Above the clouds of the White-White Sea, the sunlight was blinding.

Lei En dangled Enel by the back of his collar, carrying him like a plaguy chicken as he flew back from the forest of God's Island, landing steadily on the deck of his household's sailboat.

"Sir!"

Kuina and Dadi hurried over to greet them.

When they got a clear look at the person Lei En was holding in his hand, both of them froze.

At that moment, Enel was charred all over, and his white afro, puffed up and standing on end from a "hundred-thousand-volt electrotherapy," was messy in the wind.

His naturally arrogant face was plastered with humbleness and flattery at the moment, looking precisely like a street punk who had been beaten into submission.

"Pfft..."

Kuina hurriedly covered her mouth, desperately holding back her laughter as her shoulders shook.

Dadi turned around even faster, pretending to inspect the sails, but his trembling back still betrayed him.

"Laugh if you want to. Holding it in is bad for your internal organs."

Lei En tossed Enel onto the deck casually and clapped his hands.

"Let me introduce him. This is our Heavenly Court's newly recruited night watchman and probationary coolie, Enel. From now on, the work of cleaning the ship, paving clouds, and repairing roads will be handed over to him."

Enel scrambled up in a hurry, bowing and scraping as he greeted Kuina and Dadi.

"Hello elder sister, hello big uncle, please take care of me from now on."

Even though he felt bitter inside, he didn't dare show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on the surface.

He had witnessed Lei En's world-destroying power with his own eyes, after all; compared to his life, what was dignity worth?

"All right, stop trying to buddy up here."

Lei En cut off Enel's fawning, turned around, and pointed at the magnificent and majestic island floating in the distance—Angel Island.

"Let's go, we are going to meet the local tyrant of this place and stake a claim on this turf."

Before long, the sailboat docked.

Lei En led the three of them swaggering into the central area of Angel Island.

The streets here were clean, with peculiar houses built of clouds lining both sides.

The residents of Sky Island looked at these four wingless, strangely dressed outsiders, casting curious and vigilant gazes one after another.

Lei En ignored these commoners, walking straight toward the towering temple at the highest point of the island.

"Halt! What people dare to trespass into the sacred temple grounds!"

Before the long stone steps leading to the temple, a squad of Sky Island guards holding long spears blocked their path.

The leading guard captain wore a stern expression and shouted harshly.

"This is the dwelling place of Lord 'God' Gan Fall, Blue Sea people, withdraw swiftly!"

Lei En stopped in his tracks, hands in his pockets, and looked up at the lofty temple.

"Gan Fall? That old man who rides a freakish bird?"

He dug in his ear, his tone carrying undisguised contempt.

"Make him crawl out and see me. This piece of crap place has a new master starting today."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Sky Island residents all gasped.

Had this brat from the Blue Sea gone mad? He actually dared to show such great disrespect to God!

"Audacious!"

The guard captain was furious, raising his spear as he lunged at Lei En.

"Dare to insult the deity, capture them!"

"Sigh, what a real hassle."

Lei En sighed, not even lifting his eyelids.

He didn't draw the Yubashiri at his waist, nor did he even take his hands out of his pockets.

He merely shifted his thoughts.

—Bzzzt!

An extremely blinding, azure lightning burst out from the surface of his body instantly!

His entire person seemed to transform into a deity composed of pure lightning, hovering midair!

An oppressive might, indescribable in words, descended upon the entire Angel Island like a physical substance!

"Th-That... what is that?!"

The guard captain stopped in terror, his spear dropping to the ground with a clatter.

All the guards and commoners had their legs turn to jelly under this imposing aura that felt like the wrath of heaven, uncontrollably dropping to their knees on the ground.

Rumble!

The originally clear sky instantly clouded over, thunder rolling.

Lei En looked down at the temple from on high, his right hand raising slowly, his fingertip pointing straight at the huge white jade plaza in front of the temple.

"God's Judgment."

Lei En lightly spat out four words.

BOOM—!!!

A terrifying blue pillar of lightning, exceeding five meters in diameter, carried a heaven-destroying, violent might as it plummeted from the sky, striking the temple plaza with pinpoint accuracy!

The earth shook and mountains quaked!

The hard white jade plaza was instantly blasted into a bottomless, huge, charred crater!

Violent currents of electricity wreaked havoc on the ground, rock fragments splashing everywhere like bullets, and the temple gates were shattered to pieces by this shockwave.

"What's going on?!"

Inside the temple, an old knight wearing armor and keeping a long beard rushed out hurriedly while riding a huge pink freakish bird (Pierre).

It was none other than the current God of Sky Island, Gan Fall.

When he saw the huge crater on the plaza, and then looked up to see the boy wrapped in lightning midair like a world-destroying demon god, his entire body froze.

Though Gan Fall was old, his insight remained.

He knew very well that this kind of power capable of triggering natural disasters with a wave of the hand was simply not something human might could contend with.

If this boy wanted to, he could even wipe the entire Angel Island completely off this sea of clouds in a single instant!

"You... exactly what kind of person are you?"

Gan Fall slid down from the bird's back, his voice bitter, the hand holding his long spear trembling slightly.

Lei En descended slowly in front of Gan Fall, the lightning on his body gradually subsiding, changing back into the seemingly harmless eight-year-old brat once more.

Yet his pitch-black, profound eyes revealed an overbearing dominance that looked down upon the world.

"My name is Lei En. From today onward, I have the final say on this Sky Island."

Lei En walked straight past Gan Fall, stepping into the great hall of the temple amidst the awe-filled and terrified gazes of all the priests and guards.

He sat boldly in that throne symbolizing the supreme power of Sky Island.

"Gan Fall, I see you are getting old, you should retire as well."

Lei En leaned against the back of the chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the throne.

"I won't kill you; from now on you can act as a village chief, responsible for managing the daily trivial matters of the commoners."

Gan Fall gave a bitter smile, knowing that faced with this absolute power, he had no room whatsoever for bargaining.

He sighed deeply, placed his knightly long spear on the ground, and knelt on one knee.

"Obediently following your will, Lord Lei En."

Following Gan Fall's surrender, the priests inside the hall and the guards outside tossed away their weapons one after another, dropping to their knees.

"Very good."

Lei En nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth curling into an arrogant smile.

"Since this place belongs to me, the name needs to be changed as well."

He stood up, looking down at the crowd below, his voice young yet echoing across the entire Angel Island.

"Listen up! From now on, this piece of crap place is no longer called some Angel Island, its new name is Heavenly Court Headquarters!"

"Here, there is no God, only the rules established by me, Lei En!"

Lei En turned his head, looking at Enel who was hiding in the doorway still wearing his afro.

"Hey, night watchman, crawl in here!"

Enel scampered in, his face piled with a fawning smile.

"Grandpa Lei En, what are your instructions?"

Lei En pointed toward the area behind the temple covered by dense cloud layers.

"Go, take a few sharp-witted people and dig out that big golden bell of Shandora for me. This daddy is the poorest boss on this sea right now, and I urgently need some startup capital."
