Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

No, you're thinking too much.

This is not really an act against the will of heaven, because rather than saying that it is a system he created himself, it is better to say that he is standing on the shoulders of giants to look at the world. The principles and knowledge he drew on when creating a new magic system are things that almost every time traveler has mastered to some extent, which is what is called common sense in the modern world.

For example, the basic principle of water magic is to gather all the water molecules in the air, the basic principle of fire magic is to accelerate the movement of particles, the basic principle of wind magic is to use the difference in air pressure to cause air flow, and the basic principle of lightning magic is the discharge phenomenon caused by the friction and collision between particles...

It can be said that the basic principles of the new magic system are basically what everyone who has attended junior high school has learned, such as condensation, conversion of kinetic energy into internal energy, air pressure difference, frictional discharge and other common physics knowledge, so this time I can really do it even if I take over.

In addition to these magics with relatively simple principles, Rhine also created some magics with more complex principles but greater power.

For example, combining water magic and lightning magic means electrolyzing water to generate hydrogen and oxygen, and then using magic to compress the generated hydrogen and oxygen into liquid form respectively, and then mix the liquid hydrogen ball and the liquid oxygen ball together. Next, just put the fuel ball mixed with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen together and throw it towards the target. When approaching or hitting the target, release the pressure exerted by magic on the fuel ball, allowing the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen to quickly expand and atomize and fully mix together the moment they lose their restraints. Finally, all you need is another spark.

BOOM!!! This is much more powerful than the traditional magic [Fireball] in this world.

Moreover, while it has considerable damage, it is also extremely confusing. After all, any normal person will dodge when seeing a fireball thrown at them, but if they see a "water ball", they may not take it so seriously.

Or you can use the air wall created by magic power to construct a gourd-shaped launching barrel, and then fill a large amount of hydrogen and oxygen mixed gas into the bottom of the gourd. After ignition, the rapid explosion of the gas will spray out above the gourd mouth, forming an ultra-high-speed jet particle flow. In this way, a simple hydrogen-oxygen plasma cannon is completed.

It can even be bolder, because electrolysis of water can not only produce hydrogen and oxygen, but also heavy water and super-heavy water, both of which contain deuterium and tritium atoms required for nuclear fusion. So is it possible that he can also rub a nuclear bomb with his hands like Shadow-sama?

Chapter 5: Peaceful Country Roberta

"Not to mention that I have no idea where the nearest Magic Unification Association base is. There is no way this village can exist there. And the nearest town to the village is Hans Town, which is 20 miles away... So even if I want to go, I can't!"

Although it was only more than 40 miles, it would be about miles if you added the round trip distance. This was impossible for a -year-old child to do, right? Unless he could fly, it was unrealistic to travel miles round trip in one day.

In addition, this world is not a fairy tale world. There are monsters, bandits, and human traffickers everywhere. If something bloody happens on the road, such as being captured as a slave, or encountering bandits robbing the road, monsters wreaking havoc, etc., it will really be a big loss. Don't disbelieve it, reality is often more magical than fiction.

"Oh, if only I could fly." Rhine sighed.

In this world with backward transportation, the unique flying privilege of mages is definitely the most enviable ability. If it was not a witch but someone else who escorted him to his uncle's house, and if it was not by air but by land, then it would be impossible to cross half the continent from the Far West Empire to Roberta without a few years. Because land is different from air, it is not the shortest straight line between two points. Not only does it have to go around various dangerous forbidden areas, but it also has to go through customs clearance procedures in various countries along the way.

If going to the association to complete the job transfer task does not work, then there is another way, which is to find the mage's top profession [Witch] and let them issue the job transfer task.

But unfortunately... this method doesn't seem to work either.

It wasn't that Rhine looked down on this country, but that Roberta was really too small. According to his investigations and visits in the village over the past half month, he found that even if all the land areas of this tiny country, Roberta, which was known as the "Peaceful Country", were added together, it was less than one-fifth of their family's territory.

It's very simple, because Roberta is a city-state consisting of 2 cities, 7 towns, and 18 villages with a total of people.

To be honest, the land area here is not even as big as a county town in his previous life, and the population here is not as large as a township in his previous life. With these conditions, can you still expect him to find a few witches in this country?

Scarcity makes things valuable. In his hometown, the Far West Empire, the witch was just a senior civil servant. But in a tiny country like Roberta, her status and worth naturally went up.

So even if Rhine is lucky enough to find Roberta's witch, why would others help you, a 4-year-old kid?

Of course, Lobetta is not the only country that can be called a tiny country.

Because the witch passed through many countries on the way to his uncle's house, Rhine found that the size of these countries was pitifully small. After asking the witch, he learned that this area was called the Free City-State Region and the political system implemented was the city-state system.

No wonder, a main city plus a few small towns plus some villages together can be called a country. The characteristics of city-states are generally small in area, small in population, and relatively backward in development. Small city-states often have a population of only tens of thousands, while larger city-states can reach hundreds of thousands. The ruler of the country is both the city lord and the "king" of the country.

There are at least 200 city-states like Lobeta in this area, and the more famous ones include "The Country of Honesty", "The Country of Magicians", "The Country of Mercenaries", "The Country of Literature", "The Country of Flowers", "The Country of Snow", "The Country of Wine", "The Country of Desserts" and so on. Each country has its own unique culture and highlights, and the highlight of Lobeta is the word peace.

However, it should be noted that although the rulers of these city-states are nominally called kings, this is actually a self-deceptive name. After all, compared with landlords, lords, and city lords, the title of king is obviously more resounding.

In fact, the king of such a city-state is not recognized by other major powers, just like many African tribal chiefs who are also "kings" and have their own countries and people, but cannot get a seat in the United Nations, and of course are not recognized by the international community, let alone establish diplomatic relations with other major powers.

Because countries only establish diplomatic relations with other countries, not with a tribe. So what if they form a group like the United Arab Emirates? Of course, in fact, these city-states also formed the Free City-State Alliance, or AFLA, when dealing with other major powers.

Although Lobetta is small, it still has two main cities and many affiliated towns and villages, as well as a population of more than 100,000. This scale of city-state can be regarded as the big brother among the surrounding city-states. After all, there are many countries that really only have one city and a few small villages, or simply only one main city. Some even more extreme ones may consider a country as a piece of land.

We are not afraid of comparing good things with bad ones, but we are afraid of comparing bad things with bad ones. Compared with other countries, Roberta immediately looks tall and noble, and it is truly a general among short people.

So the question is, how did Roberta become known as the "Peaceful Country"?

It turns out that all the countries in this area are small city-states with few people. Even the strongest regional hegemon is just a city-state with four cities. Because everyone's comprehensive national strength is about the same, no one should look down on anyone else. The situation of equal national strength also means that the cost of launching a war far exceeds the benefits that the war can bring.

Moreover, the country that takes the initiative to provoke a war may cause public outrage, and the surrounding countries may unite to fight against it, and then it will be like two bread and cheese. In a one-on-one situation, the strength of the two sides is not much different. Now, it is good that one fights two, one fights three, and one fights four. If things go wrong, it may be directly divided up by others.

Instead of doing this thankless task, wouldn't it be better for everyone to lie down together and be the local tyrant in their own little piece of land?

Of course, the most important thing is that witches exist in this world. For a big country, a big witch is nothing, let alone an ordinary witch? But for a small country like a city-state, even an ordinary witch is a strategic weapon.

Because a witch is fully capable of destroying a small city at a cost, even if the war is won, the losing party may send a witch to replace the city in desperation. For a small city-state, a witch who can destroy a city is like a country, so witches can be regarded as the nuclear deterrence balance of another world.

The internal situation is stable and the external situation is united. This is the impression other countries have of the Alliance of Free Cities.

If they encounter an invasion by external forces, the hundreds of countries in the Free City-State region will become a united front, because they are well aware of the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold when they are gone", and they are also very clear about their own strengths and weaknesses. So even though their individual countries are small in size, they are strong in number. The regional military alliance composed of hundreds of city-states is not something that ordinary countries can swallow, even kingdom-level powers. It is estimated that only superpowers with a size of empire level can have the ability to bite off the Free City-State Alliance.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Of course, there is no need to overestimate this kind of military alliance. Although a million-strong coalition army sounds impressive, it is essentially an army made up of a group of rabble-rousers. Whether it is combat effectiveness, morale or experience, they are pitifully weak. They can only scare the surrounding countries. Once they fight with a real superpower, they will definitely surrender faster than France in World War II.

Being equal in size to an empire does not necessarily mean that a country's strength is equal to that of an empire.

Fortunately or unfortunately, most city-states are very poor and underdeveloped, and there are no mineral resources to be mined in their territories, which means there is basically no money to be made. This leads to the fact that the surrounding countries that want to fight cannot be defeated, and the countries that can be defeated do not look down on them. Instead of going to great lengths to invade such a poor place, it is better to switch to a country with abundant oil and water.

Due to the excellent matching mechanism of the Free City-State, coupled with the fact that there is no internal or external trouble, the geographical location is superior, and the king is respectful and frugal and loves the people, there has not been a war in Roberta for more than 50 years, and even minor frictions have only occurred a few times.

Rhine's uncle chose to settle down in this country because of this reason.

For him, the place where he lives doesn't need to be too rich or too prosperous. As long as he can live a stable and peaceful life with his family, his uncle will be satisfied.

Chapter 6: The Traveler - Rhine

"I can't waste time like this any longer. I have to find a way to become stronger as soon as possible. If there is really no other way, I can only ask my uncle to take me to the Magic Unification Association, which is closest to my home."

"Now is not the time to play dumb. Mom is still waiting for me at home." Rhine slapped his face hard and cheered himself up.

Although he had no idea about his cheap father in this world, he loved his mother from the bottom of his heart.

In a previous assassination attempt, Rhine's mother almost lost her life to protect him. Even though he would not have died even if his mother had not helped him block the knife, after all, he still had the protection of the artifact, but his mother didn't know.

It was also during that time that Rhine saw his father fly into a rage for the first time. He executed all those involved in the assassination without even meeting the murderer, including his seventh concubine. He did not even give her a chance to beg for mercy and beheaded her. As for the children born to the seventh concubine, they were deprived of their inheritance rights and driven out of the palace.

But was he angry because his wife was almost killed? Or was he angry because his mother's death would affect his alliance with his grandfather? To be honest, Rhine felt that it was most likely the latter. He didn't believe that a man who could kill his own brother without hesitation would care about his wife's life or death.

Three years of daily companionship, meticulous care, and the grace of risking one's life to save him have established a deep mother-son relationship between Rhine and the mother of this world. A large part of the reason why he is eager to become stronger is that he wants to go back early and run away with his mother, and before running away, he can kill those who have assassinated him.

He who does not seek revenge is not a gentleman, not to mention that he thinks he is not a gentleman, but a petty person who repays an injury with an injury a thousand times over.

As for why he didn't stay to inherit the Duke's position? It's funny, as a player, he who has a system, would he want a small Duke's position? Some people are destined not to be locked in a cage.

His stage has never been limited to the empire, the entire continent, or even this world. Instead, it is in the vast sea of ​​stars, in the prosperous three thousand worlds, and in the distant boundless time and space.

"Just now I was complaining that my uncle was too stupid for giving up all his wealth and glory to pursue so-called freedom, but in the end, wasn't I the same?" Rhine smiled self-deprecatingly.

Freedom is what he needs most now.

This planet is very big. According to his previous life, it belongs to the category of super-Earth planets, which are also known as "super-Earths". He doesn't know whether it is several or dozens of Earths. But he believes that if he is given enough conditions, he can calculate it.

In a book about the geography of this world, Rhine calculated that the area of ​​the "Panesia Central Supercontinent" where he is now is enough to match the area of ​​Pangaea in the Permian period of the Earth. You should know that the seven continents of later generations were split from Pangaea, which shows how big the Pennesia continent was. (It's so strange, why is Pan G considered a blocked word))

In addition to the Penicsian supercontinent, there are other continents in this world as well. However, because they are too far apart from each other, and there are many super-large marine creatures like Neptune living in the sea, few people can cross the dangerous ocean to other continents.

This world is also very exciting. In addition to humans, there are various intelligent races and mythical creatures, such as orcs, sub-humans (humanoids), dwarves, goblins, elves, fairies, dragons, demons, fishmen... and so on.

There are territories that have been conquered by humans, as well as areas that have never been explored by humans. There are secret realms with countless treasures buried, as well as mazes with rich rewards. There are sunken lost continents, as well as aerial continents floating above the sea of ​​clouds.

Where have all the gods gone?

Why did the era of high elves that unified the world tens of thousands of years ago perish overnight?

Why did the Demon King suddenly disappear after leading the demons to rule the continent?

Where did the heroes who overthrew the rule of the demons come from? Are they also time travelers?

All of this indicates that there are some unknown and shocking secrets hidden behind this world. There is no doubt that this is a world specially built for adventure. Rhine can't wait to grow up and start his adventure.

It's a rare chance for him to live a second life, so he doesn't have the time to play palace intrigue with those people. Whoever wants to be the Duke can be it, but he won't want it.

Besides, even if I inherited the title of Duke, which is second to none, so what? In the face of absolute strength, let alone the Duke, even the Emperor has to be polite to me.

Even if one could break through the divine realm, in today's godless age, even the world would be at one's fingertips.

Although the magic in this world is indeed very unfriendly to men, if it weren't for the fact that this unfriendliness comes from the genetic problem of humans themselves, that is, the male genes are extremely incompatible with magic, he would have doubted whether those magic powers were conscious lsp. Why do they only like women? And the more beautiful the witch, the more powerful she is.

However, even if the male's genes and magic are not compatible, it doesn't matter to him, because he never relies on training to become stronger but on adding points, and the breakthrough of realm is not linked to talent but experience. In other words, he has no bottleneck. As long as he is hardworking enough, he can become a sage or even a legendary sage in a few years, and he is not the bottom one but the kind with amazing combat power.

Not only does he have the assistance of the system, but he also has the artifact ring he got. It is worthy of the official cheat code, the 12-point protection is simply amazing. Although it does look a bit lame in the early stage, it does not add any basic (basic value) attributes to him, and the attached protection is basically passive and defensive skills.

But it is understandable, after all, among the 10,000 players who participated in the game beta, there are always a few lucky ones who can get weapon artifacts. If there are no restrictions on these artifacts, and they are all fired at full power, then those who get the Tyrant Ancestral Sword, Frostmourne, Fire Joy, Sword of Promised Victory, Xuanyuan Sword, Kusanagi Sword, Sword of Separation, Wrath of the Stars... won't they break through the map at the beginning?

It is more reasonable to say that it does not add any basic value to the artifact, but it will become stronger as the character becomes stronger. Because of this, his goal has never been a sage.

"Alas, the world online function can only be enabled after completing the job transfer task, otherwise I can go and play with Brother Jie, Brother Cheng, and Hedgehog Head. I don't know what their current situation is, will they disappear at the beginning?"

Rhine thought about his experiences over the past three years. He really had been hovering on the brink of life and death. He wondered if other players started with the same hell difficulty as him.

"Although this is a game, it's not a joke. If you die, you really die. This company didn't want to learn from SAO, and they even said they only gave us one life because they wanted us to play the game seriously... I hope these three won't waste this precious second life."

"I remember that Makoto's dream was to have a harem, and he kept saying that if he was Ito Makoto, he would never be killed by a hatchet, so when choosing a game world, he chose the daily life anime world without hesitation. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, there shouldn't be any danger, right? After all, the daily life world has the lowest degree of danger."

"And Brother Jie decided to be a repairman and chose the Type-Moon Heavy Industries world with vises, furnaces, and water pumps."

Before the game started, Jie was specifically told by Cheng and Hedgehog-head to save Ying, and if possible, to hang Erye and Chongye up and beat them to a pulp, preferably in a live broadcast. If conditions allowed, they wanted to tp over and do it themselves.

"The hedgehog-head chose the Magical Index world, because he said it would be a shame if he didn't become a leader with his hairstyle. In fact, this guy was attracted by Shokuhou and Misaka. He said that Misaka is his belief, the queen is his ideal, and Misaka is his dream."

"Good fellow, you're going to have a harem, and you're saying it so refreshingly and unworldly."

"The daily anime world that Makoto went to is okay. At least if you don't commit suicide, you won't be in any danger. But the Type-Moon world that Jie went to and the Toaru Majutsu no Index world that Hedgehog-Head went to are both high-risk worlds, and the degree of danger is relatively high."

"I hope everyone is okay." Rhine prayed in his heart.

As for Rhine himself?

Because he has not come into contact with many anime works, and he watches them purely to relieve the pressure of work. He is not a two-dimensional fan himself, so he doesn't have a paper wife that he particularly wants to see or an anime world that he particularly wants to visit.

Can he say that he chose the world of anime in another world randomly? If he had to give a reason, it would be that the feeling of another world is very interesting. Since people cannot be resurrected after death and life cannot be repeated, why not make the next stage of life more colorful? Anyway, for him, no matter what world it is, being able to live again is already a gain, not to mention that it is not bad to have an adventure in another world that all boys dream of.

Chapter 7: Magical Unification Association

"So you were on the roof. I spent a lot of time looking for you on the second floor."

Irena held onto the eaves and carefully moved to Rhine's side. She said angrily, "Why did you come here? It's so dangerous! What if you accidentally fall down?"

"Oh, I came up to relax. But, Irena, do you have anything to talk to me about?" Rhine didn't know much about this little cousin who was only a few months older than him, whether in his past life or this life.

Even though he knew that the other person was a character in the plot, he didn't make any special effort to interact with him. In the past half month, they basically just played their own games. They rarely even had the chance to talk. They only said hello during meals, which made his uncle and aunt feel helpless.

It's not because of any complicated reasons, there's simply nothing to say, nothing fun. Although he looks only 4 years old now, he was a father in his previous life.

What can a person who is almost 4 years old do with a -year-old kid? Playing in the mud? He couldn't understand why Kudo Shinichi, a sophomore in high school, could play so enthusiastically with a group of first-year elementary school students. Anyway, he really felt that the generation gap was quite big, so he didn't deliberately try to build a good relationship with Irena.

"What Irena! I am older than you, you should call me sister!" Irena looked so cute with her hands on her hips when she was angry.

"No, don't even think about it." Are you kidding? As a father, he called a four-year-old kid "sister". How could he have the nerve to do that? If we really talk about his real age, he is older than her father.

"Damn little fart..." Irena, who was about to lose her temper, suddenly remembered the task her mother had given her. She held back the words that were about to come out of her mouth and asked instead, "Are you homesick?"

"Yes and no." Rhine nodded and shook his head.

It was impossible to say that he didn't miss home, but the home he missed was the home of his previous life. Unlike the lonely and alone protagonists in most time-travel novels, he had a complete family in his previous life with both parents alive, a wife and children.

Accidents were not what he wanted, and time travel was not what he hoped for. Even if he was reborn after death, he would not be able to forget the memories of his past life.

Why is he so obsessed with the past? This is not obsession, but longing. Because in another world, another time and space. His parents, wife, children and all the people who loved him will not forget him because of his death. They spent their whole lives remembering him, so how can he forget them just because he started a new life? This is too selfish.

If he has the chance to go back in the future, he will definitely choose to go back, but it is probably impossible because it has been several years since his death and the grass on his grave is probably several feet high.

As for his home in this life... he didn't know if it was his home. Except for his mother, almost every "family member" in the family was full of hostility towards him. As long as his mother was taken away, it would no longer be his home.

"What does it mean, yes or no?" Irena wondered.

"Didn't I say it? Yes and no."

"I really don't know what's going on in your head. You're pretending to be an adult all day long." It turned out that in Irena's eyes, Rhine had been pretending to be an adult for the past half month. No wonder she didn't take the initiative to play with him.

"I'm wondering what freedom feels like." Rhine raised his hands above his head and opened his palms, as if he wanted to hold all the stars in the sky in his hands. The moonlight shone through the gaps between his fingertips onto his young face.

"What's there to think about? Freedom means you can go wherever you want, eat whatever you want, and do whatever you want!" Irene also imitated Rhine and opened her palms towards the stars.

"No. Freedom does not mean you can do whatever you want, but it means you can choose not to do something you don't want to do." Rhine said as he clenched his open hand into a fist, as if he was holding the stars and the sea in his palm.

"Is there any difference?" Irena tilted her head in confusion.
