The others didn't catch the deeper meaning, but Ursman exclaimed: "What? Star Attraction Tracer? You can capture the increment?"
Tracers aren't a big deal, but 'capturing the increment' shocked everyone, causing them to look in unison towards Durken's Wind Mirror.
What is Star Attraction? Star Attraction is those tiny dots within the Master of Stars' body; they are the increment, which is why the Master of Stars is also called the Incremental Body.
Releasing the increment outside and forming it, it becomes the Star Attraction, which can instantly propel a great distance, then drag the body to move; this is the fastest movement method of the Master of Stars, sometimes quicker than Star Shifting when mastered.
The Star Descendant's Star Shifting can only move in a straight line and only shift to places they can perceive, and typically their perception doesn't reach as far as the Master of Stars', so they might be slower than the Star Attraction.
Only people like Ange have mastered an improved version of Soul Shift, which allows them to instantly reach places with soul nodes.
Star Attraction is the increment, and now Durken has invented the Star Attraction Tracer, meaning it can detect increments?
Durken quickly waved: "No, no, it's not increment. I don't have the capability to capture increments. I used another method."
"What method? Don't keep us in suspense, explain it simply, without using jargon only you guys understand." Negris warned.
Durken gleefully took out the items, obviously boasting. These guys have a bad habit of using jargon and listing parameters when boasting, often confusing non-experts.
Negris is merely a god of common (knowledge), while these creations have long surpassed common knowledge, so it fundamentally doesn't understand them.
If these guys were willing to worship, they could use the faith network to acquire this knowledge, but unfortunately, none are willing to worship it, and it's good enough that they don't ridicule it.
"Oh..." Interrupted early by Negris, Durken was somewhat disappointed, but after scanning the circle, except Ursman, no one seemed interested in his boasting, so he said: "I use spatial expansion to track the Star Attraction."
Durken explained: "Star Attraction is increment, when such a large increment suddenly appears in a place, it surely squeezes the original space. Once the space is squeezed, it spreads like ripples outward; by calculating the ripple's center, we can know where it appeared."
The explanation was simple enough; everyone understood. Ursman asked: "How far can it display?"
"Theoretically infinitely far, as the space ripple can spread to the edge of the void, but beyond a certain distance, the spatial expansion value is too small for my tracer to detect; it can only detect the distance from here to the Silent Death Sea." Durken said.
Anthony said: "It's already very practical, give me one."
"Give me one too." Negris added, and a dozen tracers were distributed.
Of course, Ange and the Monarch got theirs; the Monarch put one on and looked around, saying: "Why is there no reaction?"
Durken replied: "Maybe there is currently no Star Attraction around, let's wait, Gemez Fortress are on their way."
The Master of Stars travels by first throwing out the Star Attraction, then dragging the body quickly; when dragging the body, the tracer shows no reaction.
"How about this?" The Monarch said, then used a Star Attraction.
Star Attraction, anyone can do it! Rather than wait, why not do it oneself.
All the tracers sounded urgently, "beep beep beep."
Durken hurriedly said: "I added an alert feature; when the distance is particularly close, it warns."
Ursman asked: "Can it be turned off? During combat the distance will be particularly close, the alarm would interfere, constantly ringing amidst battle."
Durken said: "Of course I'm not that dumb; I'm the King of Alchemy, with thousands of years of alchemical experience, I wouldn't make such a mistake. It only rings once and won't ring again."
Unable to contain it, he boasted at the first opportunity, obviously very satisfied with this tracer.
Indeed, as the King of Alchemy, only by continually challenging new things can he find fulfillment; if it were old things repeatedly, even the Resting Palace, building many times, would depress him.
The tracer that detects Star Attraction is an entirely new device, a brand new concept, a unique invention; before him, no one ever created such a thing.
Realizing he's boasting, everyone tacitly ignored him, wearing tracing mirrors to look towards the Silent Death Sea.
Seeing no one paying attention, Durken didn't get annoyed; anyway, they must have heard, hearing was enough.
As Durken glanced around, he suddenly noticed Ange periodically put on and take off the Wind Mirror repeatedly.
"Sir, is it uncomfortable? Should I adjust it for you?" Durken asked.
Though the Wind Mirror has adjustable parts, it definitely doesn't fit as well as custom-made; if it's uncomfortable, Durken would gladly custom make one for Ange.
Ange shook his head: "I don't wear it; I can see."
Negris heard Ange's words and turned to translate: "He said he can see without wearing it; eh, you can see without wearing it?"
Translating complete, Negris realized Ange said something; seeing without a tracing mirror?
Durken slapped his thigh: "Indeed, I knew the Lord could see; he can see space changes, the tracing mirror calculates Star Attraction position using space ripples; the Lord can see the direction the ripples come from, he only needs to learn how to calculate distance, he can know distance without a tracing mirror."
Negris also slapped his waist muscle: "Doesn't even need to learn to calculate distance; he has the Libra Halo, directly sees the values; once he knows the corresponding value, he can directly convert it to distance."
"Lord, you are simply a walking increment tracer; this detection method is custom-made for you." Durken said excitedly.
No need for calculation, directly seeing values, only needing a conversion table; Durken regretfully said: "The conversion table can only be made by the Lord, we don't know what values you see."
Ange nodded, again putting on and taking off the Wind Mirror repeatedly, after over a dozen times, said: "Increment, expansion, with increment, then expansion, right?"
Uncertain why Ange asked this, Durken hesitantly nodded.
Ange pointed towards the God Star: "It, expansion."
Then turned again towards the direction of the Boundless Space Hole: "There, three, expansion."
"Three expansions? Three increment sources?" Negris translated in shock.
