The world lost all sound at that moment.
Then came a blinding white flash, followed by a devastating shockwave. The wooden dome held for three seconds before beginning to collapse. Splintered wood was instantly ignited by the intense heat, turning into a rain of fire that filled the sky.
But this also reduced the meteor's momentum and size. By the time it finally smashed through the dome and struck the ground, its diameter had shrunk to less than fifty meters.
