The moment the light faded from the undead ASB's eyes, both Jamie's Concretizations and Lapis' domain deactivated instantly.
The Galaxy Sword reverted to its original form, the cosmic crest above Jamie's head vanished, and the warped space surrounding him shattered like glass, dissolving into drifting motes of light and revealing the rest of Pinecone beyond.
As the ASB's bifurcated body came fully into view, cheers erupted from the fighters in the Amphitheatre, their morale spiking to a new high as they threw themselves at the remaining space beasts with renewed fervour.
Meanwhile, Jamie spat out a mouthful of blood as the backlash from pushing his power too far finally hit him in full force.
If not for his immortality, he'd already be dead.
His body broke down from the strain, only for it to regenerate the damage, then break down again, and regenerate once more.
This cycle of destruction and restoration left Jamie completely immobile.
