Witch Special

After the five beams of light tilted and finally converged right above the Monster Association, a mixed-color light ball was generated at the location and began to expand rapidly.

This is also a crucial step. Although the conflict between the five elements is not as severe as the opposition between the elements, there is still a very obvious relationship of mutual promotion and mutual restraint. If they are allowed to mix randomly without the slightest order, the end result will be an explosion.

Therefore, Lin Zhenxi needs to slightly adjust the incident angle of the five-colored light column to make the mixed-color light ball, which is now mixed together, rotate, and push each of the five elements of magic power to rotate in the direction of its mutual generation. Through the transformation of the five elements, all five attributes of magic power are transformed into earth attribute.

Therefore, that ochre-colored pillar of light was the endpoint of the Five Elements' rotation, its sole counterclockwise movement meeting the other four clockwise pillars. Thus, the Five Elements' mutual generation process was interrupted at the stage where fire generates earth. The vast majority of this energy was converted into earth magic, with only a tiny fraction of wood magic, having taken an overly ambitious step, skipping the wood-generating-fire stage and directly contacting the accumulating earth magic. Because wood overcomes earth, it was unable to complete the rotation and integration, and could only transform into the Xun phase, separating from the thick earth in the form of a light breeze and rising high into the sky.

As the beam's angle tilted slightly, the ball of light, originally a mixture of colors and beginning to brighten and whiten, began to spin in an unstable state. Under the combined force of several beams, the ball gradually transformed into a vortex, and the five previously mixed colors gradually became distinct. At the bottom of the vortex, more and more ochre-colored earth magic settled and began to extend downward. In the presence of this yellow magic, the ground was like a piece of freshly baked bread: soft, porous, and easily squeezed and molded into various shapes.

As the earth magic penetrated deeper, the entire area began to experience abnormal gravity due to the active earth element, and all surrounding objects affected by the magic became extremely heavy.

Because electricity is supplied as harmonics, a combination of three fundamental waves, the power in the power grid actually fluctuates between peaks and troughs at a constant frequency. This fluctuation occurs extremely rapidly, hundreds of times per second, often occurring before the previous wave even begins to subside. Therefore, electrical equipment can generally ignore these voltage fluctuations, calculating the actual voltage directly based on the average value. However, when electricity is converted into magic power, and then used to drive the elements, the situation is drastically different.

For elements, vibrations of only a few hundred times per second do not make the particles exhibit the same wave properties as light particles. Instead, they give the element particles more powerful kinetic energy, making them more penetrating and allowing them to penetrate more easily and reach places that they are usually difficult to reach or too lazy to reach.

As the vortex above gradually expanded, more and more earth magic was converted and gathered at the base of the spiral, forming an increasingly large spiral. Driven by the harmonic magic converted from electrical energy, this earth magic was given an increasingly high initial velocity and was ejected from the opening at the bottom of the spiral deep into the earth.

As their initial speed increased, their ability to overcome soil resistance also increased, allowing them to reach deeper underground. Then, all the soil that had come into contact with the earth element activated its internal earth elements, creating high-speed pathways that allowed the earth magic to flow more smoothly, allowing it to travel further.

The combination of these factors created a gravity anomaly extending primarily downward, its impact extending ever wider. As the earth element activated and its magic accumulated, the soil within the affected area rapidly transformed. It became harder, more uniform, more solid, and heavier, eventually merging into a single, ever-lengthening, slowly thickening, and denser pillar of earth and rock.

As the pillar grew, its incredibly strong, ultra-dense earth and rock column began to squeeze the surrounding soil, like a long wedge being slowly driven into the earth. As the column displaced the soil, the ground was most affected. When the energy accumulated deep underground erupted, its force was compounded. As the pillar deepened, the ground's fragmentation intensified, and the cracks in the earth became increasingly pronounced. Large swaths of the surrounding unfinished buildings began to collapse, and even Lin Zhenxi's building was no exception, collapsing due to the damage to its foundations.

However, Lin Zhenxi had taken this situation into consideration when designing this process, so all the magic circles were set up high instead of on the ground. When the ground collapsed and the original supports collapsed, these magic circles also became physical due to the sufficient supply of magic power, and could even be fixed in mid-air to maintain a relatively stable position.

The only magic circle set up on the ground is the energy transmission magic circle. After all, the cable cannot be raised too high, but it is also the area with the most abundant magic power in the entire complex magic circle. The materialization of the magic circle is enough to resist the impact of changes in the ground on it.

In addition to the earth magic that was constantly hardening the land, the wood magic that had turned into the Xun phase also rolled up a huge tornado in the sky above.

Weather changes are inherently a process of gradual, cumulative growth. With sustained influence, even if the initial source is merely the flutter of a butterfly's wings, the end result could be a powerful tropical storm in a distant land. Furthermore, the Wood Element magical energy now being transformed into the Xun-phase winds, rising into the sky and transforming into the storm's driving force, is truly substantial. Driven by these Xun-phase winds, a slowly rotating vortex slowly formed above Lin Zhenxi's head, growing ever larger.

While Lin Zhenxi was bustling with activity, neighboring City Z was suffering. With the sudden arrival of a voracious monster on the power grid, the load on the entire grid suddenly increased to an unbearable level. The total amount of electricity a power plant could supply to the grid was limited. When one location consumed a significant amount of power, the voltage in other areas of the grid would inevitably drop. When the voltage was unstable, most electrical appliances would activate circuit protection, forcing them to shut down to prevent damage.

Even circuits without protection logic, such as light bulbs, will experience dimming and visible flickering due to voltage drop. Such lights look haunted and can be harmful to the eyes if viewed for too long; it's better not to turn them on.

All complex electrical equipment with even the slightest voltage requirement—computers, monitors, motors, production lines, printers, shredders, fax machines—all shut down automatically due to voltage protection. Under the flickering light, every face, looking up with bewilderment, looked eerie. The ground was shaking slightly but noticeably, and the sky outside the window had become strange. On one side, it was a clear blue sky, just like any other day. But on the other side, the sky was so dark it seemed as if it were about to burst.

"Is that the abandoned city over there?" someone asked softly. In this gloomy, inky weather, everyone felt breathless.

No one answered, but it was clear that a terrifying weather storm was forming over the abandoned city area, just a stone's throw away from the main urban area of ​​City Z. So, would the main urban area next to the abandoned city area be affected?

Disasters are as commonplace to the people of this world as drinking water. Monsters are just one type of disaster. Besides monsters, various natural disasters are like a stage set, one after another, testing humanity's ability to survive. Human technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, but not only to cope with monster attacks; these natural disasters are the main driving force behind humanity's continuous progress.

After all, no matter how terrifying a monster is, there are heroes to defeat it. But what about natural disasters? Heroes capable of resisting them are few and far between. Only by relying on the collective strength of society, concentrating our efforts on major tasks, can we weather the arduous onslaught of natural disasters that repeatedly crash upon humanity like waves.

Without a doubt, fate had once again dealt City Z a merciless blow. The threat of city destruction once again loomed over everyone present.

However, events unfolded beyond Lin Zhenxi's initial expectations. The anticipated disruption never materialized. After City Z noticed that Lin Zhenxi had been draining a significant amount of power from the grid to the abandoned city, they didn't consider her the culprit for the natural disaster. Instead, they assumed that Lin Zhenxi and her Baizhi were fighting against it, delaying its onset.

This sounds abnormal, but in this world, it is a widely accepted logic.

When monsters attack, heroes fight them. But when natural disasters strike, the first to step forward are the government and leading local high-tech companies. Only the government can organize the orderly evacuation of citizens or take refuge in shelters, while the high-tech companies of this world are constantly developing cutting-edge technologies. Given enough time and the will, these massive corporations can achieve virtually anything.

To fight against natural disasters, what we need to rely on is not personal strength, but the massive resources in the hands of technology oligarchs and those black technologies that have not yet been made public to the public. This is something that only large companies can do.

Although Lin Zhenxi's roots in City Z were shallow, and Baizhi had only been established there a short time, the rather awkward reality was that Baizhi was already the most technologically advanced company in City Z, boasting the highest market capitalization. When a natural disaster struck, Baizhi was helpless to provide the necessary support. Meanwhile, Lin Zhenxi suddenly drew a significant amount of power from the power grid, almost guaranteeing she was using it to power some device to combat the disaster.

After all, if someone colluded with monsters, there might be a reason to explain it, but if a natural disaster strikes, everyone will be in trouble and no one will benefit. This kind of thing where everyone loses, unless they have already stood on the opposite side of mankind and are determined to destroy the world, otherwise no one will do it.

That’s right, [Angelica dahurica] extracts electrical energy, which must be used to resist natural disasters!
