The city of Joaralta descends into chaos as the portal to Kragrum stretching across the sky above, undead dropping into the city sends the people into a further panic as blades begin to clash throughout the streets, Yorun standing where he was after dealing with Ghilan begins to use the souls and send out magic across the undead mages and his forces begin to build up rapidly. The mercenaries and citizens of the city are doing their best to fight back and some manage to mobilise and create proper defences however many are not as quick. As Yorun and Golanier are about to go help the undead they both feel a large magical power amassing at the mansion they know to be Ikterans and as the mansion itself blows apart as some explosion takes place every piece of it including the furniture from inside begin to float around the city creating a walkway in the air as Ikteran walks along it, his sheer presence stopping almost all fighting in the city including that of the intelligent undead, those who are new continue to fight however. Ikteran lifts a hand and the portal to Kragrum begins to warp and the undead cease coming through, they are held at the portal as if there is an invisible net before a series of demons come flying down from the portal to begin attacking the undead army. Ikteran looks across the city from up high and his eyes focus on Yorun, his voice booms across the city coming from every alleyway in the city as if he were in every one of them.
"The chosen of Raeknar hm? You squirrelled your way into the city in a body not your own? How fascinating" Ikteran said as the bricks that once made up his mansion begin to float Infront of him making a stairway down to Yorun
"Powerful one aren't you? Let me guess a chosen and given that show with the portal and the demons involvement in the city. Malekanivor?" Yorun asked
"Correct, seems you're better at this than we expected" Ikteran said in a relaxed and courteous way but as the last word left his lips his body begins to shake and twist unnaturally as if something were trying to escape him before his body began to change to a demonic form similar to that of Ghilan
"Too bad for you!" Ikteran said his voice and demeanour suddenly far more hostile with the same demonic voice heard by many
Ikteran disappeared from their sight and within seconds was right behind Yorun and Golanier tapping them both on the shoulder to get their attention they both quickly react by elbowing his face but it has no effect, he merely smiles before grabbing the both of them and the air around them quickly begins to change lighting on fire before a gust of wind comes in which changes into rocks lighting on fire as a result from the air before slamming into the both of them and sending them into the ground hard.
"You fight a chosen of Chaos and Injustice and you have not even got power from Raeknar, we take it back, you aren't better than we expected in fact you're far below expectations" Ikteran said with a tone filled with boredom
"Might be a good time to say those damn words Yorun" Golanier said as he picked himself up the body he is in beginning to fall apart having never trained for this kind of combat
"Oh you still need to say the words? Oh you can here far to early..." Ikteran said his voice now happy as he lets out an amused giggle
Yorun begins to get up and looks at Ikteran.
"You going to stop me from saying them?" Yorun asked
"Oh why would I? Far more fun even if we won't be the ones fighting" Ikteran said before smirking sitting down awaiting Yorun to call Raeknar, Yorun sighs
"I do not want to say these words, it results in a far longer war than I or anyone wants but I need to. In the world full of injustice one god will say no more, in this moment, in this time only one can remain, may the gods tremble in fear as death comes to bring justice to this world" Yorun said each word more voices joining his own
Yorun once more begins to grow in size and change just as before as Raeknar takes over the body Yorun currently inhabits with their symbol appearing on the ground below them, the skies turn red and the realms shake but this time something is different as the realms continue to shake, before abruptly stopping and the skies as well as the oceans around the world turn completely black while grass and trees begin to wither and die around them as do people throughout the city, only a few do not die as this expanding area of death envelopes the city. Ikteran unaffected looks up and smirks seeing the completely dark sky despite the sun still having its spot in the sky before slowly standing before his body begins to painfully contort, bones snapping and skin melting before his body explodes apart leaving only the skeleton while new flesh constitutes itself onto the skeleton, forming large demonic wings, his body becoming an amalgamation of different animal parts made into a humanoid, his right hand being clawed while his left hand has become a second mouth, his face having no features on it while his torso has those missing features like a misshapen misaligned doll.

"Malekanivor, it has been a long time" Raeknar said staring down the other mortal bodied god before them
Malekanivor takes a single step and the gravity across the realm begins to shift, in some places its normal, others its stronger and in others it lessens allowing magicless flight, trees that haven't died turn to stone, grass turns to water keeping the shape of a grass blade and the blackened oceans become a gas that refuses to rise above the water level yet the animals continue to swim through them while other beings like humans or sentient magical creatures begin to walk through the gaseous oceans.
"That it has Raeknar, tell me how long was it exactly?" Malekanivor said, shouted and whispered all at the same time with a smirk adorning their face
"You know exactly how long just as I and the others do, not since the First" Raeknar said
"Oh come on Justice God, it's no fun if you don't say it after all when we last spoke it was after your last chosen died" Malekanivor said, shouted and whispered once more
"What are you getting at Malekanivor?" Raeknar asked though they could imagine the answer
"Since you don't want us traipsing into your realm and don't even let us see in, I want to know, how was his face? How was it when every single member of his tiny little race were led into Faelerm right after him" Malekanivor said, shouted and whispered menacingly yet full of glee
"Maybe he'd tell you were I to let you in, even after 500 million years his soul continues to serve faithfully" Raeknar said with a tinge of pride in it
"And there it is! 500 million!" Malekanivor only shouted
"Let's get this over with" Raeknar said as they begin to float up as if a platform were raising them
Raeknar watches as Malekanivor rises into the sky just as they did before disappearing and appearing behind Raeknar who doesn't even turn around yet grabbing Malekanivor with a skeletal hand coming straight from their spine and appearing across the universe to distant planets and stars. Malekanivor doesn't even need to look around before beginning to laugh as the nearby planets surfaces begin to crack and as if pulled by a great deal of gravity towards Malekanivor come shooting away from the planet towards Raeknar, the largest star nearby goes supernova resulting in a black hole as planet after planet begins to be pulled in both Malekanivor and Raeknar fight within the black hole, soon enough Malekanivor seems to smirk amidst the fight and massively scaled battle.
"Raeknar, what about your chosen's real body?" Malekanivor whispered in a sing song fashion
"I know you've done nothing Malekanivor I would sense the death, you on the other hand seem to have ignored after all these years one thing" Raeknar said
"Oh? What's that?" Malekanivor said
"Everything. Will. Die" Raeknar said coldly
The black hole, planets, stars and even asteroids that remain all disappear within an instant dying and anything resulting from their deaths also dying creating an empty zone within the deep reaches of the realms night sky. Raeknar feels empowered from the death of them all and they ruthlessly begin to slice Malekanivor apart with their scythe before looking down at them.
"Your chaos is too much, your presence even in the form of a mortal can not happen for long else everything the other gods have made is thrown out of balance, the balance they want to stop me from ending. They'll come for you before me" Raeknar said coldly and the laughing as well as the smirking of Malekanivor stops as Raeknars scythe gets buried within the eye on Malekanivors chest
"You're right so what are we to do? Chaos and injustice runs rampant even without little old me yet I want a piece of it" Malekanivor said
"Then make this something to remember take a swing at the others, you've wanted to that I know after all while we can duke it out forever it will get boring for you but they are a new challenge and one that stands in the way of your fun" Raeknar said pushing Malekanivor back
"Oh Raeknar trying to recruit your morale opposite?" Malekanivor asked with a smirk
"We both know this universe has a few grey spots, so while you have some fun, their plans will be thrown into chaos and your demons will have some fun as well dealing with an old Kalrin named Golanier" Raeknar said eliciting an amused giggle from Malekanivor
"Fine, a deals a deal Raeknar. Give my best to the necromancers for every realm will feel what is to come" Malekanivor said before disappearing
Raeknar appears back in the city of Joaralta, they see Ikteran unconscious on the ground under the foot of Golanier, Golanier looks over as Raeknar allows Yorun to control the undead once more, the body however immediately begins to decay dying in one of the only ways an undead can and while the realm is returning to normal Yoruns soul returns to his real body and he doubles over to the ground as the Kolakinta Mountains Fortess begins to get enveloped in a cloud of death emanating from Yoruns body just like what had come from Raeknar as nature around begins to die. The villagers who supply the fortress with magic see the nature dying and quickly flee the fortress as Yorun begins to panic on the fortress grounds...
