The phenomenon inside the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode was that of a dazzling crimson red devil—one that possessed a disposition so domineering that even the scariest of demons in the world would cower in fear upon bearing witness to this absolute monstrosity.
Its size was immeasurable, and its proportions could be clearly seen, yet not seen all at the same time. It was almost as if the illusory Devil belonged to a different plane of reality—a plane of reality vastly transcending the one we live in.
However, it looked like this devil was not satisfied with its existence being witnessed by merely those in the Crimson Dimension, as it extended its terror-inducing form outside of the dimension, enveloping the Emonius Sect before moving onto what was once the Azura Kingdom.
It didn't take long before the illusory Devil was clearly visible over all the various plateaus and Squares that made up the Heaven Exploding Sect. And it didn't stop with just that, as even the countless squares outside the bounds of the Heaven Exploding Sect bore witness to the phenomenon conjured up by an evil man—a man adored by all—a man attempting to achieve something truly game-changing.
Azmodeus wished to further combine his aspects of existence, and the very core of his being would not allow a single thing to ignore this momentous occasion. Even the bugs and ants were not spared.
The two gods were no exception to this phenomenon, as there was a resplendently lit location deep within the Kingdom of Light.
Inside this luminescent space, there were an abundant number of spiraling, iridescent pillars that appeared to stretch upward for infinity, and at the very center of these pillars, there lay an ostentatiously decorated mansion.
Jewels and crystals of utmost resplendence hung off the overhanging shillings and unnaturally placed statues of a woman who possessed unparalleled beauty.
All of these statues were placed on top of the mansion, and inside this opulent mansion, which possessed an even more glitzy interior, there lay a room.
It was a room that seemed almost ordinary when compared to the rest of the lavishly white and gold mansion. And it was inside this very room that a woman who looked nothing short of divine awoke with an abrupt opening of her cross-shaped, pupil-centered eyes.
"So he has awakened, huh...? The one that man spoke of..."
Her voice was soft and melodic yet contained a certain degree of lethality as she flipped her golden gaze across the simple dressers and chairs she kept within her private quarters.
An imperceptible gleam flashed past his red, misty eyes as he appeared to be thinking deeply about something.
It was only after a few seconds of contemplation that his gaze glossed over. "It looks like the time is nigh," he said.
Upon uttering these words, his tall slightly muscular figure blurred.
FWIP!
He appeared atop his limitlessly large castle, overlooking the deep night that enveloped his city below.
The cool night breeze blew his long, snowy white hair in the wind as he looked in a completely different direction.
"After so many eons of preparation, the time finally approaches... For us to become one... For the cycle to be broken... Those princes above... They will pay dearly for underestimating us...
Your birth... your creation... your destiny... Everything will one day align, and when that happens, you will understand—you will accept.
After all, everything has a price, does it not...?"
The ashen-faced God of Darkness stood atop a pointed tip of his castle, unmoving and lost in his own thoughts, pondering something that even the Goddess of Light would not be able to comprehend.
However, such brooding didn't last forever...
As he watched the moon rotate a little further inside the pitch black, star-speckled blanket that enveloped it, he vanished from view, disappearing into the twilight night.
