The Dou Qi extracted and transformed from life by special breathing techniques does not have complex and changeable characteristics like the psychic or magic power transformed by the mage through mental power. It is a pure energy. If it is not at the advanced level of silver, it cannot even be released from the body and affect the real world. However, it has extremely strong strengthening ability for life itself and can strengthen the owner's various abilities in all aspects, including not only muscles, tendons, and five senses.

The natural energy in the crystallization of steel is different.

Elements, magic, and all the energy present in nature will naturally react with other material energy. Flame crystals will form in places where the fire element is rich, and deep-sea beads will condense in places where the water element is dense. In places where the elements are poor, even legendary magic equipment will gradually destroy itself due to the natural dissipation of energy.

"According to my calculations, at the rate of dissipation of this steel crystal, it will disappear into invisible in two hours, but there is no sign of it shrinking now."

Moria's middle-aged eyes shone with golden light, and his hands were filled with luster and patterns like magma. The old dwarf said seriously: "I haven't felt any strange energy in it yet, but there is a trace of chaos related to it... This alone is worthy of attention."

In this way, things will be interesting.

Joshua stood aside and watched Moria detect the black and red crystal using various methods. He touched his chin and thought, "Nostradamus, Clayel and me, plus this old dwarf, the four of them came to four similar but not conclusions through different means... Damn, where did Firefly find this thing?"

But no matter what, the four of them have the same conclusion in some respects - there is no doubt that this steel crystal comes from a world that is invaded by chaos and is on the verge of end of the end.

"Time and Space Gate."

This word suddenly popped up in Joshua's mind, and he thought thoughtfully: "This crystal should have flowed out of the time and space gate that I destroyed. At that time, I was too tired and rested in place for a long time. Firefly should have picked up the steel crystal at this time."

As for why he picked it up unsuspectedly... Even he couldn't tell what this crystal was from the beginning, how could Firefly know? The girl probably thought it was just a beautiful stone.

"It is impossible to understand its internal structure by naked eye detection alone." After putting the steel crystal back on the box, the old dwarf narrowed his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face became heavier: "It seems that I have to use some important means... don't you mind, Joshua?"

"Don't mind." Joshua had no choice but to do with this thing. His ancient knowledge and strange things were not enough to identify the source of the steel crystal. Since the old dwarf had a solution, he would just let him do it.

No one knew what the dwarf's heavy method was, but they all guessed a rough idea, so when Moria didn't know where to take out a large magic resonance detector commonly found in an alchemy workshop, no one expressed surprise.

When he placed this huge machine three meters high and was dragging a translucent energy lead on the ground, the entire forging room trembled. Moria moved her arm, then took out the steel crystals from the box again, and said, "I deliberately increased the power of this machine and connected it with the black steel furnace in the core forging area. In theory, with all the strength output, any substance will be completely analyzed."

"Of course, please be careful." The old dwarf reminded: "I ordered this instrument with a group of goblins from the west. Although it has been used for two years without any problems, it does not guarantee that it will not explode."

The product of goblins?

After hearing this, everyone present instantly became energetic and became more vigilant. They watched Moria put the steel crystal into the instrument, then pressed the start button, and subconsciously prepared to defend.

The alchemy and engineering technology of goblins are indeed first-class in the world, but their restless hearts have countless inspirations and ideas, and they have no way to calm down and perfect a product to perfection. The consequence is that most of their products have their own self-destructive functions.

“Buzz.”

Joshua could sense that a huge pure energy turned into the slightest energy wave, constantly sweeping back and forth in the instrument, thoroughly analyzing the substance placed therein. Everyone stood at the observation port, looking at the various phenomena generated inside with a serious face, observing the various characteristics and information displayed by the internal steel crystals under this high-frequency energy scan.

A few minutes passed.

"It's indeed a bit abnormal. In this high-energy environment, general energy aggregates, such as flaming crystal, have already begun to quickly decompose and resonate, but this steel crystal does not interact with the outside world at all, and is extremely stagnant, and will only release a large amount of steel power unilaterally."

Moria frowned and asserted, "The power is still not enough." As he said that, the old dwarf moved his finger and increased the power a lot.

“Buzz!!!”

Accompanied by a violent buzzing sound, a terrifying energy that even Joshua was surprised by was surging wildly. The flashing light on the magic resonance detector instantly turned red, the internal energy wave dynamics became stronger, and the detection depth was further improved.

Even if this steel crystal is inert and does not react with external energy, it inevitably undergoes some changes under this level of stimulation.

"Crack."

Countless slight cracks appeared on the surface of this black and red crystal. Before the old dwarf who operated the console could react, the steel crystal suddenly collapsed automatically and turned into a pile of tiny powder.

"What?!"

On the spot, Joshua and Moria, who knew a little about the situation, exclaimed in surprise, and they shouted loudly almost at the same time: "Impossible!"

These two people are different from the Divine Machine Boy and the Elven Druid. They know clearly that the resonance detector will at most allow the pure energy condensate such as Fiery Crystal and Steel Crystal to gradually melt, and it is impossible to "break" them like ordinary matter.

At this time, a rotating gray vortex appeared at the original location of the crystal. It frantically absorbed the fluctuations of energy sweeping around, absorbed energy, and expanded its volume. At the same time, an inexplicable aura appeared in the center of the vortex, and it began to release a hazy light.

The speed of light cannot be avoided, and everyone present was instantly shrouded in this light.

Joshua felt that he was like the strange power in the crystallization that was actively contacted in the main city of Moldavia before. When he was pulled into the illusion, his eyes suddenly turned black. Although his consciousness was still awake, he could not observe external information.
