The door clicked shut behind him with a soft finality. Liam turned the key in the lock, then exhaled and let his shoulders relax. He stood there for a moment in silence, then let his body vanish into the Dimensional Space with a thought.
The shift was instantaneous, the weight of Earth's atmosphere replaced with the vast emptiness of the barren realm.
Liam reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. His face hardened as he saw the damage again.
The device was scorched beyond recognition, its casing cracked and blackened as if it had survived a fire. Smoke damage marked its edges, and faint lines of burn traced across the screen like lightning scars.
He pressed the power button out of habit, though he knew the result; nothing happened as the heavenly tribulation lightning had fried it completely.
Liam sighed.
