The air around them trembled with the aftershocks of Renzor's catastrophic attack, and a deafening silence followed the initial explosion.

"What... what just happened?" he muttered, his words barely audible as he stared at the horizon, where the blinding light of the Aurum Supernova had just dissipated. His eyes were wide, reflecting the brilliant afterglow of the explosion, and his mind raced to comprehend the scene before him.
