[Void]
Seeing the enemy's number covering the horizon, all of the standby troops on top of Lonsdaleite centipede bridge begun to shiver in fear as they got overwhelmed and pressure just by the mere size of the enemy forces
"No way! Is this for real?"
"Enemy is 500,000,000 in number!!! What can a measly 598,670 troops can do?"
"This is suicide!"
"We're all gonna die!"
Soon after voices broke out as the troops for the raiding army begun to panic, due to that the leaders of different species then became busy in keeping the morale of the army as stable as it can be
*********
On the other hand as the raiding army's morale started going down due to the numbers of the enemy, the defending troops however were all consist of all the gathered Voidlings in this part of the realm
Leading them from behind was Asuto together with the four people that he corrupted and turned to his own puppet
As they watched the gigantic enemy carrying the army that was gonna attack them, Asuto couldn't help but wonder why would Kaido do such a thing, since both of them are now going for each other's life and are both gonna clash using their own formed armies, the two of them then started outsmarting each other as they try to predict the moves they are going to do
As this representation, it is as if both of them were having a match of chess with both armies ready to clash against each other
As brazen as he can be Asuto used some kind of magic from his era to project his image on top of the bridge where Kaido is located
Apparently Kaido was sitting beside Seralyn's arm chair pondering about something, until Seralyn shrieked a little as the raiding troops spread out upon seeing the targeted general on the other side
Donned on his heavy black armor, Asuto then slowly approached Kaido who was besides Seralyn's armchair, but due to that Seralyn begun to get scared as she saw Asuto approaching her
Seeing this Belial and Marxcus blocked Asuto path as their killing intent rose, following this both of them were ready to launch an attack until suddenly Kaido spoke up
"Save your energy! That thing is just a projection, it looks real but it's not at the same time, so no matter what you do to it, it will be useless"
Hearing that both Belial and Marxcus were startled until they backed away under the order from Seralyn
Seeing this Asuto sighed as he talked
"I can't believe you really have the gall to barge in hear and try to destroy my lifetime hard work" said Asuto
At this moment Kaido stood up and went infront of Seralyn as he sized up Asuto
"Destroy? You must be mistaken, I'm not here to destroy anything you make, I'm here to kill you... Everything you see here is the preparation I made just to get your head, I'm quite generous aren't I?" Asked Kaido
Hearing that Asuto even became more confused as he looked around and somehow calculated their numbers
"A few hundred thousands? You must be joking me... Do you think this small number could defeat me?" Asks Asuto
"It's 598,670 you dumb ass! Learn how to count and don't generalize it all, cause it only make you look weak" scowled Asuto
With that Asuto then glanced at Kaido and asked
"Your that confident on killing me aren't you?"
"Of course, if not then why would I come here? You can summon some shit for all I care, but I'll kill you first before everything finishes, since I'm generous"
At that Asuto somehow sighed as he then said slowly
"Since your here then why don't you stay?"
"Stay?"
"Stay forever that is... After all this realm will be your grave"
"Hahahaha! You must be mistaken, the one who will die in this fight will be you"
At that instant the projection ended as it disappeared on the bridge thus cutting the communication
With that Asuto then raised his sword and pointed towards the approaching enemy
"Swarm them!"
As if a command has been given, the very first troop that Asuto sent roared as they charged forward by a huge wave
The first wave consisted of void ghouls that was 5x more stronger than ordinary ghouls of the undead, this this has no eyes and only rely on the sonar waves that they sent which is akin to radar as they approached the huge Lonsdaleite centipede bridge
Seeing the enemy wave that Asuto sent, Kaido then made his move as he pushed the crowd away and stood at the very edge of the bridge
At this thought of a plan to greatly reduced their numbers, only Larval and himself knew this tactic as Kaido held back on leaking this to the other people
Since that was the case, the moment Seralyn saw Kaido at the edge of the bridge, she herself suddenly had a bad feeling about this as it soon was proven true
Seeing a huge army going up against them, Kaido then smiled as he putted his hands on his pocket and took a huge breath in
At this moment the other Calamity Class Beings immediately sense that Kaido would do something big so they didn't dare to stop him at this point
On the other hand the other leaders that they had invited became worried of his action as they tried to dissuade him
"Oi! What are you doing on the edge?" Asked Maltheus
"Get back in there! Do you want to die?" reacted Farion
"Are you planning to suicide? The height we're currently at is so high that if you jump recklessly you might injure yourself!" Said Arachne
Since all the leaders were unfamiliar of Kaido's strength, they then begun to wonder if Kaido was somehow crazy to just stand on the edge of the bridge just like that
But this feeling intensified when Kaido suddenly took a step and fell off the Lonsdaleite centipede bridge
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
With series of exclamations all the raiding army started to panic as they though of Kaido killing himself to escape this nightmare (a suicide jump)
But at the very next moment, they will be stunned speechless as they witnessed a natural disasters spreading through the enemy's ranks
As Kaido fell of the bridge, he then forcefully moved himself as he turned a full 180° to make him land on his feet
After jumping from the height of a seemingly 30 foot tall fall, Kaido then manipulated the matter around him to reduce the velocity of his fall causing his landing to be as silent as the wind
Seeing that everyone was stupefied as Kaido landed on his feet
But that wasn't all soon after Kaido spread out his arm as he then Instantly tried to change the atmosphere of his surroundings and change the very component around him
As if a system was running to his mind, his brain then started adjusting the knowledge he learnt and slowly analyzed the atmosphere density of the void and forcefully changing its components
As if a virus has infected the void, every cells and matter around Kaido's range of about 500 feet radius begun to change as every part of it started to tremble and repeated the process of destroying, changing, reacting, and processing
Soon after the ordinary components around that range completely changed, it finally became a dangerous chemical air around it as the once ordinary oxygen became Botulinum toxin that destroys every matter on everything it touches
Soon this void ghouls then charged inside of this range as they chemical toxin started to infiltrate their own system, which is unknown to them
Kaido on the other hand started to walk forwards to further extend the reach of his range and engulfed more ghouls in it
Soon the chemical gas in the air started to thicken as it now resembled a sea of fog below the Lonsdaleite centipede bridge
But as soon as the raiding troops gazed on it, their whole body begun to shiver in fright as they soon saw this chemical toxin fog swept across their feet

[Elven Nation]
As the fierce war broke out in the void, the situation here at hand was quite different as Hibiki who was donned on his armor then soon followed Horus instructions as they went towards his tower
Apparently the reason why Hibiki, Alduin, and Elijah followed him was because Horus claimed that he can get the four of them into the void with his own magic and not railing to illegally open a rift since doing so would lead then into a random location
As they followed him Elijah then come up towards Alduin as he asked while looking at his mechanically supported arm
"So what did you propose to Hibiki that made you join him into this suicide mission?" Asked Elijah as he sized up Alduin
Hearing this Alduin then gave off his own question
"Alright I'll answer you, but you'll have to answer this... You know that this is a suicide mission with a survival chance of less than 40%, perhaps this maybe of 10% chance of survivability, how did you convince your mother to let you join him?"
"What do you mean?" Asked Elijah
"Don't try to fool me kid! I saw the reaction of your mother when she saw you left, her face was full of worry which proved that this void is really a dangerous place, so why did you follow him knowing it's a suicide mission?" Cleared Alduin
Hearing that Elijah gave a sigh as he replied after a few moments of silence
"I'm a hero, it's my duty, upon hearing this I realized my duty as a hero haven't ended yet... Immediately I knew that my strength is still needed... The moment I took notice of this, I immediately sensed that this is what I have to do, my own purpose... So without any hesitation I will do anything to save this world, even if I have to die for it"
With that Alduin was silent for a bit as he looked towards Hibiki's back and said
"I think my reason is redemption, it's the same for that guy... When I asked his reason I felt a spark as if both of us were looking for something... Who knew it would be redemption, but whatever all I have to do is properly do my job and that's it..." Said Alduin
"Redemption huh! That responsibility is quite heavy"
"Indeed it is"
Soon after Horus finished his preparation as he then started writing in formation as he used runic magic to legally transport them into the void
Apparently for Horus even he doesn't even guarantee his survival once he got involved in this, so for safety measures the day before this happened Horus officially transferred everything to Cara as he stepped down as a guardian and passed everything to her
With a long sigh Horus looked at Cara for one last time as he said
"Cara... Take care"
With the tunes finished assembling, the four of them then disappeared on the tower and transported towards the void
As for Cara who was left behind, she was somehow stunned by such words that she immediately knew that Horus left without any intentions of coming back
Bowing her whole body in respect she then pledge that she will protect the records as an unknown feeling of emptiness swelled up inside of her
For some reason she shed a tear upon Horus departure, but she knew already that this would happen as Horus immediately told her a day before that he will leave for good and never return, which mean this transport to that realm has a high chance of death
With tears of respect flowing down her face Cara then heaved lightly as she bowed once more and said in a slightly sad tone
"Horus... Great ancestor, grandfather... Farewell"
