Behind Orion's glowing form, Valentine, Thoth, Wukong and Loki flew in via a monstrous undead beast.
The lord of chaos couldn't help but throw wary looks at Wukong. And neither could Thoth who almost thought he'd crumble into a blackened corpse again.
On the flip side… the monkey king was beyond thrilled for being alive again.
"Now this is more like it!" Wukong cheered on as Orion spread out his arms before the chimera. His eyes moved to Thoth. "Where was this kid all this time?"
Space around the beast cracked, as though reality itself had simply decided the chimaera no longer belonged. The cracks spread, swallowing scale, bone and molten light, until the beast's roar cut off mid-breath.
Then nothing but drifting ash where an Extinction-Level threat had stood seconds before remained.
The Rift below throbbed before sealing shut with a sound like a held breath finally released.
