章 1189: Battle of the Black Skull (3)

It seemed as if the world was ending. 

Even more than during the battle against the titanic horde or in Falcon Scott, it seemed like the world was breaking apart. 

There had been clashes of similar scale in Antarctica, but at least there was some logic and structure to them. The thunderous roars of the railguns, the orderly formations of mundane soldiers, the power of the Awakened, the demented fury of the Nightmare Creatures — no matter how frenzied a battle was, there was a distinction between the clashing sides, at least. 

Today, it was just chaos. 

Thousands of Aspects tearing the ground and the sky apart. Awakened, Masters, Echoes, and enthralled Nightmare Creatures intertwined in murderous violence. Even the Saints were fighting each other, making the world shake with each strike.
