As they braced to accept their fate as the destruction finally reached them, a voice thundered through the silence, resonating in every ear like a sudden storm:
MIRROR DIMENSION
As though reality itself answered his summons, time seemed to halt for a fleeting moment, the collapsing heavens, the fracturing space, even the earth's descent into ruin stood still.
Then, in an instant, it all surged back into motion.
As reality resumed, the fractured space splintered further, each shard resembling a fragment of glass, within which danced a different reality.
Then, as if defying its own chaos, the rupture inverted, the shards weaving themselves inward, converging around the soldiers, drawing them into an alternate space.
The soldiers stood frozen, their eyes wide with awe and disbelief. Never before had they witnessed such a spectacle, so terrifying, yet so breathtakingly beautiful.
The Demon Monarch's direct subordinates, along with the other demons, stared in stunned silence.
