Boom—
A piercing explosion of energy tore through the clouds like thunder. A hundred meters above the cruise ship, two figures carrying world-destroying auras collided with a deafening crash.
A brilliant energy torrent, radiant as the blazing sun, exploded outward from the point of impact in a ring. Visible shockwaves surged wildly in every direction, throwing the people on deck off their feet. They covered their ears and staggered back, their faces pale as paper.
