**Chapter 707: The True Enemy and Calling for Reinforcements**

After retracting her hand, Viola remained standing in the void for a long time.

Her Law solidification domain spread out to its maximum perception radius. Pale-gray runes of the Law of Pain slowly rotated in the void beneath her feet, scanning every inch of the surrounding space.

On the other side, Jie Ming repeatedly swept the All-Purpose Eye across the direction where the entity had appeared.

Within his pale-golden vertical pupils, countless streams of data refreshed at waterfall-like speeds.

The gravitational parameters of three stars, radiation frequency bands, spatial curvature, trajectories of material residue, fluctuation frequencies of the elements in this region… everything within the entire area was being analyzed by him.

Yet the result remained the same as before—nothing was found.

Since even after its death they could not detect it, this meant the entity was not merely well-hidden, but “did not exist within the observable range.”

Moments later, Viola finally slowly withdrew her Law domain.

The pale-gray runes flowed back into her body like a tide. Her light-green eyes remained fixed on the empty void ahead, her expression carrying a rare trace of seriousness.

“I can’t find it either,” she said softly.

“As expected, this thing should not be in the same dimension as our current world. That’s why conventional methods cannot detect it no matter what.” Jie Ming turned to look at her upon hearing this.

Viola raised her hand, her fingertips gently tracing through the air.

“The reason I could injure it earlier was because it actively generated a pain response after being stimulated by you. Pain belongs to mental activity, and mental activity… exists on the same plane as its form of being.”

She paused. “But once it died and stopped emitting pain reactions, I could no longer perceive it.”

The surroundings fell into silence once more.

In the distance, stellar storms churned. Large streams of high-energy particles dragged blazing light tails through the void.

Fragments of Divine Armaments were captured by gravity, slowly rotating within the sea of light like a silent heavy snowfall.

Jie Ming gazed at those remnants and asked in a low voice, “From what you’re saying… you know what this thing is?”

Viola tilted her head. The familiar dangerous smile reappeared at the corners of her mouth. “I have a guess.”

Jie Ming looked at her with some curiosity. “What is it?”

“Although I’ve never seen the real thing, its characteristics are too distinct: cannot be observed by conventional means, formless and traceless, capable of directly erasing matter and energy, and only specific Laws can affect it.”

Viola stroked her smooth chin thoughtfully. “This is actually information that only high-level wizards normally know. But since you’ve already encountered it, there’s no harm in telling you early.”

As she spoke, Viola raised three fingers. “Haven’t you always been curious about what kind of enemies the wizards’ main forces are actually facing? In truth, within the Endless Chaotic Void, our wizard civilization has three primary enemies.”

“The Multiracial Alliance.”

“The Sentience Calamity.”

“And… the Reflection Dimension.”

Her tone noticeably slowed when she uttered the final two words.

Jie Ming narrowed his eyes, realizing that the last one was likely the enemy they had just encountered. “The Reflection Dimension?”

“Mhm.” Viola nodded gently.

“The one you faced earlier is most likely a being from the Reflection Dimension.”

She fell silent for a moment, seemingly organizing her words.

Clearly, even for a Sixth-Ring Wizard, the “Reflection Dimension” was not a topic to be discussed lightly.

“The so-called Reflection Dimension, as the name implies, is the reflection of the main world. However, what the Reflection Dimension reflects is not matter… but the mind.” She raised her hand and lightly tapped her fingertip against her temple.

“In the Endless Chaotic Void, every conscious lifeform produces mental activity at every moment.”

“Hope, despair, imagination, thought, inspiration… once these things appear in the consciousness of living beings, they do not disappear. Like shadows, they are projected into another dimension.”

“That place is the Reflection Dimension.”

Jie Ming pondered for a moment. “So this thing itself does not exist within the Endless Chaotic Void?”

Viola tilted her head. “Good question. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the Reflection Dimension and the main world is like the two sides of a coin. So it should be said… the Reflection Dimension exists within the Endless Chaotic Void that we cannot perceive.”

Viola spread her hands.

“Because they reside in a different dimension, the vast majority of methods from the main world are meaningless against them. They cannot be seen, touched, or harmed.”

She smiled. “The only reason I could identify it is because the Law of Pain happens to step right on their sensitive spot.”

“The fact that the thing was beaten into that state by me yet we still cannot find any trace of it… aside from a Reflection Dimension creature, I can’t think of any other possibility.”

Jie Ming remained silent for several seconds.

Multiracial Alliance.

Sentience Calamity.

Reflection Dimension.

The three names slowly arranged themselves within his spiritual sea.

“What about the other two enemies?”

“There’s not much to say about the Multiracial Alliance.” Viola’s tone grew lighter.

“They’re simply civilizations in the Endless Chaotic Void that have been robbed, beaten, threatened by wizard civilization, or are simply afraid of being robbed or beaten in the future, so they banded together for warmth.”

“Essentially, they are still normal civilizations. They can be seen and can be fought through.”

At this point, she suddenly paused.

“As for the Sentience Calamity…”

She frowned slightly. “The intelligence lockdown level for this one is very high. I only know the name. The specific details require at least Eighth-Ring Wizard authority to access.”

Jie Ming nodded, showing no intention of pressing further.

The wizard civilization’s intelligence classification was extremely strict.

If a piece of free information was deliberately withheld, it only meant the matter was truly dangerous.

His thoughts returned to the current plane. Countless clues rapidly assembled in his spiritual sea.

The situation was now clear. This universe-type plane had evidently been home to another, far more powerful civilization before the Tentacle Tree Civilization was born. And that civilization had encountered an invasion from the Reflection Dimension.

The Divine Armaments were products of that war. The so-called “life force absorption during activation” mechanism was never a simple power supply system, but a specialized interference technology targeting Reflection Dimension beings.

Thinking of this, Jie Ming grew curious again. “So Reflection Dimension creatures also possess the concept of life force? Absorbing life force can harm them?”

“More accurately… it’s life will.”

Viola corrected him.

“For Reflection Dimension creatures, what they truly need from life force has never been the energy itself, but the ‘instinct for survival’ contained within it.”

“The so-called life force extraction technology does not affect Reflection Dimension creatures by extracting life force, but by disturbing the life will within that mass of life force.”

“As the saying goes, excess is just as bad as deficiency. When massive amounts of life will are mixed together…” The corners of her mouth curved up. “To a Reflection Dimension creature, it’s like someone pouring molten iron into their ears.”

Jie Ming immediately recalled the abnormal reaction the entity had shown toward his sorcery earlier.

He said in a deep voice, “So the sorcery I created earlier was essentially generating this kind of life will noise.”

“Correct.”

Viola nodded. “That’s why this technique has significant limitations. It can only display its effects when there is a massive amount of life force present.”

Jie Ming nodded. “However, for wizards, once we understand their nature, killing them isn’t actually difficult.”

Viola extended her hand. A wisp of pale-gray Pain Law embers still lingered on her fingertips.

“Yes. What’s truly difficult has never been killing them. It’s finding them.”

“In many cases, only a few Seventh-Ring Wizards who specialize in relevant Laws can locate Reflection Dimension creatures within the main world.”

After listening, Jie Ming’s expression gradually grew solemn.

He suddenly spoke, “So… I need to call for reinforcements now?”

After all, the core of this plane still contained vast numbers of unchecked stars. Jie Ming did not believe there would only be one such sealed location here. If those Reflection Dimension creatures were foolish enough to keep attacking him, that would be fine. But if he was unlucky and encountered one that fled directly, it would be disastrous.

Viola blinked, then couldn’t help laughing. “Correct.”

She returned to her usual lighthearted demeanor, twirling a strand of her hair around her fingertip.

“But you don’t need to worry about the reward. As you know, Seventh-Ring Wizards have always been very honest when it comes to knowledge.”

“Normally, asking them for help would indeed come at a huge cost. But if you tell them… that there are living Reflection Dimension creatures here, then it won’t be asking for help anymore.”

She gently spread her hands.

“Believe it or not, once the news spreads, the number of Seventh-Ring Wizards willing to come could line up from Noren 147 Academy all the way outside the plane barrier.”

Jie Ming nodded without objection. After all, he had earned his rewards the same way back in the Strange plane.

With that thought, Jie Ming directly pulled up the magic network terminal.

After a moment of consideration, his first communication was sent to Mentor Clark.

He quickly wrote the situation in the Tentacle Tree Plane into the message.

Finally, he added: Mentor, if you can end your seclusion early, please come immediately.

The communication was sent.

Immediately after, he connected to the private line of the Dean of Noren 147 Academy.

Pale-blue runes flowed across the surface of the crystal terminal.

Moments later, a light screen unfolded in the void.

Within the light screen, a wizard slowly raised his head. It was Avery Knight, the Dean, whom he had not seen in a long time.

“Jie Ming?”

Dean Avery’s brows furrowed slightly.

“What is it?”

Jie Ming wasted no words and quickly explained his current situation.

As he spoke, Avery’s expression began to change little by little.

First a frown.

Then, those deep brown eyes suddenly lit up.

Even through the light screen, Jie Ming could clearly sense the excitement of Dean Avery Knight.

He slowly rose from his chair. The bookshelves behind him stirred without wind, and numerous tomes fluttered their pages slightly under invisible force.

“No problem.”

Dean Avery’s voice remained low and deep, but the excitement in his tone could no longer be suppressed.

“I’ll bring people over right away.”
