The five Gods died by Damien's hand without much of anything else happening.
Nobody knew of it until a few days later when Damien brought back their heads, but that had yet to occur.
By the time Damien went out to take care of them, the search and rescue operations around the Southwestern Region were already in full swing.
Tens, hundreds, even thousands of explosives had been uncovered, and more were still being found.
They were placed everywhere.
It wasn't just in cities and populated areas. Practically the entire subterranean layer of the cardinal region was a sea of explosive material.
It was difficult to find it all, and it was even more difficult to disarm.
After all, these explosives were made in the simplest, most chaotic way possible, by forcing conflicting laws together and containing them so they couldn't react.
