New York City – Eden vs. Korrith

Times Square was no longer a place of billboards and tourists. It had become a crucible.

The ground trembled with every clash.

Eden floated above the cracked streets, his red bubblefield rotating like gears of a cosmic machine. Across from him, Korrith, The Infernal Spark, hovered, arms outstretched, cloaked in fire and laughter.

"You’re strong, Earthborn," Korrith said, strength crackling with each syllable. "But strength without fury is wasted."

Eden replied by hurling a dozen razor-thin bubbles forward, each spinning with condensed heat. They collided with Korrith mid-flight detonations erupted, glass shattered for blocks.

Korrith emerged from the smoke, laughing harder. His chest was scorched, but his power didn’t dim.

He answered with a geyser of heat vision so intense it bent the color of the air. Eden countered, expanding a dome of red energy, forcing the laser's upward into the sky where it exploded like a second sun.
