Black holes crackling with electricity open up in the wyvern’s Celestial body, and more of the smaller wyverns from below continue attacks, leaving demonic flames, earth bullets, wind slashes, and water jets deep into Seraphel’s body.

Upon impact, the enormous pillar of white and silver flames reaches the bottom of the realm, and a roar echoes out far enough to shake the grand citadel and reach the far corners of the green zone.
The outline of another dragon is engulfed in the flames, making it seem as though it is entirely white and silver, the only thing peeking through are the purple eyes beneath.

Two bright yellow lights appear on opposite sides of the Great Belt of Brymia's star system.
One of the bursts is very bright and concentrated, as the ice prison on an asteroid out in deep orbit explodes, and an army of 1st Class True Cored Morvale Demons is freed.
They all immediately turn toward the red star at the center of the system, led by one head Demon that sends update mess...

“I swear my loyalty to the Rising Emperor.”
“I can see—everything—we’re all connected…”

Whispers and even some yells start to appear in the crowds below the white and green glowing goblin queen in the air.
Small bursts of auras start to explode outward from the Lords in the stands.

My soul sword grows in size with me, now over 20 kilometers long from tip to handle, sparkling with white ethereal light, yet glowing equally as bright with a crimson fiery aura from deep inside its core.
I slam it downward as my best defense, yet it collides with its target and stops like it has hit a solid wall.
The middle of my sword connects with the open palm of Miriel Vermilli...

The floor beneath the ring cracks and shatters so much that large amounts of the flooring break open, and even erupt upward into the air.

The floor of the arena keeps cracking, letting more and more oozing black corruption seep up and out from below it.
