North Carolina Eastern Rift Valley.
BOOM!
A colossal boom erupted. In an instant, the mountains crumbled and the earth split apart as fierce winds swept thick clouds of dust into the sky. A low hum immediately followed, spreading between heaven and earth. The gravity throughout the entire great canyon instantly collapsed into chaos. Cliffs, boulders, trees, animals, rivers... Countless things were crushed to dust by the violent gravity, while countless more were flung upward, "falling" rapidly toward the sky only to be smashed into powder.
A hard-bitten, scarred-faced man in a military cap and uniform stood high in the air, his cold gaze fixed on the Black-robed Man below.
Terrifying gravity pressed in on the Black-robed Man, causing the space around him to crack and collapse like a glass mirror. The next second, he vanished, reappearing on a cliff three kilometers away. An exquisitely crafted Golden Magic Box materialized in his hand.
