Cayn sat in the back. Many thoughts were wandering his mind.
But more than anything, it was rage. Rage was about to consume him as he was watching his wife.
She has not asked for his help yet. And if she doesn't... And if she doesn't and die in the fight... He can only watch.
Why? Cayn is a half-omnipotent being. No one will ever die as long as he doesn't wish them to, as long as no one is stronger than him, for now.
But... if she doesn't ask for his help, this mortal body of hers... may.

Raist's laughter and the vile energy beaming from him brought terror to the gods behind Diana.
Diana was watching coldly, not fazed by him at all.
Why did these demons always invade their parties? Was it because they were supposed to be the most invulnerable drinking socially? Why prepare a war when the small demons will just end up eating more of their prey? What can armies of normal humans do in the face of absolute power?
Merely for their enjoyment, for their pleasure, or maybe, something else behind that.
Raist walked nonchalantly towards Diana, with little to no care about the others around him.
A pair of wings suddenly grew on his back. The pair of wings was that of an angel, white and majestic, but there was blood coming from Raist's back.
Ariel's eyes suddenly turned dark and his energy bursted. "My son's..." He murmured.
Raist's demonic eyes suddenly turned to look at him, "They were, too beautiful, I couldn't help it..." he smirked, so evilly.
A vein appeared on Ariel's forehead, and he disappeared. Appeared by Raist's side. His eyes tearing up. His hand clenched around a sword of light.
"NO!" Screamed Shiro, before disappearing too.
Raist's smirk widened, his devilish teeth showing wildly with the appearance of Ariel behind him and Shiro coming.
"Too late..." He said in a joyful voice.
UGH!
Ariel's breath stopped. His mouth opened and his eyes widened in shock. His body froze, hanging in the air with Raist's right hand piercing his chest.
"YOU!" Screamed Shiro as he unsheathed a black sword. He clenched his teeth angrily. A quick draw as he appeared by their side.
SLASH!
Raist was pushed a step back, his arm was cut in two, separating him from Ariel.
Shiro immediately his friend's body from falling.
Tap.
Before he could react.
Raist's right hand placed on his shoulder. His face close to his ear. "That's mine," he whispered with a smile.
Shiro's eyes widened. Then.
AAAHHHH! He screamed with everything he got, unleashing all of his dark energy as if he was a bomb.
Raist's smirk disappeared, and his eyes turned cold and murderous. "I hate when someone takes what's mine."
His right hand on Shiro's shoulder absorbed everything he unleashed as if it was nothing.
Shiro remained there puzzled, but not for long.
SWOOSH!
He was sent flying, breaking many walls of the palace.
Ariel's unmoving body remained, coughing.
Raist walked up to him, licking his lips and raising his hand making him fly towards him. His eyes stared at his wings. "Such a beautiful pair."
Suddenly behind him appeared three shadows.
Nu, Helia, and Morana, each with their own abilities.
But they were halted, froze in their place in the air.
"WHAT THE!" Their eyes looked at the ground, staring at the corpses' hands holding their legs appeared from the ground.
More and more started popping up as they struggle, slowly crawling up their bodies.
Borys, Aither, and Ryujin screamed behind them.
Their energies merged together, and the clouds and the sky trembled at their call.
"GET AWAY!"
"AAAAAHH!!" Screamed the three goddesses in unison as they burst their energies and spells against the corpses.
But, to no veil.
They seemed to absorb the magic and their grip became tighter.
Their eyes met up with the laughing Raist. "I can't believe I don't have to do it myself. HAHAHAHA!" He started clapping.
Suddenly Shiro appeared by the side and his swords cut the corpses open in a flash, and changed in a hurry to his panther form and held the three to leave, with Ariel in his mouth.
Raist was still laughing. "Good job, good job." He applauded him.
The thunder rumbled and fell, blinding them after making sure Raist's figure was sure and well hit by it.
BOOM!
The palace shattered and fell to crumble.
There was nothing but the dark clouds and the blue moon before them now.
The place hit by the thunder made a huge hole.
Shiro let go of Ariel from his mouth beside Amina and the others.
Everyone stood behind him, not willing to go and check.
The atmosphere turned quiet for a while, with the gods looking around with their eyes.
Suddenly a voice resounded above Shiro.
"What are we waiting for?"
Everyone dispersed in a flash away from the voice.
Their eyes met with Raist, laying in a lazy position in the sky, yawning.
"Well, since those two ain't making their move yet, might as well get it done now," he suddenly said in a serious tone.
The gods were confused by his words.
Some of them turned to Iris who was standing at the far back with no expression for a split second but suddenly changed to one that was worried.
Nobody seemed to notice.
"LOR- cough cough, Lord," Ariel tried to call.
"Yes, Ariel?" Iris suddenly appeared by his side, looking over his injury.
"P-Please help us..." He continued, begging.
Amina stood in front of the mortals.
They didn't know the identity of this woman, but the gods were calling her lord.
Many chatters started behind her but she was focusing on Iris.
"It's okay, it's okay, I am here now," said Iris softly.
Suddenly the tip of Amina's psyche shone brightly an inch away from Iris' throat.
Ariel's eyes widened, "WHA-!" Just as he was about to curse he seemed to remember that she was Cayn's mother.
"This is the primordial god. the god of this galaxy! Put your weapons away!" He said instead.
But Amina remained in the same position with the same cold unmoving eyes.
