Meanwhile, in the sky above the Sky Palace...
The thunderous roar of the heavenly lightning shook the Mortal Realm when it first descended. With the combined powers of Zushuatri and Savarosa, two existences at the peak of the legendary realm, they attempted to fend off the devastating punishment that came along naturally with defying the intended laws of nature and the world itself.
Despite Savarosa empowering Zushuatri's Mantra of the Sky: Twelve Cloud Summit with her Supreme Breath of Augmentation, the twelve layers of barriers did not last even a full second under the domineering force of the heavenly lightning. It was forcibly torn through like fragile sheets of paper, however, it was not without its own merits. It provided a brief window of opportunity that allowed for the Zushuatri and Savarosa to set up additional defenses.
