Apotheosis

The needle, twisted and distorted badly, trembled violently as it tried to return to its original straight profile. If it wanted to forcefully break the space, it had to be connected as a whole.

This was a fight of physics. The needle represented an indestructible mass, but the space had been separated. Consequently, the aftermath was extreme.

All kinds of shock waves burst and rippled outwards.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A huge claw-shaped shock wave swept towards Zen's primitive land, gouging out a large chunk from its surface. Another shock wave drilled into the earth, leaving a pit that was dozens of miles deep.

While Zen's primitive land and the downgrader's Burial Land were caught in the line of fire, they were both solid enough to bear the impact.

However, the Evil God had transformed the materials in many large provinces into energy. Consequently, many parts of the Source World were weakened. When the shock waves rained onto the Source World, it cracked like an eggshell.

In a matter of seconds, the entire surface of the Source World was riddled with holes.

Fortunately, no materials or creatures had been left in these provinces, so it wasn't that big a deal. However, the proud Evil God couldn't tolerate this easily.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a few moments of twisting and turning, the indestructible needle finally broke the rules of space.

The space that bound and distorted the needle broke, and the parts of the needle began to connect again.

Even though the segments of the needle connected, it was still crooked, since it was forcibly twisted by the In and Out Holes.

Then, the needle tried to return to its originally straight state, moving like an uncontrollable metal whip that was lashing around violently.

It smashed anything in its way, without exception.

Splash!

A deafening sound of grinding metal echoed throughout the space as the needle tried to stretch back to a straight profile, a small crooked part of it shooting towards the Burial Land.

"What in the world..."

The downgrader's eyes widened as he saw the incoming needle.

He initially had absolute advantage over the whole situation.

He had felt like the Source World did

an even faster speed. Fortunately, it stopped in its tracks again, and whipped backwards, towards the Burial Land.

In the black hall, the Evil God buried his face in his hands and began to laugh hysterically.

His shrill laughter echoed in everyone's ears.

When faced with this undefeatable opponent, the Evil God had decided to unleash utter chaos, to even out the playing field.

While that was his plan, it was also a gamble.

Seeing the needle coming straight for him once more, the downgrader was consumed with fury.

If this was a game of luck, why wasn't luck on his side?

Right now, if the needle hit the Burial Land, it would probably be completely destroyed.

"Withdraw!"

the downgrader said wisely. He had grown quick witted in the face of danger. He controlled the array plate to force the needle to retract.

Then, he watched as the needle shrank rapidly. Just as it was about to lash at the Burial Land, it shrank to a size that completely missed the Burial Land.

Now, it was shooting towards the opposite direction once more.

"It's time for you to die." The downgrader laughed maniacally.

The Source World was right in the needle's path.

The downgrader controlled the array plate to make the needle grow rapidly again.

Swoosh!

The needle turned into an unimaginably huge metal whip that was lashing towards the Source World. The Source World at this point was like a fragile egg that was about to be smashed with a stone.
