Not only the Holy Justice Citadel, but across the Great Cosmic Continent of Leo, within the countless Temples dedicated to the Holy Justice God, and even in the Great Temples, the same terrifying phenomenon played out.
The statues of Holy Justice God fractured, and sacred murals bled ink all over the continent.
Believers convulsed mid-sermon as the power of their divine blessings was suddenly ripped away.
The faithful—those whose entire identity was bound to their faith—felt their souls reel in a terror they had never imagined. It was as if their God had looked away… or worse… turned against them.
Some lost consciousness. Others began to scream in blasphemous madness, tearing their robes and scratching at their own flesh, unable to bear the void left behind by the power of faith.
In the center of it all, in the Citadel's most sacred site, all eyes turned to the grand dais at the far end of the main hall.
