Even though his physical form remained ensconced within the heart of the Hecatonchires Avatar, his right hand clenched a sapphire orb – a tangible embodiment of the authority once commanded by Satan over this disintegrating infernal plane.

"Impossible..." Satan's voice quavered with disbelief, his visage contorting in shock. The unfolding tableau shattered the very conventions that governed the knowledge within the Curtained World.
