The world changed.
The instant Kyrian fully unleashed the power of the Bone of the Heavens, he felt something impossible to describe, a sensation that transcended any previous experience.
It was as if his consciousness had expanded.
As if he no longer existed solely within the limits of his body, confined by flesh and bone. As if his boundaries had dissolved, allowing his perception to spread beyond his skin.
The fire. The heat. The magma. The fiery Qi spread across miles.
All of it seemed to be part of him. Or perhaps it was the opposite. Perhaps he had become part of it.
His spine pulsed violently, not the calm and rhythmic pulse from before, but a powerful throbbing, like the heart of an ancient beast awakening from a millennia-long slumber.
Each beat sent invisible waves through the surroundings. The air trembled. The ground vibrated. Even the light itself seemed to distort around Kyrian.
Around his body, absurd quantities of fire Qi began to gather.
