Elements are Mana energy transformed by specific Attribute rules. When Primordial Mana is transformed according to certain specific rules representing the bottom layer of the world, it becomes elemental energy with distinct characteristics.

This is the most basic definition: the four fundamental elements can be directly converted from Mana.

Further ascents occur, such as Natural Elements which can be transformed from the four basic elements under special conditions.

Furthermore, many special elements can be formed by fusing Mana with other special energies, such as Divine Power, the Power of Faith, and magical power...

Aberrant Elements are a special type of element, formed by the fusion and transformation of Mana and Aberration Energy.

Its formation likely follows the bizarre rules of a distant or even long-extinct strange world, ultimately presenting this strange state that combines elemental characteristics with Mutation Contamination.

Su Luo has started falling out.

This is so damn difficult!

This was completely beyond Su Luo's current capabilities.

His level of understanding, observation methods, and even the conditions of the entire experimental environment were far from sufficient to support this level of research.

Don't be fooled by how easily Su Luo created the Mana Wardrobe Change, making it seem like she's incredibly cool.

This isn't because Su Luo is some kind of extraordinary genius, although that's certainly quite an exaggeration.

This is Mana system itself is powerful and highly adaptable. It relies on the Mana system's strong adaptability and plasticity to carve out a path in a world without magic.

But the Aberrant Elements are different.

Su Luo had never systematically studied the elemental system in depth, which was not a field he should be exploring at his current level.

His previous ability to discover the [reversibility] and [Infestation] of elements through limited knowledge and numerous experiments was already close to his limit.

Not to mention that Aberrant Elements and Aberration Energy are of the same lineage, just like father and son.

Its extremely dangerous nature, coupled with various "restrictions" imposed by the presence of someone behind the scenes...

The Aberration Energy was like a priceless treasure buried underground. Su Luo painstakingly cleaned up the Strawberry tower in the dry toilet, only to discover in despair that there was a septic tank underneath.

Moreover, even priceless treasures might themselves be manure...

As a result, Su Luo frantically conducted various experiments and reviewed the Skill Books and knowledge images left behind by the Mutual Aid Association, especially those related to elements and universal energy.

They even learned about some of the conditions and the proportions of Mana and Aberration Energy.

However, it remains difficult to recreate the Aberrant Elements.

Looking at the Aberrant Elements lying Jingjing in the container, not daring to act recklessly in the face of the Aberration Energy, Su Luo sighed regretfully.

Well, we already have samples, so we can take them back and study them at our leisure after the Dungeon is finished.

After pulling out a handful of her hair, Su Luo's eyes widened slightly in surprise, not expecting that she would still lose hair after becoming a superhuman.

Let's review the experiment records.

The cause was discovered: during ultra-high-intensity data calculations, the brain was Overclocking, and the heat dissipation efficiency couldn't keep up, causing localized instantaneous high temperatures that directly melted off some hair.

It sounds like you're describing a machine.

Su Luo thought to herself.

Looking at the unreplicable Aberrant Elements and the falling hair, Su Luo suddenly understood the group of half-bald materials science graduate students in her university days.

It turns out that at the end of scientific research, whether it's science or magic, one cannot escape the fate of going bald.

His gaze swept over the entire box of high-tech USB drives he had acquired from the Great Yong; the systematic modern knowledge system was undoubtedly a powerful tool...

Of course, putting aside her current research for now, the new element is not something Su Luo should be trying to exploit right now.

Then he hesitated between learning modern knowledge and continuing to learn [Spell Permanence Technique (Fragment) (Blue)] and [Body Modification (Blue)].

I want to learn modern computer technology and industrial systems in one go, and try my hand at a Mana computer by combining it with the Mana system; I want to learn mathematics to enhance my calculation ability, logical analysis, and model building; I want to learn high-energy physics and energy analysis to continue my experiments...

But Su Luo held back, focusing her energy on Skill Books to continue improving her combat power.

He took out Spell Recording Crystal during a break and continued to improve the Spell.

[Spell Permanence Technique (Fragment) (Blue) Level 17 (8945/17000)]

[Body Modification (Blue) Level 6 (5306/6000)]

[Body Modification] is progressing slowly, and it is still a long way from being able to safely perform surgery on oneself.

But [Spell Permanence Technique] has reached a whole new level.

Su Luo couldn't wait to return to the Land of Darkness to fight.

Originally, the Spell was constant, and Su Luo had to continuously consume Mana to maintain the Spell's constant state, unless the Mana supply was changed to another path, like the automated Mana Conversion Device in the underground Laboratory of Hudu.

But now, after studying the previous content and combining it with his own extremely high understanding of Spell and a lot of practice, he has touched a completely new realm— Eternal Permanence.

That is, a true Enchantment, a permanent Enchantment.

In other words, Su Luo no longer needs to pay the Mana required for the "maintaining constancy" operation; she only needs to provide the Mana for the Spell to run.

[Allows the Spellcaster to permanently imprint Spell effects onto objects without continuously consuming Mana, but requires a one-time, significant Mana cost and material expenses related to the Spell's strength.]

This was the direction Su Luo discovered while previewing the later chapters. Based on his own understanding, he managed to find a flawed path to achieve it ahead of time.

The biggest obstacle is "special materials".

The orthodox method requires various elemental crystals and magic-conducting metals to reduce the constant difficulty and stabilize the Spell structure, which Su Luo lacks.

However, materials like Mana crystals are designed to reduce Mana consumption during constant processes, and Su Luo can directly use her strength to throw bricks, so she has plenty of Mana.

As for the special materials required for some Spells that Eternal Permanence...

Su Luo wouldn't even consider it, because the current version of Eternal Permanence is an incomplete version that he figured out himself, and he wouldn't use it even if you gave him special materials.

Use Mana, elements, and Divine Power to fight it all.

Using enormous energy far exceeding conventional needs, that constant process was forcibly completed.

Low efficiency? No problem, he absorbs mana quickly, he can afford to wait.

Restarting the semi-automated Mana conversion production line, Su Luo began to upgrade all the previously temporary and permanent Spells into permanent Enchantments one by one.

When the Mana Pool was half full, Su Luo heard a deafening roar outside, stopped the constant flow, and flew up to the mountaintop.

In the distance, a massive SS Rank Mutated Beast charged forward, its momentum overwhelming. Its entire body resembled a runaway chariot of flesh and blood, crashing through the mountain rocks with a stench of blood and an aura of destruction, before hurtling towards the incinerator.

"Appraisal!"

[Aberration Dragon Beast (Elite)]

[Level: 5]

[Strength: 14.8]

[Spirit: 2.5]

[Constitution: 14.2]

[Skills: Regeneration, Blood Mist, Mountain Shatter, Pain Immunity]

Su Luo simply raised her left hand casually, her fingertips flicking slightly.

In an instant, howling gales arose out of thin air. They were not chaotic turbulence, but rather formed countless visible cyan chains that precisely wrapped around the Mutated Beast's limbs as if they were living things, suddenly contracting and tightening inwards!

Click--!

Hey-hey.

They couldn't stop them.

Su Luo's Attributes are still too low.

Su Luo calmly used the wind to lift up a nearly three-meter-long columnar object, infusing it with her full Mana, and the columnar object began to hum.

Inside, Su Luo's constant, dense array of Spells were running simultaneously.

A point of intensely white light appeared at the tip of the pillar, then transformed into an extremely condensed line of fire, shooting out silently and instantly piercing the Mutated Beast's skull covered with bone plates.

There was no explosion, no struggle.

Flames Spread silently from the inside out, turning the massive body into a still, charred sculpture in the blink of an eye. The wind dissipated, and the charred remains crashed to the ground, shattering into countless pieces, and then fell silent.

There's one by the roadside, bro.

No! They should have been kept for dissection...

I'm impressed.

Feeling that she still had two-thirds of her Mana remaining in her body, Su Luo went back to maintain the device...

An hour later, Su Luo stood there, deciding to research and develop a defensive Spell system in the Laboratory to resist danger, and also to familiarize herself with and explore methods of Eternal Permanence.
