"Secondary Detonation, initiated."
*BOOOOOM*
The first thing he felt was his body being pulled further in towards the center of the expanding light.
Then came the pain. Hao Xuan couldn't see anything but he could still feel it. It was a burning sensation so intense that his nervy endings gave out instantly.
It was a sudden burst of pain followed by weightlessness.
He didn't need eyes to see what was happening. His body was deconstructing, melting away cell by cell.
He tried moving away but it was like he was pinned to the mass of blue light. He just wanted to see what was happening around him but now that very same light source was about to devour him completely.
'Devour!'
Hao Xuan's mind jolted awake as if a bolt of lightning had just pierced his brain stem. A single word repeatedly echoed in his ears, getting louder each time.
It sounded like his own voice overlapping with another, something...inhuman.
'Devour'
'Devour!'
'DEVOUR!"
