Alm and Bruno felt their minds grow hazy; staying in this state for more than a few breaths was impossible. There was no time to think much about what to do now; the goal was clear, and they only saw one obvious path.
In an instant, the entire planet felt something wrong and incredible happening. All the Qi of that ascending world began to dissipate suddenly. It was as if a black hole had fed and devoured everything... within three seconds, they could hardly detect even a drop of Qi anywhere. The air became dry, all vegetation and nature lost its color, all forms of life witnessed the Qi of the planet reduced to a point where it would now be considered an almost mortal world.
The people from the city and the hero felt and saw clearly all the changes. Ninety percent of all the planet's Qi... was absorbed by a single round figure, as if all the universe's will converged on it.
