"No, I don't have any powers that allow me to move two people quickly."

The power derived from the Eastern God of War is mostly used in war. If he were alone, Kusanagi Godou would have been able to escape this desert before the "disc" hit the ground. However, he has two other people with him.

Seeing the two girls beside him, their faces contorted in pain under immense pressure, Kusanagi Godou made up his mind.

"You have violated the contract and brought sin to the world. The Lord says - sinners must be punished. Smash their backs, dig out their tendons, bones, hair, and brains, and trample their blood and dirt together. If I am someone whose sharp teeth are hard to get close to, I will obey the Lord's words and give the person who violated the contract an iron hammer of destruction!"

Power: Wild Boar

One of the powers obtained after slaying the Eastern God of War, Veleslana, is the ability to summon a wild boar that can completely crush the target when facing an extremely large object.

In terms of sheer volume, Kusanagi Godou couldn't find anything larger than the "disc" of the sky, so much so that he couldn't see it as an "object in front of him," but instinctively regarded it as "the sky falling."

With this conflicted feeling, when Kusanagi Godou first tried to unleash the power of "Wild Boar," he only felt a tearing pain in his body. Just as he was about to forcefully unleash the power regardless of everything, a weak voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Hey, hurry up if you don't want to die."

"Who?!"

Stunned, the Godslayer looked back and saw a disheveled blond youth with one hand hanging limply at his side and the other dragging a broken demonic sword.

"A god-slayer just like you."

Walking up to Kusanagi Godou, who looked bewildered, the Godslayer—the King of Swords—looked up at the "disc" falling from the sky and said, "To think that I've been reduced to this state by a disobedient god whose name I don't even know, it seems I've also regressed... Don't think you can stop this 'disc' with your power, or you'll end up like me, not to mention you'll probably lose your last hope of escape."

"You are the Godslayer, could you be the 'King of Swords'?!"

Recalling the news he had heard before arriving in the desert, Kusanagi Godou suddenly realized: "You've already seen the situation. Now, unless we use our powers to break this 'disc,' not only the area around the desert, but many people nearby will be affected—"

"Your power was seized after you murdered Vereslana, wasn't it?"

Interrupting Kusanagi Godou's speech, the Sword King's gaze remained fixed on the "disc" that was getting closer and closer in the sky: "Velleslana was the ancient Persian god of war, and also a guardian who served the god of light, Mithra. To a certain extent, he can also be seen as having a connection with the sun."

"So what."

"Use your brain to think. Even if he is not a disobedient god, but the true Eastern war god Vereslana, he is merely the guardian of the sun god. How could you, who merely seized the power of one of his younger avatars, possibly break this cycle of the 'sun'?"

Just as Kusanagi Godou was about to retort, he was taken aback by what he heard: "The sun?"

"That's right, why do you think I lost so decisively?"

Pointing to the "disc" that blotted out the sky, even this god-slayer, who had always faced the world with fierce fighting spirit, seemed to break down at this moment: "His power is not just yellow sand, but an empire built on the foundation of yellow sand. If this disobedient god is the desert emperor who controls everything in the empire, then this 'disc' is the 'sun' hanging in the sky of this empire, giving this empire 'fire,' 'heat,' and 'light'!"

"That guy summoned two 'disobedient gods'!"

The God Who Disobeys: The Desert Emperor.

Disobedient God: The Sun Disk.

Ragnarok: Chapter 415 A Cataclysmic Upheaval

How to destroy a "sun"?

To a large extent, this proposition is similar to how to destroy a world. In terms of the destruction of the ecosystem, it is even more excessive than the former. After all, for humans, "destroying the world" is at most erasing all things belonging to humans from the ground. But if the sun itself, which gives light and heat, is lost, then it will not be long before the planet itself "dies" and becomes a dead planet that can be seen everywhere in the universe.

Fortunately, the "sun" that Lin Yi needs to destroy right now is not the one that is more than 100 million kilometers away, but merely a "disc" that has already descended to a height of more than 3,000 meters.

Unlike the "sun" in the conventional sense, the disk cannot give life to all things. After all, no matter how powerful the force contained within it is, it is just a substance formed from yellow sand. However, its structural stability is far superior to that of the real "sun".

This "sun," which has merged into a solid disc shape, can provide "power" to the desert below without any internal reaction—it can also become "energy," allowing the yellow sand, which is also non-living matter, to form buildings and human figures, and to constitute a complete empire under the control of the Lord of the Yellow Sand.

This is Shurima, an ancient empire that should have disappeared from history, but was forcibly "awakened" by the Ascended.

The foundation of this empire consists of three things: the emperor, the disc, and the yellow sand.

As long as these three elements do not disappear, the Ascended Empire of this other world is invincible, which is why Lin Yi suddenly stopped attacking.

As the ascendant said, this behavior makes no sense at all.

Even the strongest lightning could not melt all the yellow sand of the Sahara in an instant, not even if all the energy in the world were gathered together. As long as there is even a tiny bit of yellow sand on the ground beneath our feet, Shurima will not disappear.

"They are both gods, but the difference is still quite large."

It must be said that the "disobedient god" who appeared in the Sahara greatly improved Lin Yi's understanding of "gods".

"Although it can't compare to the likes of Arthut, it still has some resemblance to the native gods of this world."

Exhaling, Lin Yi, abandoning his "energy-saving" idea, raised his hand and, under the indifferent gaze of the Lord of the Yellow Sand, extended his index finger, drawing a small circle in the empty air.

"...Is this how you beg for mercy, mortals?"

The desert emperor, leaning on his scepter, spoke with a mocking tone, yet remained wary.

The power of thunder was not unfamiliar to this emperor. Before he was an Ascended, he was betrayed by his subordinates who wielded this power, which led to the destruction of the once mighty Shurima Empire.

At this moment, although there is a difference in their essential aura, the Desert Emperor, who had finally managed to revive the Shurima Empire in this world with the help of the Sun Disc, could not afford to make another mistake. This is why he kept probing with words even when he was certain of his success.

It needs to confirm what relationship the human in front of it has with that traitor.

"If you kneel before me, perhaps I can give you one last chance."

"In that case, I should thank you for your kindness."

After circling in mid-air, Lin Yi made no further moves. However, the surging magical power he had gained from devouring the Disobedient God: Ancient Witch Spirit had diminished considerably. As he tracked the trajectory of the falling "sun" in the sky, Lin Yi suddenly asked, "Are you from Heaven or Purgatory?"

"...Foolishness, we were born in Shurima and belong to Shurima forever."

"That's true, there's no way such a distinctive character could emerge from beneath the 'fragments'."

A distinct self represents the individual, and the self implies something that is not easily controlled. For "fragments" that take control of everything as their guiding principle, such individuals only reduce efficiency, and there is no choice but to exclude them.

Thank you for your reply. Goodbye.

Without waiting for the Lord of the Yellow Sands to respond, Lin Yi turned around decisively, completely ignoring the presence of the disobedient god behind him.

The Shurima Emperor had never encountered such an attitude before. He could no longer suppress his anger and, without even waiting for the disc in the sky to actually fall, he used his power—that of the yellow sand—to unleash it on the "mortals" who had their backs to him.

"Annihilate, you ants!"

The release of power was perfectly normal. The endless yellow sand scattered in the surrounding environment responded to the call of the Desert Emperor's power and transformed into hundreds of thousands of sand soldiers, some waving staffs, some gripping spears, and some raising greatswords to charge forward.

But the next moment, the Desert Emperor realized something was wrong.

Its empire exists as usual, its power is unleashed as usual, its soldiers charge as usual... What is unusual is that they are only a few dozen meters away from their targets.

What was a distance that a single stride could easily cover for the superhuman sand soldiers just minutes ago now seemed as long as the end. Despite every single sand soldier running with all their might, the distance hadn't shortened even by a centimeter. In stark contrast was the "mortal."

In just a few steps, he had walked from the center of the desert to its edge. If it weren't for the sun disk overhead that still gave him a sense of presence, the Desert Emperor would have even doubted that he had left the desert.

In the emergency, the Desert Emperor disregarded the buildings standing in the center of the desert and ordered the sun disk, which was more than two thousand meters in the sky, to fall at top speed. However, a scene that angered and even terrified it occurred.

—The disc is falling at top speed.

This was the sensation transmitted by the solar disk to the Desert Emperor. However, what he saw was that the disk above his head was "moving" little by little at an almost stationary speed. At the speed that he could currently perceive, it would not be able to touch the ground, let alone a few seconds, or even several years.

Even the slow-witted Desert Emperor realized that all of this was related to that "human" with the aura of thunder. Just as he was about to speak in his rage, a voice came.

"Are you angry?"

"Human, I will burn you to ashes!"

"Then come and hit me." (From the poem "The Master of Chess" - Part 3)

The calm voice carried an unmistakable sarcasm as the desert emperor, wielding his scepter, charged forward at top speed amidst the swirling yellow sand. However, like the sand soldiers, despite moving at a speed that defied the limits of sound, he appeared to move slower than a snail.

At the same time, Lin Yi, who had already "walked" from the center of the Sahara to the edge, turned around and took a deep breath at this area where spatial distances were beginning to become chaotic.

The voice rang again in the ears of the ever-advancing Desert Emperor: "Friendly reminder, do you know how far the sky is from the ground at the highest point?"

In the depths of his heart, the Lord of the Yellow Sands had an ominous premonition.

"So close yet so far"

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and drew a second circle in mid-air, feeling the rapid loss of energy within his body. He smiled at the Lord of the Yellow Sands, who was destined to never leave the "3000km" distance at the center.

According to the principle of conservation of energy, in a closed (isolated) system, the total energy remains unchanged regardless of whether energy is transferred upwards, downwards, leftwards, or rightwards.

Similarly, in an overall balanced independent space, if the "space" between two stationary objects is removed and placed between two other objects, the distance between the two stationary objects will inevitably be shortened without limit.

"The sky collapsed and the earth cracked."

—The distance between heaven and earth.

Ragnarok: Chapter 416 Power

The distance between heaven and earth was reduced to an unlimited extent, and what appeared immediately after the collision was the scene that Kusanagi Godou was seeing.

There was no sky, no land, only an endless gray world as far as the eye could see. In the midst of the bewilderment, a stinging sensation came from my face. I subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, only to realize that it was sand and gravel carried by the gale.

Kusanagi Godou couldn't help but recall the scene from just now.

The "disc" in the sky did not fall as expected, but suddenly stopped at a height of nearly two thousand meters. Although the reason was unknown, it was perfect for the group who wanted to avoid the disc. But just when they thought they had escaped disaster, the impact broke out again without warning.

It didn't happen in a fixed direction. If we really had to find a "source point," the entire desert would be the "source point." At the last moment, all Kusanagi Godou could do was use his power to protect himself and the two girls before they were scattered in the impact...

Where exactly is this place?

Looking around, even with Kusanagi Godou's power as a god slayer, he couldn't see anything more than ten meters away in the dusty environment, let alone determine his location.

"Erica? Yuri?"

After shouting a few times in vain, Kusanagi Godou had to realize that it was all in vain. Even if the other person was right in front of him, let alone at a distance of unknown distance, it would be impossible for them to hear him in such a harsh environment.

Left with no other choice, Kusanagi Godou could only barely aim in one direction, trudging forward on the ever-thickening layers of yellow sand.

They were gone for who knows how long.

Without landmarks, without a timer, without direction, and without a goal… As time passed in this area, Kusanagi Godou, who was otherwise just an ordinary boy except for the fact that he had accidentally gained power and become a god-slayer, began to tire. After reaching the extreme of fatigue, he became numb, and after reaching the extreme of numbness, he tended towards madness.

"what--!!!"

The madness of ordinary people is futile, but the madness of a god-slayer is different.

The power from the gods wreaked havoc in this space devoid of even the slightest trace of life, yet the outcome remained unchanged.

The gray world impartially encompassed all the forces and materials that did not belong to it, until Kusanagi Godou used up his last bit of strength but was still unable to change the environment he was in.

(Am I going to die here?)

The terror of death made the god-slayer, who lay prostrate on the ground, tremble uncontrollably. He would never have acted this way if he had died in the heat of battle—at less than twenty years old, he was not yet old enough to appreciate the beauty of life and was more likely to make what he considered the "right" choice under the influence of strong emotions and impulses.

But the current environment is far from that. He can't even find an object that can be called an "enemy," and no one is forcing him to attack. All he has is a constantly repeating empty environment.

(In such an environment, a person dies silently?)

The newly born god-slayer had ample time and space to contemplate the terror of "death" itself in a place where no one would disturb him. Thus, he felt fear, a fear that nearly drove him mad.

"Do not--"

Just as it echoed Kusanagi Godou's own will to resist death, when he shouted out with his last bit of strength, this deathly silent space finally changed.

Like a scene from the creation myth, a beam of intense white light pierced the gray world, separating the "sky" from the "earth." From then on, the sky floated upwards, while the earth settled downwards.

Among them, the "space" that was in chaos due to the upheaval of heaven and earth gradually became clear, and "distance" reappeared.

The god-slayer was overjoyed at the sight, but he hadn't forgotten what he needed to do. Just as he was about to step away from this place, which was comparable to the underworld, Kusanagi Godou suddenly saw a figure from behind.

The figure of him, carrying the demonic sword, separated from him when the eruption occurred.

"King of Swords!"

Kusanagi Godou, recognizing the god-slayer, called out in surprise, but the Sword King in front of him seemed not to hear him, only silently watching the direction in which the light that separated "heaven" and "earth" disappeared.

Having finally found a partner, Kusanagi Godou didn't think much of it and walked straight in, reaching out to pat the Sword King on the shoulder.

"What are you doing here? Did you do that just now? Have you seen Erica and Yuri? I got separated from them..."

The Sword King remained silent... no, this time he "responded," but not with words, but with his dead body.

Under Kusanagi Godou's stunned gaze, this powerful god-slayer, who was known in the magic world as the King of Magic and the King of Swords, fell so easily, and the magic sword he held in his hand shattered into seven or eight pieces the moment he fell.

----------segmentation----------

"It's more like 'splitting' than tearing apart."

Thousands of miles away in the Sahara, Lin Yi examined a small, shimmering "thing" on his fingertip.

Power: The Torn Silver Hand

Normally, power is just a concept, like "thunder" and "sand," which can only be used but have no specific form. However, if the power of the holder is forcibly stripped away and there is no object to accommodate it, it will become the "thing" that can be seen but cannot be touched.

Naturally, this power does not belong to Lin Yi; its holder remains in the central Sahara region, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will likely remain there "forever."

"The backlash from the stripping of power to the holders is far more severe than expected... Could it be that the reason those disobedient gods disappeared after their defeat was because their power was forcibly stripped away?"
