The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 850: Mystery Law



After Vaan introduced Marchioness Belline and her two daughters to the pure mana-enriched land of the subterranean region, they were immediately spellbound by its unimaginable

purity.

It only took them a brief moment of contact to realize how easily they could control pure

mana.

They were greatly shocked to discover such simplicity of control was even possible.

Nevertheless, after they settled down and started absorbing pure mana from the surroundings for their cultivation, they were quickly immersed in it and forgot about everything else.

As such, Vaan quietly left so he wouldn't disturb them. How much they could achieve would depend on their effort and talent.

Meanwhile, many High Witches from the first batch of battle witches had already reached the Peak-stage High Witch rank after their full week of cultivation. Some even managed to reach Half-step Transcendent Witch rank.

Evidently, they were more talented than Vaan had given them credit for.

However, if he were to re-evaluate Pangean humans, he would know that they were, in general, more talented than other humans in his past lives.

If he also had to guess, he figured it most likely had something to do with Pangean Humans living without the blessings of life's spirit energy.

For them to be deprived of it since birth was like living with weighted shackles. Their bodies became stronger to adapt.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As such, even though Vaan's women had strong leads due to dual cultivation with him, they could still be overtaken by other witches the moment they slacked in cultivation.

In the past, the High Witch rank used to be the bottleneck that divided the talented from the untalented. But now, with the blessed land of pure mana, even the Transcendent Witch rank might be a bottleneck for the witches.

Vaan wondered if the pure mana in the subterranean region was also another one of the Lord of Chaos's arrangements.

That said, if the Lord of Chaos knew what he was thinking, he would happily take credit for it, even if it had nothing to do with it, probably. Vaan couldn't help but feel like that was something the Lord of Chaos would do.

When Vaan checked on Hecate and the three Dreamcatchers, he noticed they were no longer playing cards.

Instead, they were actually doing something productive - Hecate was teaching her Dreamcatchers about the eighth stage of the Divine Dream Realm and sharing her insights with them.

This should be the real reason for her choosing to stick around for a while longer.

Nevertheless, since they were busy, he chose not to disturb them as well. Although Vaan had a lot to do, he also felt like he was quite free for the time being.

However, this so-called free time was just an illusory feeling brought about by having so many things to do and not knowing where to focus. Cultivation was important, but other things also required his attention.

For someone in his current position, free time was a luxury he couldn't afford to have.

Nevertheless, cultivation was also a slow and gradual process.

Maybe it was because Vaan was used to quick power-ups and rapid improvements, but he felt like it was a waste of time to keep cultivating once his progress slowed down.

After all, small improvements wouldn't make significant changes in the short term.

At the very least, it wouldn't grant him the power to challenge the other Great Devils right away.

From his battle with Abaddon, he also found out that thermonuclear power had its limitations in terms of use and destructiveness. Powerful as it was, it wasn't a guaranteed ace-in-the-hole type of trump card.

He needed something even more powerful than that.

Now that he had cultivated aura, magic, energy, and laws and also raised his regeneration power to the divine rank with the help of the blood arts, it should be safer to conduct his experiment on a new type of trump card-antimatter.

The power of antimatter superseded thermonuclear power.

Shortly after Vaan departed the moon and ventured back into the depths of space, he made sure it was a region of absolute void, where there wasn't even a speck of air floating around in space randomly.

After all, antimatter was notoriously volatile.

A single moment of contact with matter was all it would take to generate frightening amounts of energy.

Nevertheless, Vaan greatly underestimated the difficulty of creating antimatter. Even if he used magic, it still consumed an extraordinary amount of magical energy to produce the result.

However, Vaan didn't find this problem too surprising.

In order to invert the charges of matter, he would have to wrestle their most fundamental building blocks apart, which was like trying to pull two pieces of extremely powerful magnets away from each other.

Something like that would require tremendous strength and energy.

It was just like how absolute zero was theoretically impossible to achieve, as it would take an infinite amount of more energy the closer one got to it.

Nevertheless, if Vaan intended to create antimatter with brute force, it would defeat the purpose of magic.

He just had to eliminate the power of attraction, which kept these fundamental building blocks from being bound together tightly. As long as that was achieved, it would take significantly less magical energy to invert their charges.

However, Vaan encountered another problem as he conducted antimatter creation experiments.

Even if he successfully removed the attractive power with extremely precise control of nihilistic power and inverted the charges of matter, he still wouldn't have a complete

antimatter particle.

After all, the attractive power that bound its pieces together was lost in the process.

As such, he would have to figure out a way to invert the charges of matter directly without consuming too much energy. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to generate much antimatter for

it to be useful.

Vaan soon realized that even if he succeeded in creating antimatter, he wouldn't be able to generate enough for it to produce more destructive power than thermonuclear power.

Furthermore, it had even greater limitations for use, such as only being viable in a battlefield

like the Sea of Stars.

Otherwise, the antimatter explosion would be triggered before it would even reach his enemies. Of course, this problem could be easily remedied by isolating and delivering it with

spatial power.

In essence, Vaan figured that if he could produce even one gram of antimatter, it would be considered a huge success, even if the destructive power of its explosion was far inferior to a fifty-megaton thermonuclear bomb.

After all, the biggest advantage of antimatter wasn't its power of destruction but its power of annihilation. It literally possessed the power to annihilate matter, unlike a thermonuclear

bomb.

As such, if Vaan could wield the power of antimatter, it would be like using higher-end Nihility Law without actually using higher-end Nihility Law.

As Vaan conducted his antimatter experiments in space, he discovered that there was one type

of law that would make antimatter creation much simpler and less energy-consuming.

In fact, he already had some vague comprehension of its existence when he absorbed some of Varuna's memories.

The Inverse Law, the Law of Inversion, was undoubtedly the last law on Vaan's list of

registered law comprehensions.

However, Vaan wasn't sure why it would look like there was some glitch in the system.

Was the power of Inverse Law far beyond the system's ability to process and understand? Or was the information on the Inverse Law damaged in the system's records? Although the latter made more sense, Vaan couldn't help but lean towards the former.

However, how could the Inverse Law be unrecognized when the system could even identify the Nihlity Law and Asura Law, which were both laws that have reached the origin level? Wouldn't that imply the Inverse Law was even greater than the Nihility Law and Asura Law? Furthermore, if the Inverse Law was indeed greater than the Nihility Law and Asura Law, had it always been greater than them? Or had it been raised like the Asura Law? There seemed to be a lot of mystery surrounding the Inverse Law. Nevertheless, whatever the case was, Vaan only knew that he needed to comprehend the Inverse Law if he wanted to simplify antimatter creation.

Unexpectedly, his experiments on antimatter creation took up a lot more time than he had anticipated. But if he had never tried, he wouldn't have obtained such valuable information. Even so, an entire night had already passed on Pangea, and there were only a few hours before Heavenreacher's scheduled time for launch.

When Vaan traveled back to Sunpeak City, he was warmly greeted in the sky by the dragon

lords almost immediately.

"Supreme Leader, it's great that you are back!" Lord Astarot rejoiced before mentioning, "We

have been trying to contact you regarding today's event." "Hm? Is there a problem with the Heavenreacher?" Vaan asked.
