Chapter 2: Creating a Demiplane!

“Energy output is still insufficient.”
The figure of the Fallen Witch appeared beside the two individuals. Although the test of the large floating ring seemed to have succeeded, Corinna’s expression was not very satisfied. She had a strong obsession with the alchemical knowledge of the Arcane Empire and the Floating City. Today’s test of the large floating ring was entirely completed through the labor-intensive energy consumption, which was far from satisfactory for her, a researcher who had dealt with elemental fission. Without the knowledge of energy cores from the Arcane Empire, relying solely on the meager energy of the Element Pool could only maintain the floating research.
The Fallen Witch glanced at Soren and, after a moment of hesitation, slowly said, “The energy from the Element Pool is simply not enough.”
“Maintaining this land’s suspension is already the limit of the Element Pool.”
“If we want to conduct more in-depth research on the Floating City, we must find a way to provide more energy!”
“I…”
At this point, the Fallen Witch hesitated again. She couldn’t help but glance at her daughter, Gloria, as if concerned about her attitude, but her personal ambitions made her unable to hold back as she solemnly said, “Soren!…”
“I want to conduct another experimental research on elemental fission!…”
A disaster from nature.
A destroyer of the natural world.
This was the result of the research conducted by the Fallen Witch, for which she was wanted by the Druid Order, forcing the higher-ups of the Northern Witch Council to exile her to White Horse City.
To be honest, the Fallen Witch didn’t feel great about this.
However, as a top-tier wizard, she shared many similarities with scientists from her past life. She had always hoped for another chance to conduct research, but reality offered her no opportunities at all.
Soren fell silent in response.
Gloria also fell silent.
The silence between the two made the Fallen Witch’s expression suddenly very dejected; she seemed at a loss for words.
Elemental fission research.
This thing is somewhat akin to atomic bomb research, though it’s probably even more dangerous. Initially, the Fallen Witch’s research was supported by the Northern Witch Council. They provided a substantial amount of supplies and manpower for this research. The cost wouldn’t be less than that of the Manhattan Project, and with Modo’s current financial resources, funding such research would be a heavy burden. Most importantly, the elemental fission in this world directly acts on energy, with the potential for uncontrollable accidents. It could be equivalent to an atomic bomb explosion.
The disaster caused by the Fallen Witch was indeed a horrifying explosion!
It seemed that there wasn’t much hope left.
Soren’s silence and Gloria’s silence drew out a hint of bitter smile from the Fallen Witch. She turned as if intending to leave, but at that moment, Soren suddenly spoke up.
“Wait a moment.”
Soren’s expression was grave, as if he was hesitating, and after a moment, he slowly said, “Allow me to think about it. How about I get back to you in some time?”
Is there a chance?
A surprised expression suddenly appeared on the Fallen Witch’s face, and Gloria looked at Soren in shock. She seemed to be unsure whether to speak or not.
To be honest, even though the Fallen Witch is her mother, she doesn’t entirely agree with her conducting such dangerous research.
It seems that Soren already had an answer in mind.
He gazed at the Fallen Witch before him, and in a deep voice, he said, “In a couple of days, I have some matters to deal with. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to return and give you a response.”
The Golem War.
According to the timeline, the Golem War should be about to break out.
This point had been mentioned quite early, including the appearance of the Legendary Sword Saint in this battle. The reason that Soren showed signs of agreeing to the Fallen Witch’s research was also closely related to this war.
It is well known that the Material Plane still retains some vestiges from the era of the Arcane Empire, and the outbreak of the Golem War is related to these ancient ruins. A large number of Golem Puppets from the Arcane Empire era emerged during the Golem War. All of these long-dormant Golem Puppets being activated would certainly require an enormous energy supply. The intensity of the Golem War is comparable to a war between kingdoms, and given the energy consumption needed to supply so many Golems, Soren strongly suspected that there exists a relatively complete energy supply system left from the Arcane Empire deep within the ruins where the Golem War broke out.
Modo City maintains only a few dozen Golem Puppets. However, the Golem War activates thousands!
The energy disparity between them is enormous.
The energy required to maintain the Golems would not be less than that of armored infantry from the Stellar Age. The Element Pool of Modo City can only supply energy for a few dozen, which can be understood as a power plant, but the Golem War operates like an armored infantry corps. If something can be gained from the Golem War, Soren might not have objections to agreeing to the Fallen Witch’s research.
………………
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Gloria had undoubtedly transformed into someone who takes action. The day after the Element Pool stabilized, she began preparing to construct the demiplane.
Creating a demiplane requires a high level of foundational knowledge.
For example, knowledge (planes), knowledge (space), knowledge (elements), etc. Generally, at least 500 points of knowledge is needed to meet the requirements for creating a demiplane.
Soren’s knowledge was insufficient.
As a deity, it was really somewhat embarrassing to be outdone in knowledge by a Legendary Witch.
However!
Soren was currently conducting research on the divine ability of [Alter Space], so when Gloria prepared to create the demiplane, he could still play a significant role.
The core part of the demiplane is naturally the Element Pool.
Gloria had already completed this part, so the next thing she needed to do was open up a small interdimensional space rift.
A deep, dark void.
Surrounding it, almost no light could be seen, only the faintest silver glow far off in the distance.
Gloria’s figure stood in the void.
This is the interdimensional space rift she opened up, belonging to an unstable space that could disappear at any moment. Next, she needed to connect it to the Element Pool she had established and then rely on the energies from the four elemental planes to stabilize this interdimensional space.
A radiant divine light appeared.
Soren’s figure also appeared in this small interdimensional space. He observed the surroundings briefly before nodding at Gloria and saying, “Let’s begin.”
Earth Element Plane.
Fire Element Plane.
Wind Element Plane.
Water Element Plane.
Under their feet, deep within the dark void, the energies representing the four elemental planes gradually emerged, and strands of elemental power were drawn from the four elemental planes and then injected into this small space. In an instant, Soren felt a heavy power; it was the gravity formed by linking to the Earth Element Plane. This was not the gravity of the demiplane itself but rather the gravity transmitted from the Earth Element Plane. Then came a wave of scorching temperature, as the temperature inside the newly formed dimensional space was considerably low, akin to the Astral Realm. For ordinary people, entering would be like stepping into outer space; only their strength allowed them any effect, while ordinary people would have died many times over.
Then came a faint breeze.
Thin air began to appear within this small space. At this moment, Soren could disperse the divine power shield around him, and those below Legendary status could temporarily move within this space.
Finally, a gentle moisture of water vapor appeared.
As the demiplane completed its connection with the four elemental planes, under the influence of the laws of the multiverse, a very thin barrier resembling a membrane began to appear at the edge of the space.
Plane Barrier.
A plane barrier, fragile to the point of being almost non-existent, was formed.
“Diameter of 15 meters.”
Soren’s perception swept across and confirmed the size of this demiplane. With Gloria’s strength as a Legendary Witch, she was only able to create such a large space at the start.
It cannot yet be called a demiplane; it can only be described as a very small interdimensional space.
Of course, if a deity were to create a divine kingdom, it would need to be much larger than this.
This space needs to be expanded bit by bit. The half-plane controlled by the Northern Witch Council has nurtured for hundreds or thousands of years. Normally, it would take Gloria decades to create a significant demiplane.
But who cares? Her man is a deity!
——“Saint Form!”
In an instant, Soren transformed into a tall figure radiating golden light. Accompanied by the divine power permeating this small space, the speed at which the Element Pool extracts energy began to increase rapidly, and this dimensional space with a diameter of only 15 meters continued to expand.
Deities possess the power of laws.
Creating a divine kingdom is a fundamental ability of each deity; this is a difference at the level of laws. It is not a simple power that can be compared.
Divine power value is continuously consumed.
Yet the space of the demiplane continues to expand.
30 meters.
50 meters.
100 meters.
150 meters.
200 meters.
300 meters.
………………
When Soren stopped consuming divine power, this dimensional space had already expanded 20 times, reaching a diameter of about 300 meters.
However, it seems Soren was still not very satisfied with this result.
“I can only open up such a large space.”
After resting for a moment, Soren continued, “I must reserve some divine power to construct this plane!”
“Then.”
“Let’s start with creating land.”
The divine power value is still insufficient.
At this moment, Soren had come to regard this as a practice for creating a divine kingdom. Creating a demiplane can only be seen as child’s play, as its suitability for life is not important.
But if what is being created is a divine kingdom, then it absolutely cannot be so casual.
——“Connecting to the Earth Element Plane!”
As Soren’s divine power continuous flowed in, the Element Pool beneath the void suddenly began to operate madly. The connection channel to the Earth Element Plane instantly overshadowed the other elemental planes, and with a massive influx of elemental energy into the demiplane, a tiny speck of dust unexpectedly appeared in the void beneath the two of them.
