[WARNING: REMOVAL OF CORE WILL RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC SERVER COLLAPSE.]
[CEASE IMMEDIATELY.]
"I decline your terms of service," Sebastian snarled.
He torqued his back and violently ripped the orb off the pedestal.
SNAP!
A sound like a planetary guitar string snapping echoed through the liquid.
The white light of the Core instantly shifted to a deep, dark azure in his hands. He had disconnected it.
The reaction was immediate and apocalyptic.
The thick red fluid of the Blood Lake instantly lost its cohesion. Without the Core to govern the physics of the server, the liquid literally stopped being liquid. It shattered into millions of red polygons that floated aimlessly upward.
Sebastian kicked off the pedestal, swimming rapidly toward the surface through the dissolving data.
He broke the surface and landed heavily on the rocky shoreline.
The world was ending.
