Taking down the city

Cain broke through the city's energy force field with a cold smile, crashing headlong into the sprawling underwater metropolis. The city was teeming with hundreds of thousands of Divine Ascension Masters.

Yet none of them were prepared for what Cain unleashed next.

In that single instant of impact, his immense power converged, resulting in an explosion akin to the detonation of a small sun trapped beneath the ocean.

A dazzling flash of light illuminated the murky depths, turning the turquoise waters into a hellish mix of crimson and gold. Shockwaves of raw force tore through the city, collapsing buildings as if they were made of sand.

In mere heartbeats, entire structures were obliterated—some vaporized on impact, others crumbling like sandcastles under an unimaginable tidal surge of star-infused flames. Spiraling columns of water roared upward, laced with debris and the remnants of those who had been too close to the epicenter.
