A few days after.
The booming footsteps of more than a hundred thousand armoured giants shook the ground, glad in their magnificent divine armour where the even more gigantic custodians that led the army of the emperors' angels, their booming chants could be heard from kilometers away.
"THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!, THE DARKLING PROTECTS!, WE FIGHT FOR THE LIGHT! WE FIGHT FOR HUMANITY!"
"DISPERSE INTO THE SEVEN NATIONS, PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS FROM THE TYRANTS OF THE CALESTIA!" echoed Erskine's majestic voice through the region.
The army of armoured giants stopped their march and saluted in perfect unison. and the more than a hundred thousand angels of the emperor, along with the custodians, dispersed, marching at great speeds towards their respective nations that they were tasked to protect.
And there in the sky was Erskine, the current Emperor of humanity, clad in his divinely majestic golden armour, wielding his giant golden greatsword, his white wings flapping unhindered by the armour, along with his long white hair, making him look like an angel.
Beside him stood an angel of Death with a mastercrafted dark armour and a dark scythe, his black wings just like Erskine's flapped unhindered,along with his black long wavy hair.
Beside the two appeared a portal, and out of that portal came a figure with a yellow robe wearing a hood that only showed her smile.
"Shall we start the party?" asked Eldrin with a smile while his dark magic flowed around his whole body, making him look like death itself.
"Of course, would you do us the Honour of striking first? We definitely won't run away after you do so," answered Erskine with a devious smile.
The Ancient one rolled her eyes in annoyance and thought. "These brats are being mischievous while we are about to fight gods."
Eldrin raised his hands and coated the whole of Calestia with darkness and said.
"As you wish, old friend" and with a wave of his hand towards the sky, the residence of the heavenly principles along with them inside, was thrown at extremely high speed towards the false sky.
BOOOOOOOM!
The catastrophic sound of an apocalyptic explosion echoed through the whole continent sending huge shock waves that thankfully became harmless once they reached the ground.
Without wasting any time, Eldrin raised both his hands and a carpet of hellfire covered the sky, burning all the falling fragments of the calestia and protecting the environment in the process.
In the sky formed huge dust clouds and through those dust clouds appeared titanic nails imbued with enough power to wipe out nations, and those nails fell towards The trio's precise location.
Yet the trio remained unconcerned,the Ancient one simply waved her hand and hundreds of huge portals appeared in the sky precisely below the falling nails, teleporting them somewhere unknown.
Outside the false sky appeared hundreds of nails heading towards deep space, their destination unknown.
Eldrin teleported directly to The Sustainer's face, his hands coated with the highest level of dark energy that he could muster,and in less than a moment, he had thrown more than 300 punches in her face; his attack speed was so fast that it took 2 whole seconds for the attack and the shock waves of the attack to even register.
BAAAAAAAAM!
BOOOOOOOM!
After those two whole seconds, the Sustainer's body was sling shotted towards the ground, but the ground was not what she had hit, at the same moment that she got sling shotted, right below her appeared a dark platform imbued with the highest level of dark energy.
BOOOOOOOM!
The platform was meant to stop her dangerously high momentum and kinetic energy; had she actually hit the ground, it would have caused an explosion equivalent to a nuclear one, devastating the surroundings in the process.
Eldrin teleported right below the platform and dispersed it causing the Sustainer to fall towards him,and it happened again.
This time it took three seconds for the attack to register.
BAAAAAAAAAM!
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
She was slingshotted towards the false sky and just as she was about to crash into the bubble protecting the world, a dark portal appeared precisely at her flying path, teleporting her right outside the false sky, which did not stop her momentum whatsoever.
6 seconds was all it took for Eldrin to decimate The Sustainer. The first 300 punches already brought her to unconsciousness, and the rest caused her to fall into a coma.
But then, Eldrin felt a pressure in his head and instinctively turned intangible,but.
BAAAAAAAAAM!
BOOOOOOOOM!
The Primordial One seemed to be somehow capable of harming Eldrin even when intangible.
Eldrin was sent flying towards the ground, he willed multiple platforms embedded with black magic to manifest below him to slow his fall.
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOM!
BOOOM!
It took three of those platforms to completely negate his momentum.
Yet for some reason, Eldrin did not move away, nor did he get up. It was as if that was enough to take him out.
It wasn't
The Primordial One, seeing this took the opportunity to rush towards Eldrin to finish him off.
But at the last moment, just as The Primordial One was about to kill Eldrin, he smiled, an orange portal manifested in her flying path giving him/her no time to react, teleporting him/her into the mirror dimension where thousands of bombs that were powered by the tesseract, power stone,and of course abyssal power were located.
In Erskine's hand was a button.
"Checkmate" he said while pressing it
Click!
Inside the mirror dimension, the poor Primordial One was disintegrated, leaving not even a single atom.
The plan was simple: Eldrin would establish himself as the biggest threat by easily taking out the Sustainer with a surprise attack, making The Primordial One prioritise killing him first. Eldrin would allow for the attack to land, acting incapacitated. The Primordial One would not hesitate and would rush to finish him off, and at the last second, the Ancient One would open a portal to the mirror dimension, sealing her fate. Erskine would detonate the bombs, finishing her off.
