Chapter 565: Chapter 497 The Origin of Magic Power and the Truth of the World!
The power of a nuclear explosion was truly terrifying, confined into a beam that struck down directly, causing the towering Holy Mountain Alusta to tremble violently as if it were about to collapse under the intense energy rush.
The better part of the mountain peak was flattened, countless boulders tumbled down, and the raised dust soared nearly a hundred feet high.
Such concentrated energy could completely penetrate a mountain, but contrary to Vittorio’s expectations, the energy pillar halted after burrowing into the mountain peak, after not too long.
It was as if it had encountered some sort of obstacle…
It wasn’t until the cone of light dispersed that the group could see what had stopped the energy column, it was magic stones.
A vast number of magic stones!
Lynn was shocked, he hadn’t expected that there was a uranium stone mine here, and so close to the Holy City at that!
They hadn’t felt even the slightest fluctuation of Magic Power before, which must have been the result of Alusta deliberately using Divine Arts to conceal it.
More importantly, at the center of the magic stone mine, at the end of their field of vision, where massive amounts of Magic Power converged, was a peculiar, continuously surging node of Magic Power, swirling like a vortex.
It was a Space-Time Gate!
Instantly, Lynn and the others understood Alusta’s plan, and in a split second, they all executed their most powerful tactics, desperately trying to prevent the other side from leaving.
The crimson Electromagnetic Railgun, the invisible blades of space, the powerful fifth-level laser beams—they all blasted towards the adversary.
However, Alusta’s actions didn’t show the slightest sign of hesitation, and amidst the surge of divine presence, the surrounding space twisted, deflecting and neutralizing all the attacks!
The initially sealed Space-Time Gate in front of them was set into motion again, the vortex expanding, swiftly engulfing the nearby Alusta.
It took Lynn and the others about half a minute to barely catch up.
With Electromagnetic Acceleration, their extreme speed could reach around one and a half times the speed of sound, but even so, they still couldn’t match Alusta, the Moon God, who could shorten distances.
Controlling space, that was just like cheating.
The activated Space-Time Gate began to shrink, signaling its imminent closure…
To chase or not to chase? This question, concerning life and death, instantly swirled in everyone’s minds.
After all, no one had ever entered a Space-Time Gate and come out alive!
Lynn and Harrov exchanged glances. Given their current condition, they didn’t dare to rashly give chase. Their bodies surged with Magic Power as they each created a magic avatar that plunged directly into the Space-Time Gate, intending to assess the situation inside first.
The next second, the two magic avatars vanished from sight, and both Lynn’s and Harrov’s faces changed, showing a look of shock.
“What happened?” Aurora quickly asked.
“My magic avatar disappeared,” Harrov said with an ugly expression.
While he knew the Space-Time Gate was not to be entered lightly, he had now reached the realm of legend, and even a single avatar possessed extraordinary power.
“Did Alusta do it?” Aurora’s expression was also disturbed, wondering if Alusta had been waiting on the other side of the Space-Time Gate and then exterminated their avatars with a counterattack.
Harrov did not respond but turned to look at Lynn.
“My magic avatar also disappeared, the very instant it entered!” Lynn’s face was equally grave. To be cautious, he had tasked his magic avatar with immediately using electromagnetic waves to communicate any information from the other side back to them.
But, the moment it was sucked into the Space-Time Gate, the connection to his soul was severed!
He speculated there could be two possibilities.
First, the other side of the Space-Time Gate could be incredibly dangerous, or guarded by someone extremely powerful. An avatar could have been instantly destroyed upon entry, unable to fight back or send any message.
Second, there was something abnormal about the place they entered, completely blocking their perception, thus breaking the connection!
Neither speculation boded well.
The former implied that they might not be able to enter, while the latter signified that once they entered, they might not be able to come back out!
“Where exactly does this thing lead to?” Lynn looked towards the gradually closing Space-Time Gate, muttering to himself with a frown.
However, he didn’t expect Harrov or the others to have an answer, as he had read the council’s records on the investigation and exploration of Space-Time Gates.
Unexpectedly, Vittorio suddenly spoke at that moment.
“Perhaps that is the origin of Magic Power, the very beginning!”
“The origin of Magic Power?” “The beginning…?”
Harrov and Aurora stared at Vittorio with astonishment and uncertainty, equally surprised that Vittorio would suddenly speak, and with such explosive words.
“What exactly does that mean?” Harrov did not like to beat around the bush and asked directly.
“You must have sensed it too when Alusta opened the Space-Time Gate,” Vittorio reminded them.
“Magic Power?!” Lynn’s mind raced, with his legendary perception, he naturally sensed that when Alusta opened the Space-Time Gate, a great deal of Magic Power emerged from within, even raising the region’s concentration of Magic Power considerably.
Combining that with Vittorio’s words, a terrifying conjecture emerged in Lynn’s mind.
Months ago, in the uranium stone mine, he had noticed a peculiar phenomenon—many of the protruding rocks displayed signs of partial fusion with the Magic Power.
Could it be possible that he had it backward all this time? It wasn’t that a natural Space-Time tunnel had been created by the massive accumulation of Magic Power inside the uranium stone mine, but that the continuous flow of Magic Power pouring in from the other side of the Space-Time Gate had permeated and created the mine!
