I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 307 - 295: The Light That Warps Time and Space and the Railgun
Chapter 307: Chapter 295: The Light That Warps Time and Space and the Railgun
25 times the speed of sound!
The moment the projectile burst out of the barrel, the smart brain had already calculated its muzzle velocity. The fusion of magic and technology unleashed unimaginable power, boosting the Electromagnetic Railgun to a new height!
The sonic boom produced instantaneously shattered floor tiles and the earthen walls of nearby houses, throwing Fula, Pearce, and others who were very close to the ground, clutching tightly at their ears…
Meanwhile, in the sky, the glinting streak of light had already collided with the sky-covering palm. The solid metal bullet had been scorched red-hot by the extreme temperature, with Magic Runes such as Anti-Magic, Sharpness, and Durability etched on its spherical surface.
This scene was like a pebble striking a majestic mountain, yet the outcome was completely the opposite. The moment of contact, the palm crumbled like it was made of paper, offering barely any resistance before being easily pierced through… The red streak of light sped past, aiming straight for the center of the Divine’s Projection’s forehead!
Sensing the threat posed by this weapon, endless light surged out from the divine form.
...
From the launch point of the railgun to the forehead of the Divine’s body was only 700 meters, which for a projectile traveling at 25 times the speed of sound, would take only 0.08 seconds!
Yet this distance became incredibly prolonged, as the railgun’s blistering speed visibly waned—dropping from twenty-five times to twenty, then fifteen, and finally to nine times the speed of sound!
Lynn, who had studied Deflection Fields, knew it wasn’t that the railgun had slowed down, but space and time themselves were distorted to varying degrees at this moment!
The slowing of speed was merely a superficial aspect of the space-time distortion!
Even so, the terrifying power of the railgun easily shattered the barrier of divine light and directly penetrated the shell of the Divine’s Projection.

The only difference was that the 0.1-second lapse allowed the goddess’s apparition to shift slightly by a few centimeters. It did not hit the center of the forehead; the red stream of light pierced through the brow, shattering half of the forehead, revealing a small Divine token faintly emerging in the void.
Anthony, who witnessed this scene through the eyes of divinity, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the core sustaining it was not destroyed, the rest could be repaired using Divine Arts.
However, Anthony had forgotten that there wasn’t just one railgun!
Lynn too hadn’t naively pinned all hopes on this single strike!
Barely a second later, two more calibrated railguns thundered again. Although not empowered by the magic power of hundreds of Wizards, the projectiles’ speed was still a formidable seven times the speed of sound!
With the support of the Wizards’ powerful computing power, they struck the small Divine token like two silver lines, with incredible precision.
“No!” Anthony let out a heart-wrenching roar of rage.
The force of the railgun, moving at seven times the speed of sound, was comparable to a sixth-tier magical spell. Even though the Divine token was fashioned from the finger bone of the first Angel Envoy, it couldn’t withstand such a powerful impact, and in an instant, it was shattered to pieces.
The two supersonic projectiles collided, causing a booming explosion and waves of sound that echoed across the entire capital’s skies. The whole city trembled under the violent shockwaves.
The light in the Divine’s eyes quickly dimmed, and the colossal divine body began to disintegrate. Like a shattered mirror, pieces flaked off into brilliant specks of light, ultimately vanishing into the void…
Also destroyed was the soul body that Anthony had entrusted within the Divine token.
Anluoke’s consciousness was being shredded bit by bit, a constant trickle of crimson blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with colors of despair and unwillingness…
The entire square had fallen into a deathly silence, where just a second before, tens of thousands of the most devout Believers were excitedly chanting praises for their great lord punishing those evil blasphemers, only to witness the next moment the lord’s will Projection shattered by several dazzling streams of light.
“The lord has been defeated?” “Impossible? This must be an illusion!”
Horrified shouts erupted all over the square, countless believers either hysterically screaming that what they were witnessing was an illusion or collapsing to the ground, repeatedly banging their heads, but regardless, they could not change the outcome.
The lord’s will Projection was destroyed!
“Finally…” Watching the terrifying Projection vanish into the void, Lynn also slowly let out a breath of relief.
Just now, he hadn’t been all that confident about winning, merely putting on a brave front in front of Anthony and the others. It was a fortunate thing he had moved this massive weapon over in advance in case of any accidents; otherwise, they would have had to retreat from the royal city with their tails between their legs, rendering all their previous efforts for naught.
“What kind of magic is this? It seems to be related to electromagnetism?” Anthony, having not quite snapped out of the shock of the light that seemed able to penetrate anything, kept asking.
“This is called an Electromagnetic Railgun!” Lynn replied with a smile.
“Powered by the strong magnetic force generated by an electric current to accelerate a projectile?” Anthony, who had recently begun studying Maxwell’s equations, quickly deduced the principle behind the device.
Previously, he had always directly wielded the power of thunder to kill enemies but had never imagined that electromagnetic magic could also be used in this way, and with such formidable power.
“Correct,” Lynn nodded, without further explanation, for tonight they still had many troubles to resolve.
…
By the time Lynn and his companions arrived at the square, the chaotic situation had already been brought under control by Ryder and his musket squad. Although there were many Believers, each of them had lost their fighting spirit and no longer thought of resisting.
The missing Amo had also been found, only his body was already cold; after an examination, Lynn finally confirmed that the other had indeed been controlled before.
“Lord Lynn, how should we deal with these civilians?” Ryder, turning to look at the kingdom’s citizens who were either banging their heads on the ground or collapsing in tears, was a bit concerned that Lynn would order them all killed, but he was acutely aware of the potential threat these people posed if left alive.
“Control them for now, and decide whether or not to let them go after interrogation,” Lynn said after pondering for a moment.
It must be said that Anluoke gathering so many devout Believers in the square had helped Lynn resolve a large potential threat. If these fanatical Believers were mixed throughout the royal city orchestrating small schemes, it could potentially cause great trouble from within.
Now, however, these troubles had all leaped out into the open, ready to be dealt with at once!
Those willing to undergo thought reform could continue as citizens of the royal city, and he would let bygones be bygones.
As for the hardcore fanatics who had been completely brainwashed… there was always use for them in construction work like building bridges and laying roads!
The labor of tens of thousands of people was ultimately not going to be wasted!
