The sun burns by fusing the hydrogen in its surrounding with the helium in its core. Making the burning of the sun a nuclear fusion reaction. So no amount of water thrown at the sun could cause it to go out. Instead, any amount of water thrown at the sun will only cause it to burn even more. Imagine if the sun was closed in a furnace and a large amount of water was to be introduced to it, it would burn faster giving an illusion of an explosion. Now consider the pressure of the furnace on the sun during this reaction, though the sun will continue to burn faster within a closed and limited space it would cause a huge explosion to break free of the limit of the furnace.
Apparently, this was true for pure fire energy too. As proven by Lois who attempted something similar by using the part of the world connected to her to contain the pure fire rule and then she introduced the pure water rule to it. The pure water rule here, instead of acting against the pure fire rule, acted as fuel to the pure fire rule, which caused an explosion to break out.

Lois had already noticed that the boy was trying to get close to her, but she turned a blind eye to that because she wanted him to be at the center of the explosion she was about to cause. Therefore she ignored him as he subtly walked closer to her, she patiently waited for him to walk into her trap. But never in her dream would she have imagined that he would come out unscathed from her trap. Lois could not help but wonder how durable was the boy’s mysterious physique.
Lois’s explosion had caught me by a surprise. I did not think she would try to accelerate the pure fire rule by using the pure water rule as fule. I had many doubts about how Lois was able to use the pure water rule as fuel for the pure fire rule but if I were to guess I think this should be related to the varying purity level in the two rules. I believe the purity of the fire rule must have been higher than the purity of the water rule for the water rule to act as the fire rule’s fuel but I couldn’t say that for certain without going through the data.
I did not survive Lois’s explosion unscathed despite what she was led to believe. The explosion was not the right word to explain what actually happened, the water rule acted as an accelerant to the fire rule causing it to burn me faster than it usually would. During this incident, the rate at which my body burned by the fire rule had suppressed the rate at which my restructuring skill regrew my burnt body parts. Due to this, my body was almost burned by the explosive boost to the fire rule. However, a little mass of my body remained, hiding my calamity soul gem. So when the fire rule returned to normal I did not spare any energy to return to my peak physical condition. It happened in an instant, causing Lois to think that I survived her trap unscathed.
I was in the second transformation of the calamity soul gem, for such a large body to be combusted in a matter of seconds the acceleration given to the pure fire rule by the pure water rule was very huge. Had Lois continued the feeding the pure fire rule and the water rule for a second longer then I would have had to abandon my current calamity soul gem and transfer my mutated soul to a pseudo calamity soul gem that I had hidden nearby. To protect the secret of the calamity soul gem.
However, Lois couldn’t continue feeding the water rule to her pure fire rule because then she would be risking burning the part of the world containing the fire rule power, which meant she would be indirectly burning herself. So Lois had little choice when she stopped feeding water rule power to the pure fire rule power.
Even though Lois could shed the part of the world connected to her at will but the strain and pain transmitted to her body in case the part of the world were to be burned would be astronomical, even her legendary physique could not handle that amount of strain and pain, she might end up losing consciousness mid-fight. Which would be counterproductive. Therefore, Lois had to stop when she stopped, if she were a second late she would be paying a huge price for being stubborn and stupid.
“Is that the best you got?” I yelled rushing toward Lois while my eight fists attacked various points of her body.
Before the explosion, I was a few hundred meters away from Lois. Now, after the explosion, Lois was still in shock from my survival, making use of this moment, I burst with the maximum speed I could muster and closed in on Lois with my eight fists aiming at her lethal points.
But just when my fists were a centimeter away from Lois’s body she vanished and my fists landed on empty air. And I turned my head hearing Lois’s laughter coming from behind. “Hahaha, you thought you could close in on me? Sucker, you are in my domain and I know you have a huge advantage at melee range with your monstrous physique so you can forget about closing in on me while I can attack you at my will.”
‘Instantaneous movement,’ These words came to my mind seeing Lois vanish and appear far behind me. This one was different from her previous trick. As in her previous trick, she wasted time hopping for the spiritual channels of herself and her target. But this right here was genuine instantaneous movement.
‘Damn it, just when I thought I held the winning card.”
