunk the fourth bottle of concentrated purple potion, but Kano still hadn't returned.

Just as he finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared above the teleportation array, and a fat old man who had not yet fully recovered from his astral form rolled out.

His first words shocked everyone, including Rorschach, who had also quietly rolled out of the rift: "There is a necromancer preparing super-level magic!"
