A figure radiating light stood before the expanding red giant. Vast energy, like ice sealing it in place, gradually locked the ever-expanding red giant away in crystallized form.
Under the Violet Lantern's power, the expanding red giant slowly halted its devouring advance. The side facing the Violet Lantern was covered in the gleam of purple crystals.
