Oliver observed the power of the Celestial Flame as it ravaged the capital. He was very satisfied with the power of this world treasure.
Then, with a single thought, he stopped the flames.
He looked down at what was left of Kano's capital. Nothing remained but ashes. There were no traces of buildings, no people, no life. Everything had been completely obliterated.
Just as he was about to turn away, Oliver felt a strange attraction towards a specific location. His eyes narrowed as he focused on the spot.
At first, it looked like nothing more than a pile of ashes, but as he looked closer, he noticed a faint, dim glow.
"What is this?"
He muttered to himself. It felt very similar to the Celestial Flame.
With curiosity, Oliver extended his hand towards the dim glowing light. Then as he caught the dim glowing light, he felt resistance coming from it.
He observed it and saw that the dim glowing light was the same as that of Celestial flame.
'Is this the World Treasure of Kano kingdom' Oliver thought happily
'But why is there resistance coming from it'
Oliver wondered, his brow furrowing as he tried to control the world treasure. The dim light marble, glowing faintly in his hand, resisted his efforts, refusing to enter his sea of consciousness.
No matter how much he focused, it pushed back, almost as if it were alive, defying him.
Oliver's frustration grew.
'There are requirements for using world treasures, but in front of strength, they are futile,'
He thought, determined to bend the treasure to his will. With that in mind, he applied more force, channeling his power into controlling the marble.
He recalled the knowledge he had gained when he first acquired the Celestial Flame. World treasures often has requirement, demanding some form of acknowledgment before they would submit.
But Oliver knew that strength could override such demands. If the person was powerful enough, they could force the treasure to obey, regardless of its conditions.
The struggle between Oliver and the dim light marble continued, a silent battle of wills. The marble resisted fiercely, but Oliver was relentless.
He could feel it weakening, its resistance faltering as his power surged. After what felt like an eternity, the marble gave in.
It couldn't hold out any longer and finally surrendered, slipping into his sea of consciousness.
'Finally,' Oliver thought, satisfaction washing over him.
'It took so long, but as I grow stronger, controlling other world treasures will be easier. I'll be able to do it in seconds.'
Following the light, he entered his sea of consciousness, where the marble floated, its glow now subdued.
But as it settled in, the marble began to break apart, releasing a strange energy that flooded his body. This power was different from the Celestial Flame.
It wasn't a burning force but something else entirely—a special energy that filled him with the ability to control sand.
With the power came memories, a deep understanding of the world treasure's abilities. The knowledge unfolded in his mind, revealing its secrets.
[Sandstorm Sentinel]
[Rank: ???]
[Ability: Strong control of sand]
[Can turn the body into a sand element to avoid physical damage]
Oliver examined the abilities with keen interest, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
'With this Sandstorm Sentinel and the Celestial Flame, I now have protection against both mental and physical attacks,'
he thought, feeling the power coursing through him. His confidence swelled. He was certain that with these two treasures, he was invincible.
The urge to test his new power grew stronger. The destruction of Kano's capital had been satisfying, but now he craved more. He wanted to see what else he could do, how far his newfound strength could take him.

Meanwhile, back in the spoon, Luis watched the destruction of Kano with tears in his eyes.
The city that had once stood as a symbol of power and oppression, the city that had destroyed his kingdom, was gone—reduced to nothing but ashes.
"Look, Khazak, do you see that?" Luis said, his voice choked with emotion.
"Yes, Your Highness," Khazak replied, his eyes also wet with tears.
"It's all gone, though we couldn't destroy it with our own hands." He then looked up at the giant figure of Oliver with a sense of awe.
"God helped us destroy it."
Hearing this, everyone on the spoon erupted in cheers. They were overjoyed at the destruction of the Kano Kingdom, the source of their suffering. For the first time in a long while, they felt a sense of justice, of victory.
Then, the gentle yet powerful voice of Oliver boomed across, silencing the cheers.
"Tell me the other strongholds of the Kano Kingdom. I will destroy them all."
Luis and the others were stunned. They had thought that the destruction of the capital was the end, that the god would be satisfied with just that. But now, Oliver was offering to obliterate stronghold of their enemy.
With this luis came to his senses first
"Khazak, don't delay! Tell God all the places that you know!" Luis urged, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and excitement.
Khazak, understanding the urgency, didn't dare to hesitate. He began listing every stronghold, every fortress he knew of, detailing their locations with precision.
"God, they are all..."

And so, the purge of the Kano Kingdom began. Wherever Oliver went, destruction followed. The once-mighty cities of the kingdom crumbled beneath his power.
The death toll soared into the millions as the cities either burned to ashes or were buried in sand.
Oliver reveled in the destruction. Each test of his power brought new satisfaction, a deeper sense of invincibility.
With the Celestial Flame and Sandstorm Sentinel at his command, nothing could stand in his way. The strongholds that had once been the pride of the Kano Kingdom were now nothing more than desolate ruins.
In just half a day, nearly every major stronghold in the kingdom was wiped off the map. The once-thriving cities were now ghost towns, their inhabitants gone, their lives snuffed out like candles in a storm.
Nothing could stop the destruction. The Kano Kingdom, which had once stood as a formidable force, was now a wasteland, most of its people and its cities erased from existence.
----
After the destruction he had done, he left luis and his guards in the Azov kingdom.
The kingdom that had once been destroyed and ruled by Kano was now free, but it was not freedom that concerned Oliver.
He had given Luis clear instructions to take control of both the Azov and Kano kingdoms, ensuring that they were united under one rule.
'I will just establish my permanent base in Godfall" with this thought in mind, he went in the direction of The Godfall.
----
It had only been a short time since he arrived in this miniature world, but already, he had gained immense strength with the help of world treasure.
While pondering these thoughts, Oliver reached the Godfall. Now, his mind was set on returning to the Expanding Realm to exact revenge against the monsters that had caused so much devastation.
"Now, that i have such great strength, i will definetly get my revenge"
With great determination and without any hesitation he passed through the mysterious back to his expanding realm.
