"Time to visit the Nether Realm." Adrian stated as he turned to his Netheros form.
Adrian then reached out in front of him as if he is physically touching something. A hazy door suddenly appeared in front of Adrian that has the properties of the Nether Mist. Adrian then summoned Sirius and told him to take out Nychta.
Sirius complied and immediately dove below the shadows and even deeper into the Abyss. A few seconds later, Sirius came out of the shadows with a small humanoid shadow being. Nychta cannot create a bigger body because she no longer has aid from the cursed artifact. He then looked at the quest that he has not done in so long.

Nychta looked terrified and even became almost tearful when it saw sunlight. A being made of shadows is actually very grateful to see sunlight which is something that should not happen. Adrian did not care about that though as he dragged Nychta using his hands while Sirius returned to the Soul Chamber.
Nychta suddenly felt something bad about the situation that she is in, but she could not fight back. All of her strength left her body trying to climb back up to the upper levels of the shadow realm. She actually felt suffocated in the Abyss which she was left only for a few minutes, but she actually thought that she was there for years.
"NO!" Nychta tried to struggle but Adrian did not care and dragged her to the entrance to the Nether Realm. Adrian does not have remorse for a being that will casually slaughter any being as he saw the trail of ghosts with grudges that followed Nychta.

[You have arrived in the Nether Realm.]
Adrian arrived with Nychta to the Nether Realm and his form immediately changed to a smaller Netheros True Form. When Nychta saw Adrian's form, she immediately felt all her existence screaming to get away from this being. Despite this, Nychta did not move an inch because Adrian has grasped her using her very soul.
If Adrian chooses so, he could torment Nychta to the utmost degree just by squeezing her soul a little. Adrian dragged Nychta like a doll as he slowly went deeper into the Nether Realm. The candle that the Goddess Nox has given Adrian suddenly came out of his inventory and lit up.
The candle lighting up symbolizes that the Goddess of Night is near the vicinity. Adrian walked a few more minutes and he finally arrived as the candle burned brighter in the area. Before him are two of the most powerful gods in the universe of Pandemonium.
"Champion Equinox, you have finally completed my request. You have done such a wonderful job." The Goddess Nox stated in her ethereal echoing voice that made one feel that they are comforted in a dark room.
"She had something that I also needed in a hurry as she actually held a part of the Sun God Ra." Adrian stated to which the Goddess Nox and the God Abaddon are shocked.
? "To think that she held onto a piece of a powerful god. No wonder she managed to keep her sanity and her curse in check. A sun god is not really that much different from me because we are two sides of the same coin." The Goddess Nox stated.
"You should not lower yourself. It is only because it is a piece of the Sun God Ra that made it possible for her to deter the curse." The God Abaddon stated.
"That is all in the past now. The important thing is that my former herald has finally been found. Do you regret your actions, Nychta?" The Goddess Nox asked.
"I will never regret my actions! Old Hag! You were limiting me from greatness! If it was not for you then I would have ascended to godhood by now!" Nychta suddenly shouted in a powerful outburst of anger.
She has never forgiven the Goddess Nox for what she did to her. She just wanted power beyond belief that rivaled the gods, but she was denied that. She did sacrifice a few lives here and there, but she believed that they will be exalted because they were sacrifices for her cause.
"You have not changed. A pity as I would have forgiven you after a thousand years of you reflecting on your mistakes. It seems that my remaining love for you is already wasted because you are beyond redemption." The Goddess Nox stated as she suddenly exploded in anger as well.
The Goddess Nox has been patient with Nychta because she thought that she could still be redeemed. She held some hope but that hope became dust when Nychta was still the same even after a long time. She will need to deliver punishment for the evil being that she has raised.
"You will be punished by me as I do not want others to dirty their hands on killing a filthy being such as you!" The Goddess Nox stated.
"You think that you can do something to me?! I am still a mortal being which means that you gods cannot harm me unless you have a mortal body as well. I might have been reduced to this pitiful being, but my ingenious mind still remains." Nychta declared.
"You forget, filthy child. You are not in Pandemonium anymore as the Nether Realm exists as a separate place despite being close to Pandemonium. A world where rules of the universe do not matter, and this world will be the perfect place to punish a malignant being like you!" The Goddess Nox stated as she suddenly started to grow in size.
"You might want to avert your eyes, my child. My goddess is very furious and will now show her darkest form. You might be traumatized by what you see." The God of Death Abaddon stated as he suddenly appeared near Adrian to protect him.
The Goddess of Night represents all the aspects of night. Most know of the silent caring side that gives the people the time to rest but there is also a dark side to her. The night can also be treacherous as danger lurks and spreads in the dark. Nightmares also represent the night as they are manifestations of people's darkest dreams during the night.
The Goddess of Night became an enormous being that looked down at Nychta as she suddenly transformed into a form more horrifying than the dark gods. Adrian could not believe what he saw because it was almost indescribable.
[You have been afflicted by Absolute Terror.]
[You have been protected by the God of Death Abaddon.]
Adrian cannot describe the form that the Goddess of Night transformed into, but he could give a general analogy. The most fitting description that Adrian can describe the Goddess Nox' other form is all of mortal kind's nightmare bundled into one. A form so terror inducing that Nychta actually turned into stone when she gazed at the goddess.
She saw the other form of the Goddess of Night with her naked eyes and turned to stone after. The terror was so powerful that she did not even emit a scream when she saw the Goddess Nox. Her whole body malfunctioned on the spot and turned itself to stone in an attempt to save itself.
In the end, even her body performing an act of self defense cannot vest the might of a powerful goddess. Nychta, who turned to stone, suddenly crumbled into ashes which is decimated by nether energy as her body cannot resist it. Anything that the nether energy touches in the nether realm will be decimated into nothing.
"Apologies for such an unsightly display. I am usually not that unrefined, but I got too emotional for a moment." The Goddess Nox stated.
"No worries…haha…" Adrian stated reflexively as he does not want to be on the bad side of the Goddess of Night.
"You have done well, Champion Equinox. Consider my request completed and this is your reward." The Goddess Nox stated as a spell book suddenly floated down towards Adrian.
