Arcane Calendar 41 years, Academy City, Arcane Tower No. 17.
Ian and Rowena stand side by side, and the huge screen in front of them displays every move of Herpo in that pocket dimension in real time.
"Do you think he will agree?" Rowena asked.
"Unlikely." Ian shook his head.
"Why?"
"If it were the Herpo of the past, he would have agreed even if he was pretending to save his life," Ian analyzed, "But I can see that these years of being a god have changed him. He values his dignity as a 'god' too much. How can a high-ranking god bow to a mortal?"
Rowena nodded and said nothing more. She had no sympathy for the fate of Herpo. After all, in her timeline, she was kidnapped by this person and almost became Sacrifice, and she herself in that timeline probably died at the hands of Herpo.
Ian turned around and looked at a woman wearing a white coat with reddish skin behind her.
"Alti Tower Master, we will start preliminary experiments in a few days. I will participate in the early stage, and the rest will be left to you and your team."
"This is my honor, Your Majesty." Alti replied excitedly.
She couldn't believe that she had the opportunity to experiment on a real "god". As a descendant of the Americas aboriginal people, she retained awe of spirituality in her bones. In Old Era, her tribe's magic was mainly based on shamanic teachings, summoning the spirits of ancestors to fight, heal or curse. Therefore, the ancestors of many tribes are enshrined as gods.
And now, her experimental subject is a living Bleach.
"Our tribe's [Ancestral Magic] has become stronger after being transformed into Arcane Rune System. Maybe by studying this Bleach, I can go one step further." Alti couldn't hold back his inner excitement.
A few days later, Ian tried to communicate with Herpo again and asked him if he had thought about it clearly. However, he was ignored by the other party.
Ian shrugged. Since you don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, let's start the experiment.
"Your Majesty the Consul, where do we start?" Alti asked.
"As far as we know, gods are immune to most magic, except high-level magic. So, test his magic resistance first. Attack him with Wand Magic and Dragon Tongue Magic to see the effect."
Alti nodded, and his fingers quickly operated on the transparent control panel.
The experiment began. She started with the weakest "Expelliarmus", went to "Reducto", and finally even used "Fiendfyre" and Unforgivable Curses.
As expected, the results were completely ineffective.
These spells fell on Herpo, like a stone sinking into the sea, without even a ripple being stirred.
Apart from annoying Herpo, there was no real harm. In fact, this Bleach originally wanted to fend off these attacks, but he quickly guessed that the other party was using him for experiments. The humiliation of being treated as a guinea pig almost drove him crazy, but he did not want to waste the precious energy in his body because he had not given up hope of escaping.
"It's interesting."
Ian looked at the data and connected to Morgana's communication. "Connect to Floating City's main energy bank and transmit the energy to this tower."
"As you command, Master."
After a few seconds, the huge Philosopher's Stone at the core of Floating City began to output terrifying magic power.
[Alert! Alert! Alert!] [A huge influx of energy has been detected! Please take measures immediately!]
Tower Spirit's piercing alarm sound startled Alti. Looking at the energy value that was enough to instantly evaporate the entire Solar System, she was really shocked.
"Don't panic," Ian said calmly, "Use these huge magic powers to amplify the spells just now and try the effect again."
Common sense tells us that the more magic power is injected, the stronger the spell effect. In theory, if there is enough energy support, even a simple Disarming Charm can instantly disarm millions of people.
Alti quickly adjusted his mentality. On this planet, only the emperor has the authority to mobilize this level of energy at will.
She launched another attack without hesitation. This time, Wand Magic and Dragon Tongue Magic blasted towards Herpo with energy that would destroy the world.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
"These gods are indeed proud," Rowena, who was watching the battle, commented. She stared at Herpo, her eyes narrowed slightly, "We must find a way to analyze and copy this 'magic immunity' mechanism."
"That's right, but we have to find the reason first." Ian ordered, "This time, use arcane magic."
Alti Execute immediately.
This time, Herpo finally responded.
When Arcane Rune Spell attacks, a translucent shield automatically emerges and blocks the attack. This seems to be an instinctive defense mechanism.
Ian frowned. If he continued like this, he would not be able to distinguish the specific impact of high-level magic on the divine body.
"Start [Mana Forbidden Enchantments(Mana Forbidden Enchantments)]."
The enchantment was activated, followed by another round of attacks. However, the shield still existed. Logically speaking, Anti-Magic Domain should be able to block Herpo's magic power and turn him into a useless person, but this trick actually failed.
Ian was thoughtful and suddenly thought of something, "Start [Energy Drain Enchantment]."
A powerful suction force instantly erupted under Herpo's feet, trying to extract energy from his body.
Herpo immediately resisted with all his strength. As a god, he has absolute control over his own energy.
This tug-of-war lasted for a full three hours. In the end, a faint trace of energy was forcibly stripped out.
Tower Spirit immediately conducted a preliminary analysis.
"This is not magic," Alti said, looking at the data.
"This should be Divine Power."
Ian's eyes flashed. One of his previous experimental projects involved Faith Power (Power of Faith). With the rise of Arcane Divine Church, he collected this power.
Preliminary research shows that the power of pure faith is harmful to the spirit and soul. However, Lin An once proposed a theory: if faith and magic are fused, a new form of energy may be born.
He named it "Divine Power".
Unfortunately, he never found the correct method for Fusion, and this experiment was shelved.
But now, looking at the sample extracted from True God in front of him, he finally had the opportunity to pry into the ultimate mystery of Divine Power.
Ian instantly became excited.
