Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 392 Destruction and Creation

An invisible rain fell.

The first to discover the abnormality was a White Eagle fighter jet that was close to Shenyuanyi. When the pilot approached the strange figure in the air and was ready to open fire and call for fire support at any time, he suddenly received a sound of an alarm in the cabin.

The fighter plane was unbalanced. To be precise, it should be damaged somewhere, but this was almost impossible! This kind of advanced fighter plane that could be used in war was itself a very sophisticated machine.

Although they would also take into account the need to maintain combat capability in the event of damage in some extreme situations, or to design a system that allows the pilot to escape, this time seemed a little different... After the alarm sounded, the pilot found that the fuselage had begun to lose balance, and no matter how he operated in the cabin, it seemed that he could no longer save the situation.

Soon, amid the pilot's desperate roar, the fighter plane crashed inexplicably in the air.

boom--

The pilot who ejected from the cockpit watched the almost intact body of the fighter plane fall into the sea. He couldn't even explain to the people below in the communication what was going on. But soon it seemed that he didn't need to explain, because the communication channel suddenly became chaotic.

The pilot who opened his parachute and prepared to land on the sea could not hear what was happening over there at all. He could only hear chaotic shouts of fear and disbelief. Hanging in the air, he could only see the figures on the warship in the distance running around like headless flies.

"Ward..."

At this moment, he suddenly looked up as he noticed something. In his horrified eyes, he saw many tiny holes on the parachute above his head. They appeared out of thin air, as if some invisible thing had gnawed out small holes one by one, or as if it had been corroded by something.

The pilot floating in the air suddenly fell down. It turned out that the ropes tied to his parachute were corroded and broken. Looking at this even more desperate scene, he still couldn't understand what happened at this moment, why the fighter plane malfunctioned and crashed, why the warship below was in chaos, and even why his own parachute broke!

"No!"

Amidst the desperate cries, the pilot's parachute completely lost its effect, and he fell from a high altitude to the sea. At this altitude, even if he did not die on the sea surface immediately, the impact would cause trauma to his internal body and even make him coma. The outcome probably needs no explanation.

At this time, the personnel on the warships in the rear had no energy to pay attention to a pilot who failed to escape, because they were also in inexplicable trouble.

The first people to discover the abnormality were the personnel on the deck of the battleship. While performing their tasks, they suddenly found that certain parts of their bodies were itchy. When they observed the itchy areas, they saw that the exposed skin had wrinkles and other symptoms.

At first I suspected that it was swollen by blisters, but after a closer look, it didn’t look like that. It looked more like... the kind of loose and lifeless appearance that an old man would have?
Before these people could think further, someone nearby shouted in fear. When they heard the sound and looked over, they also saw the scene that made their hearts stop: rust began to appear on the steel deck of the battleship!

Those pieces of rust condensed on the surface of the ship like ice flowers, and the speed at which they appeared was so amazing that in just a trance, the rust spots in the field of vision had already spread out.

What followed was naturally uncontrollable chaos. Soldiers, warships... whether dead or alive, all showed abnormal phenomena in different situations at this moment, especially the soldiers on the deck. They watched with their own eyes as their companions or themselves experienced horrific changes on the surface of their bodies.

This feeling... If I have to find an appropriate word to describe it, then "aging" is probably the most appropriate. Yes! It is aging! The steel surface of the soldiers and even the warships seemed to have compressed a long time into a moment. Rust appeared on the steel, and the young human body turned into an old man...

"It's him! It must be that guy who did it!"

The personnel inside the battleship were not affected by the terrifying erosion at the first time. They saw the slowly descending figure through the camera equipment that had not yet completely shut down. There was no doubt that this inexplicable and incomprehensible change must have been caused by some super-powered person, and the other party was most likely from the Neon side.

"All units that are still capable of fighting, listen up! Aim at the superpowered being in the air and fire at him!"

……

Rain of time.

One is a spell based on barrier technique and very similar to the structure of the domain. It was a spell that Shen Yuanyi mastered when he was conducting research in the field. In a sense, it can be regarded as a reduced version of [Guixu].

However, compared to the direct annihilation of the domain, the time acceleration effect of Time Rain can see the speed of change, which means that its lethality will be insufficient, but the price is an extremely large range of the spell.

There is no need to maintain the complex structure of the field and consume huge amounts of spell power, which means that the caster can use more of his energy and strength to expand other aspects. And with Shen Yuanyi's current abilities, how far can the scope of this spell be expanded?
In fact, even he himself was not sure of the exact answer, but in reality, the rain of time had already covered most of the White Eagle's warships deployed on the sea.

People grow old, steel decays... Under the erosion of time, ordinary structures that are not made of special alloys will be the first to show rust. As they are exposed to this rain curtain that ordinary people cannot see for a long time, those people or things with a short "lifespan" will slowly decay.

After suffering such damage, these war machines will inevitably malfunction or even stop working. The only solution is to either escape from the range of the spell or to quickly eliminate the caster in the presence of a shield like the ship's hull, just like the decision made by the commander of this fleet at this moment.

What came head-on was all kinds of artillery fire. It was not enough to describe it as a hail of bullets. In fact, guns were already miniaturized weapons to fit the frail human body. Guns with larger calibers and stronger firepower could not be controlled by the human body at all.

After all, those things are just some kind of cannon or some kind of bullet. Only when they are separated from the flesh, which is a hindrance, can they show their cold and absolute destructive power. "Useless."

But after the figure in the sky opened his mouth to pronounce the verdict and stretched out his hand, the artillery fire that was whistling in the sky was frozen into a painting. The artillery fire that was originally only a shadow or a light track in the field of vision now revealed their original appearance.

Shen Yuanyi knew that the commander of this team was watching him from a certain warship on the sea. Thinking more deeply, it was possible that the top leaders of the White Eagle or even the East Country were also paying attention to this side.

And this is exactly the 'now' that he saw and realized. He was going to show the true power of the spell in front of the 'whole world'. When would a person pursue something by any means necessary? One is when he is extremely eager for it, and the other is when he has to have it.

This thing used to be soldiers, then it became the most destructive weapons in the era of hot weapons, and then it became all kinds of high-end technologies in peacetime. This is how it is on this clear blue planet. If you don't have it, I can rely on something to attack you at a dimensionality reduction level, or pry open the situation and strangle you, making you as uncomfortable as you can. If it is a decisive existence like nuclear weapons, then people without it are not even qualified to be a foil.

Spells, or whatever you call them, are the next example.

White Eagle is strong, right? It was a country of various immigrants and complex people that rose up during the chaos and eventually became the world's hegemon for a time. However, its short birth meant that it did not have much background in this regard. This was of course nothing when the supernatural powers in other places were dormant for various reasons. At that time, the strongest spell might not be able to withstand a round of artillery bombardment.

But when the spell 'awoke', it only took a few first-rate, if not top-notch, magicians to make White Eagle desperate, and eventually he had to make a deal with the East Country.

Not to mention magicians like Gojo Satoru or even Kamiganichi. If the former were to put aside his attachments, he might be able to achieve the so-called "country-based" standard, which has a greater symbolic meaning among the special-grade magicians.

[No Lower Limit] is not invincible. For example, it cannot filter poison gas easily, and it is even more impossible in automatic mode. However, a humanoid self-propelled destruction weapon that can fly, has a 'nearly infinite blue bar', and can perform medium and long-distance space movement similar to teleportation, once it is determined to carry out unlimited destruction, the only thing that can be prayed for is that the radiation of nuclear weapons [No Lower Limit] cannot be blocked, and the reversal technique cannot heal it. Otherwise, it will really be possible for one person to fight against an entire country until both sides compromise or one side is completely defeated.

As for the source of God, there is probably no need to mention it. Therefore, the importance of spells is self-evident. The reason why spells were cut off by all parties in the past, even if Neon prospers from time to time, is actually locked in this island country.

That's because spells will also bring curses, and only the sorcerer can resist the curse. Not to mention whether the sorcerer can completely resist the curse, if this continues, it will cause a split within the person, forcing them to be divided into two types: sorcerers and non-sorcerers.

This is an inevitable trend and it will not change because of a certain case. Think about it, when the supernatural powers are cut off, people can form harsh classes because of some forces that can be reversed and resisted. Then, with the innate and more difficult to reverse power gap like "spell", what will the world become?
Therefore, the ancient sages made a difficult but great decision, which was to open up the connection between heaven and earth!
Cut off the way to heaven and pull everyone back to the earth. In this way, even the most noble and supreme beings will have the humiliating moment of lying on the ground like a dog. Everyone becomes a "human", and there will be no more immortals or gods.

Then some people may wonder why Shen Yuanyi wants to reopen this "Pandora's Box" now. Of course, it is because this box will not only bring disaster, it will also bring "hope".

Nothing is eternal. The eternal universe is heading towards extinction on a larger scale, let alone a certain point of view or decision. Decisions like Jedi Tiantong are certainly correct. They have ensured that human civilization can develop to its current relatively healthy level.

But times have changed, and now it has become "wrong", or in other words, it needs to be changed. The current development of human technology can actually be called another kind of "spell", flying into the sky, moving mountains and filling the sea... Aren't these what only the strongest spells could do in the past?

It is known that spells originated from humans and cannot be completely eradicated. Even in the remote Eastern Country, there are actually some people with extraordinary talents who can display some extraordinary powers.

Secondly, at some point spells will inevitably become the choice of a new round of "arms race", which means that sooner or later greedy people will coerce others into pursuing and mastering this power.

Then it would be better for the Divine Source to break this shackle and eliminate the bloody storms caused by the future changes in the times, which seem terrible but are actually insignificant in comparison.

As for whether it will cause a gap between sorcerers and ordinary people, this worry is not unreasonable, but it is very likely that this will rarely happen in the future that Shenyuan has seen, and the reason is actually very simple.

Firstly, there is no universal law for the creation of spells, and spellcasters do not appear strange in appearance, so certain contradictory plots such as mutants in film and television works will not appear. Secondly, middle and low-level spellcasters are actually very weak.

Human weapons don't even need to be used against them. They only need a sniper rifle. Looking at the current world of sorcery, how many middle-level and lower-level sorcerers can withstand a single shot? Even most sorcerers can probably be dealt with with a powerful enough electric shock gun.

As for using spells to commit crimes? Is it possible that only criminals are allowed to use spells to commit crimes, but law enforcement officers cannot use spells to arrest criminals? There are many bad people in this world, but there are more good people. How could there be more people who rely on their power to commit crimes than those who want to use this power to build society?

Of course, this period may require a lot of adjustments, but no matter how you put it, such a process is much better than a chaotic war that ultimately leads to order.

Skipping the intermediate steps and going directly to the showdown between the pinnacle of sorcery and the pinnacle of human force will make everyone recognize one fact: this is the key to the new era. If you want it, then go after it, but it also has edges, so be careful and correct your attitude.

Those who are blinded by greed will be hurt by the sharp blade, and those who harbor evil intentions will die by the blade. This is not advice, but a warning. After all, the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that mankind cannot learn lessons from history. Therefore, perhaps such recent "lessons" will not be ignored like distant history.

"I am not destroying, this is..."

"create!"

A dazzling flame that covered the sky bloomed, and then it and they were swallowed up. A pure black "sun" that existed only for a moment but was truly eternal descended.
