597 A World Beyond Fantasies (1/2)

The truth of the world?

Although Lucien's voice was very soft, the dozen members of the Highest Council in the meeting were at least ninth-circle archmages, and they caught it perfectly. Also, his voice was more astounding than the rumbling thunder and the destructive collapses in their ears, as if it were exploding directly in their head.

Only by abandoning the original concepts could you see the truth of the world?

Was it the truth of the world?

Electrons, which had been behaving as perfect particles, displayed the most classical pattern of diffraction when they bombarded a crystal!

It was as absurd as a dark, silent and cold night when the sun was high above and sunlight was everywhere!

It was like a sacred and beautiful angel turning out to be a stinky and hideous devil!

Was it the truth of the world?

Was it the truth that was more unbelievable than imagination, weirder than magic, and more unpredictable than gods?

At this moment, including Douglas, all the grand arcanists who had the strongest interest in the mysteries of the world couldn't help but shake their heads. This had completely disrupted and refreshed their understanding of the world. Everything was so bizarre that it was like the strangest monster!

As for the other legendary sorcerers and archmages, some covered their mouth and some held their hands tightly as if they were going to crumble the item in their hands. Somebody bit their lips hard to confirm that it was not their illusion.

They had been pursuing the truth of the world, but when the truth was partly unveiled, showing them parts of it, they ended up backing off out of fear.

Was it the truth of the world?

This was utterly different from their daily experience and intuitions!

It made them feel that they did not recognize the world before them anymore!

Suddenly, thunderstorms, starlight, and snowflakes vanished. Douglas, Brook, Hathaway, and Fernando quickly established their magic circles, preparing to confirm the experiment.

Even though Lucien had set up the magic circle right before their eyes, and even though Brook had launched the electron currents in person, they would not believe it until they had confirmed it in person!

”Use monocrystal…” Lucien suddenly reminded them and briefly described the monocrystal.

Hathaway nodded and prepared according to Lucien's description. So did the other members of the Highest Council.

Soon, more than ten complex magic circles were set up, and gigantic monocrystals were placed at their centers. Brook, Fernando, and other sorcerers launched electron currents directly or with the assistance of magic items.

Without a sound, the beautiful and intangible image of diffraction appeared in Brook's magic circle, followed by many others. The conference was so quiet and still that it looked like a weird painting.

BOOM!

Rumbling thunders roared again, and the views of elemental tides and alchemical haven reappeared. The blobs of light were so fuzzy that they seemed to be collapsing soon.

Thankfully, everything became quiet after several seconds. The members of the Highest Council held back their intense emotional turmoil.

For Brook, Oliver and other supporters of the wave theory, it was not a destructive blow at all but a huge benefit. They were only too astounded by the unimaginable situation to keep calm.

Hathaway and the other supporters of the particle theory—thanks to the previous debate—were already prepared that it was the special behavior of particles. Also, it could be used to address the problems in new alchemy. Therefore, their cognitive worlds were not broken and solidified.

Of course, that was also because they were the top experts in the world and had a much greater knowledge and self-control than other arcanists.
