Fist-thick black lightning collided with a porcelain-white storm as wide as a bowl, and everything seemed to stand still. Then a tremendous explosion swept across all of Upper Yard.
BOOM—
Blinding light filled everyone's vision. No one could see what had happened at the center of the blast. The shockwave that followed sent them all flying.
The force of the clash kept spreading, wave after terrifying wave. Ancient Trees so thick it took several people to encircle them were uprooted like feathers and hurled out of the forest.
In a single second, the shockwave tore beyond Upper Yard and reached the White-White Sea. Towering waves struck countless sky fish unconscious, leaving them floating belly-up in the churning water.
Even on distant Angel Island, a fierce wind destroyed houses and crushed shops!
The force of their clash had spread across the entire Land of God!
