The results of the terrifying ambush were devastating.
On top of the vessel, a massive crater had formed where Damian and Serala had unleashed their assault. The stone and metal deck had been gouged outward in a ring of destruction, edges glowing with residual heat.

Blazing white-blue wings dozens of meters wide spread across the sky, each feather defined with radiant light that made the afternoon sun seem dim. Serala's Physique had manifested in its full glory, the Wings of the Radiant Dawn expanded to a scale that spoke of Vessel Completion power rather than mere Organ Sanctification capability.
But those wings weren't just for display.
