Tracy's face bore a trace of helplessness, "The strand of Power of Annihilation developed from Daz Lee's research is terrifyingly potent. In the face of the Power of Annihilation, both legendary forces and Class VIII arcane implements are rendered powerless."
"As you can see, only the Time Stone, a Level VII Epic resource from the Celestial Dungeon, can temporarily preserve the Power of Annihilation."
