Chapter 286 - Condensate, Marching Toward Eeofol (1/2)

After realizing that there was no longer that terrifying ultra-low temperature around Roy, Julia quickly flew down, and Cassandra and Benia followed closely behind.

“Darling, are you all right?” Julia asked in concern while supporting Roy. “I’m fine. My magic power is already starting to recover!” Roy stood up and sighed.

“What happened just now?” Julia asked curiously. “I know you’re experimenting with your frost power, but why did you turn black for a moment? Like… like all the colors on your body turned into deep darkness…”

“Huh? Really?” Roy was stunned when he heard this question.

Of course, he could not see his state just now, so he felt puzzled. But Julia and the others saw it, and even Benia and the rest nodded to confirm Julia’s words.

“Turned black?” Roy was puzzled. Did that explosive increase of 100,000 points of magic power allow me to enter the absolute zero state? Or else why would such a phenomenon appear?

Roy could not help but ask the system in his mind, ‘Did the temperature I create reach absolute zero?’

‘No!’ The system immediately denied. ‘But at that moment, the temperature you created reached about one-millionth of a degree above absolute zero, so you entered a short condensate state!’

Condensate? Roy was puzzled. After asking carefully, he learned that the condensate mentioned by the system referred to the Bose-Einstein condensate!

As temperatures neared absolute zero, the matter in the real world would experience some very special states due to the slowdown of the internal molecular motion. In the condensate state, the density of all affected substances around Roy’s body had dropped dramatically to ten million times thinner than air, and their mass had been reduced to an unmeasurable level!

The affected matter referred to here naturally included light, and the speed of light under the influence of a condensate would decrease. The mist-like light and shadow around Roy was actually a visual phenomenon caused by the slow escape of photons. The closer to the surface of his body, the slower the speed of light, and the harder it was to escape. Even when it reached the surface of his skin, the speed of light was almost zero. In other words, his body was no longer able to refract light! This led to the ‘black vision’ on Roy that Julia and the others saw.

This principle was the same as the black hole model. The difference was that the light entering a black hole could not escape because of the immense gravity, while the light around Roy could not escape because of the temperature.

For some reason, after hearing the system’s explanation, Roy’s first reaction was: F*ck. It turns out the Saint Seiya anime was all lies! Cygnus Hyoga’s absolute zero move was fake!

According to theory, before reaching absolute zero, the speed of light could already be reduced to cause the black vision phenomenon. Then after reaching absolute zero, the speed of light would become zero. Without light, there would not be any refraction, and the eyes would not be able to capture any scenes… In other words, reaching absolute zero would ultimately create a phenomenon of ‘turning off the lights’. No one could see the world at absolute zero.

Even Roy’s Radiation Perception would not be able to perceive anything because even the radiation of objects stopped at absolute zero…

It was indeed the true extinction of everything… It seemed like there was a reason why absolute zero was so difficult to reach. There was no upper limit for temperature, and temperatures as high as tens of billions of degrees could occur, but there was a lower limit for temperature. However, it was probably harder to reach this temperature than to reach tens of billions of degrees.

The low temperature of the condensate that Roy created did not even last a second. To be precise, it was only 0.2 seconds. Although it sounded terrifying that even the speed of light could be reduced, the duration was too short, and it did not seem to have much use for the time being.

However, no matter what, this was a good thing. All of Roy’s plans had achieved his expected results and had not deviated off track.

Although the magic power required to reach the condensate temperature was too terrifying, as long as his magic power continued to increase in the future, he could make the condensate temperature last longer. As long as he had the condensate state to protect himself, the power of holy light was basically useless against him!

Holy light was an energy that had a certain amount of autonomous will. It repelled corruption and resisted darkness. However, this energy was spread through light, and under a condensate, the speed of holy light would also decrease, becoming incomparably slow. Moreover, the energy contained within it would also become incomparably weak. A powerful holy light impact would probably become similar to a tickle if it hit Roy under the condensate state…

Similarly, in the condensate state, any form of energy attack was basically useless against Roy!
