Chapter 391 Explanation 2.0

Upon seeing this, Fei Bo frowned slightly. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and carefully sensed the changes in the magic array.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, his face turning extremely pale.

As someone who is almost one with the magic circle, Fei Bo has an extremely keen perception of the changes in the magic circle.

He had already confirmed through a brief sensation that what Meros said was true—the magic circle did indeed function more smoothly in the places where Meros had destroyed it, even giving people a silky feeling.

Even though Philip didn't say anything, his expression said it all; Melos was absolutely right.

This also means that Meros had not deceived him before, and everything he said was true.

Want to know why this is?

Meros seemed to sense Fei Bo's thoughts. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and then asked.

In fact, Meros didn't want to dawdle with Fibo any longer, but he had to keep a close eye on Fibo now and make sure he didn't cause any more trouble.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiyue and the people outside were doing their best to destroy the energy node.

It's important to understand that while this magic circle can reduce its area of ​​influence, it cannot completely stop its operation. Therefore, the person currently most at ease is actually Meros.

Moreover, even Philippine officials cannot remain completely uninvolved.

As an avatar, he needs to continuously dissolve himself and input his energy into the magic array. During this process, he also needs to concentrate on maintaining the amount of energy input. If he is not careful, all his efforts may be in vain.

"I want to know."

Despite his anger, Fei Bo was very concerned about the magic array, so he suppressed his anger and answered with a gloomy expression, following up on Moros's question.

"Because when I was designing this magic circle, I had already considered extracting energy from all living beings in the area to the maximum extent possible. This is the core foundation of the entire magic circle. Only in this way can we obtain enough powerful energy to support subsequent operations."

As Melos explained at a leisurely pace, he walked casually toward the next energy node.

"Next, I will skillfully guide this extracted energy, allowing it to flow continuously into my own body. In this way, I can use this external energy to forcibly break through my own limitations and release even greater power."

His tone was relaxed, as if he was already very familiar with the process.

"That's why the energy nodes I arranged weren't randomly placed, but rather exhibited a geometric growth pattern. Each new energy node is interconnected with previous nodes, forming a complex yet orderly network. This design not only ensures efficient energy collection but also makes the energy flow of the entire magic array smoother."

Meros continued, as if explaining a very simple truth.

"However, you have never truly understood the purpose of these energy nodes. You have merely observed the pattern of their growth and then mechanically amplified them according to this pattern. But you have overlooked the most important point, which is the true meaning of the existence of these energy nodes—to collect energy."

A hint of regret was evident in Meros's words.

He strolled across the magic circle as leisurely as if he were taking a walk in a garden in the afternoon.

Each step seemed so casual, yet it also seemed to contain some profound meaning. He paused briefly before reaching an energy node, then destroyed it effortlessly.

"You mean all these energy nodes are useless? Or that only some of them are useful? But I've studied them for a long time, and all of these energy nodes are the same, even the ones that are slightly different except for a few of the larger ones."

Phib looked at Meros with suspicion, his brows furrowed and his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt.

While keeping a close eye on Meros's every move, Philip listened indignantly to what Meros was saying.

After Meros finally finished speaking, Phoebe couldn't wait to ask more questions.

"Of course, it's not all useless, it's just that you can't find the key point."

Meros's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if he had anticipated Philip's reaction.

"You must have skipped classes when you were learning formations, right?"

His voice carried a hint of mockery as he continued.

Upon hearing Meros's words, Fei Bo's face instantly turned bright red; he had clearly been hit where it hurt.

"I didn't skip class! I've studied them, and these nodes all look pretty much the same. I can't see any importance in them, which is why I thought they were all the same."

However, Philip did not back down. He widened his eyes and retorted without showing any weakness.

Looking at Fibo's somewhat exasperated appearance, Meros couldn't help but find it amusing.

He gently shook his head, then raised his hand and used the energy within his body to completely draw the modified magic circle in mid-air.

As Meros moved, beams of bright light intertwined in the air, forming a complex and intricate pattern.

This pattern is the magic circle modified by Phibos, but after being outlined by Meros, some details and key nodes have become clearly visible.

"This one, this one, and these few are all key nodes, while the others are nodes that absorb energy."

Meros reached out and pointed at the drawn magic circle, as if these nodes were old friends of his.

As he clicked, the dots lit up one by one, standing out prominently on the magic circle like stars in the night sky.

Fei Bo stared intently, trying to find some pattern in the lit dots.

However, he soon discovered that, apart from the very center point—the one where he himself was—the other points appeared to be randomly distributed across the entire magic circle.

Some of them gather together, while others are scattered in different places, with no obvious pattern to be found.

Philip felt very strange. He frowned slightly and stared at the dots as if trying to see through them.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find any connection between these points.

Ten minutes passed, and Fei Bo's eyes were starting to sting, but he still hadn't found any pattern.

"What's the pattern here? I can't find any at all."

Finally, he sighed helplessly, looked up at Meros, and asked in confusion.

Meros smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Philip's confusion.

"This needs to be considered in conjunction with the entire formation."

He continued to destroy some of the surrounding energy nodes while casually remarking.
