ZHDragon Invasion Through a Time Gate in a Futuristic Arena
A smartphone-style continuous POV video shot from inside a panicking crowd as a glowing circular time gate in a futuristic arena tears open and five dragons burst out. The camera shakes, whips, and loses framing like a frightened bystander filming, with no cuts, UI, or music. The sequence ends with the largest dragon breathing golden-orange fire across the sky.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
Use @[ref image] as the main reference for the giant circular silver arena gate, two colossal king statues, packed crowd, bright daylight sky, tall white towers, and smartphone POV from inside the crowd.\nA continuous horizontal smartphone video from a frightened bystander. The camera shakes naturally, pans, tilts up, stumbles backward, loses framing behind heads, raised phones, dust, flags, and running people. No cuts, no UI, no timestamp, no subtitles, no music.\nIn a colossal silver-white futuristic arena, the circular time gate stands closed at first, glowing softly with blue-white energy. The crowd is silent, tense, and filming. Suddenly, ancient runes around the gate light up one by one. A deep hum shakes the plaza. Dust rises, banners snap, and a controlled blue-white time vortex forms on the sealed gate surface.\nThe vortex spins faster, compresses into a vertical crack of light, then tears open with a violent shockwave. D1, a broad-horned dragon, bursts out airborne directly toward the camera. The crowd screams and breaks into panic, people ducking, falling, dropping phones, shoving, and running in every direction.\nThe camera whips left as D1 flies low over the crowd. D2, a long-necked sky serpent, emerges behind it. The camera swings back to the still-glowing gate as D3, a heavy armored drake, forces through the opening, followed by D4, a narrow-winged blade-like dragon slicing through the air. The gate remains active, bright, and unstable the entire time.\nFinally, D5, the largest dragon, fills the entire circular gate with glowing eyes, huge claws, armored chest, and massive wings. It erupts into the sky, spreads wider than the gate, roars above the arena, then breathes a huge golden-orange fire blast across the sky. Blue-white gate light mixes with orange firelight, illuminating the statues, towers, banners, dust, and fleeing crowd. The video ends with D5 dominating the sky while the time gate still glows behind it.\nNegative prompt: no galaxy portal, no space tunnel, no visible other world, no gate turning off, no dragons walking or landing, no calm crowd, no clean cinematic camera, no drone shot, no subtitles, no UI, no timestamp, no music.
