The moment the gigantic palm fully manifested, the tremendous auras released by my sphere and Lyrate's sword simply vanished. The turbulent pressure that had been shaking the void disappeared without warning, and the countless sounds produced by our gathering power fell into absolute nothingness.
It was as though the entire region had been stripped of every vibration, every tremor, and every trace of energy that might have disturbed its stillness.
I could hear my own heartbeat.
Then even that seemed unbearably loud, until the silence deepened so profoundly that I felt as though I could hear the individual cells of my body splitting apart under the pressure.
Every hair on my arms stood on end.
