"Release! Spear of Indra, Vajra!!"
In an instant, golden lightning burst forth from the Vajra, and fierce sparks flashed in the air.
The Vajra, the legendary weapon used by Indra, capable of unleashing heavenly lightning!
The Hero-King held the divine scepter. Accompanied by the golden lightning, he raised it high above his head and instantly hurled it down towards Wapol, who was no longer in human form.
Facing the heaven-shaking golden lightning, Wapol's pupils shrank violently. An unprecedented sense of crisis welled up within him.
"Wha-!!?"
In his terror, he reacted quickly, mobilizing all the weapons on his body and firing them in an instant.
A dense barrage of cannonballs flew head-on towards the golden lightning.
However—
The moment Wapol's attacks came into contact with the golden lightning, they were all annihilated in the blink of an eye, turned to ash.
"What!? This golden lightning is terrifying!!"
Even his attacks were annihilated in an instant. If that thing were to hit his body, the consequences would be dire.
"No, I can't... I can't fight it!!"
Despair appeared on Wapol's face. The massive, immobile fortress had now lost all will to resist, trying to move to dodge.
Seeing this, the Hero-King scoffed.
"A mere ant wants to dodge heavenly punishment? You think it's that simple? It's too late!! Disappear in the face of this king's wrath."
The next moment, the heavenly lightning descended, striking Wapol's body directly and completely engulfing him.
The instant Wapol's body came into contact with the heavenly lightning, it could not withstand the immense power and suddenly disintegrated. Not only that, but even the massive Drum Mountain began to shake, unable to bear the tremendous force.
Rumble!!
In the distance, Dalton saw everything. When he noticed Drum Mountain shaking, his pupils shrank. Without a second thought, he leaped onto the mountain cable car at top speed. He didn't even get in the car, just grabbed the cable and slid down, fleeing.
Flee, flee, flee!!
At this moment, there was only one thought in Dalton's mind.
That golden king was too terrifying. The overwhelming power he displayed was simply unbeatable. Wapol, who had consumed so many weapons, was killed in a single encounter. He was a monster!!
Dalton slid down the cable, descending to the foot of the mountain at top speed.
Thud.
The snow cushioned his fall, preventing him from being seriously injured, but his hands were a bloody mess from the friction.
As soon as Dalton landed, the citizens who had been waiting below saw him and ran over, begging.
"Lord Dalton, please, please save my child... he needs a doctor! Please ask His Majesty the King to let the 'Doctor 20' treat him!!"
"Lord Dalton, and my daughter!! She needs a doctor too."
"My wife is about to give birth! Why won't His Majesty the King let the 'Doctor 20' treat us!!"
...
Faced with the people's questions, Dalton felt a sense of self-blame and helplessness.
But now was not the time for that.
Dalton had no time to deal with them. The moment he landed, he looked at the citizens and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Quick!! Flee from here... Drum Mountain!! It's going to collapse!! Run quickly!!"
Dalton's desperate cry drowned out all the citizens' pleas.
For a moment, the citizens were stunned.
"Huh?? It's going to collapse...?" one person reacted, saying.
Then, the earth shook, and the heavenly lightning descended.
The dazzling gold illuminated the entire sky, turning it a shade of yellow.
The world itself seemed to change!
The falling snow turned into an avalanche! It came down like a mountain collapsing.
However, the collapsing Drum Mountain shattered even the avalanche.
"Don't... don't look... quick, run!!! Wapol is finished! This country is finished!! Drum Mountain is about to collapse! Run quickly!!!"
The heaven-shaking cry of desperation seemed to pull the trigger that set the world in motion again!
The citizens who realized what was happening reacted instantly, their faces filled with terror!
"Oh my god, what... what is that?"
"What happened?"
"Damn it... is this divine punishment? What did I do wrong to be punished like this?"
...
For a time, the citizens wailed, their faces all filled with terror.
Drum Mountain was collapsing in an instant. The earth-shattering explosion was enough to burst a person's eardrums. The massive shockwave rolled on. In the kingdom, roofs were blown off, and snow was swept up.
The fleeing people were pressed down by the immense wind pressure, unable to stand.
"It's... it's over!!"
"Someone save me!! Damn it... why is this happening!!"
"Oh my god, that bastard from Drum Kingdom did too many wicked things, and now he's finally brought down heavenly punishment... but... why are we being dragged into it!!"
"We're going to die!!"
...
An atmosphere of despair filled the kingdom. In just a few seconds, the collapsing Drum Mountain would be enough to engulf half the kingdom. By then, the entire country would be in a state of semi-destruction.
However, at that moment, a king's stern voice descended from the heavens, like the word of a god!
"Chains of Heaven!!"
Countless golden chains shot up into the sky, weaving into a massive net that completely enveloped and bound the collapsing Drum Mountain!
