Everyone was doing their utmost, but beneath that desperation was a sense of numbness.
It was the rationality of knowing they were doomed to lose.
Ni Liuyue was still locked in fierce battle, but he would fall sooner or later, while everyone else could not find a way to defeat Themis.
If they had to name a way, ascending to the fifth dimension would work. As long as everyone remained in the same dimension, they could win.
The problem was that once they ascended, they would become Ascended Bodies.
That was exactly Themis's goal in coming here. Otherwise, why would he have fought them at every turn?
They had gone around in circles, yet every road ended in a deadlock.
Luo Yan looked at Joshua. "I have a question. How did Themis have time to ascend dimensions?"
"Light of Civilization is a light-speed attack. Although it killed Mischievous Ghost first, the attack then had to travel to him."
"But he couldn't see something like that. By the time he saw it happen, Light of Civilization would already have struck him."
Joshua explained, "Wormhole Technology. At the time, tiny wormholes linked Themis's Triple Emperor's Bodies, transmitting particles between them to exchange information."
"That was superluminal transmission. The instant Mischievous Ghost was struck, Themis's other two bodies had already sensed it."
Luo Yan frowned. "Wormholes... Didn't you say Wormhole Technology was useless? The cost is too high."
"It is basically useless. It consumes a huge amount of energy to transmit only a single atom, so the technology can only be used to exchange such tiny amounts of particles."
"With our algorithms, transmitting a small number of photons through a wormhole is enough to record quite a lot of information."
Luo Yan suddenly understood. So that was how it was.
"Then how are
