Boom!

A deafening explosion rippled across the Forty-Nine Heavens. Within the dense gray cloud that had engulfed Rubella, countless bolts of multicolored lightning crashed down in rapid succession, instantly swallowing half of the Conferred God Platform.

The sheer force was overwhelming. Even Yegor and Herodias, closest to the impact, were blasted backward by the violent shockwave.

Across the platform, the gathered gods unleashed their powers to shield themselves—but even then, they were forced down, unable to lift their heads under the crushing pressure.

After what felt like an eternity, the storm subsided.

Silence fell.

When the gods looked back at the Conferred God Platform, their hearts dropped.
