Light blades filled the sky.
Like an endless shower of flowers.
They blotted out everything overhead.
At that moment, a shower of petals seemed to fall through the endless dark void, landing on every World Beast.
Sss!
Before those beautiful petals, the World Beasts' bodies were so fragile that they were sliced open with ease.
As petal after petal swept past, their bodies were shredded, and the worlds within them shattered as well.
Beautiful.
Deadly.
Silent.
Endless light blades illuminated the vast expanse of void, as though it had fallen into an unprecedented silence.
There was not a single sound.
This was a magnificent funeral.
This was the power of a mighty Eternal True God from the ancient civilization, a powerhouse who had been granted a treasure ranked among that civilization's very finest single-user Mechanical Flow Treasures.

Powerhouses abounded in the ancient civilization. To survive, that ancient Eternal True God had needed to make himself last as long as possible in battle. The energy reserves within the source were comparable to all the power contained in that ancient being's entire divine body.
He had spent an immensely long time gradually accumulating it.

Its power already rivaled a strike from certain Saint-Level beings.
Naturally, it far surpassed the power of the annihilating strike the 8.5 million World Beasts had unleashed together moments earlier.
It, too, was utterly silent.
It swept past without a sound.
Before that endlessly terrifying strike, everything was annihilated, everything became nothingness, and even sound ceased
