He pushed harder.
The golden light surrounding his consciousness grew brighter as more of his power poured into the chain, while the countless threads of Fate around him began shifting under the pressure, some bending away while others vibrated as though the entire Web could feel the struggle taking place at its center.
Still, the chain refused to move.
