Chapter 566 -497: The Origin of Magic Power and the Truth of the World!_2
Just as these legendary Wizards were capable of creating bodies with magic power and energy, perhaps they also possessed some condition that could transform ordinary ores into magic stones imbued with magic power—the crystallization of magic and matter!
But if this conjecture is correct, it signifies a terrifying truth that the magic power of this world might come entirely from the other side of the Space-Time Gate…
“Are you certain?” Aurora obviously also thought of this and found it somewhat unbelievable.
“Not certain…” Vittorio said hesitantly. “This is the information I extracted from the brain of the commander of the Divine Punishment Army, Gustav; I have no way to confirm its authenticity.”
Vittorio’s expression was no better than Lynn and the others’. They used to believe that magic power, like the elements, was a fundamental existence that constituted the world. However, they learned from Gustav that magic power comes from beyond this world.
If this news were to spread, it would probably cause a sensation among Wizards, and the theory of the Wizards’ origins would be overturned once again!
Vittorio had thought of opening the sealed Space-Time Gate within Wizard Land once after resolving the issues here to verify the truth and see if a massive influx of magic power would enter before mentioning this matter.
Harrov was also profoundly shaken for a while before he suddenly asked. “What about Aila? Does she also come from the other side of the Space-Time Gate?”
Aila possessed the ability to open and close the Space-Time Gate, whereas they could only restrict and seal it with great difficulty through Alchemy. The difference was clear.
“How would I know?” Vittorio shook his head. The information he obtained from Gustav’s mind was limited, and he would not have been able to extract such uncertain intelligence from Gustav’s intensely fluctuating thoughts if it weren’t for Lynn taking Ivina to properly provoke him.
After a pause, Vittorio spoke again. “Perhaps the archives of the Holy City might have records about the other side of the Space-Time Gate.”
If Aila came from outside the Space-Time Gate, she would definitely have some understanding of the other side.
If not, the church that had ruled the entire continent for hundreds of years would surely have conducted some research, and it is highly likely that these research materials were recorded and placed in a hidden location.
“Holy City?” Lynn glanced back at the vast city that had already collapsed and sunk into the ground. He felt that finding the archives containing information about the Space-Time Gate in this pile of ruins was not an easy task.
“What a pity…” Watching the rotating Space-Time Gate completely close, Aurora couldn’t help but sigh. This was probably the best opportunity to kill Aila.
Due to the Sky Dome Tower being destroyed by them, something likely went wrong with this false god of the church, which enabled them to seize the opportunity to defeat the opponent.
“But we have no means to kill her at all,” Harrov said with a sense of helplessness. They had exhausted all their methods in the recent battle, and even such a high-density nuclear explosion could not destroy that bizarre crystal.
He couldn’t even think of how to truly kill her, nor did he know why Aila suddenly fled. If she had held on for a few more minutes, they would have been the ones considering escape.
“Let’s seal this Space-Time Gate first!” Vittorio clasped his hands and made several complex gestures, and streams of Rune Chains shot out from the domain around him, wrapping around the nearby space-time node.
Lynn stepped forward as well, using his slight ability to manipulate space to work with Vittorio and twist the surrounding fluctuating space curvature.
Last time they sealed the space-time node within Wizard Land, it took three council members, nine Grand Wizards, and half a month’s time to complete the task.
Now that Vittorio had broken through to legend, the process was naturally much less troublesome. With Lynn’s assistance, in about half an hour, the constantly rotating spatial vortex nearly ceased within the magic stone mine, leaving only a cerulean space-time node at its core.
Of course, whether this seal could actually prevent Aila from opening the door again was uncertain.
The greatest function of this device was that they could immediately sense any disturbance in the Space-Time Gate.
“The other Space-Time Gates scattered across the continent also need some attention,” Aurora reminded them. Otherwise, the opponent might slip through another node.
They temporarily had no way to kill Aila and did not dare to recklessly enter the Space-Time Gate, so they could only try to block her way back first!
After sealing the space-time node, everyone looked rather grim on the way back.
The outcome of the battle had completely exceeded their expectations, and the questions in their hearts had only multiplied rather than diminished.
Lynn was also thinking of the peculiar crystal he had seen earlier, which might be the method Erath had discovered to dissolve the poison of faith.
Godhood?
Lynn immediately thought of this term and temporarily used it as the name for the object.
It had survived an underground nuclear explosion without a scratch, so it was very likely related to more minute forces.
Unlike Harrov and others who blindly believed in the immense power of nuclear explosions, thinking they could flatten everything, Lynn was well aware of the limitations of fission and fusion.
There were plenty of things it could not destroy, such as neutrons, protons, or even more microscopic quarks, gluons, and then there was space…
Even a hundred-billion-ton nuclear explosion had no chance of destroying space; at most, it could cause intense spatial fluctuations. As for larger yields, the federation had never experimented with them, due to the low efficiency of mass-energy conversion in nuclear explosions, which would be too wasteful of resources.

“Honorable council members, what happened to that pseudo-god? Is she dead?”
As they saw Lynn and others flying back from the other side of the Holy City, a group of wizards promptly came up to greet them and asked.
“We’ll talk about that later when we reconvene,” Lynn said, glancing over at the kingdom’s troops and showing no intention of divulging information there. He then moved on, praising them, “You all did very well, and the timing to release the Sun Flame Cannon was very accurate.”
“We almost thought that Erath had broken the electromagnetic signal and sent us a message,” Rafael said, still shaken.
The wizards were all too aware of the Sun Flame Cannon’s might; a single shot could not only take out that church’s pseudo-god, but Lynn and his allies could very well have been destroyed too.
Making the decision to fire entailed a tremendous amount of pressure, and nobody dared take that responsibility.
Thus, at the moment they received the transmission, they conducted a swift vote: out of thirteen arch-wizards, six voted to proceed, five opposed, and two abstained…
It turned out that the decision to fire had been made by a vote, which left Lynn with mixed feelings, but he could also understand; after all, his command had indeed been somewhat bizarre, and the situation at the time left no room for detailed explanations, as the opportunity for battle was fleeting.
“So, what should we do now?” Arch-wizard Alade asked, puzzled.
They had finally arrived in front of the Holy City, expecting to face off against the church’s elite forces, only for Lynn to collapse the entire city with an underground nuclear explosion.
Apart from the cannon fire earlier, they had accomplished nothing else.
“There’s too much to deal with now, and we need people everywhere; there’s plenty for you to be busy with.”
Lynn shook his head and instructed the arch-wizards to lead the kingdom’s troops in organizing excavation work in various areas within the Holy City; it was a huge mess.
“Be particularly careful—some cardinals may have survived the collapse! Also, if you find any survivors, interrogate them quickly to discover the location of the church’s hidden library, and prioritize excavating it!”
Lynn added, and then he flew towards the nearest space-time gate location with Vittorio, as they needed to seal all the remaining space-time nodes.
Meanwhile, the matters of the Holy City were temporarily handed over to Harrov and Aurora.
