While the war in the Tempest Cliff gradually unfolded as its climax got closer and closer, a different thing was happening in the Celestial Plane, with a figure in a white dress speeding through space as she traveled towards a certain direction. On her hand was a dark orb that radiated an aura that was at the epitome of evil, an aura that could be akin to what could be felt at the core of the underworld.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

This figure was none other than Shirohana, Kurohana's divine clone that was tasked to help Nix, the Hallmaster of the Hall of Greater Divinity, with the possible demon problem the Celestial Plane was going to have. At this moment, she had just landed on the ground in front of the Hall of Greater Divinity, clutching the orb she held tightly as she muttered a few incantations while walking.

Swoosh!

In an instant, a white light covered the surface of the orb, making everyone that was in the Hall of Greater Divinity, who had felt an ominous aura from her a while ago, go back to what they were previously doing. With her not attracting the attention of everyone, she then made her way towards Nix's office, taking only a few minutes to arrive.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Shirohana knocked on the door a few times, with each knock having a lot of force behind it. Due to the amount of force exerted, the sounds that were made could be heard from a decently far distance, which made some of the gods in the Hall of Greater Divinity look at her with a confused expression.

"Who is it?" Nevertheless, this was enough to attract the attention of the person on the other side of the door, who answered the knock before opening the door, revealing Nix, who had joined Shirohana while picking weapons quite some time ago.

Seeing Shirohana in front of her office door, Nix could not help but be slightly surprised as her eyes widened. While looking at her, Nix could not help but think to herself, 'It has only been a few hours since she left Misha's plane to subdue the two Lesser Gods consumed by the demons. With that amount of time, was she actually able to obtain any information from them?'

While Nix was looking at Shirohana in a slight daze, Shirohana took the initiative to enter the office as she gradually pushed the door open before walking in. Nix, who had only snapped back from her daze after Shirohana had entered the room, could not help but let out a soft sigh before lightly smiling as she closed the door.

Not long after, she sat behind her desk, looking at Shirohana, who sat across her desk. While looking at her, she could not help but notice the white orb Shirohana was holding, prompting her to point at it and ask, "Shirohana, what's that?"

"This is something related to the two Lesser Gods," Shirohana replied with a light sigh before placing the white orb on the desk. "I've obtained a lot of information from fighting them, with the most important piece of information in that orb right there."

"Hoh?" Nix could not help but place her hand under her chin in slight curiosity as she looked at the white orb that was placed on her desk. She looked at it from different angles, wondering what was unique about the orb as she asked Shirohana, "Let's save the orb for later, since you say it's the most important piece of information. Did you find out what type of sin possessed the two Lesser Gods?"

"From their fighting style, it was actually quite obvious, with them connecting through their private parts and all that," Shirohana answered her question as she scratched her head. Not long after, she added, "Anyways, it's the sin of [L.u.s.t] that had possessed the two. If you think about it, it kind of made sense since those two are a couple."

"How about the grade?" Nix questioned further before adding, "Did you find anything about the level of sin we're up against?"

Click.

After Nix asked her that question, Shirohana snapped her fingers as she muttered a few incantations in a hasty manner, with a few wisps of energy coming out of her mouth before being absorbed by the white orb on the desk.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In a matter of a second, Nix hastily found out that the orb was not purely white at all. Not only that, she hastily found out that the white light that covered the orb was also something that Shirohana had purposely done as an ominous aura emanated from the now dark orb, covering the room in an atmosphere that made the two feel like they were in the depths of the underworld.

It did not take long for Nix to sense this aura, hastily making a few gestures with her hands as she covered the dark orb in the desk with a translucent barrier, limiting the aura of the orb to the desk it laid upon. After doing so, she scrutinized the dark orb, eventually noticing that in the center of the dark orb was a dark sigil that was extremely familiar to her. While looking at the sigil, it invoked some dark memories from her past, a past that was filled with hardsh.i.p.s and incessant fighting.

After reminiscing about those bad memories for a while, Nix hastily placed them on the back of her mind as she could not help but look at Shirohana and ask, "You do know what this is, right?"

"How could I not? I was also in the First Divine Demon War, remember?" Shirohana replied with a light sigh. "Anyways, it's the Demon's Mark I've obtained from the two. I was actually surprised that it was that condensed."

"It would take me a while to find out what grade this sin is, but it would allow me to alert the Immortal Verdict Wielders and possibly even the Supreme Guardians about this matter, reducing the impact the demons would have on the Celestial Plane," Nix said after Shirohana replied to her question, grabbing a pair of black-rimmed glasses before wearing it as she started to lowly mutter some abstruse incantations.

While muttering, Nix used a strand of energy to connect her mind with Shirohana's mind, allowing her to continue talking with her as she examined the Demon's Mark.

"Do you have any guesses as to what grade the sin in this Demon's Mark might be?" Nix asked through the strand of energy, with Shirohana replying not long after, "I made a rough guess while I was on their island, I hope it's not real though."

"What do you mean by that?" Nix could not help but ask, sensing the faint aura of fear surrounding Shirohana.

"Deified Sin." At the very moment she had uttered these two words through their connection, Nix could not help but stop in her chanting, looking at Shirohana with slight shock as she could not help but shout, "Deified Sin?! You do know that the strongest sin we've come across in the First War is a Unified Sin, right?!"

"Of course, I know that," Shirohana let out a long sigh as she responded. She then added, "That's why I don't want the Demon's Mark inside the sin to be of that grade."

Hearing Shirohana's reply, Nix could not help but let out a sigh as well before returning to examine the orb, saying through the strand of energy, "A Unified Sin is already at the level of a Greater God. A Deified Sin would already be at the level of an Immortal Verdict Wielder. Would the Celestial Plane even be able to handle that?"

"I don't know. I don't know at all." As Shirohana replied to her question, she could not help but recall the memories of the First Divine Demon War in her mind, remembering the grueling experiments and sacrifices she had seen and done in order for the Celestial Plane to survive the onslaught of demons. And that onslaught was only led by a Unified Sin!

At the very moment she finished reminiscing, Nix had already finished examining the dark orb on the desk, dispelling the barrier that surrounded it before casting a shroud on the surface of the orb. Shirohana looked at Nix, wondering as to what grade of sin was in the Demon's Mark, only to find out that a frown was on Nix's face as she radiated an aura of slight fear.

"Nix…you don't mean…" Even though Nix did not say anything about it, Shirohana could not help but think that that was the case. In response to her words, Nix let out a long sigh as she opened a rift before placing the orb in there, closing it soon after. She then looked at Shirohana and said in a slightly disappointed tone, "Shirohana, it seems we have to inform the Immortal Verdict Wielders about this. Perhaps, even the Supreme Guardians."

"So…it is a Deified Sin?" Shirohana could not help but ask as she stood up from her seat, eliciting a slight nod from Nix in response. Noticing this, she could not help but let out a sigh before turning around to open the door to the office. She then looked back at Nix, who had already walked up behind her, telling her, "Let's go together. I'll contact Khyzaar about this while you contact Phatia."

In response, Shirohana nodded to her words before dashing out of the Hall of Greater Divinity at her maximum speed, attracting the attention of a few gods in the hall that were minding their own business. A few seconds later, Nix dashed out of the Hall of Greater Divinity as well, but this time, she attracted the attention of all of the gods in the hall, with most of them asking each other as to why the Hallmaster had left the Hall of Greater Divinity.

Ignoring the banter between the multiple gods in the hall, Nix soon flew towards a certain area in space, meeting up with Shirohana before they headed towards a certain direction in the Celestial Plane. The place the two of them had in mind was a region wherein most Greater and Lesser Gods would avoid due to the sheer aura emanating out of it.

Also known as the region where the Immortal Verdict Wielders, the Supreme Guardians, and even the Overseer resided, this region was known as the Divine Triad Pagoda.



It took Shirohana and Nix to arrive at the boundary of the Divine Triad Pagoda half a day at their maximum speed, slightly trembling in fear at the very instant the aura from the region had enveloped their body. Fortunately, they only trembled for a short bit before getting used to the aura of the region, not hesitating to go deeper inside the region as they headed to one of the three pagodas in it.

Around twenty minutes later, they had finally arrived in front of this pagoda, with the pagoda radiating an aura of grandeur and regality as its appearance was akin to a pagoda fit for an emperor. Of course, this pagoda paled in comparison to the two other pagodas in the region, with them being more grandiose in size and appearance.

At the very instant they had landed a few meters in front of this pagoda, a voice resounded from the pagoda, asking the two, "What is your purpose for coming here?"

The two of them looked at each other for a bit, wondering as to who was going to answer this question. Not long after, Nix decided to step forward, retrieving the dark orb from the rift as she replied, "We have come here to inform the Immortal Verdict Wielders about the possible onslaught of demons."

Not long after, she held this dark orb up, removing the shroud from it as an ominous aura instantly radiated from the orb, engulfing a large area around this orb in its aura. Enduring the uncomfortable feeling it radiated, Nix then said, "This is our evidence. A Demon's Mark at the Deified Sin level. We have also concluded that there might be a chance for it to be a Primordial Sin in disguise."

Hearing that the Demon's Mark Nix held could be a Primordial Sin, Shirohana could not help but shudder in intense fear, not wanting to imagine the catastrophe brought about by a sin at that level.

Fortunately, it did not take long for the voice in the pagoda to respond to Nix, hastily suppressing the aura on the orb while removing it from Nix's hand as it replied, "The Immortal Verdict Wielders have taken notice of this, and will tell all of you the actions needed to be done once they have a plan in mind. You shall be called by your respective Immortal Verdict Wielders in the future. You may now leave."

Seeing as the Demon's Mark had been taken by the pagoda, Nix and Shirohana looked at each other for a bit before deciding to leave the area just like what was advised by the pagoda.



A few minutes later after Nix and Shirohana had left the Supreme Divine Pagoda, a burly man was tossing a dark orb up and down as he walked towards a certain area of the pagoda. At the very instant he had arrived at the area he wanted to go to, he looked at the seven other people in the area with a grin as he threw the dark orb above their heads while saying, "Hey guys, look at this!"

Whoosh!

After the dark orb was stuck in its position in mid-air, it radiated an ominous aura that alerted the seven other people in the area, prompting them to look at the burly man with a slight frown.

"Deschelon, you do know what you threw, right?" One of the men in the area, who had a slim body yet a dashing face, could not help but look at the burly man as he asked before sighing.

"I'm pretty sure he does, seeing as a grin is plastered on his face. All he knows is fighting, anyway." Not long after, a woman with an immensely beautiful face started to speak, letting out a sigh as an expression of disappointment was plastered on her face.

"Aw come on, Khyzaar! You wield the Immortal Verdict of Chaos! Shouldn't you be happy about these things?" The burly man, whose name was Deschelon, could not help but look at the slim man with a grin.

"Happy? The fate of the Celestial Plane is at stake, how could I be happy?" Khyzaar, the slim man, could not help but be angry at Deschelon. Just as he was about to continue berating Deschelon for his attitude about the whole matter, one of the men in the area radiated an intense aura that made everyone look at him with rapt attention.

"Lucidum, what's up?" Deschelon asked the man that radiated an aura as he entered the area before sitting down on the ground.

"I've just obtained some bad news, guys," Lucidum, the one who had attracted everyone's attention in the area, could not help but frown as he uttered some news to them.

"What kind of bad news?" This time, Khyzaar was the one who asked, to which Lucidum replied, "It came from one of the Supreme Guardians."

At the mentioning of the Supreme Guardians, all of them went silent, letting Lucidum continue with the news he was about to tell. Sensing the serious auras surrounding them, Lucidum took in a deep breath before starting to relay the news.

"I've just obtained information that the Demon's Mark that was just delivered to us is related to the Primordial Sin that had attacked one of our outer regions a few years ago," Lucidum said before continuing, "This Demon's Mark came from a general under that Primordial Sin, who seems eager to wage war with the Celestial Plane."

"If it's a fight they want, then it's a fight they'll get!" After listening to the news, Deschelon grinned before shouting. Not long after, he asked, "Which universe did the Primordial Sin come from?"

"Immortalis Universe," Lucidum replied to Deschelon's words, making everyone look like they had choked on something. A few seconds later, Lucidum continued to talk amidst the silence, "It seems the Immortalis Universe has intentions of assimilating our universe into theirs."

"Well then. Using the words from the Lesser and Greater Gods back then, it seems this Divine Demon War could possibly be our last."
