Free Web NovelChapter 529: Chapter 456: Ruins Armor Testing
Ten years flow by quietly amidst focused research and complex artifact refining work.
In the core laboratory of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, Jeming looks at the spell model hovering on the light screen before him and finally shows a satisfied expression in his eyes.
The modification of the Ruins Armor is completed.
"Theoretically, this model has achieved the predetermined value, but whether it’s a mule or a horse, it needs to be taken out and shown."
Jeming does not admire it excessively and directly heads to the large integrated testing field attached to the laboratory.
The testing field is located deep within the mountain, with spacious space, the walls and floor made of special materials capable of absorbing and dispersing extremely high energy impacts, surrounded by various monitoring arrays and energy generators.
Several Black Giant Priests, acting as assistants and researchers, have long received orders and are waiting here.
With a thought in his mind, the spell model in his Sea of Spirit glows, and a set of dark silver Ruins Armor appears out of thin air.
It unfolds automatically like a living fluid, covering his torso, limbs, and even his neck, fitting closely with almost no weight.
The subtle vortex runes on the surface of the armor begin to flow slowly, emitting a deep, serene aura as if it could devour all light.
He stretches his arms and legs, performs several large-scale movement poses, and even directly releases multiple witchcraft spells.
After confirming there are no issues, Jeming nods contentedly: "The humanoid tracking operation module works well, and the friend-or-foe identification module is also fine..."
With a stretch of his hand, the entire Ruins Armor contracts into a dark silver liquid floating in his hand.
As Jeming slaps it forward, the spell envelops the target in front like a tangible armor.
"Begin basic energy resistance testing," Jeming orders.
A Black Giant Priest immediately operates the array in the testing field, launching standardized Fifth Level energy beams from different angles, at different frequencies and intensities, continuously bombarding the target.
Jeming stands in the observation room, watching the unmoving target through the isolated window.
The swirling speed of vortex runes on the surface of Ruins Armor slightly accelerates, all incoming energy attacks are absorbed and decomposed silently by the "Ruins Force Field" layer upon contact with the armor.
The monitoring array indicates that the energy of the attacks is efficiently transformed and stored, not only failing to inflict damage on the target but also supplementing the spell’s operating consumption!
"Increase the intensity, simulate the peak of Fifth Level individual witchcraft."
Stronger beams bombard, enough to easily penetrate conventional Fifth Level protective witchcraft.
The result remains unchanged.
The Ruins Armor stands firm like a rock, with absorption efficiency not decreasing at all.
"Conduct saturation coverage testing, simulate multiple Fifth Level wizards’ concentrated fire."
Thousands of energy generators simultaneously power up at full capacity, colorful energy torrents pour down like a storm, completely submerging the area where the target lies.
The monitoring array’s readings jump madly, indicating that the energy density here has reached an astonishing level, enough to instantly evaporate the defense measures of the vast majority of Fifth Level wizards.
However, at the center of the energy storm, the target remains unharmed.
The Ruins Armor seems like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring all surrounding energy.
The swirling runes have already formed a faint gray force field shield visible to the naked eye, quickly absorbing and decomposing all incoming energy.
This basic test lasted for ten whole days and nights.
The energy generator replaced three batches of energy cores.
Finally, when the test ceased, data showed: after enduring theoretically maximum dense Fifth Level witchcraft saturation bombing for ten days, the internal energy storage rate of Ruins Armor only reached 67% of the predicted limit, with no signs of defensive performance weakening.
From this test alone, any type of Fifth Level energy attack has become completely unable to inflict effective damage on it, instead turning into its "nutrients."
"Next, the Sixth Level simulation test." Jeming’s voice is calm, carrying a touch of anticipation.
The array in the testing field switches mode, energy generator output power and law simulation level suddenly elevating.
This bombardment is a simulated attack of a standard Sixth Level wizard, a dark red high-temperature plasma torrent, its power incomparable to before.
Boom!
The first impact causes the entire testing field to tremble slightly.
The swirling runes on the surface of Ruins Armor suddenly brightened, swirling speed skyrocketing.
But when the smoke clears, the target remains intact.
The monitoring data indicates that facing the attack of Sixth Level sorcery, Ruins Armor can no longer easily devour as before and enters a "full digestion" mode.
Under the continuous full firepower coverage of a simulated standard Sixth Level wizard, Ruins Armor steadily supports for over an hour!
Until the simulated attack stops, the internal energy storage reaches 97%.
Approaching theoretical saturation, but the defense structure remains intact with no signs of collapse.
After several rounds of testing later, the testing field finally restores its quiet.
Jeming cancels the spell, carefully checking each rune and structure while reading all the monitoring data.
Finally confirming, the modified Ruins Armor can completely immune to any type and intensity of Fifth Level and below energy attacks, efficiently converting and absorbing for self-storage.
Moreover, it can effectively resist standard Sixth Level energy attacks, enduring for more than an hour under continuous saturation bombing.
Absorption conversion efficiency decreases with attack strength increase, but remains considerable.
However, the problem of Ruins Armor lacking defense against physical attacks still exists, fortunately with considerable improvement.
In the face of physical attacks, Ruins Armor can rely on stored energy to generate temporary physical force fields for defense.
If simultaneously enduring high-density energy attacks for recharging, the resistance to physical attacks greatly enhances synchronously.
If in a state of energy scarcity, the primary defense ability against pure physical attacks depends on the wearer’s own physical strength.
The most important aspect is that when encountering various special attacks like cause-effect erasure and time pause, Ruins Armor’s performance is quite exaggerated.
Before the spell is broken, it can almost allow the user to completely immune to these mechanism-type witchcraft.
Jeming is very satisfied with this test report.
He clearly understands, the "energy carrying capacity limit" of Ruins Armor itself has not experienced a qualitative leap.
This limit depends more on his depth of understanding "Returning Ruins Realm," which requires long-term insight, not just relying on technical optimization to breakthrough.
What truly causes such exaggerated transformation in Ruins Armor’s defense capability is the massive enhancement of another key parameter—energy digestion and transformation speed!
Over the past decade, to understand the concepts of "Ruins," "devouring," "end," he devoured and analyzed a massive amount of related Plane Origin knowledge.
Although he has yet to truly grasp the core of Realm, the vast and detailed knowledge regarding energy absorption mechanisms, matter decomposition paths, information entropy growth control, energy transformation efficiency, and so on have long deeply imprinted in his consciousness.
Thus, when reconstructing the energy handling array within the spell model of Ruins Armor, he unknowingly integrated these top-tier knowledge on "efficient devouring and transformation."
The final result allows the transformed Ruins Armor, regarding the "digestion speed" of stored energy and the "transformation speed" into usable energy or defensive power, to enhance over a hundred thousand times compared to the theoretical value of the original spell!
This is the fundamental reason why this theoretically only Fourth Level spell can face Sixth Level wizards head-on.
This means, as long as the attack’s "instantaneous intensity" does not exceed some terrifying threshold, any sustained energy bombardment, in front of Ruins Armor, is more like an incessant "power bank."
It can, in a very short time, convert the incoming fierce energy into its own strength.
"Knowledge, indeed is the primary productive force." Jeming perceives the spell model in the Sea of Spirit, feeling a sense of achievement.
He is also quite satisfied with his research efficiency.
Ten years, achieving deep modification of a top-tier protective spell with such results at a speed far surpassing many same-level wizard research projects.
However, he does not immediately invest in the modification of Cause and Effect Tracing Technique and Void Step.
Because just a few years ago, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the three treasures, have returned to a state of flawless perfection, balancing and complementing each other.
The adaptive evolution potential of the body is once again awakened.
"It’s time to restart the Time Residue training."
