"Gates of Abyss…"
The words escaped the lips of both Eternal Supremes at the same time. However, before either of them could move toward the Abyssal Gates, an intense cracking sound echoed throughout the empty void, sharp and unmistakable.
The sound did not weaken as it traveled. Instead, it spread clearly across thousands of lightyears, reverberating through the starry sky as though space itself was protesting the disturbance.
Around the Abyssal Gates, hundreds, if not thousands, of fine hairline fractures formed in the fabric of space. They spread rapidly, branching outward like cracks crawling across fragile glass. Almost instantly, an overwhelming surge of Abyssal Energy poured out from the still closed Gates, violent and uncontrollable, flooding the surrounding area and completely submerging Orien within it before he could even react.
