During the slow ascent to what might be the top of the pyramid, Wyn glances at David’s team and his own. Despite the lighthearted chatter between the two groups, Wyn detects something off in their demeanor – especially David’s team.

  “How are you guys holding up?” Wyn asks, his tone gentle but probing.

  “Us? Well, we’re barely managing,” David replies, his calm and collected manner masking the weight of his words. “We hide the pain with laughter and smiles, but deep down, all we want is to make it back together in one piece.”

  “We feel the same way,” Wyn says. “I never wanted to be part of this war in the first place.”

  Yu, overhearing the conversation, turns away from his chat with Lisa and Violet. “Didn’t you want revenge on ‘The God’?” he asks pointedly.

  Wyn hesitates, his gaze softening as he looks at his team. “...Maybe I did. But now, I’m just happy having you guys around…I really don’t wanna lose that.”

  The platform continues to rise, and as it nears the flashing disco lights above, they begin to feel the pulse of blasting music. The lights flicker wildly, triggering seizures among some, prompting Wyn to instruct his team to close their eyes.

  But as the platform grinds to a halt, the army exits through the only door available. The path ahead leads them to an unexpected sight – a quiet lush room carpeted with short grass, where cows graze leisurely. At the far end, Ra sits on a throne, his attention entirely devoted to a cow he seems to be courting.

  “As Anish would say, what in the holy motherfucking cow am I looking at?” Wyn exclaims.

  “I don’t think that’s exactly how he said it…,” Mira mutters.

  “I just realized – they’re all cows! Not a single bull!” David blurts out.

  “What’s so strange about that?” Mira asks, genuinely puzzled.

  “Seriously? You don’t know the difference between cows and bulls?” Charlotte jabs.

  “I thought you were an expert at distinguishing genitals, sis,” Lisa adds.

  At the far end of the room, Ra, who has clearly anticipated the Hell army’s arrival, remains unbothered by their chatter. His focus remains on the cow he’s attempting to court. However, when the cow abruptly turns and walks away without a second glance, his expression darkens.

  “How dare you!” Ra bellows, standing from his throne. “I’ll send you up!”

  Suddenly, the room begins to rumble. The pointed ceiling trembles above them, and what the army had assumed were walls start sliding down, like sand cascading in slow motion. As the sand recedes, it reveals the truth: they’re not in an ordinary chamber but within the tip of the pyramid itself. From within, they can see the outside, distorted slightly by the crystalline surface.

  The tip of the crystal splits open, allowing the faint golden beam from the flying saucer above to shine directly into the room. The light engulfs the center, its glow encompassing several Hell souls.

  Ra, his expression dark with fury, leaps from his throne. Spotting the cow that had rejected him, he seizes it with a growl and hurls it into the beam. The cow bellows in panic as the light engulfs it, drawing it upward into the saucer’s underside without a trace.

  “Hell souls. Even more of you this time, I see,” Ra finally turns to greet them. “No wonder the gods couldn’t hold you off.”

  Ra towers with a regal presence, his falcon head gleaming with golden feathers that shimmer as if kissed by the sun. A radiant solar disk rests atop his head, encircled by a coiled cobra, seemingly asleep. His bronze-toned skin contrasts sharply against his crimson and gold robes, adorned with celestial patterns. A collar of lapis lazuli and gold rests around his neck, a symbol of his divine authority.

  “Let’s take our fight outside. This chamber is too small,” Ra announces.

  Ra leaps into the beam, using it to ascend halfway, then jumps onto the newly summoned hovering solar barque. But before the Hell souls can follow, the saucer descends, its bottom opening as it slides halfway over the pyramid's crystal tip. With no room or time to react, the army readies itself. The chamber darkens as the saucer blocks most of the sunlight from outside. The red elemental users step forward, providing light for the army.

  Peering into the saucer from below, they see nothing but pitch black. As the army stands in confusion, the crystal chamber emits blue lights from within. Then, in the blink of an eye, they find themselves standing on the vast edge of the saucer that stretches around its colossal dome.

  Suddenly, two massive, lifelike cow-like eyes emerge on the saucer dome, shifting and gazing at various souls as if displayed on a digital screen. With a gesture resembling laughter, the eyes emit beams of light onto the saucer’s edge, and in an instant, mutated cow-like creatures materialize.

  “Lust, Wei, and I will take on Ra. The rest of you, find a way to destroy the saucer,” Steve commands, swirling Wei in a cyclone as they ascend to join Lust in the air.

  Before Lust can reach the solar barque, Ra removes the solar disk from his head and hurls it at her. As the weapon leaves his grasp, the golden cobra adorning its surface vanishes in a flash of light, leaving only the deadly sharp edges. Lust spins midair, allowing the male side to intercept the disk with two armored arms angled to protect the hands from its slicing edges. The impact causes Lust to reel back slightly, halting the disk’s momentum. Flames erupt along the armor, forcing the male side to lift the burning arms and send the disk flipping back toward Ra.

  Meanwhile, Steve and Wei maneuver behind Ra. Together, they unleash a combined attack: a cyclone swirling around a stream of molten lava hurtles toward Ra’s back. But the solar barque dips downward just in time, allowing Ra to evade both the rear assault and the returning solar disk. The barque’s paddles, seemingly controlling its movements, enable it to glide effortlessly in both vertical and horizontal directions.

  “Is the boat arive?” Wei wonders.

  At an impressive speed, the barque evades Lust’s relentless icicle barrage, its paddles occasionally deflecting the projectiles on their own, independent of Ra’s control. Seeing this, Steve carries Wei to join Lust, placing him on the male side's neck. Combining their powers, the trio summons two spiraling cyclones infused with water and ice. The cyclones curve through the air, striking the barque diagonally and destroying it. However, Ra propels himself upward with jets bursting from beneath his feet, landing onto a newly formed barque as the old one dissolves into cascading sand.

  While redirecting the cyclones, the trio is suddenly struck by a beam of light emitted from one of the cow-like eyes on the saucer’s dome. The beam materializes a large, plump cow directly onto Wei’s back. The cow moos as its weight causes Lust and Wei to lose their balance, throwing them off course. Clutching firmly onto the male side, Wei holds on as Lust incinerates the cow into ash, regaining stability in midair. It’s then that Wei notices something peculiar – the sand covering the pyramid below the saucer is cascading away, gradually exposing a blue crystal identical in color to the pyramid’s tip.

  While Lust and Wei dip, Steve tries to follow but is forced to dodge a solar disk hurtling toward him. Expecting it to return, Steve turns to face it, only to see the disk hovering in midair like a miniature sun, launching fireballs in his direction. Distracted, Steve doesn’t notice Ra advancing on the solar barque, hurling fireballs as he closes the distance. Just as the fireballs from behind close in, a stream of hardened lava erupts from Steve’s back, intercepting them before forming a shield. The solar barque collides with the molten barrier, shattering it into fragments. But by the time the shards scatter, Steve is already gone, having regrouped with Lust and Wei in the air below.

  Encased in ice by Lust, she and Wei are propelled upward by Steve, smashing through the barque. The impact reduces the barque to cascading sand at the crash site. Ra, now clutching the slippery ice with both hands, struggles to maintain his grip. As he recalls the solar disk to his head, the cobra seamlessly reforms, coiling around it once more as it settles back into place. Engulfing himself in flames, he braces for his next move, but before he can act, Lust shatters the ice from within, sending shards flying in every direction. The force hurls Ra upward, battered by the icy fragments, while Lust and Wei come to a halt below.

  After propelling his comrades, Steve summons two more cyclones, which quickly close the gap and strike Ra. The icy fury sandwiches the falcon-headed god, causing him to groan in agony as his regal composure falters. Seizing the opportunity, Lust ascends, aiming to grab Ra’s feet and encase him in ice.

  Ra counters by summoning a swirling ball of sand around himself. Though the cyclones tear away at the sand, Ra’s sheer strength thickens the barrier. Then from the collapsing sand sphere, a blazing falcon-shaped form emerges, diving downward with fierce intent.

  The fiery falcon flips mid-flight, its talons glowing red-hot as they grip Lust’s face. She attempts to freeze the legs on contact, but her ice is overpowered by the fire. Wei, perched on the male side’s neck, is thrown off by the impact. However, before falling, he channels water into his triple-bladed sword, driving it into one of the falcon’s wings with a forceful thrust.

  Determined to aid Lust, Steve propels himself forward, firing ice bullets as he nears the target. As he closes in, his gun barrels morph into sharp ice blades, ready for close combat. The falcon, still gripping Lust, flips midair, using the force of the spin to hurl her downward toward Steve. Acting quickly, Steve halts his advance with an abrupt stop midair, then jets himself upward with another cyclone to avoid the impact. Below, Lust is released from the falcon's grip and sent spiraling toward the ground.

  Misjudging the situation, Lust quickly stabilizes herself midair and grabs Wei just before he crashes into the sandy terrain below. This shift redirects the god’s focus to Steve, who hovers in the air, scanning for his comrades. Ra’s falcon form rockets toward him at incredible speed, rising from behind.

  Before Steve can react, the falcon seizes him, one talon latching onto the back of his head. As the second talon reaches for him, Steve desperately summons twin icy cyclones, curving them toward both the falcon and himself. Just before impact, parts of the falcon morph back into Ra – his body bending unnaturally. The talon gripping Steve’s head repositions to his shoulder, and now both talons clutch his shoulders with crushing force. Meanwhile, the falcon’s wings transform into burning arms, each hand pressing firmly against the sides of Steve’s head with unsettling strength.

  Aiming to lessen the strain on his head, Steve redirects both cyclones, curving them upward and narrowing their width as they converge, though still powerful. But Ra remains unfazed, allowing the curved attacks to hit him directly. The combined upward force of the cyclones and Ra’s unyielding grip creates an unbearable tension, ultimately tearing Steve’s head from his body. As the cyclones dissipate, Ra fully transitions back into his god form, and a new barque materializes beneath him, providing a stable footing.

  Standing tall, Ra taunts the army below. With calculated malice, he drops Steve’s severed head and steps on it. He then picks up Steve’s body and, with a paddle from the barque, hurls it toward the saucer with a brutal swing. The lifeless form spirals away, vanishing from sight.

  For his final act, Ra retrieves the head and holds it high above him. The solar disk reappears, blazing with intensity as it hovers above him. In a display of divine wrath, the disk incinerates Steve’s head, slowly burning it to ash as he screams in agony.
