c2708: 2709: Countermeasures (2)

The most important thing is that Angel still needs to pretend to not know, and cannot naturally continue the conversation.

Fortunately, the Wise Sovereign hadn’t finished speaking, so Angel didn’t have to forcefully respond: "At that time, I was with You Nu, extracting some research data. Little Bao knew our location and said he was coming to report to me, but in reality, it was to meet You Nu. He is very attached to his mother."

The Wise Sovereign briefly explained what happened before. What Angel cared about was not the content, but the fact that the Cyclops Little Bao was actually able to move?

"Can those holes move unrestricted by the Magical Energy Array?" Angel asked in amazement.

If this were true, wouldn’t You Nu be able to freely move within the Magical Energy Array?

The Wise Sovereign immediately understood Angel’s implication, "Yes and no."

Seeing the puzzled look on Angel’s face, the Wise Sovereign explained: "Her Magical Energy Array expertise is far superior to mine. Back then, to repay her for helping stabilize the space of the Hanging Jail Stairway, I gave her partial control permissions over the Magical Energy Array. In return, she granted permissions to You Nu and others to move within the Magical Energy Array’s range."

"For me, this is also a good thing, as I still need Little Bao to communicate with the outside world."

At this moment, Angel didn’t care to ridicule the Wise Sovereign for repeating the issue; he only felt a headache. She actually has control permissions over the Magical Energy Array?

How are they supposed to contend with her like this? Not to mention going head-to-head; if she were to make any changes in the Magical Energy Array, they would be finished immediately.

Seeing the change in Angel’s expression, the Wise Sovereign understood and continued, "However, the core of the Magical Energy Array is still controlled by me. I was present when she granted permissions to You Nu and others."

"Originally, it was evenly distributed, allowing them to move within the Hanging Jail Stairway’s range. But You Nu, considering Little Bao’s lively and active nature, requested to transfer her permissions to him."

"So, Little Bao is the only one currently able to move to the outside world’s holes. Big Bao and Second Bao can move within the Hanging Jail Stairway’s range, while You Nu’s own movement range is much smaller and further restricted."

"Furthermore, You Nu is too large; even with full permissions, she may not be able to move like her children. In this regard, she is weaker than her children, and it is impossible for her to swim through the Magical Energy Array."

Upon hearing this, Angel sighed in relief.

However, the fact that You Nu can still move within the Magical Energy Array remains troublesome for him.

"What are the restrictions You Nu faces?" Angel asked.

The Wise Sovereign smiled without answering, "This is your test."

Seeing Angel’s speechlessness but hesitant to resist, the Wise Sovereign found himself quite satisfied.

Truthfully, the Wise Sovereign was not intentionally concealing anything. The so-called restrictions can be found by simply observing the Magical Energy Array near You Nu’s location. If Angel couldn’t discern this limitation, then his Magical Energy Array expertise can’t overcome You Nu’s obstruction.

Then, it’s needless to start with the Magical Energy Array; think of other methods... As for what methods, he previously mentioned Kaier, and wasn’t just saying it for fun.

While the Wise Sovereign was pondering this, the Black Earl timely asked, "Is the space where You Nu resides stable?"

The Wise Sovereign was slightly surprised; he hadn’t expected anyone to consider this, and it was such a coincidence.

"Unstable," The Wise Sovereign implied, "Breaking through the void is impossible. Attempting it would pass through You Nu’s body, leading to active capture by You Nu."

The Black Earl felt slightly disappointed. He was indeed contemplating whether spatial transmission could be used to traverse where You Nu is, but it seems this method won’t work.

Despite the disappointment, the Black Earl felt some curiosity.

The Wise Sovereign could have directly answered "Unstable," but why did he point out his thoughts? The most important thing is the Wise Sovereign’s expression seemed strange, as if suggesting something...

If breaking through the void is impossible, what is he hinting at?

While the Black Earl was pondering, Angel spoke from nearby, "Can’t open a space door? That’s indeed a pity... So, can the Wise Sovereign tell us the Spatial Beacon of the Hall of Wisdom’s location?"

Angel’s words stunned the Black Earl.

Spatial Beacon?!

Angel is considering...

Before Black Earl could speak, Dox beside him looked at Angel with astonishment, "Are you perhaps thinking of crossing over using the Plane Corridor?"

Angel nodded as if it were a given, "Yeah, if You Nu can’t be avoided, and void-breaking doesn’t work, then let’s use the Plane Corridor. Could she possibly lock onto the void location of the Plane Corridor?"

Dox: "Well, you say that, but, don’t you think you’re being too..."

Too extravagant?!

It’s not like you’re escaping for your life, why use the Plane Corridor? Are the resources for your Plane Corridor wholesale-priced? Do you realize the resources for a Plane Corridor could breed how many Wizards?

Not just the frugal Dox, even the Black Earl found Angel’s words somewhat too straightforward.

The most important thing is... the Black Earl guesses Angel speaking so casually indicates he doesn’t plan to pay for the resources for casting the Plane Corridor. So who would? Undoubtedly, the one she truly aims to deal with, and that means the descendant of Noah.

The Black Earl could indeed endure the costs of the Plane Corridor’s resources, but it hasn’t reached that point yet... In fact, they could attempt to break the Magical Energy Array.

Ultimately, if that doesn’t work, then use the Plane Corridor, and the Black Earl would accept it.

Meanwhile, the Wise Sovereign was actually startled by Angel’s boldness. He had previously mentioned Kaier, indeed with the intention to remind them that if necessary, they could take the Plane Corridor.

But Angel now intends to directly request the Spatial Beacon, planning to skip the test and reach the end?

Isn’t that a bit too much of a cheat?

Moreover, the Wise Sovereign offered them this backup route to prevent any real accidents from happening.

The Plane Corridor can indeed bypass You Nu, but the Hall of Wisdom itself cannot be accessed by You Nu, with extreme space restrictions, the Plane Corridor naturally wouldn’t work.

At that time, the Wise Sovereign would undoubtedly play a role, extend the anticipation, only then would he actively remove the space barrier and allow them in.

That would be the final resort, the last path.

Are you ready to use it now?
