After mumbling and giving a silent oath to herself, she gazed at Wen, directly through the planet. Murderous aura solidified, humming the region as the void issued loud thrilled in a polar opposite reaction, and with a blinding flash, she vanished in a straight line
Launching herself had caused the compressed mana in her body to light up the darkness of space, a resounding shockwave obliterated any unsuspecting nearby cruisers as the debris forcefully launched onto other spacecraft, lightning and flames arched and webbed out, whole Lillian steeled her body as she impacted the planet, and like an eggshell, the surface cracked, shifted, and was directly disintegrated. Molten was forced to the surface of both sides of the planet as Lillian exited. In the split-second beginning from she had entered to the point where she left, the force of penetrative destruction and the gravity of the planet itself had resulted in the planet immediately collapse and implode onto itself.
As speed had not been reduced even the slightest almost as soon as she left the planet she had reached where Wen was, Lillian had already risen her hand and grabbed the gem container and continued through, the unstoppable force had turned her own body into a projectile as she severed Wen in half.
Thorough calculations of each detail we made an instant when Wen had stood still, using the planet and the explosion as a cover to kill Wen and grab the gem.
”??-!!”
There was no reaction time as the situation happened in an instant and all forces were thrown about as explosions continually chained whole collisions happened. Gazing at Lillian's departing figure Gunther was thoroughly shaken up as anger and despair reined in all at once, he had never thought this outcome would happen. Gathering his remaining energy he launched himself in an attempt to catch up.
”THIS... LITTLE... DEMONESS!!”
The remaining forces left after the massacre had split into two groups as they watched Gunther chase after Lillian, the ships with the mercenaries and federation members counted their loss and backed in the absolute fear of total annihilation. While the beastmen sent on a mission gritted their teeth and readied up to follow, fear edging on the back of their minds.
”Activate long-distance warps now! With 43 percent power left I don't believe they can live”
”All forces left, man the turrets and prepare to fire at arrival”

With the engines warmed up, vibrating slightly the ships disappeared in the chase as well.
...
Time ticked as Lillian slowly lost her energy, Gunther had been gaining, daring to burn his life force for power while every so often throwing a punch and firing out plasma mana bullets. Angry burned in her eyes as she sent out a message.
”Gunther this is enough! In a fight, I can beat you even with little mana remaining,”
”You bitch, you killed Wen, and right now, you are attempting to case the downfall of the divine realm, you dare to think that I will stop?!”
”An attempt to reason is better than no attempt at all I guess... I would like for you to die then.”
She turned, flying right towards Gunther as her fist gripped and thrummed with power, Gunther reacted with a punch as well, both were now locked, viciously trading blows.
A first to the stomach.
A knee to the liver.
A block followed by palm to the chest.
Each blow was heating the battle, and before long the ships had arrived following their orders they fired an intense volley at the two. Without batting eyes both weaved and spun, dancing around the ships while still attacking each other, friendly fire appeared on the beastmens’ side as a result and they lessened the fire rate opting to aim and accurately hit the holder of the gem.
Lillian had realized the ion blast were aimed at her and she had occasionally gotten hit, resulting in injuries from fighting Gunther to worsen ”The toll is getting worse, I have to flee!”
Gunther had seen the blast being aimed and he quickly charged up for a lethal kick, as soon as he saw Lillian turn he pounced like a tiger on its prey, sweeping at Lillian and shattering her ribs, rupturing her lung. Her body left with a sonic boom as she cried out in pain, as she gritted her jaw together she reached at each one of the ribs poking through and pushing it back in to reconnect and heal.
”This is my chance, now!”
Barreling away from the force of the kick she headed to an enormous wormhole, using the last bit of mana to forgo healing herself and instead of erasing the divine realms trace while imbuing the gem with her own demonic aura
”With this even if I can't grip onto it, I can locate it later when I heal”
The beastmen onboard the ship were enraged, they had never thought that the divine realm idiot would send her straight towards the escape route.
”Charge up the antimatter cannon, I these last three ships to focus on her, this is the last chance!”
”Sir, we'll lose nearly all our power after this blast.”
”Acceptable! Gunther will die as energy levels are now diminishing anyway, also... someone send a message so the other beaten can retrieve us later”
Gunther on the sidelines constantly vomited blood as he had overextended his powers. He knew no one else could be accepted as the winner but the divine realm. So sacrifice is all he could do now, with an ominous grin he thought to himself. ”Your Majesty... You will have to send replacements... Wen, I'll tell you about how I destroyed everyone after I see you again... My friend.”
With his last breath hanging Gunther detonated the remnants of his Magnus core, sending an all-consuming light to devour the proximity. The explosion and the antimatter blast melded wiping everything out around them, Lillian, who did not dare to look back, sent a piece of her soul into the gem before being knocked unconscious by the resulting sonic blast let out, and by the vibrations directly injuring her organs.
Being propelled into the wormhole her body was crystallized and sent into an unknown location while the gem was split and sent flying in another.
...
Somewhere in the ruins of a building hit by a meteorite, a boy was constantly feeling the ground looking for something, when his hand pressed over the gem, he could in the darkness of his mind see the glowing light finally be touched.
