Supervolcano Eruption Destroys City at Crater Edge
A cinematic disaster sequence in which a supervolcano erupts beneath a modern city built along a crater rim. The ground splits, skyscrapers collapse, lava rivers flood downtown streets, and fireballs and shockwaves tear through the sky as the camera sweeps low through the destruction.
Prompt (original, unmodified)
A massive supervolcano erupts beneath a modern city built along the crater edge. The ground splits open, skyscrapers breaking apart as rivers of lava burst through the streets. The eruption launches enormous fireballs into the sky while shockwaves shatter windows across the city. Camera sweeps low through erupting fissures and collapsing buildings as volcanic ash darkens the sky. Supervolcano city destruction, lava rivers through downtown, explosive eruption physics, cinematic firestorm lighting, 4K.
