Chapter 348 Can I not talk about the laws of physics when I open it? - Socially Anxious Witch in the Apocalypse

Within the magical barrier, skirmishes erupted continuously. The energy consumption of the blue water dragon was immense, forcing Shi Shu to focus entirely on supplying it with power. However, being in this magma inferno for prolonged battles worked against her. She needed to resolve this issue swiftly. As a member of the Twelve Ministries, just like Si Di could summon help, so could she. Unfortunately, she was trapped inside the magical barrier set by the Illuminati, preventing her from contacting the outside world. Her only hope lay in the timely arrival and proactive engagement of pre-arranged allies. For now, she had to endure. The ideal scenario would be for Si Di to blunder as he did at the ruins, giving Su Miao an opportunity to break the magical array. Once the array was broken, her options would expand considerably, alleviating this passive predicament. However, this time, Si Di was persistently restraining Su Miao, preventing her from diverting her focus, which was quite problematic. Outside the magical array, to maintain the fire dragon's assault, the Illuminati's high-level magicians and ordinary magicians continuously channeled magic into the array. Just a few clashes between the fire dragon and the blue water dragon resulted in a significant depletion of their magic reserves. Gradually, some of the less powerful magicians showed signs of weariness. "Antonio, this woman is a real headache." High sorcerer Krosh Sitem remarked, "We must think of a solution." Despite being in a position of absolute advantage, the fire dragon summoned by the Illuminati couldn't defeat Shi Shu, frustrating the Illuminati members. What's even more absurd was the fact that Shi Shu was the sole supporter of the blue water dragon, while they were four strong. "She's the Scribe of the Twelve Ministries, it's not surprising she's this strong," high-level mage Tayana Correa commented. "According to the original plan, we would have taken advantage and killed Shi Shu when she got heavily injured, but she remains unscathed." "Then there’s the pink demon, Su Miao. Si Di still hasn't taken her down, extending the battle time might lead to unforeseen changes," high-level mage Isaac Horton added, "Damn it, according to the plan, Shi Shu should have been heavily injured in the ruins." Archmage Antonio Ochoa stated, "Let's not dwell on it, we should eliminate them first, unleash the artifact." High sorcerer Krosh Sitem questioned, "Antonio, are you sure?" "Certain!" Antonio Ochoa reached out his hand, and a shattered golden spear materialized in thin air. This artifact, discovered in a European ruin, had been identified as a weapon belonging to a mighty deity. Despite being broken, it still possessed powers beyond mortal comprehension. Now, they only needed to activate this shattered golden spear to unleash the once-mighty strike of a deity. After all, they were merely mortals present. Who among mortals could withstand a godly strike? Impossible. The four Illuminati magicians began chanting complex spells, infusing the shattered golden spear with endless magic. Underfoot, disparate colors of magical arrays appeared, each symbolizing a form of energy. Immersed in powerful magic, the golden spear erupted with a blinding light. Consequently, the magical barrier they conjured became ever more perilous. "The fire dragon weakened?" Shi Shu, gearing up for a prolonged fight, was taken aback. Though unaware of the situation, it presented an opportunity for her. She turned a page, allowing the blue water dragon to surge forward, forcing the unsupported fire dragon into the magma. Just as Shi Shu prepared to flip a new page to completely dispose of the fire dragon, she sensed a terrifying presence that sent shivers down her soul. "What is this?" Shi Shu looked towards the sky above the magical array. There appeared a golden deity wielding a spear, descending slowly. Endless streaks of lightning ravaged the magical barrier indiscriminately. Books materialized around Shi Shu, each transforming into a guardian, floating mid-air to shield her from the lightning, until they were obliterated to nothingness by its force. On the other side, Si Di wanted to curse. The Illuminati scoundrels, supposed to target Shi Shu and Su Miao, had included him in their attack, summoning a god's fragment of consciousness without any heads up. Si Di dodged the lightning strikes, glancing towards Su Miao. He worried that Su Miao might draw that sword again, but fortunately, she didn't. It seemed that even as a terrestrial fairy, Su Miao couldn't wield the sword again so soon. Yet, facing indiscriminate lightning strikes, Su Miao remained unbothered. Elegantly, she tapped her left hand upwards, shattering the void, followed by a staff smashing down hard. Caught off guard, Si Di was sent plunging into the roiling magma. "Su Miao!" Shi Shu called out from behind. The oppressive aura emanating from the golden figure holding the spear intensified, targeting the greatest threat, Su Miao. Unfazed, Su Miao merely clasped the alloy staff with both hands. Arcane Shockwave! Boom! A shockwave pierced through the surging fire dragon. Arcane Shockwave! A second shockwave crushed Si Di, who tried to emerge from the magma once more. Even subjected to such brutal assaults, Si Di remained unscathed, showcasing his terrifying strength. "Eliminate the witch first!" Outside the magical array, noticing the chaos within, archmage Antonio Ochoa urgently barked. According to the plan, activating the divine spear and summoning the deity’s shadow to kill Shi Shu was optimal. However, within the barrier, once deprived of support, the fire dragon was overpowered by Shi Shu and destroyed by the witch, Su Miao. Worse still, amidst the indiscriminate divine lightning strikes, Si Di was suppressed by Su Miao. Moreover, Su Miao was exuding an increasingly potent, frightful aura. They couldn't afford to overlook this. Boom! In the magical barrier above, converging lightning forged a lightning ball descending upon Su Miao. Arcane Shockwave! Su Miao unleashed a third arcane shockwave, instantly rupturing the lightning ball with dazzling arcane energy. The devastating explosion threatened the barrier’s integrity, indicating impending disintegration. Arcane Shockwave! A fourth shockwave targeted the golden deity shadow. Sensing the assault, the deity’s light flashed, effortlessly dissipating Su Miao's fourth wave. Arcane Shockwave! The fifth wave was similarly neutralized. Arcane Shockwave! The sixth, too, failed. Yet, under the barrage of compounded arcane shockwave impacts, the deity's brewing attack faced repeated interruptions, and this time, it even wavered momentarily. "She...she can defy a god!" Krosh Sitem was utterly astounded. This is a deity, even if just a remnant sealed within the shattered spear; once activated, it should obliterate a vampire lord effortlessly. And yet, this witch from the East, how does she dare confront the deity head-on, even launching her own assault? This scenario completely overturned their expectations. Antonio Ochoa insisted, "Don’t panic, continue infusing magic. Witch Su Miao is but a mortal; she cannot withstand a god!" It's undeniable that Witch Su Miao's power far exceeded what Si Di had reported to them. However, it didn't matter; mortals can be killed. Moreover, the deity would strike! Despite multiple disruptions, the shadowed deity had accumulated substantial power within the barrier. The deity raised the golden spear; its compressed lightning exuded a world-ending dread. Antonio Ochoa couldn't fathom anyone surviving this strike. Despite the haunting aura enveloping Witch Su Miao. A witch is still a mortal! Suddenly! Within the barrier, Su Miao cast countless energy crystals. These crystals, upon release, shattered instantly, transforming into pure energy absorbed by her alloy staff. Observing Su Miao’s actions, Shi Shu was unsure of her intent, yet promptly provided ample energy crystals for support. Instantly, magic saturated around Su Miao to near liquid levels. A radiant magical array unfolded. Multiple enhancement arrays, acceleration arrays, and focal arrays activated. Inside and outside the magical barrier, the sky plunged into darkness; endless starlight swirled, leaving only Su Miao and the golden deity shadow gleaming. Fueled by six layers of arcane shockwave effects, Su Miao’s remaining vast magic surged into her alloy staff, alongside the absorbed essence from countless energy crystals, being compressed to an extreme. The magical power within the staff reached an incomprehensible peak. Starshine Burst! Boom! Dazzling starlight exploded forth. The six consecutive Arcane Shockwaves were all for this one instantaneous burst of Starlight. At this moment, the golden deity's shadow wielding the spear of thunder struck downward. Both forces collided in the void. A deafening explosion ensued, akin to a galaxy shattering. Yet, the Starlight Burst only paused briefly before shattering the golden spear, obliterating the golden deity shadow alongside it. The magma inferno evaporated, the magical barrier shattered, and the destructive energy swept outward, instantly disintegrating high-level mage Isaac Horton who was too close. All 25 ordinary magicians perished. High-level mage Tayana Correa's legs were annihilated by the fierce energy, sending her flying back to crash heavily onto the ground, her breaths shallow and labored, her fate sealed. High sorcerer Krosh Sitem utilized a short-range teleport at a critical moment, escaping 800 meters away, narrowly preserving his life. Archmage Antonio Ochoa deployed multiple layers of magical barriers to withstand the shockwave head-on, but suffered severe injuries, slamming into a massive boulder, bloodied. His eyes were filled with terror and incomprehension. How could the deity's shadow, faced with Su Miao's assault, be so easily shattered and annihilated? "What the hell..." Shi Shu stood stunned, eyes wide open. In a single day, Su Miao first pierced through the demon god's image with a sword and now shattered a god's shadow with magic. Was the deity the Twelve Ministries studied for so long no more than a mere cabbage before Su Miao? She was at a loss for further astonishment. The urgent matter was to deal with the remaining members of the Illuminati. Shi Shu turned a page, summoning multiple entities from her book to hunt down the three surviving members of the Illuminati. It was time to transform them into book entries. Hmm? Shi Shu suddenly noted something amiss about Su Miao's condition. She was swaying mid-air, visibly unsteady. Was she overdrawn from the excessive magic consumption earlier? "Su Miao." Shi Shu was prepared to support Su Miao. Suddenly, the local gravitational field shifted. Shi Shu's expression changed—it was Si Di’s 30x gravity! Su Miao, whose magic was nearly depleted, was unprepared and plummeted to the ground, her fate unknown. Boom! The alloy staff landed far away with a terrifying explosion, clouds of dust obscuring the view. The ground rumbled as Si Di emerged step by step from below, his attire immaculate, his every step a crushing force upon the spirit and soul. High-level mage Tayana Correa, paralyzed by the overwhelming gravity, struggled, hoping to signal to Si Di her presence. But when Si Di activated the 30x gravity field, he spared no thought for her. In mere seconds within this field, Tayana Correa, with her frail body, succumbed utterly; her blood vessels, bones, and organs bursting in a ghastly display. The sight horrified archmage Antonio Ochoa and high sorcerer Krosh Sitem. Si Di had even turned on his allies! Damn it! "Hahaha!" Si Di laughed heartily: “Su Cheng, Su Miao, you have been defeated!" With furrowed brows, Shi Shu attempted to deploy her Great Library domain to rescue Su Miao, but found it impossible. Si Di taunted, "What, you still want to activate your Great Library? It’s too late." Casually tossing some devices, he chuckled, "Do you know what these are? Plain old signal jammers, designed specifically to counter you domain-inclined types." Shi Shu remarked, "Luo Dongjie, you've hidden quite deeply." Si Di retorted, "Hahaha, you're flattering me, though really, if we talk about who's been hiding best in the Twelve Ministries, isn’t it you, the Scribe?" “In the aftermath of Su Miao's clash with the deity’s shadow, even I had to sink beneath the earth, drawing on its power for shelter. Yet you stood effortlessly unscathed.” “Oh no, not entirely scot-free. Perhaps, at this moment, you’re in an especially fragile state?” Shi Shu’s pallor was evident, “Si Di, you’re wrong.” Si Di opened his arms wide, laughing, “Still putting on a brave face? Su Cheng, what do you have left? You think you and Su Miao can continue to live?” Shi Shu smiled, saying nothing. Suddenly, Si Di sensed an atmospheric shift around him. Glancing aside, disbelief clouded his eyes. The dust settled, revealing Su Miao, who was neither dead nor gravely injured, standing once more with a reforged silver sword in hand. Si Di could see clearly that while Su Miao stood, the reality of the 30x gravity field was affecting her; otherwise, she would have already moved forward. Without magic, lacking magical support, how could witch Su Miao avoid her bones and veins from shattering under such gravity? How was she standing in a 30x gravity field? Hey, hey. Even cheats have their limits, right? Does being a terrestrial fairy exempt one from basic physical laws? ... Ten kilometers away, Feng Xiaoshi watched the battle, eyes wide. Witch Su Miao, having shattered a formidable deity’s shadow with magic, now stood in Si Di’s 30x gravity field after exhausting her magic. Had Su Miao already reached that pinnacle? (Chapter ends)
