Chapter 337: Impossible, My Three Laws of Fire Cannot Be Wrong!
Many shared Sanchez''s thoughts at that moment. They''d been watching the entire spectacle unfold, witnessing the unbelievable and outright paradoxical. It wasn''t surprising they began to doubt, wondering if this might be some powerful visual illusion.
After all, fire couldn''t possibly burn lightning, much less turn a water curtain into fuel...
"This is undoubtedly a form of me," Lynn stated without hesitation.
"So, does that mean hell really exists?" Raphael asked incredulously.
He immediately recalled the rumors within the wizarding world. This magical luminary controlled mes from the deepest pits of hell, capable of consuming and incinerating everything.
Raphael had previously scoffed at this notion, but now, he found himself teetering on the edge of belief because, other than hellfire, he couldn''t think of any other description.
"Hell is just a fabrication of the Holy Church. I never thought you''d buy into that," Lynn chuckled, pausing briefly before continuing.
"Of course, it''s not what you think. I call it the Eternal ze, a me crafted by magic!"
"But this isn''t magic at all! Itpletely vites my ''Three Laws of Fire,'' this type of me cannot exist!" one grand wizard couldn''t resist loudly objecting.Lynn looked strangely at him while Raphael hurriedly introduced the dissenter.
"This is Master Ad, with profound expertise in elemental studies!"
"Ah, the master who proposed the theory of fire elements?" Lynn suddenly realized. He had briefly encountered Ad at a previous gathering of grand wizards but hadn''t engaged in deep conversation.
"That''s me!" Ad nodded proudly. He had studied fire elements for decades, summarizing various characteristics andws concerning fire.
Among them was the Three Laws of Fire - temperature (the speed of elemental movement),bustibles, and sufficient oxygen... All fires couldn''t exist outside these elements...
Fire elements existed within everybustible, but they were smaller than regr elements, beyond the perception of wizards unless prompted by high temperatures and oxygen.
Ad enthusiastically exined his theory of fire elements to Lynn, a conclusion drawn from rigorous research and numerous experiments!
It was through this study that he triumphed in the debate two decades ago on what mes truly were, defeating the ''Combustion Theory'' and ''me Magic Theory,'' earning himself a Silver Moon Medal!
But Lynn''s summoned mes had entirely vited these threews!
For instance, burning in a vacuum vited the necessity of oxygen for fire''s existence.
Metals and sand weren''tbustible, yet they mysteriously caught fire. This had to be fake, surely a visual illusion!
Listening to Ad''s analysis and the so-called theory of fire elements, Lynn couldn''t help but feel amused.
This so-called Three Laws of Fire resembled the three essential elements ofbustion from his previous life.
However, reaching this level of understanding was already impressive. Discussions on the essence of fire had persisted for thousands of years in his previous world, only finding conclusions in recent times.
Lynn didn''t delve further, simply extending his hand. A zing me quickly ignited...
This was the Eternal ze!
The assembled wizards couldn''t help but feel a palpable unease but still drew closer, utterly fascinated by this fist-sized me.
Anthony appeared grave. He had just experienced firsthand the helplessness against this bizarre me. It seemed everything and anything was its delectable sustenance.
Ad attempted to personally verify its authenticity but was stopped by Lynn. If touched by this thing, there was no remedy but to strip the burnt flesh. Even if not fatally so, prolonged contact meant shedding skin — true or not, it was perilous!
Though he couldn''t truly touch it in the end, Ad keenly felt its immense heat.
At such proximity, he didn''t believe the other could conceal this from his magical senses. He promptly sliced off an iron railing and ced it over the Eternal ze.
The slender iron bar burst into mes before everyone''s eyes! It didn''t melt due to high temperatures but genuinely burned, mes spreading along its length... Undeterred, Ad conjured a sturdy stone with his Mage Hand.
Incredibly, even the stone caught fire!
Lastly, in the vacuum experiment, they witnessed an extraordinary sight - stones burning in a vacuum!
If something looks like fire, acts like fire, no matter how strange, undoubtedly, it''s fire!
"This is impossible! Stones cannot serve as fuel. This shouldn''t be right, and without oxygen, why can it still burn..." Ad muttered,pletely puzzled, almost teetering on the brink of madness.
Raphael and others looked at Ad with deep sympathy. They understood he had devoted most of his life to fire element studies, and suddenly finding his theories wrong was a devastating blow...
However, it was at this moment Lynn spoke up. "Actually, your Three Laws of Fire are quite urate."
Ad paused, a mixture of shock and confusion, wondering if he had misheard.
Before he could inquire, Lynn continued exining. "But I need to correct a few points, like oxygen indeed being a condition forpletebustion, but not a necessary one!"
"More urately, all that''s needed is an oxidizer!"
Upon hearing this, the audience furrowed their brows.
Complete condition versus necessary condition - these novel terms seemed somewhat alien to them, but they could barely grasp their meaning. However, this oxidizer was puzzling.
An oxidizer gains electrons in oxidation-reduction reactions, like trichlorofluoromethane, a strong oxidizer and fluorinating agent, directly substituting the role of oxygen. That''s why in a vacuum, it can ignite substances (fuel)!
But there were few elements capable of serving as oxidizers, and most werepounds...
Considering Raphael and others had limited knowledge, Lynn refrained from an extensive exnation. Otherwise, he''d have to start by exining what oxidation-reduction reactions were before delving into atomic structures...
After a moment''s contemtion, Lynn briefly summarized, "In simple terms, certain elements can rece oxygen as the ignition condition. Therefore, even in an oxygen-free environment,bustion can continue..."
