Furrowing her brows, Syradil was about to move when she realised that the attack was over. Like a black hole, the epicentre of the explosion started to absorb all off of the mana from the surroundings.

'Its trying to fix all of the dimensions that she just destroyed. It's even trying to drain me of my own mana. I suspect that this place will become a dead zone for several decades with how much damage she caused.' Syradil thought to herself as the mana required to fix a dimension was astronomical.

Add onto the fact that the source of mana in this area has been destroyed, the only way it can get mana to fix itself is from external sources such as people or plants.

Even if it drained everyone of its mana in its vicinity right now, it still wouldn't be close to repairing itself. At most, it'll be 0.5%.

Clenching and relaxing her fist, Syradil guessed that all of her mana would be drained in around 30 minutes or so and that wasn't including her regeneration.

Glancing up at s.p.a.ce, she could see the weapon shattered to pieces as the tier 8 magic circles disappeared. Pieces of debris started to fall off the weapon but they were soon disintegrated by the barriers.

Chuckling to herself, Syradil realised that her worries were for nothing as s.h.i.+ro had it covered from the start.

"I guess I was thinking too much. I suppose I should continue to level up until I reach my peak again. There are still plenty of things to deal with and the new age had just begun." Syradil muttered as she turned around and prepared to leave.

*PUCHI!!!!!

Just as she was about to leave, a sword stabbed through her torso as her eyes widened. Looking down, she could sense her energy being completely drained in an instant.

Gritting her teeth, she wanted to grab the sword but the owner pulled it out before she could lay her hands on it.

"Sleep." A cold voice rang out as Syradil felt her mind waver.

"Who are you?" She forced out but she heard no reply.

She wanted to turn around so that she could see her a.s.sailant but her body gave in.

Falling unconscious, Syradil's body was covered with a faint dark green glow.

Glancing back, the owner of the sword made sure that she was unconscious before looking up at the sky with narrowed eyes.

"There." They muttered before disappearing from the spot.

Just as she fired the weapon, s.h.i.+ro sensed a wave of backlash as her mana and divine energy was emptied out instantly. With her body devoid of energy, it was difficult to keep herself afloat as the blast sent her cras.h.i.+ng through s.p.a.ce.

Gritting her teeth, s.h.i.+ro couldn't stop herself as the only outcome was drifting off for a while until she could get her mana back. However, with her not being able to maintain the portals that provided energy, their oxygen supply had just been cut off.

But before she could be launched far, Nan Tian managed to catch her just in time as he used his mana to stabilise the both of them.

"I would love to talk but we're running out of air." Nan Tian smiled as he looked down at the pale s.h.i.+ro.

He noticed a faint 'cracking' mark stretching from her arm to the rest of her body. The cracks were created from an ominous red energy that seemed to grow with each second.

However, he didn't have time to worry about that just yet as he grabbed a teleport node and looked towards Madison. She was also launched by the explosion but unlike s.h.i.+ro, she had mana to stabilise herself.

"What a show. I can see why mum's interested in this girl. But with the relic destroyed, my job is over so this avatar is going to disappear in a few moments." Hemera sighed before glancing over at s.h.i.+ro.

"I'll tell you what's happening before I leave since it's rather serious. She's receiving a system backlash since she had used something that exceeded the world's power before the world was ready.

"Now that it's come to this, there are two choices. Either A, let the world break apart or B, let her body take the brunt of the damage. That is the choice given by the system and seeing as though the world is already taking quite a bit of damage, the rest of it is transferred back to her body. While she does have the blessing of the G.o.ds for now to reduce some of the damage, the blessings won't last long. She'll need to prepare herself since the moment the blessings end, she'll be put under a lot of pain." Hemera said as she could see the hole created from the blast all the way from s.p.a.ce.

All of the mana around the blast had been drained and nature withered away from the lack of mana.

Around the epicentre was a circle of black and brown which contrasted with the white snow and green forests.

Had she not focused all of the power into a single point, a continent would have been wiped out. She could faintly see the glow of lava within the whole but it was being buried by the rocks that fell off the side of the hole.

"Is there anything I can do to reduce that backlash?" Nan Tian asked as it pained him to see s.h.i.+ro breaking her body even more. Especially when her soul was already damaged.

"Unfortunately no. But with tenacity, I'm sure she'll survive. It'll just be extremely painful." Hemera sighed as her figure started to fade.

"But one last thing before I leave. Just so that you can protect her well."

Snapping her fingers, her crest appeared on Nan Tian's hand as it radiated with a golden hue.

"Unlike the blessing I gave you when you funnelled your power into the weapon, this one is permanent." Hemera smiled as her figure completely disappeared.

"Thank you." Nan Tian bowed before flying over to Madison's side.

Seeing that Madison was trying to recover from some backlash of her own, Nan Tian grabbed her arm and prepared to activate the teleport node.

But before he could, s.h.i.+ro stopped him.

"No. Don't activate it. Go back to Asharia and bring Isilia to s.p.a.ce. For oxygen, you, Isilia and Madison can just insert mana into the suit and the portal bringing the oxygen will open again. We can't let Isilia stay on Earth since she's being hunted by the watchman. For safe measures, bring Edvimar here too." s.h.i.+ro forced out while gritting her teeth.

She couldn't be restrained by this amount of pain when she needed to bring her best friend to safety.

Hearing this, Nan Tian furrowed his brows before nodding his head.

Inserting some mana into s.h.i.+ro's suit, he opened a portal back to Asharia and dashed towards the med bay while Madison looked after s.h.i.+ro.

"What the h.e.l.l!" Thiria shouted out in anger as she gritted her teeth. Looking at the hole that replaced the relic, she seethed in anger as all of her preparation was for naught. All of her plans, crushed with a single action.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself but failed.

"Retreat. We're going back to the city. There's nothing for us to gain here anymore." Thiria commanded as she started to walk away from the area. Now that the rainbow relic was gone, she might as well go back to cultivating her strength.

She'll prepare herself for the next battle.

One by one, the Queens started to leave the area since the relic was now gone. Without the treasure, there was no point sticking around when there was another nuke known as the Dragon Empress. Staying now would just be a suicidal act.

A few of them were curious as to who was responsible for the destruction caused but brushed it off as the work of G.o.ds since only G.o.ds could use tier 8 magic circles. With the relic being able to summon tier 8 magic circles of its own, the one who destroyed it must be able to kill a G.o.d.

With the Queens leaving the region, everything became quiet as not a single sound could be heard. No wind nor animals.

Dead was the best way to describe this place.

This marked the end of the first rainbow grade relic to have appeared in the new age. Destroyed before the world could learn of its power.

However, despite not being able to obtain the relic, a few Queens managed to obtain new alliances during this period and had already begun to plan their next steps. After all, the new age didn't end with just a single relic.

"How dare she..." A voice muttered in the void. Just as it had entered the world it was struck down by a blinding light which severely damaged its body. Strangely, it could feel its reservoir of divine energy decrease as though something had 'absorbed' it.

Taking a few deep breaths, it glanced through a screen and searched for the face of its enemy. Upon seeing the visage of a white-haired girl suffering from the backlash, it burned her image into his mind. if the backlash didn't kill her, it'll do it personally in the future.
