Chapter 223: The End of Science Is Theology

Wei Huo felt his spirit. At the same time, there was a question in Wei Huo’s mind. He said, “You created everything the first time you woke up. The second time you woke up, you destroyed everything. Is this your scientific experiment?”

The only thing that could make a scientist so persistent was probably a scientific experiment. Hypotheses, experiments, and theories would eventually lead to the truth. This applied to both science and cultivation.

“That’s right!” Zero slapped Wei Huo. Zero’s body was huge, and his palm was like a human palm hitting an ant.

However, Wei Huo threw a punch in return. The fist and palm collided, producing a 10th-tier strong wind. The ground cracked layer by layer, and countless buildings were shattered by the shock wave. This small world was already tough, but at that moment, spatial ripples also appeared.

The scene was very shocking. It was as if a human had used his palm to meet an ant’s fist and then a 10th-tier strong wind had been produced.

Zero took a step back, clenched his fist, and threw another punch at Wei Huo. He shouted, “Scientific Punch!”

It was a punch imbued with Zero’s scientific spirit that was comparable to Wei Huo’s previous attack.

In ancient times, boxing apprentices used to hit wooden stakes, but their master would shake his head and say that their fists were weak. They looked fierce, but they could not hurt anyone.

The apprentices would get confused. The master would explain that although they used their physical strength, they did not use their mental strength. This kind of punch was useless no matter how many times it was used. Although their strength was great, it could not generate any force. If they hit someone 100 times, they would at most beat them until their face was swollen. However, if someone combined their mental and physical strength into a punch, they could take the enemy’s life.

That was why some techniques were called fist techniques, while others were called sword techniques.

Although the name of the ‘Scientific Punch’ was not very impressive, it contained the spirit Zero had always implemented: the spirit of science. That was why this punch was extremely powerful.

Wei Huo threw a punch back. His punch was filled with the power of nirvanic extermination. Wei Huo entered that state of mind again. Everything would come to an end with nirvana. An aura of nirvanic extermination suddenly appeared on his fist.

The two fists collided and created another storm. Apart from sound waves and shock waves, there was also a spiritual wave.

The golden armor watched the battle from the side and immediately used its domain. The old robot also activated its imposing aura and dodged the spiritual storm. Even if an ordinary person dodged the sound waves and shock waves, they would not be able to avoid the spiritual waves.

This was a Legendary-level battle. Normal people were not even qualified to watch it.

The ground caved in due to the collision. Two-thirds of Mechanical City had been destroyed by them, but there was still no clear winner.

Zero’s body trembled. He clenched his fists and shouted, “I represent the truth!”

A moment later, Zero’s body emitted light. It was the light of truth. He believed that he was walking down the path of truth, so he was augmented by the power of truth.

It was just like people who believed in Buddha and were blessed by the Dharma. Those who kept chanting the Golden Light Incantation would be possessed by the Golden Light. This was the power of the spirit. It was not like Buddha or God gave one power. This power was actually the power in the depths of one’s heart. It was the power of the spirit.

Zero’s domain operation inspired Wei Huo, who shouted, “Nirvana Body!”

Endless aura of nirvanic extermination shrouded Wei Huo’s body. His entire body emitted a black aura, causing Wei Huo’s body to emit an aura of death. It was an aura that smelled of decay. If one used their spiritual senses, one would feel like they were looking at an abyss.

The addition of the domain power on their bodies caused their destructive power, speed, and strength to increase by another level. They then started fighting again.

Shockwaves, sound waves, and spiritual waves were constantly emitted. Surrounding buildings were destroyed non stop, and the energy tower suddenly shattered. The shockwaves produced by the battle between the two of them were too strong. They directly shattered the energy tower. A moment later, the energy tower exploded.

At the same time, Wei Huo and Zero shouted, “Lightning!”

One of them used a skill, while the other used the power of science. They summoned lightning at the same time and wrapped it around their bodies. The lightning was like a snake. Its head and tail were connected to form a coil.

“Electromagnetic Induction!”

The two of them shouted again and used electromagnetic force to increase their combat power.

They were locked in battle once again. This time, other than sound waves, shock waves, and spiritual waves, there were also electromagnetic waves being emitted. The weak electromagnetic waves were not scary, but the destructive power of the strong electromagnetic waves was no weaker than that of a bomb’s shock wave.

The World’s Unsolved Mysteries once described a weird island where countless animals lived. However, once someone went to that island, they would die mysteriously. Their body would not suffer any damage, but they would lose their lives as if their souls had been extracted.

In the end, the scientists had discovered that the magnetic field on the island was chaotic. There were magnetic traps everywhere that were constantly moving. Once one was touched, one would die instantly. The animals were sensitive and had the ability to identify the magnetic field. They could thus avoid the magnetic traps.

The golden armor and the old robot had retreated hundreds of meters away. The short-haired girl had also left the battlefield and was watching from afar.

The golden armor sighed. “This city is completely destroyed. The aftershocks of the battle of these two Legendary-level creatures have wiped out everything.”

Moments later, the golden armor took out a few more portable hard disks and said, “Fortunately, I had the foresight to protect all this knowledge. It won’t be long before these things become my strength. Then, I will become a powerful scientist!”

The reason science was so fascinating was that even an ordinary person could invent extremely powerful weapons as long as they understood the principles of science. A scientist like Einstein might be weak, but the weapons developed based on his theories were enough to destroy the Earth.

That was the terror of scientists. They could turn knowledge into power. Others could kill with their fists, but they could kill with their brains.

The battle between Wei Huo and Zero did not last long. In just a few seconds, they each stood on one side to catch their breath. Wei Huo had expended a lot of Nirvana Qi during the battle, and Zero had also lost a lot of Truth Force. They needed to prepare again to regroup.

People often said that a good friend could prevent one from regressing, but a good opponent could make one constantly improve.

Wei Huo had benefited greatly from this battle. It had given him a lot of inspiration and made him even more determined.

Zero said, “You’re a good opponent. You have a strong learning ability. If you become a scientist, your progress will be very fast!”

Wei Huo could not help but ask, “What kind of experiment are you conducting?”

A scientist would not create or kill for no reason. They would only do so for one purpose, and that was to experiment.

This was what scientists were like. In order to know the truth, they could sacrifice everything. They did not care about fame or wealth. Some manic scientists did not even care about morals or laws. They were obsessed with the truth to the extreme. Their desire for knowledge replaced everything. They did not love beauties. Instead, they loved physics.

Zero did not hide anything from Wei Huo. He told him the purpose of this creation and destruction. “I want to know if there are reincarnations in this world. Is there One True God in this world?”

The end of science was theology. As a great scientist, Zero could not avoid walking down this path, like many other great scientists had.
