Sebastian stood alone right in the middle of the smooth and empty crater. The Grand Arena was completely silent. The hundred thousand spectators up in the stands were frozen, and their digital jaws practically hit the floor!
In his hand, the True City Core pulsed with a heavy and rhythmic heartbeat. It looked like a massive diamond, but it felt like holding a condensed star. It radiated a pure power that made the hairs on Sebastian's digital arms stand on end.
"Tournament is over," Sebastian muttered, his voice echoing in the dead silence. "Let's go build a real castle."
He tossed the massive diamond into his bottomless inventory. The moment the item crossed the threshold into his storage, the system finally caught up to the destruction he had just unleashed.
BING! BING! BING!
