Cosmic Graveyard

"You think you're the only one who can erase things?"

Xiao Han stared coldly at the Cartographer as red light shot from his eyes.

The red and white beams collided in midair. Space cracked like a shattered mirror.

The Cartographer's body began to destabilize, shrill alarms blaring from within it.

[Warning! Warning!]

[Higher-dimensional reality interference detected]

[System overload!]

Xiao Han gave a mocking smile and seized the opening. He rushed the Cartographer and drove his right hand straight into its core.

Brilliant golden light erupted from his palm, pouring a torrent of energy into the Cartographer!

Gold washed across the sky. People throughout New York looked up in shock.
