Chapter 559 Breakthrough
The air of worldly affairs.
"Is the most effective type... the one that contains the most information per unit of material?"
Jemin frowned, lost in thought.
"No, something's not right..."
If ranked by the amount of information contained, the poison of incense offerings is undoubtedly the most bloated and heavy, because it carries the most complex malice of hundreds of millions of living beings.
Unrefined faith power followed closely behind. This order barely matches the actual combat effect.
"But if we only look at the amount of information, the mortal aura should be ranked second, but the information creatures' reaction to the mortal aura is the calmest among these materials."
"Moreover, if we only look at the amount of information, the spell model of high-level witchcraft is definitely rich in information, but even if high-level witchcraft directly hits those creatures, they remain very calm."
He tapped on the lab table, his mind constantly filtering through various conditions.
Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Jemin's eyes.
"wrong……"
Suddenly, Jemin remembered something.
What do those information beings usually come into contact with?
It is the "pure" information environment of the information plane itself, which is rule-based, clear, and logically rigorous.
From the dimensional structure to their own composition, everything is filled with order.
These five materials have one thing in common.
They are all "irregular".
The aura of the mortal world is mixed with desire, the aura of death is filled with destruction, the poison of incense twists beliefs, the power of faith is mixed with distracting thoughts, and the fragments of demonic spirits erupt with emotions.
It's all "confused" information.
"Could it be...?"
A flash of inspiration struck Jemin.
"What triggers their stress is not the amount of information, but the degree of chaos in the information itself."
He suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the laboratory.
Yes, that's it.
These information beings are like highly sophisticated supercomputers, capable of recognizing and being compatible only with "formatted" data.
The poison of incense is like a tangled mess of mud, forcibly stuffed into a sophisticated instrument...
It's not that the computing power is insufficient; it's that they are fundamentally incompatible.
"Witchcraft is a product of logic, so it can be reverse-analyzed by the other party. When suffering witchcraft damage, those information beings do not really react. But worldly desires, obsessions, resentment... these things are emotional, chaotic, and disordered from the moment they are born."
Jemin's lips curled into a smile as he continued to deduce the truth.
"And these information creatures' algorithms are too perfect. For these natives living in a 'perfect algorithm,' these materials filled with chaotic information are not weapons at all, but rather enough to destroy them individually... a logic virus!"
"No wonder the incense poisoning has the strongest reaction."
Jemin stopped in his tracks, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
After all, the poison of incense burning is itself a synonym for "chaos".
From its very inception, it was stripped of its orderly thought; the malice, obsessions, and resentments of billions of living beings were forcibly compressed together. These negative emotions became entangled and twisted, creating a level of chaos far exceeding that of the other materials.
Although the power of faith may contain distracting thoughts, its main component is still a relatively orderly will, hence the secondary effect.
Demon fragments are an outburst of emotions, but excessive outbursts of emotions are actually more orderly, so the reaction should be milder.
While the aura of death and the aura of the mortal world also contain chaotic elements, they are relatively "pure".
The aura of death is simply the echo of death itself, while the aura of worldly desires is simply the entanglement of desires. Both are chaotic in a single dimension, hence their minimal impact. "No rush, we can't jump to conclusions yet; we need more samples to confirm."
Finally, relying on the rigor derived from researchers, Jemin took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
He raised his hand, opened the magic network terminal, quickly entered the intelligence and analysis results he had summarized, and then clicked send.
[Intelligence uploaded successfully]
[Recipient: Expeditionary Force Command]
After doing all this, Jemin leaned back in his chair and waited quietly.
Less than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the laboratory door.
"Lord Jemin, Lord Martin requests your presence at the core camp."
Jemin stood up, a slight smile playing on his lips.
It happened faster than he expected; it seems the discovery he made was quite important.
The core camp was not far from the area where Jemin was located, but it was heavily guarded.
Along the way, we went through three security checks: mental energy scanning, law fluctuation detection, and information pollution screening.
Each one is several times more secure than a regular defensive array.
According to the wizard who led the way, it was because these informational creatures themselves had the potential to replace the wizard's soul information—that is, the so-called possession.
Although no such situation has been discovered yet, the camp is constantly updating various inspection facilities as a precaution.
Jemin cooperated with all the checks and was finally led into a huge metal fortress.
The interior of the fortress was much larger than it appeared from the outside, clearly due to the application of spatial expansion spells.
Hundreds of wizards stood on both sides, each exuding an unfathomable aura.
The weakest was at level six, while the dozen or so auras that made his heart tremble were all at level seven.
In the very center, the eighth-level wizard "Heart of Ash" Martin sat in the main seat, calmly looking at Jemin.
Jemin stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"I've met the wizard Martin."
Martin waved his hand: "No need for formalities."
He paused, then looked directly at Jemin: "I've seen the intelligence you uploaded. Now I need you to confirm for yourself: how confident are you about those conclusions?"
Jemin paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts.
"Based on my calculations, the probability is very high."
He stated frankly, "Based on the five existing valid samples, the pattern of 'stress caused by information confusion' is highly consistent. However, more samples are needed for complete confirmation."
"Five samples?" A level seven wizard next to him frowned. "The number of tests is indeed a bit low."
Jemin nodded and briefly recounted his two experiences entering the information plane.
Of course, he didn't mention the true origins of materials for cultivating immortality, such as incense poison and worldly energy, but simply referred to them as "imaginary elemental condensates created by relying on their own fictional laws".
...In a sense, he wasn't lying.
The high-ranking wizards present looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
"Imaginary elements..." someone murmured. "Those things are indeed rare. I didn't expect you to be able to create so many variations." Martin didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and pointed in the air.
The intelligence data that Jieming had previously uploaded was projected, and all the data, sorting, and analysis processes were on full display.
"Take a look at them all," Martin said.
A dozen or so level seven wizards and over a hundred level six wizards crowded around to examine the data closely.
Some whispered among themselves, some frowned in thought, and others directly opened their magic network terminals to retrieve records from previous experiments for comparison. After a moment, a white-haired level seven wizard spoke first.
"Based on the data, this pattern does seem plausible." He paused. "I thought back, and the squad I led before used chaos-attribute magic to attack those creatures, and the effect was indeed better than other magic. I didn't pay attention at the time, but now I think it should be based on the same principle."
"I've had a similar experience," another level seven wizard chimed in. "An apprentice accidentally used a mental pollution spell, and the information creature's reaction was much more intense than usual."
More and more wizards began to speak, submitting reports of unusual phenomena they had observed in their previous experiments.
Jemin listened quietly, his conviction growing stronger.
The discussion lasted for half an hour.
Finally, Martin raised his hand as if to urge everyone to quiet down.
"Since everyone agrees that verification is necessary, then arrange for someone to conduct dedicated testing." Martin looked at Jemin, "How much of your...fantasy materials do you still have? I can buy them."
Jemin quickly made a mental calculation.
He didn't need to worry about the other miscellaneous raw materials, as those could be produced by the wizarding civilization itself. So, what he could really sell were the three kinds: the aura of the mortal world, the aura of death, and the poison of incense.
Fortunately, he does have quite a few of these in stock.
"Enough to support more than a hundred tests," he gave a conservative figure.
Martin nodded: "That's enough, I'll take them all."
He didn't even ask the price.
Martin, the "Heart of Ashes," stood up and glanced at everyone present.
"We will select wizards from each squad who are skilled in mental pollution, emotional interference, and the law of chaos to form a special testing group."
"The testing team is led by Jieming, who provides technical guidance and reports directly to me."
"Produce a complete testing plan within three days."
Everyone responded in unison.
