Chapter 2917: Hypercube Space
After leaving with the props, Xu Huo went to B37-008. He had previously inherited "Angel's Fangs" from Old Lady Bai, and after tracing it to this zone, he had left two "fangs" here.
"Angel's Fangs" totaled sixteen pieces and could be placed in different zones under the same wormhole point. Through the fang space, the holder could shuttle back and forth between different wormhole points without needing a ticket or other teleportation devices.
Of course, this also had to be done without being restricted by an instance.
To his slight surprise, just as he was retrieving the props and preparing to head to an A-level wormhole point to purchase some instruments and props, he actually received a reply from the Magician.
Along with the reply came two items.
The first was a Magic Man.
This new Magic Man was crafted from metal, looking somewhat like the robots issued by the game. The difference was that the Magic Man was dressed as a clown, possessing combat power comparable to an A-level player, and could skillfully use various instruments.
Moreover, it was itself equipped with some instruments. Xu Huo wasn't sure if the Magician had made them himself, but these instruments all seemed to be related to magic performances.
The second item was a cube the size of a soybean.
It was exactly the same as the "Cube Space" Xu Huo had obtained before.
Sure enough, in his reply, the Magician mentioned that the "Cube Space" he had once lost was not complete. Although the large cube could still be used, only when combined with the small cube did it become a true super instrument.
When used alone, the large cube could only very limitedly enhance the intensity of space manipulation, and it couldn't stay in one place for long. If it remained for an extended period, the special space power would create spatial gaps, and these gaps would randomly devour living things.
But when merged with the small cube, this flaw could be avoided.
However, since it was composed of two parts, separating and merging naturally had their own uses.
When the large and small cubes were combined, they were called "Hypercube Space." Not only could it assist a Super Evolver in controlling space power over a large area, but it also had a certain concealment ability. Because the "Hypercube Space" would absorb the spatial state within its coverage range, the ray state inside was very chaotic.
Under normal circumstances, this chaos was usually undetectable. But as soon as someone mobilized space power, the state of the space rays would change. The gaps that appeared in the "Cube Space" state could then become very small containment cavities. The holder could briefly hide in these cavities to avoid detection by others, achieving true disappearance from space. Apart from being able to move silently, the naked eye, perception, and instruments could not quickly lock onto the holder's actual position.
This was the auxiliary effect of the combined "Hypercube Space."
However, if the combined large and small cubes were separated again, the space rays within the instrument's coverage would form irregular barriers, rays, or other lethal changes, and the lethality was quite strong.
But it was important to note that the "Hypercube Space" could not distinguish friend from foe. That is, once the space coverage was activated, other Evolvers could also manipulate the space rays within it. However, as the holder, the person closest to the "Hypercube Space" had a certain advantage in control intensity, and adapting to the chaotic space rays also required some time.
Nevertheless, the state after the "Hypercube Space" was separated was unpredictable.
The Magician stated that he was formally gifting this instrument to Xu Huo and hoped he could develop more uses for it.
More uses...
Xu Huo found a spacious place nearby and released the coverage of the "Hypercube Space."
Previously, the "Cube Space" could only be stored in the luggage compartment, and the instrument couldn't be completely turned off. Now it could be turned off, but the truly complete instrument had a very wide coverage range.
After taking P7S, Xu Huo's space manipulation range reached a diameter of 20,000 meters. This range was enough to cover a small city, but with the assistance of the "Hypercube Space," this range expanded by half. However, this wasn't the limit of the instrument's coverage, only the limit of what he could practically control with his space power.
He tried the "concealment space cavity" the Magician had mentioned.
Finding a node where the space rays were chaotic, he attempted to reach in. But he found that the space seemed to have become a solid object. Due to the intrusion of a foreign object, this area of space cracked like a mirror, forming a patch of undulating square fish scales that could open and close with his movements.
This was a novel experience. Xu Huo twisted his wrist and stepped inside. After the human-shaped "fish scales" undulated, his entire body was swallowed into the space.
Inside the space cavity, he could clearly feel a layer of barrier attached to the outside of his body. However, this barrier didn't hinder his movement. He could still manipulate space power to move, but he couldn't stay for too long. If he stayed too long, the space would automatically spit him out.
The overall experience was somewhat similar to the dark space of "Darkened Heart." The difference was that inside the space cavity of the "Hypercube Space," he could see and feel everything outside.
Of course, he also tried attacking and defending based on his existing evolution.
The number of progressive polyhedron bands, or "gossamers," he could currently control was not large. These were the smallest units of the kaleidoscope world. But for now, they were only in the state of a single strand of "gossamer." Although visible to the naked eye, the coverage range was truly not large, let alone reaching the level of doing whatever he wanted.
With the assistance of the "Hypercube Space," the number of "gossamers" increased significantly. However, control had to be careful. Xu Huo tried for a while before making these few "gossamers" move like small snakes. But because the space rays were not absolutely isolated from each other, he couldn't let these colored "gossamers" cross each other.
Nevertheless, the effect was still very good. He simply released a single strand of "gossamer" from a distance, and the power of this space body band's deconstruction directly leveled a large mountain.
Standing far away, Xu Huo watched the rubble and broken trees crashing down on his defense barrier. After confirming the strength of the space barrier, he used space tangents to cut through several nearby mountains.
Although the tangents didn't seem as powerful as the deconstruction of the space body, like the space barrier, they had greatly improved in strength and were more convenient to use. Their defensive power and lethality could match some A-level space-type props and instruments. The only difference was that they weren't as stable.
Overall, this result was quite satisfactory.
After thinking it over, he still didn't try the "Two Hundred Equal Parts." Instead, he opened the Under Dimension to check the real-time broadcast of Zone 014 sent by the Special Defense Department, planning to estimate the time to return. But unexpectedly, a notification popped up on the game platform:
[Super Player "Box Carrier" attacks Platinum Eye. The technological city once hailed as the "King of Precision Instruments" has been reduced to ruins!]
[Super Player "Sun Eye," stationed in C2-002, is suspected of abandoning this zone. Super Player "Falling Star" has hijacked the zone government leader!]
Xu Huo wouldn't get deeply involved in Platinum Eye. He would just make a brief appearance and then return to 014.
