The Sun and its twelve accompanying planets all seemed to be enveloped within a larger, transparent crystal sphere.

Ripples spread across the Barrier at the edge of the crystal sphere.

Suddenly, a far more terrifying Rule Power swept across the entire Fixed Star System contained within.

"This is bad!"

"What is this Power? It can even seal all our Divine Power."

"No, haven’t you noticed? The fundamental rules of this world have completely changed!"

"There isn’t even a trace of Star Energy or Magic Power here anymore. Forget using Divine Power, we can’t even sense our Divine Kingdoms."

"And look, the Star Gate His Majesty the Dragon God opened has completely vanished." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"What?! How is this possible?"

"..."

At this moment, a good number of the Empire Gods were genuinely shocked.

This kind of Power was completely beyond their comprehension.

After all, even on the planet of the Intelligent Machinery Civilization, which had no Magic Power, the Star Realm itself still contained the expected Star Energy—dark matter energy and the energy from various cosmic rays.

But now, in this world, all these forms of Power seemed to have vanished in an instant.

The entire Star Sea, including the interior of the Crimson World planet beside them, had lost all elements of Extraordinary Power.

Beings who originally possessed Extraordinary Power could no longer sense any trace of Magic Power.

They could not even call upon the Extraordinary Power within their own bodies.

Clearly, the fundamental rules within this Crystal Wall World had completely changed in that instant.

It had eradicated the very existence of the fundamental energies known as Mana and Divine Power.

Consequently, any Power that required Mana or Divine Power to sustain became impossible to use.

Thus, at that very moment, the Star Empire’s Transcendents who were fighting—whether on the ground or high in the air—all suddenly lost their Ability to use Extraordinary Power in the middle of combat.

The only saving grace, however, was that their powerful physical bodies, already altered by Extraordinary Power, remained.

So, during the battle, there weren’t any cases of Transcendents plummeting from the sky and being smashed into a bloody pulp.

However, there were still countless Transcendents who slammed into the ground like cannonballs.

Most of them were knocked senseless by the impact.

Some, whose Divine Bodies were physically weaker, were even severely injured from the fall because they had been flying too high.

Admittedly, this situation was beyond Lince’s comprehension.

But for the Star Empire, this outcome wasn’t a complete disaster.

Even with all the Star Gates gone, the Star Empire’s army was already deployed on the ground. The power of the Intelligent Mechanic Legion alone was enough to spell doom for the Blood Race.

After all, in a world without the Extraordinary, what could be more lethal than Intelligent Mechanisms?

The Blood God’s move seemed utterly foolish.

But was it really so foolish?

No!

For although everyone in this world, including the Thirteen Blood Ancestors, had lost all their Extraordinary Mana and the abilities of Deities, a single exception had just appeared.

Yes.

The sea urchin-like, great-eyed Blood God was that exception!

In Lince’s eyes, this creature, like Lince himself, had lost the support of Rule Power.

But its entire physical body was still covered in a layer of high-level Star Power.

However, the Blood God could no longer project this Power from its body.

Instead, it could rely on close combat, letting this layer of Extraordinary Power grant its physical body immense destructive and defensive capabilities.

"Although I cannot yet completely control the Rule Power of the entire Crystal Wall—in fact, I command only a very small portion."

"But for now, this is more than enough!"

"Guests? Heh heh. In that case, my honored guests, you shall remain in my world forever!"

"I am very curious to see how far I can go after I devour your flesh, your blood, and your everything! HAHAHA~~~"

At that moment, the great-eyeballed Blood God moved!

In a manner that seemed almost ’laughable,’ it slowly drifted through the Star Sea toward Lince.

And what of Lince at this moment?

Lince felt a sense of resignation. After all, even for a being like him, with nothing but a tyrannical physical body and no access to his Law Power abilities, it was an achievement just to remain relatively stable in the void, let alone move through space.

So, at this moment, Lince simply stopped moving altogether.

He waited, conserving his strength, for the slow-moving, sea urchin-like Blood God to come to him for close combat.

As for the so-called Deities at this moment?

Whether it was the Deities of the Star Empire or the Thirteen Blood Clans, they were all like flotsam, drifting aimlessly as little more than space junk.

How absurd was that?

Deities who seemed omnipotent in their own worlds were suddenly unable to even move properly the moment they lost their Extraordinary Power, their powerful physical bodies doing little more than keeping them from dying in space?

However, the Star Empire’s side was in a better situation.

Because, in the next moment, Intelligent Mechanism Aerospace Fighters were already rapidly approaching these Deities.

They were doing their utmost to provide them with platforms to land on and use for leverage.

Unfortunately, Lince hadn’t managed to arrange for the Starships to arrive in time.

Otherwise, the situation would not have devolved into such a laughable state.

But all things considered, it was manageable. At least the Star Empire’s Deities could retain a shred of their divine dignity with the help of the Aerospace Fighters.

The Thirteen Blood Ancestors, on the other hand, not only lost their dignity but also had to face an onslaught of nuclear bombs launched from the Aerospace Fighters.

Although only a dozen or so Aerospace Fighters remained, for the Thirteen Blood Ancestors, it was an absolute catastrophe.

Without the protection of Mana and Divine Power, they couldn’t even withstand a one-megaton bomb, let alone tanking a ten-megaton one.

Thus, the Divinity and Spiritual Essence of these thirteen soon returned to the Mana Will of the Crimson World, their ends met with frustration and bewilderment.

Resurrection was, of course, possible, but that would have to wait until the war was over and the Blood God retracted the Rule Power that had altered the Crystal Wall.

The Aerospace Fighters naturally attacked the Blood God as well.

Unfortunately, for the Blood God, with its terrifyingly immense size and its ability to still cover its body with Extraordinary Power, nuclear detonations in space were nothing more than a tickle.

In fact, the sea urchin-like Blood God’s body merely shot out several fleshy tentacles and instantly destroyed three of the Aerospace Fighters that were attacking it!

The expressions of the Star Empire’s Deities turned incredibly grim as they witnessed this scene.

On the other hand, the Deities still had immense confidence in the physical body of Lince, the Ancient Dragon God.

And so, the Deities watched on.

At last, the sea urchin Blood God’s tentacles were able to reach Lince’s terrifying draconic form.

But Lince had been waiting for its attack all along!

Faced with the hundreds of ferocious, fleshy tentacles shooting toward him, each thousands of kilometers long, the terrifying Giant Dragon suddenly lashed out with a colossal claw!
