0The trembling began long before the sky split.
At first it was just a low vibration beneath the ruined streets of Limbus City, a distant growl no one could place. Then came the pulse—an emerald flare erupting from the Command Block as Romeo stood atop the shattered Ministry Tower, clutching it like a stolen crown. The air warped around him, cubes of broken geometry spiraling upward into a vortex.
