I Created Scientific Magic

Chapter 445: Chapter 431 Tremors of the Holy City Chapter 445: Chapter 431 Tremors of the Holy City As for the rumors of star fall, Wizards who have some knowledge in astronomy all understand that this is completely groundless!

According to calculations by the Prophecy School, the mass of the sun is hundreds of thousands of times that of the planet below, so who could shake such a gigantic entity?

“Indeed, that is the new magic I have developed, which I have named Big Nuclear Explosion Technique!” Lynn nodded, and by now, there was no need for further secrecy.

“As for that Holy Maiden of the Church, she has already died under Master Lynn’s new magic, and by now, there should be nothing left of her!” Aurora added.

Although they had suspected it, the confirmation still made the gathered Wizards feel somewhat incredulous.

This Big Nuclear Explosion Technique in their eyes had already surpassed the realm of magic and could only be described as a Heavenly Disaster!

It’s worth noting that Lynn, who had cast this magic, had only advanced to the rank of a four-ring Wizard a few months ago!

This star of magic was undeniably excessively formidable.

Anthony’s thoughts shifted, feeling that Lynn might have regained his former strength, which is why he was able to execute such a catastrophic magic.

Alade and others immediately thought that this new magic was likely related to the prior atomic nucleus theory and newly discovered elements.

Lynn did not elaborate much on the principles of the Nuclear Explosion Magic, as it was too dangerous and not yet suitable to be made public, so he changed the topic and inquired about the progress on the other side.

“Before we took down Fire Oil City, everything proceeded exactly as you anticipated. However, afterward, we encountered Judgement Chief Joshua leading the divine punishment forces back as reinforcements…”

Anthony explained the entire situation as concisely as possible.

On hearing that Joshua, despite being in an absolutely advantageous position, suddenly lost the ability to resist and was captured alive by several great Wizards, the council members exchanged glances and quickly realized that this was the effect of defeating Saintess Lucia.

Undoubtedly, this was good news; it proved that Harrov’s guess was correct. The incarnation of “Era” was extremely important, even affecting a high-ranking church official like the Judgement Chief!

Aurora pondered for a moment and then suddenly asked, “Master Alade, please do me a favor tonight and find a way to verify whether those captured Priests and Bishops can still cast Divine Arts!”

This was undoubtedly the best method to assess the state of the opposition.

…

The unrest of the night passed quickly, but the impact of the Nuclear Explosion Magic continued to intensify.

The entire western frontier of the empire felt that strong vibration, and the huge mushroom cloud that rose in the night sky was clearly visible from tens of kilometers away.

The nearest, Earl Poppe, immediately dispatched his confidants to investigate, but these scouts all returned frightened out of their wits; after hearing their descriptions, the great Earl also got scared and packed up overnight to flee to the Holy City…

Meanwhile, the news of the Holy Maiden Lucia’s death and the church’s army’s defeat spread like the wind in all directions as a large number of imperial soldiers fled…

At that moment, the Holy City of the empire was in complete disarray.

Within the city, under the Divine Power, the flowers that were said to never wither began to decay and wilt.

The higher the rank of the Bishops, the more they could sense this unease.

Soon, tens of thousands of Bishops gathered inside the Sky Dome Tower, anxiously waiting for the Pope’s explanation.

And the command they received was only one, to immediately proceed with the selection and baptism ceremony of the new Holy Maiden!

This command was sudden because the Church had never had the precedent of having two Holy Maidens unless the previous one had ascended to heaven or met some accident.

The baptism ceremony was to be witnessed by hundreds of thousands of believers, but now there was no time to attend to such details, as a new Holy Maiden had to be chosen with utmost speed!

Under the operation of the Church, a young, beautiful girl with talent was quickly selected and stepped into the Sky Dome Tower amid the envious glances of the crowd!

The high prayers soon resounded through the entire Sky Dome Tower.

The pure girl, with her aspirations, hopes, and devout faithfulness to the Lord, stood at the center of the Divine Array, as if she were a sacrifice.

Along with the infusion of Divine Power, a terrifying pressure emerged within the Array.

In an instant, a massive beam of divine light pierced the sky, covering the girl, whose body gradually levitated and her dress swayed with the wind, her eyes, full of aspiration and piety, began to emit a star-like gleam.

[Great, Holy, Just, and Merciful Lord, You are the brightest star in the sky, the Creator of all!] [Praise the Lord, I pray for Your forgiveness of my sins, that I may be welcomed into the Divine Kingdom after death!] [Please grant me the power to conquer evil…]

Various confessions and prayers endlessly entered the girl’s mind, her eyes a blur, but soon these voices weakened, and the divine light that pierced heaven and earth suddenly vanished.

The levitating body slowly descended from mid-air!

“Holy Maiden!”

The Church’s high-ranking officials who stayed within the Holy City knelt on one knee to salute.

The girl seemed not yet to have recovered from the previous mental shock, her mind in chaos for about three to five seconds until her eyes gradually cleared, and then she looked toward the others and spoke.

“You did well, Alvis, choosing you as the Pope was indeed the right decision!”

If it had been just a few hours later, her consciousness might have been corroded by the poison of faith, completely submerged in endless prayers.

The faith of tens of millions of people was not so easy to bear!

Even with her computing power, she could not resist the overwhelming surge of these consciousnesses…

“I merely followed Your will, doing what needed to be done,” Pope Alvis responded respectfully, without any intent to take credit.

Saint Randall, standing on the side, incomprehensively inquired, “My Lord, what exactly happened, how could You…”

To proceed with the selection of a Holy Maiden again only meant one thing: the previous Holy Maiden had died!

But… how could that be possible?

And who could kill the Church’s Holy Maiden, the embodiment of the Lord?

“Could the power of those wizards really be that formidable?” Randall was shocked.

“No, their power is negligible,” Alade shook her head; she had encountered those legendary wizards before and even their strange Beam Magic was not fatal to her.

“Only that technique was an exception!” the Holy Maiden’s eyes sharpened and became dangerous as she spoke.

Pope Alvis felt a sinking feeling in his heart, immediately thinking of something.

Just at dusk, Earl Pop who had been rushing from the borderlands for a day and night arrived at the Holy City, bringing news that provoked laughter—the wizards had pulled the Sun down from the sky!
