Chapter 276: Chapter 246: Anomalies and Abnormalities

“No, this isn’t right?!”

“What is going on?!”

Looking at the massive space rift stretching across the sky, all the experienced wizards present, including Jeming, collectively showed expressions of bewilderment.

Something’s wrong!

It’s very wrong!

Because this series of events does not align with the normal process of plane wars they are familiar with!

According to convention, while traversing the chaotic void on the “Ship Plane,” as the commander of this plane war, Seventh Level Grand Wizard Dionysius Spencer should take the time to distribute basic information about the target plane to everyone.

Even though, many times, due to limitations in the means of acquiring intelligence, this basic information is very brief.

Nonetheless, for a plane war always accompanied by the risk of huge casualties, this information is still vital!

At least, it allows the wizards to have the most basic preparation when facing completely unfamiliar enemies, preventing them from being caught off guard.

But now… what’s the situation?

Why did Dionysius Spencer not provide any effective information and suddenly, directly opened the space passage to the target plane?

Moreover, there’s another more eerie question: why is that opposing plane so quiet?!

The basic composition of the Wizard World is very different from Jeming’s previous life in that pure material world, which includes certain special matters.

In the scientific cognition of Jeming’s previous life, the concepts of “space” and “time” essentially “do not exist.”

Essentially, these concepts are merely created by intelligent life as “measuring tools” to gauge the motion status of fundamental particles in the universe.

They are just “concepts” and do not correspond to any specific objective entity.

However, in the Wizard World, these two entities “actually exist!”

Different planes may have varied elemental structures that constitute these two basic entities internally.

But basically, in all planes, “time” is constructed mainly using the “Water Element” and its variants, while “space” is constructed primarily with the “Wind Element” and its variants.

Differences in the fundamental materials naturally lead to subtle variations in time and space between different planes.

Especially concerning “time,” if a plane is not detected externally, its internal time flow operates at a unique speed.

Fortunately, time in the Wizard World adheres to the “Observer Unification Principle.”

Simply put, no matter the time flow within a plane before it’s opened, once it connects with another world and is “observed” by outsiders, its time flow forcibly synchronizes with the outsider’s world time.

Thanks to this special time principle, although the Wizard Civilization has conquered countless planes, it has never resulted in chaos due to the “difference in time flow speeds.”

Conversely, if the internal time of a plane is completely disconnected from external observers, its internal time flow speed will again become unpredictable.

Nonetheless, typically, when another plane “approaches” a sealed plane, due to the elemental attraction effects between different planes, the time flow speed of the sealed plane would naturally accelerate under such influence!

Thus, typically, in the eyes of the wizards, a space rift successfully connecting in just a few breaths would, to an invaded sealed plane, appear as signs of celestial anomalies months or even years earlier!

For this reason, whenever wizards completely connect a space passage, they inevitably encounter frenzied attacks from the indigenous people of the plane who have long been waiting!

But now…

The other side of the white mist in front is… too quiet!

The wizards waited cautiously for a moment, discovering no signs of energy fluctuations or biological attacks from the opposing plane.

This excessive quiet made the wizards, who were originally excited and ready for the first bloody battle, quite puzzled.

Even the various menacing biochemical beasts beside them, who were long prepared for slaughter, revealed confused expressions due to their lack of intelligence.

Some wizards with cautious personalities began dispatching small scout units from their storage space specifically designed for reconnaissance.

Preparing to send them to collect the mysterious white mist on the other side of the space rift, to see if there exists some unknown poison or pathogen within it.

At this moment, two extremely brief streams of information accompanied by a mental wave simultaneously transmitted to the terminals of everyone present.

It was the belated intel from the Seventh Level Grand Wizard Dionysius Spencer:

[First, preliminary exploration shows the highest observable level of life in this world does not exceed Fifth Level.]

[Second, no wisdom creatures are currently detected in the area.]

Upon reading these terse pieces of information, Jeming suddenly sensed a subtle yet terrifying change in the atmosphere around him!

He turned his head and saw that the wizards around him, after a moment of shock, all had expressions mixing greed, ecstasy, and bloodthirst, with excited and cruel smiles on their faces.

An indescribable pure desire for slaughter burst out madly from these wizards present!

This was like a creature standing at the top of the food chain discovering a lush pasture with no resistance, knowing they could plunder at will, a savage aura.

This terrifying and apparent change in momentum even caused the biochemical beasts around the wizards, which were already bloodthirsty, to emit low whimpers of terror under its pressure!

Accompanied by a faint noise from who knows where, the more than a hundred thousand wizards on the “Ship Plane,” unable to suppress their inner desires, seemed to be stirred up and suddenly soared into the sky in unison!

They appeared like black meteorites tearing through the sky, flying madly toward that giant rift in the sky with a piercing whistle and dazzling tail flames!

And the biochemical beasts, which were supposed to be the protagonists and cannon fodder in the early stages of plane warfare, also followed their masters into the sky, while most were temporarily left behind.

Jeming, after a brief shock, quickly reacted as well.

Without the slightest hesitation, he joined the other wizards like a locust swarm and accelerated towards the giant space rift!

The five Black Giants beside him immediately responded to his command.

Fierce flames erupted from under their feet, and their huge bodies followed Jeming like five massively propelled black missiles!

Just as he passed through that space rift to the other plane, Jeming sensed something was wrong!

Space rifts typically choose areas where the energy barriers between two planes are thinner.

And generally speaking, in most cases, these regions refer to the stratosphere of the two planes or higher altitudes.

So, when passing through a space rift, wizards usually feel a significant change in gravity direction.

But… this world is different!

As soon as Jeming rushed in, he discovered the pull of gravity from the “Ship Plane” behind him had completely disappeared.

But at the same time, he didn’t feel any other downward pull in this world!

He glanced at the several other wizards who burst in with him.

He found out that their usual flying postures became somewhat distorted and awkward, just like him.

Jeming pondered for a moment and immediately made a bold decision — he dispelled the “Flying Skill” that maintained his body.

Then he noticed his body continued to maintain its original posture, quietly drifting in this vast white air!

Now, it can be confirmed…

Jeming’s heart surged with shock.

This plane… has no gravity!

In the Wizard World, one of the most basic laws to construct everything is: “Mass” generates “Gravity”.

And “Gravity”, or “Attraction”, fundamentally originates from “Matter”.

And most “matter” in the Wizard World is composed of solid and heavy “Earth Element”.

This plane has no gravity.

This simple fact instantly led Jeming to an astonishing conclusion — this means the “Earth Element” in this plane is extremely sparse!

The white fog visible to the naked eye that permeates between heaven and earth might be condensed with “Earth Element” particles as its core.

But probably, the overall proportion of the Earth Element is reduced to an alarming degree!

If so, this means that all wizardry related to “Material Manipulation” and most “Force Field Class” magic would drastically diminish in effectiveness!

“However, conversely, the Fire Element reserves in this world are probably not low. The plane’s birth must be based on either matter or energy, so Energy-type magic should be easier to use…”

Jeming began to quickly analyze all this in his mind.

Meanwhile, in the palm of his hand, a glow composed of wind, fire, and water elements was constantly flashing, combining, and obliterating.

He was quickly verifying his earlier thoughts through this simplest method of energy model construction.

“As expected…”

Several tests confirmed his hypothesis.

In this world, constructing spell models of the force field class is exceptionally difficult and extremely unstable.

Such a unique world, the types of life forms born within and its various ecological characteristics should also be exceptionally rare!
