Chapter 294 Lynn: I just want to sleep with her right now!
"Lord Lynn, do you have a way to deal with her?" Hattar asked urgently. He didn't want to lose his capital on the first night of his claim to the throne.
Anthony was also very surprised as he looked at Lynn. Wasn't it said that it was no longer possible to use legendary magic?
Without explaining, Lynn simply smiled and said, "They've arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dull sound of rolling wheels came from the other side of the street, and Anthony and the others turned their heads to look.
On the brick-paved street, several camels were laboriously pulling three carriages covered in black cloth toward them. Leading the group was Philip and others who had disappeared for quite some time. Johnny, Fula, and the rest who had evacuated from the mansion also followed the convoy over.
"Are all of you alright?" Lynn looked around, counted the number of people, and seeing no one was missing, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"There was no issue, just scared half to death..." Ailoke muttered under his breath.
Although Lynn had ordered them to flee to the bunker in the residence as soon as they saw Anthony make a move, Fula and the others adamantly refused to retreat, delaying them for quite a while, nearly getting them killed by the thunder that fell from the sky and the subsequent explosions.
"You should have told us in advance, Dean Lynn," Pearce said, his voice shaking from the fright.
Lynn didn't respond. The most important thing about setting a trap was not to leak any information. It wasn't that he didn't trust Ailoke and the others, but he had to consider the possibility of them being captured and having their memories searched.
Anthony, standing to the side, pulled down the cloth covering from the carriage, only to discover that what was in front of them was not a carriage at all but a very peculiar thing that somewhat resembled a cannon.
But much more intricate and much larger!
It stood over two meters tall, and its heavy base was fitted with four wheels. What drew the most attention was the two long railings, extending straight into the distance, engraved with numerous electromagnetic inscriptions.
"What is this?" Anthony asked in amazement.
"A powerful electromagnetic weapon. I thought we wouldn't need it this time," Lynn said as he walked up to an electromagnetic cannon. He immediately began to adjust the muzzle, aiming it at the immense divine apparition of the goddess in the sky.
Originally, it was to prevent the Cardinal from deviating from the plan, forgoing entering the trap, or in case his alchemical formation went awry and couldn't operate as usual—a contingency plan to have Philip and the others hide in the shadows, seizing the opportunity to fire the electromagnetic cannon and take Anluoke away directly.
Unexpectedly, now it had to be used against a true god...
Even though it was merely a projection...
Along with the lever being pressed, a surge of intense magic power fluctuations suddenly became apparent. The vast amount of electricity stored in the Thunder Stone was summoned forth, the runes on the railings lit up one after another, creating an incredibly powerful magnetic field that tightly bound the head-sized projectile in the center...
Because the research time was still too short, this experimental version of the electromagnetic cannon was only able to accelerate the projectile to around seven times the speed of sound.
This was indeed a terrifying force, but it was still far from its limit!
"Everyone use Chain Lightning!" Lynn shouted loudly while extending his hand to cast a spell. Azure-blue currents immediately struck the runes designed to receive electricity.
Fula and the others, understanding the urgency of the situation, didn't hesitate to follow suit. Hundreds of Wizards from the entire academy poured all their magic power into the electromagnetic cannon.
The lengthy rails were quickly tainted red with high temperatures, and the ever-increasing power of the magic fluctuations exposed their location unmistakably...
The divine projection of the goddess high in the sky immediately cast its gaze upon them.
Time seemed to have regressed to two years earlier, and Lynn vividly remembered the scenario when he fled on a ship from the Sekas Empire.
Initially, he could only escape in a flurry through the obstruction of the Mist Sea, but now... Lynn only wanted to give her a blast!
...
"The great lord has descended!"
At this moment, on the capital's square, tens of thousands of believers were devoutly kneeling, praying incessantly and kissing the ground beneath their feet to express their overwhelming emotions.
All the fear and worry in their hearts had vanished, leaving only tranquility and joy...
Anluoke stood alone in the center of the square. After releasing the holy emblem, he could only manipulate this body with a tenuous connection and even lost the ability to use Divine Arts.
But that no longer mattered!
For the will of the lord had descended!
Through the divine eye linked to the holy emblem, Anluoke quickly located his targets. The Archmage Anthony, along with his apprentices and disciples, was gathered on a street on the west side of the capital.
The second Prince Hattar was also there, along with a young wizard who appeared through Magic Projection, probably Carl (Lynn), wanted by the church.
They would be dealt with all at once!
A flicker of anger and intent to kill passed through Anluoke's eyes, and then he closed them, beseeching the great lord to punish those blasphemers.
In the sky, the motionless goddess gently lifted her right hand, and that delicate jade finger seemed to transcend the barriers of space and time, instantly arriving in front of everyone.
The forefinger was as massive as a mountain, descending from above as if to crush some insignificant ants.
But even ants have their fangs. Anthony took a step forward and launched the most powerful protective magic he knew.
Magic power rapidly transformed into layers of snake scales, piling up to form a semi-circular barrier in front of everyone, colliding with the mountain-like forefinger.
The sturdy barrier of snake scales immediately caved in, then fissures appeared, and in just a second, it violently burst apart.
Anthony spat out blood, the intense backlash of the magic almost too much to bear, but just then, two streaks of azure light flashed by, piercing straight through the presumptuous forefinger that sought to grind them to dust.
It was the other two electromagnetic cannons among the three, controlled by Philip and Orlando, which had launched their attack a step earlier!
The damage inflicted was severely limited, however; no blood flowed, and no flesh flew. Only a phantom was pierced, and the penetrated forefinger was visibly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then the finger turned into an entire palm, and a dense divine light emerged in its center, pressing down towards everyone.
The area covered by the palm became a unique domain, where the air solidified, making even breathing exceedingly difficult...
Meanwhile, the central electromagnetic cannon had finally charged fully!
Gathering the electricity provided by hundreds of wizards and bound tightly by magnetism, the projectile let out an earth-shattering roar, propelled by the force of Anbe, and flew at an invisible speed towards that palm that covered the sky...
