If breaking this barrier required the power to shatter a continent, then the Temple protection on Morpheus required power surpassing at least a nuclear explosion.
As for just how powerful that nuclear explosion would be, it was roughly dozens of times greater than the combined power of the two fission bombs dropped on Japan back then.
Honestly, this defense was rather poor. He was essentially an unaffiliated individual, and when he had assembled this equipment in this world, he had not managed to acquire anything particularly good. As a result, this Temple could not perform at an especially high level.
Even if it were handed over to the United States, they had quite a few nuclear bombs capable of piercing his defenses. Their retired B53 Nuclear Warhead, for instance, could easily break through them.
Yet now, Gilgamesh's full-powered strike could not affect his defense at all.
"So if you want to play with concepts, your foundation has to be solid enough first..." Morpheus muttered softly.
Even though the attack simulated spatial severance, the disparity in scale was simply too great for it to affect Morpheus.
Moreover, at the instant Morpheus had come into contact with the attack, he had felt something strange.
