The air shattered.
A low-frequency hum rippled outward from the center of Sanctum like the silent scream of an unseen god.
All 200 Fallout constructs jolted simultaneously. Their wings of skeletal steel and arcane fiber unfurled in perfect synchronicity. Each one carried a Big One-class mana core, fitted with mini-cluster warheads, and primed with compressed Void-Fused Mana.
Above Sanctum, the sky no longer resembled the heavens.
It was a metallic cathedral of death.
BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM.
Like titanic drums, the constructs launched in staggered spirals. First thirty. Then sixty. Then all two hundred.
They spiraled into the skies above Tzakaroth's path.
The beast sensed it.
Tzakaroth's dozens of spectral eyes turned skyward.
He snarled, not in fear—but in amusement.
"I see you, little Godspawn," he muttered.
The great monster took a stance.
And roared, summoning a vortex of corrupted mana that twisted space itself, preparing to consume the bombs in mid-air—
[EMERGENCY SHIELD DEPLOYMENT – INITIATED]
Name: Aeon Fracture Dome (RP-EX Item)Cost: 6500 Raid PointsUser: Iden [Approved]Shield Class: Dimensional Reflector – Grade EXDuration: 4 Minutes Max | Radius: 18 kmEffect: Nullifies internal blast damage to friendly territories.
A deafening pulse.
And then—a blinding dome of celestial energy burst open from Sanctum's Nexus.
A translucent shield of layered reality formed above every alliance district, every village, every civilian. The dome curved perfectly across the land, casting Sanctum under a silvery-blue light like the glow of a dying star.
All villagers, allies, even enemy spies… froze in shock.
Rael blinked in disbelief."That's… that's not just a barrier. That's dimensional-grade shielding."
Kael stepped forward. "Where did he get this?"
Arlen stared wide-eyed. "You don't just get that. You either find it… or something gives it to you."
A flicker of golden memory surfaced in Iden's mind.
That moment when the Primordial Beast, resting within the void of the seventh trial, spoke in a tongue long dead.
"You defied my rage and offered unity where others offered slaughter. One day, your world will tremble again, and when it does—call upon the shield of Aeon. One use. Make it count."
Tzakaroth stood in the center of the blast zone.
He lifted one of his claws and unleashed a corrupted beam of space-folding entropy to intercept the missiles—
But then he saw it.
A gleaming white core, unlike anything he'd seen.
It spiraled through his beam.
And then the rest followed.
200 nuclear-scale mana weapons. All detonating. At once.
The sky cracked.
The continent shook.
Reality itself bent.
A wave of white-blue heat devoured the land in a circular sphere, vaporizing mountains and cracking the abyss below.
The Fallout constructs self-detonated simultaneously, their cores syncing in the final millisecond to create a chain reaction of magic, gravity, and raw force.
Rael screamed, covering her ears as the world outside the dome vanished into light.
Kael shielded her.
Arlen grabbed the control nodes as a tremor shook the entire facility.
Even Iden, standing inside the central pillar, was blasted backward by the feedback—
But the dome held.
No fire entered Sanctum.
No wave touched its soil.
Silence.
Then… a distant howl.
When the dust cleared, the land beyond the dome had become a glassed crater.
The forest? Gone.
The mountains? Gone.
Even the Abyssal terrain was melted, reduced to black obsidian.
And where Tzakaroth once stood…
There was only a crater so deep, light itself refused to enter.

He emerged to see Sanctum intact.
His people alive.
His army ready.
And all eyes on him.
Nyra stood a few feet away, wide-eyed.
Rael ran toward him.
Kael and Arlen both stood in silence.
Iden exhaled, finally—chest rising and falling.
Then he looked toward the massive void crater.
And whispered:
"Let this silence be your requiem."
