A heavy, unnerving silence descended upon the arena as chaos chose to disregard Ethan's presence as if dismissing his existence entirely. The absence of any immediate response from chaos sent a chill through the group, their instincts alerting them to an impending revelation. They braced themselves for what chaos had in store.
In a sudden twist, the atmosphere seemed to shift as if the very fabric of reality warped before their eyes. Dark tendrils of chaos snaked through the air, entwining themselves around the consciousness of Ethan's friends. The group's expressions shifted from anticipation to a mixture of confusion and intrigue as they were drawn into a shared experience.
Still, since they didn't have his powers, Ethan assumed that his friends would be fine… until the shadows began to explode and enveloped everyone.
