I Pioneered Scientific Magic

"What do you mean, how different?" Victorio asked with a hint of confusion, wondering if there were other ways to ascend to legendary status.

Harof pondered for a while, seemingly considering how to accurately describe it. Then, as if struck by inspiration, he spoke up.

"I think their state might be somewhat similar to that individual..."

"You mean... the pseudo-god?" Aurora interrupted, her expression filled with uncertainty.

Harof nodded gravely. Initially, he hadn't grasped what this strange feeling was. It wasn't until a direct confrontation with Aila that he suddenly realized the similarities between the two.

"Could it be that they also utilize faith-based methods?" Aurora furrowed her brow.

Though she didn't reject using this method to gain power, compared to the ancient and eerie soul plundering by psychic wizards, this seemed relatively benign.

However, this concept bore significant flaws, capable of profoundly altering a person's mindset, hence why they had abandoned it.

Harof interrupted Aurora's speculation. "Just a resemblance. I've communicated with them in the microcosm; these individuals possess sharp intellects. They seem fine and don't adhere to any theories related to faith. Instead, like us, they focus on understanding the world's laws."

"Could they have found a way to circumvent that flaw?" Victorio hesitated.

"How's that possible? If that were true, would the Empire and the Church be so stable now?" Harof shook his head. Utilizing the 'Faith to Divinity' requires a large number of followers.

So many legends... so many gods, the entire continent would have long descended into chaos. They couldn't coexist because they were each other's greatest enemies!

"Regardless, why not go and see for ourselves?" Aurora smiled, the magical glow faintly appearing on the "Ring of

Secrecy" adorning her hand.

"It's exactly midnight now!" Victorio nodded. Almost simultaneously, the three activated their rings. With a coordinated effort, empowered by their will, they swiftly projected themselves at the speed of light.

The next moment, they felt their vision split, encountering a dark expanse.

"Is this the microcosm?" Aurora surveyed their surroundings. In the distance, countless radiant stars shimmered in the boundless void, with a colossal, scorching star at their feet.

Looking into the distance, it resembled a colossal fireball, its 'flames' constantly surging and expanding, emitting an incredibly intense light. To Aurora, it was the most majestic sight she had ever witnessed!

Despite kilometers separating them, they keenly felt the terrifying oppressive force, inducing an instinctive shiver!

Aurora swiftly discerned that this was no mere illusion. Around the star orbited several equally immense celestial bodies, revolving in an unending cycle...

The "Society of Mystical Arts" had managed to replicate the scene of celestial bodies orbiting...

This captivated Aurora, an astronomy enthusiast. Here, time seemed accelerated a thousandfold, allowing her to clearly perceive the cosmic order instead of relying solely on calculations and astronomical observations.

Similarly, Victorio was overwhelmed. Anyone facing these immense celestial bodies for the first time would be awestruck.

"Welcome to beyond time!" a gentle voice resonated behind them.

Aurora immediately composed herself, turning to face behind. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

At some point, four figures had materialized there, standing in the void.

"It seems you're the controllers of the 'Society of Mystical Arts.' How should we address you?" Aurora smiled, inquiring.

"We're not exactly controllers... There are no such figures here, be it the 'Society of Mystical Arts' or this realm of magic. They merely serve as tools for knowledge exchange." The elder on the right spoke casually, his disheveled white hair resembling the boundless starry sky.

Aurora remained skeptical. This place seemed anything but a simple gathering spot.

Just this microcosm and the spectacle of the galaxy they'd seen moments ago required a considerable amount of energy to manifest.

As per Harof's explanation, each speck in the void represented a star, an image replicated throughout this microcosm...

"Names are merely codes. If you must, call me Einstein," the white-haired elder added.

The three beside him introduced themselves.

"Maria Sklodowska Curie..."

"Isaac Newton..."

"Niels Bohr!" the final person spoke with a smile.

Aurora nodded, also mentioning her name.

Meanwhile, Victorio, like Harof, had previously faced the godly Aila. Hence, he swiftly noticed that these four legends of the 'Society of Mystical Arts' gave him a similar yet slightly different feeling compared to her...

Harof's attention, however, was elsewhere. His gaze remained fixed on a man with curly hair. So, you're Newton, the one hit by an apple on the head?

The last time he'd visited this microcosm, due to shock and continuous assaults, he hadn't had the chance to learn each person's name and identity. The assembly had concluded before he could grasp even the most basic understanding of these individuals.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin today's discussion!" Newton snapped his fingers. The colossal red fireball beneath their feet began collapsing inward, then violently exploded...

Another supernova eruption ensued, with boundless light and heat scattering in all directions, illuminating the dark void, a spectacular scene of a star's destruction devastating the entire star system.

They stood far away, and it took minutes for the intense energy and radiation waves to reach them. However, the terrifying energy and radiation didn't harm them. It felt as though there was a thin film separating them, allowing them to faintly sense the radiation waves, which felt scorching, almost like their souls were being burnt, as they passed through.

After the most intense shockwaves subsided, Newton, Einstein, and Curie turned to the wizard beside them.

"This time, it was you who initiated the gathering, right, Bohr?"

"Yes, today, I'll talk about atoms!" Bohr nodded casually.
