The river of time was forever flowing. All life was in the process of evolution. In just a short three hundred years, Aishi's tremendous changes were due to many factors.
The rise and revolution of magical engineering technology? The end of the Gods' generation? The population explosion brought about by world peace? These factors were all secondary. The most important factor was that the Dimensional Door had been opened.
The opening of the Dimensional Door brought with it enough danger and excitement. This caused most intelligent life forms and countries to focus on improving their individuals and overall combat strength. That was the true foundation of everything.
A tremendous amount of knowledge had entered Aishi, but that didn't mean that their civilization would improve.
In order to digest this new knowledge, they would need to accumulate enough knowledge. For example, only with an industrial system or engineers would they be able to copy other people's new toys. Otherwise, they would only be able to enjoy the show.
And if they completely copied other people's technology, not only would they be able to copy other people's technology, but even if they succeeded, their own civilization and technology would be gone. A similar example would be when foreign products overpowered domestic products, causing domestic factories to collapse and lose jobs. Since they would have nothing left, they could only follow other people's footsteps.
There were no disadvantages in the short term, but would they still be able to improve in the future? How far could a Universal Civilization go without its foundation?
Back then, the Aishi Main Gods and mega empires all had complex emotions. In the end, they decided to strictly implement the Mage Country's new knowledge system, allowing the Mage Country to specifically identify and absorb new knowledge. They would rather take things slowly than kill themselves.
The Aishi mages used all sorts of archaeology and investigation methods. They even dug out what little knowledge their ancestors had left behind. Only then did they finally succeed in digesting the new knowledge.
However, the results were gratifying. The Aishi People did indeed bring out their own "special products."
Magic airships absorbed the technology of the outside world. This technology included energy science, material science, magic circulation, aerodynamics, space navigation, and so on. The final product was the crystallization of magic.
Low-level, medium, and small airships weren't fundamentally different from before. However, the existence of motherships was completely different from before.
"Mana pool at 87%. First group, charge mage towers. Second group, prepare. Three, two, one, fire together … Third group, prepare. First group, switch out mages. Second group, prepare to fire together."
For the first time, the huge mothership Gloria revealed its ferocious appearance in front of the world. To be more precise, Gloria was the name that appeared on the bow of the ship one day.
Thus, the original name was scrapped. This Aishi -style name became the official name of the Game Church's mothership on that day.
Aishi's mothership-class battleship was more like a mobile mage tower than a mobile battleship.
Mana pools, a sufficient number of spellcasters, and standardized strategic weapons. The magic civilization of the new era used the method that they were best at to catch up to the vanguard of the new era.
One Magus Tower after another lit up one high-rank and strategic-level spell technique after another, lighting up one area of death after another on the battlefield.
With a sufficient amount of Mana pools, the Magus Tower was constantly supplied with Mana. Under this kind of combat method, powerful archmages were just ordinary staff on duty. Once they exhausted their Spirit and stamina, they would be replaced. The endless supply of Mana allowed the magic warships to transform into Magus Towers on the battlefield, where spells were cast furiously.
Gloria, who was an anomaly whose entire structure was made up of natural Lightning Strike Stones, had an advantage that other magic warships couldn't compare to. Other magic warships were just a single Magus Tower, but she … was a city in the clouds made up of hundreds of Magus Towers.
The reason? A portable mana pool was the core of a magic warship, and it was also the limit. Gloria's entire body was filled with mana pools, and the total amount of mana contained in that terrifying natural thunder stone was enough to blow the entire Harlet Wasteland into the sky.
At this moment, she opened up all of the flight decks. The 18 Magus Towers, which were divided into three groups, fired one after another. Some of the other magic warships had already stopped firing. The airflow and dust around her due to her continuous firing didn't dissipate at all.
The scariest thing was that her total Mana was still above 85% … and it was still rising slowly.
Yes, rising.
The magic power continued to rise in an unscientific and unmagical manner.
"This doesn't make sense!"
"This doesn't make sense! Where did she get her Mana from? "
"Even if she was a young Titan, there shouldn't be any reason for this. It's too much to make something out of nothing."
It was quite normal for outsiders to be unable to understand. Many strange new technologies were mysterious and incomprehensible magic in the eyes of outsiders. But now, the captain, chief engineer, and chief engineer of this ship were looking at them with a face full of question marks. This made it difficult for them to explain.
This was the first time that Gloria appeared in front of the world. She was abnormally unreasonable and unmagical.
It was likely that even if all the mages on this magic warship used up all of their mental energy and stamina, this daughter of Titan who possessed "endless energy" probably wouldn't run out of Mana.
Aishi's researchers weren't idiots. The researchers behind them had already come up with a possible conclusion.
Nobody would be able to make something out of nothing. Gloria was definitely absorbing something, decomposing something, or absorbing something. Was it the mist of Chaos? Was it the endless lightning clouds in the sky? Or was it the endless lightning from the Thunder Elemental Plane?
The most likely possibility was that Titan Wood possessed a Thunder God Equipment. Rorschach was the one who suggested this possibility.
"Thunder always feels like it has something to do with energy. Wood is quite pitiful. The God Equipment he's using might not even be his anymore. Don't lose your weapon while fighting … "
In midair, Rorschach had many thoughts as he watched this scene unfold before him.
Rorschach suggested this possibility, and the researchers behind him instantly came up with a verification result. They viewed this as the most likely possibility, and this was determined by the nature of the God Equipment.
Thunder was already recognized as the soul power of the four elements, and Mana was originally a derivative of the soul. If soul power was limitless, then wouldn't Mana be limitless as well?
This was a ridiculous and unreasonable reasoning, but it was quite logical.
"Isn't this cheating?"
At this moment, everyone who knew about this was amazed at the power of a God Equipment that was at the level of one of the four elements. They also made up their minds to obtain it.
"We definitely can't give such a cheating item to our enemies."
Gloria was just an extension of her ability, and it was already so powerful that it was practically cheating. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a God Equipment?
He was able to come up with this conclusion because he could also sense a certain existence calling out to him from where the volcano Titan was sealed.
Rorschach shook his head. Now wasn't the time to respond to the summoning.
However, Gloria's sudden increase in power was a good thing for his side, and for Rorschach's current plan, it directly solved the most critical problem of insufficient Mana.
"… Since we also have an endless amount of magic power, then we can also challenge a Main God level existence."
