The instant the beam struck the bridge, the skill detonated. A singularity formed at the point of impact, a dark, swirling core that devoured everything around it. The bridge groaned under the strain as its surface shattered, chunks of it breaking apart and spiraling into the growing void.
The pull from the singularity mixed with the unstable space of the realm, twisting gravity itself. The chains screamed under the pressure, links snapping one after another in violent bursts. The air bent around us, thick with Essence distortion.

"I think you should wake up now," I muttered.
