The underwater mountains continued trembling.
Ancient cracks spread through the surrounding sea as space twisted violently above the abyss.
The terrifying aura that had appeared moments earlier grew stronger with every passing breath.
Situ's eyes narrowed.
Goro clenched his enormous fists.
Even the Nine-Colored Deer looked unusually tense.
However, just as the pressure reached its peak, the fragment hidden within her body suddenly released a pulse of rainbow light.
Buzz!
Space rippled.
The terrifying aura instantly weakened.
The cracks slowly closed.
The trembling mountains returned to silence.
Several moments later, calm once again returned to the abyss.
The three stared upward.
No one spoke.
Finally, Goro scratched his head.
"So... are we dead or not?"
The giant's words shattered the tension.
The Nine-Colored Deer couldn't help laughing.
"No."
Goro immediately relaxed.
"Good."
Situ, however, remained serious.
"What happened?"
