The light in midair came to a complete standstill at that instant.
Hundreds of millions of black Reishi motes appeared without warning around Lille Barro's enormous, grotesque eight-winged body.
Space itself was forcibly torn apart and folded.
Surging black radiance poured down from the heavens like an inverted waterfall of solid black jade.
A pure-black cube more than a thousand feet across descended with a towering force that threatened to crush heaven and earth, enclosing the monstrous bird's arrogant Vollständig snugly at its very center.
Under the crushing pressure of the descending Black Coffin, the already shattered palace ruins sank more than a hundred feet.
Space trembled, and the atmosphere groaned and creaked beneath the unbearable weight.
Ancient, profound gravity sigils were inscribed across the cube's surface, and ten thousand jet-black spears pierced inward from within the Black Coffin.
It was a torrent of gravity constructed purely from higher-dimensional Reiatsu, stripping away all time and space inside it in that instant.
Frenzied annihilating power surged repeatedly within the seal, crushing and shredding Jiliel's wings of light inch by inch.
Even the air around the Black Coffin developed rippling fractures visible to the naked eye.
