NOVPUBPov Natasha’s:
Just as I thought they came, Greed has always been a predictable bastard in certain aspects, he, like Zenos, likes to plan and prepare before making any kind of move, the only difference between them is that Zenos does it out of fear, his bad luck and the life he conquered with effort always came with its difficulties, but Greed has always been a bastard who thinks he’s smarter than everyone.
That’s why I knew he wouldn’t show up, deep down he’s always been a coward who avoids any type of possible risk to himself, especially after being so injured after the Fight against the Saint of Life.
I don’t know when he started planning or the types of preparations he made, but I know his behavior, he won’t show up until it’s explicitly necessary and he’ll prefer to run away abandoning his entire plan if necessary if he thinks he might lose this fight.
"Hades is waiting and everyone else is already in position, Kira reported that the enemy may suspect their presence and there seems to be something interfering with my Golems." (Nicole)
"Do you know why the Golems are being interfered with? Will this disrupt communication with others?" (I)
"I created the Golems to resist most energies, the only ones that can interfere with them are the Divine Power of which I know almost nothing, and the Holy Power which is a type of strange energy that can only be countered by the same type." (Nicole)
"So he decided to move, he will activate the ritual at any moment and send something to keep the potential risks under control." (I)
I am confident in the action of Ynes and Hades acting together, but I don’t know how viable this plan will be, I don’t know the effects that Zenos’ power will have on the Ritual.
"It looks like he’s moving, get ready to warn everyone, if necessary, do anything to listen to my orders!" (I)
"Yes." (Nicole)
I gave my orders at the same time as the 8 Planets were surrounded by columns of light, the Ritual was being activated, but I knew it was too late to think of other options.
"Lets start now!" (I)
------------------
Pov Elizabeth’s:
I see the columns of light in the distance and I can feel the presence of Greed, of course just a shadow of his power, I don’t see him appearing in person and when he is injured.
"(What are you doing, Natasha...)" (I)
I’m not sure what’s going on outside, but I look back, Vanessa is sweating profusely and Caitlyn has finally opened her eyes as the two Zenos Saints fall unconscious, I walk over to my sister.
"How is he?" (I)
"He did it, all traces of Yntra’s mind are gone and it looks like she suffered Soul damage, but now we need to take him." (Caitlyn)
"You can do it?" (I) 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"I can’t stay away from Vanessa." (I)
"Okay, but we’re going to need an opportunity." (Caitlyn)
"That won’t be a problem." (I)

Pov Hades:
As soon as I passed the Demon Dragon, I went without hesitation to the crystal where I placed my hand, following what Natasha said, I expelled all my Holy power in continuous bursts, when I did this I felt as if the world suddenly stopped for half a second before a wave of energy almost ripped me away from the crystal, this wave of energy seemed to be being expelled at the same time as it was being consumed.
This wave of power seems to have affected me less because I was leaning against the crystal, but the Demon Dragon that was coming to attack me, despite trying to resist, was thrown away, causing an explosion of water to collide against the sea.
Soon I feel something in my mind hurting a lot, then I notice a flow of Sacred Power being sucked somewhere, it didn’t even take half a second to realize that the other 7 points I was feeling were the other planets, all of them were also sending this energy to the same place as me.
"(Let the power course through you vi forming a constant rapid flow.)" (Ynes)
I heard Ynes’s voice inside my head, not only her voice but also the presence of the others, it seems that everyone managed to reach the crystals.
I followed Ynes’s instructions, we got orders from Natasha on this, it seems like she knows something about these crystals and their function, so I followed what she was saying from the fearless, and one of the reasons for that was that we were using the Holy Power of the master in which she cannot manipulate us so well or do us harm.
Following what she says in less than 5 seconds the flow of power sets steady while the last drops of Holy Power burn leaving me dry, but at least I could feel the other crystals clearly now.
"Concentrate your Authorities here together with the power of the Essence if possible, this will finalize the activation of the ritual under our control." (Ynes)
We once again follow her instructions, I cannot use the power of the Essences, but I still hold tight to my Authority whose Power I focus on the crystal from which I track Ynes’s presence.
That was the last thing I did before my spine was broken with claws coming out of my front, but I remained calm by making my blood pass under her scales, I used this blood to pierce her body.
"Get off me!!"
"< Breath of the 4 Hells >" (I)
I gather the Demonic, Chaos, Curse, and Blood powers in my mouth at the same time I broke his arm along with some of my ribs while turning towards him.
But to my surprise it didn’t run away, defend itself, or try to dodge, what it did was open its jaws as close to me as possible and devour my breath attack or at least most of my attack.
"< Demonic Greed Claw >"
"< Space Explosion >" (I)
I see his other claw being enveloped in red and purple energy, the power took the form of a layer of solid energy around his claws, so I used a blast between us, gaining space to think.
As soon as I moved away I noticed that part of his mouth was still burning with Starfire, it seems that he was unable to digest my entire attack.
While I was thinking about what to do, my body was regenerating, the bones of my destroyed spine fusing together once again, it also seems that his arm was shaking, it seems that the damage I did physically to him is also more effective than than energy-based attacks.
"(Maybe I shouldn’t fight, his power is nullifying more than half of my combat power while, at this time, the best thing would be to... run away.)" (I)
"Natasha, I need help now! Open a portal!" (I)
"[G..sg...at..mi...on..]" (Natasha?)
"(I can’t count on outside help, so what should I...)" (I)
In my head I had understood that even the power of my Authority can hurt, even my chaos power only managed some injuries and I have no Holy Power for now.
Physical attacks work, so I might try something since I can’t get out of here or call for help, so I’ll finish him off myself, I don’t think I can outrun him at his speed.
"< Great Demonic Dragon’s Breath >"
"< Star Strengthening >" (I)
My entire body transforms into that of a Dragon as stars float into the shape of my scales circling around me, each star was a source of highly concentrated chaos power.
I flapped my wings pushing towards him, even though I couldn’t do much now it was still enough to get his attention, he is not an irrational monster, he is an intelligent True Dragon.
He was wary of the stars and I took advantage of this by throwing some towards him causing explosions of Starfire, they were stars with little power contained in them and were really only used as a distraction.
Seeing what he supposed to be the main effect of the stars, he began to attack more firmly, his speed made him reach me very quickly and as he came almost in a straight line towards me, he did not believe that I had the power to go against him he and I had already realized this using his arrogance as my weapon.
As soon as he was so close to me, the stars gathered in my fixed arm covered in Starfire so intense that my bones began to melt.
All it took was one punch from me at this distance to make his chest bones sink, his mouth and eyes burning in Starfire as if sensing it, the Starfire around him was growing and that was when I realized that the column of light was burning with Starfire around us, which is why he was in such a hurry to get rid of me.
But now it’s too late for him, the power within resonates with the surroundings creating a tornado of Starfire around him, in a few tens of seconds only a puddle of liquefied remains was left on the ground, I reached out and those remains flew before to crystallize into a sphere.
"Now let’s leave this planet." (I)
