Now that all the shortcuts were blocked, Blaine intended to try indiscriminately, just to see if he could stumble upon a solution by chance. Maybe he had just gotten lucky.
After finishing speaking, Blaine shut down the system, closed his eyes, and directly struck the vibranium in his hand with his mental power. Although Blaine did not know what to do, he always felt that it should have something in common with his magic-inscription technique.
He would just boldly try it according to the theory from the first half of the book on integrated magic.
Thinking about it, Blaine held the vibranium in one hand and formed a sword-finger gesture with the other. After meditating for a while, he began drawing directly on the raw vibranium material.
If there was any energy that was relatively strong and any magic Blaine was relatively familiar with, it was probably teleportation. After all, it was not used often. However, this time, Blaine was not in a hurry to test it with teleportation first. Instead, he used the circular magic array he had copied beneath Wakanda's vibranium meteorite.
In this way, some people might think that if he was simply inscribing the circular magic array onto the raw vibranium, then wasn't he still using the magic-inscription technique in the end?
No. Looking carefully at Blaine's hand gestures, the two fingers pressed together were like the bristles of a wolf-hair brush on rice paper. His strokes moved like dragons and snakes, vigorous and powerful. Although there was the structure of a circular magic array, it was not exactly the same. There seemed to be other patterns mixed into it. It appeared that Blaine intended to directly integrate several magic arrays from the very beginning.
If it were said that when Blaine used magic to inscribe techniques before, he was simply copying and pasting magic or magic arrays he already knew, had analyzed, and understood in terms of structure, composition, properties, and so on, then at most, he had turned them into something similar to a magical weapon.
But now, although the magic array drawn by Blaine looked similar to the previous ones, if one thought about it carefully, it was hard to imagine just how difficult it was to inscribe two or even several kinds of magic arrays together on the same magical surface.
Moreover, this was not the same as the rigid pasting and copying from before. To be precise, this was independent research and development, improvement and innovation, the creation of something brand-new—a brand-new magic. Blaine was conducting a great experiment. Although there had been predecessors before him, there might be no successors after him.
Boom... Clang...
Just as Blaine was earnestly and wholeheartedly immersed in the inscription, the expected thing still happened. It was not Stephen Strange being attacked, but the vibranium material in his hand exploding.
Yes, that was right. The vibranium had been blown to pieces. As powerful as other Universe-level magic arrays, the circular magic array truly lived up to its reputation. Even such hard vibranium had exploded.
In fact, the circular magic array itself was not to blame. It was Blaine's recklessness. If it had been a single circular magic array, Blaine was confident he could have inscribed it onto the raw vibranium material.
However, after integrating other magic, everything became unusual. When he had been inscribing it earlier, Blaine had failed to connect just one part properly to the circular magic array, causing the magical energy to boil and then explode.
"Again."
Blaine's temper was such that he never admitted defeat. What was more, it had only failed once, and it had not caused him any harm, so it did not affect the continuation of the experiment at all.
With a movement of Blaine's hand, another large piece of vibranium material appeared in his grasp.
This time, Blaine simply sat down cross-legged so that he could concentrate more fully, allowing his mental power and magical energy to intertwine with each other and jointly outline a new magic array.
After half an hour, Blaine's irregular spherical piece of vibranium was covered with fine patterns. Each pattern looked like a mountain range full of gullies and ravines, winding and twisting in countless turns. But if one looked closely, these patterns were all connected end to end, forming a new design together. It looked like a carefully crafted work of art.
"Done…"
"Haa…"
Taking a deep breath, Blaine finally recovered from the inscription task just now.
Originally, Blaine had thought that this attempt would take at least a few hours just to get started, but he had not expected to finish it so quickly. What was more, he had not expected that he would really get lucky, like a blind cat running into a dead mouse, and successfully combine the circular magic array and the Blazing Meteorite magic array on his second attempt. Blaine had already spent an entire day inscribing, failing again and again, but he really had not expected to muddle through and succeed like this.
"Thanks to the blessing of the God of Luck."
Yes, Blaine attributed all the credit to the blessing of the God of Luck. If he had not purchased this skill before, Blaine would never have believed that he had invented such a brand-new magic. Compared with people who invented light bulbs and failed hundreds of times, he was definitely a super lucky star.
However, Blaine supported his forehead, feeling his somewhat empty mental power, and the excitement from just now faded considerably. Although Blaine had successfully integrated the two magic arrays, the mental power consumed was far too enormous. He simply could not afford such consumption.
If this were during battle, rather than spending a huge amount of mental power to inscribe something like this, it would be better to preserve his physical strength and fight to the death. It was not worth it. It was not worth it at all. This experiment could not be considered a complete success either, because the drawbacks outweighed the benefits.
Forget it. The thing had been created anyway. Now, he should restore his mental strength first.
Thinking this, Blaine placed the inscribed sphere to the side and continued sitting cross-legged. The soul pendant on his chest continued to emit a soft light, constantly replenishing Blaine's spiritual power. At the same time, his meditation technique was also still operating, continuously refilling what he had lost.
Before he knew it, Blaine had sat there for more than ten hours. Counting the nearly ten hours from earlier, he had not expected that an entire day had already passed in the Hunter Space. Of course, one day in the Hunter Space might only be a few hours in the outside world.
This was why Blaine had come to the Hunter Space to experiment. The first reason was safety. The space was large. Even if something exploded, no one would see it. Even if he was injured, it did not matter, because he was alone anyway, and his privacy was absolutely guaranteed.
The second reason was that time passed faster here. There was no need to think too much about it. If Blaine wanted to figure out such a new thing, it would definitely take a lot of time. Scientists who discovered theorems and formulas often took decades, even centuries, to complete their work. But Blaine did not have so much time to waste.
