Ian originally planned to go to "Land of the Sun" to see the culture and magic system there. Now he has a new reason, but he is not in a hurry. He still has some things to deal with before leaving.
He looked at Richita and said, "You can live here until we find a solution to your physical problem." After that, he handed her a Crystal ball, through which she could remotely watch the movements of Asta.
This move made Richita instantly forget the sad memories of her husband, and the bright smile returned to her face. She is indeed a simple and kind-hearted woman, and little things can satisfy her.
Later, Ian prepared a sumptuous dinner for the two of them using Charmy's Cotton Creation Magic. After eating, he went to sleep. Because "Higher-Dimensional Life Essence" was still sealed, the continuous high-intensity activities in the past few days made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Although he could use magic or potions to restore his energy, he still chose to sleep. It had been a long time since he had experienced this weak but "human" feeling, which made him feel surprisingly refreshing.
The next day, after washing up and having breakfast, Ian flew into the sky - to be precise, flew into the starry sky.
After reaching the edge of the atmosphere, he turned back and looked down at the world of <Black Clover>.
The entire planet is in the shape of a four-leaf clover. This discovery confirmed his previous guess: this is a world with a "round sky and a square earth" that was deliberately created.
Moreover, this world is extremely huge, with an area at least a thousand times that of Jupiter.
Ian continues to fly upward until it leaves the gravitational range of the planet and enters Void.
He didn't pause at all and flew straight in a certain direction. A few minutes later, he came to an area shrouded in fog.
This fog is not an extraordinary object, but is composed of a high concentration of chaotic space-time energy.
Ian walked carefully through the fog. Before, he would never have dared to do so without the protection of Floating City.
But now, with "Time Magic" and "Space Magic", plus "Mana Zone"'s absolute control over his surrounding environment, he is confident of surviving in it--but only in the peripheral area.
If it's the core area, the space-time storm there can tear even the strong Tenth Tier apart. He's not crazy enough to die.
After passing through the fog, a huge metal ring came into view.
That is exactly "World Gate".
Looking at the dilapidated door in front of him, Ian couldn't help but frown.
Although the main structure was still there, the damage was much more serious than he expected.
The door is covered with large and small cracks, and some places have even been completely broken. To make matters worse, the originally smooth surface of Magic Metal is now covered by a layer of strange black substance, exuding a disgusting smell.
"Void Corrosion," Morgana's voice sounded in his mind, "Boss, the situation is worse than we imagined."
"I know," Ian sighed, "It looks like it needs major repairs."
He did not rush to take action, but flew around the door first, carefully inspecting every damage.
"The core power system has been completely scrapped, and the control center has also been severely damaged. Fortunately, the frame is still usable. As long as the damaged parts are replaced and the rune array is re-engraved, it should be repairable."
"The problem is the material," Morgana reminded. "The metal strength in this world cannot withstand the erosion of Void Energy. We need Magic Metal, a lot of Magic Metal."
"I have also thought of this," Ian replied, "Although there is no Magic Metal in this world, there is a substitute."
"You mean...Underworld Metal?"
"That's right. The environment of Underworld is extremely harsh. Although the metal produced there has negative attributes, its hardness and magic conductivity are excellent. As long as it is purified and transformed by Alchemy, it can be completely used as a substitute for Magic Metal."
"Moreover, I can also use the 'Liquid Mana' and 'Crystalline Mana' technologies to strengthen them."
As long as it has magic power and soul, Ian can do many things.
Finally, he needs a lot of magical resources to repair the enchantment. This is the biggest problem he currently faces.
Some resources simply do not exist in this world, and he must find substitutes, or modify the enchantments to adapt to the laws of this world.
"If it doesn't work, I will use 'Word Magic Formula' to create a temporary enchantment. However, that will require several Aether Core as energy."
After formulating a preliminary repair plan, Ian flew out of the fog with the door.
As soon as he left the dangerous area, he put the door into his pocket Dimensional Space.
Then, he took out a Crystal ball and checked the situation of the Clover Kingdom.
Seeing the scene in the picture, he frowned slightly: destruction.
Whether it's Noble District, Commoner Realm, or Forsaken Realm, battles are happening everywhere, and death and destruction can be seen everywhere.
The magic knights are killing each other, their eyes full of madness and hatred.
"It seems that the plot has changed," Ian murmured calmly, his eyes locked on several key battles.
"This is probably Zagred who is doing something secretly. He should show up soon."
After saying that, he decided to wait a little longer and wait until the time was right before taking action to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.
