I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 480
🕑 Added 2024-03-18 22:25:33 +0000 UTCChapter 480: The Power to Pierce the Atmosphere! The End—Atomic Breath!
Breaking the sound barrier with his physical body was a concept Lynn had entertained before.
Since they were no longer frail carbon-based life forms, speed and strength should not be so greatly limited!
Only after truly ascending to legend did Lynn understand that the issue indeed lay in acceleration.
Previously, grand wizards utilized force field magic for flight, a sophisticated anti-gravity method that was indeed slow. Lynn then had the idea to use magnetic fields to increase his own speed.
Like launching an electromagnetic cannon, he propelled himself in an instant!
This method of acceleration was undoubtedly crude, but its speed was unquestionably unrivaled.
Just a second's accumulation of electromagnetic acceleration increased Lynn's speed to one and a half times the speed of sound, turning his energy body into a steel form mid-air.
The immense mass, combined with unprecedented speed, unleashed a punch with the power akin to a thermobaric bomb. Accompanied by a massive sonic boom, Cynthia was blasted hundreds of meters away, crashing deeply into the ground.
"So fast!" Harof's pupils shrank; he had heard someone mention the idea of breaking the sound barrier with the physical body before, but had regarded it as a fanciful dream. He never expected Lynn to achieve such an incredible feat upon just stepping into legend!
For formal wizards like Yulande and others, they could only see faint afterimages and the sweeping sonic booms...
As the target of persecution, Cynthia was stupefied by this extraordinary heavy hit, like colliding with a meteorite at high speed. Her energy form nearly dissipated from the impact.
However, before she could recover, Lynn was already in front of her again.
Cynthia's face changed dramatically, raising her right hand to cast divine magic, but someone's speed was evidently faster. A blade shimmering with magical fluorescence, several meters long, materialized in his hand, sweeping down in a slash!
Divine barriers appeared in front of her, but they were like paper, instantly breached, and the blade directly chopped off Cynthia's right arm!
This was the high-frequency vibrating particle blade!
Utilizing the legendary wizard's powerful control over mimetic elements, Lynn used atoms vibrating and circulating hundreds of thousands of times per second as the blade edge, achieving atomic-level cutting!
"This is for Aurora!"
After the strike, Lynn withdrew the blade. Cutting wounds had limited destructive power against energy bodies, then his real 'iron fist', larger than a sandbag, directly targeted Cynthia's head!
"This punch is for Councilor Harof!"
The heavy punch hit Cynthia's face directly, and the ground collapsed with intense booming sounds, dense cracks spreading out like spider webs...
Harof and Aurora, who were observing, naturally heard Lynn's shouts, feeling both amused and touched, grateful for their efforts in delaying Cynthia.
Cynthia suffered several heavy hits, a humiliation beyond limits. It wasn't hard for her to predict Lynn's moves and react, but their speeds were worlds apart!
Since the end of the Faith War, she had never been suppressed in direct combat, much less humiliated and beaten into the ground.
Even if this was just an avatar!
"Time Stop!" Before the massive iron fist could smash down again, Cynthia harshly uttered.
The elements tainted by divine power within the projection of the divine kingdom seemed to receive an order, all freezing in place, a terrifying chill spreading rapidly in all directions.
As Lynn was about to use the ultimate physical attack to obliterate this divine avatar until its energy was depleted, he was forced to halt.
The chill was spreading within his domain, though its expansion was significantly slower, only about one percent of the outside world...
They had been routed in their assault on the Church's saint due to the divine kingdom projection easily suppressing the domains of grand wizards.
But fortunately, having ascended to legend, he possessed some resistance and countermeasures.
Absolute zero invading the domain would take at least five seconds to reach his body, enough for thirty punches, potentially enough to burst the opponent or force a halt to the spell.
So he continued to strike!
Lynn's movements were relentless, landing several punches, each accurately hitting Cynthia's head.
At this moment, Lynn resembled more a berserker than a wizard, with fists and speed as his best weapons!
"Starfall!" Cynthia's angry voice came from below, strands of starlight flashing around her before explosively detonating.
This nearly mutually destructive tactic finally forced Lynn back.
He remained wary of this unknown divine magic.
【Slow Field】
After escaping being suppressed and pummeled, Cynthia immediately adjusted the elemental composition of the divine kingdom's domain.
All wizards immediately felt as if the air around them had turned into some viscous liquid.
Using increased resistance to slow down speed, to reduce his advantage?
Lynn immediately guessed Cynthia's intent, acknowledging it as a method, but what truly troubled him was that the opponent seemed to receive endless energy replenishment within this divine kingdom domain.
He had already inflicted heavy damage on her more than once, plus the previous fierce battle, the consumption of magic and energy was not a small amount. Yet, Cynthia showed no signs of energy exhaustion.
It seemed the only way was to completely destroy her physical body!
In the moments of contemplation, Cynthia's battered body had already largely healed. She hovered in the underground space, surrounded by dazzling starlight gathering behind her like a peacock's tail.
This was the divine magic—Star's Fury—that Ivina had interrupted earlier.
At the moment of casting, Lynn noticed some clues about these peculiar starlight magics.
In the legendary wizard's unique elemental sight, each strand of starlight shimmered with the glow of soul power.
If the transformation of matter into energy characterizes a wizard's ascension to legend, then Cynthia was using soul power as her energy source!
"I must not intercept it directly..." The thought flashed through Lynn's mind, suspecting this spell could directly harm the soul, no wonder it was her preferred offensive technique.
"Star's Fury!" Cynthia slowly spoke, and the starfires hovering behind her like a peacock's screen swiftly shot out, not targeting Lynn, but aimed at Aurora, who was heavily injured on the right.
Lynn's expression changed, not expecting Cynthia to suddenly shift her attack towards someone else. His form became energized, forcibly breaking through the elemental sea blocking his movements, and before the starfire could cover the area, he grabbed Aurora and flew out.
Behind them, intense booms followed one after another, each burst of starlight signifying the extinguishment of a soul, and the burning starfires spread throughout the underground space.
Then, a majestic prayer echoed through the space.
"When Judgment Day arrives, the gates of heaven will open, the Lord shall sit upon the divine throne, and all beings will prostrate before the Creator, receiving the Lord's judgment!"
Cynthia, hovering in the divine kingdom, her expression solemn, a divine and vast power vibrating through the void...
A bronze gate slowly emerged within the divine kingdom.
This time, Cynthia had not intended to perform the descent, not until collecting a million devout souls to complete the ritual, the true deity could not easily take risks.
According to her prediction, tonight's battle would either end in her slaughtering these wizards or the opponents deploying [Skyfall] within the city—exchanging this avatar for the council's elite forces!
But Cynthia hadn't expected these wizards to have mastered the method of ascending to legend and even defeated this avatar in direct combat.
This posed a substantial threat to her, infuriated to the extreme after being brutally beaten...
Now, only one thought remained in her mind: to completely eliminate these wizards!
"It's the Descent!"
Aurora, hardly having time to thank Lynn for his assistance, looked in horror at the bronze gate, vividly remembering the scene a few months ago when they were nearly annihilated by a mere finger of Aila's true form.
Lynn's gaze also became grave. Although he had ascended to legend, he had no intention of confronting the Church's pseudo-god, with hundreds of years of faith accumulation and unfathomable strength, at this time.
If Victorio were here and Harof and Aurora had also completed their ascension, combining the strength of several seventh-circle wizards might give them a fighting chance!
"Then let's try this!" Lynn extended his hand, uranium elements emerging in his palm, initially scattered but then converging into a solid sphere.
As a legendary wizard, he, like Victorio, possessed the ability to mimic and analyze all elements.
Most importantly, after venting his frustration, Lynn abruptly remembered: he was a mage, not a warrior!
"What does he plan to do? Use a massive nuclear spell here?" Harof, just recovering from the shock of the descent, looked towards Lynn, a chill running down his spine.
Harof was well aware that if such power were unleashed in this underground space, everyone present would die.
Lynn ignored the thoughts of others, focusing all his attention on the uranium elements in his palms, nearing the critical point, the space held by his hands showing visible ripples.
The terror of nuclear magic was indescribable, and even having ascended to legend, Lynn had no confidence in surviving at the center of a nuclear blast. However, not being able to resist directly didn't mean he couldn't utilize this force!
The key lay in guidance, such as through warped space and strong magnetic fields, directing the nuclear explosion's energy in one direction...
Much like how they constrained the fusion reactor before, only with more than tenfold the difficulty...
At this moment, Cynthia also sensed the incoming danger, but being engaged in guiding the descent, she couldn't spare the effort to interrupt Lynn's spell, only speeding up her own casting.
The previously ethereal bronze gate had become incredibly solid, fully emerging from the void, the door slightly ajar, and the divine kingdom projection becoming more potent than before.
Harof and Aurora, among others,
felt their domains completely suppressed, with Raphael and the rest unable to move.
Even Lynn was not an exception, his domain nearly compressed to half its original size.
Fortunately, Lynn's preparation had also reached its peak, all the energy and magic absorbed during the ascension ceremony transformed into more uranium-235. At the critical point, a heart-stopping bright light suddenly emerged at the center of his hands.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of all, stray fire streams, terrifying energy waves, and temperatures of billions of degrees exploded simultaneously!
"I call it..."
"The End—Atomic Breath!"
Lynn slowly spoke, just the stray energy causing his hands to vaporize, losing half of his body.
But fortunately, the spell restraining the nuclear explosion had formed. Under the combined effect of warped space and magnetic fields, the unimaginable nuclear energy wave, centered in front of Lynn, surged, rotated, and burst out in a conical shape!
The high-density energy wave, at the moment of activation, was less than fifty centimeters in diameter, but by the time it approached the bronze gate, it had expanded into a massive column over a hundred meters in diameter, colliding with the mythical bronze gate.
Under the terrifying radiation energy wave and countless neutrons traveling at 20,000 kilometers per second, the force field around the bronze gate was instantly breached.
A series of intense, eardrum-shattering booms echoed through the underground space!
The ancient bronze gate and Cynthia behind it were engulfed in the scorching fire stream at the same time.
A pain that reached the soul surged through her brain, Cynthia acutely aware her body was disintegrating at the microscopic level, with invisible neutrons continuously penetrating the energy body, scattering the elements that constructed her form.
In the last millisecond, Cynthia only had time to firmly engrave Lynn's image in her memory, ensuring this piece of information wouldn't be forgotten, then the avatar was annihilated under the high-density energy column.
After obliterating the bronze gate and Cynthia, the massive energy column didn't stop, directly piercing through the underground, erasing the entire castle above, then continuously expanding and stretching, piercing the atmosphere towards the night sky.
The furthest point of the light column even exceeded three kilometers in diameter, looking from afar like an inverted giant light cone, a staircase to heaven!
Alade, who had just dealt with the demon beasts, also sensed this powerful energy, turning his head to see the light cone bursting from the ground, seemingly piercing heaven and earth, standing dumbfounded...
In fact, not just him, people across the kingdom and half the empire saw the energy column roaring into the stratosphere, and amidst shock and panic, countless devotees excitedly knelt on the ground, chanting the name of the Moon Goddess...
"The Lord, it must be the great Lord's descent!"
