Chapter 362: The Physical God—Laplace's Demon!
Chapter 362: The Physical God—Laplace's Demon!
After effortlessly saving Raphael, Lynn set sights on Edweil.
The surge in mental power, coupled with the intimidation from the enemy, freed Lynn from restraining the quantity and force of the chlorotrifluoroethylene. Flames surged and congealed in the void, forming person-sized fireballs hurtling toward Edweil.
Faced with this uncanny 'undying blaze,' Edweil raised a hand. Sand, metal, water screens... substances known to block flames formed a divine spell barrier in front of him.
However, it was all in vain. Any material that touched the 'undying blaze' disintegrated instantly, fueling the flames, which surged forth with even greater might.
Confirming it wasn't an illusion, Edweil swiftly escalated the flames' intimidation. Before the overwhelming 'undying blaze,' he spoke rapidly, "God erects high walls between hell and earth, blocking all evil, never to be shattered!"
As his words fell, a golden wall materialized, adorned with intricate divine runes emitting an ancient, sacred aura. This upright wall held the eerie 'undying blaze' at bay.
Edweil noticed even this wall, suppressing hell, couldn't entirely resist the flames; it only slowed their erosion.
Lynn was surprised. It was the first time he'd seen something effectively obstruct chlorotrifluoroethylene.
A wall composed solely of pure divine magic? Without electrons, chlorotrifluoroethylene couldn't transform it into fuel... Lynn immediately realized this. Edweil inadvertently stumbled upon a temporary method to block the 'undying blaze,' valuable intelligence Lynn had aimed to conceal.
Yet Lynn didn't rely solely on this spell.As the wall rose, a several-meter-diameter lightning sphere appeared overhead, emitting intense light that turned midnight into noon...
"Gather!" Lynn pointed at the divine wall engulfed in flames, creating reflective layers around the lightning sphere, encapsulating all the light.
Utilizing the magic within a fifty-meter range, almost pushing the laser's power to its limit...
And with the massive mental power through the magical network, Lynn elevated the laser to the fourth level! Its radius compressed to 0.1 millimeters!
"Open up!" Lynn shouted with all his might. The sealed reflective layers cracked slightly, and the immensely powerful beam traveled at a speed of three hundred thousand kilometers per second, crossing the sea of flames, striking the 'indestructible' divine wall!
Constructed with divine energy, the wall was already slowly disintegrating in the flames. Faced with the even more potent laser magic, it crumbled like leather sliced by a blade.
Edweil sensed this, his expression changing drastically. But the light was too swift; before he could react, it pierced through the divine wall and pierced through his chest...
"Slash!" Lynn shouted again. The beam that had pierced Edweil's body swept upward, cutting through his chest, neck, and brain, cleaving him in two...
Moreover, the nearly infinite laser beam sliced through the courtyard's walls and several burning mansions in the distance, soaring into the sky...
"Lord Edweil!" Pulson screamed in terror. The beam came too swiftly; by the time he saw it, Edweil had already been bisected, his shattered body falling to the ground.
Lynn gasped continuously, whether controlling the widespread 'undying fire' or elevating the laser to the fourth level, it consumed an enormous amount of magical and mental energy.
But before Lynn could catch a breath, Edweil's voice resounded once more.
"In the name of the Lord, all that has vanished shall reappear!"
An inexplicable force swept through the entire space. The shattered bodies vanished instantly, charred vegetation regrew, and the distant torn walls healed swiftly.
As if time had reversed, in five seconds, everything returned to its original state. Edweil, unscathed, appeared before everyone.
What sort of magic was this? Speaking words and enacting them? Time reversal?
Fear of the unknown crept into Lynn's heart. Edweil's displayed power surpassed Lynn's worst assumptions. He couldn't even kill his adversary by severing the brain.
Or did he die and then return?
More puzzlingly, Lynn had no idea where this almost spoken-into-reality ability originated. To be capable of such quasi-time-reversal actions...
Though in physics, it wasn't entirely impossible...
According to prevalent theories from past eras, time was a manifestation of material movement and change. Theoretically, understanding the position and momentum of all atoms at a specific time point could foresee the future or even reverse time, going back to the past!
This was Laplace's Demon, the god in the physical sense, omniscient and omnipotent!
Yet this seemed impossible. The universe was vast; comprehending the positions of all atoms was a pipe dream!
Wait... Recording the positions and momentum of atoms... Magic mimicking... Divine domain...
Lynn suddenly realized something, thoughts swirling in his mind, a conjecture forming.
"Dean Lynn, what he said just now should be phrases from the Bible..." Pearson, still pinned down, shouted loudly.
After taking over the capital and dismantling the local church, they confiscated numerous handwritten Bibles. Pearson had curiously perused through them, treating it like a storybook, hence understanding a bit.
So Pearson was certain that every sentence Edweil spoke had a corresponding phrase in the Bible without exception!
Lynn suddenly understood. This ability to speak things into existence wasn't solely a power possessed by Edweil himself.
The source of this power lay in the projection from the divine realm. Everything here, from the rampant vegetation to the land and buildings, had been influenced by divine power. Their positions and conditions were under the control of the master of the divine realm, that entity, "Aila," enough to achieve omniscience and omnipotence within a certain area, accomplishing the preposterous feat of reversing time!
And Edweil evidently lacked this capability, only being able to mobilize the power of the divine projection to a certain extent, similar to commanding a password-like divine language...
