The gigantic palace is extending itself.
Eaves and structures are continuously shifting their arrangement and positions in this process, like building blocks twisting and deforming within a pair of giant hands.
White mist coils around, the shadow of the Heavenly Palace ruins spreads, covering the entire town. The sunlight of the winter morning is gradually obscured, as if time has moved past dusk.
The townspeople only need to look up to see this wide "cover" with no visible edge, akin to storm clouds gathering before a tempest. This scene brings to mind the image of alien spaceships descending upon a city in a sci-fi horror movie.
"Wh-what is that?!"
"Run!"
"Get out of here quickly!"
The townspeople panick, hurriedly packing their belongings to flee.
