The collapse of the Infinity Castle came faster than expected, and more thoroughly.
The platform beneath their feet shattered into several pieces amid violent tremors and fell into the endless void below. Raging space turbulence swept everywhere like sharp blades, breaking everything it touched down into its most basic particles.

"Hold steady! Everyone, get over here!"
Sasuke's voice rang out clearly through the chaos, like an anchor holding firm against the storm.
Controlling Susanoo, he leaped from a huge platform on the verge of falling to another relatively stable piece of wreckage. At the same time, he expanded the enormous energy shield to its limit, enveloping all the core members and protecting them from the space turbulence.
