Yue stands before Belial who's wounds regenerate in an instant while darkness stops orbiting at her feet, she looks at Yue who's Vanguard dissappears from her face, she simply says the command and her wounds regenerate. Not long after, sunlight illuminates both their faces, the darkness of the night slowly dissappearing making the destroyed forest all the more visible. Around them is a large field of ash and dust from their previous clash.

"I suppose we both lost most of our strength, didn't we?" Yue smiles, cracking her neck, "i'm quite tired so i would really like to end this quickly." She yawns.

"Don't get arrogant, i really hate people like you... Always feeling like you're superior to others!"

"Because i am, say, may i ask you a question?" She asks Belial who keeps silent but Yue takes that as a yes, "why partake in a war to kill many people while being the 'Principle of Harmony'?"

"Every person knows that sometimes war is necessary to bring about true peace. That is what we are, the Ten Principles of Peace: bloodshed, freedom, justice, order, enlightenment, preservation, harmony, control, ignorance and wealth. We are all important and all have a role to play, some greater some lesser."

"And how would taking over Archos serve your cause?"

"This world is flawed, and must be overthrown. That is our role, to ensure Lord Lucifer has his rightful place among the heavens, and follow him. Even if that must mean we destroy a nation and its people."

"Now i really wanna kill you!" Yue grits her teeth and clenches her fists, "what gives you the right, exactly, to invoke such cruelty upon the people?!"

"Our right? We are followers of Lucifer, what we do is righteous by default."

Yue snaps at that and claps her hands together, around her body red lightning apears to channel, she then points her finger forward like a finger gun and lighting shoots forward, only barely dodged by Belial who stands in shock as Yue stand next to her, touching her arm with a single hand and it slowly starts to decay and disintegrate. "Finalis."

Belial steps away, slowly regenerating her wound. "You... You are a healer... My sources state you have never gotten into a battle before..."

"I specialise in healing spells, i am not a healer." Yue chuckles, "i was the one who invented the first self-healing spell and it's only natural i would create a completely opposite spell using a similar principle. 'Finalis', the anti-healing spell, decaying anything touched on an atomic level."

"You should have expected this, Belial, after all, i am the greatest healer in the seven realms, right? I cannot possibly fight, right?"

Belial growls and dashes upwards, charging up an attack, her red eyes glaring at Yue who has red spinning lights around her body before she completely dissappears and re-apearing in front of her, almost like teleportation, she points her glowing palm at Belial.

"Ignis!" And a wave of fire destroys most of Belial's body, Yue smiles as she witnesses the bloodbath before her, seeing Belial's body fuse back together and regenerate before the Principle ultimatelly falls on one knee.

"What a disapointment, i expected more from the third strongest Principle." Yue looks at her with an excited smile, "get up, i've only just warmed up."

Meanwhile, Helena was fighting Asmodius while Ezra, Qiang and Fa Jin are all stuck in the fountain of blood.

"You have one minute, before the blood turns acidic." Asmodius says with a smirk, seeing Ezra trying to use a spell to get out.

"Oh, and i forgot to mention... The blood fountain stops all who are trapped within it from using Manna or any other abilities, good luck!"

Helena stares at them in shock, rushing to kill Asmodius with water but the blood all around Asmodius in the fountain move to block each attack perfectly, as if it has a mind of its own. Fa Jin unsheathes his sword, thinking of using it to push the blood but Ezra touches the blade, saying that he has an idea.

Moments later while Helena still tries to get close to Asmodius until they both freeze, seeing electricity run through the pool of blood and Ezra standing on the blood with Qiang and Fa Jin beside him.

Asmodius looks angry slightly, "but... I prevented you from using Manna so how did you possibly do this?!"

"I just picked up a few things from books i read back in my stay in Seelvia." Ezra laughs, "it's quite a neat trick, manipulating Manna from an object to use as your own."

"That's bullshit! Nobody has such a good memory!" Asmodius yells out before a water spear impales his chest and dissappearing, he stumbles backwards, trying to regenerate the wound, gasping and panicking before collapsing to his knees and losing consciousness.

Seeing the blood fountain dissappear, Helena leaves her true form and steps onto the ground with a sigh of relief, "he's dead..." She says, smiling slightly before her gaze turns to a crack, she looks stunned looking at a crack in reality itself.

The crack widens and an eye apears to open, almost like a portal, from it, a tall man steps out long white hair, black eyes and a black robe that nearly reaches to the ground, on his face is a serious expression and on his ears are black glowing earrings that apear like someone fuzed multiple cubes unevenly into each other.

"Lucifer..." Helena begins to step back in fear, on her face is an expression of complete terror.

"Helena, my dear, what's wrong?" He says tenderly, putting a hand on Asmodius' body, "Chronokinesis..." He says and Asmodius' body instantly regenerates and Asmodius wakes up.

"I always have to be the one to do everything, don't i? You will get severily reprimanded, Principle of Bloodshed." Lucifer says and Asmodius immediatelly nods and runs into the portal, running for dear life.

"Now, i must deal with the rest of you and be on my way." He says and steps forward, "Chronokinesis: Unmove." time then stops, freezing all four of them.

Lucifer then points his palm forward at Helena, "Chronokinesis: Temporal Fracture." He then moves his palm quickly to the side of his body, blocking an incoming lightning bolt, shattering time-space, destroying the lightning with it.

"Not bad, i didn't think someone could shatter time-space..." Yue comes out from inside a bush, a little nervous now.

"Yue..." Lucifer says, his lips curling into a smirk
