Chapter 225 Three Rings, Nine Eyes, Ten Hands
Polarity Reversal was not the true name of this time magic.
Its full name should be the Hex Z-Drive.
It must be said that the mana of the Six-Faced World is a versatile power; even though Chen Nuo only obtained the basic theory from Ekko, he was able to use magic to verify the results in this world.
In passing, he could even use the theoretical results of this world to feed back into it, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.
"You are right. You are indeed not an apostle of the Human God; you are a variable from outside this world."
Orsted spoke in a deep voice, agreeing with what Chen Nuo had said before.
If the Human God had this ability, he would have run out of the Void World for a stroll long ago.
These magical powers, completely different from the existing system, all served to prove Chen Nuo's identity as someone from an "otherworld."
No one understood the magical development of this world better than Orsted; he had experienced hundreds of time loops and personally witnessed the developments of the next two hundred years.
However, Orsted could also realize where Chen Nuo differed from Nanahoshi Shizuka; the person before him had not crossed over in his original body but was the result of reincarnation.
This could be confirmed by the fact that Chen Nuo was accepted by the world.
Someone like Nanahoshi Shizuka belonged to those rejected by the world; her body could not adapt to the local laws and had fallen into a state of "stagnation."
After realizing this, Orsted no longer had the intention to fight; all variables were objects worth winning over, but he was not very good at communicating with people.
Someone, please give me a way to save face.
Orsted kept a stiff face to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
However, Chen Nuo had no intention of stopping; the opponent had truly been aiming for his life just now.
The battle was started by Orsted, so it was no longer up to him to decide when it would end.
Chen Nuo raised his hand and tossed it; Fufu in his hand reshaped itself, forming a ring that suspended behind the back of his head.
Mimicry Magic: Advanced — Simulated Circuit.
The magic circuit was manifested in the material form of a Mana Ring.
And the magic constructed by this magic circuit was only one.
The unilateral conversion of matter and mana.
Abbreviated as the Mana Ring.
The moment the Mana Ring was successfully constructed, a clear and bright white light was released from it.
With Chen Nuo as the center, matter within a radius of about a hundred meters disintegrated and reconstructed at a speed visible to the naked eye, converting into mana.
This reconstructed and converted natural mana could not possibly be stored in Chen Nuo's body; his current body alone could not withstand the scouring of such a massive amount of raw mana.
Instead, it was directly cast by Chen Nuo into the gaps of time.
This was another use of "Z-Drive Magic."
Although the storage time would not be very long, it was enough to support the subsequent series of magic uses.
Chen Nuo's current total mana in his body had only just stepped over the threshold of the Emperor-level; if he didn't cheat a little, he wouldn't be able to support a battle against an opponent of Orsted's level.
The second Mana Ring followed closely behind, completing its construction.
Seven mimicked Demon Eyes served as the main body of the magic circuit, connected in a ring, all staring together at Orsted in front of him.
The seven Demon Eyes with different effects interacted with each other, producing a series of combined effects to either overcome the enemy or benefit himself, such as Precognition, Discerning, Retracing, Anchoring, Insight, and Precision.
The information obtained by these Demon Eyes was then calculated and processed by the external brain "Pronia" before being transmitted back to Chen Nuo.
The first Mana Ring was used to increase the total mana and output.
The second Seven-Eye Ring was used to enhance combat power and enrich his means.
The construction of these two rings actually took less than two seconds, but the impact on the outside world was extremely huge.
The use of the Mana Ring would create an effect similar to a Mana Siphon, which would seriously affect the use of other magic, directly triggering the highest detection warning of the Holy Kingdom.
"The Teleportation Incident?"
Orsted smelled a familiar scent from it.
This method of matter conversion was almost identical to it, only on a different scale.
He certainly wouldn't think that magical disaster was related to Chen Nuo; he could still see the difference between nature and a human imitation.
Orsted was just a little surprised by Chen Nuo's learning ability.
If he could pull this person into the camp against the Human God, perhaps there really was a chance in this life.
Orsted felt a bit of heat in his heart, looking at Chen Nuo as if he were a rare treasure.
But for now, how to withstand the next magic was the key.
Based on the total amount of mana converted, it was already no less than any demigod-level figure.
"Disturb Magic!"
Orsted tried to terminate Chen Nuo's magic release, and he indeed succeeded.
The magic circuit was disrupted in the first instant.
But in a flash, the disrupted circuit was smoothed out by reversed time and reconnected once again.
It seemed Chen Nuo had long anticipated Orsted's methods.
"Foresight Eye?"
Orsted looked at one of the eyes in the Seven-Eye Ring and frowned; precognition shouldn't be able to work on him.
This wasn't just precognition, but a calculation and judgment based on a large amount of information.
Before he could think too much, Chen Nuo's third ring had already appeared.
That was completely different from the previous two; it touched upon the domain of the gods.
Elevating mana into divine power.
This shouldn't be called a Mana Ring; it should be a God Ring.
Chen Nuo had held the concept of the Sun in the Demon Slayer World and was, to some extent, a new generation of Amaterasu; he had naturally spent time studying in the domain of the gods.
Did anyone really think he was just slacking off, only thinking about his three thousand un-wed wives?
The results of this research were naturally shared among all Chen Nuos.
And the first application result was this God Ring.
It was just that the current conversion efficiency was not high, but it was enough to be used in actual combat.
"Noah!!"
Ruijerd shouted anxiously.
Even if he couldn't understand Chen Nuo's operations, he could sense the danger from these surging mana fluctuations.
Once this mana erupted, it would likely level the entire Holy Kingdom.
"What are you still shouting for? Let's run quickly! When our little brother goes berserk, it's really terrifying."
Kishirika looked frightened, but her eyes held the excitement of someone who just wanted to see the world burn.
In any case, it was the humans who would be unlucky, not the Demon Race.
"You are being too reckless!"
Orsted said in a deep voice.
If he were truly such a person who acted so willfully, then there seemed to be no need to win him over.
For the first time, Orsted grasped the God Blade in his hand.
Given the speed at which the God Ring was being constructed, the time left for him to counter was more than enough.
However, just then, a pair of hands extended from Chen Nuo's armpits; they were borrowed from the future.
A little trick from the Sorcerer Supreme.
These hands formed a seal, and ten chains made of mana crossed through space to entwine Orsted.
(Crimson Bands of Cyttorak)
Magic improved and localized by Chen Nuo; judging by its magic circuit, it had already reached the Emperor-level standard.
For magic of this level, Chen Nuo could not perform silent casting; even with some simplification, he still had to rely on hand seals to cooperate.
Orsted subconsciously used force to break free, snapping four chains immediately, but the mana chains then reorganized and reconnected.
This was just the beginning; Chen Nuo borrowed another pair of hands from the future.
Snap!
The sound of palms clapping rang out.
The ground quickly froze, forming a field of ice crystal mirrors.
Before Orsted realized what was happening, the world spun and turned upside down.
As an outstanding student of Kamar-Taj, who wouldn't know how to use the Mirror Dimension?
This world constructed by magic was completely isolated and parallel to reality.
Eris and the others in the real world could see the situation in the Mirror Dimension from the reflection of the mirrors.
Seeing that it wouldn't affect the real world, Orsted secretly breathed a sigh of relief and completely let loose, exerting his full strength as his Dragon Saint Battle Aura erupted, directly breaking free from all the mana chains.
However, before he could make his next move, a mountain-toppling gravity forced Orsted's knees to bend.
"Gravity Magic?"
Orsted looked up with difficulty, seeing magic circles covering the sky above his head, and then looking at Chen Nuo's fourth pair of arms; a long-lost battle intent surged within him.
It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent who made his blood boil like this.
A hundredfold gravity suppression was not enough to crush Orsted's Dragon God body; he could still try to move.
Seeing this, another gravity magic circle formed, completely forcing Orsted down into a kneel.
Nine eyes and ten hands were Chen Nuo's limit, the explosion of accumulation from his thirteen worlds; if this could still let Orsted stand up, then he might as well just reach out his hand and make peace.
The third God Ring was completed.
All mana was converted into divine power; by casting spells with this divine power, any magic would be elevated to God-level magic.
As a faithful believer of the Fireball Sect, Chen Nuo made the choice that best suited the attribute of this divine power.
One hand held up the sky, a Great Sun across the firmament.
This was Chen Nuo's interpretation of the concept of the Sun, and also a nuclear fusion reaction on a physical level.
A combination of the idealistic and the materialistic.
Against the backdrop of the red sun, Chen Nuo's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of divine radiance.
Orsted exhausted his strength to look up, the God Blade in his hand already unsheathed, the divine might it radiated enough to compete with the Great Sun.
In an instant, the world was swallowed by the "Great Sun."
Even the Holy Kingdom outside the Mirror Dimension was submerged in this light that crossed dimensions, losing all perception of time and space.
A long time later, the panicked citizens finally regained their vision.
Everything seemed to have returned to peace.
Except for the large area of disappeared and reconstructed matter on the plaza, which silently proved everything that had happened before.
The high-level officials of the Holy Kingdom also remained silent about this, having no intention of speaking out, deciding to give it the cold treatment and act as if nothing had happened.
...
...
On a ship bound for the Central Continent.
Chen Nuo looked exhausted, even more powerless than Eris, who was seasick nearby.
In the battle within the Mirror Dimension, he did not win; Orsted had drawn his God Blade, performed an ultimate technique, used true divine power, and given Chen Nuo a strike.
Although most of the power of that strike was annihilated by the "Great Sun," a small part of the aftermath still injured Chen Nuo.
When it came to the power of the gods, it was not something ordinary magic could heal; Chen Nuo had to wear it down bit by bit.
Of course, Chen Nuo didn't lose either.
At the bow of the ship, Orsted's shiny bald head was particularly eye-catching, even more brilliant than Ruijerd's.
Not just his hair; Chen Nuo's "Great Sun" had given Orsted a complete hair removal.
In fact, his original injuries were much more serious, but Orsted had used the last bit of his remaining mana to apply Emperor-level healing magic to himself, so he didn't look like he had any major problems.
"Rude fellow, you haven't apologized to me yet. You deserve to be a baldy for the rest of your life."
Chen Nuo grumbled.
These words drifted into Orsted's ears, but he didn't make any reaction.
"He was already ugly, now no one will want him."
Seeing Orsted not reacting, Chen Nuo began personal attacks.
"Actually, Lord Dragon God isn't ugly; he just looks a bit scary."
Nanahoshi Shizuka spoke up for Orsted in a low voice.
On this ship, besides Chen Nuo, she was the only one who could interact with Orsted normally.
"You are quite objective, Shizuka."
Chen Nuo glanced at Nanahoshi Shizuka sitting beside him; without her mask, she revealed a pretty face that was very eye-catching.
It wasn't that Nanahoshi Shizuka's beauty was so outstanding, but rather an exotic charm that differed from the locals.
"Not really."
Nanahoshi Shizuka was a bit shy.
She had already learned from Orsted about Chen Nuo's identity as a "fellow countryman" and was particularly close to him.
"But you making me unhappy like this makes me unable to help you research the magic to go home."
Chen Nuo huffed.
"Eh!!"
Nanahoshi Shizuka's eyes widened.
How could he bully her like this? She was suddenly a bit at a loss.
At this time, Orsted walked over and handed Chen Nuo a written grimoire, which recorded the magic of the Dragon Race.
"We are even."
Orsted said expressionlessly.
"Pfft~."
Looking at that smooth face, Chen Nuo couldn't help but laugh.
"..."
Orsted's breathing hitched for a moment.
"Sorry, sorry. Quick, quick, Sandrone, get a seat for my good big brother and bring out the best tea."
Chen Nuo changed his face instantly.
No benefits meant he was a baldy; benefits meant he was a big brother.
Having inherited all the legacy of the previous generation's Dragon God, the knowledge in Orsted's head was a unique treasure in the world.
Nanahoshi Shizuka was a bit speechless watching this scene.
Not yet graduated from high school, she obviously didn't understand the ways of the adult world.
Orsted sat down calmly.
Even without hair, it wouldn't affect his frightening image in the eyes of others at all.
In fact, only Chen Nuo could laugh in his face.
People like Eris and the others had long since hidden far away.
The curse on Orsted was not something anyone could withstand or face; it was a backlash originating from the time loops.
The two could be said to have become friends through fighting; Orsted recognized Chen Nuo's strength from the bottom of his heart and viewed him as an equal existence, otherwise he wouldn't have tolerated his mockery.
The Dragon God was never a good-tempered person.
"I need you to help me fight the Human God."
Orsted said bluntly.
"This is a bit difficult to handle."
Chen Nuo didn't even look up, focusing on the Dragon Race magic in his hand.
Orsted was indeed a generous fellow; not a single one of the Dragon Race spells in here was lower than Saint-level.
Seeing Chen Nuo being a bit perfunctory, Orsted naturally understood what to do.
"I know all the swordsmanship in the world."
"I need you to study your divine bloodline."
"Deal."
"Then let's discuss how to kill that Human God."
Chen Nuo said with a serious face, looking even more active than Orsted.
