The Golden Star King's eyes widened in alarm as the massive burst of energy exploded across the sky. Before he could even begin to formulate a response or steady his thoughts, Cain's voice cut through the air like a blade of ice, sharp and merciless.
"Marlin's incarnated soul fragment within Lady Azure resonated violently with its true source," Cain stated, his tone cold and authoritative. "If she were at her peak, she might have withstood the pain—but clearly, that is no longer the case."

Tremors shook the foundations of the city as her soul's scream resonated through the air, causing fear to ripple through those who heard it. Cain's expression shifted as he turned his focus back to the Golden Star King.
"Lie to me again," he said, "and no matter what alliances you hold, no matter the cost, we will shed blood."
