Chapter 1412: Time Vs Space

Garcia's initial curiosity sparked into a maelstrom of astonishment as the very air around him vibrated, rippling outwards in silent waves like an invisible detonation. The colossal sword he gripped aloft, once gleaming with reflected sunlight, became a conduit of darkness, its metallic sheen morphing into an illusory void that seemed to devour the light itself. The world around him dissolved into a disorienting kaleidoscope of indistinctness - the towering peaks, the verdant expanse, the azure canvas of the sky - all blurring into a swirling mess of unreal colors, like ink bleeding into water. Tiny fragments of reality, like shards of shattered glass, flickered ominously on the blade's edge before erupting into the air in a miniature fireworks display.
