Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 367: Adam’s Glory

They finally solved it! I cannot believe it. The young man who was watching the television shouted in excitement. He wasnt alone. Everywhere in Unity, people of science or high standing were cheering for the latest scientific breakthrough.

I cant believe they are sharing it without holding anything back. Although only people who have access to energy can watch it, it is still benevolent of them. An elder man said.

I am more interested in future breakthroughs this can lead to. Another said in excitement.

What do you mean?

What if in the future there appear Triple Elemental Orbs or Quadral?

That sounds like a fantasy.

So did the Dual Elemental at first.

The hype was about dual elemental orbs. Not long ago, Adam, one of the head scientists of Unity figured out how to create more dual elemental orbs. For so long, The Marooner was the only one who could produce them and they sold like hot potatoes. But they were rare after all.

But Adam found a way to produce more and was even going to publish the method for free.

The citizens of Unity. My fellows, sisters, and brothers. The day has arrived for us to take another step into the future, like today. I will teach everyone how to create a new tool in our battle against monsters. Adam stood on the stage and looked at the people who were watching him from below expectedly.

The secret of dual elemental orbs has been bothering me ever since The Marooner sold the first one. And with the help of the experiments my sister, Evelyn Cross, conducted, we learned some of the details. But only recently did I discover the method. The Marooner used Elemental Minerals to melt the orbs and merged them in a furnace. It sounds complicated but in fact, it is not. Unlike forging, orb merging does not require any mastery over forging. Adam explained with gusto.

It cant be! A woman stood up and raised her hand. Marooner was only Grace-Rank when he sold the first Dual Elemental Orb. How can he have access to Elemental Minerals that only appear in inner circles?

After the question, many nodded and expressed their agreement. Many people had seen Marooner in the stronghold. He was also Grace-Rank when he battled with Starve Cleric. It was impossible for him to find Elemental Minerals.

That is true that it is highly unlikely for a person to chance upon Elemental Minerals in G-Circle, but you are forgetting that he might have gotten some on Earth. Adam smiled as he answered. As if it just dawned on people, the audience looked at Adam in awe.

What a waste of heavenly materials! A man lamented.

But how will this help us? Dual Elemental Orbs aren't worth wasting Elemental Minerals, right? Another asked.

They do not. Adam nodded sagely. But Elemental Minerals are just one way of doing things.

Did you find a way? Asked the audience.

I certainly did. Adam nodded and the screen behind him lit up. On the screen, there was a woman wearing a lab coat standing near a table. On the table, there were two orbs. Both orbs were on the testing device, which showed their results. The orbs were low-tier, Grunt-Rank. One was lightning elemental and the other one was water elemental. Both were swords.

Elemental Minerals are natural treasures that can supply elemental energy to whatever they are connected to. The reason why they can achieve the merging is that they are in the same frequency. All elemental minerals have the same energy output. That balance allows orbs to merge. At the same time, the imbalance during the merging when done manually by humans also disallows the process. Adam explained the theory as people were listening in awe.

But, what if a person could unleash two different elements at the same time? Adam smiled as he gave the signal. The woman on the screen unleashed two different elemental abilities from each hand and touched the orbs. Since both energies originate from the same person, their frequency is the same. Of course, this is not easy to master, but achievable nonetheless.

Soon, both orbs turned red under the influence of the energy and started to melt. And in front of millions of people, two melted orbs united into one and took the shape of an orb once again.

The woman mopped the sweat from her forehead and put the new orb on the machine. After a few seconds, the machine biped, and the result was in front of everyone. A sword orb with lightning and water elements.

This is incredible!

Amazing!

Discovery of the century!

It is still a rare thought. I dont think anyone can do it. An elderly person said. He was a Colonel in the army.

It is true, after all, not many people have dual elemental powers. Another nodded.

Not many can achieve the mastery of energy output either.

Although it is something big.

Adam looked at the audience in satisfaction and basked in glory. Lorthew, I stood on top of the giants to find a way that can take me further ahead. The clues you and the Marooner gave me allowed me to find this method. You may have told me to find my own way, but giants who offer their shoulders must be stepped on, otherwise, the distance we can go is limited.

You know too much. Much more than anyone I ever saw. But you failed to recognize this truth. Does that make me better than you, Lorthew?
