The sea had been churning throughout the Arms Race, the Environmental Pressure cycling through its phases as THE Infiniverse managed each one, but what it did now was different from anything it had done across the preceding nine hours.
The sea expanded, doubling in density, then doubling again, then again, the obsidian concentration above THE Early Veiled Shore growing dozens of times larger than it had been at any prior point until the sky above the shore had become a solid mass of compressed Primordial Source energy pressing against the upper layers of the domain.
The sea turned into incandescent obsidian flames!
Then it fell!
BOOM!
The obsidian flames rushed downward across THE Early Veiled Shore and beyond it, spreading across THE Infiniverse's full expanse in a wave that reached THE Creature's position and Calypso's position and Noah's position simultaneously, the Arms Race delivering its final distribution to all three participants at once.
