[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

Howard's bullet can isolate the magician's sense of magic power - but it can't isolate the blood magic.

He knew Kelly knew blood magic, and he also knew the principle of it.Perhaps, he was powerless; but Kelly preferred to believe that when he learned that she knew blood magic, he was no longer on guard against her—she was willing to believe that what Howard did was not out of selfishness.When they first met her, neither of them could be sure whether they had good intentions for each other, but it was a responsible act for him to make this weapon.Of course, it is very frustrating to be turned over by the enemy now, but the matter has come to this point, Kelly does not blame him.

In any case, the loophole of blood magic gave her a chance, and the blood still opened up the door to the shadow world for her.Howard's weapon is still working in her body. The magic power passes through the entrance on the shadow barrier. Once it enters the world, it can no longer be used. Kelly can only control the moment when the magic power passes through the shadow barrier.This moment was only enough for her to cast the most basic spell—this spell would naturally have no effect on Sebastian Xiao, and would still be absorbed by him, so she chose to crush his body. helmet.

This is an excellent opportunity - the helmet that isolating mind control has been shattered, and the helmets of the White Queen and "Torrent" have already been taken off in previous battles, either destroyed or abandoned in the distance.At this moment, Xiao is defenseless against those with the ability to control mind.

But Charles was still in a coma.

Except for him and Roxie who were in a coma, everyone caught this opportunity, but unfortunately, everyone else was powerless.

Xiao's expression instantly turned into fury.He let out a roar, opened his hands, and huge energy—atom/sub/bomb-level energy erupted from him.Elizabeth exclaimed and raised her wand, but her frivolous magic shield was almost equivalent to hitting a stone with a pebble in the face of such a huge energy.The thin shield only persisted for a second before twisting and turning into nothingness.

In this second, Kelly suddenly raised the half of the staff she was holding tightly, turned the blade, and cut off her own carotid artery.

When Charles opened his eyes, what he saw was exactly this scene—the energy compressed to almost incandescent erupted together with a wisp of bright red blood, several meters high.

Then they are intertwined with each other.

Almost everyone was stunned and stunned, and even a seasoned fighter like Steve didn't react for a moment—but then, Shaw's attack helped them react.At the same time that Elizabeth's shield was broken, Kelly used blood magic to forcibly lock most of Shaw's attack power, and the remaining energy was only enough to knock everyone over.This was enough for everyone to quickly come to their senses. Charles immediately pressed his fingers against his temples, and firmly fixed Sebastian Shaw in place, while Bucky, Howard, and Elizabeth blurted out in surprise.In the chaos, the White Queen suddenly said: "She said, take away the nuclear bomb immediately, find a way to kill Xiao, and then retreat immediately!"

Before Xiao had grasped the situation with one hand, but he didn't untie her immediately, and he didn't think about her life or death when he attacked just now. The White Queen finally realized that compared with his ambition, Xiao didn't care about her. life.Steve immediately turned around to look at Charles, seeing that although he tried his best to stop Xiao, he nodded to confirm her words, so he immediately picked up Elizabeth, who had tears in his eyes, and almost dragged her into the base—his own Naturally, he was also shocked and painful, but he understood that the matter of removing the nuclear bomb was more urgent and important than that.

Among the remaining people, no one is staring at the shield with a radius of about two or three meters.The scene inside the magic shield can no longer be seen clearly. The energy equivalent to the power of a small nuclear bomb is forcibly locked in the small shield. The shield with blood magic reflected the surrounding area into blood red.In this case, even with their eyes closed, they could still feel the extremely strong light. Everyone turned their backs and didn't even dare to open their eyes—let alone think of some way to kill Sebastian through the protective cover. Stian Shaw? !

"Use a magic weapon, don't worry about accidentally hurting her." The White Queen suddenly said again.After a moment of silence, Bucky suddenly asked, "Which one of you has brought a weapon powered by the Rubik's Cube?"

"Me," said a Howling Commando.Baki said: "Bring it to me. White Queen, you direct him how to go."

"Take ten steps to the position thirty degrees in front of you to the left." The White Queen said, and the other party walked over with eyes closed, "One step to the left, two steps forward. Pass the gun."

Bucky fumbles for the gun.He undid the safety of the sniper gun, loaded it, and raised it to his chest.

The rest can only rely on the location of Sebastian Xiao he saw in his memory before he closed his eyes.

Under the intense light, there was a dead silence around.Everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats. After an unknown amount of time in the extremely tense atmosphere, there was a sudden gunshot, which made every heart beat violently.Charles put his finger down: "He's dead!"

Everyone can't wait to take the risk and open a gap in their eyes.Their backs were facing the magic shield, but the strong light emitted from it did not weaken in the slightest.The blood-red light reflected the surroundings like hell—no, it really was hell.

The bones at their feet writhed and stood up, the ground began to roll and crack, and magma spewed out, and all kinds of horrific and distorted demons writhed their bodies and drilled out of the ground.

he died.

Kelly sensed this—perhaps the only thing she sensed of what was happening outside.

Sebastian Xiao died, but the energy released by him during his lifetime had already left his body, and did not disappear together because of his death.Two or three meters around them, the energy was compressed to a density that may never have been reached in this world, tumbling and boiling.Xiao's dead body was crushed to the molecular and even atomic level in an instant, leaving no fly ash, but Kelly's body miraculously continued to survive.

But only the body.The clothes, equipment, and even the hair on her body had long been annihilated by the violent energy. According to normal calculations, now that she had almost lost all the blood in her body, she should have died within a few seconds of cutting the carotid artery.But now magic replaced blood and flowed through every blood vessel and every cell in her body. Her body seemed to have turned into a solid condensate of magic power, supporting her and the surrounding magic walls.

This is a force against the sky at all——this is the power drawn directly from the law——

This is her only option.

"I know why you are obsessed with pursuing the law of 'birth', and I also know the purpose of your understanding of this law. But, if you continue to do so, you will be killed by this obsession."

That's what Aslan advised her that day in Narnia.Under Kelly's insistence, he finally backed down a step and took her to the city where there was no one else.

There, Aslan told her that there is no clear boundary between the laws of life and death, and even other laws—elements, time and space, etc., in the final analysis, can all be deduced from the same principle, no matter how complicated it is. The math topics are also based on the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.The same magic principle, substituting different values ​​or conditions, is life, death, time, and space.The principle of magic is the source behind the laws of magic.Therefore, Kelly sensed "death", and could actually deduce "life" from it.

Of course, she couldn't do that in today's world, only in Narnia.Aslan did not play with her such word games.He went on to say that he knew Kelly's purpose for asking this—what she really wanted to ask was how to touch these laws, and even reverse them, so that even if she got out of this experiment, one day, if Bar If the lives of close people such as Key, Steve, or her two daughters are in danger, she can have a way to save them.

And Aslan told her that the method of touching the laws is the same—no matter which magic law is to be borrowed or changed, the method of touching them is the same, and the price is the same.

To break the shadow barrier, you need to pay blood; to go deep into the shadow world, you need to pay your life; and if a magician is ambitious enough to use the most basic magic laws, what he needs to pay is his soul.

This is why blood magic has never really succeeded in resurrecting anyone: when magicians use blood magic to reverse life and death, the soul of the life reversed has already disappeared as a sacrifice.This is why the mages who first entered the Shadow Realm with their physical bodies were polluted as dark descendants—the key is not whether they "offended God", but that entering the Shadow Realm with their physical bodies is itself a matter of reversing the law.All those magicians were forced to pay with their souls, and the bodies left behind in the Shadow Plane were polluted by the dark nature there.

However, just as Kelly answered Aslan that day - "As long as the chips are sufficient, although such a price is tragic, it is not necessarily unacceptable."

To get in touch with the laws of magic, you have to pay the price of your soul, but you can also obtain powerful magic power that is unimaginable for mortals. In Kelly's current state, in fact, her control over magic power is far worse than usual, and she can display less than one-tenth of her strength.However, even so, she can still tear open the shadow barrier in one go with a lot of blood and go straight into the depths.After touching the law, even if she exerts less than one-tenth of her power, she is enough to compress the energy of a nuclear bomb in this hemispherical wall with a radius of only two or three meters, and convert this energy into a powerful The light is released, gradually dissipating its energy.

Compared with the feeling of the soul being sacrificed, the feeling of the body is not worth mentioning at all.Kelly has long been unable to sense the outside world. The two sentences she sensed by the White Queen earlier were all silently read in her head, which means she can only broadcast but not receive information.

But these are small things.This world has never been a world with strong magic power. The magic power in this world is thin, and the shadow barrier is tightly locked, and there is no leakage.Now for thousands of years, the shadow barrier that may never fluctuate has been torn apart in such a brutal way. The extremely dense magic power almost turns the small area around Kelly into an extension of the shadow world, where demons will appear in the world one after another.Kelly didn't know if there would be any sequelae - but the shadow barrier can be recovered by itself, and the recovery speed is not known to be much faster than the speed of nuclear pollution.If you want to use this price in exchange for not detonating the underground nuclear bomb, it is worth it.

"Charles." She said silently with the rest of her strength in her mind, "I can't hold on for too long. Once the nuclear bomb is removed, everyone evacuates urgently and evacuates the surrounding residents. If anyone stays behind, they must wear goggles." Thinking of her, she paused, trying to overcome the feeling that her soul was being pulled away, trying to gather and integrate the remaining rational thinking, "No, there should be no residents around, it's better..."

She paused, then suddenly remembered: "If you can still read my mind, you should know what happened. Don't tell Bucky, don't tell him, don't tell him... If I don't come back in ten years , and tell him I'm not coming back, okay? Thank you."

Perhaps Charles did not hear these words, but if so, Charles would not know that the soul may not be resurrected through space, and she may never come back; Steve also has enough vigilance and experience to guide them to evacuate quickly, So Kelly wasn't terribly worried.But in order to give them a warning, she began to slowly expand the range of the shield.From a radius of two or three meters, it gradually increased to five meters, ten meters, 20 meters... until her remaining consciousness was gradually unable to support it.

With the last thought, she silently said three times: "Exit the world."

The strong light that broke out in the distance illuminated half of the United States at the beginning of night as if it were day, and everyone sitting on the plane couldn't help closing their eyes.Elizabeth looked at the tearful Charles worriedly: "Is your eye hurt? Do you want me to treat it for you?"

Charles shook his head: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while..."

He couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Bucky, hesitating whether to follow Kelly's order.But at a glance, he found that Bucky's face turned pale quickly.Steve, who was sitting next to him, also noticed it, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Bucky raised his head suddenly: "Why didn't I disappear with her?!" He asked almost in horror.

The author has something to say: the full text is over.

Weird.

It's not over yet, and there's still one more volume, so don't bother.
