CRACK!!
Typhon's relentless assault ceased abruptly. He tilted his head, gazing upwards at the imposing black mountain.
Gaea, who had been focused on maintaining her shimring barrier, turned, a triumphant smile gracing her lips.
Campe, Charon, and the formidable Abyssal Archangels halted their advance, a flicker of unease widening their eyes.
Hades and Poseidon, propelled backward, and landed gracefully beside Gaea. Relief and satisfaction painted their faces as they observed the network of cracks spiderwebbing across the black mountain's surface.
Ruler Typhon did it.
BOOOM!!
Instinctively, the assembled group leaped skyward as the mountain groaned and finally succumbed, collapsing in a deafening roar that sent plus of dust and smoke billowing in every direction.
BOOOM!!
This?!
Typhon, montarily disoriented by the cataclysm, looked up. His eyes widened in astonishnt as a radiant golden gateway materialized in the sky above the ruined mountain.
***What is that?***
****The Queen.****
Typhon answered, his voice laced with dawning comprehension. But his stunned gaze was fixed on seven distinct beams of pure light that erupted from the mountain's debris and swiftly ascended, disappearing into the swirling vortex of the golden gateway.
****This?! She's leading them to sowhere else!!**** He roared, a note of shock underscoring his disbelief.
WHOOSH!!!
A powerful windstorm erupted around them, escalating into a miniature hurricane. Before anyone could react, an irresistible force seized Typhon, Gaea, Hades, Poseidon, Campe, Charon, and all the Abyssal Archangels, pulling them inexorably towards the expanding gateway.
The golden portal swelled in size with alarming speed, and in less than a minute, it had swallowed every last being from the Abyssal realm.

[ARISA.]
Erika knelt before Arisa gate, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon and the seemingly endless ranks of demonic figures arrayed before them.
"Can we call everyone back?" Jennifer asked, her footsteps soft as she approached.
Erika rose, a soft sigh escaping her lips. "Not yet… We don't know the full situation. For now, they should remain within the ga city."
"Okay." Jennifer nodded, her attention shifting to the humanoid demons standing guard before them. "I think we have enough force here to repel another attack."
"If my guess is correct, you're Michael's wife, right?"
Erika and Jennifer turned in unison, surprised to see the two demonesses, Liliana and Aria, approaching them with graceful strides.
"Queen Liliana and Queen Aria." Erika said, a slight stiffness in her tone. The title felt foreign on her tongue, but she recognized the respect due to these powerful allies who were currently offering their aid.
"I believe they are both Empresses, not Queens," Jennifer murmured, ever the stickler for details.
Erika shot her a brief glare.
"Please, Liliana is fine by … I simply wanted to express my gratitude." Liliana said, a warm smile gracing her features, her crimson eyes holding Erika's gaze.
"Thank you? We should be the ones thanking you." Erika replied, a hint of confusion in her voice.
"No… Michael saved us when we were far less powerful. I never had the opportunity to thank him properly… I had hoped for that chance now, but it seems that wish will remain unfulfilled." Liliana said, her smile tinged with a touch of wistfulness.
"Well, at least we can ensure your safety here." Aria added, her expression earnest.
Erika and Jennifer exchanged a look before nodding at the two demonesses.
"Thank you." Erika said, a small, genuine smile finally breaking through.
"Yes, we are truly grateful for all your help… You and Aaron's family have been an incredible support during this crisis." Jennifer added her heartfelt appreciation.
"It is nothing," Liliana waved off their thanks with a dismissive gesture.
"Yes."
Emily stepped out from the Arisa gateway, a bright smile illuminating her face.
DING!!!
A piercing, agonizing alarm shrieked directly into the minds of every single VRG player. The sound was so intensely loud that players across both realities crumpled to their knees, clutching their ears with expressions of pure agony.
"What the hell!" Erika hissed, her body wracked with pain as she knelt beside Jennifer, who was similarly afflicted.
"This?! What is happening?!" Jennifer gasped, her face contorted in discomfort.
Liliana, Aria, and Emily, were instantly alard, exchanging bewildered glances.

"You did good, son. I can't believe we actually survived this," Joker said, a wide, relieved smile stretching across his face.
"All thanks to our allies," Tyson replied, echoing the sentint. Joker and Commander Wang both nodded in agreent, their gazes sweeping over the fortified city walls.
DING!!
The sa mind-shattering alarm ripped through their consciousness. Commander Wang, Joker, Tyson, and every single player stationed on the wall instantly collapsed on their knees, their hands clamped over their ears, their faces etched with excruciating pain.
"What!?!" Joker gritted out, beads of sweat popping out on his forehead.
The agonizing sound wasn't isolated to their group. Every single VRG player, both within the relative safety of the ga city and scattered across the ravaged landscape of Arisa, was now on their knees, battling the invisible assault on their minds.
