Chapter 1150 Lifting Up This Fortress
"Warning! The 'Star of Bethlehem' is falling!" Sasha ran out to warn Touma Kamijou and Lin Wuming.

Because one corner of the "Star of Bethlehem" was destroyed in the battle just now; although the Right Fire repaired it immediately, this temporary repair could not save its damaged levitation function.

Those who were completely absorbed in the battle were unaware of the danger, but Sasha Chloezef keenly sensed the impending crisis.

Of course, it could also be argued that Sasha Chloejef was the only one among the group who was worried about falling to her death, which is why she was particularly sensitive to this situation.

“Don’t worry,” said Touma Kamijou, another person who might have died from a fall from a great height, but he remained remarkably calm. “Didn’t we find something like a lifeboat while exploring this floating fortress? That should be useful for escaping.”

“No, the lifeboats were all destroyed in the accident just now!” Sasha’s face turned pale.

The section that was just destroyed and rebuilt, the area below which was where the lifeboats and the key levitation magic array were stored, is now completely destroyed.

It was precisely because Sasha realized the seriousness of the problem that she rushed out in such a hurry.

"So unlucky?" Touma Kamijou muttered, but he was used to this level of misfortune, so he remained unmoved. "It's okay, Mumei is here, nothing will happen."

Touma Kamijou remained calm, after all, he had a Level 5 "all-around esper" by his side, so what was there to worry about?
"Lin Wuming... Lord?"

Kamijou Touma stepped aside to introduce the man behind him to her. Sasha could no longer ignore Lin Wuming and could only greet him with a tense face.

"Thinking about it carefully, it's really true!" Touma Kamijou clapped his hands suddenly. "I was worried that if such a huge flying fortress crashed, it might hit the cities and towns below, and it might affect the surface ecology... But as long as Mumei takes action, none of these problems will exist, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wuming couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression: "Kamijo, aren't you... overestimating me?"

"Huh? You can't do it? Use your Nen ability to lift up this 'Star of Bethlehem' or something?" Kamijou Touma asked in surprise.

"Do you even know what you're saying?" Lin Wuming smiled bitterly.

"Idiot," Sasha couldn't help but complain, "hint, you should know how big this place is when we were exploring. How could one person possibly lift it up?"

“You haven’t witnessed the power of the Nameless One,” Kamijou Touma retorted. “The Nameless One has controlled a colossal giant statue!”

Then, Touma Kamijou looked at Lin Wuming again: "So you really can't do it, Wuming?"

Normal humans lack intuitive understanding of sizes exceeding 100 meters. Although Touma Kamijou knew that the "Star of Bethlehem" was very large, it seemed less visually impactful than a colossus exceeding 100 meters.

Therefore, in Touma Kamijou's view, Lin Wuming, who can manipulate a hundred-meter-long colossus to fight, can definitely use his telekinesis to lift the "Star of Bethlehem," at least ensuring its safe landing.

Lin Wuming pondered for a moment regarding Touma Kamijou's wishful thinking.

Just as Sasha was becoming increasingly anxious, Lin Wuming nodded: "Perhaps we can give it a try."

"Huh? Try what? What are you going to do?" Sasha exclaimed in surprise.

Touma Kamijou was also taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Nameless, you really can..."

"How will I know if I don't try?" Lin Wuming said. "I feel like I'm in great shape today, maybe I can challenge my limits." Moreover, Kamijou Touma's words also gave Lin Wuming inspiration, which might help him do something that was originally impossible.

Due to the limitations of human observation methods, Touma Kamijou was not very clear about the specific dimensions of the "Star of Bethlehem".

But Lin Wuming knew very well that when he was hovering in the air, he had seen the entire floating fortress.

It is even larger than expected. If there were more man-made buildings on it, it could definitely be called a "city".

The "Star of Bethlehem" is roughly in the shape of a cross, with a radius of tens of kilometers... To put it simply, it is twice the size of Academy City, which is roughly circular!
To think that a city could be supported by human power, even by a Level 5 superhuman, would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

If it were Accelerator at full power, perhaps he could do it, but for others...

However, Accelerator is now exhausted from his fierce battle with Archangel Gabriel, and no one knows where he is now.

Therefore, the only way to prevent the "Star of Bethlehem" from ending up like an "asteroid hitting Earth" is really to rely on Lin Wuming.

The right-hand fire can also do that—whether it's ensuring the safe landing of the "Star of Bethlehem" or simply destroying it, the power of the "Divine Right" makes it easy.

But now, the Right Flame has been completely defeated, and he is in a state of despair after his beliefs have been shattered. He lies on the ground motionless, as if he is about to fall along with the "Star of Bethlehem".

"Ask...a question, is that really possible?" Sasha was the most anxious person present, and finally couldn't help but ask cautiously, "This 'Star of Bethlehem' is really huge..."

And they're falling rapidly! They don't have much time left!

"Don't rush, let me think..." Lin Wuming said as he walked forward.

He was very fast, and in the end he even used "teleportation" – otherwise it would have been difficult to reach the center of the "Star of Bethlehem" so quickly.

Since the "Star of Bethlehem" was a creation pieced together using magical power, Lin Wuming was unable to accurately calculate its center of gravity.

So he followed his intuition and chose the intersection of the "cross" as the point of attack to unleash his Nen ability.

Strictly speaking, Lin Wuming's Nen ability is far from sufficient to support a city—this power has already exceeded the level of Level 5.

However, this "Star of Bethlehem" is different from a normal city or fortress; it is a product pieced together from hundreds of thousands or even millions of "fragments".

The right-hand fire draws symbolic elements from churches and holy sites around the world to build the skeleton of the city—from this perspective, the "Star of Bethlehem" is more like a whole composed of a large number of small parts.

It should be noted that for a long time before, Lin Wuming's greatest strength was using his Nen ability to process a massive number of tiny objects, making up for the quality with efficiency, and demonstrating the strength of a Level 5.

He has now truly become a Level 5 psychic, with his psychic power greatly enhanced; if he continues to use this method, he will be able to achieve even greater output on a macroscopic level.

To shake up a city... that shouldn't be impossible!
