Chapter 477 The Operation of the Magic Array

Lingjiu was completely taken aback when Meros suddenly extended such an invitation at this critical juncture. He was somewhat stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Lord Meros, now is really not the time to discuss this issue! If you still think this way after this operation is successfully completed, then I will definitely reconsider."

After a slight pause, Lingjiu came to her senses, gave a wry smile, and quickly said.

Upon seeing this, Meros's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

He seemed unsurprised by Lingjiu's reaction, and simply said it casually.

After saying that, he stopped dwelling on the topic and began assigning positions to everyone.

Meros's voice was clear and powerful. He told everyone in detail where they should stand on the magic circle. These positions were key nodes of the magic circle and were crucial to the stable operation of the entire magic circle.

The Lingye members nodded in agreement and quickly took their positions as instructed by Meros.

After taking their positions, everyone inserted their psionic stabilizers into the designated locations.

These stabilizers were specifically designed for this situation, and they are capable of effectively regulating and stabilizing the energy flow within the array.

As long as there is someone who understands this, and they can set the output energy level, even someone who doesn't understand it can stably output energy to the magic circle.

"Three, two, one, begin injecting energy!"

With everything ready, Meros took a deep breath and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone poured their energy into the stabilizer without hesitation.

In an instant, the entire magic array seemed to be ignited, bursting out with dazzling light.

It was a milky white light with a hint of emerald green, like the most brilliant star in the night sky, endlessly turning.

The beam of light contrasted sharply with the surrounding environment, making the whole scene seem dreamlike and fantastical.

Just as the energy was being injected at the crucial moment, and everyone was focused on the magic circle, an unexpected incident suddenly occurred.

Phib, who was originally tightly bound, suddenly twisted his body without warning.

This sudden twist caught everyone off guard, and no one knew whether it was intentional or just an accident.

His head seemed to be propelled by a powerful force, crashing straight into the nearest node.

The one standing at that node was Lingji, and Lingji himself looked rather thin.

So when Fei Bo’s head slammed into the node, Ling Ji also jerked to the side, as if it had been hit by a considerable force.

This collision not only caused Lingji to lose its balance, but also caused a corner of the entire magic circle to suddenly flicker with an unstable light.

The light flickered, as if the entire magic array was teetering on the brink of collapse.

Seeing this, Lingjiu, who was standing near Lingji, was startled, but his reaction was unusually quick.

He immediately adjusted the energy he injected, concentrating more power on that corner in an attempt to stabilize the magic array.

As Lingjiu injected more energy, she reached out and pressed on Lingji's stabilizer, simultaneously injecting energy.

Thanks to his efforts, the light of the magic circle gradually stabilized and stopped flickering as it had before.

As the light stabilized, the magic circle resumed normal operation.

Lingji regained her footing and continued to channel energy into her target.

Meros stood at the very front, presiding over the largest point of the formation.

Although he witnessed the “accident”, his crucial position prevented him from being distracted in helping Lingjiu.

Fortunately, Lingjiu was clever enough to resolve the crisis in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Excellent, I knew I hadn’t misjudged you. In such a short time, you were able to see through the key points of this magic array. It’s truly amazing! You do indeed possess extraordinary talent.”

Upon witnessing this scene, Meros made no attempt to conceal his admiration for Lingjiu.

"Let me ask you one more time, are you really not considering coming with me?"

However, he did not stop there. Immediately afterwards, Meros spoke again.

"Spare me, my captain is still here! Besides, I think it would be better if we could conduct research through official cooperation?"

Lingjiu was clearly caught off guard, and he quickly waved his hand.

Lingjiu inwardly groaned. Although he was a researcher, he was not entirely ignorant of the ways of the world.

He never imagined that the alien races could recruit people so arbitrarily, without even caring about racial differences.

After all, he was a true human!

Even though Meros has always advocated for peaceful coexistence between alien races and humans, Lingjiu doesn't believe he would actually recruit a human to work at the alien race's academy of sciences.

The risks involved are too great. If I actually go there and have any other ideas, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house for the alien race?

Thinking of this, Lingjiu became even more shocked, and at the same time, she couldn't understand Meros's behavior.

"alright."

"This does require the cooperation of human researchers. Li Si asked me about it before, and I said I would think about it. That's why I asked you when I saw you."

Meros's voice didn't reveal anything; instead, he readily agreed.

"Since you're unwilling, then I'll have Li Si go through the official procedures. It'll be troublesome."

When Meros heard Lingjiu say this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Ok, no problem."

Hearing Meros say this, Lingjiu also sighed.

During this brief exchange, they did not stop what they were doing.

The Lingye group continued to pour their energy into the magic circle beneath their feet, and as the energy continued to gather, the magic circle became brighter and brighter.

At first, the magic circle only glowed faintly, giving people a sense of being indistinct.

But as time went on, the lines on the magic circle gradually became clearer, eventually shining as brightly as a wall of light.

The beam of light isolated everyone standing at the center of the formation, so that they could only see the tops of the people around them from the very top.

"Don't relax, it'll be done soon!"

Meros's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone stared intently at the magic circle, silently praying that this final step would be completed smoothly.

Their hands gripped the stabilizer buttons tightly, as if that was their only connection to success.

"Press the buttons on your stabilizers, they're right next to you, and then increase the output power!"

Just as everyone was pondering whether the magic circle was complete, Meros's voice rang out again.
