Deep within the void, two dark crimson blotches of light, each larger than a supernova eruption, suddenly pressed downward.
The crystal continent containing the entire abandoned altar was instantly crushed into dust. Even the tiniest fragments were ground into pure high-dimensional particles as they fell.
Dormammu's will had descended.
He had long since abandoned any fixed flesh-and-blood form. The rolling black tide of the entire vast dimension was his body, bearing the immense authority of a colossal multiversal dimension. Like a pitch-black sea hanging upside down, it crashed down upon the slender figure suspended in the air.
Chen Xiao did not move to retreat. Instead, he voluntarily dispersed his Haki defense, leaving only a layer of pure white lightning arcs lightly pulsing around him within an electromagnetic field as he allowed the overwhelming pressure to descend.
