"Time, hear my command, stop!"
In the Kingdom of Stars, as Diya sang loudly, the bronze dragon behind her spread its metal wings, the left wing engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, the right wing etched with scales and beasts. When the bronze dragon gathered its giant wings to protect the mages of the Four Pillars God Sect, a massive circular clock appeared on its body, with only one hand and three time segments on the clock face.
When it ticked to the first segment, the starry sky barrier of the bulwark shattered, starlight engulfing everything, sparing only the bronze dragon.
Ticking to the second segment, ripples surged through the space-time of the entire area, stones twisted, earth churned, light bent, the whole world resembling a swirl of mixed colors.
Ticking to the third segment, the ruins where the Four Pillars God Sect mages resided were destroyed again, all nearby mage illusions disintegrating into ashes.
