The Beyonder's physical incarnation revealed a cruel smile as his arm impaled Zatiel's chest, feeling the destruction of the hearts as his energy surged through the bloodstream.
Despite the severity of the wound, it was just the beginning. The Beyonder's energy erupted, petrifying the surrounding tissues. Any notion of an illusion or trickery was dismissed by the Beyonder, confident in its impossibility.
Zatiel's eyes widened in horror as the Beyonder's hand continued its petrifying onslaught.
"COUGH!"
The damage was so profound that the Samsara Thearch couldn't suppress a cough of blood. Abruptly, the shock and fear on his face vanished, replaced by a mocking, bloodied smile. His right hand continued to charge the singularity, while the left grasped the arm of the Beyonder's physical form.
A sense of foreboding gripped the Beyonder, sensing something amiss in the Samsara Thearch's behavior.
