Centered on his landing point, the entire ground rippled outward in wave-like cracks, as if it were a surface of water.

The cracks spread at a terrifying speed in all directions, tearing the floor of the entire hall into countless fragments.

"Consider it... a farewell gift for you."

Jeming punched towards the professor, who had dispersed into a sky full of the Blood Net.

The motion was unremarkable.

It looked just like an ordinary person clenching their fist and swinging once at the air above them.

Then, the Blood Net vanished.

Under the extraordinarily exaggerated power of Jeming, the sky full of the Blood Net spread like a piece of paper being set on fire, starting from the center and spreading outward, completely "erased" in less than a moment.

The fine red threads making up the Blood Net lost all structure and nature the instant the punch's force passed through, transforming into the most basic energy particles.

Then those energy particles were ground into an even more fundamental existence by the punch's force, leaving nothing behind.

The existence of the "Blood Net" was completely erased by this punch.

But after easily destroying the Blood Net, the force of Jeming's punch was not exhausted.

At this moment, the dispersed power began to trigger a large, visible shockwave.

The tsunami-like shockwave passed through the hall, through the floating staircases and rooms in mid-air.

Ultimately, with absolute strength, this power easily pierced through the bizarrely constructed boundary of the "stairs" Alternate Space.

Then, it crashed into the bottom of Wudu Psychiatric Hospital.

Boom!!!

The building's foundation shattered like a biscuit under the impact of the shockwave, with the reinforced concrete structure having no resistance against the punch's force.

The entire building began to collapse from the bottom upwards, with the whole structure being lifted into the air.

Shattered glass, broken bricks, twisted steel bars, broken concrete slabs... everything was swept up into the sky by the shockwave and gradually twisted into fragments under the force's grip.

The shockwave burst through the ground, soared over Wudu, and flew straight into the sky.

As the altitude increased, the power rapidly spread.

The thick, dark clouds shrouding the city's sky year-round, almost blocking out the sun, were torn apart like a thin sheet of paper before the shockwave.

A massive circular hole appeared in the center of the clouds, with edges as smooth as if drawn by a compass.

Behind the hole was a deep blue sky.

It was a blue that the people of Wudu had never seen before, pure as a gemstone.

The remaining, dispersing shockwave turned into a gale, sweeping in all directions from the center of the hole.

It blew across the harbor, peeling away the thick fog as if by a giant hand; it blew across the old city, drying the eternally damp cobblestone streets; it blew across the industrial district, instantly scattering the black smoke rising from chimneys.

The dense mist covering the whole city was blown away by the aftershock of this punch.

The sky over "Wudu," at that moment, became clear.

The president of the Spirit Communicator Association was swept out of the ground by the shockwave.

He stood at the edge of the psychiatric hospital's ruins, covered by a thin storm barrier that shielded him from falling debris and dust from above.

His eyes were wide open, reflecting the huge circular hole in the clouds and the deep blue behind it that he had never seen before.

The male and female support sent by headquarters leaped out of the ground behind him.

The female support had her mouth open, unable to speak.

The male support clenched and unclenched his hand repeatedly.

Not far away, Harding and Deke stumbled over the rubble as they ran from outside the cordon.

Harding's face was pale, and Deke's lips were trembling.

They looked up at the sky, at the giant hole, at the scattered mist, unable to utter a single word.

The crowd evacuating around the psychiatric hospital also stopped in their tracks.

A nurse holding a child stood by the roadside, looking up at the sky.

Her eyes reflected that blue, with tears silently sliding down her cheeks.

Even the nurse herself was unsure if her tears were born of fear or some other reason.

The child in her arms reached out a hand, pointing skyward, babbling incoherently.

At the factory workshop entrance, Eric heard his coworkers' exclamations and ran out from inside.

He stood on the open ground outside the door, shielding his eyes as he looked toward the sky.

Then, he was stunned.

The sky over Wudu had turned blue.

In his twenty-six years, he had never seen a sky like this.

It was a color he had seen in picture books, imagined in dreams, but never witnessed in reality.

A gust of wind blew in, ruffling his hair into a mess.

He didn't dodge; he just stood there in the wind, head up and mouth open, like a blade of grass bent by the gale.

With the dense fog blown away, the view was exceptionally clear, and everyone present could see that figure.

It was a faint, blurry outline, as if someone had erased a mark in the air with an eraser.

It stood at the center of the psychiatric hospital ruins, directly below that massive sky hole.

Surrounded by collapsing buildings and swirling dust, its presence was enough to draw everyone's attention.

No one could clearly see what it looked like.

The Void Step had blurred Jeming's form into an unfocusable shadow.

But the fact of his existence was indisputable.

Everyone saw him, and everyone instinctively knew: he had thrown that punch.

The president's steps unconsciously moved forward a step.

Jeming turned his head, his gaze cutting through the ruins and dust to fall on the president.

Thus, the president's steps halted, and the question he wanted to ask caught in his throat.

In that instant, Jeming's figure became completely transparent.

The Void Step fully activated, and his presence vanished from all perceptions, like a drop of water merging into the sea, leaving only the bemused and fearful crowd present.
