Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1125 - 153: Chase and Battle

"Tick... tick..." The instrument’s beeping was steady and cold.

In the brightly polished laboratory, it was very quiet. On a bed resembling an operating table in the center lay a girl, with several long, thin neural sensing wires connected to her wrist. Above her head, six probes maintained a rotating silver-blue crystal, its shape constantly changing, sometimes shrinking into a cube, other times growing and extending like a crystal cluster.

With a slight sound of ice splitting, the crystal suddenly took shape, forming a cube as transparent as glass. The inside seemed different, as light passing through it resulted in a slight distortion.

Soon, the girl on the bed opened her eyes, looked at the crystal above her head, then reached out to let it fall into her palm. She sat up, carefully sensing and observing it.

"It seems the method is feasible, but the required magic power is extraordinarily special." The girl pondered.

According to her previous assumptions, if she only supplied the primer and used other methods to provide the magic power, ripping open a large space should be feasible.

Now what she held in her hand was a seed of subspace. Once activated with magic power, it could temporarily tear open space, forming a secondary subspace.

However, to date, it only validated the possibility; there was still a long way to go in terms of converting magic power supply, stabilizing processes, perfecting safety measures, and reducing material losses.

Tilan lightly jumped off the bed and exited the laboratory, then entered the adjacent hall where many ’Grey Dust Crystal’ researchers and technicians had already gathered, including several Sequence 7 master-level figures.

"According to our calculations, Miss Tilan, the efficiency of your spatial extraordinary abilities is quite unique." An elderly professor with gray-white hair and glasses spoke excitedly, as if he had discovered a treasure.

For ordinary transcendents, even if skilled in spatial abilities, using them is not only troublesome but also hugely consuming, which is why they are rarely used as offensive measures, generally serving as support. However, for Tilan, it seems that she only requires one-thousandth of the energy others do, yet she can achieve the same, if not better, results, no wonder the professor was thrilled.

If such abilities could be popularized, it would indeed mark a revolutionary development, as spatial abilities have countless applications.

"Thank you, let’s discuss this next time." At this point, Tilan was already surrounded by several enthusiastic researchers, forcing her to raise her hand and gesture that she was a bit tired and wished to talk later.

These researchers were truly relentless, as if they wished to dissect her. Tilan felt a bit scared.

Fortunately, her identity was not ordinary. After clearly expressing her wish, they had to restrain themselves and stop in their tracks.

For the following period, Tilan mostly stayed with the Grey Dust Crystal group, not only keeping an eye on the subspace project’s progress but also taking the rare opportunity to learn some potion concoction and crystal production knowledge herself. By the time she learned about the internal upheaval within the Federation, several months had passed.

...

On May 19, the starship carrying Blanchi traveled across the Central Star Domain. Despite making numerous preparations midway, like avoiding main routes and steering clear of the Federation’s detection sites, the matter was ultimately exposed.

When the accompanying Court of Judgment members failed to respond for three hours straight, the headquarters of the Court of Judgment in the Central Star Domain issued an emergency notice to begin a network-wide search for updates about the missing starship, informing all route control centers to conduct strict inspections and enforce some degree of regulation.

About six hours later, the Federation’s most advanced ’Trace Lightwing Class’ superluminal starship arrived at the last emitted signal’s location and began tracking the target’s whereabouts based on residual spatial traces.

Twelve hours later, all hyperspatial routes in the Central Star Domain were announced to be shut down, and three patrol fleets began to blockade the critical paths.

Superluminal travel can be achieved in various ways. If transitioning through the Aijieka Sea, a clear space beacon is necessary. Otherwise, once in the high-dimensional space of the Aijieka Sea, exiting will depend on luck. If the space at the emergence point is turbulent, the entire starship faces the risk of being ripped apart and twisted.

During wartime, all star domains would install spatial disruptors to prevent enemies from using transitions to attack the rear.

Besides the Aijieka Sea method of superluminal travel, a commonly used alternative is the curvature engine. Although slower, it offers much greater safety, allowing evasion of various disturbances and interruptions, steadily approaching the destination, even in wartime.

The Polarized Crystal Star Domain lies on the northwest side of the Central Star Domain, a relatively isolated area with few routes.

Following the Central Council’s order, the starports here temporarily ceased operations, leaving many tourists stranded, sitting in the halls complaining and ranting. When many were discussing what had happened to cause the starport to cease operations, a wave of exclamations erupted from near the window.

Through a transparent glass and metal curtain wall about 20 meters high, some passengers saw several bright spots flashing in space, and even fighter jets patrolling, occasionally firing light spots, undoubtedly a skirmish.

"Is there a war?" Many were incredulous. The original complaints vanished instantly, replaced by curiosity and tension, feeling anxious.

Thousands of kilometers outside the starport, a starship sped past while five white-winged blue-edged transdimensional fighters hovered around it.
