Chapter 22: A Crack in the Heavens

Li Jie had become more and more aware of the particle fluctuations of the Glow Scepter, like a kind call from the deepest part of his soul, resonating with himself beyond imagination.

In the constant convergence and vibration, he suddenly felt inexplicably intimate and familiar with this strange structure that he had never come into contact with, just like his innate arms or limbs, and naturally understood the method of control.

His closed eyes suddenly opened.

The endless glow particles seemed to happily respond to the fluctuations of his soul origin, and in a thousandth of a second, they completely shrunk and converged into a small long-edged countless faces less than twenty centimeters in length, slowly rotating in front of Li Jie in a spiral, and reexposing him and the High Priest Moya to the outside world.

On the other hand, in Moya's soul sense, the faint connection that had been established with the Glow Scepter receded like a tide, until the strange thing no longer responded to its own call.

His face suddenly lost blood, and when he saw the extremely well-behaved scepter suspended in front of Li Jie, his whole heart fell coldly, and he turned around and fled into the distance without saying a word.

Li Jie smiled, and in the turn of his consciousness, the shrunken glow scepter immediately merged into his body, and he himself crossed the space at an extremely fast speed and went straight to the direction of Moya, who was flying wildly.

There was already a gap in the speed of the two, not to mention that Li Jie, who had regained control of the glow scepter, had already recovered to his full state in an instant, but Mo Ya was bold, and within ten kilometers of chasing and escaping, Li Jie's palm had touched Mo Ya's back silently, and his palm was slightly vomited.

Brilliant golden flames erupted. All of them were accepted by the high priest Mo Ya with a miserable expression, and the azure soul origin light vibrated wildly like a candle in the wind, and the whole person completely lost control of his body. Again he let out a muffled snort and accelerated the fall.

Li Jie's movements were faster, crossing the sky in a cloud-like posture, flashing to the other end blocking Moya who was tumbling and rolling, and the terrifying plasma flame bombarded his chest in an even more arrogant manner, so that the once majestic high priest no longer had half an image to speak of, and the originally bright blue light flame was even fainter like a shadow, and could be wiped out at any time.

"Leave me alone! …… I want to serve you as my master! …… I know a lot of secrets. Definitely helpful in researching the Glow Scepter! ”

Feeling that Li Jie was extremely firm and extremely murderous, and even the biggest reliance was taken away, Mo Ya completely fell into despair and panic. Crazy to transmit messages with consciousness, trying to persuade him to stop for various reasons, no longer has the majesty of half a minute.

But it was all in vain, and Li Jie's figure reappeared below Moya. The golden pupils exuded a terrifying aura. His hands pierced through his tempered body and even the blue soul origin with a resolute attitude, and the plasma storm containing terrifying energy and high temperature completely engulfed the other party.

A huge golden flame across the sky, which occupied a radius of several miles, reached a height of 10,000 meters, which was extremely conspicuous in this night, shocking countless eyeballs and producing an unexpected effect.

Countless high-energy particles that pierced the night sky with extremely rapid sprays hit the atmosphere at an altitude of 10,000 meters, constantly exciteting red, green and blue light from oxygen and nitrogen, as if covering the entire sky with a magnificent light veil of light and shadow. This brilliance, which is beyond the limits of human imagination, has made the entire Great Muqair and even the people of the capital Baghdad see an unprecedented wonderland.

It is a moving light curtain created by a solar storm that hits the atmosphere under the interference of a magnetic field and combines with oxygen atoms. The first appearance in a low-magnetic latitude region like Iraq gave people in this land of the two river basins a sight that they should never have had the chance to see again in their lives - the Aurora.

With the support of the Glow Scepter, Li Jie finally unleashed an unprecedented terrifying attack, and the stream of high-energy particles that occupied the entire sky continuously squeezed the magnetosphere of the nearby area, like a breeze blowing through the sky, bringing a magnificent light curtain that danced slowly in a larger area.

Not only that, but the ensuing deep implications are even more frightening. Under the disturbance of this violent stream of higher charged particles, the transmission line currents, radio wave propagation, television signals and telephone signals were affected within a radius of hundreds of kilometers throughout the Greater Baghdad area......

Patches of areas were plunged into darkness, telephones and televisions could not receive any signals at all, as if they had fallen back into a primitive society, and no modern technology could play a role, and sirens and cries sounded everywhere.

Yet more people came out of their dwellings and bowed down before the magnificent dome of the sky, muttering and praying in a series of voices, while others shouted: "Chasms"!

Meanwhile. United States, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Researcher Kevin? Feige is holding a coffee cup and talking to his girlfriend on the phone, and the night shift is nothing more than recording and recording data, observing and observing if there is any abnormality, maybe he may not be able to meet once or twice a year, it is simply boring.

Didn't see his partner, good colleague and best friend Paul? Vandel is wearing headphones and holding a controller to fight his beloved video game, the latest version of the popular game "Sword and Warrior" from Yunbi, where the dead house can sit and play until dawn, but have the audacity to throw all the work of recording and observing to himself.

"That's right, the damn octopus is playing his shitty game again...... I said dear...... Where are we going on the weekend......" Kevin was talking about the excitement, not paying any attention to the data and fluctuations on the computer screen, dancing and trying to enhance the tone of his voice and amuse his sweetheart with his movements. , ignoring the fact that the other party can't see it. "Voice? What sound do you say you hear? Oh...... It doesn't matter, it's just the activity of the polar-orbiting environmental satellite that detected the aurora...... Yes, my dear, it's the same as what we saw last time in Alaska, it's just as beautiful as you are in my heart......"

Kevin habitually fiddled with his hand on the keyboard a few times, typed a few sets of instructions, and still spat sweet words in his mouth, then stared at the data displayed on the screen, and unconsciously picked up his coffee cup - taking a big sip.

"Poof!!!

The hot coffee juice burst out like a goddess scattering flowers.

"Ahem, ahem...... Damn it...... Oh, I didn't mean you...... Ahem. Honey, I said this coffee...... God, you don't believe what I'm seeing! ”

Kevin scrambles to clean up the table that has been messed up by squirting coffee. Fortunately, there was no short circuit, but he no longer had the same courtesy and sweetness as before, hurriedly sent away his coquettish and dissatisfied girlfriend with a few words, and then slapped the neck of the old friend who was addicted to the game with headphones behind him.

“Fuck! I almost got through it! Bastard! ”

Paul, who was interrupted from the game, shook his fat head, looked at the huge bright red words "Gameover" in front of him, his eyes were red and almost wanted to kill, and he fell off the handle full of anger and was about to trouble Kevin. was attracted by his shouting.

"Paul, hurry up! Come and see, O God! It is not aurora activity detected by polar-orbiting environmental satellites. It's a synchronous environmental satellite! It's incredible! ”

The two technads stared at the screen without blinking, and their mouths grew up, as if they had been completely frozen by magic.

Many people yearn for the legendary aurora borealis, which can bring endless illusions. Norse mythology says that it was the light reflected in the armor of the Valkyries as they sailed through the sky. In oriental legends, it represents the candle dragon of the northern country that illuminates the polar region and controls the wind and snow...... But in fact, only a handful of people can actually witness this spectacular celestial phenomenon with their own eyes.

The reason for the formation of auroras on Earth is because of solar storms.

A solar storm mixed with magnetic fields and currents ejects from the inside of the sun, and these countless rarefied high-temperature charged particles blow across the earth at a speed of 1.6 million kilometers per hour. But even then, the solar wind moves along the geomagnetic field to regions of high magnetic latitudes that are weakly protected – usually the north and south poles – into the Earth, excitation (or ionization) of molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere. Produce a variety of mysterious luminous phenomena.

This is where the name aurora comes from.

That is, want to see the Northern Lights. First of all, it must be at a high enough magnetic latitude, and there must be a strong enough solar storm. Generally speaking, NOAA can detect the auroras by polar-orbiting environmental satellites orbiting along the north and south poles, while geostationary environmental satellites move in a circular motion around the center of the earth and are the farthest away from the high magnetic latitude polar regions, that is, above the equator!

That's undoubtedly the lowest magnetic latitude on the entire planet!

"I'll do the math...... It is near Baghdad in Iraq...... My God! The magnetic latitude there is less than 20 degrees! ”

Kevin's jaw is on the floor!

Solar storms can affect and damage the planet far more than the average person thinks, affecting communications, threatening satellites, and destroying the ozone layer. The largest recorded electromagnetic storm event was the "super geomagnetic storm" of 1859, which even made the Aurora visible to people in the Caribbean (about 20 degrees north latitude, about 30 degrees north latitude).

This time, in an area like Baghdad with a magnetic latitude within 20 degrees, is a solar storm going to destroy the earth!?

Two researchers who have fallen into a state of dementia begin to frantically raise the alarm to their superiors!

At the same time, countless satellites from various institutions around the world, such as the Space Administration and the Space Weather Prediction Center, slowly rotated, aiming at the long-fought land of Iraq.

And the initiator of all this has not yet had time to pay attention to the High Priest Moya, who has been completely erased from the world, nor has he had time to pay attention to the flowing aurora canopy above his head caused by his full blow under the amplification of the Radiant Scepter.

In fact, of course, his power is far less powerful than that of a solar storm, but the impact of this storm of high-energy charged particles that erupts directly from the earth is more intuitive than that of the Buddha-figure who travels hundreds of millions of kilometers and breaks through the geomagnetic field.

But after all, it's just a blow, and it will fade quickly.

And now Li Jie is more concerned about the information obtained from the glow scepter, the high priest of the blackhead clan, Mo Ya, definitely did not expect that because of the limitation of energy intensity, he could not open the control of the scepter for thousands of years, but finally gave Li Jie a chance. His understanding and depth of the soul origin is certainly not comparable to Mo Ya, not only can he understand the meaning of the information contained in the glow particles more quickly, but also the control and use of the soul origin is also better than the other party, and there is no suspense in winning this battle.

But this did not mean that Li Jie had completely controlled the Glow Scepter, because the information contained in the countless strange glow particles was too large, and he could not fully digest it for a while, but he already knew that the complete Glow Scepter was composed of five parts, four pillars that were the same as the one in his hand, and a more mysterious body.

And from the moment he and Mo Ya worked together to activate the glow scepter part in their hands, the other four parts were all naturally activated, and I am afraid that it had caused amazing visions in other parts of the earth.

Li Jie clearly sensed through the scepter part in his hand that the closest reaction area to him was actually dozens of kilometers away within reach.

When he flew across the sky and flew quickly, he had already understood it completely.

It's all back here - Muguail, the city of your.

The first city of the Sumerians, the first city in the world, the birthplace of Abraham, the ancestor of the Hebrews.

An unimaginable ring of glow, whose form no words can describe, was rising from the ground, completely ignoring the thick layer of earth, as if it had existed since ancient times, without making any sound, and just naturally expanding and rising in front of Li Jie.

The aura of countless glow particles was more magnificent than the scepter in his hand, and almost the entire sky was reflected as if it were day.

Hearing shouts from near and far nearby, Li Jie knew that more and more people had noticed that he had to speed up his movements, and he immediately tried to communicate with the ring in front of him through the information obtained from the scepter part in his hand.

Moments later, the results came, and the attempt to make contact failed!

This made him a little stunned, and even completely unexpected.

However, after many attempts, Li Jie finally had to face this reality and gave up communication. However, of course, he would not give up easily, and tried to blend directly into the interior of this glow ring as he had done before.

However, the moment his body approached, the glow ring that was constantly expanding outward seemed to be stimulated, and the surface immediately vibrated with an unimaginable energy storm, causing his plasma flame to be shocked to the ground, and the whole person was quickly knocked out of a few hundred meters away in a muffled snort.

Li Jie was shocked to find that it was completely different from the scepter part in his hand before, the expansion of this glow ring seemed to be endless, and in the blink of an eye, it had risen to a height of nearly a thousand meters, and at the same time, the space occupied was already several kilometers in radius, and as long as he tried to get close to the edge, a powerful energy storm vibrated up, forcing him to keep retreating.
