The temporal explosion erupts in a blinding flash of white light, consuming everything. Valentine screams as the energy surges through him, his body dissolving into particles of light. The anchor point cracks, then shatters into a thousand pieces.

Thorne rushes forward, but Elara holds him back as the temporal wave expands outward, washing over them. The chamber dissolves into chaos as reality itself unravels.
