When that white light struck “Rainbow Fountain,” or when Sui Xiong bombed the outer wall of the holy kingdom, there wasn’t much noise at the very beginning.

But the wall that was surrounded with holy power of Rainbow Fountain was broken through layer-by-layer, just like butter against a hot metal drill. There didn’t seem to be any withstanding power.

“How… How is this possible?!” The God of Spellcasters who saw that scene was suddenly stunned. His mind almost stopped working.

Oh; His mind stopped because the white light that was almost blue broke through the wall of the holy kingdom and hit Him.

The God’s strong body was shot through like a piece of tofu. Even though He could resurrect within the holy kingdom itself, the God of Spellcasters was actually in a state of stagnation.

When His thoughts resumed, the entire Rainbow Fountain had changed.

A huge opening had broken through the entire outer wall that was protecting the holy kingdom, and even almost penetrated the opposite side of the holy kingdom’s wall. There were thousands of layers of defense magic destroyed by it along the way. Besides that, maybe due to its decrease in speed, its penetration power dropped, but the spreading of power was constantly increasing.

The diameter of the pathway that went through the entire holy kingdom was constantly expanding.

When it first got in contact with the Holy Kingdom, it was almost the width of a mountain; then it slowly increased until it went through the holy kingdom. It had already become a huge pond, the kind that was big enough for giant dragons to rest and propagate.

If it were to go through the entire holy kingdom, maybe the damage would stop there. Although everything along the way was destroyed, although a legendary amount of believers and oracles died, although the entire holy kingdom was damaged quite seriously… All in all, it was still acceptable.

However, just as it almost went through the entire holy kingdom, it suddenly exploded without warning.

The explosion contained a terrifying power. It first released strong light and heat and melted everything that couldn’t endure. Then, it was followed by a strong shockwave. It almost ravaged half of the holy kingdom, and the shockwave dispersed to the upper and surrounding directions. It carried countless broken and melted pieces, soared up and knocked onto the outer wall of holy kingdom. Then, it started to disperse again.

The power of the explosion, along with the heat and shockwave, made all living things feel in danger.

The power was shapeless and massless but contained extremely strong power. Even various Gods were stepping back unconsciously and tried to stay away. Gods, such as the God of Arts and Culture who was originally timid even ran from the holy kingdom, at least two to three small worlds’ distance at a time.

No doubt, He was the wisest. Because a few moments after, many oracles were swept off by the shapeless power. They were then shivering and giving out terrifying bellows as their bodies changed.

The changes were irregular. Some sped up in aging, some enlarged quickly, some had countless ugly fibroids that grew on them, some were ulcerated all over and full of pus.

They screamed and tried to heal themselves using magic. Much powerful healing magic was cast, mainly by those legendary or semi-God experts. Every one of them contained enormous vigor that could recover hundreds or thousands of people. However, it didn’t help with their situation, but on the contrary, increased the speed of their mutation.

Under such circumstances, the Master of Mysteries finally took action.

He reallocated holy power and transformed it into rain, showering the entire holy kingdom.

The holy power wasn’t the power of life but an extremely strong power of order.

With a glance, it could be said that the rain was large-scale magic, a “curse removal.” But its scale was to an extent that it was so terrifyingly powerful, it could simply be called “The Rain of Order.”

With such powerful magic, only the great Master of Mysteries Himself could resolve such scary mutations, right?

Almost everyone guessed so.

But they were disappointed.

Under the shower of the rain of order, the mutations that happened on the body of many believers and oracles were suppressed, but it didn’t seem to make them better.

The Master of Mysteries took action and that was the only effect He achieved. That made everyone worried. In that instance, the entire holy kingdom was engulfed in the dark clouds of uneasiness. The God of Arts and Culture that originally ran out couldn’t help but run even further.

What kind of power was this?!

If it was damage, supplementing the power of life should have been able to heal it.

If it was a curse, the power of order should have been able to wash it off.

The God of Spellcasters extended His hands and seized hold of a human form that had turned into a lump of fibroids. He grabbed the oracle before him and looked at it carefully.

After a while, He shook His head in regret. He said, “It looked like a curse, but it is vastly different.”

“Their body structures have been changed,” the God of Order said. “The treatment was useless because the ‘change’ was not a kind of damage. Curse removal could help those who were further, with only part of their body mutated, to stop reacting. But it wouldn’t make the changes disappear. It wasn’t any negative power as there weren’t any wicked factors; it wasn’t even completely chaotic, there was a certain kind of order within…”

“Your Majesty, what should we do?” the God of Spellcasters asked. “Do we counterattack?”

The Master of Mysteries remained silent for a while and shook His head.

“Another attack like the previous one; would you be able to withstand it?”

The God of Spellcasters shook his head.

The holy power-instilled wall surrounding the Rainbow Fountain almost covered all kinds of protection measure He knew about; its toughness was beyond his reach. Even the holy power-instilled wall made by Master of Mysteries couldn’t be effective; even the defense system within the holy kingdom couldn’t succeed in protection. He really didn’t know what other methods could resist such a hit.

Maybe… The God of Order, who was above all Gods, would have a way, right?

Or maybe…. even the God of Order had no way…

The Master of Mysteries said, “I have no way to resist either. So, until I figure out a way to resist it, until I can eliminate the effect of the weird power, I will not launch an attack again.”

On its colorful face, it showed a hint of exhaustion.

“This time, my holy kingdom has received an enormous damage. To mend the damage, it will require a lot of my time and effort. Before completion of the project, no one launch attacks.”

He turned around and looked far away, looked through a vast distance, at the main dimension.

“Maybe… We should consider changing our trail of thought…”

The Rainbow Fountain was attacked, and the holy kingdom was severely damaged. Many believers and oracles were mutated… such news travelled and spread very quickly among the Gods.

Many Gods were shocked yet curious. They wondered what measure Void Mask had taken but they failed to figure out in the end.

It was uncertain which God it was, but He was strong enough to obtain the scene where the Rainbow Fountain was attacked. That scene was quickly spread among Gods. Simultaneously, there were more than a hundred Gods that activated their minds in order to retrieve any possible information in the deepest part of their memories. They tried to correspond the information with that scene to discover the mystery behind the earth-shattering hit by Void Mask.

If they were to master such a powerful skill, they would immediately possess the qualification to be on an equal footing as any other powerful God.

Meanwhile, Sui Xiong heard the news from the Steel Lion Morani.

“Such terrifying power!” Morani complemented, looking at the scene where the sky changed magically.

Although He was a kind God, He was also a warrior. Witnessing such powerful strength, He naturally let out an admiration.

“That’s scary!” Lewre pouted and asked anxiously, “This causes a huge burden to you too, right?”

Sui Xiong fixed his gaze upon the unclear image and replayed it again and again. In the end, he laughed and shook his head.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?” Wor asked.

“I don’t see any mushroom cloud; it seemed a little incomplete,” Sui Xiong said.

“Mushroom cloud? What is that?” Morani asked curiously.

“Nothing, I thought I would be able to plant a big mushroom this time…” Sui Xiong laughed and purposely pretended to be calm. But watching the way he raised his eyebrows and the excitement that he was showing while clapping his tentacles together, one could tell that he was very excited at the moment. He was simply carried away by his success.

“Actually, I didn’t pull this off properly.” After he wa smug with success, he started to self-criticize. “The control of timing to eliminate the outer layer wasn’t done well. Otherwise, the explosion would have happened right in the middle of Rainbow Fountain. That’s weird! I calculated a suitable time according to the speed, why would it be wrong? It was slightly late… Could it be I got basic division wrong?”

He shook his head in distress. He pondered and still couldn’t figure out what happened exactly.

“If I were to say the time was insufficient, it was actually quite sufficient. When breaking through the holy power-instilled wall and calculating of the size of Rainbow Fountain and core position, I used very little time. Then, I set for the attack to slow down some time after it eliminated the outer layer and before it got to the core location. So that the explosion would have happened right in the middle of the holy kingdom… I remember I kept enough lead!

“But… Why would it only explode when it almost dashed out the holy kingdom?

“Was it like Bro Sha said, that my math teacher died too early?

“That’s not right!”

Actually, it wasn’t about math. It was a simple speed calculation; of course, Sui Xiong wouldn’t be wrong.

But… his physics were quite bad. He ignored very common knowledge that was used even in science fiction novels…

Regrettably, there wasn’t any physician in this world that could reveal such magical sight. His suspicion had to sustain for a very long time.

A few days later, the award ceremony that had been delayed was carried out before everyone’s eyes again.
