Rinoz refuted in anger. "I am not weak. I have the entire power of the plane supporting me. I am strong."
"Your reign of terror ends now." She declared with a great shout, "I will kill you today."
The fountain of life sneered. It couldn't take her seriously. This was a girl that it had watched grow up. This was a girl that had reached her current level of power largely due to its help. This was a girl that is alive today thanks to its mercy.
It said in ridicule, "I am a force that you cannot possibly imagine or comprehend. You don't even know what kind of power I wield and you dare to call yourself strong. If you knew my full might then you would be running for your dear life now. You are but an ignorant child granted a modicum of power and you have let that power get to your head. You are nothing and you will die as nothing."
The fountain of life laughed and its laughter rumbled through the plane, vibrating through every living and nonliving thing. It shook them to their very core.
"But go ahead, little hero, show me what you're made of. Dance with destiny and embrace your inevitable demise. Your death will give me what I need to reshape this world in my image."
"Beyond, the power of creation."
Then the world turned upside down without warning. At least that's what Riniz thought. The earth beneath her turned into wind and the air above her turned into earth. But not for long. The fountain of life was just removing the earth beneath her to make room for the type of earth that it created above her.
Earth returned beneath Rinoz. She became sandwiched between the two layers. The earth that the fountain of life created is not the normal earth of the ground. It is far from it. It is a substance that looks like mountain rocks but is as hard as a high-grade Origin artifact. It is also very heavy so Rinoz was crushed between them. The light went out in the plane as she became flattened between two layers of earth. But Rinoz isn't dead yet.
The fountain of life brought the sandwich that she created towards itself. Rinoz was several thousands of kilometers away from the fountain of life. But that didn't save her. The divine sense of the fountain of life has spread to every part of the plane so it can manifest its power anywhere in the plane.
It brought the sandwich before it. Then it willed the earth to turn to solid fire. The earth maintained its mass, density, and heaviness so that it was still crushing Rinoz. But it has also taken on the properties of fire so that it can burn her to death.
Rinoz is not who she used to be. She has weakened severely ever since she sacrificed the living things in the plane to the Ghouls. The Ghouls grew while the boost from her title fell.
She has been weakened by a thousand times. Her boost fell from 1,000,000,000% to 1,000,000%. She might have been able to resist being captured by the fountain of life when she was at her strongest, but that is not so now.
Even so, Rinoz struggled with all her might. She ejected a massive nova that exploded all around her. A terrifying suction force broke out from within the sandwich of fire and earth. It caused the fountain of life to struggle to control its creation.
They tussled for a short while before the Nova exploded. The sandwich or fire and earth were blown apart by the terrifying explosion.
The explosion harmed Rinoz but it also freed her, if only temporarily. She was thrown away by the explosion but the fountain of life was already creating earth around her to capture her again.
Still, this was enough time for Rinoz to retaliate. She urged the ghouls to attack. They responded to her order while she tried to fight off being captured again.
She stretched out her 9 tails around her to hold back the two giant slabs of earth created above and beneath her. Her tails served to prevent the slabs from crushing her while she produced more Novas to destroy them.
Meanwhile, the fountain of life wasn't having a good time despite how carefree it looked. The ghouls have attacked it. The white ghoul that used to be Fenrir had used itself as a beacon to warp other ghouls to itself. So millions of ghouls appeared around it and went on to attack the fountain of life.
The fountain of life looks carefree even though it is being attacked by millions of ghouls because there is a barrier around it that is preventing the ghouls from even touching it. This is the same barrier that was used to seal the ghouls in the first place.
Usually, ghouls can pass through barriers as long as they are not reinforced with soul force. Even then, they can break those kinds of barriers that they can't pass through with brute force. So this barrier that has stopped the ghouls must have met the two requirements of reinforcement and power.
This is quite a surprise considering that the fountain of life is not an Origin god. It has managed to reinforce its barrier with something equivalent to soul force and it is powerful enough to hold back not one ghoul, but millions of them.
It is an achievement that is not without its burden. That burden is affecting its power of creation and preventing it from capturing Rinoz easily. The fountain of life can't hold back the numerous ghouls who are still increasing in number while also trying to crush Rinoz.
Rinoz was able to use the distraction to her advantage. She had to strain herself to the limit trying to keep the earth slabs apart. But she did it. It eased off the fear in her heart. It made her complacent. She was proven wrong very quickly.
