Gern's eyes snapped open. There was no emotion in his pupils, only an absolute will to destroy.
The supreme control he had gained since Heavenquake's Awakening allowed every one of his moves to unleash greater power than before!
Then Gern slammed his palms together, bringing the hands hovering one above the other before his chest into a fierce clasp!
"Heavenquake: Airspace Disintegration."
There was no earth-shattering explosion. In its place came a deeper sound of fracturing, one that made the soul tremble!
Crack-vmmm!!!
Centered on Gern's palms, an indescribable, transparent shock wave instantly expanded into a sphere, sweeping through everything within a thousand meters!
Space itself had been detonated!
Sight lost all meaning.
The ice field beneath their feet no longer cracked apart. It disintegrated directly into countless enormous, sharp-edged fragments, severed from one another.
Like a shattered mirror, its fragments were separated by pitch-black rifts in the void, their depths unfathomable!
The air was no longer a gas. First it solidified, then it "shattered" like glass with a clatter.
It formed countless lethal shards of air that refracted distorted light, suspended in every inch of the area!
Kuzan's elemental transformation was forcibly interrupted the instant he touched that transparent shock wave!
He felt as though his body and consciousness were about to be dismantled into their most fundamental particles along with the surrounding space.
His ice crystals fractured inch by inch, not because they were being shaken apart, but because the "structure" that composed them was collapsing.
Then he gave a muffled grunt, and the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth was instantly shaken into a crimson mist by an invisible force.
The whole world seemed to become a smashed kaleidoscope. All matter, energy, and even light lost their original order, falling into utter chaos and collapse!
