In the middle of the chaotic scene, Stellearte, having entered Absoria's body, spoke a new word, Beliale. In a flash of black energy, a spear of obscure purity materialized between her hands. This weapon, the Beliale Spear, possessed the unique power to corrupt enemy skills, rendering them unusable. Stellearte prepared to launch a devastating attack, but as she was about to strike, she felt a disturbance in the air. Someone had struck her without warning, forcing her to recoil a step.
She looked up and saw her new assailant, floating in the air with sovereign calm. In an instant, Stellearte analyzed him.
"Name: Velgia. Entity: God of Time and Space. Probability of victory: 10%," she announced inwardly, letting out a sigh of admiration. "You are far more powerful than the God of the Underworld…"
On their side, Kamiora and Hylde, struck with stupefaction, immediately recognized Velgia. Kamiora flew toward him and shouted, "Master! Is it really you!"
Velgia nodded. "Yes, Kamiora. I have come to save you and Hylde. The situation demands urgent intervention, because Kalede is playing his own game."
Looking down, he recognized another familiar presence and smiled. "Well, that's your daughter I see there, isn't it? Celina, or Celine, as she calls herself now. We'll settle that later."
Velgia then approached Stellearte and cast a calm look at her. "Hello, god of the Void. I come in peace and would like to propose something to you, although time is short, for other forces could manifest at any moment."
Stellearte remained silent for a moment, then replied in surprise, "A proposal? I did not expect that from one of the 14 Quantum."
Velgia gave a benevolent smile. "So it's true, then, you really are extraordinary. I will send you the details by transmission. As for Celina, she should accompany us when you come to see me. And perhaps we should take the time to correct her name, should we not?" he said, laughing.
Without further delay, Velgia opened a huge dimensional rift. Kamiora, Hylde, and he disappeared, leaving Stellearte to deactivate the time stop before returning control of the body to Absoria. Once freed to move, Absoria descended toward Maria and Nitra, ready to speak to them, but Nitra suddenly struck him with a mixture of rage and tears.
"Idiot!" she shouted, her voice trembling.
Absoria, his face softened, answered gently: "Yes, I am here. Our family is finally reunited."
But his smile faded when he felt another presence. A distant energy was approaching rapidly. It was Melia, whose appearance and aura had radically changed. Maria, seeing her silhouette emerge from the gloom, recognized her immediately. Absoria asked Stellearte to analyze this presence and, to his great surprise, she revealed unexpected information:
"Name: Melia. Parental link: Mother Celena, Father... information impossible to process, Title: heroine of the legend."
Shocked, Absoria murmured: "You're joking but well, I'll sort that out later? So it's Melia who is supposed to defeat me? What irony, you warned me on the 45th floor of hell, Stellearte, but I did not listen to you."
On her side, Melia approached, her eyes expressing both confusion and determination. Absoria took flight to join Melia but Maria wanted to accompany her father and headed toward her.
"Hello, Melia," said Absoria, a smirk on his lips.
Melia looked at him, disconcerted. "Are you the one who caused this chaos?"
Absoria hesitated a second. "You could say that, yes. But introductions are in order, aren't they?"
At that moment, Maria stepped forward and declared: "You don't recognize me? It's me, Maria."
Melia's face was crisp with astonishment. "But… you were supposed to be dead!" she stammered.
"One thing at a time, Melia," Maria replied calmly.
Absoria introduced himself in turn: "I am Absoria, god of the Void and Evil. But to my family, I am Quitar."
Melia, eyes brimming with tears, could not hide her shock. She murmured in horror: "How is it possible that the one I considered a father could also be my enemy?"
Absoria, his smile turning dark, then asked in a cutting voice: "So tell me, where is your mother?"
The atmosphere charged with intense tension. Melia, shivering before Absoria's oppressive aura, stepped back.
"Dad, stop," Maria intervened in a severe tone. "She is my enemy, not yours."
Absoria, after a deep sigh, nodded. "Alright. But do not kill her. I still have questions."
Maria nodded, turning to Melia, her eyes growing dark. "So, Melia, here we are again… ready for the rematch."
