Unfortunately for the Archangels of the Sun Church, the time they expected to have to improve their troops and fill the Blazing Wastes with traps and powerful destructive weapons was reduced from four decades to four minutes.
Without warning, the entire Sun Castle began to tremble violently. The tremors were not limited to the castle; they extended across the whole Blazing Wastes. Walls shook, pillars cracked, and the very ground seemed to groan under an unseen force.
Archangel Michael could not help but frown as he felt the unsettling vibrations. Confusion assaulted his mind for a second, his thoughts racing to understand the cause. Suddenly, shock and horror appeared in his eyes as he looked up, only to see the massive radiant sun covering the Blazing Wastes begin to shake and phase out.
"The Divine Shield!" he gasped.
