"Thank you for the meal," Charlotte cleansed her mouth with a handkerchief. "Now that we're done dining, what's next? I know we've finally taken over three of these dark palaces. So the next step is not fighting anymore, right?"
"Indeed, the next step shouldn't involve any fighting, but it is also the riskier one," I nodded. "Mammon, can you re-explain the plan?"
"Sure, I guess I can do that much!" Mammon nodded.
He was on his demon form while eating food at my side, and once he finished his dessert, which included vanilla pudding and ice cream of various flavors, he floated in midair.
With his demonic flames, he created a large hologram, some sort of simulation of what was happening. He showed us the giant sun we were going to steal, and the many dark palaces floating around it.
"As you can see, each dark palace belongs to a Recessed or a small group of them," Mammon explained. "They are all important parts, nodes of a gigantic formation the Recessed created, which both feeds on the sun's black chains of sealing and also fuels it with more power. It ultimately creates a powerful domain around it, which keeps the sun in place and everything."
"As you can see right now, those three palaces slash castles are ours, Kireina will assemble them into a triangle formation, and using all her Cosmic Power, combined with my Demonic Powers coming directly from Hell, and everyone else here and inside her World Realm, together, we'll overwrite the domain and temporarily take control of it," Mammon explained. "It might only last like ten to twenty seconds though, but that amount of time is enough for Kireina to twist the dimensions and teleport the entire star inside her World Realm, right?"
"Yes, I am positive I can do that," I nodded. "My abilities to shift space have evolved to that point with Partial Dimensional Shifting. Although not alone, but if I connect that Skill and my other powers with the formation, then I can totally take everything with me."
"Okay, I get it," Charlotte nodded. "But is their formation weak enough for us to take over it?"
"No, it's not weak, this is why we needed to take over at least three dark palaces and also…" said Mammon. "These formations are triggered using the unique powers of the Recessed, Kireina ate and absorbed them all, so she can use their stolen powers to take over a part of the formation, and from there, we'll spread the takeover through it all."
"It should be quick, but there will be a short window of time where we'll be in danger as all the Recessed will quickly realize what's happening and will come to retaliate," I said. "Also, although we'll stay here, they could easily disrupt the takeover if they destroy one of the other palaces."
"Wait, so how are we doing it without risking it so much then?" Gaby wondered.
"You are not going to send us there to defend, right?" Luminous wondered. "Those Recessed monsters are not things we can't on ourselves so easily yet, Kireina!"
"Not at all," I said. "Mammon and… Lucifer will be giving us a helping hand. I'll protect this palace, and Mammon and Lucifer's powers will protect the others."
"Wait, Lucifer too?!" Nephiana cried, spreading out her wing sin surprise.
"Yes, he had already agreed on helping," nodded Mammon. "He's such a softie for Kireina, he immediately agreed, although he can't come here personally for obvious reasons, his true body in Hell has already appeared in my own Greed Layer, and we've already connected our energies, which are now being directed towards me, and the two other Demonic Stigmas I imprinted into the two dark palaces floor."
"With that, powerful dimensional bubbles will be created, strong enough to resist the attacks from the Recessed for at least thirty seconds, or a bit less… It should be barely enough to do it," I said. "There might still be variables, many. But if we sit down to overthink things, we'll only give more time to the Recessed to grow suspicious about the disappearance of the others, so let's begin right away."
"Do we need to do something in specific?" Altani wondered. "Surely, we can't just stand here and watch, right?"
"Yes," I nodded. "All of you here will join your Divine and Cosmic Souls together with mine, and with our combined powers, take over the formation," I explained. "A clone of mine has already inscribed the entire formation in the floor using valuable cosmic treasure materials. Everyone, now that you're ready, please place yourselves in any of the available nodes, only one person per node. I made them big enough even for the largest of you to fit."
In the large hall of the dark palace of Demiurgus, the gigantic formation was already awaiting them all, after my command, everyone swiftly moved towards their positions. And once everyone was there, I quickly moved to the center of it, connecting my powers with the dark palace.
I felt a quick connection with the Cosmic Artifact that the Dark Palace actually was, and then a second, and a third connection from the other Dark Palace and the Dark Castle.
As they slowly placed themselves in a rectangular position surrounding the gigantic and ancient sun, Mammon channeled his powers, as I combined mine with my family and allies.
RUMBLE!
The three Dark Palaces started to rumble rapidly, powerful and strange Auras of Cosmic, Demonic, and Spatial Powers surged from them.
No Recessed had yet to fully notice, as Dimensional Bubbles surged in two of the unguarded Dark Palaces, while the last one, this one, erected a Barrier of my own creation, combined with everyone's powers.
"Mammon!" I said.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Mammon nodded.
Standing by my side, we held hands, connecting and temporarily fusing our souls together. The tremendous power of Lucifer also mixing within it.
We felt like a mass of crimson flames, traveling through the endless darkness which was actually the rivers of energies connecting the Dark Palaces with the entire formation.
FLAAASH!
As quickly as we could, our combined Souls and Minds reached the Formation and out of nowhere, struck its core. The black chains around the sun trembled, slowly beginning to move aside.
Our combined minds expanded everywhere, as much as we could, spreading our powers through the entire Formation until we finally managed to take over it completely!
RUMBLE!
The formation trembled, as we suddenly felt the presences of hundreds of Recessed eyes glaring at us, at all three Dark Palaces at once.
"They noticed, quickly!" I said.
It only was three seconds since then and a dozen Recessed of all shapes and sizes appeared across the Underdark, flying towards all three Dark Palaces at once.
Their attacks immediately started bombarding everything, the Dimensional Bubbles were holding back the damage really well.
Things were working barely!
FLASH!
I kept expanding my intent, battling against the former ownership of the formation from the Elders who noticed my attempts.
"Stop this at once!"
"Who are you?!"
"How dare you?!"
"We won't let you do this!"
Their aberrant voices reverberated inside of our minds, but with sheer mind and soul power, backed by two Archdemons, we overwhelmed them all.
CRASH!
"Uuaagh!"
"M-My mind?!"
"What is this darkness?!"
"An Outer Entity?!"
Although they learned my identity, it didn't matter!
The entire Formation was finally within my grasp!
Our power expanded through it all, the chains trembled, shattering slowly.
"Now, Kireina, move it!"
Mammon's voice echoed inside my head.
"Yeah!"
And as I was about to do just that, something appeared.
Or well, something happened.
BOOOM!
The chains, all of them, shattered in a split second, as something enormous surged from within the Sun itself, so big it could easily be over a kilometer large.
"UUUUAAAAGGGHHH!"
It screamed like someone in constant agony, his amorphous body, made out of the same components as the sun, boiling with darkness and aberrant in shape, appeared above everything.
"FREE… FREE AT LONG LAST… AHA… HAHAHAHAHA!"
It shone with bright, white and golden light, so bright the Underdark was completely illuminated, the darkness dissipating within seconds.
"Holy shit, what the fuck is that?!"
I couldn't help but panic a little bit.
Its power seemed just simply overwhelming!
"That's… fuck."
Mammon also panicked.
"Kireina, Mammon, hurry! That thing… That man is the Primordial God of the Sun! All this time, that bastard was awake and waiting an opportunity to escape! Hurry, before it's too late!"
"Sure! I'm getting the fuck out of here!"
As I heard the screams of agony of the Recessed after their father unleashed his divine radiance, I grabbed the entire star and teleported it away.
And everyone else with me, back to my World Realm.
FLASH!
However, as I moved away, I heard the rumbling, trembling sounds of the entire world of Abyss changing forever.
And it was all my fault…
Oops.
