In the blink of an eye, cracks of all sizes filled the ground beneath the clowns' feet and the air around them, before transforming into a dense expanse of jigsaw-like patterns surrounding every clown.

At the sight, everyone immediately leaped into the air, yet they could not escape the spreading cracks at all.
