Across the seven continents — North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and Antarctica — the heavens fractured like glass, spilling streaks of strange light across the world. Cities collapsed, oceans churned, and mountains cracked as if Earth itself were tearing apart.

From the shadows of the rupture came whispers of alien interference — fleeting glimpses of beings whose power dwarfed that of humanity. They came and went, leaving destruction in their wake, and the world trembled under their unseen hands.
