Chapter 1673: White Passage
The purity of this top-grade inert crystal was slightly higher than that of the one Sein had obtained previously.
It would directly enhance the destructive power of the super bomb Sein was crafting, pushing it even further.
“Deep within that massive inert crystal vein lies an inert essence of even higher grade and specification. Crystals of that level are far beyond the limits of my lifetime of research. Not only are they impossible to mine at present, but even if we somehow managed to extract them, I doubt I could develop anything useful in the short term. And you certainly couldn’t use such a crystal to craft an explosive directly—I’d be worried you’d blow us all to pieces before you even finished it,” Gilbert said.
“This crystal we have now is fine,” he continued. “Although its quality is slightly better than the last one, its grade still doesn’t exceed the highest level I have encountered so far.”
Gilbert’s words left Sein inwardly startled and amazed, yet they also brought him a measure of relief.
With this crystal in hand, Sein’s group now had a much better chance of standing up to a Rank Six creature.
If Qixiu’s claws had not already been half-destroyed, Sein would have seriously considered having him dig out another superior crystal like this.
While Sein transformed this crystal into a super bomb, the group lingered in this area for some time.
With Gilbert, an expert in inert crystals, guiding the process, the work progressed smoothly despite slight differences between this crystal and the Gray Quartz used previously.
The resulting super bomb possessed a theoretical destructive power roughly five percent greater than the one that had severely wounded the eight-winged angel named Fermera.
Though the increase was only five percent, it was no small achievement.
After all, breakthroughs were usually made in small steps, not in a single leap.
