Truth Revealed

While Epsilon and Ravenna fought the ground forces, Step Alpha, with Nightbringer in hand and glowing red eyes, made his way towards the throne room, destroying any guards on the way with Nightbringer.

At that moment Alpha contacted Lena and Beta. "How is the situation?" she inquired. The ships of the Crushing Fleet opened fire on the Demon Castle, but the magical barrier held firm and protected the castle from the attack.

Lena's voice crackled through the communication link, "Alpha, the situation at the front is intense. The Crushing Fleet is relentless, but our magical barrier is holding. It won't withstand prolonged assault, though. We need reinforcements or a diversion to take the pressure off."

Beta chimed in, her tone resolute, "I'm monitoring the ground forces, and Epsilon and Ravenna are holding their own. But the Crystal King's minions are overwhelming us. We can't let them breach the outer defenses. We need a plan, Alpha."

Alpha, gripping Nightbringer tighter, contemplated the dire circumstances. "Understood. Hold your ground for now. I'm inside the Demon Castle confronting the Crystal King. If we can take him down, it might shift the tide. I'll update you on any changes. Stay vigilant and be prepared for anything."

Lena acknowledged, "We're counting on you, Alpha. We'll do our best to maintain the defenses. Just be cautious in there. We can't afford to lose you."

The communication link closed, leaving Alpha alone in the grand throne room, facing the malevolent Crystal King. The fate of their world rested on the outcome of this battle.

As Alpha entered the throne room, the Crystal King's throne room stretched out to a majestic depth. Tall, winding pillars with ornate decorations of shimmering black purple glowing crystals framed the hall, while reflections of light bounced off the shiny walls.

The floor, a combination of black marble and lustrous amethyst, as well as purple crystals and obsidian, reflected the pale light of the floating crystal chandeliers that hovered over the king's throne.

In the middle there was a huge window from where the Crystal King looked at the fight with a smile

Behind the central throne stretched a high wall of sparkling crystals that looked like frozen rays of light. Magical symbols and inscriptions decorated the wall, and upon closer inspection, they seemed to pulsate gently, as if they were absorbing the energy of the throne room.

Along the sides of the hall were galleries with ornate railings, where the royal guard stood guard in shining armor. Their armor was adorned with embedded crystals that emitted a soft sparkle with every movement.

Middle of the hall sat the Crystal King, sitting on his crystal throne, which shone in a pale, reflective purple Veins of glowing purple. Artfully cut purple-red gemstones rested on the armrests.

The king regarded Alpha with a superior smile and his intensely glowing purple eyes. "Do you truly think you have a chance against me?

Alpha raised Nightbringer, her demonic sword, and answered firmly, "I think I have something for you." The Crystal King laughed: "Fool, do you hope to defeat me so easily with just this sword it needed all Archangels and the Heavenly Father to stop me."

Alpha: "They defeated you and now I will do the same, because no order stands against me!".

Crystal King: "You Fool, the heavenly Order never won all they did was maintain the balance and trap me in the crystal they were so foolish ti think they stop me but they only delayed the inevitable and with my return in the reality I will annihilate all people who stand against my way and even you can't do anything against that Alpha."

With the words, the Crystal King summoned purple crystals and hurled them at Alpha. But in seconds, she destroyed the crystals with a deft movement of her sword, creating a massive fire barrier of cave fire.

Crystal King: "Impressive your stronger than I thought but it won't save you the fate of this battle is already decided."

He continued to attack, unleashing lightning bolts and shooting them at Alpha, but she blocked them with her sword and summoned "Scarlet Steles" a magical item infused with the magic of the Scarlet Stele Crystals that have magic runes inscribed into them. The Crystal King jumped back and the crystals that came out of the earth like a landslide came in his direction but he countered the attack and sent out a huge shockwave of purple lightning and purple crystals and destroyed the red main crystal so he stopped the attack with playful ease he laughed " Is That's all you have "he used the fragments of the crystals and charged them with a spell. Huge lightning bolts shot at the crystals, which attracted the lightning bolts and made them shine and vibrate even more strongly, so he shot them at Alph.

The crystal exploded in the middle but Alpha teleported away, at that moment she wanted to attack again, but suddenly a huge fireball shot at her which pushed her back. A silhouette appeared in the smoke with her golden eyes. Alpha knew all too well who it was the Elderitsch Queen she stood there smiling Alpha stood up "So I see you need to team up to destroy me yours pathetic ".

" We shall see said the queen and raised her hand she materialized her staff the shadow staff and stabbed the staff into her chest destroyed the source she sank to the ground at that moment her body glowed golden and a golden aura emerged from her body which raced towards the king and circled around him and he took it in with a laugh . Alpha watched the spectacle with a smile and saw the king's form change while the queen's corpse burned in golden flames, leaving nothing left.

The Crystal King changed his body transformed lightning created a purple aura and when the transformation was complete His entire body now appeared to be made of impenetrable gray stone as well of Obsidian with large gigantic dark purple crystals, and two bulky arms with indigo nails, a golden chestplate and a torso.

He also gained four crystal wings which allow him to fly. On top of that his head with two crystal horns protruding out of it.He let out a bloodcurdling scream while the lightning that was around him charged the crystals on his body. He shot huge bolts of lightning at Alpha, which she was able to block, but not as easily as it looked, she was pushed back.

"At last, you lake the true scope of my power!" the king shouted as he materialized his weapon, his eyes glowing intensely purple as he summoned his weapon.

Alpha ran towards him using her wings and attacked from above using a spell from the chains of twisting black Fired flames at the king and weakened his strength, he released another huge shockwave and broke the chains.

He used telepathic powers to keep Alpha's sword in the air. Alpha countered cleverly, but the Crystal King disappeared with a spell and appeared from behind in his monster shape of about 3 meters. And with a fatal blow, he plunged his massive blade into Alpha's chest " Get consumed by my crystals and perish for eternity "

Alpha was died "Finally at last my plan is finally soon to finish!" but his words stopped as he felt a hand on his back he turned back and saw Alpha she shot lighting at her but she teleported away 

"How i killed you how are you living!"

"Did you really think that killing me would be enough to make me die" Alpha asked.

With this words Alpha dug her hand into his torso and crushed the source. He screamed as mist suddenly formed around him and he sank to his knees and now he was back in his normal form. In response, he let out a huge, blood-curdling scream, the windows shattered, the splinters swirled in a tornado towards Alpha and he watched the event with a smile.

Meanwhile, Alpha's sisters had approached the throne room, as they got to the door Epsilon blasted the door open with Jio Graze and they arrived just in time and eliminated the tornado that was racing towards Alpha the king screamed noticing the new arrivals "How interesting new arrivals but this won't be the end of the fight this was just the beginning a new era will come and destroy you"

He made a final attack and threw massive crystals at the 3 girls. Epsilon cut the crystals in half with her slime sword, the crystals crashed to the ground. The Crystal King smiled and spoke to him

"Why do you persist in this futile resistance when the outcome is already sealed? Every event, every battle, every tragedy all orchestrated by my hands. I orchestrated the rise of the Cult of Diabolos, manipulated every shadow, and watched as everything unfolded, leading to this inevitable climax!

"Everything was set in motion by me, to create e a worthy vessel for my return!"

"All that transpired was meticulously designed by me!"

"Jerga and the Cult were mere pawns in my grand game!"

Epsilon, seething with rage: "You were behind this!"

The Crystal King, chuckling sinisterly: "Indeed, I set the wheels in motion, a mastermind orchestrating chaos to fashion a vessel worthy of my triumphant return. And now, unshackled from my prison, I shall shatter every universe, obliterate the so-called Heavenly Order. I will reign supreme over this realm and all others, and there is no force—neither you nor your Demon Queen that can thwart my ascension!"

Ravenna: " I'll kill you!"

In a mad rage, Ravenna unleashed powerful black shadow tentacles that escaped from a portal. These dark, whip-like shapes crossed the throne room and rushed towards the king. He used a fire spell and created a wave of fire that chained the crystals to chains of glowing lava and burned them.

Epsilon now attacked together with Ravenna , but with a lightning-fast reaction the Crystal King transformed into his shadow form in order to escape the demonic attacks of Epsilon and Ravenna.

His body merged into the darkness of the room and he became an impenetrable black shadow that stretched across the floor of the throne room as a pitch-black smoke figure with intensely glowing purple eyes and purple lightning. The throne room echoed and crashed with the emptiness of his shadowy form and the massive lightning.

Alpha looked determinedly at the place where the Crystal King had disappeared through the vast throne room. "Pursue him! Don't let him get away!" she called out to her sisters.

Epsilon and Ravenna in their demon form and with a demonic face: "Trust us Alpha, he won't!"
