I Created Scientific Magic

Ragnar also suppressed the unease in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by the alarms going off in his mind.

Through the shelter of the forest, an intensely brilliant light flared up in the distance.

Was it morning already?

This question popped up in everyone's minds, but they had set out around one in the morning, and it was far from the time when the Sun would rise.

Yet the light kept getting brighter and brighter, and within a second, the entire sky was painted a crimson red, with a brightness that even the midday sun could not match!

"Ah~ My eyes!"

Screams erupted one after another. The intense radiation of the light, even from kilometers away, was overwhelming, and those soldiers who looked up felt as if their eyes were being scorched.

Then, the ground shook violently, and a deafening roar erupted as a giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky!

Although the forest obscured their view and they could not see clearly what had happened, panic inevitably spread among everyone.

Some even believed it was a sign of the apocalypse!

"Everyone, don't panic!" Ragnar shouted loudly, stabilizing the scattering spirits.

"This must be the Lord's power!" "It's the great Moon Goddess, the creator of all things, punishing the evil!"

As Ragnar spoke, his tone became more and more resolute.

The bishops, priests, and devout believers were immediately convinced, for in their minds, only the Lord had such terrifying power to change heaven and earth!

Nobody wanted to believe that such powerful force was the handiwork of evil!

"Ah! Praise you, great Lord, your power dims even the morning star!" a bishop exclaimed fervently,

Some fervent priests dismounted and knelt to pray on the ground.

The blinding light rapidly drew closer, and the red-robed bishop opened his arms wide to welcome the coming divine light!

However, Ragnar realized something was wrong because the light sweeping towards them was mixed with unbearable high temperatures, and most importantly, he did not feel any divine power in it.

This was definitely not the Lord's power!

A look of horror appeared on Ragnar's face, but in the next moment, the blinding firelight and the high-energy shock wave had already swept past the dense woods...

The massive trees were instantly splintered, the thick ground turned into boundless scorched earth, and the red-robed bishop who had opened his arms to embrace the divine light became a charred corpse in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers of the empire, more unfortunate than these bishops, vaporized along with their armor, becoming part of nature.

Above them, about three kilometers away, the remaining sixty-odd airships were violently shaking under the immense wind pressure.

"Speed up, speed up, don't stop!" Philip urged urgently aboard one of the airships. At this rate, they could be overtaken by the shockwave.

"This is already the maximum speed, Wizard sir!" The pilots, with their backs to the situation, only focused on controlling the airships, not daring to look back at the light.

Only those like Philip, who had donned alchemical goggles, could behold the spectacle of the nuclear explosion...

According to Master Lynn, the light was too intense to look at directly with the naked eye, but it was still observable to some extent with alchemical goggles that could block ultraviolet rays.

Even though the brightness of the light was weakened by dozens of times, tears still streamed from their eyes due to the sting.

"Is this Master Lynn's new magic?" Tic's voice trembled as he looked at the crumbling mountains, the steaming rivers, and the ground that had turned to glassy scorched earth under the terrifying heatwave. "This is simply..."

Tic was at a loss for words for a while before he managed to speak. "It's almost like the Sun has fallen from the sky!"

Tic's words captured everyone's feelings. Other than describing it as the Sun's fall, they could find no other words.

Can magic really possess such power?

Doubts arose in everyone's hearts.

And this was just the aftermath; the power at its core could only be more terrifying.

Perhaps, only such immense force could confront that false god!

Fortunately, Tic soon discovered that the speed of the shockwave below was slowing down as it spread out. It was no longer as fierce as before, and thus an airship traveling at roughly a hundred kilometers per hour should be able to escape the range of the nuclear blast if it started to evade in advance.

...

At the moment the nuclear explosion sounded, the battle in Fire Oil City, located tens of kilometers away, had entered an intensely heated stage!

The attack by Anthony and the others was very successful. With the main forces drawn away, the poorly defended Fire Oil City couldn't withstand for ten minutes before being successfully breached by them. But the subsequent arrival of Joshua with thousands of divine punishment troops caught them by surprise!

A legendary Wizard and A Grand Wizard had a gap as wide as the heavens between them.

Within just three minutes of the battle, two of the seven Grand Wizards besieging Joshua had fallen!

The remaining five were all injured.

Anthony's injuries were the most severe, with a deep, bone-revealing gash across his chest.

Joshua, on the other hand, appeared nonchalant; only the right side of his robe had been burned away, and the scepter in his hand was broken in half.

Alade and the others involved in the assault were going all out, yet they still saw no chance of defeating the opponent and couldn't help but consider retreat.

"Gentlemen, it won't be long before the councilors will have dealt with that Holy Maiden and return to our aid!" Anthony encouraged his troops.

Although their plan had some mishaps, as long as they could delay this Judgement Chief here, Lynn and the others would be under much less pressure, allowing the plan to proceed more smoothly!

"Aid?" Joshua scoffed. "You have no idea what kind of opponent they are up against!"

Church Bishops and Priests usually deemed the Papal Holy Maiden merely a decorative attendant chosen to serve God, a pretty vase.

But only the high ranks understood the indispensable reason for the Holy Maiden's existence.

Because she is the embodiment of the Lord!

No matter how many "legendaries" these Wizards claimed to be, even if their numbers were multiplied several times, they would be crushed directly under the mighty power of the Lord!

"Let's end this," Joshua's voice turned very cold.

It seemed without invoking some of Divine Kingdom's power, he could not eliminate these Wizards in a short time!

"This place is a Divine Domain; all evil shall vanish!" Joshua prayed aloud.

Anthony and the others looked solemn, fully aware of the formidable strength of Divine Kingdom, a power they could not hope to confront.

Joshua's voice echoed throughout the area. Yet, against all expectations, no anomaly occurred.

The Wizards present were puzzled, wondering if the opponent was trying to intimidate them with bluffs.

Joshua's face turned extremely unsightly as he spat out blood from the severe backlash of the Divine Arts. What horrified him more was that the Divine Power within his body was being drained away...

The great Lord had actually cut off his energy supply, causing the Divine Domain which had yet to fully form to collapse instantly.

"Chain Lightning!" Although Anthony did not understand why the opponent had suddenly stopped attacking, he did not let the opportunity pass. A blur of blue-purple lightning struck Joshua down to the ground instantaneously.

Alade and others watched incredulously as the imposing Judgement Chief who had just been dominating them in battle was hit by a second-tier spell, all wearing expressions of bewilderment, even wondering if this was some kind of illusionary Divine Arts meant to lower their guard.

While everyone was confused, a powerful energy fluctuation that caused trepidation approached from afar. Anthony turned his head sharply, and only then did he see that in the night sky... a sun had risen!
