I Created Scientific Magic

Just as both parties engaged in combat, Lydia, piloting the fighter jet, had already soared above the clouds, with a distance exceeding five kilometers.

"My Lord, do we need to dispatch someone for pursuit?" Pope Alvis also hurried over, staring at the rapidly fleeing silver fighter jet in the far distance, his tone grave yet filled with anger as he asked.

"No, let's go back," the Holy Maiden shook her head.

With such speed, she feared no one but herself could catch up.

Moreover, she had just replaced her body not long ago and hadn't had the chance to adapt to it. If it were not for the ability to communicate and borrow the power of her true self within the Holy City, it might have taken her quite an effort to deal with Lynn's magical incarnation.

Besides, the Holy Maiden was more worried that this could be a trap, having been hit by nuclear explosion magic twice in succession, she had become cautious and careful.

"We must start the ceremony as soon as possible, we cannot wait any longer," said Aella, retracting her gaze from the distance, her voice cold.

If the adversary was sending such an unusual flying machine to the Holy City, that indicated the Wizard Council was preparing to launch a large-scale offensive in the near future.

A look of worry appeared on Pope Alvis's face, knowing they were still far short of their target of one million devout believers, but he also understood that the wizards might not give them such an opportunity.

It seemed they would have to sacrifice some members of the clergy...

Pope Alvis's expression soon returned to calmness. As shepherds of the Lord on earth, cultivated by the church to be bishops and priests, to sacrifice for the Lord's ascension to divinity was a glory and duty of each member of the clergy, a repayment for the grace of the Lord...

One priest could at least equal ten devout believers, a bishop dozens, and a cardinal bishop thousands.

And for the higher-ups in the church, the saints of the Lord, each was worth ten thousand.

That should be enough, no matter what.

…

"Was that destroyed so quickly?"

At the moment the magical incarnation self-destructed, out in the Land of Death beyond Fire Oil City, Lynn also received the news simultaneously. However, he didn't pay it much mind, and after sorting out the intelligence about Holy City's defenses and his speculations, he shifted his focus to developing the descent of the Divine Kingdom.

After a few hours of experimenting, he had figured out some clues.

Lynn slowly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the sea of consciousness.

This was a vast space of darkness and void, vast yet empty.

No, that wasn't quite right. In fact, the interior did contain things, invisible elements and rays wandering every corner of the space.

Moreover, this was not just a simple dark space; to be precise, it was a projection of cosmic space, except his power was still too weak to materialize it all.

The so-called descent of the Divine Kingdom was to project the scene within the sea of consciousness in the form of a domain.

By infusing elements with magic power, a space unique to oneself was created, lying between reality and illusion, which was why Aella was able to develop divine arts as powerful and unimaginable as Word Follows and time stop.

As Lynn pondered, a faint, ethereal humming arose behind him.

The sound was otherworldly, like the sonorous songs of whales echoing in the deep sea, a murmur from a distant shore that sent shivers down one's spine.

Curiously, Lynn turned his head to look, his pupils constricting as a gigantic tentacle, bristling with fearsome suckers, had silently stretched out in front of him.

It belonged to a colossal creature, so enormous that its bulk flickered in and out of visibility within the dark space, each of its tentacles seemingly stretching for thousands of kilometers, like a cosmic leviathan roaming the boundless sea of consciousness.

"The Eye of Death!" Lynn was startled, and in an instant, he flew hundreds of meters away.

Fortunately, he soon discovered that this entity was not coming to attack him, but was instinctively drawing near.

It likely had to do with the Magic Potion for advancement he had taken initially; the residual power of the Eye of Death's manifestation had now become a part of the space of consciousness—the only difference being that it had transformed from a terrifying being that once dominated the seas to an energy beast roaming the starry skies.

The only question was whether he could project it through his domain and materialize it into the outside world.

With this thought, Lynn immediately tried to do so, and the moment he opened his eyes, a vast amount of Magic Power surged forth, with his domain beginning to expand in all directions.

The darkness gradually tainted the entire land, completely covering the afterglow of the evening sunset...

An area of several kilometers instantly turned into a boundless starry sky.

Just as Lynn had imagined, the Eye of Death was also projected as a physical entity, though its size had become much smaller, now measuring merely a few hundred meters in length.

This majestic beast seemed to be part of the domain, perfectly merging with the infinite dark space. Even with legendary-level perception, it was very hard to detect its presence, ready to launch a deadly strike from an unexpected place at any moment.

About half a minute later, the expanding domain gradually came to a halt, its range fixed at a radius of two kilometers.

Lynn could feel that as the domain expanded, his control over the internal elements sharply declined, and this growth quickly stalled.

"Is this the limit?" Lynn couldn't help but frown.

In comparison to the Divine Kingdom projection of [Ella]'s true form that covered the entire Holy City, his own domain could only be described as pitiful.

Fortunately, after this attempt, Lynn realized there were roughly two factors limiting the range of his domain, the first being his computing power, and the second being the total amount of Magic Power.

Ella had the energy provided by the Church's centuries of accumulation and millions of Believers to enhance computing power; it was normal that her domain far exceeded his own.

In the same vein, if he could utilize the computing power of a smart brain and draw upon a sufficient amount of energy, he should also be able to expand the range of his mind's projection several times over.

It seemed he would have to arrange for as many people as possible to connect with the magic network.

The entire Magic Kingdom now had over fifteen thousand formal Wizards; if he could mobilize all of their power, perhaps he could contend with Ella's established church system.

In fact, he had already been working on this for some time: for example, the Wizards of the Iyeta School had been given a Secret Ring of Spells.

Besides, he had recruited a group of Wizards under the guise of computing, lecturing, and researching spells. The population in his microcosm had already exceeded two thousand people, eight times the original number.

Many Wizards liked to discuss and research dangerous Magic within the smart brain's microcosm because it allowed for deep simulation of various physical laws of the real world, without the need to worry about safety.

"It's just a pity that there's still too little time," Lynn thought regretfully.

If he had a few more months, he could completely master the power of the legendary realm and bring most of the Wizards of the Council into the magic network.

Perhaps he could even promote a few more legends, then defeating Ella's true form would become almost a certainty.

But Lynn was very clear that the Church would not give them that much time. Their recent actions showed that the other party must be preparing something, likely something that could turn the tide of battle.

Time had indeed become the most scarce resource at the moment!

After calming his turbulent emotions, Lynn temporarily stopped practicing the legendary spell [True Domain] and focused on another equally important area—that was, the development of protective Magic!

Now, most of the legendary spells he knew were offensive in nature; for example, [Doomsday - Atomic Breath] was the sharpest spear in his hand!

Using magnetic and Force Field Magic for protection was indeed a good measure, but that could only serve as assistance, guiding the attack in other directions instead of truly blocking it.

So he still lacked a truly powerful means, one that could at least partially withstand Nuclear Explosion Magic!
