Pov Elizabeth's:
Just as I imagined, the Divine Servants are just a sacrifice for Greed, he has always treated people like objects, their usefulness and value decided only for him to have in his hands.
The Divine Servants split the chest with their own hands, leaving all the Divine Power leaving their bodies along with the Demonic energy, thus forming a Demon of energy that attacks the transforming tree.
When this happened the Energy Demon broke what appeared to be an invisible barrier causing all 8 columns of Starfire to go out.
When the Demonic creature reaches the tree, it transforms into a flow of energy that marks the entire tree with marks that glow and spread into the space around it opening a passage in space that rips the tree out of the world where it was trapped as if was swallowed by space itself.
