Judgment Array Grinds to a Halt, Lucifer Drops a Bombshell in Public

BOOM!!!

At the judgment angel Uriel's command, the Heavenly Judgment Array activated fully. It enveloped the entire Supreme Sacred Domain and struck fear into the hearts of powerful beings across countless planes.

This was no turn-based game where each side politely took its shot.

Twelve High Gods represented twelve of the Heavenly Realm's oldest, most fundamental rules—judgment, healing, war, protection, wisdom... At that moment, those twelve utterly different powers, some of which normally repelled one another, fused perfectly under an extraordinarily forceful, even ruthless Absolute Order.

The sky truly fell.

More precisely, an invisible, irresistible pressure crushed the Heavenly Realm's supposedly eternal spatial barrier from a three-dimensional structure into a sheet of two-dimensional paper.

Twelve pillars of light stretched between heaven and earth. No longer mere masses of energy, they twisted and intertwined into an enormous Light Grindstone large enough to cover half a galaxy.

The grindstone turned slowly.

Creak—creak—

The sound was not wind. It was the dying wail of shattering rules.

Particles of space screamed. The Time Law snapped apart.

Beneath the grindstone, everything, tangible or otherwise, was forcibly stripped away, pulverized, then reassembled into pure, cold, lifeless "particles of order." Sacred clouds that had drifted for ten thousand years, elemental sprites wandering through the air, even the very concept of time—nothing escaped.

This was Heavenly Judgment.

This was why the Heavenly Realm could stand above the Myriad Worlds and keep them under its heel.

Even the Abyss Mother Goddess, before she had taken that final step, would have had no choice but to flee from this attack.

HUM!!

A colossal Energy Storm spread outward like a tsunami. It surged beyond the Supreme Sacred Domain in an instant, reaping several nearby Lower Divine Kingdoms that depended on the Heavenly Realm as indiscriminately as Death God's scythe.
