I Pioneered Scientific Magic

"Please forgive our earlier offense, and thank you for your assistance," Harof coughed lightly, easing the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"It's no problem, resolving the issues between the Empire and the Church has always been our longstanding wish," Bohr said with a smile.

"I have another question, what exactly is this divinity? Why can't even the power of a nuclear explosion destroy it?" Aurora asked with a grave expression.

"Only a more microscopic force can withstand a nuclear blast!" Albert Einstein responded.

Lynn, having once witnessed the peculiar nature of the divinity, could somewhat answer this question.

"Quantum, perhaps?" Victorio murmured this term coined by Lynn, recalling the double-slit experiment they had witnessed that morning, which could only be described as bizarre.

He had been considering whether to postpone exploring the microscopic realm, but now it seemed not only imperative to proceed quickly but also essential to find a breakthrough to destroy the divinity.

"Then who killed the powerful Moon Goddess?" Harof was even more puzzled by this question.

Aila had spent hundreds of years ruling this continent to gather faith, presumably to take control of the divinity and replace the Moon Goddess Diana.

The magnitude of power that the adversary possessed was evidently greater than any they had faced before.

Yet such a powerful being was killed, which instilled a flicker of fear in Harof's heart.

"Was the killer from beyond the portal of time and space?" Victorio asked urgently.

"We were not wizards when the Moon Goddess Diana died, so our knowledge is very limited; we only know that her death was very sudden, and the devotees lost divine protection soon after, leading to the Church's collapse within a few years," Bohr replied, based on the scant information obtained from the books in the Holy City.

However, he knew they needed to offer something different from the council's information from the Holy City books to enhance credibility.

So, Isaac Newton took over the conversation. "If you suggest that the being who killed her came from the other side of the time-space portal, that might not be the case. Our universe is not as simple as you think."

Victorio looked puzzled at the others, not quite understanding their point.

Isaac Newton did not immediately elaborate but instead turned to Aurora. "I hear you have some understanding of astronomy?"

"Only a little," Aurora shook her head, knowing her grasp of the cosmos was far from comparable to that of Isaac and others in their presence.

"Do you know how many galaxies there are in the universe? And among these galaxies, how many planets like the Eternal Star?" Isaac Newton continued.

Aurora frowned; she had not carefully counted, as the number of stars was vast, like droplets in a lake, truly countless.

"Are you saying every galaxy we see might potentially harbor humans?" Victorio quickly grasped the underlying meaning of his words.

"Or perhaps not necessarily humans," Isaac Newton added.

"Life evolution isn't that simple. According to observations, most celestial bodies are barren and likely don't support life."

"But there are too many stars, just those visible to us number in the quintillions. Even if only one in a million, or even one in ten million, had life, the number of civilizations in the universe would still be in the hundreds of billions!"

The unimaginable number shook Victorio and Aurora profoundly.

Harof looked astonished, never having considered the threat from the endless cosmos above.

"But those stars should be very far from us," Aurora said hesitantly, considering even the nearest star visible to the naked eye, the sun, is billions of kilometers away.

"In the universe, distance is sometimes not an issue," Isaac Newton said with a smile.

Aurora fell silent, immediately thinking of the time-space gates erected across this continent.

After successfully diverting their line of questioning using probability theory, to prevent further inquiries about the war of faith, Lynn secretly instructed the AI to start cutting off the magical power supply in this area.

The bright stars in the miniature cosmos gradually dimmed, and Harof and the others were jolted from their thoughts on universal civilizations.

"It seems our discussion must end here for today," Bohr sighed.

Harof and the others were quite regretful; he still had many questions he wanted answered from Bohr and the others, but unfortunately, time was running out.

About ten seconds later, the light from a supernova had completely faded, and the surroundings were once again enveloped in darkness, and the five individuals felt the repulsion, voluntarily disconnecting from the magical realm.

"Finally, it's over..." In the capital, at the residence of the Iyeta Academy, Lynn removed the Ring of Arcane, slowly letting out a breath.

Although the Secret Magic Society had helped him solve many problems since its establishment, the trouble it caused was not insignificant, and there was always the risk of being exposed.

Deceiving Harof and the others was not

an easy task; had it not been for the vast amount of knowledge far beyond his own capabilities that he had demonstrated, his cover would likely have been blown long ago.

Fortunately, most of the troubles had now been resolved, and the whereabouts of the legends within the Secret Magic Society were explained.

Lynn carefully pondered the loopholes in his statements, feeling that most could be reasonably explained; the most problematic would be the cause of the Moon Goddess Diana's death.

But statistically speaking, aliens definitely exist, who knows if it was their doing?

He had only suggested a possibility after all!

As for whether the council would later enter the time-space gate and seek Bohr and others' whereabouts... that was a matter of centuries ago. In such a long span of time, anything could happen, and evading should be easy.

With this thought, Lynn relaxed and picked up the research notes on the table, which depicted a massive signal tower.

This was the prototype of a magic base station!

To realize the mass production of wizards, this device and quantum computing technology needed to be developed.

As Lynn pondered how to improve it, the entire kingdom was already in uproar over his proposed quantum wave-particle duality and probability wave…
