"No, since you don't want it, why did you make a deal with me…?"
Luka suddenly realized halfway through his sentence.
What the Ancient One originally wanted was not the [Hex Core], this so-called 'Dimensional Wormhole'.
For the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, what was truly important was the 'unowned dimensional space' that came into being due to the synthesis of this item, or rather, the endless dimensional energy within it.
With this dimensional energy, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj would no longer need to be so meticulous when casting spells, fearing that using too much would lead to a lifetime of 'loan repayment'.
But for a sorcerer of the Ancient One's caliber...
The moment she saw this unowned dimensional space, she could directly pinpoint its coordinates.
To put it further, from the moment they met, the energy within it was already hers to take as she pleased.
In fact, if the Ancient One wished, stepping in and becoming an alternate Dimensional Demon was merely a thought away.
For those energies to be used by the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, the key lay in the words 'unowned'.
As for 'Dimensional Wormholes', she could carve out a hundred or so of them in minutes.
The [Hex Core], in essence, was merely a device to allow ordinary people like himself, who lacked the ability to 'carve holes', to stably draw energy from that dimensional space.
"So, the Ancient One didn't actually need to tell me anything?"
"This Dehydration Gun, I guess I… got it for free?"
After this calculation...
Luka got a very practical 'core component' for free, the Ancient One and the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj got an inexhaustible supply of dimensional energy for free.
The demons who wanted to invade this World in the future got a good beating from a group of sorcerers with infinite mana for free.
Everyone had a bright future.
Three days later.
Inside Orange Industries' temporary warehouse.
At this moment, all the original large number of guards in the entire warehouse had been cleared out, leaving only Shield Mountain, who had been responsible for guarding the warehouse these past few days, and Luka himself.
However, looking at the huge [Boxer] Mech lying flat in the warehouse, Shield Mountain still asked with some hesitation.
"Young Master, will this really work?"
Hearing Shield Mountain ask this, Luka smiled indifferently and said,
"Hey, we've tested it before, don't worry."
Saying that, he ignored Shield Mountain's suspicious look, and directly took out a 'toy pistol' that looked very simple from a exquisite briefcase nearby.
He aimed at the [Boxer] Mech in front of him and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A faint blue energy beam instantly shot out, hitting the Mech's tattered arm.
Immediately after, the faint blue energy glow, like a coating, enveloped the entire giant Mech.
The next moment.
The originally huge Mech instantly disappeared, and the surrounding air rapidly squeezed inward, filling all the missing space.
Only a mini cube, faintly emitting a blue halo, was left on the ground.
"This, it actually worked??"
Shield Mountain, who was usually calm, was also staring dumbfounded at the Mech that had vanished into thin air.
That was no ordinary small thing; it was a behemoth 12 meters high, 8 meters wide, and weighing over 270 tons, yet his young master had 'shot it away' so easily?
Witnessing all of this with his own eyes, he felt even more shocked than if he had seen a magician make the Eiffel Tower disappear.
"Young… Young Master? Is this really something science can achieve?"
Hearing Shield Mountain ask such a question, Luka coughed twice decisively, putting on a serious expression.
"Ahem, Shield Mountain, you don't understand. This is, of course, science. Have you heard of Pym Particles? No? That's okay, these are Pym Particles' brother particles, Maom Particles. Their effects are similar, the principle is too complex, I can't explain it clearly to you right now. You just need to know that existence is reasonable~"
After a string of nonsense, Luka didn't pay much attention to Shield Mountain's current mood and strode forward.
What he had just used was, of course, the [Dehydration Gun] that he had just synthesized these past two days.
After all, this item was urgently needed at the moment, and Luka was worried about any unforeseen circumstances if the [Hex Core] stayed in his hands for too long, so he hurriedly collected all the other materials and synthesized it early.
Moreover, in fact, before coming to the warehouse, Luka had already tested this new item multiple times.
At least for now, he hadn't encountered any object that the energy ray from the [Dehydration Gun] couldn't compress.
Whether it was living or dead, as long as it was hit by the [Dehydration Gun], it would all turn into a thumb-sized blue cube, the only difference being that the speed at which the film-like light shield covered the object would vary due to differences in size.
He arrived at the center of the warehouse and picked up the small blue cube left at the original Mech's position.
Looking at this energy cube, which was only 3 centimeters square and virtually weightless, Luka's face showed a satisfied smile.
'No matter how many times I see this, it still feels incredible!'
Thinking these thoughts, Luka took out a metal object from his pocket that looked somewhat like a large capsule and gently pried it open.
Right in the middle of this capsule, there was just enough space to hold the energy cube.
"Mmm-hmm, now I have the Universal Capsule too~"
"Might as well test it directly~"
Saying that, Luka stepped back a few paces and stood beside Shield Mountain, who was still a bit bewildered.
He gently pressed the 'Universal Capsule's' switch, then quickly threw it out.
As the capsule landed...
With a 'bang', white smoke burst open, and the original [Boxer] Mech reappeared, obediently 'lying' back in its original spot.
"Not bad, not bad~"
Luka, who was very satisfied with the effect, repeated the previous operation, then somewhat awkwardly picked up the ejected capsule and energy cube, holding them in his hand again.
Of course, Luka's so-called 'Universal Capsule' was naturally not some new item he had drawn these past two days.
In fact, it was just a 'small toy' created to complement the [Dehydration Gun].
The capsule was also very simple: the lower half of the capsule could just hold the energy cube, while the upper half stored a sufficient amount of Water, and an activation button was added.
As soon as Luka pressed the button, the module inside the capsule would spray out Water after a few seconds of delay and then fully pop open, releasing the compressed energy cube.
This would cause the originally compressed object to return to its original state upon contact with Water.
As for making it into a capsule shape and having a large cloud of white smoke burst out before release, it was merely a peculiar bad habit unique to Luka, the transmigrator.
In fact, apart from requiring the [Dehydration Gun] for compression and the capsule shell often being ejected by the restored object.
The effect of this 'item' itself was already very close to the original 'Universal Capsule'.
Luka contentedly tucked the capsule into his pocket, and looking at the gradually darkening night outside the warehouse, he did not choose to go home yet.
Instead, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"I originally thought I was going to miss it~"
