Coordinates lock as a purge protocol initiates and an orbital beam begins charging. At the scene, a chanting person admits, "My cultivation has dropped back to early Foundation Stage" and considers fleeing. An attacker orders, "Kill the man. Leave those two women alive." The chant fails when a figure issues a single killing command that instantly eliminates the primary target—Transcendent and Tribulation power prove useless. Someone shouts, "So this is the Void Fiend!" With the primary gone, systems lock onto secondary targets and the two women face an imminent orbital strike.
