"The Gate of Severance has opened!" The 10th commander shouted as he commanded his soldiers to ready themselves.
An army covering the entirety of the depths of Hell itself stood in preparation.
Not even a single out of a million floors were left alone. Either minority or majority, each floor did have some presence of the black demons.
Soon, the world went dim...
Lightning surged across the skies as the gate in front of the 10th commander lit up.
'BOOM'
A surge of energy was released as the gate opened. Hefty shockwaves were produced, and the igneous rocks beneath the armies cracked as bits of pebbles went flying.
The atmosphere went somber as the 10th commander's eyes narrowed. In reply to the hefty energy released by the holy gate. The 10th commander pushed his aura forward.
'BOOM'
Several explosions occurred simultaneously as the auras clashed.
A similar situation could be seen in the overworld.
As the Gate of Severance lit up, a similar energy came forward, producing shockwaves that sent bits of mud and rocks flying in the air.
As a reply, the seven men stepped forward, and their auras surged, combining into one as a retaliation.
Similarly, several explosions occurred at once as the army watched this show of strength with somber expressions.
Soon, the energy released by the gate started to die down. Eventually, fading completely.
However, this signaled the start of the battle.
The 10th commander, on the other side, locked eyes with the seven men as both parties started to move towards the black gate.
However, just before both parties could reach the gate, they shouted simultaneously.
"CHARGE"
The 10th commander and one of the seven men shouted as an infinite number of men clashed and charged towards the black gate.
The 10th commander, in an instant, had vanished from his spot. So was the case with the seven men.
Shockwaves were produced in an instant as the humans slaughtered the black demons.
One of the seven men was aiding the humans against the black demons. Seeing this, the 10th commander, currently battling with the other six men, screamed.
"Come forth, Judgement of Agony"
In an instant, the skies started to have a blood hue as the 10th commander transformed from a typical dragon to a serpent as giant as Apophis.
"Die"
Dragon's breath covered the whole battlefield, killing many humans as a result. Finally, the black demons had gotten the upper hand...
But not for long.
The seven men locked eyes with the 10th commander. However, two of them were smiling.
"Essence of Hellfire, Heavenly Agony"
"Come forth, Gia's Judgement."
In an instant, where there was blood. Flames surged out, and so did the earth. Leonel's red hair waved as he looked towards the 10th commander, with half of his body covered with flames.
"Wushang, aid me from the back," Leonel said as he looked towards Wushang.
Seeing this, Wushang smiled and nodded.
Realizing that Wushang had accepted the offer to aid him from the back, Leonel took a battle stance.
"Shall we begin? Blood-general?"
"I was waiting for you to say that. User of True Agony."
However, as all of this was happening, Rafael, inside the black hole, had finally opened his eyes.
In the meantime, a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky.
The mysterious black hole instantly absorbed the flames and the blood.
The whole battle had paused as everyone's eyes were directed toward the purple-colored black hole.
'Just what is happening?' the 10th commander thought in confusion.
Similar thoughts appeared in everyone's mind.
'RUMBLE'
The whole battlefield trembled as two blue eyes suddenly appeared inside the black hole that was covering the sky.
The eyes blinked once before closing.
However...
'BOOM'
In an instant, the black hole burst into purple light; purple flames covered the expanse of the battlefield as sparks of purple lightning flew forward in every direction.
Following it was the appearance of a child with white hair and blue eyes. His face had a somber expression as a mix of black and purple light surrounded him.
Soon, purple light burst into the place where the child was standing, flying everywhere once again.
The child's short-white hair waved upwards due to energy released as his white robes went flying, showing a black high neck beneath.
Rafael Crux...
Had returned...
