Following a brief gathering with his ladies, Konrad set out to handle Rati's second issue. Sitting cross-legged within his chambers, the devil used his Truth Embodiment to connect to the minds of all deities within the Celestial World that were somehow aware or connected to Rati's presence in the Essence Nurturing Forest. Those included the likes of Surya, Durga, Daksha, their sect elders, Kama, and even the Warden. This time, Konrad saw through the Warden's eternal shroud, again frowning at the confirmation of what he previously felt.
Setting aside that news, Konrad rewrote their minds, convincing them that Rati was never there, to begin with, and replacing her presence with another top Mara elder. That elder then vanished from the Sea Dream Temple, and his life plate crumbled, thereby reducing the Mara elder count to six. By the time the nine suns rose, Konrad had completed the cleaning, and back in her chambers, Rati awoke from her slumber.
