Xu Huo's control over Space Rays had once been rather limited. For instance, the ray barriers he created usually didn't form enclosed shapes. Most of the time, he widened the barrier to achieve a similar effect. His ray blades worked the same way.
Ms. Gong could create a complete enclosed space, then layer it inside itself again and again until it was compressed enough to become something like a bomb.
Now that controlling the rays had become easier, he could create the same kind of cube. With some effort, he could even make irregular spheres, though cubes were simpler. Without the help of Cube Space, he could stack around ten layers. Within Cube Space's range, he could double that number, but the Space Rays within the instrument's range were uneven, so he had to be more careful.
He also tried wrapping rocks in ray cubes and stacking them repeatedly to crush them. He could indeed enclose a stone and squeeze it until it broke, but the volume he could handle was limited. Two or three meters in length and width was his maximum.
Still, using ray cubes to crush objects was quite interesting. He tried it on the temple stones, as well as the nuts, candy, ores, and rare metals he'd brought with him. He even tested his props one by one. Naturally, the props and metals couldn't be crushed. At most, he could deform the metal a little.
Once the stone fragments around him had been more or less "kneaded" to pieces, he opened his Personal Panel to check his messages.
As expected, the Special Defense Department had agreed, but they could only give him an IOU for what he'd asked for. The military and the Special Defense Department had collected a few time instruments, but they had no
