The Sun King saw the rapid weakening of his soldiers and became furious. His two large eyes widened in anger when the World Spirit told him that every Vulcan on the battlefield had become sick.
He had been glaring at the battlefield and scrutinizing the enemy as if he wanted to vaporize them with his gaze. So he noticed the army he created was weakening and falling apart. He just didn't know why that was the case.
It wasn't until the world spirit told him of the illness that he realized that his people were being sabotaged by the enemy. He immediately attributed the source of the illness to the foreigners because there was no way a previously unknown disease would suddenly appear and weaken his people just as they were about to push back one of the limbs of the invading world spirit.
He became so angry that he decided to break his rule of not directly interfering in the battle below. He had wanted to he on standby to stop the strongest of the invaders, but now he thought that wiping out the source of this illness was a better idea.
With his decision made, he descended in anger. The enemy was behind their domain, but he didn't care. He continued to smash down with fury and fire.
Arthur began to panic as soon as he felt the intensity of light and heat increase. He didn't need to look up to know what was coming down to destroy him.
He quickly shouted to everyone around him, "Retreat. Retreat immediately."
Thor also sensed the incoming danger and tried to stop it by redirecting all the guns to the sky.
A golden Spear of Light shot into the sky and struck the Sun King head-on. But this powerful energy attack only tickled the Sun King. This was because he was highly resistant to heat, light, and fire.
The Spear of Light is mostly highly energized light, so it couldn't harm the Sun King. The most that several Spears of Light could do was irritate the surface of the Sun King and slow him down. They were simply incapable of breaching his defense.
Seeing as the energy attacks didn't work, Thor switched to the rail guns and their armor-piercing rounds. He watched with a hopeful gaze as several enchanted canisters of metal sailed into the air and smashed into the descending star.
This time, the effect of the guns was better. The giant armor-piercing rounds managed to penetrate the thick outer shell made of plasma around the Sun King. Then they exploded within the shell.
The explosion was spectacular, but this still wasn't enough to injure the Sun King because they only scratched the surface. The armor-piercing rounds formed large craters on the surface of the body of the Sun King and staggered him, but they weren't enough to stop him.
If anything, the fact that his defense was breached a little bit only made the Sun King angrier. He roared and picked up speed as he smashed down onto the mobile fortress.
The large fire ball in the sky smashed into the barrier of the mobile fortress and caused a great explosion to occur at the point of contact. The explosion was deafening, and it caused the mobile fortress to shake a little bit. But the mobile fortress was fine.
The most fruitful thing that the explosion of power and heat did was to wipe out every enemy standing around the mobile fortresses. The fire and heat from the explosion washed over them and vaporized them.
That single attack wiped out tens of thousands in an instant. It was as if a blowtorch was used to burn a piece of paper. They couldn't resist at all. Even the gem kings that were close to the explosion were melted into slag in an instant.
So all that came out of the attack of the Sun King was the death of many of his soldiers. None of the people of the sixth division were harmed because they had retreated into the mobile fortress.
Thor, who had his metallic heart in his throat when the Sun King smashed down earlier, now had the mind to laugh. The laugh came unbidden, and it was so loud that it drew the attention of everyone around him.
Many people turned to stare at him, but Thor didn't care. He laughed heartily as he pointed at the Sun King and said, "You may have the advantage of your world, and we might be limited in what we can do to you, but that doesn't mean that you can smash us apart in a fit of anger. You're no longer the top dog in the world."
He tried to use his divine sense to communicate with the Sun King so that the ball of fire would know what he was saying, but his divine sense was burned away by the fire around the Sun King. This caused him to stop laughing and to cry out in pain.
But even though the Sun King didn't know what he was saying, the man had eyes and saw his enemy laughing after he failed to kill them.
As if failing to wipe out his enemies wasn't bad enough, having them mock him for his failure was enough to trigger the most well-adjusted man. The Sun King was far from well-adjusted, so his vision darkened as his anger blinded him.
He forgot that he had ventured into the domain of the invasive world spirit and that his connection to the world Aries was being cut off. He forgot that he was weakening and only focused on destroying his enemy.
He smashed his massive fists against the barrier of the mobile fortress again and again. But not only was the mobile fortress unharmed, it also didn't stop.
The mobile fortress was able to bear the anger of the world and continue to move forward, spreading the influence of the Ethera tree. So it was no wonder that the mobile fortress was still able to move under the barrage of the Sun King.
