I Pioneered Scientific Magic chapter-365-the-power-of-gods-the-annihilation-of-the-everlasting-flames

In the scorching flames, Edweil's mind was instantly reminded of the biblical description of the fires of hell.

It was rumored that these flames could scorch everything, even the souls of individuals. Those touched by it would perish in the most agonizing manner! Edweil had never imagined that one day he would experience the punishment of purgatory. The flames were even more terrifying than rumored. While licking and dissolving skin and flesh, they infiltrated the body through the mouth, nose, and ears, eroding every cell and bone.

The sudden change on the field surprised everyone. Pulson's excited expression froze on his face while Edweil, beside him, was already engulfed in flames.

The door standing within the courtyard violently shook...

The supply of energy, bridging two worlds, was immense. Once Edweil, the supplier, was lost, the gateway to heaven would cease to be sustained.

Harof and Victorio immediately grasped this crucial point; now, the paramount objective was to prevent the other from stepping out of the gateway!

"Seal!" Victorio swiftly changed hand seals, intricate alchemical runes interweaving with magical luminescence, forming a silvery chain that locked towards the gateway from all directions.

Harof, merciless as ever, unleashed a force field spell once again, enshrouding the entire space, attempting to tear apart the gateway to heaven along with the pseudo-deity who had partially passed through...

The surging 'Everlasting Flames' surged under Lynn's control, rushing toward their target.

Through the blaze, Lynn stared fixedly at the figure about to step out from the gateway. Her form seemed shrouded in light and mist, indistinct yet exuding a profound and sacred aura, as if the origin of all things, compelling one to draw closer, kneel, and offer everything in reverence...

The silver chain, spatial tearing, and the ferocious Everlasting Flames converged almost simultaneously.

From the gateway to heaven emerged a god with eyes as dazzling as stars, bearing an indifferent and icy countenance. Extending a slender jade finger, the god tapped upon the void.

In the next moment, a powerful divine light appeared. Under the sweeping force of this invisible power, alchemical runes shimmering with magical brilliance instantly solidified, freezing even the raging sea of flames in place...

Yes, frozen!

Like a video paused, everything around froze in its tracks. Even the raging flames, whirling moments before, halted in midair, swiftly dissipating and vanishing...

For the first time, the Everlasting Flames... were extinguished!

Time stood still? Lynn's heart jolted, displaying shock on her face, but she quickly dismissed it.

No, not time standing still, this was... absolute zero!

Where the divine light covered, the movement of all elements came to a near standstill, reverting to their pure magical essence!

The essence of fire is the gaseous or plasma state of high temperature, and temperature is an expression of the average kinetic energy between molecules.

The collision between molecules generates and transmits heat. The greater the kinetic energy, the more vigorous the movement, resulting in higher temperatures!

Conversely, when molecular motion nears cessation, high temperatures and flames naturally cease to exist!

This was pseudo—temporal suspension, absolute zero!

Though Lynn didn't believe relying on chlorotrifluoromethane would render her invincible - after all, no matter how powerful, it was merely a chemical element - she hadn't expected her opponent to use this method to counter it!

Simple yet direct, it sent shivers down her spine!

The threshold of absolute zero is -273.15 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, all molecular kinetic and potential energies vanish. It's a value considered forever approachable but unattainable under any circumstances!

Yet, [Aila] achieved it. The domain of the gods expanded rapidly, freezing everything in its path!

Victorio, standing at the forefront, had already set up a protective barrier before the divine light swept through. Almost substantial alchemical runes formed a circular barrier that solidified into frost. Behind him, Raphael, lacking any resistance, was frozen into a block of ice...

Lynn stepped back, her speed insignificant compared to the expanding domain of the gods. Her magical barriers dissolved and disintegrated; a terrifying chill permeated her arms!

Suddenly, the glaring divine light vanished without a trace. Elements forcibly fixed within space regained their vitality, and the bronze door standing in the courtyard's center had disappeared.

If not for the frostbite on her arms and the frost-covered ground, one might have doubted if everything prior had been an illusion.

Lynn stood stunned for a moment before realizing that Edweil was dead!

With his demise, the power sustaining the arrival of the gateway to heaven vanished completely, expelling [Aila] from this unknown realm.

Crack~

The sound of breaking ice echoed; Victorio shattered the frosted protective barrier. After surveying the surroundings, a sense of post-calamity relief unexpectedly welled up within him.

"Never thought the gap between us and her would be so vast." Harof sighed, his expression grim. According to his prior estimation, even if they couldn't win, they should've at least had the strength to put up a fight.

However, the current reality proved that even their combined effort might not stand a chance against her casual strike.

Victorio shook his head. The Church had dominated this continent for eight centuries, with an accumulation of tens of millions of people. How could they be easily defeated?

Unlike the relieved wizards, Pulson, who had witnessed everything and was still alive, was dumbfounded, trapped in an extremely awkward situation.

The god, expelled without taking him, and Edweil, burned to ashes, left him alone facing two legendary wizards and an opponent who dared to strike against the divine for the Church's enemy!

Pulson struggled to swallow, intending to cast a divine spell for a final stand. However, the next second, he felt a sharp pain; his hands and feet were severed by a rushing blade of temporal energy!

A torrent of blood spurted out, indicating Harof's unleashing of pent-up rage. However, considering the acquisition of information, he spared Pulson's life...
