The ocean churned with chaos and blood as the battle for Atlan raged on. The leviathan loomed above the battlefield, a nightmare given form. Its obsidian body stretched for miles, its violet eyes glowing like twin voids of annihilation. Each movement of its colossal frame sent shockwaves through the water, scattering warriors and debris alike. As its massive jaws opened, a vortex of destruction began to form, pulling everything toward its gaping maw.
The waters howled with death as it swallowed thousands of Atlan's forces with no mercy. The once-glorious formations of merfolk, aquari, nereids, sirens, and selkies had become scattered, their blood painting the ocean in ribbons of crimson and deep blue.
Below them, the darkness loomed—not from the sea itself, but from the rift, still torn open at the bottom of the trench.
From it, more of Xal'dar's creatures continued to rise.
