(Meanwhile, Caleb's POV)
*Bzzzt*
*Trrrr*
*Thud*
Caleb, deployed near the front of the Cult fleet, saw stray strands of aura from Yu Rulo's orb sweep over his ship, as almost instantly the electrical systems around him began failing in rapid succession, warning runes dimming across control panels while weaker soldiers nearby started collapsing unconscious beneath the crushing residue of divine pressure.
*WEEEOOOO*
*WEEEOOOO*
Emergency alarms screamed throughout the destroyer as Caleb felt his heart jump into his throat, because all around the forward line, ships had already begun exploding one after another.
*Boom* *Boom* *Booom*
For the first time since deployment, the possibility of death no longer felt theoretical to him, as he stared through the viewing glass and saw entire vessels vanish in fire before his own eyes.
