  In the ter of Upper Yard.

  A magnifit temple—built entirely of gold, stood proudly.

  Asding the long, golden steps, one would see eight solid gold pilrs standing within the spacious temple. Everything inside was made of gold. The floor was covered with luxurious animal furs.

  The radiant gold—rather than appearing vulgar, emanated an aura of solemn dignity.

  --

  At this moment...

  "What did you say? Another squad of the God's Militia has gone missing?" Gan Fall's expression was grave. "Could it be the Shandians? Why haven't I received any news?"

  "Great God—these brave soldiers have all been firmed dead. After iigation, it appears a Blue Seaman kidnapped Captain stand is heading tod's Land. Please allow me to apprehend him!" Mley said, struggling to tain his anger.

  "A Blue Seaman? Damn it..." Gan Fall felt his divihority being challenged like never before.

  "It's bad, God! The guards... the guards have been struck by—Divine Punishment!" A guard stumbled in from outside, out of breath. He looked terrified, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

  "BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!"

  Outside the temple, thunder roared. Bolts of lightning desded from the sky, striking down the God's Militia one by one.

  The enormous tremors shook the solid temple. The wine in Gan Fall's hand spilled all over the floor. After several tremors, everything stopped.

  Just then...

  "Zzzzzzt—!"

  A pierg hum desded from the sky. A dazzling blue fsh formed iemple, its tip aimed directly at the Sky Isnd's God—Gan Fall, seated at the highest point.

  "Watch out!!" Mley, kneeling on one knee, roared. He tried to use his body to block the Lightning Spear.

  This sudden turn of events stuhe guards iemple. Gan Fall's expression ged drastically. Rage surged through him.

  But he was, after all, the God of Sky Isnd. He wouldn't have held the position without some power.

  His silver armor shimmered. In the nick of time, he sprang from his throne, dispying astonishing speed, dodging the Lightning Spear which struck the golden throne.

  The golden throne now had a hole melted through it, shog everyone.

  After the Lightning Spear dissipated, Gan Fall, catg his breath, looked towards the door. "Lightning? Is it divine punishment, or someone trol the power of lightning?"

  The area outside the hall was empty, except for the fallen guards.

  "What happened?" Gan Fall was furious, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

  "Whoosh!!"

  A figure, apanied by blue electricity, suddenly appeared iemple, startling the guards. They immediately braced for a fight. The electricity coalesced, revealing Arthur's form.

  "You weren't killed by my Lightning Spear? You've got some skill," Arthur said.

  Although his Lightning Spear hadn't reached its maximum speed, it wasn't something just anyone could dodge. Gan Fall had dodged it without any preparation, proving his exceptional abilities. But that was all!

  "Who are you?" Gan Fall was wary, not daring to act rashly. He could only ask sternly.

  "The one who will take your life!" Arthur didn't want to waste words. He flicked his wrist, and another bolt of lightning shot out.

  He wouldn't be respected unless he killed Gan Fall. How else would the others obey him and build the Ark for him? That was why Arthur didn't mince words.

  Others killed chis to warn the monkeys. Arthur was doing the opposite, killing the moo warn the chis.

  Thunder roared again. A surge of lightning, ten times rger than the Lightning Spear, seemed to loto Gan Fall, giving him a feeling of unavoidable doom, as if he would be pursued to the ends of the earth.

  The lightning bolt grew rger in his eyes. Gan Fall's pupils shrank to pinpricks. Despair welled up in his heart.

  "How a human trol lightning? This really is the power that only a true God should possess," he thought fleetingly as his body was gradually engulfed in white light.

  "Aaaah!!!" Gan Fall's strength wasn't weak. He actually withstood the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power for several seds, filling the temple with his agonizing screams.

  "God!"

  "Lan Fall!"

  Mley and the guards watched with bloodshot eyes, tears streaming down their faces. But not a single one dared to step forward. They could only gre hatefully at Arthur.

  The lightning dissipated, slowly revealing Gan Fall's fallen form. He was still alive, but barely, gasping for his st breaths.

  "You didn't die?" Arthur was a little surprised. He had used high-voltage current, not ordinary lightning, and Gan Fall had actually withstood it.

  "Siaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I've bee a little pt. There are many strong people on the Grand Lihere must be many who withstand my lightning..."

  He reflected deeply, looking down thoughtfully. Then he ughed. "Haha, so what if there are many? The more there are—the more exg it will be, right? The one who reaches the summit, in the end, will be me!"

  Arthur cast aside all distrag thoughts. Lightning gathered in his hand once more.

  This a terrified everyone...

  "Such great power. It's not something humans grasp!"

  "Could it be that this person is the true God, who came to punish Lan Fall?"

  Among the God's Militia iemple, some began to waver in their faith, looking at the fallen Gan Fall with less reverend worship.

  In a world where power was supreme, the rules were simple—The strong were gods!

  "Cough, cough!" Gan Fall regained sciousness, his mind already starting to blur.

  "Lan Fall!!" Mley rushed over to support him.

  "My Sky Isnd... hasn't done anything to the Blue Sea, has it? I don't know... cough cough, why are you attag us without any warning?" Gan Fall's fading gaze fixed on Arthur.

  "No, you're mistaken on one point!" Arthur shook his head, correg him. "Nobody provokes arength is everything—And I want to quer Sky Isnd!"

  He looked up at the assembled God's Militia, his voidifferent. "Those who don't wish to die, submit to me now. My patience is limited! From this day forward, I am the new God of Sky Isnd—The Thunder God!"

  "That's it... cough cough, you're right!" Gan Fall's arm drooped powerlessly. "Captain Mley, everyone in the God's Militia, I - Gan Fall, relinquish my position to the Thunder God today. From now on, you will obey him..."

  He had seeuation clearly. They couldn't resist this maance meah.

  Before he could finish, his head lolled to the side. He was dead!

  The God's Militia looked at each other, uain. Mley was fiercely loyal to Gan Fall, diligently carrying out every task assigo him.

  He took the lead, and the God's Militia behind him k on one knee, pledging their allegiance!

  "We greet the great Thunder God!" Their voices were firm and orderly, eg through the temple.

  stance, who had arrived te, walked through the door and witnessed a se that would forever be etched in his memory.

  "Hahahahahaha!"

  Arthur's booming ughter echoed across Upper Yard, heralding the arrival of the Thunder God!
