A few minutes ago...
Just when Stygian diverted his gaze from Fenrir and the others and turned towards Alban, Jormungandr, who'd been captivated by the unfolding event with great interest, felt an irresistible force grip him. Before he could react, he was whisked towards Fenrir and the others with startling speed.

Ymir, the biggest among the four, effortlessly pulled Jormungandr towards himself with his spell, with a flick of his mighty hand caught his neck, and lifted him like a chicken with an emotionless expression.
"F*ck! What the hell are you doing?" Jormungandr, kicking his legs in the air while trying to break free from Ymir's grasp, exclaid angrily.
"Of course, we are retreating, you idiot!" Fenrir exclaid, her annoyance evident. "Couldn't you see that old bastard is more powerful than us?
Even after seeing that all four of us are Tier-4 individuals, he still dares to laugh, this only shows that he has enough confidence in himself to beat us all to death with ease," She cos in front of Jormungandr, and gives a powerful love paw on his head while speaking.
"Ouch, sorry, I was just distracted. You see, it is very rare for us to find a powerful opponent to fight. It's been centuries since I last fought with my heart's content," Jormungandr apologises embarrassingly while swinging his wing after being released by Ymir.
"Fighting for enjoynt and looking for death are two different things," Fenrir chided, her voice laced with disdain. "You should choose wisely your sparring partner to enjoy a harmless fight... And if you are so hungry for a beating, then I don't mind playing with you," While speaking she led everyone toward the hole in the sky they had made previously.
"Well, let's forget about it. I still have a lot of unfinished work to complete. Maybe so other ti," Jormungandr refused Fenrir's kind offer without any hesitation. After all, he knew his Big Sis's strength very well. Unless he had a brain problem, he would never choose to accept one side beating.
"Pity. I was curious to see the extent of your progress after all these years after all, you take care of an entire prison filled with evil dragons," Fenrir chuckled, a hint of disappointnt colouring her voice, but she didn't continue on this topic.
"Ymir, lend a hand in sealing this space rift. We need to erase our tracks as well. Mother would be livid if that evil mage traced our world's coordinates and sold them to soone more troubleso guy."
"Okay, but Captain, should we inform the Big Boss? I an, there is a high possibility that the evil mage would trace us back with his mysterious magic. The way he was looking at us, I don't think he would give up on us so easily," Ymir, who received the most importance from Stygian, couldn't help but shiver as he rembered those empty black eyes filled with lust and greed starring at him.
Even his hands, writing runes in the air to reseal the space rift, paused for a mont.
"Fine, Jor, lend Ymir a hand with the rift while I contact Mother. Sigh, she will probably beat us this ti, considering the ss we've made," Fenrir said helplessly and flowed towards a shimring barrier, its surface rippling like an underwater lake revealing a vibrant forest nestled within. With practised ease, she phased through the mbrane, vanishing from everyone's sight.
Currently, they were in the empty void outside the planet on which they lived. After Alban's dinsion was accidentally or intentionally connected to their planet's certain magic node, it ford a space tunnel between the two sides, serving as a temporary bridge. Myne had previously entered Alban's dinsion easily because the dinsion was open at that ti.
However, after that unknown demon entered his dinsion, Alban sealed it completely to extract the unknown demon's mories without any interruption. This is also the reason why Fenrir and others took so long to find Myne. Even after finding the space tunnel connecting both places, they had to spend a lot of effort just to break the protection barrier of the dinsion.
Thanks to Myne breaking the tower power source, they managed to do so; otherwise, there was a high chance that they could have never seen Myne again before Alban teleported his entire dinsion sowhere else in the infinite cosmos.
"Do you guys need my help?" Maya piped up, a tinge of resentnt lacing her voice, she felt she was forgotten by everyone and believed they were looking down on her due to her young age, couldn't help but ask with a frown.
Although she was always a lazy woman and never liked to take the initiative to do anything, but since they had helped her so much to rescue Myne, she felt like she owed them a favour and hastily wanted to return it. She didn't like owing favours to anyone; this feeling was not a pleasant one.
Ymir, however, cast her a gentle reprieve. "Thank you, but no need, little one. There is nothing you can do here. You are still too young for those things. Maybe after a few centuries of hard work, you can help us. But for now, your knowledge of runes is not profound enough.
Just wait there or return back. Although your space ring is of high quality, I still don't recomnd putting Myne and that little girl in there for too long."
Maya, like most children who consider themself genius, didn't listen to soone else's words until reality slapped them and brought them back to the right path. She stubbornly stayed in her place and started looking at Ymir and Jormungandr's work. She believed that she would surely understand what they were doing and show them they couldn't look down on her.
Bang!
Two minutes later, suddenly a jarring crack echoed through the void. Maya, whose head started to spin in confusion as she didn't understand anything, jolted awake from her dazed state. She looked at the space rift, now 80% closed, and saw a cardinal creak appear on it. She couldn't help but exclaim, "What was that?"
"Seems like our uninvited guest desperately wanted to enter our ho," Jormungandr said jokingly, but his expression changed the next mont when another creak appeared on the space rift.
"Damn! What kind of spell is that old geezer casting? He's single-handedly causing so much damage to the rift. If it continues like this, we might not be able to stop him for too long," Jormungandr muttered furiously, accelerating the repair process.
Although Ymir didn't speak, his thoughts were clearly the sa as Jormungandr's, his chanting intensifying in response to the escalating threat
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Maya blurted out, "I'm going to fetch Fenrir!" and darted towards the entrance of the space tunnel connected to their planet.
But Maya hadn't gone halfway when she encountered Fenrir striding towards her with an ugly expression. Evidently, her conversation with Mother hadn't gone well.
"What's the matter?" Although Fenrir wasn't in a good mood, she managed to calm herself down and asked with a frown, seeing Maya panicly rushing toward her.
"Big trouble. That old geezer is desperately trying to break the space rift. Jormungandr and Ymir might not be able to stop him for too long. They need your help," Maya blurted out, breathless with worry.
"Sigh, it is going to hurt a lot..."
"What?"
"Nothing. Let's go," Fenrir brushed off, turning and leading Maya back towards Jormungandr and Ymir.
When they ca back, they saw the space rift which had been repaired quite a lot, was now on the verge of collapsing. If nothing changed, it was a matter of seconds before Stygian greeted them with open arms and a wide grin.
"Okay, stop wasting ti, you two. Hurry up, we have to get out of the space tunnel before that guy cos here." Fenrir didn't waste ti and directly gave orders that shocked all three of them. They looked at her as if her next words didn't satisfy them, she would be in big trouble.
Although It was clearly a joke since even if all three of them tead up, they couldn't overpower Fenrir, the power of gravity is no joke.
"Mother's orders," Fenrir stated, her voice firm. "This ss is of our making, so we face the consequences. She wants us to fight with him, and she will only participate in the battle when we are on the verge of losing. But first, we lead him to our planet so Mother can intervene if needed."
Hearing that this was an order from their Big Boss, Jormungandr and Ymir didn't hesitate for a single second, quickly rushing toward the entrance of the space tunnel. This is a simple tacit understanding developed between all divine beasts, no matter what never question Big Boss's order.
Maya was still dumbfounded by the sudden shift in the situation, but Fenrir was too lazy to explain everything. She just grabbed her with her telekinetic power and hurriedly rushed away from the space rift.

With a sound like a mirror shattering, just as Fenrir threw Maya out from the space tunnel, the space rift finally reopened, and a colossal bone dragon filled with purple energy entered the space tunnel.
Stygian, who was standing on the bone dragon's skull in an aloof manner, scanned the surroundings and soon saw Fenrir, who gave him a disgusted look before vaulted the shimring water barrier and entering her ho planet.
"Very good. Let's see how long you can look down on ." Stygian, who clearly hadn't been so insulted in who knows how many years by soone weaker than him, muttered while gritting his teeth angrily. If not for the fact that his body had undergone multiple mutations, with his fierce temper he might have long ago had shattered his teeth by himself.
Even though even a blind person could see that there was definitely a trap or ambush waiting for him ahead, Stygian believed that in front of his absolute power, everything else was puny tricks. He lightly tapped on the bone dragon's skull with his staff, making it rush toward the space tunnel entrance.
