The battlefield was silent.
Lucifer stood transformed—four wings burning with cosmic balance, his new weapon Eclipse Judgment pulsing with infinite energy.
Void, for the first time in eternity, stepped back.
His expression shifted—not rage, not fear—but strategy.
> "You've grown… faster than I expected."
He stabbed the Unnameable Blade into the air.
The sky cracked. Not just in this world—but across all timelines. A hole opened—not into hell or heaven, but into the Fracture Beyond—a space outside space.
From the hole, they came.
Lucis Variants.
Twisted versions of gods from alternate realities.
A Zeus who devoured all pantheons.
A dark Ravana who destroyed his own Ashura kin.
A Lucifer who never fell—just chose domination.
Even a Nezha forged from divine rot and fire.
They knelt before Void, not as minions, but as disciples.
> "This world is not ready for erasure. But the others… they are."
Void looked to Lucifer and Ravana.
> "You've lit your flame, Avatar. But now, you've given me time."
He turned to the Variants.
> "Ready the Infinite Front."
With a snap, Void vanished—along with the army of darkness.

Chapter 8: Preparing the Ashura Alliance
Lucifer lowered his weapon.
> "He's not gone. Just gathering."
Ravana looked up at the torn sky, still flickering with Variant echoes.
> "He's building a multiversal army."
Nazha spoke, voice grim:
> "If he controls dark versions of us across timelines…"
Radheya added, raising his solar rifle:
> "Then we need every version of us that still stands for light."
Lucifer turned, golden eyes sharp.
> "Then it's time we form the Ashura Alliance.
Across all timelines. Across all worlds."

Chapter 9: The Beginning of the Final War
A massive space temple began to rise above the Earth, forged by the combined will of Lucifer, Ravana, and Murugan—a place to summon warriors from every shard of existence.
Hanuman grinned.
> "So… we're making a multiversal army too?"
Lucifer smirked.
> "No."
> "We're bringing together Ashuras, gods, humans, and fallen legends who remember what it means to fight for freedom."
Ravana placed his Origin Edge into the center of the altar.
> "If Void wants to erase everything…
Then we give him something too strong to delete—hope."
