If the time flow is slowed down, will the power of time not dissipate, or even tend to converge to the "inside"?

This is a bit like water boiling and evaporating in a vacuum to become free water molecules, but as long as the pressure is right, it will condense into liquid water droplets again.

Xia Duo guessed that the time acceleration area is compared to the vacuum or the process of vacuuming, and the time power in the time gem is equivalent to liquid water.

When the time acceleration reaches a certain threshold, the time gem can no longer bind the time power in it, and the specific manifestation is that the time power in the time gem dissipates.

If it is combined with certain collection methods, it can be collected again, which is also the method Xia Duo used to collect the time power.

But at that time, there was only one source of time power, the time gem. If there were other sources, his method would not be suitable, so a more general method was needed.

So he thought of artificially creating an area where the time flow was slowed down!

If there was free time power at this time, could it be condensed and then collected?

By alternating between time acceleration and deceleration, the power of time can be continuously collected from places where the power of time may appear. The former turns the condensed power of time into a free state, while the latter is responsible for collecting it.

Xia Duo even suspected that the "orthodox" way to collect the power of time might be like this, without relying on any innate abilities.

The former is considered "technology", while the latter is "mutation".

In comparison, Xia Duo still recognizes the "orthodox" path more. He even thinks that if Daphne's power of time comes from innate abilities, its principle may also be achieved through time acceleration and deceleration.

...

Whether Xia Duo's guess about the power of time is correct or not, and whether there is any problem with the design of the magic weapon, will be revealed next.

Xia Duo expects a miracle to happen, but if there is no miracle, he will not be too disappointed. After all, it has not reached the point of being really exhausted, so he will think of other ways. He has enough time to find it.

Then, he closed the time acceleration array, and at the same time, the layers of hollow mithril balls inside the time flow regulator in his hand also slowed down their rotation speed almost synchronously.

Although it is still rotating, at least for people with good eyesight, it is enough to see its internal structure and running trajectory.

The state of the time flow regulator at this time represents the state of the current environment relative to the power of time itself.

If you change to a place where the time flow is faster than the main plane, such as the annihilation plane of the Seven Towers, then the rotation speed of the hollow mithril ball inside the time flow regulator will be faster than in the normal environment of the main plane.

So, although this prop is used to adjust the time flow, it can also be used to indicate the standard time flow relative to the power of time itself in the current environment.

From this step, even when he was just in the time acceleration area, Xia Duo could almost judge the success or failure of this key prop through its rotation state.

It was probably successful!

And now, back in the normal environment, the time flow regulator has indeed changed as expected, which further proves that its function and design in this regard are no different.

The next step is further verification.

If there is no additional time acceleration array to provide time acceleration, then the time flow regulator can adjust the time flow in an area by itself, as its name suggests!

Soon, as Xia Duo started to operate, the hollow mithril ball inside the time flow regulator began to rotate faster, and at the same time, he also observed that the light in the surrounding environment was rapidly dimming.

This is enough to show that he is in a time acceleration environment at this time, but more clear evidence is that there is a special [Magic Moment] outside the time acceleration area of ​​the No. 1 ritual site to remind time.

The speed of its rune change perfectly matches the acceleration multiple set by the time flow regulator.

Then, Xia Duo tried to slow down the time flow, which was also perfectly in line with expectations. These are actually not accidents. After all, he has used the time acceleration array for a long time, and even designed a [Time Barrier] for single-person protection.

And the [Time Barrier] can actually be regarded as a portable time flow regulator, but it does not have the function of collecting the power between.

The current time flow regulator is more professional, and it also has the function of collecting the power of time by alternating between time acceleration and deceleration. It can even be said that the latter is the core function of this key item!

Then, with a hint of expectation, Xia Duo adjusted the state of the time acceleration regulator to the collection mode, that is, the state of continuous alternation of time acceleration and deceleration.

Xia Duo himself did not have any special feelings in this environment, but just felt that the brightness of the environment was also alternating between light and dark.

But this is a normal phenomenon that the external light is "diluted" or "converged" when entering the time acceleration and deceleration area, and it has nothing to do with oneself.

In fact, for individuals in the time acceleration or deceleration area, his various behaviors and states are still the same as in the normal environment. At most, the movements are a bit weird in the eyes of outsiders, that's all.

If the flow rate of time can change the state of the individual, then when the caster goes to a plane with a different flow rate of time, he will need to protect himself from the damage caused by time itself. In fact, this is not necessary.

…

After waiting for about ten minutes for self-awareness, Xia Duo showed a regretful expression. He failed to find the power of time collected in the time flow regulator.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

He was not sure whether the failure to collect the power of time was because the regulator itself did not meet the requirements and was unable to "draw" the free power of time out of thin air, or because the idea was wrong from the beginning.

But it is not a problem to collect the power of time in the time gem. He remembers the relevant parameters and has tried it several times in different timelines before.

There should be no surprises this time.

However, Xia Duo was still a little disappointed that he could not "draw" the power of time out of thin air. This means that the conditions for the generation of the power of time may be relatively harsh. Even if the relevant designs are improved in the future, the power of time may not be easily obtained.

From this perspective, Daphne's existence undoubtedly has higher value.

After all, this is the only source of time power that Sha Duo knows so far, and it seems that there is no price to pay. Is this the true value of innate abilities?
