The cracked avatar abandoned its palace shell and raced toward the stretched sky route while Ferra reached the dying foundation before the divine core cleared it.
The team watched from beyond the impact line as Ferra seized the incarnation pin with insulated tongs, cut its final maker mark, and pulled the finite metal free from the shell edge.
Dominion material had grown around the damaged point, so the pin resisted until Ferra used one hammer strike along the original forge line and freed the singular artifact without breaking the hidden core.
Rumi opened a touched approach through the rubble so Ferra could retreat before the shell collapsed while the pin remained bent and burned but no longer risked disappearing inside the falling stone.
Ferra retreated beyond the basin and said, "The core is clear of the shell, Juna, release when the complete body enters the aperture."
