A World Without ‘Life’

Cattleya Vaughn's Destruction Energy could NEVER directly harm her son, Arthur. 

However, this protection didn't extend to the catastrophic explosions, spatial ruptures, or the continent-shattering devastation the energy unleashed. 

To shield himself and the others from the fallout, Arthur activated the Stellar Guard, consuming a charge without hesitation. 

The four teenagers were sent hurtling through the air, crashing to the ground hundreds of kilometres away as the shockwaves from the explosion tore across the land.

Even with their durabilites, the distance and the intensity of the blast would have left them battered and bruised. It did just obliterate half a continent and vaporized the nearby oceans, after all.

But thanks to the Stellar Guard, they were A-OK.

Now, only four charges remained.
