Space was silent once more.
Where a planet had existed only moments ago, there was now nothing but drifting debris, glowing fragments of molten rock, and expanding clouds of cosmic dust slowly spiraling apart under the pull of twin red suns.
Zane and Eirenyssa floated calmly in the void.
A transparent barrier of layered divine mana surrounded Eirenyssa, shielding her from radiation, heat, and vacuum. Zane, on the other hand, stood without any protection at all, his coat drifting gently as if space itself refused to touch him.
Eirenyssa stared at the emptiness.
The planet… was completely gone.
Fragments the size of mountains glowed red as they cooled, forming long burning trails across space.
Suddenly—
A translucent holographic window unfolded in front of Zane.
Blue light flickered.
Text appeared.
[That was diabolical, boss.]
Eirenyssa blinked.
"…?"
Zane glanced at the screen and nodded lightly.
"Yeah," he said calmly. "That was diabolical."
