Chapter 2811: Superdimensional Instruments

“What exactly is a superdimensional device, that makes so many players wary to the point of not daring to approach?” Zhou Juanjuan couldn’t help but ask.

“I know this.” Levi immediately replied, “It is an advanced version of spatial power, but its destructive force is much stronger than spatial power. You’ve seen space explosion type props, right? The power of those props can far exceed nuclear weapons.”

“However, you can see that power, but the superdimensional device is different. Once it collapses, anything or anyone nearby will basically evaporate in an instant, so no one dares to risk their life attacking a superdimensional device.”

He knew quite a bit and after a pause added, “But I hear there are many types of superdimensional devices. Some can destroy, some are self-destructive, like this one made into a simple shield which is more common. Generally, it can maintain a stable state. It is definitely more stable than barriers formed by props, but no one dares to take that gamble.”

“At Rank-A Wormhole Points, the only superdimensional devices available for general players to use are bullets.”

“It is said that these bullets connect to superdimensional space power at the moment they are fired, causing the person hit to disappear instantly.”

“I’ve only heard about it, never seen it, and I suppose such weapons aren’t accessible to ordinary people either.”

Xu Huo had a strand of superdimensional power sealed on his finger. From the first contact with superdimensional power, he knew that this form of spatial power could exist for a long time. It’s just that, similar to chaotic space, it is very unstable and doesn’t seem to have a fixed state.

Props can turn spatial power into weapons, and superdimensional power seems similar, except superdimensional power may not be as easy to control as spatial power, and simply stacking power won’t achieve the desired effect. Moreover, the cost of locking superdimensional power to maintain a long-term stable state is probably not low. After all, he managed to retain this strand of superdimensional space power for a long time thanks to the Water Rubik’s Cube, which is itself a super instrument.

If maintaining superdimensional space power comes at such a high cost, then obtaining superdimensional power directly from other spaces via transmission channels should be much cheaper, and this method could effectively lock the technology.

The small shield in the sky is indeed a combination of superdimensional space power, and while the area is stable, the device itself is included within this concentrated power, merely being made transparent.

There are no people around, and the device is out of anyone’s control, which means this device is basically uncontrollable once activated.

Xu Huo had already carefully observed the surroundings. The man clearing obstacles in the city seemed more concerned with this device, while some players ambushing in Zone 022 focused their attention more on him.

“That’s a superdimensional device, huh.” Lei Jie had lost interest in the “conspiracy” in Zone 022 and was urging Xu Huo to steal the superdimensional device, even trying to persuade him to return “My Heart is Dark” to her after getting the device.

“Do I look like a fool?” Xu Huo didn’t look at her and just replied indifferently before planning to retreat from the city.

Lei Jie immediately shouted, “Great fortunes come with great risks. If you’re so timid, why are you a player…”

However, before she finished speaking, the ground of the city beneath them cracked. Huge fissures swiftly emanated from the center of the city, instantly traversing the entire city, tearing more than ten-meter wide gaps in the ground that had been tightly packed and solid, and these fissures were not the only ones!

More than a dozen identical fissures spread throughout the city, almost instantaneously fracturing the city that had just suffered an attack. Large sections of buildings collapsed, many living people fell into or were buried in deep pits, screams were incessant, and the gruesome scene was hard to witness.

And all this originated from that figure seemingly from a Rank-A Wormhole Point, who held a cane prop in his hand. With each tap on the ground, he generated a shockwave, sending countless ordinary people into the abyss, while numerous players forced to escape upwards appeared as mere dust and flying insects in his eyes. He wanted to distance himself from the dust and intimidate the flying insects, so he chose to completely destroy this city!

“Kill him!” A player burst out with immense hatred once airborne, disregarding all else and intending to perish together with the man. Yet, earlier no one could break the man’s defense, and now it was hardly any easier. The man didn’t even glance at these players rushing at him one after another but instead released a head-sized spherical robot into the air.

The robot flew toward the superdimensional device high above.

Upon realizing his intention, the law enforcement team’s players could no longer hold back and stepped forward to intercept, though their approach was indirect. They didn’t attack the man directly but tried to force him back—when liquid metal formed a semicircular siege in the air to block the man’s defensive barrier, a player appeared outside the barrier, pressing his right hand wielding a prop against the metal. A tremendous force burst forth from the metal barrier, and as the flowing metal deformed deeply, the man and his defensive circle were driven back over a thousand meters.

But this didn’t achieve the law enforcement players’ expected effect. Dozens of players exerted combined efforts to distance the man completely from the superdimensional device.

Regrettably, this tactic worked only once. The man swept a floating prop forward, and an almost visible impact force, accompanied by successive space tremors, approached the law enforcement players one segment at a time. In almost the blink of an eye, this force broke through the man’s defense range, forcing the law enforcement players to retreat en masse—fact is, more than half of the players on the scene coughed up blood and died, while the rest managed to escape using props but didn’t evade the impact lightly, with about half showing symptoms of nose or ear bleeding.

This wave of law enforcement players withdrew, and the second wave bridged the gap. This time they used non-game field simulation instruments, attempting to nullify all the man’s props. But the man’s companions weren’t pushovers, killing several before the simulation instruments were fully deployed.

At this moment, Xu Huo’s communicator rang again. A new person was on the line from the district government, presenting a simpler request this time. They just hoped he could bring that man to a standstill, as the scenario where the simulation instrument wasn’t effective was the least costly option.

Watching from afar as the law enforcement players retreated again and again, Xu Huo merely said, “I’m not interested in meddling in Zone 022’s internal affairs.”

“Mr. Xu, feel free to name your price.” The other party made a new promise.

“I wouldn’t dare.” Xu Huo responded, “It’s clear there is animosity between 022 and that person, yet you keep saying you don’t want a direct conflict with the other party. I’m afraid that if I stop him one moment, he’ll be decapitated the next, and then it’ll be unclear who was really responsible.”

“How about this, since it seems like everyone is focused on that superdimensional device, why don’t you just return it?”
