Chapter 563: Chapter 496: The Collapse of the Divine Kingdom, Ayla’s Self-Made Trap!
It is a concept defined by humans, abstract beyond compare, and even with the technological level of the former Federation, it couldn’t be completely understood.
However, in this alternate world, the combination of magic power and mental perception allowed Lynn to see the existence of space in an intuitive way.
Rows of close and orderly lines spread everywhere, like a tightly closed grid interweaving, connecting with each other—not in a static state of solidification but exhibiting a kind of active distortion!
String theory? Lynn thought subconsciously, only to quickly realize that the scene he was seeing did not correspond entirely with string theory.
Or perhaps space was presenting itself to his perception in a way he could understand!
This sense of distortion was the most severe around Aurora, with left and right inverted, space in disarray—that was why Aurora’s use of the electromagnetic railgun ended up backfiring on Harrov and Vittorio.
If one could go a step further, stretching or aggregating the spatial curves of the entire area, it would be possible to lengthen or shorten distances.
This was the ability Aurora had just shown!
Harrov had once tried to use force field magic to break through the space protections outside the Holy City but to little effect. Now, Lynn understood that it was because their control of space was far weaker than their adversary’s!
“Is it relying on the Divine Kingdom?” Lynn wondered silently. With the support of the magic net, not only could he see space, but he could also see these tortuous ‘lines’ covered in Aurora’s magic power—perhaps this was why she could easily influence and warp space and time.
The lines tainted with magic power dissipated when they reached him.
This was because the domain around him isolated Aurora’s magic power; space was not under her control. However, under the suppression of “Divine Kingdom’s Advent,” both his and Harrov’s domains were greatly limited—about three meters in radius.
Now with greatly enhanced computing power, his domain could potentially expand again, but Lynn did not attempt this, because no matter what, he could not outmatch Aurora.
His only advantage was that the enemy was exposed while he remained hidden; perhaps he could catch them by surprise.
He needed an opportunity!
And he would only have this chance once!
With a slight movement of his wrist, an invisible ripple was transmitted.
Harrov and the others looked at Lynn with suspicious astonishment, wondering if he was joking.
Aurora could sense this faint electromagnetic fluctuation but did not understand its purpose, nor could she stop it in time—after all, the signal traveled at the speed of light and it was already too late by the time she became aware.
Aurora’s already icy countenance became even more severe as her gaze filled with deadly intent when looking at Lynn.
In Fire Oil City, she had realized that the transformation of Wizard Land could almost entirely be attributed to this young wizard who appeared to be only about twenty years old!
He was the greatest threat and had to be dealt with first!
As thoughts raced through her mind, Aurora had already initiated her control over space; the originally straight lines in front of her started to bend inward, and Lynn was pulled over by an inexplicable force…
Actually, he didn’t move—it was just that the distance between them had been shortened, and to the outside world, it looked as though he had been dragged over.
What is this? Universal Attraction?
Lynn thought to himself, but his movements did not halt. Several iron balls appeared in the void, propelled by electromagnetic force, shooting straight towards Aurora.
Seeing the curvature of space, he could also see that “curve” through which he could successfully bypass the force field defenses and strike the opponent!
Confronting the incoming crimson iron balls, Aurora opened her mouth.
A breath of extreme coldness was exhaled, the bone-chilling frigidness and deathly stillness seemed to freeze time and space; in an instant, all elements nearby were fixated, and the swiftly flying iron balls were directly halted in place.
The chill quickly swept towards Lynn.
The latter remained composed, for the support he sought had arrived!
A pillar of immense energy came first, the terrifying stream of fire directly encompassed much of the Divine Kingdom.
The sudden attack completely caught Aurora off guard, because it was not Harrov or the others inside the Divine Kingdom who had used “Atomic Breath.”
In fact, the attack came from outside the Divine Kingdom—it was the Sun Flame Cannon!
The earlier electromagnetic wave was not only for Harrov, Aurora, and Vittorio, but also a message to Rafael outside—immediately launch the Sun Flame Cannon!
Do not hesitate or aim, just open fire in their direction!
This order was undoubtedly very confusing, even Lynn could not be completely sure whether Rafael and the others would dare to carry it out because at that moment, they were all within the range of the Sun Flame Cannon’s assault.
Fortunately, the Grand Wizards outside the field had better judgment of the situation than he expected, with excellent timing for their attack.
Since they were outside of the Divine Kingdom, the Sun Flame Cannon completely avoided Aurora’s perception while it was charging, and the moment it was launched, even if she sensed it, it was meaningless!
Because when the light column rushed over, its diameter exceeded fifteen hundred meters, directly covering most of the Divine Domain; there was simply no chance to dodge.
Everyone was forced to endure this wave of assault!
