Remilya moved her hand gracefully through the air.
The dimensional lock imprisoning Falmuth shattered like glass turning to dust.
In the blink of an eye, she and her four Primordials teleported deep into the Voldora Cave in the Jura Forest—once the site where her bond with the Storm Dragon was formed, now only filled with the smell of damp earth and deadly silence.
As soon as the barrier fell, the news spread like lightning across the continent.
Observers from afar, who had been monitoring Falmuth, were confronted with a scene incomprehensible to the human mind.
Where once a populous country and massive stone palaces stood, there now existed only absolute nothingness.
The land was barren and smooth—no grain of sand, no splinter of wood remained to hint that a civilization had ever existed there.
Falmuth hadn't merely been destroyed—it had been erased from its past, present, and future.
Western nations initially panicked, but as days passed with no further aggressive movement, they gradually let their guard down, unaware that this calm was merely the silence before the storm of Null.
In the Holy Realm of Luminias (Loblius)
Luminias Valentine reclined on his throne, face cold as ice.
Hinata Sakaguchi, holding reports in trembling hands, said with fear in her voice:
"How is this possible? An entire country… wiped out overnight… not a single cell of its inhabitants remains.
This defies all known destructive magic."
Luminias, staring into the horizon, whispered:
"For entities that have reached the level of Catastrophe, the laws of physics and magic are mere toys.
Hinata, we are facing something that surpasses even the old Lords."
In the Ice Palace (Realm of Guy Crimson)
At the farthest point north, Guy Crimson listened to Mizari's report with a bloodthirsty smile.
Mizari, in a humble tone, said:
"Master, I personally attempted to penetrate the barrier.
But entry was impossible, and any damage inflicted on its structure was restored in less than a nanosecond.
The barrier is made of energy against which my magic is nothing."
Guy rose and approached a window facing the blizzard.
"Interesting… very interesting.
Erasing a country from the map, and doing it this cleanly… Remuru—or whoever you are now—has finally changed the game."
Only one question spun in the minds of all the world's powerful beings:
"How is this even possible?"
