Elite Mages’ Academy (Web Novel)

Chapter 559: Distorted Space-Time

In between the man’s palms, a galaxy-like, endless darkness was quickly forming with that black orb as the heart of it. An immense amount of dust and stones, and even the ice shards and flames from the surroundings, were frantically being sucked in.

Ivan had a startled expression. “Using the pull between spaces to form a miniature blackhole? After not meeting each other for a few years, you’ve actually mastered this killer technique! However, Song, with your power, you will only be able to create a blackhole. You won’t be able to control it. You should know more clearly than I do what losing control of a blackhole means! You… Are you trying to die?!

“Since that’s the case, then let’s try it out. A collision between a blackhole and a meteor, hahaha. I want to see what kind of power it will produce! Let’s go! Collide with that meteor!”

As Ivan laughed, the gigantic meteor started to hit the ground. In a flash, a terrifying blast and an explosion of light that resembled a star filled up every corner. Xiao Lin shut his eyes at that moment, but could not resist leaving it a fraction open. He did not want to miss anything that happened during the final moments.

From their words earlier, Xiao Lin derived that they were currently on Earth. Then, the question came… Ivan had created a meteor and sent it straight to Earth, and even though Xiao Lin did not understand physics, he still knew some basic knowledge. If a meteor of that scale hit the Earth, even if it did not destroy it, it would still be enough to completely kill off all the humans on Earth.

Yet, actual history proved that to be false, so did that mean that the meteor had been stopped by that man named Song?

Countless questions surfaced in Xiao Lin’s mind, and the piercing light lasted for a very long time. Even just peeking through a small crack in his eyelids was enough to cause his eyes to water, but he quickly found that something was wrong. He seemed to be getting closer and closer to the center of impact?

Even though he did not understand the principles behind the glass orbs, based on Xiao Lin’s guesses, they should be like memory crystals, and recorded history through some sort of special method, and he was just watching it like a movie.

What sort of joke was this!!

Xiao Lin should have been absolutely silent and unaffected as a spectator, since there was nothing he could do but look at the battle through these ‘lenses’. Yet, at that moment, his body started to move involuntarily and Xiao Lin could somehow feel a suction coming from the center of the explosion.

The miniature blackhole!

Remembering the miniature blackhole the man had unleashed during the last moments, Xiao Lin could not help but get anxious. Was that blackhole’s suction even capable of piercing through time and space, directly affecting Xiao Lin.

That was not funny.

Xiao Lin just wanted to look at the truth of history; he did not plan on burying himself within it. It was a pity that Bell did not tell him how to get out of this illusory world before he entered, so he could only wait for the recording to end before being able to go back.

After an uncertain amount of time, the intensity of the light got a lot weaker. Opening his eyes, the surroundings had already turned into a barren wasteland. No matter if they were insects, animals, plants or trees, they had all been turned to ashes from that clash. Xiao Lin was not affected by that impact at all, but the suction from the blackhole got stronger and stronger, and Xiao Lin’s heart was a lot more frantic as he looked at it.

Suddenly, the world surrounding Xiao Lin fell into a pitch-black darkness, and Xiao Lin could not even see his own body, but he could feel his body constantly twisting and distorting. Other than his consciousness still being intact, he could not even open his mouth.

After a few seconds, a few words came from the darkness, and he could tell that it was Ivanovich and Song.

“The collision between a meteor and a blackhole… I can’t believe it even distorted time and space. It’s really an unbelievable power. Thankfully, you managed to protect Earth. If you didn’t manage to block my meteor earlier, I would have hated you to death.”

“Ah, are you not willing to give up, even at the end?”

“The path I have chosen… I will complete it even if I have to die.”

“You’re still the same person. I could feel someone observing our fight near the Tungus River. Even if you can escape from this distorted space — even if it’s you — you won’t be able to defeat those people with the strength you have left. I will help you open another spatial pathway, but as for where it ends up, whether it’s a different dimension or a different universe, it will depend on your luck. Ivan, that’s the last thing I can do for you. So take care.”

“I’ll leave this Shard of Creation to you. it might help you. Song, I’m sorry, this is the last time I’ll apologize to you. You… Take care as well!”

The voices in the darkness got softer and softer until the surroundings were once again plunged into silence. A hole suddenly appeared in the darkness; it was a passage that barely seemed to exist. Xiao Lin could vaguely make out a blood-red color at the end of the passage. It was a world filled with red, and it was a world he was familiar with.

The answer was simple… At the end of the spatial passage was the Final Lands!

Before he could even be shocked, the passage closed in a flash, but Ivan had already gone through the passage. After a while, a sigh could be heard in the darkness before the voice mumbled to itself, “This is the legendary Shard of Creation? It really is something amazing. It can actually let me live on in this space where my flesh and blood is constantly being distorted… But what use is that?”

A star-like glow could be seen in the darkness; it was the light from a Shard of Creation, and Xiao Lin once again felt a familiar response in his mind. At the moment, he was still somewhere where he could not control anything. He tried waiting… He tried waiting for the recording to disappear so he could escape.

Yet, the wait seemed much longer than he anticipated. At some point, he did not even know how much time had passed. An hour? A day? A month? Or was it a year?

In that world, where even his body had been distorted, Xiao Lin could not do anything other than think. Finally, at some point, he felt like he had to do something instead of waiting for death like that. Even though his senses and movements had been distorted, other than thinking, he actually had something else he could use.

Heaven’s Eye!

During that unknown period of time, the exhausted Heaven’s Eye had already recovered its energy.

With the eye open, the Eye of Truth started to clear up the darkness in front of him. Even though his sight was still blurred, he could still somewhat make out the person that was floating not far away from him. Even if it was just a guest, that man should definitely be that Song person.

Time Rewind!

The next second, Xiao Lin did not hesitate to activate the second ability of his Heaven’s Eye!
