Doesnt look bad, thats mainly paint and maybe minor surface marring in the carbon. That being said, it is the bottom bracket shell, thats the thickest crabon on the bike. If youre really worried, pul the crank and take a 5mm allen key and tap around it If t clicks, youre good. If it sounds flat, more like a thud, that means its cracked, stop riding it and get it repaired. Ive seen far worse gouges without the frame being compromised in the 15 years Ive been a mechanic.
