Ethan formed a seal with his palms together.
A vast circular pattern unfolded in front of him, layer upon layer like revolving rings. Starlight poured into it from all directions, gathering with terrifying density, as if fragments of the night sky had been forcibly dragged down into his hands.
The pattern rotated faster and faster.
"Star Reaching Hand!"
Ethan struck forward.
At the center of the pattern, the starlight suddenly collapsed inward, compressing into a colossal blue palm engraved with star power. The giant palm descended from the sky, carrying a crushing pressure as if the firmament itself were falling, and slammed straight toward the swamp below.
Boom—!
The swamp exploded.
Mud and black water were torn apart, shooting into the air like a torrential rain curtain. At the same time, a colossal shadow burst out from beneath the swamp, its massive body lifting the water level several meters in an instant.
A huge mouth opened—black as an abyss.
