Ethan's eyes were cold and distant.
He simply lifted a finger and tapped the air.
The massive energy sphere—still spinning violently, packed with destructive force—was struck dead center by an invisible force. Its core destabilized instantly.
The next second—
The entire structure unraveled, dissolving into countless shards of light that quietly vanished in midair.
There wasn't even an explosion.
And then Ethan was gone.
The air split with a sharp tear as a blur streaked across the sky.
BOOM—!
A dull, thunderous impact echoed high above.
Drake barely had time to register the crushing pressure—like a mountain slamming into his chest. His mind went blank for a split second.
Every instinct in his body screamed danger.
He didn't dare stay another moment. Space energy surged violently around him, and his figure vanished into a ripple of distorted light.
The threat, for now, had passed.
Ethan didn't pursue.
