—— "Lord of the Nether Shadows"!
When you gaze into the Nine Nether Abyss, the abyss returns a message.
His name.
"You all are quite interesting," he said.
"But fate has been determined, you shall be sacrifices for life, as the prologue to my master's awakening."
Before his voice faded, the surrounding gray mist began to drift.
Taking the remnants as its center, the stain started spreading anew.
The entire city of Radiant Light once again plunged into absolute darkness, and amidst the howling shadowy winds emerged chilling specters. The doors of the Netherworld were now wide open, extending welcoming palms towards the living.
Thousands upon thousands of palms.
The Dusty Yonder Demigod and others, who had just begun to relax, abruptly changed their expressions.
A mythic being at the city's outskirts abruptly attempted to flee but was pierced by a falling shadow from the sky, never showing signs of life again.
Cold sweat poured down the Dusty Yonder Demigod's forehead.
