Chapter 149: The Cosmic Explosion Unveiled!

Chapter 149: The Cosmic Explosion Unveiled!

As Harof immersed himself in the grandeur of the stars, a sudden change occurred. The massive, crimson star seemed to grow larger and brighter by the moment, affecting the orbits of planets. A strong sense of impending crisis flooded Harof's mind. Before he could react, the colossal star expanded to its limit and then rapidly collapsed inwards.

In the next moment, an endless burst of light bathed the entire universe. The star, now on its final journey, unleashed its ultimate radiance!

It was the spectacle of a supernova eruption. Planets that once orbited were instantly shattered, and powerful electromagnetic radiation illuminated the entire dark galaxy. Infinite matter spewed from the star's core, creating an incredibly vivid tapestry.

Harof was left speechless, unable to recover from the overwhelming sight. He murmured to himself, "What is this?"

A deep, elderly voice broke the silence in the now tranquil cosmic space. "This is a star's path to extinction."

Harof turned to see four figures in this space besides himself. The one who spoke had an unusual appearance, with disheveled white hair that resembled the chaotic expanse of the universe. An eerie pressure emanated from him, akin to facing a star, as if he were radiating boundless energy outward.

The speaker was none other than Lynn, but he had temporarily adopted the appearance of Albert Einstein. The previous supernova display had been a calculated show to establish the grand image of the Society of Mystical Arts.

Harof looked at Lynn, who appeared somewhat distracted, and wondered if the excitement had been a tad too much.

"A star's extinction?" Harof struggled to grasp the idea that such a colossal celestial body could meet its end.

"There's nothing surprising about it. Such events happen in the universe all the time. What you witnessed was merely a reenactment of a supernova explosion," Lynn explained.

For a moment, he even wondered if Lynn was telling a bizarre story about the universe.

After listening for a while, Harof realized that the structure of Lynn's narration was highly rigorous, although he couldn't understand most of the terminology. He could sense that it held some magical secrets.

Harof had always believed that his research into the laws governing celestial bodies was grand in scale, but he hadn't expected the legendary wizards of the Society of Mystical Arts to be exploring the origins of the universe.

"What is your basis? The redshift of galaxies?" The character in the form of Madame Curie timidly inquired, following someone's instructions, even though she had no idea what galaxy redshift meant.

Lynn shot a disapproving look at Madame Curie, encouraging her to speak more confidently. "That is indeed one of the pieces of evidence."

Following this, the AI-controlled figures provided a few more rehearsed statements. Then, the four figures in the room turned their attention to Harof, as if they were waiting for his valuable input.

Lynn was curious to see how the legendary wizards would react to the theory of the cosmic explosion. This theory had been prevalent in his previous world but might not hold the same status in this new world. After all, it hadn't taken magic into account and was likely flawed in some aspects. Still, as a magical theory, it was perfectly acceptable.

Harof appeared calm on the surface but was breaking into a cold sweat inside. He had no idea what Lynn was talking about. But this was a gathering of legendary wizards, and they were actively discussing the universe's truths. He couldn't suddenly say he didn't understand or didn't know, could he?

In a sudden realization, Harof opened his eyes wide and tugged at the sleeve of the languid witch, Ougust, who was sitting beside him. He urgently asked, "Ougust, please tell me, what does galaxy redshift mean?"

In that moment, he felt extremely fortunate to have Ougust, who shared his passion for celestial research, right by his side. At least he had someone to consult.
