Most of the mountaintop was razed to the ground, countless broken rocks fell, and the dust raised was nearly a hundred feet high.

Such concentrated energy was enough to penetrate a mountain, but the reality was beyond Vittorio's expectations. The energy column stagnate not long after it blasted into the mountain.

It's like I encountered some obstacle...

After the light cone dissipated, they could see clearly that the thing blocking the energy column was the magic stone.

A large amount of magic stones! Lin En was shocked. He didn't expect that there was a magic stone mine here, and it was so close to the Holy City!

They had not felt any fluctuation of magical power before, so it must be that Ella deliberately used some magic to cover it up.

More importantly, in the center of the magic stone mine, at the end of their vision, where a huge amount of magic power converges, there is a strange and constantly surging magic node, which keeps flowing like a whirlpool.

That's a time and space gate!

Lin En and the others immediately understood Ella's plan, and instantly used their strongest means in an attempt to keep the other party.

The red electromagnetic railgun, the invisible space blade, and the powerful fifth-level laser beam all blasted towards each other.

However, Ella's movements did not stop at all. As her divine nature surged, the space around her was distorted, and all the attacks were deflected and offset! The space-time gate in front of her, which was originally closed, also started to move again. The vortex continued to expand, and soon swallowed up Ella who was approaching.

It took Lin En and others about half a minute to arrive.

Relying on electromagnetic acceleration, their maximum speed can reach about 1.5 times the speed of sound, but it is still not as fast as the Moon Goddess Ella who can shorten the distance.

Controlling space is like a cheating ability.

The activated space-time gate also changed from expansion to contraction at this time, which was a sign that it was about to be closed...

To chase or not to chase? This question of life and death suddenly lingered in everyone's mind.

You have to know that no one has ever been able to enter the space-time gate and come out alive!

Lin En and Harof looked at each other. In their current state, they didn't dare to pursue rashly. The magic power around them surged, and they each separated out a magic incarnation and rushed directly into the space-time gate, intending to take a look at the situation inside first.

The next second, the two magical incarnations disappeared from sight, and the expressions on their faces changed, showing horror.

"What happened?" Aurora asked quickly.

"My magic incarnation has disappeared." Harof's face looked very ugly.

Although he knew before that the space-time gate could not be entered at will, he had now entered the realm of legend, and even as an incarnation he possessed extraordinary power.

"Did Ella do it?" Aurora also looked uncertain, somewhat suspecting that the other party had entered and guarded the other end of the space-time gate, and then turned around and killed the incarnations of the two.

Harrov did not reply, but turned to look at Lynn.

"My magic incarnation also disappeared, the moment it went in!" Lin En's expression was equally solemn. To be cautious, the primary task he gave this magic incarnation was to use electromagnetic wave communication to pass on the message from the other side immediately after passing by.

As a result, the moment he was sucked into the space-time gate, his soul's perception was interrupted! According to his guess, there are probably two possibilities.

First, the other side of the space-time gate is extremely dangerous, or there are very powerful people waiting there. The incarnation will be killed as soon as he enters, and there is no possibility of resistance, let alone time to pass on the message.

Second, there was something abnormal in the place they entered, which completely blocked their perception, so the connection was directly interrupted! Neither of these two speculations was a good thing.

The former means that they may not be able to get in, and the latter means that once they get in, they may not be able to get out!

"Where does this thing lead to?" Lin En looked at the space-time gate that was gradually closing, frowning and muttering to himself.

However, he did not expect Harof and others to be able to answer. He had read the records of the parliament's investigation and exploration of the space-time gate.

However, to his surprise, Vittorio beside him suddenly spoke at this moment.

"That may be the origin of magic, the place where everything started!"

"Where does the magic come from?" "Where does it start...?"

Harof and Aurora stared at Vittorio in surprise and doubt. They also did not expect Vittorio to speak suddenly, and say such explosive words.

"What does this mean?" Harov didn't want to get into all that convoluted stuff, so he asked directly.

"You should have sensed it when Ella opened the space-time gate just now," Vittorio reminded.

"Is it magic?!" Lin En's mind moved. With his legendary level of perception, he could naturally sense that the moment Ella opened the space-time gate, a large amount of magic power emerged from inside, and even the magic concentration in the entire area increased a lot.

Combined with Vittorio's words, a horrifying guess emerged in Lynn's mind.

A few months ago, he discovered a strange phenomenon in the uranium mine. That is, many protruding rocks seemed to be semi-assimilated by magic power.

Is it possible that he has been doing it the wrong way? It is not the huge amount of magic power accumulated in the magic stone mine that creates the natural space-time tunnel, but the magic power that continuously flows in from the other side of the space-time gate that infects the magic stone mine! Just like these legendary wizards who can use magic power and energy to build their bodies, perhaps they also have some conditions that can transform ordinary ores into magic stones infected with magic power - a crystallization of magic power and matter!

But if this conjecture is correct, it means a terrifying fact: the magic power of this world may all come from the other side of the space-time gate...

"Are you sure?" Aurora had obviously thought of this as well, and it was really hard to believe.

"Not sure..." Vittorio said hesitantly. "This is the information I searched from the mind of Gustav, the commander of the God's Punishment Army. I have no way to confirm its authenticity."

Vittorio's expression was not much better than Linn and the others. In the past, they believed that magic, like elements, was the fundamental existence that constituted the world. However, they learned from Gustav that magic came from outside the world.

If this matter were to get out, it would probably cause an uproar among wizards, and the theory about the origin of wizards would be overturned again!

Harov was also shocked for a moment, and after a while he suddenly asked, "What about Ella? Did she also come from the other side of the time-space gate?"

Ella has the ability to open and close the space-time gate, while they can only use alchemy to barely limit and seal it. The gap is obvious.

“How should I know?” Vittorio shook his head. The information he got from Gustav’s mind was limited. If Lynn had not brought Ivana to stimulate him, he would not have been able to get these uncertain true and false information from Gustav’s strongly fluctuating thoughts.

After a pause, Vittorio spoke again. "Perhaps there are records about the other side of the space-time gate in the library of the Holy City."

If Ella came from outside the time and space gate, she would definitely know something about that side.

If not, the church, which has ruled the entire continent for hundreds of years, would inevitably have done some research on it, and these research materials would most likely have been recorded and placed in a secret place.

"Holy City?" Lin En looked back at the huge city that had collapsed and sunk into the ground. He felt that it would not be an easy task to find information about the space-time gate from the ruins.

"What a pity..." Seeing the rotating space-time gate completely closed, Aurora couldn't help but sigh. This should be the best chance to kill Ella.

Since the Sky Tower was destroyed by them, it seemed that something must have gone wrong with the false god of the church, so they took advantage of the situation and defeated him.

"But we have no way to kill her at all." Harov said helplessly. They had used up all their means in the battle just now. Even such a high-density nuclear explosion could not destroy the strange crystal.

He couldn't even think of how to actually kill the other person, and he didn't even know why Ella suddenly ran away. If she had held on for a few more minutes, they would have been the ones to consider running away.

"Anyway, let's seal this space-time gate first!" Vittorio clasped his hands together and made a few complicated hand seals. Rune chains shot out from the area around him and surrounded the space-time node.

Lynn also stepped forward and used his slight ability to manipulate space to cooperate with Vittorio to twist the curvature of the surrounding fluctuating space.

The last time they sealed the space node in the wizard land, they mobilized three speakers and nine great wizards, and it took them half a month to complete it.

Now that Vittorio has broken through to the legendary level, there is naturally no need for such trouble. With the cooperation of Lynn, after about half an hour, the space vortex that was constantly rotating in the magic stone mine cave was almost stagnant, leaving only a blue space-time node in the center.

Of course, it is hard to say whether this seal can really prevent Ella from opening the door again.

The biggest function of this thing is that they can immediately sense any fluctuations in the space-time gate.

"The rest of the space-time gates distributed across the continent also need to be dealt with." Aurora reminded, otherwise the other party might slip in from other nodes.

They couldn't find a way to kill Ella for the time being, and they didn't dare to enter the time and space gate rashly, so they could only find a way to block the other party's way back!

After completing the seal of the space-time node, on the way back, several people looked unhappy.

The outcome of this battle completely exceeded their expectations, and the doubts in their hearts increased instead of decreasing.

Lin En was also thinking about the strange crystal he had seen before. This might be the method Ella found to eliminate the poison of faith.

Godhead? Lin En immediately thought of this term and temporarily used it as the name of this thing.

The fact that it could survive a nuclear explosion without any damage is likely due to the involvement of more microscopic forces.

Unlike Harov and others who are superstitious about the powerful force of nuclear explosions and believe that they can wipe out everything, Lin En is very clear about the limitations of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

There are many things that it cannot destroy, such as neutrons, protons, or even more microscopic quarks, gluons, etc., and also space...

Even a nuclear explosion of tens of billions of tons has no possibility of destroying space. At most, it can only cause strong spatial fluctuations. As for larger equivalents, the Federation has never experimented with them because the efficiency of mass-energy conversion in nuclear explosions is too low, which is a waste of resources.

"Dear Speakers, what happened to that false god? Is she dead?"

Seeing Lin En and others flying back from the other side of the holy city, a group of wizards immediately came up and asked.

"We'll talk about this later when we have a meeting." Lin En glanced at the Kingdom's soldiers. He had no intention of revealing anything here, so he skipped the topic and praised them instead. "You did a great job, and the timing of releasing the Sun Cannon was very accurate."

"Just now we almost thought that Ella cracked the electromagnetic signal and sent us a message." Raphael said fearfully.

They all knew the power of the Yangyan Cannon. If it fired this time, not only the false god of the church, but also Lin En and others could be killed.

The pressure of making the decision to fire is not small, and no one dares to take on this responsibility.

So when they received the summons, they held a vote. Among the thirteen great wizards, six decided to carry out the order, five opposed it, and two abstained...

The decision to emotionally fire was made by voting. Lin En was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he could understand it. After all, his order was indeed a bit confusing. The situation at the time did not allow for time to explain in detail. After all, the opportunity was fleeting.

"So what should we do now?" asked the great wizard Arad in confusion.

They finally arrived in front of the Holy City, intending to fight against the Church's most elite troops, but Lin En simply destroyed the entire city with an underground nuclear explosion.

So apart from the single shot just now, nothing else was accomplished.

"There are too many things to deal with now. We need manpower everywhere. You guys are busy."

Lin En shook his head and ordered several great wizards to lead the kingdom's army to organize the excavation work in various areas inside the holy city. This was a huge mess.

"Be careful, maybe a cardinal can survive the collapse!" "Also, if you find anyone alive, torture them to find out where the church's library is as soon as possible, and dig it out first!"

Lynn added, and then flew towards the nearest space-time gate with Vittorio. They needed to seal all the remaining space-time nodes.

The affairs of the Holy City will be temporarily handled by Harof and Aurora.
