"Consume."
The golden sea warped violently. Then it disappeared. The endless radiance vanished, leaving behind only faint wisps of smoke drifting through the darkness of space.
Silence followed.
The crown's eyes were wide. His legion… Gone? Just like that?
"Fuel."
A brilliant crimson orb formed before Atticus' outstretched hand.
The crown's widened eyes narrowed.
That energy. No. His legion wasn't gone. Consume. Atticus' flames had consumed them. And now… he was feeding them back to him.
The crimson orb trembled once before erupting forward as a beam of scarlet light. The attack seemed to tear through the fabric of reality itself before appearing directly before the crown.
"I WILL NOT LOSE HERE!" the crown roared. "I AM THE ABSOLUTE!"
His hammer crashed into the beam. A violent explosion of light and force erupted. The Middle Planes vanished beneath a tide of blinding radiance. Entire worlds were hurled through space like leaves caught in a storm.
