In a silver fighter plane above the holy city, Lydia, who had just escaped from the panic of the previous dangerous situation, quickly demonstrated her excellent qualities as a pilot. She quickly stabilized the flipped fuselage and moved the lever as quickly as possible.
A strong airflow immediately spurted out from the rear of the entire fighter plane, driving the entire fuselage to further speed up and climb upwards at the fastest speed.
Both Lydia and Lin En knew very well that if the opponent's attack did not succeed, they would definitely launch the next attack! They needed to reach an altitude of at least two thousand meters to ensure a safe distance.
However, the attackers in the holy city obviously did not intend to let them escape easily. Almost the next moment after the light beam disappeared, points of starlight shot out from the holy city. The number was so large that it was unimaginable, almost covering the entire airspace.
Lin En's expression also became a little more serious. He turned to look at Lydia and spoke very quickly.
"Your mission is complete. Now return to the City of Fire Oil... just keep running!"
After saying that, without waiting for the girl's reply, Lin En grabbed the edge of the fighter plane and flipped out, falling rapidly against the strong wind brought by the fuselage. It took him about two seconds to stabilize his body.
At this moment, the sparks covering the entire airspace were already in sight. Lin En, who was just an incarnation, had no intention of taking it head-on. He opened his right hand, and a huge torrent of magic power surrounded his body, and the space around him also deformed to a certain extent.
This is the deflection force field! After Lin En broke through to the legendary level, his mastery of force field magic increased by more than ten times.
The flying starlight was deflected when it entered the range of about several meters around the body. After circling around, it turned back and collided with the starlight that was shot towards the fighter plane...
As the stars collided, a fierce flame ignited in the void. This kind of fire could burn a person's soul, but it would be useless if it missed! Both spells were easily defended, which obviously aroused someone's anger. At some point, a very dazzling purple stream of light appeared in the field of vision.
Is this another new saint? The church has so many candidates for saints...
Lin En quickly saw the young girl caught in the stream of light. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, but without stopping his hands, he was about to use magic to stop her.
Even if it's just to block one or two...
His goal this time was to test the defense level of the holy city and assist Lydia in evacuating successfully.
However, when Lin En was about to make a move, he suddenly realized that the air around him had become like a viscous liquid, and his movements had been slowed down countless times, like an old man on his deathbed...
Unconsciously, the projection of the Kingdom of God has expanded to this airspace! "Is it those starlights just now?" Lin En's relaxed expression suddenly changed. He immediately realized that the exploding starlight contained the opponent's divine energy, which could be used as a node for casting spells to quickly and secretly expand the area.
The next moment, within the projection of the kingdom of God, the elements infected by the divine energy rose up to form a huge hand composed of elements, which fiercely pinched Lin En in the palm of its hand.
The new saint stood in the sky of the holy city, staring at Lin En who was tightly held by the giant hand with an extremely cold expression.
“As expected, we should never let our guard down…” Lin En, who was in a dilemma, sighed and said.
Just a negligence, in less than a second, the situation on the field reversed 180 degrees.
With the power of this incarnation alone, it is impossible to break free...
The reason was that he underestimated the opponent's means and strength, otherwise he should have been able to delay for some time.
I just hope Lydia has flown her fighter far enough.
After a moment of thought, the new saint clenched her right hand, and the giant palm suddenly closed. With an unpleasant "squeaking" sound, the incarnation made of magic power showed a very strange and distorted feeling.
The one that was really bearing the pressure was the specially made secret ring inside! A few cracks soon appeared on it, and it collapsed in an instant.
Lin En was naturally not prepared to surrender like this, and he was even more unwilling to let the remains of the mystic ring fall into the hands of the other party. The projection of the kingdom of God and the body that was tightly grasping almost suppressed all possibilities of resistance from this incarnation.
But that was only almost the end! Wisps of scorching flames emerged from the cracks on the ring. At first, they were only the size of a spark, but soon they swept up, using the entire magic incarnation as fuel, rapidly expanding and exploding! A violent explosion resounded in the sky above the Holy City, and the giant palm holding the magic incarnation was also swallowed by the expanding flames, and was torn to pieces and burned in just a few seconds...
The moment she realized something was wrong, the new saint had already moved away from that airspace, and then cast a spell to remove the elements from the entire area.
After several battles with Lin En, she naturally mastered the method of dealing with this special fire.
The simplest way is to peel off the vacuum and wait for it to burn out on its own... There is no need to waste too much energy on this eternal flame.
After dealing with Lin En's magical incarnation, the girl with star-like eyes turned her gaze to the distant sky.
In the short moment when the two sides fought, Lydia, who was driving the fighter plane, had already rushed above the clouds and the distance was more than five kilometers.
"My Lord, do we need to send people to pursue?" Pope Alvis also rushed over, staring at the silver fighter plane speeding in the distance, and asked solemnly and angrily.
"No, let's go back!" The saint shook her head.
With this speed, I'm afraid no one can catch up except myself.
She had just replaced her body not long ago and had not had time to adapt. If she had not been able to communicate and borrow the power of her original body within the Holy City, it would have taken some effort to deal with Lin En's magical incarnation.
In addition, the saint was even more worried that this might be a trap. After being hit by two nuclear explosions, she had to become cautious and careful.
"The ceremony must begin as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer." Ella retracted her gaze and spoke in a cold voice.
The other party actually sent this strange flying machine to the Holy City, which means that the Wizard Council is preparing to launch a large-scale offensive in the near future.
A hint of worry emerged on Pope Alvis' face. They were still a long way from their previous goal of one million devout believers, but he also knew that those wizards might not give them these opportunities.
It seems that we can only sacrifice some clergymen...
The expression on Alvis's face quickly returned to calm. As a bishop and priest carefully trained by the church, the Lord's shepherd on earth, sacrificing for the great Lord to ascend to the throne is the honor and duty of every clergyman, and a return for the Lord's gift...
One priest is worth at least ten devout believers, dozens of bishops, and thousands of cardinals.
And these church leaders, the Lord's saints, are worth tens of thousands of dollars each.
It's enough anyway.
"Was it killed so quickly?"
At the moment when the magic incarnation self-destructed, Lin En also received the news simultaneously in the land of death outside the kerosene city. However, he did not pay too much attention to it. After sorting out the information and speculations about the defense of the holy city, he shifted his attention to the development of the coming of the kingdom of God.
After several hours of trying, he had figured out some clues.
Lin En slowly closed his eyes and his mind sank into the sea of consciousness.
This is a dark and empty space, very vast but empty.
No, that's not appropriate. In fact, there are things inside. Various elements and rays that are invisible to the naked eye are wandering in every corner of the space.
And this is not just a dark space. Strictly speaking, it is a projection of the universe. It's just that his current power is too weak to materialize them one by one.
The so-called coming of the Kingdom of God is to project the scenes in the sea of consciousness in the form of a domain.
Using magic power to infect the elements and create a space that belongs to you alone, between the boundaries of reality and illusion. This is the reason why [Ella] can develop incredibly powerful magic such as making words come true and stopping time.
As Lin En was thinking, a faint low humming sound came from behind him.
The sound was very ethereal, like the song of a whale echoing in the deep sea, or the chilling whisper coming from the other side of the distant shore.
Lin En turned his head in surprise and looked over. Then his pupils shrank. A huge tentacle covered with hideous suction cups had silently stretched out in front of him.
It was a monster of exaggerated size, its huge body looming in the cover of the dark space. Each of its tentacles seemed to be thousands of meters long, and it was wandering in the boundless sea of consciousness like a giant star beast.
"Eye of Death!" Lin En was immediately frightened, and the whole person flew hundreds of meters away in an instant.
Fortunately, he soon discovered that this thing was not trying to attack him, but was approaching him out of instinct.
Perhaps it was related to the promotion potion he had taken before. The remaining power of the Eye of Death had now become a part of the consciousness space. The only difference was that it had changed from a terrifying existence dominating the sea to an energy behemoth wandering the starry sky.
I just don't know if it can be projected through the field and materialized outside.
Thinking of this, Lin En immediately tried it. The moment he opened his eyes, a huge amount of magic power surged and the area around him began to expand in all directions.
Darkness gradually engulfed the entire land, completely covering the afterglow of the setting sun...
An area of several kilometers instantly turned into an endless starry sky.
Just as Lin En had imagined before, the Eye of Death was also projected out in a physical form, but its size became much smaller, with a length of only a few hundred meters.
This mighty beast seemed to be a part of the domain, able to blend perfectly with the boundless dark space. Even with legendary-level perception, it was difficult to detect its existence, and it could launch a fatal attack from an unexpected place at any time.
About half a minute later, the expanding area gradually stagnated, and the range was fixed at two kilometers.
Lin En could feel that as the domain expanded, his control over the internal elements was also declining sharply, and this growth soon stagnated.
"Is this the limit?" Lin En couldn't help but frowned.
Compared with the projection of the kingdom of God that covers the entire holy city, the scope of his own territory can only be described as pitiful.
Fortunately, after this attempt, Lin En discovered that there are about two factors that limit the scope of the field. The first is its own computing power, and the second is the total amount of magic power.
Ella has the energy provided by hundreds of years of accumulation of the church, and the computing power of tens of millions of believers. It is normal that the scope of her domain far exceeds her own.
Similarly, if he uses the computing power of the intelligent brain and draws on enough energy, he should be able to expand the range of the projection of his sea of consciousness several times.
It seems that we need to arrange as many people as possible to connect to the magic network.
Now the entire magic kingdom has more than 15,000 official wizards. If all their power can be mobilized, it may be possible to compete with the church system created by Ella.
In fact, he had already done this a long time ago. For example, the wizards of the Iyeta School all possessed a ring of mystic magic.
In addition, he also recruited a group of wizards in the name of counting, lecturing, and researching magic. Now the number of people in the small universe has exceeded two thousand, which is eight times the original number.
Many wizards like to discuss and study some dangerous magic in the small universe of the intelligent brain, because it can deeply simulate various physical rules in the real world without worrying about safety issues.
"It's a pity that the time is still too short." Lin En thought with regret.
If he were given a few more months, he would be able to fully master the power of the legendary realm and pull most of the wizards in the council into the magic network.
Maybe a few more legends can be promoted, and then defeating Ella's real self will be a sure thing.
But Lin En knew very well that the church would not give them that much time. From their recent actions, it could be seen that the other party must be preparing something, most likely something that could turn the tide of the battle.
Time has undoubtedly become the most scarce thing now!
After adjusting his fluctuating emotions, Lin En temporarily interrupted the practice of the legendary spell [Real Realm] and focused his energy on another equally important area, which was the development of protective magic!
The legendary spells he knows now are basically of offensive nature. For example, [End - Atomic Breath] is the sharpest spear in his hand!
Using magnetic fields and force field magic for protection is indeed a good method, but it can only serve as an auxiliary, directing attacks in other directions, not actually resisting them.
Therefore, he still lacks a truly powerful method that can resist nuclear explosion magic to a certain extent! (End of this chapter)
