BOOOOM!
Golden light exploded once again, more intense than before.
This time, it pierced through the ceiling, soaring high into the heavens, its blinding brilliance cutting through the sky.
Everyone in the city witnessed it.
The light was so powerful, so all-encompassing, that it couldn't be ignored even if they tried.
People on the streets, in their homes, and across every corner of the city dropped to their knees in unison, bowing their heads to the ground.
Even the angels who had been observing in the chamber was stunned.
It was as if time itself had paused, giving way to the ancient power that had always been above them.
A figure stepped out of the now empty Basin.
His eyes glowed with a brilliant gold, the intricate pattern of a cross etched deep within them.
He wore a white robe, trimmed with golden lacing that shimmered with every movement.
Above his head, 16 halos floated in perfect harmony, their glow matching the brilliance of his flowing golden hair.
