At Archer's declaration, the Star of Destruction in satellite orbit began filling with power, forming an arrow that shot toward the ground.
The arrow vanished in midair, and an enormous magic circle unfolded. Space shattered like a mirror, and the Great Waves of Nabistin described in the Epic of Gilgamesh-the great tsunami that served as the prototype for the legend of Noah's flood-swept toward Fuyuki City.
"This is what you call the destruction of the world!"
