One moment, Rui's Martial Embodiment ravaged the minds of all those it beheld witnessed, erasing their consciousness.
The very next, however, it disappeared once Rui dispelled Niflheim, finally putting his Martial Art to rest. Although it had felt like an eternity since the inception of the battle, no more than three minutes had passed since.
Yet, the disappearance of his Martial Embodiment certainly didn't undo the damage it had already inflicted. It had been minutes since his battle with the chimera had begun, yet almost all life in the manifold had perished as a result.
Despite millions and even billions of lifeforms of all sizes across the entirety of the hundred-kilometer-wide manifold, not a single one of them could survive the battle between Rui and the chimera.
Such was the horrifying power of beings at their level.
"Huff…" For the first time in what felt like ages, Rui remembered to breathe. "…Huff."
