Chapter 553 -491: Sun Flame Cannon, Nuke the Holy City!

As everyone knows, the changes in the phases of the moon were related to the Sun’s radiation and its orbital period around the planet.

According to the observations of the wizards from the Prophecy School, the cycle of the moon in this other world was about 30.25 days, approximately equating to a month.

No, perhaps it should be said the other way around: the number of days in a month was determined by the cyclical changes of the lunar phases!

But June 15th every year was an exception, for on this day not only there would be a full moon, but the bright moon would shine more dazzlingly than ever and even trigger a magic tide, which is why this day was called Monday!

It was also an astronomical phenomenon unique to this planet.

Judging by the date, it was still around April, and there were still a full two months until June 15th. This year’s Monday had unexpectedly come early…

“Has something like this happened before, Chairman Aurora?” Lynn looked at the Legendary Witch beside him. If anyone knew about the observation and recording of celestial bodies,

“This is the first time indeed. Mondays have always been very punctual, never early or late,” Aurora said with certainty, having observed the stars for decades and knowing that mistakes in these matters were impossible.

“Could it be related to that false god?” Rafael mused aloud. “If I remember correctly, she’s supposed to be the Moon Goddess, right?”

Lynn had already thought of this, but hadn’t connected the two before.

After all, the moon was still a celestial body, and while it was small compared to a planet, its mass could only be measured in exatons.

In his mind, [Aira] was at most a native of the planet, a slightly powerful Legendary Witch. How could she possibly have such a significant impact on such a celestial body?

Yet Lynn didn’t verbally object as he thought it over and found it indeed peculiar.

In the holy texts of the Church, [Aira] was referred to as the creator, Creator God, the eternal being, the origin of all causality, and each title was incredibly lofty except for… the title of Moon Goddess!

Why not the more prestigious title of Sun Goddess?

In the eyes of the common folk in the empire, the Sun, which hung high and provided light to the world, should be regarded higher and more capable of garnering worship than the bright moon.

Yet, this title was the most widely known.

The council of wizards also pondered over this issue.

“Why don’t we go up and have a look?” Harrov suddenly suggested.

Previously, to validate Lynn’s theory about the planet, he had flown tens of thousands of meters high, reaching the limits that a Grand Wizard could withstand. Now, he believed he could fly even farther.

Lynn rolled his eyes. According to his calculations, the distance to the moon was over 400,000 kilometers, about ten times the circumference of the planet beneath their feet.

Even if a Legendary Witch could fly at the speed of sound, it would take a full 400 hours, or an unceasing seventeen days to reach, requiring precise calculation of the moon’s trajectory beforehand.

Who had time for that now?

“Even if the change in the moon phase is related to Aira, so what? We’ve already reached the city below; are we to abandon our efforts now?” Aurora suddenly interjected, ending everyone’s discussion dismissively. “Could she really cause the moon to fall from the sky and wipe us all out?”

That would not just be a legendary battle; it would be the literal end of the world!

Lynn nodded. Thinking too much now was futile; all answers would naturally be known by tomorrow.

Monday, huh? Vittorio, who hadn’t spoken up yet, was also looking at the sky but did not partake in the moon phase discussion, still considering the information he had gleaned from Gustav’s mind.

These pieces of information were too shocking, and before verifying their truth, Vittorio was not ready to disclose them, worried that they might just be Gustav deceiving him.

The origins of wizards, huh… Vittorio murmured to himself until Harrov called out a few times, bringing him back to the present, momentarily pushing his doubts aside.

In light of the unexpectedly advanced Monday, the council’s wizards were extremely vigilant.

However, contrary to their expectations, the night was very calm; nothing happened, and the Church did not take advantage of the darkness to attack them, possibly as some wizards had guessed, the empire’s main forces had already been decimated!

At exactly 7:00 a.m., as the sun rose in the east, the well-rested kingdom’s army officially set out.

Although they were carrying plenty of ammunition and supplies, the fully mechanized units did not move slowly, all thanks to the roads the Church had built between the empire’s cities; otherwise, there would have surely been armored vehicles breaking down along the way.

Around 11:00 a.m., the outskirts of the Holy City were already in sight.

Rafael and others visiting for the first time were amazed by the city’s vastness, nearly five times the size of the capital city, with walls over thirty meters high that resembled mountains, covered in the brilliance of Divine Arts.

The midday sunlight fell from the sky, and under the influence of Divine Protection, it formed a golden halo encircling the whole city.

As for the interior of the Holy City, it was enveloped in the Divine Domain, and only faint hymns could be heard drifting in the wind…

“The Church’s centuries of development isn’t so bad after all!” Although Harrov couldn’t see the specific scenes inside, he could imagine how many Divine Protections the Church had set up here.
