Chapter 448 Enter

Viola imagined the scene:

The bewildered newborn consciousness of this dimension, upon "waking up," "senses" a terrifying "foreign object" emanating from its body, poking around aimlessly...

The anger and anxiety on her face were gradually replaced by a strange expression.

That seems... plausible?

Especially at this moment, the green plane outside the porthole, which had destroyed all the magic arrays, did not show any intention to press its advantage or destroy everything.

On the contrary, the surface of its dimensional barrier is exhibiting a rapid and irregular creeping state, with the energy flow fluctuating in strength, sometimes bulging and sometimes contracting, and overall...

"It's like a giant cat with its fur standing on end, all tense and throbbing..." Viola muttered unconsciously.

He was stunned for a moment, realizing that the analogy was a bit absurd, but surprisingly apt.

She looked at Jieming, her expression still unpleasant, but the gunpowder in her tone had mostly dissipated: "So, according to your judgment, Starfall... was a success? Created a living dimension with an exceptionally timid personality?"

Jemin did not answer immediately.

His gaze shifted from the light screen to the "frizzy" dimension outside the window, and his expression, instead of relaxing, became serious.

He nodded, then slowly shook his head.

"Judging from the results, the activation experiment of the living plane was undoubtedly a success. It has an independent soul, can freely manipulate the plane's energy and matter, and can even react so... intensely to external stimuli." Jemin slowed his speech. "However, whether the Starfall Wizard himself is safe and sound... is probably a huge question mark."

Viola's heart sank.

Jemin's words were a wake-up call.

Yes, the Starfall dimension has come to life, but what about Starfall itself?

There was no news from her from beginning to end.

Professor Clark has gone deep inside, and so far he has shown no intention of coming out, nor has he sent any clear signals.

Does this mean that Clark's mentor has encountered some trouble?

The two fell into a brief silence, and the atmosphere in the control room shifted from the tension of the previous battle to a heavy worry.

Fortunately, their mentor Clark didn't keep them waiting for long.

A short while later, after the soul in the living dimension had completely stabilized, the control panel in front of Jemin lit up and received a message.

The message was short, and the sender was naturally Clark.

The content consists of only two sentences:

The situation is under control; you may enter to view it.

Maintain a gentle mental state during the process; do not stimulate the newly awakened consciousness.

Viola and Jemin exchanged a glance, both seeing a sense of relief in each other's eyes.

"Let's go!" Viola decided immediately.

To avoid stimulating the living plane, the two no longer relied on the warship.

Violet stretched out her hand and placed it on Jemin's shoulder. The solidified power of the laws of a sixth-level wizard gently expanded, forming a stable shield that enveloped Jemin.

The next moment, the two left the warship and flew towards the green plane that was still slightly "wriggling" and seemed somewhat "tense".

Unexpectedly, when they got close enough, the energy in one area of ​​the seemingly taut dimensional barrier quickly became thinner and softer.

Then the dimensional barrier "parted" to both sides like ripples on water, revealing a "portal" large enough for the two to pass through.

"Wow," Jemin couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "This control... it's truly 'alive,' manipulating his own body is like an instinct."

The ability to open and close the dimensional barrier so freely is far beyond what ordinary dimensional administrators can achieve by relying on authority and magic arrays; it is the control a living being has over its own "limbs".

Viola, however, had no interest in appreciating the spectacle. With a solemn expression, she determined the location and then flew straight in through the portal with Jemin.

The moment they passed through the dimensional barrier, an unprecedented feeling enveloped the two of them.

This wasn't the feeling of energy environment transformation you get when entering a normal plane; it was more like... entering the interior of a gigantic life form.

The energy medium within the plane was permeated with an intense, almost palpable vitality, and a clear, yet somewhat timid, sense of being watched.

Although the other party had been hiding very carefully, its immense presence had already revealed its existence—undoubtedly, it was the gaze of the very soul of this plane itself.

With a clear goal in mind, Viola flew at high speed toward the location of the Starfall Wizard's core laboratory, which she remembered.

The scenery along the way was not greatly damaged, but the mountains and rivers seemed to be infused with a spirit, the plants grew in a particularly "spirited" manner, and even the wind seemed to have a certain rhythm.

Soon, a mountain peak that had been cleverly disguised by illusion came into view.

But at this moment, the illusion had completely dissipated, revealing the majestic metal tower atop the mountain.

This is the actual laboratory of Starfall.

However, the tower's appearance was startling.

In the upper middle part of the silver-gray metal tower, a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters is clearly visible!

The edges of the hole were extremely irregular, the metal was torn and molten, and the residual energy formed fine electric sparks that occasionally jumped and flickered, emitting a slight crackling sound.

This was clearly caused by someone violently penetrating it from the outside in an instant.

"It must be the mentor's doing," Jemin said in a low voice.

The two followed the signs of destruction and flew into the tower.

The internal structure was also severely damaged, but the main passages were still relatively unobstructed.

They quickly arrived at the massive laboratory located in the core area of ​​the tower, following the direction of the strongest energy fluctuations.

The laboratory was in a mess, with many precision instruments overturned, energy lines broken, and crystal fragments and metal debris scattered on the ground.

But in the center of the laboratory, in a relatively clean area, two figures floated silently.

One of them was their familiar mentor, Clark, who wore a gray robe and had a calm expression.

He was standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the laboratory dome.

It wasn't metal there, but rather a flowing energy curtain like a nebula, with countless points of light seemingly moving along some mysterious trajectory within it.

And another figure...

Upon seeing the other person, Jemin's pupils suddenly contracted.

The moment Viola saw the person clearly, she was struck dumb, stunned for a second, then rushed over, her voice shrill and distorted with excitement:

"Starfall! You bastard... how did you become like this?!"

The one hovering beside Mentor Clark was indeed the Starfall Wizard.

She was still wearing that elegant robe adorned with silver stars, and her face was still the same intellectual beauty he remembered, with even a smile on her lips that was quite familiar to Jemin.

but……

She has no body.

What appeared before the two was a soul body with incredibly clear features, solid as crystal, yet with a semi-transparent texture!

The robes, hair, face... all the details are lifelike, but the "realism" is completely lost.

The physical body of the Starfall Wizard vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the Starfall in its soul form was completely oblivious to its current state, waving lively at Viola and Jemin behind her as they rushed towards it, its voice clear yet carrying a strange, ethereal echo:

"Hey! Viola! Little Jemin! You're here! Welcome, welcome! Oh, don't get so excited, I'm perfectly fine!"
