Chapter 310
Chapter 310
God had developed a convenient tool for manipulating spatial objects with electromagnetic radiation so that their owners stayed completely unaware of it. Kyon intended to take advantage of this loophole and bypass the god’s laws.
He took the rat and created a new spatial pocket through the micropores in its channels. A few minutes later, he converted Synergy into radiation ranging from radio waves to X-rays and sent it into the bubble.
Thanks to Synergy and his vast knowledge about wave interference, Kyon could create incredible things with the spatial bubble. He tore it, bent it, stretched it, gave it any shape!
Kyon immediately put his plan into action. He confirmed his assumption that the external layer obeyed the differential geometry laws, which meant that its walls could cross each other without consequences, but the bubble burst as soon as there were any bends. As a rule, it was restricted by topology.
With the help of electromagnetic radiation, Lovr divided the bubble into segments, twisted and turned them, and then turned the bubble inside out. The outer and the inner sides of the bubble swapped places without breaking the spatial pocket. The protective layer was now inside, and the one that served as a beacon was outside.
Kyon did not rejoice ahead of time. He connected the bubble turned inside out with the ring and held his breath, trying to put 90-degree hot water inside. The cup with hot water disappeared and then returned at a wave of his hand!
Lovr dropped to his knees. Tears of happiness welled up in his eyes, shining with triumph: {Suck it, god!}
Kyon would never have believed that knowledge about solving the Smale paradox would help him bypass god’s plan in another universe. Turning a sphere inside out is impossible in the usual physical world, but it worked between the worlds, where the laws were distorted! God had left a loophole in his rules, stupid old fart!
The restrictions on sending the active matter and energy to the ring weren’t enclosed in the space between the two worlds (Fair enough! Why create a universe out of a speck of dust?) They were concentrated in the inner wall of the bubble shell! Combining the function of a beacon and a radar, it also performed the function of a limiter, catching any contraband from the physical world and spitting it out!
When Kyon turned the bubble inside out, the “confining field” created by the shell started to spread outward, into the endless and ruthless singularity. From now on, he could put into the ring everything that god did not allow.
However, with the bubble turned inside out, he couldn’t “feel” the item located inside the spatial pocket. Anyway, it wasn’t a big deal for Synergy! It never forgets. It can execute mental commands without “beacon” prompts.
Kyon had cracked god’s puzzle and came up with a non-trivial way to bypass his laws. He had found the “imba” of this world, the possibility to put the active matter in the spatial ring, be it boiling water, fire, magma, an explosion, a flying bullet, and even an artillery shell! It was in his power to destroy a disproportionately stronger enemy with a wave of his hand! All he needed was to place pre-made shots in the ring, turning himself into a walking launching system that didn’t need a reload or a muffler! But how to put it all in the ring? He still had to figure it out.
But before that, Kyon did some more experiments. It was not possible to put the ring in the ring. Nor a living organism. Much to his disappointment, he failed to send active energy inside the ring, for example, an attack. As soon as there was any movement, the bubble shell immediately destroyed, spewing its content outward. It was as if a mousetrap snapped. Apparently, the inner layer that used to impose constraints was too sensitive. Even being outside, it instantly reacts to the slightest radiation generated by the elemental energy.
Anyway, today nothing could spoil Kyon’s mood! Tingling with excitement, he headed to the dwarves’ factory in Boston. He was bursting with pride. Hadn’t he deceived god himself! Hadn’t he found a loophole in his laws! He was, however, apprehensive about the punishing lightning like the one that struck him when he had mastered the basic grade of the nine elements.
The dwarves received him at the factory as he were an angel descended from heaven! Not a single human in the world had ever deserved such respect and veneration from the bearded people. Kyon was the one who had given them chemistry, electricity, and firearms. They would lick his shoes clean and thank him for the honor.
Kyon listened to the report on the meeting with Fernand, the imperial envoy. Then he tried to get rid of Gennady’s granddaughter, who did her best to seduce him on her grandfather’s instructions. Mila did everything she could except wag her butt in sexy lingerie! She was really cute, but now the self-proclaimed genius had his plate full right now.
Kyon explained to the displeased head of the factory the reason for his visit, and Gennady gave him the go-ahead to experiments with artillery of all sorts and on any scale. Kyon was provided with unlimited amounts of warfare materials and projectiles. He was even given a couple of helpers just in case.
Kyon began his experiments. First, he tried to place a flying bullet into the ring. It wasn’t so easy. He had to cover the bullet with film in a fraction of an instant and send it the ring at once. He got it right on the tenth try!
However, he wasn’t happy with the outcome: {It’s driving me mad! There must be an easier way to do it!} – After a little reflection, Kyon came up with a solution. He infused the cartridge with the spatial attribute and sent some energy under the black film. When he fired a shot, he instantly teleported the flying bullet into the already formed bubble and sent the contents inside the ring.
~bang~
With a loud bang, the contents of the ring erupted outward. One of the bullets hit Kyon in the forehead.
{It’s dangerous!} – Kyon thought, rubbing the red spot on his forehead. If the bullet were an artillery shell, the room would have been full of red spots and his brains! Apparently, the residual energy in the spatial pocket was the major cause of failure.
The task was clear. He had to find out the atomic mass of the bullet, calculate the amount of energy for each nanogram and arrange everything so that no energy would remain after teleportation. The super-accurate calculation was just the right task for Synergy!
This time, he did it on the second try. The task was a piece of cake!
Kyon patted the huge artillery launching system with a smile. Once he could hardly hit the examiner in the eye with a pistol. If Kirsan had protected his eye with pure energy, he wouldn’t have even batted an eyelid. A noble phaser ready for the attack would feel a pistol shot like a grain of sand in windy weather, which cannot be said about an artillery shot!
According to rough estimates, one projectile was equivalent in power to the “Annihilation Sphere,” with which Kyon almost killed Timothy at the family tournament. By the way, Timothy Brown was at the 5th stage in the noble phase. At least three shots would be required for a lord phaser (5) at the beginning stages. About ten shots would hurt a lord phaser in the middle stage. As for a royal phaser (6), 100 shots may not be enough even at the beginning stage! These monsters can turn a heavy tank into a pile of scrap metal in a snap! If they are ready for the attack, even artillery shots will be nothing but firecrackers for them.
However, there’s always an effect of surprise. It is unlikely that anyone would expect any danger from a practitioner who is 2-3 phases weaker.
As if that weren’t enough, Kyon had reached the 8th stage of the advanced phase! Finally, the negative effect of taking breakthrough medicine had disappeared.
At some point, Lovr was obsessed with a fixed idea: {Why don’t I take part in the tournament?} – A momentary flicker of greed lighted his eyes. The tempting award made his mouth water, but the soul harvest was more interesting! His nucleus was filled with souls by only 1%! He didn’t like the idea of going on a rampage to complete the next requirement of his unique body of the void! The tournament was aimed, among other things, at reducing rapidly multiplying populations of dangerous to humans beasts. The beasts had no intellect. Moreover, they were a danger to the peaceful population, so Lovr could kill them without violating his principles. With the newly acquired weapon, he wasn’t afraid of anyone. No beasts, mad Artie, Prince Charles, and even the sects envoys (if they ever suspected him at all) posed him any threat!
Besides, just before the tournament started, his bones would have been upgraded. Kyon’s skeleton would be made of ultra-strong carbon. Together with his carbon skin, Kyon’s level of protection would rise to an unattainable level! His skin would absorb stabbing and cutting attacks, while his bones would protect him against crushing and penetrating blows. The organs would get a minimum impact. However, even 1% of the recoil could lead to disastrous consequences.
After considering the pros and cons, Kyon made an affirmative decision, entirely in his ambitious, adventurous nature. His desire to hit the jackpot, i.e., banal greed, also influenced his judgment. He could hardly persuade himself to lay low in Cernos and raise his cultivation. After all, he was not the kind of guy to hole up in a safe cave for years while his soul evolved like some hermit or an immortal cultivator…
But his main motivating factor was Dinah. Every second counted. Kyon wouldn’t forgive himself if another guy took his dear girl. He had to get stronger as soon as possible to prove to the fucking goddess that he deserved the beautiful assassin more than anyone. The tournament, or rather the awards, should increase the speed of his cultivation.
