”Shit!” Elijah could not believe the first stage of a origin could give him something like this. It was surely the most destructive move he has now. Pity it was be used only once a year, but now he had the confidence to kill a celestial without any help. Even his ancestor, Thunder could be taken by surprise and be heavily injured but this skill. He was thinking of unlocking a few supreme origins first, but now it seems he already had what he needed.
Searching for a prey to test his new powers, Elijah saw a lightning Sparrow not far from him. Its power was only a bit higher than the ordinary third realm cultivators but a target was a target.
”Meard,Devil Eye of Fear!” Elijah's right eyes turned fully black before a red reptile pupil emerged and an invisible force was sent straight at the sparrow's brain.
”Kkiki!” The sparrow froze and its body fell from the sky but Elijah saved it. He saw the little one turned so scared that the heart stopped and it died from fear, lucky Elijah could still feel the soul and pressed his hand against its little belly and sent a pulse of lighting into his heart that started beating once again and the little sparrow run away from Elijah the fatest it could.
”Orion is ready. Elijah, you can start at any time.”
”Okay, everyone in your positions. Initiating Skywall Plan. Let's drive them crazy.” Earth Will Armament! Lamet! Merging two great powers the ground at the borders of the empire started shaking, caravans heading to the Arctic Empire were just about to reach the border when a huge wall erected from the ground. The wall had not end and it isolated the empire from the rest of the world. Some that tried to reach the empire thought the ocean were stunned to see the walls isolated even the ocean. Panic spread fast and everyone turned their questions to the imperial family that knew nothing about the emergence of the walls.
They tried all they could but the wall was too powerful, some experts said the mixture of the many metals and precious stones made it impossibly hard to even open a thin crack on it. With a few weeks, all the stocked food was gone and without the transportation paths for the acquirement of food from other countries, it won't take long for the people to die and it was when another impossible thing happened. Everyone else from the commoners to the small noble families they were all gone, leaving nothing behind even the residences, only thousands of holes on the ground like it was all picked by a giant's hand. The emperor was about to go crazy when he heard a voice.
[Ye has insulted my the name of god. The skywall is just the beginning, sacrifice the transgressors and thou shall prosper]
Listening to this voice, Emperor Julius II knelt on the ground as he realized this calamity was bought by people who did something that messed with this God. From his creation, he learned how much gods must be feared. He thought nothing would happen because they had cut contact year ago and the divine cultivators lost their powers but it seemed there is at least a few observing them.
”I'm sorry almighty god, but this emperor didn't know someone has insulted your name. Can you tell me the name this transgression goes by?”
[Anthony Burton and Cecilia Larsson.]
On the same day, dozens of armed soldiers invaded Antony's bedroom in the palace in the middle of his activity with miss Cecilia and not long after Elijah, Aina, Zaid and everyone else in Orion watched the hologram screen showing two burning in the bonfire. Zaid cried in the execution and Elijah pat his head while telling he would be fine.
In the next day, all the houses and commoners were back at the same time the skywall had vanished and the imperial family watched astonished by the huge pile of Gold and gems that appeared right before the palace. Not much time later, the emperor himself established the church of the nameless god and it would soon spread through the entire Divine continent but this is another story.
