The sun rose—
The instant that light flared.
The Insect Amber Master grabbed all the amber gems from his bracelet and threw them forward! There were seven gems remaining. Each gem expanded into a layer of translucent amber light, shielding everyone Iver had just revived.
The seven layers overlapped, becoming an almost impenetrable barrier.
That was the only reason they survived the aftershock of that strike—
The Paradox Flame Butterfly's body burned and cracked. Countless golden-red flames compressed the air, turning it into shock waves as sharp as invisible blades of wind, nearly incinerating and destroying everything around them!
—The sun perished.
The sky fell dark once more.
Wherever the shock waves swept through, the Tower to the Heavens burst apart inch by inch.
The black cracks reflected in the surrounding world were torn open even further.
If it had originally looked like an intact pair of pants slashed open by a dagger, it now looked like a pair of ragged jeans in some bizarre fashion style.
The cracks resembled countless eyes. Through the light, the Fallen Angel on the other side could now be seen faintly.
It was a colossal, god-demon-like shadow that towered between heaven and earth—
Compared to its size, the entire Tower to the Heavens seemed like nothing more than an exquisite pastry on a plate.
His hands were sharp claws, and six enormous, tattered black wings could be seen faintly behind him. His face was impossible to make out. Only a rich Deep Purple glow coiled around his head. Through the horn-shaped full-cover helmet, two dark crimson flames burned where his eyes should have been.
Compared to before, the world had become even more precarious.
—Yet it still did not collapse completely. Instead, it released even more of the Fallen Angel's power into the world.
