The abyss trembled, shards of Prismarine fire spinning wildly around Vemy as the Warden's radiant spiral expanded, each pulse tearing at the edges of reality. The clash of order and chaos sent shockwaves that distorted the very fragments of the void, turning space into a storm of jagged light.
Vemy gritted his teeth, feeling the Prismarine within him resonate—not as fire, not as a weapon, but as something alive. His pulse matched the rhythm of the shards orbiting him, and suddenly, clarity pierced through the chaos.
[Prismarine Affinity: 100% → Overload Threshold Reached]
[System Lock Override: Prismarine Break Level 2 Initiated]
The shards around him stopped scattering. They reformed, sharp and synchronized, slicing through the waves of the Warden's radiance. Each fragment acted like an extension of his body, responding instantly to thought, instinct, and will.
The Warden's twin halos contracted, forming a spear of pure light aimed directly at Vemy. Time seemed to stretch as Vemy's Prismarine shards lashed out, intercepting the attack with a symphony of sparks and fractured fire. The sheer force of the collision cracked reality in streaks of fractured void.
"You've awakened… more than I expected," the Warden's voice echoed, layered and distorted, like the remnants of shattered worlds.
Vemy's body burned with raw energy, pain lancing through every nerve. But instead of faltering, he let the Prismarine surge through him, letting it dictate movement and attack in perfect unison. Wings of jagged crystal extended fully, arcs of light trailing every motion.
[New Ring Manifested: Prismarine Convergence]
A new ring of jagged shards spiraled around him, each fragment humming in resonance with his soul. It wasn't just a weapon—it was an extension of his being, a living manifestation of defiance against the Warden's infinite control.
Vemy's spear pulsed with the same energy, the tip glowing with concentrated Prismarine light. "I don't just endure," he growled, voice echoing through the abyss. "I transcend."
The Warden's spiral lashed outward in a wave meant to obliterate, to erase the fire from existence. But Vemy didn't dodge. He thrust his spear forward, shards erupting like meteors, colliding with the wave in a burst of jagged brilliance.
The impact reverberated through the void, shaking fragments of reality into dust. For the first time, the Warden faltered—just slightly. A crack appeared in the spiral of pure light, a hairline fracture that screamed of imperfection.
Vemy's grin widened through bloodied teeth. "You see? Even perfection bends… to defiance."
He dove again, shards spinning like a cyclone, wings carving arcs of fire that tore through the Warden's defenses. Each strike pushed him further, and yet deeper, the Prismarine within him adapting, thriving, feeding off the chaos it had once mirrored.
🔥 Cliffhanger: Vemy's Prismarine mastery has reached a new threshold—he now wields a living ring of shards in perfect harmony with his will. But the Warden still stands, and the abyss itself is beginning to fracture under their combined power. Can Vemy survive the next wave, or will the origin of the Rings claim him?
