Boom!

A catastrophic explosion tore through the void.

In an instant, both Frona—who had thrown herself forward—and the rushing Waitara Path Illusory Shadow were swallowed by the expanding blast.

The shockwave that followed was devastating. Xainte, the four ancient gods, and every powerful being rushing in were violently thrown back.

On the other side, the same force struck Thea’s black energy and the Light Heavenly Path energy. Already struggling to move, they were blasted straight into the Taixu Path Mirror—along with the Demon God and Harper.

Then—

Silence.
