The blast tore through the air like a miniature comet, trailing streamers of destructive force that illuminated the chamber in a hellish mix of pink and blue. Pierre could feel the heat washing over him even before it arrived, could smell his own hair beginning to singe. The very air distorted around the approaching energy, warping like fabric being stretched to its breaking point. The artifact's power still coursed through his body, amber light pulsing beneath his skin in chaotic patterns, but he knew with cold certainty it wouldn't be enough to survive a direct hit from Jack's ultimate attack.
So he didn't try to.
