CONTROLLING the Abyss was harder than Tilly thought.
Of course, summoning it was easy since she had always felt like the Abyss was a part of her body.
[It’s not listening to !]
Tilly wanted the Abyss to only devour the Hellfire burning on top of Kiho’s stomach, but she could feel that it wanted to devour everything.
Hence, she closed her hand tight until the Abyss returned to her soul.
"Are you okay, Tilly?" Luna asked worriedly. "What happened?"
"The stupid Abyss tried to swallow everything in this room– including ," Tilly said, catching her breath. Summoning the Abyss and forcibly closing it down took a toll on her body, after all. "I wonder what I should do to make it listen to ."
Tilly raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? Is it just or you’re getting ruder day by day, little miss? I don’t mind you speaking informally to because you’re probably older. But treating like an idiot is a little too much, isn’t it?"
Luna, who looked offended in Tilly’s face, knitted her eyebrows. "The Black Fla dares to treat you like an idiot, Tilly?"
"She’s acting like a know-it-all."
"The audacity..."
That was true.
The Black Fla used to be a lancholy child who often acted like it hated the world. But she beca "cheerful" recently.
[Well, it’s not the right to care about that.]
"I rember you telling to turn the Abyss into a weapon," Tilly said, getting straight to the point this ti. "Why did you tell to do that?"
Oh.
Things were started to make sense now.
"So, you’re saying that the Abyss is suddenly confused about its purpose for existing?"
Her heart thumped hard and fast against her chest when the realization hit her.
[So, the Abyss wasn’t trying to devour everything in the room– it was trying to absorb Kiho’s soul!]
Thank goodness she imdiately shut it down.
[I almost killed my husband accidentally...]
"Alright. I understand now," Tilly said, then she looked at Kiho worriedly. Her husband might be a Beast God, but even a god like him would die if his Core lted because of the Hellfire. "Can we turn the Abyss into a weapon in thirty minutes?"

"ROARKE, Jason, Maddox, Braxton," Winchell said, calling the Keepers who were there one by one. "Can I borrow your strength for the last ti?"
For the last ti, yes.
Because, right at that mont, he was fighting against Kyro with his life on the line.
He needed his full strength, so he asked the Keepers to "borrow their strength."
[I’m asking them to return their power to , which will no doubt end their lives if I lost and died.]
And he had to ask so abruptly because he didn’t have ti to explain.
Right now, they were inside the sphere of red fla that he made to hide and protect them from Kyro’s continuous attack. But there were cracks all over the barrier that he made, and it was only a matter of ti before it completely collapsed.
Winchell clenched his hands. "I’m sorry."
"Please don’t apologize to us, my lord," Roarke, the child he considered his child with Luna, said. "We were planning to give you back our power anyway even if you didn’t ask us to."
"It sucks to be apart from the Supre one again, but this is for her protection," Jason added. "We don’t mind disappearing for good if it’s for the Supre’s sake."
"We’ll entrust the Supre’s protection to Wong and Kelsi," Maddox said, ntioning the Keepers who weren’t there with them at the mont. "They’re the strongest among us anyway."
Braxton nodded in agreent with what his twin brother said. "So please don’t hesitate to use us, my lord."
Winchell smiled, but it was a bitter one. "Thank you," he said sincerely, shutting his eyes tight. "Let’s end Kyro together."

TSK.
Kyro clicked his tongue when he tasted blood in his mouth.
The temporary shell that he was using was already on the verge of breaking down. After all, he had been using the Hellfire for a while now.
[I have to end it now.]
Kyro raised both of his hands, his palms facing the sphere of red fla where Winchell was hiding with his little flas called the ’Keepers.’
He was about to release a ball of Hellfire stronger than what he had used on Kiho earlier when, suddenly, the sphere of red fla exploded. And then it was followed by a strong burst of divine power.
Oho?
Kyro smirked when Winchell finally erged from the flas.
[His wings have grown bigger, and his flas stronger.]
"You’re worse than a roach," Kyro said while shaking his head. "Just when will you drop dead, Winchell?"
"Have you forgotten that I’m the Red Phoenix?" Winchell said, scoffing. "No matter how many tis you kill , I’m going to rise from the ashes."
He just smirked at the Red Phoenix’ baseless confidence.
"Let ask you one thing before I kill you, Kyro," Winchell said while glaring at him. "Is it true that you’re the Devil incarnate?"
He nodded because he had no intention of hiding it anymore. "Yes, that’s true."
"Since when?"
He tilted his head, smirking. "A little after Kalel was born the first ti."
The Red Phoenix knitted his eyebrows. "That long?"
"Of course, I didn’t beco the Devil right away," Kyro explained. "I’m saying I started to hate my divinity after Kalel was born. That was when I started looking for ways to lose my power as the Moon God until I rembered the Devil that was sealed in Hell." He smirked while rembering the past. "I let the Devil use my celestial body as his new vessel in order to free him from his seal.
Winchell scowled at him, obviously disgusted by Kyro’s story.
But he wasn’t done talking yet.
"The Devil didn’t take over my body right away– he couldn’t," Kyro explained, clutching his chest. "We had to do it slowly in order to hide his demon power with my divine power. I had to hide my real body and use temporary shells like the one I’m using now to mask the changes in . Hence, it took centuries before I finally rged with the Devil."
"Why?" Winchell hissed at him. "Why would you do that?"
"I hate the human race, but I can’t kill them while I’m the Moon God because of the stupid oath that we took when we beca gods," Kyro said indifferently. Then, in a very quick and smooth movent, he teleported in front of Winchell. Before the Red Phoenix could even react, he had already put his hand on top of his head. "And let show you why I ended up hating the humans I swore to love and protect."
