135 Awaken

Apophis opened his eyes.

Below him, the ground had turned to purple plasma.

The once great city of Nokful had been wiped off the map, replaced with a veritable sea of plasma. It was both beautiful and terrifying.

Above him, the sky had turned black. Huge rain clouds had formed from the incredible heat and then had burst, cooling the molten ground.

Apophis was overcome with a cold sweat. Had he destroyed the planet? And he'd only compressed his attack to a relatively small degree compared to his full potential. Apophis had originally wanted to compress the attack by billions more times, but had he done that, he might have destroyed the entire solar system!

The power of this flame outpaced everything that he'd anticipated.

Mechanically, purely by reflex, Apophis opened the planet's general chat to see what people were saying about this event. It wasn't until the chat window was already opening that he realized everyone else might be dead.
