202 The power of changing terrain
Due to the friction between the high-speed fall and the air, the head of the metal rod burned red and dragged a long tail, like a meteorite.
The next moment it hit the ground hard.
There was a loud bang, and the black metal rod smashed directly through the ground at an extremely high speed.
The terrifying kinetic energy caused it to reach the ground more than 20 meters deep in an instant. The huge energy caused the ground to rise high, and then exploded...
Rudy had been mentally prepared before and was not too surprised when he saw the explosion scene.
Instead, he looked at the landing point and frowned.
It is true that the goal this time has deviated too far.
Originally, he wanted to target the platform, but he didn't expect that when the metal rod fell, it would be more than 200 meters away from the platform!
Because Rudy was very unfamiliar with the operation of the God's Rod for the first time, before he had time to fine-tune the direction of the fall, the metal rod had already fallen to the ground like lightning.
Despite this, the results of the experiment are still quite good. At least this experiment fully proved the power of the Rod of God.
After a moment, Rudy controlled the repulsion force to drive away the rising dust, showing the effect of God's rod bombarding the ground.
It was a huge hemispherical crater with a diameter of fifty meters and a center depth of more than thirty meters.
In the center of the crater, the high temperature generated by the release of huge kinetic energy melted the rock into magma, and formed a large black material similar to glass crystal under high pressure.
In the middle of this piece of black glass crystal, the black metal rod only exposed a tail less than thirty centimeters long.
Rudy raised his hand to control gravity and pulled the metal rod out of the ground.
The metal rod that was originally 1.5 meters long is now less than 1.4 meters long.
When it fell towards the ground, it was burned by the high temperature and hit the ground, turning into a round cake.
Although the black metal rod itself is extremely strong and has been highly enchanted, damage cannot be avoided in this case.
Moreover, this is only from a height of one thousand meters. If it were to fall from two thousand meters or even three thousand meters and accelerate, the damage to the metal rod would be more serious, and it would even be completely burned.
Rudy looked at the scene and silently assessed in his mind that the power of this blow just now would kill an extraordinary person with intermediate strength within ten meters of the point where the metal rod fell.
If it is ten meters away or within thirty meters, there is a high probability of serious injury.
This effect is quite satisfactory for Rudy, but it has little practical significance.
Because to deal with intermediate supernatural beings, Rudy's use of the Seeking Jade is enough, and there is no additional cost at all.
If the rod of God only had this effect, it would have no meaning at all.
So in the second experiment, Rudy directly raised the height to 2,500 meters.
At a height of one thousand meters, the fall time is too short to provide enough acceleration time for the metal rod.
Firstly, the speed is not enough to limit the power of God's Rod. Secondly, it also makes Rudy unable to accurately adjust the direction of the metal rod's fall. Without a precise attack method, it is meaningless no matter how powerful it is.
Raising the height to more than two thousand meters will increase the acceleration time of the Rod of God by at least two seconds, and finally the metal rod will fall to the ground at a speed close to ten times the speed of sound...
A few minutes later, there was another loud noise, even louder!
Even the moment the metal rod hit the ground, it caused a small earthquake, which was felt even in the urban area of Glinton.
This time, the metal rod hit the platform that Rudy had selected in advance and smashed directly into the ground more than fifty meters deep!
Although it is still not accurate enough, for a large-scale killer weapon, the error within five meters can be ignored.
In an instant, the hard rock platform was completely wiped off the ground.
The Staff of God erupted with terrifying power that was ten times more powerful than before, directly changing the terrain of hundreds of meters in radius.
The huge explosion directly destroyed one side of the mountain in the abandoned mine. In an instant, mud and rocks poured out along with the accumulated water in the mine, but only a layer of bottom was laid in this giant crater with a diameter of more than a hundred meters.
This time, Rudy was secretly speechless, but did not dare to stay long.
After taking back the metal rod with only one meter left, he immediately left the scene as quickly as possible.
In the first test, although the movement was louder, it was not particularly shocking.
Because there are many mining sites near Glinton City, and powerful blasting magic is occasionally used, the noise produced is not much inferior.
But the second time, the noise was too great.
Although there were no violent fluctuations in magic power during the entire process, the terrifying power of the explosion and the small earthquakes it caused would attract the attention of Greenton City.
I believe that in less than ten minutes, someone will come here to check on the situation.
Rudy is still here stupidly, waiting to be caught?
This God's Staff is a weapon that Rudy uses as his trump card. He will not use it easily until the critical moment or against a key enemy.
Moreover, after preliminary tests, the feasibility of the Rod of God was only verified.
There is still a long way to go to turn it into a practical ultimate move, and there are great limitations.
For example, when the metal rod is accelerating, Rudy uses gravity with all his strength to accelerate the metal rod.
Although this process only takes a few seconds, for some powerful extraordinary beings, a few seconds are enough to do a lot of things.
Therefore, at least in Rudy's current situation, the scenarios for using the Rod of God are very limited.
The most ideal situation is a sneak attack, targeting enemies who have not entered the battle, taking advantage of the small fluctuation of magic power when launching the Rod of God, and delivering justice to the unprepared enemy.
In other cases, if used rashly, it will easily give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Rudy tried it twice and had a general idea in his mind, so he went in a circle and returned to Glinton City from the other direction.
And just over ten minutes later, people coming from Glinton City arrived at the abandoned mine.
Those who came to check were people from the Knights, from the city hall, and from various big families.
More than a dozen groups of people came to the scene, and when they saw the terrain changed by the rod of God, they all showed expressions of shock and astonishment.
They were not sure what was going on, but they could only confirm that it was a violent explosion with amazing power.
What is even more surprising is that at the center of the explosion, there is almost no trace of the magic wave left!
This is the scariest thing.
It is almost unprecedented to create such a powerful explosion without using magic power.
At this time, the newly formed huge crater with a diameter of more than 100 meters is slowly being filled with water from the abandoned mine next to it. I believe that within two days, a brand new small lake will be formed here.
After confirming the situation at the scene, everyone immediately returned to Greenton City and reported the situation here.
Because the city of Glinton itself has been in troubled times in the past few months, although recently the arrival of two high-level extraordinary beings from the royal capital shocked the scene and caused the Hal sect to cease their activities, the situation seems to have returned to calm.
But no one dared to relax too much, and no one was sure whether those madmen from the Har sect would suddenly make a comeback.
And now, a huge explosion with no magic power suddenly appeared near Greenton City.
This has made many people doubt whether the Hal sect has obtained some new secret weapon.
If such a powerful explosive with almost no magic fluctuations was transported to the city and detonated, it would definitely be an unimaginable disaster.
Immediately, several important figures in Greenton City, including Captain Omasil, came to the scene to check.
As the culprit, Rudy returned to the villa in the city leisurely and called Clarissa over.
Half an hour later, Clarissa came to the backyard of Rudy's villa. When she saw the two damaged and deformed black metal rods, she knew that Rudy was doing an experiment.
Rudy's idea of the Rod of God was not hidden from Clarissa.
Firstly, the principle of this idea is not complicated, and secondly, Rudy also needs her technical support.
Whether it is alchemy or mechanical manufacturing, Clarissa is a very high-level expert and has many friends in related fields. Even if she encounters some problems that she cannot solve by herself, she can still seek technical support.
"Lisa, help me repair these two. In addition, I need some space teleportation scrolls that can be manipulated from a long distance." Rudy said straight to the point when he saw Clarissa.
Clarissa immediately agreed that there was no technical difficulty in repairing the two black metal rods.
But what makes Clarissa wonder is, why does Rudy want to send the scroll?
As a technical geek, Clarissa expressed her doubts and curiosity very directly.
Rudy didn't hide anything and just told his general idea.
After listening to this, Clarissa fell into deep thought.
Seeing her look, Rudy couldn't help but think: "Does she have any better ideas?"
Rudy was looking forward to it and did not disturb Clarissa who was thinking.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that Clarissa came to her senses and quickly apologized to Rudy.
Rudy waved his hand and asked, "What better way do you have?"
Clarissa said: "Sir, your idea of using a space scroll is certainly very clever, but in fact we have a more economical solution."
Rudy became interested and motioned for her to continue.
Clarissa paused and sorted out her words: "Sir, in fact, apart from the airships and space scrolls you thought of, you have overlooked a more common, cheap and easy-to-use thing."
As she spoke, beside Clarissa, magic power surged slightly, and a suspended metal ball larger than a watermelon emerged.
The random metal ball made a "kick-knock" sound, and the metal plate on the surface unfolded, turning into a floating cannon in an instant, and then turned into a huge tower shield, and then turned into a metal ball floating next to Clarissa.
