Chapter 480: The Power to Pierce the Atmosphere! The End—Atomic Breath!
Breaking the sound barrier with his physical body was a concept Lynn had entertained before.
Since they were no longer frail carbon-based life forms, speed and strength should not be so greatly limited!
Only after truly ascending to legend did Lynn understand that the issue indeed lay in acceleration.
Previously, grand wizards utilized force field magic for flight, a sophisticated anti-gravity method that was indeed slow. Lynn then had the idea to use magnetic fields to increase his own speed.
Like launching an electromagnetic cannon, he propelled himself in an instant!
This method of acceleration was undoubtedly crude, but its speed was unquestionably unrivaled.
Just a second's accumulation of electromagnetic acceleration increased Lynn's speed to one and a half times the speed of sound, turning his energy body into a steel form mid-air.
The immense mass, combined with unprecedented speed, unleashed a punch with the power akin to a thermobaric bomb. Accompanied by a massive sonic boom, Cynthia was blasted hundreds of meters away, crashing deeply into the ground.
"So fast!" Harof's pupils shrank; he had heard someone mention the idea of breaking the sound barrier with the physical body before, but had regarded it as a fanciful dream. He never expected Lynn to achieve such an incredible feat upon just stepping into legend!
For formal wizards like Yulande and others, they could only see faint afterimages and the sweeping sonic booms...
As the target of persecution, Cynthia was stupefied by this extraordinary heavy hit, like colliding with a meteorite at high speed. Her energy form nearly dissipated from the impact.
However, before she could recover, Lynn was already in front of her again.
Cynthia's face changed dramatically, raising her right hand to cast divine magic, but someone's speed was evidently faster. A blade shimmering with magical fluorescence, several meters long, materialized in his hand, sweeping down in a slash!
Divine barriers appeared in front of her, but they were like paper, instantly breached, and the blade directly chopped off Cynthia's right arm!
This was the high-frequency vibrating particle blade!
Utilizing the legendary wizard's powerful control over mimetic elements, Lynn used atoms vibrating and circulating hundreds of thousands of times per second as the blade edge, achieving atomic-level cutting!
"This is for Aurora!"
After the strike, Lynn withdrew the blade. Cutting wounds had limited destructive power against energy bodies, then his real 'iron fist', larger than a sandbag, directly targeted Cynthia's head!
"This punch is for Councilor Harof!"
The heavy punch hit Cynthia's face directly, and the ground collapsed with intense booming sounds, dense cracks spreading out like spider webs...
Harof and Aurora, who were observing, naturally heard Lynn's shouts, feeling both amused and touched, grateful for their efforts in delaying Cynthia.
Cynthia suffered several heavy hits, a humiliation beyond limits. It wasn't hard for her to predict Lynn's moves and react, but their speeds were worlds apart!
Since the end of the Faith War, she had never been suppressed in direct combat, much less humiliated and beaten into the ground.
Even if this was just an avatar!
"Time Stop!" Before the massive iron fist could smash down again, Cynthia harshly uttered.
The elements tainted by divine power within the projection of the divine kingdom seemed to receive an order, all freezing in place, a terrifying chill spreading rapidly in all directions.
As Lynn was about to use the ultimate physical attack to obliterate this divine avatar until its energy was depleted, he was forced to halt.
The chill was spreading within his domain, though its expansion was significantly slower, only about one percent of the outside world...
They had been routed in their assault on the Church's saint due to the divine kingdom projection easily suppressing the domains of grand wizards.
But fortunately, having ascended to legend, he possessed some resistance and countermeasures.
Absolute zero invading the domain would take at least five seconds to reach his body, enough for thirty punches, potentially enough to burst the opponent or force a halt to the spell.
So he continued to strike!
Lynn's movements were relentless, landing several punches, each accurately hitting Cynthia's head.
If Victorio were here and Harof and Aurora had also completed their ascension, combining the strength of several seventh-circle wizards might give them a fighting chance!
"Then let's try this!" Lynn extended his hand, uranium elements emerging in his palm, initially scattered but then converging into a solid sphere.
As a legendary wizard, he, like Victorio, possessed the ability to mimic and analyze all elements.
Most importantly, after venting his frustration, Lynn abruptly remembered: he was a mage, not a warrior!
"What does he plan to do? Use a massive nuclear spell here?" Harof, just recovering from the shock of the descent, looked towards Lynn, a chill running down his spine.
Harof was well aware that if such power were unleashed in this underground space, everyone present would die.
Lynn ignored the thoughts of others, focusing all his attention on the uranium elements in his palms, nearing the critical point, the space held by his hands showing visible ripples.
The terror of nuclear magic was indescribable, and even having ascended to legend, Lynn had no confidence in surviving at the center of a nuclear blast. However, not being able to resist directly didn't mean he couldn't utilize this force!
The key lay in guidance, such as through warped space and strong magnetic fields, directing the nuclear explosion's energy in one direction...
Much like how they constrained the fusion reactor before, only with more than tenfold the difficulty...
At this moment, Cynthia also sensed the incoming danger, but being engaged in guiding the descent, she couldn't spare the effort to interrupt Lynn's spell, only speeding up her own casting.
The previously ethereal bronze gate had become incredibly solid, fully emerging from the void, the door slightly ajar, and the divine kingdom projection becoming more potent than before.
Harof and Aurora, among others,
felt their domains completely suppressed, with Raphael and the rest unable to move.
Even Lynn was not an exception, his domain nearly compressed to half its original size.
Fortunately, Lynn's preparation had also reached its peak, all the energy and magic absorbed during the ascension ceremony transformed into more uranium-235. At the critical point, a heart-stopping bright light suddenly emerged at the center of his hands.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of all, stray fire streams, terrifying energy waves, and temperatures of billions of degrees exploded simultaneously!
"I call it..."
"The End—Atomic Breath!"
Lynn slowly spoke, just the stray energy causing his hands to vaporize, losing half of his body.
But fortunately, the spell restraining the nuclear explosion had formed. Under the combined effect of warped space and magnetic fields, the unimaginable nuclear energy wave, centered in front of Lynn, surged, rotated, and burst out in a conical shape!
The high-density energy wave, at the moment of activation, was less than fifty centimeters in diameter, but by the time it approached the bronze gate, it had expanded into a massive column over a hundred meters in diameter, colliding with the mythical bronze gate.
Under the terrifying radiation energy wave and countless neutrons traveling at 20,000 kilometers per second, the force field around the bronze gate was instantly breached.
A series of intense, eardrum-shattering booms echoed through the underground space!
The ancient bronze gate and Cynthia behind it were engulfed in the scorching fire stream at the same time.
A pain that reached the soul surged through her brain, Cynthia acutely aware her body was disintegrating at the microscopic level, with invisible neutrons continuously penetrating the energy body, scattering the elements that constructed her form.
In the last millisecond, Cynthia only had time to firmly engrave Lynn's image in her memory, ensuring this piece of information wouldn't be forgotten, then the avatar was annihilated under the high-density energy column.
After obliterating the bronze gate and Cynthia, the massive energy column didn't stop, directly piercing through the underground, erasing the entire castle above, then continuously expanding and stretching, piercing the atmosphere towards the night sky.
The furthest point of the light column even exceeded three kilometers in diameter, looking from afar like an inverted giant light cone, a staircase to heaven!
Alade, who had just dealt with the demon beasts, also sensed this powerful energy, turning his head to see the light cone bursting from the ground, seemingly piercing heaven and earth, standing dumbfounded...
In fact, not just him, people across the kingdom and half the empire saw the energy column roaring into the stratosphere, and amidst shock and panic, countless devotees excitedly knelt on the ground, chanting the name of the Moon Goddess...
"The Lord, it must be the great Lord's descent!"
