The moment her words ended, the world itself responded as massive vines erupted from space, and they twisted and stretched outward rapidly while rushing toward the floating orbs in an attempt to seize them.
However, someone had already acted.
"Steampunk."
"Leave it to me."
BOOOOM!
A mechanical arm shot forward, and it extended through space instantly while expanding across millions of kilometers within a blink, and its movement tore through layers of reality as it reached the orbs before anyone else.
The arm closed around them and secured them firmly.
At the same time, the vines reached the same point, and they wrapped tightly around the mechanical arm as they tried to pull the orbs away with force.
For a brief moment, the two forces clashed as they struggled against each other while the surrounding space distorted under the tension.
Then something changed.
The vines began to burn.
