If someone were to drill into that huge tube, one would see the inner walls densely wound with metal coils. There was not a single gap. Close to the top of the tube, there was even a metal coil that had already been burnt up, slowly falling.

Of course, there were many more structures, complicated beyond the realm of human understanding, which was another matter.

According to the artist friend (who was artistically talented but lived a little poorly due to his enthusiasm for DIY projects), this was called a coil-type electromagnetic gun. The initial speed of the projectile was slow. It relied on a long barrel to provide acceleration. But if the barrel was long enough, the power supply sufficient, and the design perfect, it could launch extremely heavy things at frighteningly high speeds.

It would be theoretically possible to shoot a one-ton mass of iron at the speed of the Third Cosmic Velocity without difficulty.

Sui Xiong did not quite understand the standards they referred to. Although he was provided with formulas, he could not even bear to look at calculus, let alone attempt to calculate it. He could only exhaust his ability and do his utmost best.

Because his ability to cast spells was sealed off, he had to turn his own body into the gun barrel. He conducted several small tests underground, more or less estimating the limits of his transformation, on the basis that it remained “controllable.”

The final product was this outrageously huge super electromagnetic gun.

Its height had not been measured. The part sticking above ground was as large as Mount Everest, if a conservative estimate were to be used. The underground portions were three times larger than that.

Its power supply could not be measured. Sui Xiong’s one attack used up 70 or 80 percent of his energy reserves.

As for the power of the gun? The bullet already exceeded the speed of sound when exiting the barrel. If Sui Xiong didn’t place a small avatar on the shell, using his divine power to maintain a vacuum around it, its lead exterior would turn into molten metal.

Once the avatar was gone, the coil responsible for the acceleration of the shell burnt out almost instantaneously.

As the shell flew out, divine power continued to stir with the surrounding air, making a trail of dazzling white light. Even if it flew far away, the white trail remained undispersed for a long time.

“The temperature is really high!” The God of Justice exclaimed. He examined it curiously before looking at the direction the shell flew.

It flew so fast he could not even see it with his divine ability. He could only dispatch an avatar and hurry towards the direction of the Rainbow Spring to see what would happen.

These past few days, Sui Xiong had been quietly preparing underground. So exactly what move had he come up with this time?

After having his spellcasting abilities sealed by the Master of Mystery, he was still able to use divine power. But compared to the already long-matured system of magic, it was very inconvenient to do so. Under such circumstances, if he made this move, exactly what kind of power would it have?

“This cannon shell is fast enough,” Morani sighed. “How fast is it exactly?”

No one knew, not even Sui Xiong himself.

He only knew that the sight his doppelganger saw was mysterious. Everything behind him turned dark red, while everything in front turned bluish-violet.

Intriguing… ah, intriguing…

Sui Xiong had studied physics in high school, but high school physics could not touch this. He didn’t remember learning it anyway. Once he was in college, all his efforts were used in learning to paint. Anything physics-related relied on the mercy of his teachers in order to pass.

So, although trans-migrators with a greater understanding of physics would be shocked speechless upon seeing such a scene, Sui Xiong only felt that it was intriguing and nice to look at.

Fortunately, there was no one in this world that would jump out and sarcastically say “Uncultured, how terrifying!” so he had no need to worry.

The shell was so fast it pierced the sky in an instant, flying out of the main plane. It then went rampaging through the void, penetrating countless worlds both big and small without losing speed. It steadfastly moved towards the front of the Ring of the World.

“What is that?” In the Rainbow Spring, the Master of Mystery felt some uncertainty as he observed the blazing white train rushing towards them. He wondered, “What does this jellyfish want to do? Is he trying to attack me?”

He was really puzzled. This thing was truly fast. But even if it was as fast as lightning and quick as a meteor, could it actually penetrate the divine barriers around the Rainbow Spring?

No; how could that be possible?

He thought about it over and over again, and could not resist laughing.

“This guy is still too young after all, ah!” He smiled and said to some of his subordinate Gods beside him. “It’s just a scorching hot energy beam strengthened by divine power. Perhaps only young people would find such a thing powerful.”

“Disperse; it’s simply a mess!”

The God of Art and Culture, the God of Classics, and the others all left. But the God of Spellcasters stayed behind. He asked with some worry, “Your Majesty, regarding the issue of the God of Knowledge…”

“There’s nothing to worry about,” the Master of Mystery smiled as he said. “You made an appearance and fought with the God of Knowledge. We’ll take it, as we’ve made do with the situation.”

The God of Spellcasters felt puzzled. He had some doubts that were not answered.
