With their spirits ignited by Jin's rallying cry, the fighters braced themselves for the battle ahead, prepared to fight for their lives and the fate of their world.
Once again, an eerie sound of divine sirens filled the air as clouds formed above the base, heralding the start of battle with thunderous strikes.
With another deafening battlecry, Jin and his companions charged at Satanus. Despite the ferocity of their attack, Satanus remained unfazed, his eerie grin never faltering.
As Jin unleashed a high kick towards Satanus, the dark entity effortlessly dodged, leaping high into the air. Alisa, propelled by her jetpack, launched her robotic grenade head at Satanus, but he swiftly caught it and hurled it back with lightning speed. Lars intervened just in time, punching through the explosion to shield Alisa from harm.
Meanwhile, Satanus descended to the ground where he encountered King, attempting to grapple with him. With a quick move, Satanus countered King's hold and sent him hurtling into Armor King's path.
Marduk leaped towards Satanus with a powerful body slam, but Satanus sidestepped effortlessly. With a flick of his finger, Satanus halted Marduk's motion mid-air before sending him flying with a rolling kick.
But before Satanus could regain his balance, Asuka charged at him, unleashing a flurry of strikes. However, Satanus deflected her attacks with ease, his movements too swift for Asuka to keep up. Mimicking her signature move, Satanus sent Asuka hurtling through the air.
Undeterred, Lillie, going against her nature, attacked Satanus with a sword, her strikes fueled by rage and determination. Yoshimitsu joined the fray with his katana, delivering guillotine strikes and slashes. Despite their efforts, Satanus effortlessly dodged their strikes and countered with movements reminiscent of Tao Chi. With a powerful punch, Satanus shattered both swords and sent Lillie and Yoshimitsu flying.
Leroy leaped into the fray, mirroring Satanus's movements, while Nina and Anna flanked him, leaving no openings for Satanus to exploit. As Satanus began retreating toward the crater on the battlefield, Leo snuck up behind him and utilised his flowing technique to push Satanus forward. Sensing the opportunity, Steve stepped in, delivering a massive uppercut with all his might, sending Satanus flying towards the crater.
In mid-air, Ganryu seized Satanus and executed a massive piledriver, causing him to rebound into the air. Seizing the moment, King grabbed hold of Satanus's legs and began spinning him around, ensuring that his head collided with several boulders before releasing him.
Armour King then repeated the process, sending Satanus soaring through the air towards Marduk, who caught him with his waist and delivered a ground shattering suplex.
After that Marduk threw Satanus towards the waiting Eddy and Hworang, Satanus found himself caught in a whirlwind of breakdance-like movements from Eddy's legs, playing with him like a ball as he was kicked from every direction. Eventually, Eddy tossed Satanus towards Hworang, who greeted him with a powerful reverse axe kick, launching Satanus into the air. Hworang followed up with a barrage of kicks, each strike sending Satanus higher into the sky.
As Satanus soared, Lars intercepted him, catching him in his grasp and unleashing a powerful brain blast charged with thunder. The force of the blast launched Satanus even higher, where he was met by Alisa. Using her separable head, which Satanus had unwittingly held onto, Alisa delivered a massive strike of thunder, causing an explosion that charred Satanus's form.
As Satanus began to plummet from the sky, Jin Kazama stood waiting for him, his punch fully charged. With lightning speed, Jin delivered a powerful blow to Satanus's solar plexus, breaking the sound barrier and sending him hurtling at lightning speed into the base of a nearby mountain.
Witnessing the incredible display of teamwork and martial prowess unleashed upon Satanus in a matter of minutes, both spectators and fighters alike stood in awe, their eyes fixed on the massive crater formed by Satanus's body.

With hopeful anticipation, they dared to believe in the possibility of victory.
But their hope was short-lived as Satanus, emerging from the crater, stood like a maniac, his body contorted in various directions as he bellowed with pride and amusement,
"THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT!!!!!"
With a flash of light, he charged towards the group, who quickly raised their guard upon his arrival. Closing the distance between himself and Leroy, Satanus caught him off guard by stomping on his feet with such force that blood splatter remained where Leroy's foot had been.
Leroy screamed in agony as Satanus followed up with a whirl kick that shattered his knee, sending him tumbling away.
In a blur of motion, Satanus then lunged at Nina and Anna, who attempted to retreat upon seeing him approach. However, Satanus pursued them relentlessly, delivering a swift spread-legged kick that left them with broken backs as they went hurtling to the ground.
Leo charged at Satanus, hoping to rescue William sisters, but was met with a knee to the face that sent him flying backward.
Quickly finding Steve, Satanus grabbed him by the neck, smashed his face into the ground, then hoisted him into the air, delivering a jaw-shattering uppercut.
Turning his attention to the King brothers, Satanus leaped towards them, grabbing each brother by a leg and swinging them with the same momentum they had used against him earlier.
As their heads collided with boulders, Satanus threw them towards Marduk, who was charging at him. The force of their impact was so intense that it almost broke the air before Satanus appeared behind Marduk in an instant, grabbing onto his waist and using the momentum to execute a suplex that sent all three fighters crashing into the ground, creating a massive crater.
Satanus then blurringly dashed towards Lars. Anticipating the attack, with quick reflexes, Jin, Xiaoyu, and Alisa intercepted him, but Satanus was prepared.
In a swift motion, he yanked Alisa's head and placed it in Lars's hands before kicking him away, causing an explosion in the distance.
Then, Satanus grabbed Xiaoyu's ponytails and threw her on Jin, using their bodies to surf across the rugged ground for metres.
Afterward, Satanus tossed Xiaoyu aside, prompting Jin to yell out in agony. Ignoring Jin's cries, Satanus stomped on his chest, eliciting agonising screams.
Ganryu, Hworang, and Eddy lunged at Satanus to rescue Jin, but Satanus flew into the air just in time, causing them to collide with each other, before with tremendous force, Satanus then landed on them, creating a massive crater upon impact.
As Jin lay helpless at the very bottom, Satanus tilted bizarrely down to his level and declared,
"Enough of the child's play. Now is the time for annihilation!"
Satanus stretched his one arm in the air with his index finger pointing upwards as a giant sphere of energy began forming above Satanus, growing with such intensity that the battered and bruised fighters on the ground knew it spelled the end of their struggle.
Alan, overcome with despair, cried thick tears as he raised his head towards the heavens, his voice filled with anguish and desperation.
"You coward! Where are you?!"
"Why are you subjecting us to this torment?!"
"I've done nothing to deserve this!"
"No one has!"
"Why create a world with such an imbalance?!"
"Why empower the strong and leave the weak defenceless?!"
"Do you relish watching the weak suffer?!"
"Do you find joy in seeing us crushed beneath the feet of the mighty?!"
"What kind of sadistic God are you?!"
"Allowing the innocent to suffer at the hands of those who possess enough might to even challenge you?!"
"Are you afraid? You coward!"
Alan's cries echoed into the silent night sky, met only by the eerie quietness of the darkness. Helpless and hopeless, Alan lowered his head, his tears flowing continuously.
Meanwhile, Satanus raised his arms triumphantly, grinning at Jin. Jin, upon glimpsing the massive sphere of energy poised to engulf the battlefield, closed his eyes in resignation, accepting his fate.
Suddenly, the night sky cleared as what seemed as the first rays of dawn pierced through the energy sphere, causing it to explode and dissipate. With its power, Satanus was flung away.
The darkness gave way to a serene blue dawn as the clouds parted, and the sound of a divine bell echoed in the sky. The sun's rays illuminated the battered fighters below.
Descending from the heavens was a figure with an aura so benevolent that it radiated hope. Clad in white attire befitting a deity, with shiny blonde hair and a halo floating above their head, the figure exuded undeniable divinity. Another silhouette emerged, holding onto the being's shoulder, and together they descended near Jin.
As the light surrounding the figure's face dissipated, Jin opened his eyes and saw the divine presence before him. With a whisper of a voice filled with awe and recognition, Jin uttered, "Mother?..."
