"Justina's magical power supply efficiency test, eleventh trial, begins now."
In Aurelius's Mage Tower laboratory, Jia Xiu, Mia, Ram, Margaret, Bubu, Elizabeth, and Gillianis sat in a row, each seated atop an amplification magic array.
At Jia Xiu's command to begin, everyone moved at once, supported by the amplifiers as they fiercely poured magical power into the crystals before them.
They were not casting any spells. They were simply forcing magical power out.
Meanwhile, Justina continuously fed magical power in.
The classic problem of filling and draining a swimming pool at the same time had finally found its application.
"I mean," Justina could not help saying, "I know you're testing something, but this really looks a little... uh, stupid."
She had her reasons for saying so.
Over the previous ten tests, they had already tested the rate at which magical power was consumed in that other plane.
The results had been perfect.
The recovery rate she could provide far exceeded the consumption rate. She could barely even feel the drain.
Only then did she truly feel that she was no longer a demigod.
It really was a massive improvement.
But that had only been their first test. Every test afterward had pushed beyond known data, relentlessly probing the limits. It was not as if she cared about losing that little bit of magical power, but continuously pumping it out like this made her feel like a sucker.
Jia Xiu immediately refuted Justina's complaint.
"How can you be sure that was the other plane's maximum consumption rate? Of course we need to test the upper limit of what you can output. Only by knowing your limit can we know when we need to retreat, how much safe time we have when we do retreat, what safety margin is, and what redundancy
