The Godhand leader smirked as he surveyed the devastation they had caused, the ashes of Umbra's children still lingering in the air. His eyes, devoid of empathy, glowed with a malicious intent. "This is just the beginning," he said, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
Raising his hand to the sky, he chanted an incantation, and a tear in the fabric of reality opened above them. A wave of pure, overwhelming power radiated from the rift, and within moments, countless Absolute Beings, angels, and higher-ups poured through the portal. Their forms flickered with raw energy, each one more terrifying and powerful than the last.
From beings cloaked in divine light to creatures of unimaginable darkness, their sheer presence weighed down on the battlefield like an oppressive storm. The Mother and The Father took a step back, their faces grim, knowing that the balance of power had just shifted dramatically.
"You," the Godhand leader pointed at the newly arrived beings, his voice commanding and absolute. "Kill them all. Show no mercy. Make them feel every ounce of pain, suffering, and despair."
The angels, with wings that blazed like suns, took flight, descending upon Umbra's wives like meteors, their swords gleaming with divine light. Selene, ever the warrior, summoned blood-red weapons from the air, firing at them with pinpoint accuracy, but even her formidable power faltered beneath the relentless assault.
A wave of Absolute Beings surged forward, their attacks coming from all sides. Nyxara summoned her demons, who howled and snarled, engaging in brutal combat with the approaching enemies. But for every demon Nyxara summoned, for every spell Aeloria cast, the reinforcements seemed endless.
In the chaos, Akari led the charge, sword in hand, cutting through angels and higher-ups alike. Her blade danced through the air, each strike fueled by the rage and sorrow of her fallen children. She fought like a lioness, unrelenting in her pursuit of vengeance, but even she was beginning to falter under the weight of their overwhelming numbers.
"More… more of them," she growled under her breath, realizing how dire the situation had become.
Just then, an angel descended from the sky, its blade slicing through the air, targeting Seraphina. She barely had time to react, raising her arm in defense. The sword struck her, and pain surged through her as it severed deep into her flesh. She gasped, her body jolting from the shock, but even in her agony, she managed to block the next attack with her other arm, which was now trembling from the force.
Meanwhile, the Absolute Beings continued their onslaught, targeting Umbra's children scattered across the battlefield. Another wave of darkness swept through the crowd, and once again, more of Umbra's offspring fell, their cries cut short as their bodies were mercilessly extinguished.
Selene screamed in fury as she watched more of their children perish. Her eyes blazed with bloodlust, but even her might could not protect them all. She lunged forward, slicing through multiple enemies, but for every one she felled, more came to take their place.
"You monsters!" she bellowed, her voice cracking with rage. "I'll kill you all!"
Aeloria, with blood pouring from her wounds, summoned every spell in her arsenal, her incantations filling the air with crackling energy. Lightning, fire, and raw destructive magic tore through the battlefield, but still, the Godhand's forces pressed forward. One of the Absolute Beings materialized behind her, slamming her to the ground with a brutal strike, her body skidding across the battlefield as she struggled to rise.
"More children are gone," Akari growled to herself as she swung her sword at another angel. "No, I won't lose any more."
But despite their determination, despite their raw strength, the enemy forces continued to hurt Umbra's wives, breaking bones, cutting deep gashes into their skin, and reducing more of their children to ash. Each death sent ripples of grief through them, pain unlike anything they had felt before. The cries of their children echoed in their minds, driving them to the edge of despair.
Yet the Godhand stood watching, indifferent to the destruction they had ordered. They reveled in the chaos, their eyes reflecting their satisfaction.
The Godhand leader watched as another of Umbra's children was brutally struck down. "Your legacy will end here," he declared coldly. "Umbra's family, his power, everything he loves—will be obliterated."
