SWOSH!!!
The ice shard pierced through the air at high speed and slammed into the space implosion Sigma was forming.
A real black hole would keep growing once it had enough mass.
It would pull everything in, because the gravity near it became too strong to escape.
But what Sigma made was not perfect.
It had not reached an event horizon yet.
That meant space was not fully sealed.
Energy could still leak out.
Light could still escape.
The implosion spun faster and faster, trying to stabilize.
The air around it bent.
Mingyue's ice shard hit the core.
For a split second, the shard looked like it was being dragged inward.
Its edges cracked.
Frost and crystal dust were torn away.
Then the shard pushed back.
But it isn't just ice.
It was a container packed with condensed mana, qi, and lifeforce.
The moment it touched the distortion, it injected violent energy into an unstable structure.
Sigma's "black hole" trembled.
Alex's narrowed his gaze.
