As the twins ascended into the sky, their determination burning as brightly as the flames of their dragon forms, they met the Pillar of the North head-on. Sophia, her throat brimming with magic, and Mike, wielding his massive sword with fury, prepared to unleash their devastating assault. Sophia began to chant softly, her voice infused with the essence of probability magic. "La Vu RA HA TAH," she intoned, invoking the forces of chance and fate to aid their cause. As she chanted, a subtle shift occurred in the fabric of reality around them, a whisper of luck and possibility guiding their every move.
With a mighty swing of Blue Dawn, Mike struck the Pillar, sending him hurtling out of the air and crashing into the ground below. Meanwhile, Sophia conjured a concentrated fusion of her dragon breath and mana, shaping it into a superheated plasma beam reminiscent of Godzilla.
As Sophia drew upon her vast knowledge of transfiguration magic, she infused the surrounding air with uranium, plutonium, and other atomic elements, transforming it into a volatile mixture primed for detonation. With precise incantations and gestures, she manipulated the atoms, compressing them with implosion spells to create a thin shield around the spell. This shield focused the power of the volatile mixture into a concentrated laser-like beam, ready to unleash devastation upon her target.
With a final, resolute chant, Sophia invoked the forces of her magic, her voice resonating with power as she uttered the incantation, "Ga bas un tru avia!" The air crackled with energy as the spell took hold, the atomic mixture surging forward in a brilliant beam of destructive force, aimed directly at her target.
The attack collided with the Pillar of the North, his shield buckling under the immense pressure before finally bursting through, disintegrating a chunk from his already damaged shoulder. With a desperate dodge, the Pillar narrowly avoided the full brunt of Sophia's devastating attack.
Mike, impressed by Sophia's spell craft and fueled by his unyielding rage, watched on as the Pillar struggled to recover. "Good one, Soph!" he exclaimed, his voice resonating with determination. "But the cunt is mine now!"
With a renewed sense of purpose, Mike charged forward, his sword gleaming with undead energy as he prepared to deliver the finishing blow. Beside him, Sophia nodded, her body continuing to gradually transform into a true dragon, sapphire scales covering more of her form with each passing moment.
Descending from the sky, Mike's Blue Dawn blazed with purple flames, fueled by the souls that fed both the sword and his undead dragon form. With a mighty roar, he drove the Pillar of the North into the ground, the divine entity's golden form struggling to withstand the onslaught.
Yet, the Pillar managed to meet the blade with his own, his golden aura shielding him from the full brunt of Violet Night’s flames. Nevertheless, the purple fire scorched his body as he was sent hurtling hundreds of feet into the ground from the impact alone.
Unrelenting, Mike continued his assault, driving his sword into the ground, causing Blue Dawn to explode within the earth. The resulting eruption resembled a volcanic explosion, with earth and magma soaring into the sky, and an ash cloud beginning to form in the aftermath.
"Mike, listen to me!" Sophia's voice pierced through the chaos, her eyes locking onto her brother's with unwavering intensity. "We can't keep fighting like this. With the amount of souls you're consuming, soon the Artifact will reach across the ocean and not just this continent, but the entire world will be at risk! I had to send Altheack away to save her!"
But Mike's fury burned bright, his resolve unyielding. "No, Sophia! She would have been fine! I am in control and Easton is still alive! But the Pillar must die!" he roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield. "Only then will we be free to truly save Alth!"
Sophia looked at her brother once more, her eyes pleading for him to see reason. "Mike, please," she urged, her voice tinged with desperation. "Who am I really talking to right now? Are you my brother or Anna Sha?"
But Mike's resolve remained unshaken, his gaze fixed on their enemy with unwavering determination. "It is me, Soph! And I won't rest until the Pillar is dead," he declared, his voice resolute with purpose. "No matter the cost, you'll just have to understand."
"You have to come back to me, Mike," she said, her voice filled with unwavering love. "Together, we can overcome this. I can forgive you if you forgive yourself. You can live a normal life here if you don't destroy the world."
"I can't be forgiven, Sophia! But I don't need to be. Someone has to make the tough calls since you never could!" Mike shouted back.
As Sophia's frustration boiled over, she lashed out at her brother, her voice echoing with anger and determination. "Fine then, get out of my way, you idiot!" she exclaimed, her words dripping with annoyance.
Sophia's heart ached at his words, but she refused to give up hope. With steadfast determination, she took charge of the battle, her spells crackling with power as she prepared to unleash her full potential. But before Mike could respond, a blinding surge of golden light erupted from the crater, heralding the Pillar's return. The ground quaked beneath their feet as the divine entity rose from the earth, his imposing form battered but unbroken in the face of their assault.
Sophia's heart sank as she witnessed the Pillar's resurgence. "Tough bastard," she muttered under her breath, a sense of dread settling over her. She knew they had to stop the Pillar, and quickly, to save the world. Killing him with the Artifact was not an option, as using the Artifact on him would mean its destruction and the end of Mike's existence here before he was sent back to Earth.
With resolve hardening within her, Sophia acknowledged that there was no other recourse but to resort to the most primal means: sheer destruction. Drawing upon her ancient knowledge and the lessons learned from her past life on Earth, she combined her expertise with the elemental energies swirling around them. With a decisive motion of her clawed hand, she reached out to the very essence of the mountain beneath their feet.
Delving deep into its core, she initiated a complex transmutation spell, reshaping its solid mass into volatile uranium. But Sophia didn't stop there. Drawing upon her newfound understanding of nuclear physics, she tapped into the intricate workings of atomic energy, harnessing its power to create something far more devastating: a massive, mountain-sized nuclear bomb.
The air crackled with ominous energy as the mountain underwent a dramatic transformation, its once-stable form now pulsating with intense heat and radiation. Sophia's voice rose above the chaos, her incantation piercing through the tumult, "HEA EMGA!"
As the spell took hold, the mountain's surface shimmered with an ethereal glow, marking the culmination of Sophia's transmutation magic. The very atoms within the mountain quivered with newfound instability, ready to unleash their destructive potential upon command.
“Da!” In a blinding flash of light, the mountain erupted, sending shockwaves rippling through the battlefield with earth-shattering force. The explosion illuminated the sky with a brilliant display, casting a stark contrast against the darkness of the Pillar's malevolent presence.

With unparalleled mastery over her magic, Sophia chanted the incantation "BEA NU AI!" Her voice resonated with power as she reached out to the cosmos itself, drawing forth several meteors from the depths of space. These celestial projectiles streaked across the sky with blazing intensity, hurtling toward the Pillar with unerring accuracy.
As the meteors collided with their target, the air crackled with energy, unleashing devastating shockwaves reminiscent of nuclear detonations. Each impact sent tremors reverberating through the earth, threatening to tear the very fabric of reality asunder.
Despite the chaos and destruction surrounding them, Sophia's determination remained unwavering. With each spell she cast, she pushed herself to the brink of her abilities, channeling the full extent of her remembered power in a relentless assault against their ancient foe. Sophia knew that only by vanquishing the Pillar could they hope to save their world from the brink of death.
As the battle assault unfolded, Mike's form dove into the attacks combining his strikes with Blue Dawn, they were met with fierce resistance from the Pillar of the North. Despite the devastating force of Mike's attacks, the Pillar's divine power seemed to render them less effective than anticipated. Ignial's scales, infused with the essence of ancient magic, proved resilient against the nuclear heat and intense explosions unleashed by Sophia's spells around them. It was a testament to the Pillar's immense power that he could pierce through the defenses of a dragon, his relentless assault leaving Ignial's scales scorched and blackened, but unbroken.
With each passing moment, the Pillar's form shifted, his once-golden body now pulsating with ethereal energy as he transcended his mortal shell. His physical form began to decay as the assault continued to ravage his body, dissolving into radiant light as he ascended towards godhood. Despite the damage inflicted upon him, the Pillar grew stronger as his corporeal form diminished, his essence merging with the very fabric of reality itself.
With a surge of divine energy, the Pillar batted Mike away with ease before turning his attention back to Sophia. Despite her formidable magic, the Pillar's relentless assault continued, his attacks fueled by the boundless power of a god. Each strike carried the weight of impending doom, threatening to overwhelm Sophia's defenses and shatter her resolve as she fought the full power of a god.
Sophia dodged and weaved, her movements fluid and precise as she sought to evade the Pillar's devastating blows. But with each passing moment, the Pillar's onslaught grew more ferocious, his attacks coming faster and with greater force. Newly grown scales, once impervious to harm, began to show signs of wear under the Pillar's relentless assault, his divine energy piercing through her magical defenses with alarming ease.
Despite her best efforts, Sophia found herself driven back, her defenses crumbling under the sheer force of the Pillar's onslaught. With each strike, she felt the weight of his power bearing down upon her, threatening to overwhelm her completely. Then Mike came back into the fray with renewed fury as he collided once again with the Pillar.
Desperation surged within Sophia as she searched for a way to turn the tide of battle. Drawing upon the depths of her magic, she unleashed a barrage of spells, each one more powerful than the last. But even as her attacks struck true, the Pillar seemed undeterred, his divine resilience defying her every effort to bring him down. Yet, something seemed to change as his strength soared, and then Sophia saw it.
"We are almost there, Mike! He will be dead soon!" she shouted to her brother as they renewed their dual assault on the pillar.
"I'm gonna kill him first!" Mike yelled as he unleashed a torrent of dragon breath on the pillar.
"You are correct, Solaria, this will be over soon," the Pillar responded, his voice resonating with determination. His divine power surged towards the artifact, and his determination to destroy it intensified. With each step, his form flickered, his once-golden aura waning as his essence began to fade. Time was running out, and he knew that destroying the artifact was his only chance to break Mike's control over Ignial and take over the Artifact himself. He swatted the twins away with a wave of golden light, before diving towards the vault.
As the Pillar surged towards his target, Easton von White emerged from the battered battlefield, intercepting his father's charge with unwavering resolve. In his half-god form, now fully realized, Easton stood tall in the Pillar's path, ready to confront the god who had wrought so much devastation upon their world.
"You took everything from me," Easton growled, his voice laced with anger and grief. "But I won't let you destroy the world."
The Pillar's response was a mocking laugh, his voice echoing with contempt. "You foolish boy," he sneered, his golden aura pulsating with malice. "Just like your mother, you never learn."
With a fierce determination burning in his eyes, Easton kicked his father into the sky. "Finish him, kid," he roared, his voice echoing with power as he attacked his father with a blast of golden light sending him upward.
As Sophia and Mike seized the opportunity presented by Easton's intervention, Sophia quickly formulated a plan. "Mike, carry him to space!" she commanded, her voice resolute as she initiated her gravity spell. With a wave of her hand, she manipulated the gravitational forces surrounding them, while Mike swooped in to grab the Pillar out of the sky.
"Got it!" Mike nodded before surging forth. Despite the Pillar's divine onslaught tearing at his undead form, he grabbed hold of the Pillar and ascended into the cosmos. His form ablaze with undead fury, he hurled the Pillar from his claws, sending him hurtling towards the awaiting spell.
Seizing the moment, Sophia unleashed her devastating assault. With a focused gaze and a powerful incantation, she tapped into her mastery over space magic. "Jas vura con yu!"
A surge of celestial energy rippled outward, suffusing the air with an otherworldly glow. Reality itself seemed to warp and bend in response to Sophia's command.
With a surge of power, Sophia conjured a second moon, its ethereal form materializing amidst the stars. But this was no ordinary moon; it was a celestial prison, born from the depths of her magic and suffused with an otherworldly energy.
With precise timing, Sophia intercepted the falling Pillar, her outstretched hands engulfed in a swirling vortex of energy. As the Pillar was buried, it reminded her of an attack from a show she had watched long ago, "Planetary Devastation".
Rocks and debris from Earth were drawn inexorably towards the swirling vortex, encasing the Pillar in a prison of cosmic proportions. Trapped within Sophia's gravitational grasp, the Pillar struggled against the overwhelming forces ensnaring him as matter from around the solar system collided with him, burying him deeper into the new celestial body.
With the Pillar ensnared within the swirling vortex of the black hole, Sophia delved deeper into her magical prowess, tapping into its very heart to initiate the next phase of her plan. With precise manipulation, she adjusted the gravitational pull, teetering on the edge between destruction and creation.
As fission and fusion reactions ignited within the trapped matter, a miniature sun was born at the core of her celestial creation. Its brilliance radiated throughout the cosmos, casting a blinding light that engulfed the Pillar caught in the overwhelming embrace of fusion and gravity fighting for supremacy.
The Pillar struggled against the overwhelming forces, his divine essence flickering amidst the chaotic dance of cosmic energies. Trapped within the heart of the newborn sun, he found himself powerless against the relentless power of Sophia's magic, his form slowly being consumed by the fiery inferno of celestial fusion.
The miniature sun erupted in a cataclysmic explosion, its blinding light consuming the Pillar in a final, brilliant display of divine retribution. His divine form was trapped in a newborn star, caught in the violent throes of fusion and gravity as it fought against the Pillar's essence.
Seizing the opportunity presented by Sophia's spell, Mike unleashed a ferocious assault. Gripping Blue Dawn tightly in his hand, he channeled the fiery energy of the sword, his undead form ablaze with its power. "Finish him! I can't hold this much longer!" Sophia yelled, her struggle evident as the intensity of the spell transformed her into a full dragon.
"FUCKING DIE!" With a mighty roar, Mike unleashed a devastating flurry of strikes, driving Blue Dawn deep into the Pillar's celestial form. The blade began to melt, and Ignial was engulfed in flames. But to Mike, it was worth it as he watched the agony contort the Pillar's being. The flames consumed him, his divine essence flickering and fading under the combined might of Sophia's fusion and Mike's final attack with his purple blade.
"DAMN YOU DRAGONS!" The Pillar bellowed as he was torn apart. With one final, decisive strike, Mike shattered the Pillar's essence, his form dispersing into stardust as he succumbed to the void. As the remnants of the Pillar scattered across the cosmos, Sophia and Mike fell back to Earth, their bodies battered and broken from the intense battle.
The short-lived sun burned out as quickly as it had formed, leaving the Earth below them in ruins. Despite the victory, the cost of the battle was evident in the devastation that surrounded them, a grim reminder of the sacrifices made to bring them to this point.
