The cosmos was filled with various high-energy particles, most originating from the Sun.
Others came from Suns in other star systems, as well as white dwarf stars, neutron stars, and even black holes.
Normally, planetary magnetic fields and atmospheric layers provided shielding, maintaining relative safety.
But at that moment, all protections failed, and various particle rays bombarded the surface, generating large doses of ionizing radiation.
Human beings caught in it were equivalent to undergoing 100 CT scans instantaneously, their DNA chains shattered.
Their bodies immediately began acute internal hemorrhaging; tainted blood vomited from their mouths and their skin started to peel off.
Some of the high-energy rays had the effect of an "electric stove."
Certain rivers and oceans abruptly began boiling, with bridges built above them softening like noodles and breaking apart.
