"Ishtar, you better fucking put your all into this!" Gungnir yelled out as he sent out waves of his divine power over the entire magic circle that was pulsating with a bright purplish light.
"I can only do so much. Unlike you, I have my region and my husband's lands to protect as well. There are four of us here, so we need to manage this somehow. I have already sent notice to Anu, but he is staying quiet." Ishtar gritted her teeth. She had enough strength to fight with Gungnir, but the gate was different. The gate of the underworld can not even be destroyed by Anu. While they said they would try to stop it, it was pretty much impossible; she was only hoping that a miracle would happen. The most they can do is try to put a seal on the door to keep it closed.
"Fuck! Why is that old bastard sitting this one out!? Does he want this mortal world to be overrun!?" Gungnir did not like this. He was from the mortal world himself. All of them were. But It seemed they had forgotten their own places of birth and refused to care about what happened in this place. Anu was the biggest offender. He had seen many worlds destroyed due to new gods going crazy, and he never punished them, yet if someone tried to stop them, he would punish the ones who started a war between the gods. He only saw the mortals as toys for the gods and nothing more.
"We just need to seal this thing, right!? So let's just seal it! And Loki, stop staring at my husband! Your lucky I haven't killed you for trying to harm our precious daughter!" Nanaya yelled out, causing Loki to flinch. Nanaya might be a lower god, but she was still one of the most powerful lower gods, as she was Ishtar's daughter. And she really disliked Loki, who tried to harm Destiny, who she has come to really love as her own daughter.
Loki pursed her lips as she snuck another peek at Blake, her cheeks turning slightly red. She couldn't help but look at Blake, especially in his current form…. "Ouch! Why did you hit me!?"
"I said stop staring!" Nanaya yelled out.
"Nanaya! Stop it and get to work! It's coming!" Ishtar scolded. She also wanted to give Loki a few smacks, but she knew now was not the time for that.
"Fine…." Nanaya kicked Loki in the shin before flying over to her mother to get ready for instructions.
"Alright, I already transfered the ancient sealing technique to you all. Blake's time freeze spell is about to cancel out. We need to do our best to try to seal the doors before they open! If we fail, we will need to fight our way out and return to destiny city. It will be the only safe haven here on this planet…." Ishtar hated to say it, but once the gates opened, things would not be good. While the stronger beings in the underworld might not show up right away, the lower ones will flood in masses as the forward army. Ishtar wanted to stop this no matter what, but if things did not go as planned, she would have no choice but to teleport everyone here out of this place.
The sound of trumpets began to play throughout the sky. But these were not angelic type trumpets. They sounded broken and out of tune. A large skeletal arm suddenly shot up into the sky from the massive purple magic circle before bending at the elbow and reaching down back toward the ground, and stabbing into the magic circle. But instead of piercing the ground itself, it seemed to have hit a liquid surface and sank with ease into it.
"Cast the seal on the arm!" Ishtar yelled out. She wanted to seal everything! If she could seal it, she would seal it!
Gungnir, Nanaya, Loki, and Ishtar all began chanting in a strange tongue. With each word, golden symbols floated from their mouths and shot towards the arm. But each of these symbols seemed to not see the arm and passed right through it as if it was not there in the first place.
"Ishtar! That fucking thing is not solid! It's made of the souls!" Gungnir roared. He was unhappy. The sealing chant takes a lot of divinity, and he already spoke three words which were enough to drain a bit of his power.
"Damn it!" Ishatar was also not happy. She did not know things would turn out like this. She could only watch helplessly as the large skeletal hand began pulling a massive stone door out of the magic circle….

"Times up!" Blake yelled out as all those who were frozen became solid again. Blake was already standing in front of Fredrick, his sword against his throat. While Lillia and the girls all had their swords ready to take out the leader of the reglios.
Blake did not even need to think as he pushed his sword forward, cleanly slicing Fredrick's head off before the stupid man could say another word. He then quickly cut out the man's body into tiny pieces before having Faana incinerate it. "Faana, go help your sisters."
"On it!" Faana nodded and hurried over to the girls who were doing the same to the reglios leader.
Right now, Blake wanted to limit the number of enemies as much as possible. Having the big bosses die was the first step. All the undead under Fredrick's control were now gone. As for his soul, he could only watch helplessly as it floated away. Whether this was the end of that man or not is another story. He did not know how necromancers worked.
"You damn inferiors!" The reglios leader suddenly yelled out as his head was lopped off. Tina and Lillia showed no mercy as they began dicing its body up into millions of pieces. It was as if they were letting out all the stress and frustration this race had caused the world they lived in on the reglios leader.
But this did not stop the reglios who were already fighting. The battle was growing more intense by the second. Blake wished he could go to the other side and help Bret and his people, but he had to stay and defend Ishtar and the rest. The reglios who were conducting the ceremony had been consumed by the magic circle as soon as the time freeze was over. Now Blake could only hope that the gods who were on Earth at this time could seal the door.
