Lin En imagined the shape of a honeycomb in his mind, but it was not an easy task to weave a perfect six-sided lattice structure with elements at the atomic level.

After failing dozens of times, Lin En barely managed to produce one unit of graphene.

Fortunately, with experience, his speed became much faster. By midnight, Lin En had successfully created a complete circle of graphene shield around his body.

The amount of magic power consumed to make this thing was not a small amount, almost consuming one-fifth of his magic power reserves.

Although the more complex the deconstruction of the mimicry's material, the more drastic its consumption, this is a bit too exaggerated...

They are just creations of carbon.

Lin En was somewhat puzzled, but he did not spend too much energy on exploring the increased magic power consumption. Instead, he studied the new type of protective magic he had developed.

Graphene has a very high light transmittance, reaching over 97%. Combined with its atomic-level thickness, it is difficult to see directly with the naked eye.

But through perception, it is particularly clear that countless carbon atoms are neatly arranged like honeycombs, overlapping and continuous for thousands of layers, and the thickness reaches about 2,000 nanometers...

"What a perfect creation..." Lin En couldn't help but exclaim, and was also amazed at the exquisite deconstruction of graphene.

Next, it’s time to test its protective capabilities.

Lin En stretched out his hand, and a sword several meters long, emitting magical fluorescence, appeared in his hand.

This is the high-frequency vibration particle knife that was used against Saint Cynthia before!

“Cut!” Lin En showed no mercy and used all his strength to chop directly.

The particle knife vibrates hundreds of thousands of times per second and can achieve cutting at the atomic level. Its power is self-evident. This strike easily cut through the divine protection that Cynthia had built around her body, and chopped off her arm with one sword!

The powerful particle knife soon collided with the six-sided lattice structure shield.

What is the concept of 2,000 nanometers? It is only equivalent to 2/10,000 of a centimeter. It will take a while to find it even with a microscope. However, this graphene shield, which is 10,000 times thinner than paper, has withstood the powerful attack!

On a microscopic level, the thickness of graphene was only torn to about one-fifth.

"Very good!" Lin En nodded with great satisfaction. You know, he didn't hold back at all just now.

Not to mention that this is not the strongest protection state of the graphene shield.

Because this thing has another important property, which is conductivity!

Still one of the best conductors!

For example, one of the Federation's electromagnetic technologies uses graphene's efficient energy storage and conductive properties to form a powerful electromagnetic field on the surface of an interstellar battleship to resist the invasion of cosmic rays.

Lynn felt that if a thick enough graphene shield could be made, combined with an electromagnetic barrier as magnetic field protection, the power of a close-range nuclear explosion should be reduced to a level that a legendary wizard could barely withstand.

However, his previous attempt at the legendary spell [Real Realm] had almost exhausted his mental and magical powers. Considering the need to deal with emergencies, Lin En did not continue his research and practice of magic, but returned directly to the City of Kerosene.

As the war approached, the whole city was filled with a tense atmosphere. The rumbling trains almost never stopped, continuously transporting materials and personnel from all over the kingdom to the City of Kerosene.

Patrol guards with muskets could be seen everywhere on the streets. All the way to the meeting room, even Lin En was questioned several times.

This was obviously because Cynthia's previous disguised invasion had made the parliament alert, so the level of defense was suddenly raised several times.

Lin En did not use his status to ask for any privileges. He cooperated very well and completed the inspection, but in his heart he was thinking about the preparations for the next war.

Apart from how to conquer the holy city and deal with the false god, the most important and difficult issue they face now is actually management.

The entire empire was simply too large. Even though they had selected many grassroots managers within the kingdom through the affairs officer selection examination, it was still far from enough.

As for the progress of the war, Lin En is still very confident. After more than a year of preparation, the parliament is no longer as short of people and supplies as it was when it first came out of the wizard land to capture the royal capital.

The newly trained musketeers alone numbered over 70,000 men, and with the addition of a portion of the kingdom's troops, the number of men they could mobilize exceeded 150,000.

This is far from the limit of what the kingdom can bear!

The mechanized planting on large farms and the introduction of artificial starch technology have almost freed the kingdom's subjects from the most basic problem of food shortage. They may not eat well, but at least they can have enough to eat.

There are countless civilians who are eager to sign up to join the army. If they want, they can increase the number of troops to more than 300,000 at any time.

However, what Lynn wanted was a well-trained, professional army with strict military discipline, not a group of cannon fodder and bandits with no military discipline.

After entering the conference room, Lin En immediately asked someone to find Vittorio, who was conducting research and transformation work on the magic circle, and asked him about the reserves of tritium and deuterium fuel, and most importantly, when the next promotion ceremony could begin at the earliest.

"Probably three days later." Vittorio said thoughtfully.

It takes a lot of energy to become a legendary wizard. Last time, it took hundreds of wizards proficient in thunder magic to evaporate half of the lake to gather enough energy.

There was also the issue of magic power. All of the council's magic stone reserves had been used for the promotion of the two of them. In order to gather the magic stones for promotion as quickly as possible, Vittorio had sent all of the council's idle wizards to the magic stone mines to mine ten days ago.

For this, he suffered a lot of criticism, and few great wizards were willing to do such easy, hard work.

But there is no other good way. The magic stone is very hard and has broken several mining drills. Before improving the mining methods, the cutting magic of the great wizards is more useful.

"By the way, I heard from Aurora that you didn't have any extra fuel when you were promoted, but you still managed to get the nuclear fusion reactor working again, and even released more powerful energy?" Vittorio suddenly asked.

"Yes, you can understand it as secondary nuclear fusion." Lin En explained the general principle as concisely as possible.

Vittorio's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked, "In this case, is it possible to carry out a third or even a fourth nuclear fusion?"

The fusion of tritium and deuterium produces helium, and the fusion of helium produces carbon. Logically speaking, carbon ranks sixth in the periodic table, so it should be able to continue to fuse upwards.

If they could do that, they wouldn't have to bother extracting heavy hydrogen from water. Just collecting the fuel once would be enough to promote several legendary wizards.

"How can it be that easy?" Lynn rolled his eyes.

They were lucky enough to complete two nuclear fusions in the reactor. The requirements for carbon fusion were extremely stringent and only existed in the cores of heavier stars. Their own power was simply not enough to meet the conditions.

After Lynn's explanation, Vittorio had no choice but to give up this wonderful idea and instead started to study the improvement of alchemy.

After being promoted to Legend, the increased power gave Vittorio many new ideas. The magic models of [Fall of Sky] and [End - Atomic Breath] that Lin En gave him before broadened his horizons.

These two kinds of legendary magic may not be impossible to perform through alchemical means.

……

Three days passed in a flash. While Lynn was practicing magic and discussing the transformation of magic with Vittorio, preparations for various wars were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

At nine o'clock every morning, fighter planes would take off on time to various cities in the empire to deliver leaflets and cooperate with spies within the empire to carry out anti-theological science propaganda.

Thousands of armored vehicles equipped with machine guns have entered the kerosene city, airships and fighter planes have been refueled, and more than 100,000 well-trained regular troops are ready to go, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

And this opportunity soon arrived. The promotion of Harof and Aurora was smoother than Lin En had imagined. Both of them had been stuck in the realm of the Six-Ring Great Wizard for more than a hundred years. They had accumulated enough experience and even used some inexplicable means to make their computing power break through the limit of this realm.

Combined with the experience provided by Lynn and Vittorio, both promotions were smooth sailing.

Harof, who was the last to step out of the fusion furnace, convened a new round of wizard meetings before he had time to feel the power and beauty of this transcendental level of life.

With the support of nearly 90% of the votes from 153 members, the parliament soon officially announced that the war to end the church's rule and disintegrate the empire officially began today!

At the same time, news came from the empire that hundreds of thousands of troops assembled by the church on the border launched an attack at the same time.

"Very good, very good, they actually dare to attack head-on!" Harov was quite surprised.

However, there is no need to defend the city this time. They are not afraid even if the false god leads the army personally.

"Then let's go to the Holy City and defeat them all!" Lin En said firmly.

Chapter 490: Crush, the swan song of the old era!

At noon, at the border of the empire, on a plain about a hundred kilometers away from the holy city, tens of thousands of fully armed imperial cavalrymen in silver armor were on standby.

The leading Cardinal Nix looked at everyone present and spoke solemnly.

"Everyone, according to the spies' report, the two cities on the empire's border have now been captured by wizards. Those evil minions are slaughtering and killing the Lord's believers wantonly, and now they have reached deep into the heart of the empire, preparing to spread pain, disaster and death to the entire continent!"

"The end of the world has come! Behind us is the Holy City. You and I have no way to retreat..."

Under Knys's sorrowful narration, tens of thousands of cavalrymen couldn't help but show fear on their faces, but soon Knys' voice became louder and louder, ringing in everyone's ears like a huge bell.

"But we don't need to be afraid, panic, or terrified! The great Lord is watching from heaven right now, watching everyone who is fighting a desperate battle for the Empire and the Church!"

“Death and faith are the keys to unlock the kingdom of heaven and bring the soul to eternal peace!”

"Shout out now, the Lord's most pious people. The end of the world is not worth fearing. Our sacrifice will be engraved in the long river of history. In the not too distant future, the Lord will descend from heaven, dispel the haze of the end of the world, and turn the world into an eternal pure land..."

Knicks' impassioned speech made the Cavaliers present forget the panic and fear in their hearts. They raised their weapons, shouted loudly, and vented their inner madness and determination.

"Kill those blasphemers..." "May the great Lord dispel the haze of doomsday and turn the world into a pure land!" "May the glory of our Lord shine upon all things!"

At this moment, everyone abandoned their fear of death. Even though everyone knew that defeat and destruction would be waiting for them, there was no hesitation.

Because death is not the end of suffering but a ladder to heaven.

In the Lord's kingdom, there is no illness or aging. The rivers there flow with fragrant wine, the wheat fields will automatically produce full ears of wheat without the need for cultivation, and the branches of every tree are hung with juicy steaks... Everyone will live in magnificent mansions and enjoy endless peace and joy.

Amid the shouts of the crowd, Knicks suddenly dismounted from his horse, knelt reverently on the ground in the direction of the holy city, kissed the soil beneath his feet, and chanted the name of the Lord.

More and more people spontaneously dismounted to perform their final pilgrimage, praying that the great Lord would protect them and enable them to achieve the final victory.

Amid the increasingly loud prayers, a ray of milky white light emerged from the direction of the holy city.

A faint divine light shone around everyone, and a fanatical emotion gradually occupied everyone's mind. At this moment, they all felt the Lord's gaze, and there was only one thought left in their hearts, which was to use the swords in their hands to chop down all the enemies in front of them who dared to block them, and defend the Lord's glory with blood and life...

"Praise you, my Lord, your power makes the stars dim!" Knyx responded to the Lord's gift, then stood up, led tens of thousands of cavalrymen to mount their horses, pointed their swords forward, and shouted loudly.

"Now... Charge!"

"Charge, charge!" Accompanied by roars, tens of thousands of cavalrymen urged their horses on at the same time, charging forward like a landslide or tsunami.

Just at the end of the horizon, a steel torrent consisting of thousands of armored vehicles has appeared in everyone's sight. The wheels rolled over the earth and rocks, raising clouds of flying dust. Under the ferocious armor, there were machine guns mounted, and the muzzles were flashing with cold light, as if they could fire a deadly barrage of bullets at any time.

Of course, Knicks knew that this was a new weapon of war developed by wizards, with powerful defensive and offensive capabilities, but he believed that under the power of the Lord, nothing was invincible!

Even if the final outcome is defeat, he will do his best to deal the heaviest blow to the enemy...

The charging cavalry got closer and closer to the advancing steel torrent, and soon crossed a dangerous distance - two kilometers!

The roar of artillery sounded first, and hundreds of shells flew into the sky, and then fell from the sky like a meteor shower.

"God is with you and me!" Knyx raised his sword high and shouted loudly, and the divine light that appeared around everyone immediately gathered together.

The ten thousand divine punishment troops who had taken the divine grace potion were at the forefront, with a large number of priests and bishops as the core, and an exquisite divine magic array was quietly unfolded.

An invisible magical barrier appeared out of thin air, immediately covering tens of thousands of cavalrymen. Fierce artillery fire bombarded it, creating ripples and obvious cracks on it, but they were quickly repaired.

Relying on the divine power of thousands of priests and bishops, Knicks led tens of thousands of cavalrymen and advanced rapidly despite the attack of artillery fire, and soon they were within a range of one kilometer.

At this moment, hundreds of red rays of light shot out from the enemy's formation, and almost instantly destroyed the layer of divine protection.

In the rapidly generated high temperature, the iron ball that was burned red, deformed and almost melted quickly passed through the entire array. No matter whether it was the silver armor on the knights or the divine light flashing around them, they were as thin as paper under such terrible speed and power.

A Divine Punishment Knight in the front row didn't even see how the light came flying towards him, and he and his mount were turned into a ball of blood mist and fragments...
