Jason and Elizabeth endured the Crimson Exarch's golden beam storm in the void, defending with shadow palms and a death vortex before pursuing him in brutal melee despite grievous wounds. Noah dissolved into golden threads to teleport behind them, blasting the Curse Eaters with flaming plasma. Anark hammered the Monster of the Root, shattering ribs and crashing through to the Second Layer, causing continents of the First Layer to collapse into the depths. Meylin carved through fiery assaults, her gaze locking onto the Warlock of the Root amid the unfolding destruction.

The clash spanning the Worlds of the Root rapidly approached a decisive moment.

The Monster of the Root and the Warlock of the Root both endured heavy injuries amid the ferocious exchanges. However, the ceaseless surge of vitality from the Worlds of the Root themselves ensured neither neared death. The tainted realm kept sustaining them, channeling shadowy life force into their bodies to heal shredded flesh and steady battered souls.

Meanwhile, the Nine Empyrean Suns Alliance forces edged closer to exhaustion.

They had withstood the poisonous radiation of the Worlds of the Root for too long. The venomous power infiltrated every aspect of their being—body, soul, and energy. Even the custom bloodlines and shielding runes designed by the Alliance started crumbling against the unyielding corruption.

Auras flickered as warriors stumbled.

Breaths came in labored gasps.

Souls quivered beneath the oppressive surroundings.

Anark gritted his teeth while scanning the chaos.

They had pulled off an incredible feat.

The First Layer of the Worlds of the Root lay in ruins. Countless abominations had been eradicated. Vast continents had plummeted into lower depths.

It marked a monumental triumph.

But victory remained distant.

Robuke endured.

Mikela persisted.

The Higher Lords and Champions of the Root lingered unvanquished.

And now, the Curse Eaters from the Tenth Empyrean Worlds had joined the fray.

The True Primordial of the Void yearned to press on—to pulverize Robuke to nothing and obliterate all remnants of the Monster of the Root.

Today, that dream would stay unfulfilled.

Not with their forces in such dire shape.

Not facing the fresh peril that had emerged.

After a deep exhale, Anark ascended further into the emptiness and bellowed with unyielding command.

"Retreat!"

His order reverberated over the field of battle.

The Nine Empyrean Suns Alliance warriors swiftly pulled back. Though weary and hurt, their withdrawal stayed precise and structured.

Formations realigned seamlessly.

Rear guards erected protective walls.

Each step aimed to block any chance for the Root's forces to capitalize on vulnerabilities.

It demanded immense strain.

Yet gradually, the Alliance armies slipped back through the fractured gap in the Wall of Flesh and Fire, retreating to the void's sanctuary.

Their escape finished at the perfect second.

Trailing them, the massive gash in the Worlds of the Root's barrier already mended. Writhing flesh knit shut. Blazing fires reignited.

In mere moments, the portal would seal entirely.

Robuke and Mikela held back from chase.

Rage and shame scorched their souls after this crushing loss to the Nine Empyrean Suns Alliance. Still, they refused to venture beyond the Worlds of the Root's bounds. The truth glared obvious: open combat favored the other side.

Moments after Anark, Meylin, and the remaining warriors burst into the void, their gazes turned to a remote skirmish.

There unfolded a spectacle of horrifying might.

The Crimson Exarch battling the pair of Curse Eaters.

The confrontation stunned.

Jason and Elizabeth hurled vast spiritual might repeatedly. Their power seemed inexhaustible, surges crashing through the void like ominous waves.

The Crimson Exarch countered with unyielding splendor.

Noah endlessly siphoned energy from the cosmos, blending it via the Flow into his strength and forging radiant golden plasma blasts that illuminated the void like tiny stars.

Noah evaded a savage trident swing from Elizabeth meant to cleave his head.

In one fluid twist, he aimed both pistols aside and fired a deluge of scorching golden plasma, driving Jason away.

Elizabeth pressed on undeterred.

She spun her weapon in mid-arc, thrusting the haft's end rearward like a lance.

Though Noah's reflexes shone supreme and his foresight into foes' actions proved eerie, foresight alone couldn't always ensure safety.

The trident's shaft crashed into the gap beneath his ribs.

A sharp crack rang out as the impact flung him far off.

Yet within a heartbeat, Noah seized control once more.

Blood dripped from his lip's edge.

His crimson eyes blazed with thrill.

A broad grin split his features.

To Noah, this fight transcended mere survival.

It served as training.

The Curse Eaters sensed it.

Humiliation cut deeper than any strike.

This should have been their glory.

The instant the Curse Eaters of the Tenth Empyrean Worlds arrived to crush the Nine Empyrean Suns Alliance's will with their supreme might.

Yet their entrance revealed only flaws.

Jason and Elizabeth shot glances at distant Anark and Meylin.

Dark frowns creased their brows.

They shared a wordless exchange, then both released heavy sighs.

Suddenly, their forms ignited in profound crimson glow.

And then—

They faded away.

Silence cloaked the battlefield.

Noah gazed at the vacant void left by the fleeing Curse Eaters.

Fleeting regret shadowed his expression.

But soon, he merely shrugged it off.

His frame unraveled into golden strands.

Instantly, he materialized before the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe assembly.

"Today was really full of surprises, wasn't it?"

The Crimson Exarch declared with a bright grin.

Still, the Alliance ranks felt no joy.

Comrades lay lost in numbers too vast.

Countless fighters had perished inside the corrupted domain.

And despite the hard-won success, the emergence of a new foe—the Curse Eaters—burdened their spirits.

True elation proved elusive.

But as Noah's scarlet gaze roamed the assembled troops,

A shift rippled outward.

The very assurance and fervor blazing within him ignited in the ranks.

Hearts lifted.

Morale surged. Resolve reignited in their stares.

Such was the Power of Order's influence.
