I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Chapter 496: The Collapse of the Divine Realm, Aila's Self-Inflicted Trap!

What is space? It's a concept defined by humans, abstract to the core, something that even with the technology level of the past federations, was not fully understood.

Yet, in this otherworld, the combination of magic and mental perception allows Lynn to see the existence of space in an intuitive way.

Lines, dense and orderly, stretch across every corner like a tightly closed grid, interlocking with each other, not static, but exhibiting a lively twist!

String theory? Lynn thought subconsciously, only to quickly realize that what he saw didn't completely align with it.

Or to say, space was presenting itself to him in a way he could understand!

This distortion was most severe near Aila, causing confusion in spatial orientation. This was why Aurora's electromagnetic railgun backfired, attacking Harof and Victorio instead.

If one could further stretch or condense the space in an area, it would be possible to lengthen or shorten distances.

This was the ability Aila had just displayed!

Previously, Harof tried to use force field magic to break through the spatial protection outside the holy city, but to little effect. Now, Lynn understood that their control over space was far weaker than their opponents.

"Is it because of the Divine Realm?" Lynn thought to himself. With the enhancement of the magic net, not only could he see space, but he could also see these twisting 'lines' imbued with Aila's magic power, perhaps the reason she could easily influence and warp spacetime.

And these magic-laden lines disappeared as they reached him.

This was because his own domain isolated Aila's magic power; the space around him was not under her control. However, under the suppression of "Divine Realm Descent," both his and others' domains, like Harof's, were greatly restricted, about three meters in radius.

Now, with greatly increased computing power, he could potentially expand it again, but Lynn didn't try. No matter what, he couldn't outmatch Aila.

His only advantage was the element of surprise, possibly catching her off guard.

He needed an opportunity! And this opportunity was only once! With a flick of his wrist, Lynn sent out an invisible ripple.

Harof and others looked towards Lynn, wondering if he was joking.

Aila, of course, detected this faint electromagnetic fluctuation, puzzled by its meaning, too late to stop it. For this signal traveled at the speed of light, too late by the time she knew.

Aila's face, already cold, turned even colder, her murderous intent towards Lynn deepening.

During her time in the City of Fire Oil, she had learned that the changes in the land of wizards were almost entirely orchestrated by this young-looking wizard!

He was the biggest threat and needed to be dealt with first!

As thoughts flickered through her mind, Aila had already activated her control over space. The originally straight lines began to bend inward, pulling Lynn towards her...

In fact, he didn't move, but the distance between them shortened, appearing as if he was dragged closer.

What is this, an attraction of all phenomena? Lynn thought, but he didn't stop his actions. Several iron spheres appeared out of thin air, propelled towards Aila by electromagnetic force. ȑÁ₦ò𐌱Ε𐌔

He could see the curvature of space, naturally, he could find the "line" that would bypass the force field protection and hit the target!

Facing the incoming red-hot iron spheres, Aila opened her mouth.

A chilling breath exhaled, freezing the elements around her, the iron spheres halting mid-air.

This cold wave quickly swept towards Lynn.

He remained calm, his support had arrived!

A powerful energy pillar arrived first, engulfing much of the Divine Realm in a terrifying fire.

This attack was beyond Aila's expectations, not from Harof and others inside the Divine Realm, but from the Solar Cannon outside!

The electromagnetic wave wasn't just for Harof, Aurora, and Victorio, but also a message to Raphael outside - launch the Solar Cannon now!

Don't hesitate, don't aim, just fire!

This command was quite confusing, even Lynn wasn't sure if Raphael and the others would dare to execute it because they were all within the attack range of the Solar Cannon.

Fortunately, the wizards outside judged the situation better than he expected, launching the attack at a clever moment.

Since it was outside the Divine Realm, the Solar Cannon's charging was completely undetected by Aila, and by the time it was launched, even sensing it was meaningless. When the light column swept over, its diameter exceeding fifteen hundred meters, covering most of the Divine Realm, there was no chance to dodge.

Everyone was forced to withstand this attack!

Even though the light column started far away and its power was somewhat dispersed, its strength was still formidable!

Victorio, Harof, and Aurora, having received the electromagnetic signal, gathered together to resist the invasion of the Solar Cannon

.

Lynn relied on a graphene shield to withstand this strike!

His perception was completely shielded at this moment, only feeling endless light and heat around him, the magnetic field shield outside was rapidly disintegrating, and the hexagonal crystals resembling two-dimensional objects were being stripped layer by layer!

Clearly, Lynn overestimated the protective capability of graphene; if he were at the center of a nuclear explosion now, he would have already died!

Fortunately, having traveled such a distance, the power of the Solar Cannon was much dispersed, allowing him to barely block it.

But also surviving the energy wave was that Moon God!

The weakened power of the Solar Cannon couldn't kill them, let alone Aila herself.

However, as the perception was shielded by the firelight and energy wave, even fearless, Aila dared not act rashly. When the firelight dissipated, Lynn had already used the earlier spatial pull to close the distance to within ten meters.

"True Realm!" Lynn didn't give the opponent a chance to react, directly activating the projection of the cosmos in his mind!

A vast expanse of dark void descended within the Divine Realm projection!

Under normal circumstances, he had no power to suppress it with his domain, but now was different!

Unlike them, floating in the void, only partially enduring the energy baptism, the entire Divine Realm projection almost fully bore the brunt of the Solar Cannon!

Lynn clearly saw that the magic power belonging to Aila on the spatial curves weakened a lot.

This was the moment he had been waiting for!

As Aila was shocked that the Divine Realm projection was suppressed, a massive figure quietly appeared behind her, its tentacles entering the force field protection in a bizarre angle, the suction-cup-laden tentacles tightly binding Aila's body.

Then, a low roar from the ancient times emanated from the mouth of the Eye of Death.

It was a mournful wail!

Streams of brilliant starfire ignited around Aila, engulfing the massive beastly shadow. This soul-melting flame was extremely powerful, even the Eye of Death couldn't bear it.

Lynn closed the distance again, intending to press the dark, round iron ball onto Aila's face.

But in that moment, Aila had already regained control of her domain, the Divine Realm projection reappeared.

Seeing Lynn's solemn face, ready to die together, Aila naturally didn't allow him to get close.

In that instant, divine energy fluctuated within the godhood, space stretched, and Lynn, flying at sonic speeds, suddenly found himself getting farther and farther away from her.

He felt like Achilles, who could never catch up to the tortoise.

Space stretched!

Lynn instantly understood.

Aila, however, had no more attention to spare for him, as a strong magical fluctuation came from beside her.

It was Harof and Aurora's "Endgame - Atomic Breath" ready to launch!

Ripples rose again in the sea of the Divine Realm, Aila, despite the constant prayers echoing in her brain, twisted the spatial curvature around her.

Two terrifying energy columns arrived in an instant, affected by the twisted space, placing the central Moon God like in the center of a whirlpool, unharmed despite the turbulent flows outside...

But a sense of crisis in her mind didn't dissipate.

If the threat wasn't from the outside, it must be from within!

Aila suddenly turned her head, the Eye of Death, bound and being burned by starfire, had its mouth wide open, revealing sharp teeth, a human-head-sized silver sphere already bursting with dazzling light!

This was a Uranium-235 assembly!

The council had mined enough uranium ore over the months for fifteen critical mass nuclear explosions, aside from three used for the Solar Cannon, the rest were here!

The one Lynn held was actually a fake, a desperate bid for a chance at survival, betting Aila wouldn't dare let him get close!

He won the bet!

The dazzling light of the nuclear explosion flashed within the Divine Realm, creating a force field protection outside, Aila was trapped by her own doing, because that meant most of the nuclear explosion's energy was locked inside.

A blue sun rose over the holy city, powerful energy surging at its center, eventually breaking through the force field protection, ejecting a large amount of material like solar flares, then pushed back by two "Endgame - Atomic Breath" energy waves!

He signaled Harof and Aurora to use "Endgame - Atomic Breath", not to attack Aila, but to withstand the terrifying nuclear strike!

Crack...

With a soul-piercing sound, the surrounding space quickly shattered!

The Divine Realm projection was broken!

"She must be dead, right?" Harof looked towards the small sun, just over a dozen meters in diameter but as bright as white-hot, and spoke with a heavy expression.

For anyone else, under such an attack, it would be the end, no chance of survival.

But their opponent was the church's false god, whose

abilities had just proven to be terrifying, leaving Harof somewhat unsure.

Lynn didn't respond, his gaze fixed on the center of the explosion. The blast lasted for over ten minutes before gradually subsiding, and no trace of Aila's brilliant figure remained.

Within the space affected by the nuclear strike, a weird polygonal crystal still floated there, though much dimmer than before...

"What exactly is this thing?" Harof was at his wit's end. The energy of ten nuclear strikes, yet it couldn't be destroyed!

He was about to curse!

Because Aila's figure reappeared before them, materializing from the void.

Lynn, Aurora, and Victorio thought of fleeing!

Their condition was dire, the continuous battles plus the use of "Endgame - Atomic Breath", their exhaustion was terrifying.

Unexpectedly, Aila fled first!

Transforming into a streak of light, she sped towards the west of the holy city.

"Stop her!" Lynn immediately reacted. The enemy fleeing first meant their methods were not ineffective.

Now was the time to kick them while they're down, climb the tree to pull up the ladder!

A series of laser beams arrived in an instant, cutting towards that fleeing figure from all directions. The godhood trembled again, diverting the beams, but Aila's complexion worsened.

Her magic power had become extremely weak, the balance of power within the godhood long lost, so every use of the godhood's power partially assimilated her own.

In fact, if it weren't for the moment before the nuclear blast, when she left a part of her magic power and soul in the godhood, she would have already died.

The moon in the sky continuously infused her with power, Aila's manifested appearance subtly changing, becoming more like the true Moon God, Diana.

She must flee from here, away from the moon, Aila thought with singular focus...

"Her target is Mount Arlus!" Harof immediately analyzed.

Right now, Lynn and others were flying at supersonic speeds using electromagnetic fields, but Aila, accelerating by pulling on space, was not slower, even faster!

At this rate, she would reach the destination before them!

The pursuing group didn't know what Aila intended to do but didn't want to let her succeed. Victorio, the only one with some energy left, began charging "Endgame - Atomic Breath".

About three seconds later, a terrifying energy column arrived instantly, hitting the towering sacred mountain before Aila could reach!
