Ethan watched in a dazed state of amazement as the colossal white hand descended further and entered the dark lake, moving steadily toward him.
Its presence alone caused the surrounding darkness to recoil, and the moment the radiant hand touched the surface of the lake, violent reactions erupted everywhere.
