An Attack That Stripped Away Physical Properties

Sicily flew fast, but someone was even faster.

As she descended, someone already seemed to be standing before the bottomless pit in this remote suburb, studying it intently with a grave, troubled expression.

"[Evolution's Profound Meaning] Antonio!"

Sicily's voice was deep.

But she did not retreat. She landed beside the enormous pit, less than five meters in diameter yet seemingly bottomless, and stared at this pioneer of the Grand Duchy.

"Master, if this academic conference is a conspiracy by the Grand Duchy, then now would be the best chance to kill me."

Antonio ignored Sicily and continued to gaze into the pit, his expression grave.

Before long, someone flew up from the bottom. It was none other than [War King] Fladick.

After glancing at Sicily, he turned his attention to Antonio.

"It's three hundred and twelve meters deep. There's no trace of energy or unidentified matter at the bottom. Along the trajectory, the soil shows no change in temperature and forms an absolutely smooth passage all the way down."

With that, Fladick opened his hand.

In it was an earthworm cut in two, yet still writhing with life!

His face was so gloomy it seemed ready to drip, and his eyes were filled with deep shock.

"This kind of offensive power almost violates the law of conservation. The soil clearly wasn't melted by high-temperature energy, nor transferred away by Space-Time Force. It couldn't have vanished into thin air, either. I can't even begin to imagine the principles behind this attack. For the Grand Duchy's Academic World at its current stage, it would be no exaggeration to call it a miracle."

"There is absolutely no mysterious power in this world that true science cannot explain!"

Sicily spoke with unwavering conviction.

As Antonio and Fladick stared at her, Sicily's voice grew low.
