Akasan stood atop the World Monolith, with Beelzebub and Lilith beside him.
Lilith frowned concerningly. "Are we really doing this?"
Akasan looked her way. "Having second thoughts? You're not planning on betraying me, are you?"
"Please, have some faith. A Demon Lord's word is their bond. We aren't goblins."
Beelzebub bent down and put his hands on the top of the wall. He muttered words in some demonic language.
The scripted runes on the sides of the wall began to light red. They went around the whole world until the entire wall was lit.
Akasan stared out at the vast ocean that covered half of the planet— an ocean that was created through magic.
The World Monolith started to sink into the earth. As it did, the illusions faded back into reality.
Lilith was surprised. "Everything really is gone…"
Akasan clenched his fists. He was reminded of the day 18 years ago that spelled the end for the Earth and its people.
