The energy towers pulsed violently, their surfaces fracturing under the unbearable strain of channeling more power than they were ever meant to hold. Crack after crack spiderwebbed across their gleaming shells, arcs of unstable light whipping through the air like serpents. This would be their last shot—there would be nothing left of them afterward—but none of that mattered now. What they were about to unleash would be nothing short of apocalyptic.
"RUMBLE!"
A deep, earth-shaking growl rolled through the mountain range as the towers reached critical output. Then, with a sound like the heavens tearing apart, beams of energy erupted skyward—colossal, radiant pillars so immense that the very air quivered around them. The sky blazed white, shadows fleeing before the all-consuming brilliance.
"NOOOOOOO!"
