Ethan stood high above, his gaze sweeping across the land below.
The Plane World where Stormhowl resided wasn't particularly high-tier, but its core region held energy ores that were bizarrely potent—unnaturally so. That strange structure had thrown the entire world into a dangerously unstable energy equilibrium.
Even with Ethan's current mastery over spatial manipulation, he couldn't just uproot the entire world and move it wholesale.
So if he couldn't move the whole thing—
He'd dismantle it.
Ethan didn't hesitate.
He opened spatial gates at key nodes across the world, guiding the population out in waves. At the same time, Emerald Castle's engineering corps moved into the core zone, launching a full-scale extraction of the energy veins.
As the core ores were stripped away, the world's structural stability began to unravel fast.
Cracks split the sky. The ground trembled. Layers of space collapsed like a skeleton yanked from flesh—visible, violent, and irreversible.
