Chapter 1756: Chapter 556: The First and Final Surprise (6k)

"Moreover, it might become a crucial test for the Radiant Civilization..."

The President’s earlier conjecture had inspired her; because the church’s believers were obstructing her, she needed the cooperation of the Radiant Civilization, which was undoubtedly reasonable.

"But the Magic Cube itself is still too lacking."

She lifted the two Magic Cubes in front of her. According to the feedback from the cubes, the originally full Power of Faith was already half consumed.

The cube with the largest consumption, the "Creator" Magic Cube, had less than 1200 energy points remaining. Even the better "Traveler" Magic Cube barely had over 1500 energy points at this moment.

This was only after a not-so-intense battle, merely fending off an attack momentarily before decisively withdrawing. In fact, the attack itself was pre-arranged by her for acting.

This simple action managed to consume nearly half of the Magic Cube’s reserves.

Far exceeding her original plan.

Not to mention an actual battle.

Logically, the Divine Arts used were just a few. Those 2700 energy points should have resulted in a maximum consumption of six to seven hundred, but it nearly doubled instead.

Normally, the discrepancy between theory and practice in real combat is understandable.

But this gap between real combat and theory is truly a bit too large.

Luckily, she did not participate directly in the battle; otherwise, it would surely have been a trap for her.

"Your Highness, the maintenance of the Divine Arts itself requires consumption.

Once these two Magic Cubes activate a Divine Art, considerable additional power is needed to maintain it.

Some Divine Arts even consume 100 points just as a starting fee."

One of the two witches seemed to understand Bai Yi’s confusion and immediately shared her feelings.

"Consumption? Right, it’s indeed my oversight. Divine Arts are not just about activation; not all Divine Arts can simply be cast and forgotten.

This is not a game where different power-consuming moves can be executed with fixed power expenditure.

Even with the same Divine Art, different Powers of Faith can be used for varying power levels."

Bai Yi was no fool. As the creator who developed the Magic Cube from scratch, she immediately understood and exclaimed.

It’s just that there’s no way to solve such a problem, or more precisely, there is no good way to solve it.

After all, this is fundamentally an issue with the Magic Cube’s storage capacity; unless this can be improved, any method she manages will ultimately not evade this issue.

After all, Divine Arts require corresponding consumption for their power, an unchangeable fact.

"In the end, it all goes back to the upgrade and remodeling of the Magic Cube...

Then the next step is clear: continue to increase the Magic Cube’s storage, and perhaps transform these newly acquired Elemental Elves into Magic Cubes...

What effect would Magic Cubes made from one’s own Elemental Elves have?"

Bai Yi felt a tinge of curiosity but soon her expression turned to concern.

The enhancement of the Magic Cube seemed easy to speak of, but when she created the current Magic Cube, she had almost exhausted all she could do.

Continuing further would significantly decrease the ratio of time spent to gain.

Without the introduction of completely new technology, the next steps would all require time-consuming and slow optimizations.

"Unfortunately, the Power of Faith is still too metaphysical, unlike real-world Magic Arrays where size directly correlates with ability.

Improving Magic Arrays is impossible unless they are turned into those large iron blocks; otherwise, getting larger is unachievable...

Besides, if that’s the case, it’d be better to produce a few more Magic Cubes; it might even be more convenient still..."

Bai Yi recalled the large iron blocks she recently had the witches create.

Even these, larger by tens of millions of times in volume compared to the "Divine Magic Cube," only had a total capacity ten times larger than a cube.

Instead, it might be better to just split the existing Elemental Elves.

To properly store Faith in each Magic Cube, at least one Elemental Elf is needed as a host.

For example, splitting the four Elemental Elves of the "Traveler" into four different Magic Cubes would reduce each cube’s recovery speed to a quarter of what’s currently for one cube,

but ultimately could store the maximum capacity of four cubes.

The solution is clumsy but effective.

"Then let’s start by creating the corresponding Divine Magic Cubes for the ’Cooperation’ Elemental Elf, increasing the number of the other two types as well for now.

Then gradually refine the technology of the Divine Magic Cube...

Speaking of which, Fei has been studying Faith Runes during her leisure time; maybe I could pull her in for research.

With Fei’s expertise in Faith and Divine Arts, perhaps she could bring a surprise similar to the ’Sequence Divine Envoy’ technology.

Alas... still too few Elemental Elves...

If there were just a few more, it would ease a lot of dilemmas."

Bai Yi sighed helplessly, but she knew that under the current circumstances, acquiring either type of Elemental Elf in the short term was out of the question.

Having made up her mind, Bai Yi turned towards the ship’s laboratory carrying the Magic Cubes.

Though the research is undoubtedly challenging, merely completing the first step of creating more Magic Cubes is not so difficult.

With existing designs in place, they just needed to be replicated using Metalization.

The only slightly challenging part involved modifying some details of the Divine Magic Cube to adapt to the "Cooperation" Elemental Elf.

In front of her mastery of core technology, extra calculations taking just a few minutes were enough to complete this.

"Oh, so after making the ’Cooperation’ Divine Position into a Magic Cube, it could actually have this effect...
