Lynn’s words opened a new world to those present, as they had already experienced the terrifying power of laser magic during the recent experiment to measure the speed of light. Especially at the moment the beam was emitted, there was simply no one who could evade it...
However, it was not without its drawbacks. The greater the distance, the weaker the intensity, with an effective killing range of about three to four hundred meters. To deal with griffins that could fly thousands of meters high, the weapon would need further refinement to enhance its power...
A group of councilmen discussed the improvement plans for this beam magic with great enthusiasm.
Since their understanding of optics was still at a basic level, these improvement plans revolved only around creating a stronger light source and how to focus it to a single point.
It was Rafael who suggested they could simply equip airships with wizards proficient in light-based magic to launch attacks from the sky, which would significantly shorten the distance...
Lynn did not join the others in their discussion, but he already had a corresponding plan in mind. The laser magic he spoke of was not just about gathering light...
Simply put, a laser is light emitted by stimulated emission of radiation from atoms, occurring when the electrons in the atoms absorb energy and jump from a lower energy level to a higher one, then fall back to the lower energy level, releasing energy in the form of photons, touted as the most accurate ruler and the fastest knife!
The Federation’s laser weapon technology was already very refined, and all he needed to do was translate the relevant theories into magic, a task he estimated would take just a few days.
Sanchez, who also abstained from the discussion due to his lack of research in optics, was instead very interested in something else.
"Master Lynn, I have heard that in the previous battle for the capital, the Cardinal of the Kingdom summoned the projection of that... pseudo-god, is that correct?"
"Yes," Lynn nodded.

"May I know which Legendary from the Secret Magic Society took action?" Harrov asked curiously.
He knew well that even just a projection of "Ela" possessed power surpassing that of a great wizard, which was not something Lynn and others could contend with.
The wizards present were all curious about this point, as the "Magic Daily" described the final outcome of the battle but did not elaborate much on the process.
Lynn shook his head and spoke casually. "In fact, the overall plan to establish the Magic Kingdom was decided by Anthony and me. Not many scholars participated, and it was not an order from within the Secret Magic Society."
Does that mean they didn’t have the assistance of a Legendary wizard?
Harrov was puzzled, wondering how they had managed to defeat the projection of the pseudo-god...
Lynn, seeing the crowd’s curiosity, saw no need to hide the truth and briefly described the battle for the capital. They had combined the power of hundreds of official wizards and the sixth-ring great wizard Anthony to charge the special Electromagnetic Railgun with Thunder Magic, delivering a strike comparable to that of a Legendary.
Of course, the Electromagnetic Railgun, damaged due to overloading from that shot, was then sent away for repairs...
"You’ve really got some nerve!" Aurora exclaimed in amazement.
When Lynn had first mentioned the Magic Kingdom plan, she thought it was devised by the leaders of the Secret Magic Society.
After all, carving out a kingdom from the heart of the Empire, the strongest region of the Church, was such a bold move that it was truly astonishing!
The most critical point was that Lynn and the others had indeed accomplished it!
As for "Magic Creator" Vittorio, he was quite interested in this type of electromagnetic weapon, having used it once a year ago when facing August, and its power remained fresh in his memory.
"Fortunately, everything has gone fairly smoothly, hasn’t it?" Lynn said, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Looking back, that battle was indeed perilous. Despite having used the safest method, calling upon the Celestial Phenomenon and taking advantage of the terrain to directly ’take out’ Anluoke, he hadn’t expected the adversary to have the ability to entrust his soul to another’s body, and even with the prayers of tens of thousands of devout Believers, managed to summon the projection of that goddess.
It wasn’t until later that he learned from Hattar that the relic Anluoke used to summon the Divine’s Projection was always kept in the church for the Believers to worship.
Thankfully, he had prepared the trump card of the electromagnetic railgun in advance, otherwise he really might have been at a loss.
The church’s attention was also being drawn away just as they had anticipated…
"Since you have directly faced her Projection before, and even fought against it, can you determine her current state to some extent?" Aurora asked somberly.
This was the war’s most significant variable and their greatest concern.
Having won the war of faith, what "Ella" did was even crazier than all the Spiritual Energy Wizards before her!
She created the church, named herself the True God, fabricated the creation mythos in the Bible, and after centuries of domestication, turned the entire empire into a pasture of faith, with no one knowing the extent of her power’s growth.
Aurora couldn’t guess whether the adversary had found a way to rid herself of spiritual pollution.

As for the church’s so-called Divine Descent Technique, based on her speculation, it was likely a form of more powerful Projection Magic, using the object of faith as the anchor, allowing her own will to descend…
"It’s hard to say… but I think she must have been significantly affected," Lynn pondered for a long time.
Having witnessed the Divine’s Projection twice before, his impression of Her was profoundly deep, and these manifested incarnations were all imbued with a sense of holiness and mercy.
As to whether she had been completely corrupted by faith, Lynn was not bold enough to make a hasty decision, but what he could confirm was that the avatar they faced indeed lacked some of the liveliness it should have had, which was an important reason why the railgun managed to hit its target.
Lynn shared all his conclusions and the details he had observed.
The Legendary Councilmen obviously breathed a sigh of relief, their greatest worry being that "Ella" had found a way to free herself from soul corruption.
Although the accumulation over hundreds of years and tens of millions of Believers within the empire could provide unimaginable magic power support, for Wizards the most important thing was still the accumulation of knowledge!
That was the true essence of a Wizard’s strength!
Aurora couldn’t imagine how terrifying an opponent who had lived for eight or nine hundred years, harvested countless souls as nourishment, and possessed rationality, would be; that was definitely an enemy no one would want to face!
Not to mention relying on the power of the council, even with the aid of the Secret Magic Society, they might not necessarily be able to defeat such a monster…
