I Created Scientific Magic

Chapter 453: Chapter 439: The Greatest Discovery in the History of Magic—The Magic Power Conversion Equation!

“Lord Gustav, perhaps I should go instead!” a God’s Punishment Knight suggested, unable to bear the thought of sending such a young Ivina on such a dangerous mission.

He didn’t know what the Wizards had done to the kingdom, but he imagined it was probably too mild to describe as nefarious!

Among the rank-and-file God’s Punishment Knights, there were many who, due to a lack of Divine Arts talent and therefore considered unnecessary to cultivate, had not undergone the Divine Arts baptism, and he was one of them!

“This is not compulsory, you can refuse, and there will be no punishment. I will ask His Holiness the Pope for permission to send someone else,” Gustav said, showing no inclination to make things difficult for Ivina.

The piece intended for infiltration into enemy territory would only be a liability if not voluntary.

“No, there’s no need to trouble others, I will go!” Ivina said resolutely.

If they could not stop the coming of doomsday, then everyone would fall into purgatory. In such peril, no one could escape!

Gustav was very pleased with the girl’s determination and comforted her, “You don’t need to worry too much. I don’t think those Wizards will be too hard on an apprentice.”

At this point, Gustav asked his adjutant to fetch a set of documents and handed them to Ivina.

“This is your new identity and the Wizards you need to pay special attention to. It would be best if you could make some preparations in the coming days…”

Ivina nodded solemnly, took the documents, and started reading them. They contained information about the Wizards’ unique council system, hierarchical differentiation, personnel structure, and the identities of several council chiefs.

The girl committed everything to memory, but upon turning to the last page, she froze upon seeing the information there.

On the page was a portrait drawn by the empire’s finest artists, depicting a Wizard in his twenties, with brown hair and a gentle appearance, completely lacking the deranged and dangerous aura common to Wizards. However, the bounty on the individual was frightfully high!

The reward amount was a staggering hundred million Imperial Gold Coins!

Even those so-called ‘legendary’ Wizards, the masters of the council, had bounties of only ten million.

What caught Ivina’s interest even more was Lynn’s background: bringing about a cataclysm, destroying the Holy See’s punitive force, leading to the fall of the kingdom, and… razing half a seaport town.

“Herald of Doomsday… Lynn.” Ivina murmured softly, Lynn’s background vaguely reminding her of her own brother, Loth.

Soon after, Ivina shook her head in private.

How could it be?

At most, their ages and hair colors were somewhat similar.

This Wizard named Lynn was so powerful, having killed the Holy Maiden and with a flip of his hand, annihilated tens of thousands from the Holy See’s punitive forces.

Presumably, her brother must be just a minor piece or perhaps an apprentice under Lynn’s command.

“He is the most important target of your mission, the one praised as the Star of Magic by those Wizards, Lynn!” Gustav said with a solemn tone. “If we’re not mistaken, he should also be the main culprit behind the destruction of your hometown, the seaport town!”

When Ivina joined the God’s Punishment Army, he had already investigated her background, of course knowing that Ivina’s brother, Loth, died in that riot. It was rumored that Baron Pedro had also suffered a great mental shock as a result.

One could say that a once happy noble family had been utterly shattered…

“I will do my utmost to complete the mission, Lord Gustav!” Ivina put away the documents she was holding, her eyes revealing a complex expression.

“Very good, if you succeed, you will be the greatest hero who saved tens of millions of citizens of the empire!” the leader of the God’s Punishment Army encouraged.

“It’s truly a shame that His Holiness didn’t choose you to be the new Holy Maiden!” Gustav said with evident regret as he shook his head. “They’ve underestimated the potential of your body…”

He had never seen anyone with such outstanding battle talent.

Wizards might wield powerful and wicked witchcraft, but their prowess in close combat is usually limited; a moment of carelessness in melee can lead to even a great wizard’s beheading.

Although the information collected indicated that the Star of Magic was not as simple as an ordinary great wizard, Ivina also had another weapon at her disposal—her beauty!

If used correctly, it could be more lethal than any poison!

Combining these points was the reason he recommended to His Holiness that Ivina undertake this mission…

…

On the imperial border, within Fire Oil City, Lynn was unaware of the Church’s secretive plans against him and was wholeheartedly devoted to his research on Divine Arts and Magic Power.

“Incredible, this is truly incredible!”

Lynn muttered in admiration as he conducted a meticulous inspection of Judgement Chief Joshua’s forearm, using a magnifying magic spell capable of two hundred times magnification.

After several days of research, he had found many interesting things.

As he had previously speculated, the Church must have mastered a method to transform matter using Divine Energy as a medium—undoubtedly the most important gateway to ascension to legend!

In a nutshell, it was the transformation from vulnerable flesh to soaring energy!

Beyond that, he discovered that Divine Energy and Magic Power were essentially the same thing, but the difference lay in the fact that wizards’ Magic Power always carried slight variations.

Powerful wizards could often use Magic Power to ascertain a person’s identity!

Initially, Helram had easily seen through his flawlessly executed Shaping Magic.

However, all priests, bishops, and even cardinals wielded Divine Energy that was highly similar and indistinguishable.

Lynn suspected that the essence of Divine Energy was marked by “Aira,” or in other words, it was special Magic Power containing its will.

As Lynn pondered whether he could achieve the same thing using the magic network, he recorded all his thoughts on a piece of parchment.

Emblazoned on its title was—[An Analysis and Research Report on Divine Energy!]

Lynn was planning to publish it in [Magic Weekly] that week to help dispel the fear and panic wizards felt towards the gods,

Nearby lay the [Elemental Periodic Table] he had recently completed and a hefty stack of manuscript papers!
