"Am I still facing reality or a world of mad fantasy? Pinch me, I'm dreaming. The Red God…has been defeated?" Faced with this absurd conclusion, Celestia blanked out, unsure of how to process this result.
Granted that the fight took place in Mithras' Mandala, with rules and quirks that provided him with an overwhelming advantage, this conclusion still didn't make any sense. The Higher Planes' number one Ero Guru and God of War had lost his Inner Flames and gotten jumped by a Mortal Plane youth's fists and flames.
Heruka…had gotten jumped by one man!
Celestia had watched it all from start to finish, yet did not doubt that even if she screamed it for the whole world to hear, laughs and ridicule would be her only response. And she couldn't blame the world…because even she, the witness, couldn't believe her eyes.
