A thunderous crack split the sky.
Above the central stronghold, where once there was peace, a full-scale battle between peak Cosmic experts now unfolded like a storm of gods. Emery stood in awe beneath the protection of the stronghold's inner wards, his eyes locked on the figures tearing through the heavens.
Each one of these combatants bore their third cosmic realm, brilliant manifestations of the law they commanded. The air trembled with the force of their spells; reality itself rippled from the sheer weight of their auras.
Among them, Rendra the Stonebreaker—a colossal half-giant, the confirmed Supreme Magus of the enemy force. This monster of a man stood nearly four meters tall; he alone could fight ten peak cosmic experts.
Wielding a warhammer, he swept through the sky like a living comet. Every swing shattered the sound barrier, and every roar sent ripples across the clouds.
But he was not unopposed.
