Envy, too, had reached his absolute limit.
His breath was no longer that of a god but a dying ember, flickering against the wind.
And then, it happened.
The divine arrow... the very essence of his soul and will... finally exploded.
BBBBOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!
A blast unlike anything before tore across the sky. A deafening roar consumed the heavens as a ball of incandescent energy bloomed outward, swallowing all light, all sound, all space. It wasn't just an explosion...
It was like a god exhaling his final breath into the world.
The sky lit up in white-gold brilliance. The clouds didn't just scatter — they evaporated.
Then...
Only a stillness so complete that even the earth seemed to hold its breath.
Crack...
Snrr...
A tree splintered in the distance, still burning. Coals crumbled into ash. The stench of scorched earth filled the air.
The tendrils had already disappeared into nothingness.
