@kishy72: Thanks for the lovely feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed working out the logic. It was also a fun challenge to set. :-)
Btw, you might also want to try the very entertaining puzzle by clover (which appeared on CTC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_ARtim-H4M.
It was the inspiration for this one.

I don't think I have ever solved a puzzle harder than this. This was a brutal solve ! Middle is as tricky as the start if not more. Great satisfaction upon completing the solve. Well done in creating !

This puzzle made me scream "This is absolutely beautifull" in British accent with palms on my head. More then 10 times during the solve!

After complicated coloring calculations to get the key two numbers, it is still very difficult. Fortunately, through the arrow circle of the 2468 cage, I calculated a larger number again, and then I found the exact blasting point. It’s time to popularize the incredible devil design: "How to design a beautiful puzzle?" It took a lot of time, but it's worth it, thank you!

An intense Category 4 storm! Time to board up the windows and brush up on geometry :)
