Before Gale Heart, Westheid's charge and challenge had all but swept away the resistance outside the colossal city.
After issuing his challenge, Westheid did not advance further into Gale Heart. Under the Celestial God Law, he wouldn't be able to use his full strength; entering the Capital would just be asking for trouble.
Westheid had no desire to ride a two-kilometer-long elevator or push a door that couldn't be opened from his side.
So, while awaiting a response, he turned back and rejoined the battle behind him, treating it as a way to kill time.
BOOM—
Westheid met the frontal thrust of a Riding God Giant Statue head-on. The lance, like a pillar from the heavens, came crashing down. A phantom-blue spiral erupted in a brilliant flash, showcasing the purest Power of Numbers born from a Divine Structure.
Yet, this pure power was crushed before an even more violent one. Westheid caught the lance, hundreds of times his size, with his bare hands, his knees only buckling slightly.
