Dohyuk let out a breath. The explosion was very powerful. Everything, the light, the sound were gone but it was easy to see how devastating it was. The sound of water splashing could be heard outside of the city wall, just beneath it. The region that was filled with brown rocks was now gone and replaced by sea water washing in from far away.

  ‘It sure was a crazy idea.’


  He knew it was going to work, and he did pull it off successfully, but to ‘test’ it against this much power…… If it was just forming a shield, DOhyuk would not have done it even if he knew the shield was going to be durable. Either way, it wasn’t a shield.

  When the 2nd chapter of Genesis was written, he had swallowed his city to protect it from catapults. But to the people who did not know what Dohyuk did, it looked like Dohyuk hid the city instead of eating it. That wrong perception had given him an entirely different power.

  It wasn’t a shield. It just cut off the space from the outside. As the ‘hand’ was in place, nothing could go in or out. Not even the explosion.

  Dohyuk felt the cool breeze as he deactivated the power.

  ‘So, its duration isn’t long.’


  It had distinct pros and cons. This power was surely useful for protecting his city. However, since it only worked to cut the space, it didn’t work to expel intruders who came into the city, nor the attacks made from within. Furthermore, it required a lot of faith.

  ’42 million…… no. about 45 million.’


  He had it activated for a few seconds, but it wasted a lot of faith. It was much cheaper to put the island on the sea, but it wouldn’t work in a long fight.

  ‘And it will cut the flow of oxygen too.’


  Dohyuk tried using this power for the past few months, to cut the space around him and after breathing all oxygen inside, and he realized its power. And he utilized the power to its best just now. Dohyuk tried to turn to the city.
