By the time Lin Xiaowei arrived, the area within fifty kilometers of the Eternal Burning Great Rift Valley had already been covered by the massive "Absolute Lysis Field."
This prevented the use of all magical power within the field's range.
Only this could stop those "sources of contamination" from continuing to spread outward.
As for why Lin Xiaowei was here...
Perhaps it was because of the Particle Accelerator weapon, the "Death Ray Array," that she had let slip about before... That weapon could effectively damage the sickly green "Filth Light" that had appeared earlier.
However, because the device was far too large, Lin Xiaowei had not brought it with her.
And for the sake of secrecy, she had left the device in the Han Plane for experimental modifications.
Following the promotion of the World's First Martial Arts Tournament, more and more mages had become interested in fundamental sciences. With Lin Xiaowei secretly guiding them, as well as the mages' natural thirst for knowledge and formidable research spirit, quite a few mages in the Association had already attained university-level proficiency in physics and chemistry.
All kinds of equipment with distinctly mage-like characteristics had also been created.
Now,
Lin Xiaowei's laboratory in the Han Plane resembled a massive exhibition of steampunk machinery and was even showing signs of developing toward "cyberpunk."
More and more mages had begun attempting to combine mage psionic technology with modern Earth technology.
And then...
Many bizarre creations had emerged.
For example, a magical Gatling gun—it could alternately fire bullets or magic missiles.
A true dual physical-and-magical attack! It was badass as hell! The Golem Legion, a subordinate group of the Association's Transformation Alchemy School, had already submitted an application to Lin Xiaowei and reached a long-term supply agreement with her.
They wanted to mount modified Gatling guns
