NOVPUBPov Natasha’s:
Just one look at the maps of this Star System and enemy positions, it was obvious that it was a trap, but not a trap for us, we are just a piece in someone else’s game.
"Natasha, I found traces of..." (Nicole)
"Sacred Power, in these 6 points where the planets are and these 2 planets must be emitting Holy Power on the route of their orbit around this Sun." (I)
"Correct, but I can’t pinpoint why." (Nicole)
"I may not be an expert in magic, but I’ve seen more forbidden magic and sacrificial rituals than most of the Minor Gods." (I)
"(Mainly from picking fight after fight for most of my life.)" (I)
"These 6 planets form inverse triangles with the other 2 planets forming double circles, this is the basis of the ritual, the Runes and the rest of the magical circles go on top of this base and can easily be placed later, these are key points of the Ritual where power is concentrated and stored." (I)
"What is this ritual for?" (Nicole)
"I have no idea, what I said is everything I heard from the wizard who was with me at the time before attacking the bastard I had to kill." (I)
"(If I remember correctly, during the battle I destroyed one of those energy points and everything exploded, it was the first time I failed at such a level, 1/4 of the continent was destroyed and it took me 18 years to heal.)" (I)
"I’ll inform Rakan and ask for help from Ynes..." (Nicole)
"No, Ynes is already doing something, go call the Saint of Fertility inside the Dungeon and the High Priestess Yara, they must know something since their knowledge is more diverse than me." (I)
"I will do it now." (Nicole)
I saw everyone going out to fight and the mass destruction spells they used at the beginning, everyone did very well, but a big highlight is Diana and Hela who are completely crushing their enemies, Ibuki and Érica are doing an exemplary job while the twins are with problems.
"Keep an eye on the twins, they are holding up well at the moment, but in case something goes wrong keep Ragnar on standby." (I)
I gave Nicole several orders, from moving the armies to warning about possible problems I found in the enemies’ movement, this will avoid losses on our side as much as possible.
"(He said he wanted a distraction, but this is already at the level of an elite attack, each of them is going too far in their attacks, so they will end up forcing Greed to intervene.)" (I) 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"Warn everyone to be careful, if something is going to happen it will happen soon." (I)
I couldn’t tell them to slow down or spare the enemies, that would be noticed by the enemy and would expose them to more danger.
"(If our advance is going faster than expected, then I can’t do anything, just hope that Zenos is quick to deal with Yntra.)" (I)

Pov Kira’s:
Unlike the others, I didn’t go to a battle in space, a battle in such an open area is disadvantageous for me, I’m also not very good at acting in large groups like the others, my focus is on assassination.
"Are you sure they’re here?" (I)
"Yes, I could feel it from afar." (Ynes)
"So let’s go." (I)
I was on a different mission, Zenos may have thought of a good plan, but he lacks the experience that his sister has, we all know that and that’s why Natasha is in the lead.
She gave instructions to me and Demigoddess Ynes for this mission, we landed on one of the planets furthest from the Poison Worlds, and I didn’t understand the reason until I got here.
The world itself seems normal on the surface, but as soon as I arrived I realized the problem, there was no form of life, with my lightning powers my speed is greater than others of the same strength and that’s how I passed through cities, villages, forests, and mountains without finding any form of life, there are no animals, monsters or people.
"(What do you think Byakko?)" (I)
"(This world is strange, I can feel fluctuations in the world Aura everywhere, especially in cities.)" (Byakko)
"What is happening?" (I)
"I wasn’t sure before, but now I know, this planet is a Sacrifice, all the people are trapped in a territory created by the planet itself, a mirrored space of this, where people must be confined unconscious." (Ynes)
"How do you know?" (I)
"I tried to do this before, but I realized how difficult it would be and I stopped Natasha sent me a message that only confirms what I said, these people, like this planet, are sacrifices." (Ynes)
"Everything will be consumed by the ritual master, which in this case needs to be a God." (Ynes)
"Then let’s go with the plan." (I)
"Okay, they must be near that island." (Ynes)
While we were flying through the clouds she pointed to an island, the place seemed normal, but I followed her, moving us away from the island before returning through the water, it didn’t take long to go through the illusion.
There was no island, in fact, what is here is a plate made of bone chips measuring a diameter of kilometers, in the middle there was a hole where a crystal was floating, the crystal was filled with Divine Power and Demonic energy.
"We need to get to the crystal, but it can’t be now, see." (Ynes)
She points to the other side where there was someone sitting crossing their legs, I would have felt his presence if it weren’t for that warning.
"If he wakes up, then we won’t have to deal with just him, not to mention we would warn the enemies that we know about them." (Ynes)
"I know, but when are we going to act?" (I)
"The moment the crystal activates, you deal with that idiot and I’ll deal with the crystal." (Ynes)

Pov Diana’s:
This is incredible, the opportunity I was waiting for, I don’t need to contain my power, I don’t need to worry about anything, especially now after the last training I had with the Gods.
This time I came alone, other people would be a delay and I alone am enough to end something at this level.
My half transformed Wolf body was tearing apart all the Bugs like cutting leaves in a garden, they pose no challenge to me.
Even when more than 40 Insect Empresses appear, I remain calm, this is because their strength no longer scares me, which is why I advanced towards them.
"< Advance of the Lunar Predator >" (I)
An image of a full moon appears behind me as my speed and power increase with each step leaving a mark in space, my paws stepping into space itself.
When I got close enough I was bombarded by dozens of powerful attacks, but the blade behind me glows making an image of me appear behind them and I swap places with my image instantly without stopping my advance.
My illusion shatters with the barrage of attacks as an intense light blocks the view, when I get close enough I cut the first three to pieces with my two swords before cutting two more, each of them with one of my swords.
When I suddenly stopped my advance in the middle of the Empresses, the force of my advance added to my swords along with my Aura when I made an X cut forward, killing more enemies.
I then used my Aura covered tail to collide with the magic coming from my back before throwing myself to the side with my Wolf jaws wide open chewing on someone’s neck before being sent flying by an explosion below me.
"< Rage of the Sacred Moon Beast >" (I)
I gained some distance which I used for a strong attack, the Holy power within me merges with my Aura as it forms the image of a Wolf getting bigger and bigger around me every second, so when I am at my limit I release the A wolf that runs tearing through space with its cicadas at every step.
The energy wolf tore them apart as it passed, I couldn’t hold back my excitement as I threw myself once again against the enemies, my blood boiling in my veins.
I transform completely into Wolf as I ran through space towards them, my much larger body unaffected by their size and actually becoming faster.
Each blow of mines paid by ripping off the limbs or taking the lives of these Insect Empresses until there was only one left who smiled at me.
When I went to hurt her, an explosion appears from her body, opening a portal using her body as a medium, and then 4 Elf-looking creatures appear, their Auras as filthy as those of those Apostles of Truth.
Each of them was pointing at me with their Auras acting as one, but what made me feel strange was seeing the Poison World shattering into the shape of a flesh Golem wearing rock armor.
This Golem directed its multiple eyes at me as it tried to attack me, the Bug Empresses that were fighting before were now all shattered on the ground or that’s what I thought as all these pieces started to come together into one creature.
"I’m going to make this distraction as bloody as possible." (I)
