The Twin Gods, the God of Death Abbadon and the the Goddess of Life Gaea, needed to do what they were supposed to do because of the limit of the body that they are possessing. They could stay longer on the mortal realm but that would strain the bodies of their hosts and that would weaken their champion and potential envoy. They could summon their a part of their divine realm to the mortal realm for a few minutes but that would either pollute the mana or punch a hole in the mortal realms space-time continuum. The real reason gods ascended or to be more specific made the divine realm was to nurture the inhabitants of the universe and recuperate their injuries from fighting the Dark Gods or more widely known as the Corruptants.
A system prompt appeared in front of the two best friends and their mind started viewing memories of the past.
[You have deeply resonated with the will of the God of Death Abbadon. He has given you permission to view a glimpse of the past.]

As if the duo were watching a movie, they saw dark smoke, an unimaginable amount of casualties and the sounds of war. There were the inhabitants that were recognized as people and even other races like night elves, dark elves, asmodians, angels, devils, elementals, giants, and even the dragons were fighting against monsters of unspeakable forms and looks of pure horror. There were also those who were tempted by the power that the Dark Gods promised and started transforming into an aberration of their former selves. It was straight up a catastrophe. It was then that the gods found a conclusion. The conclusion was that they would separate or make a barrier so powerful that even the gods themselves would not be able to break it.
The barrier that they would make would separate the gods from the normal inhabitants of the world that the twin gods created. This used massive amounts of energy in which the souls of those who died in the battlefield gladly sacrificed their life force and the gods almost depleted their divine energy. The twin gods successfully created the barrier with that the gods and the dark gods were expelled from the mortal realm. The more powerful of the dark gods tried to resist the repelling force but was unable to do so and was forbidden from entry. It was then before the twin gods were expelled from the mortal realm, they used the remaining ounce of power they could muster and sealed the most powerful fighters of the army of the dark gods.
The totem they used for the seal looked more like a tablet made of some kind of stone which had the image of the sepirot on one side and the image of the qliphoth on the other. The Corruptant army now without their most powerful of fighters started cowering before the remaining army of Pandemonium’s gods. The remnants of the corruptant army were almost driven to extinction, others hid themselves from the world while others blended in into the ranks of the Pandemonium army and bid their time for revenge.
The last part of the flashback was the tablet split into three parts and given to three asmodians. One of which Adrian was familiar with because he was the one who have given him his inheritance. They were tasked to hide the relic from the eyes of the remnants of the Corruptant army. The three then departed to accomplish their mission. The duo’s vision ended and when they looked back at the crystal ball, the twin gods, Abaddon and Gaea could be seen casting a spell.
=======================
During the time Adrian and Marlon were viewing the memories of the past, this was happening.
Argent was seeing hope from her current predicament and she could feel her rescuers looming in towards her location. She just needed to bid a little bit more time. She started getting back her motor skills which means her time in fatigue is almost over. She was about to start to run when hands made of souls emerged from the ground and bounded her. She could barely move. She looked at the source of the spell that bounded and rooted her from the ground.
“Death’s Grasp” Abbadon muttered.
” DEATH GOD!!! REL..EA..SE ME!!!REEEEE!!!” said Argent as she was struggling to mutter words due the wounds on her neck.
“You should just accept your divine punishment, child. Although I love all of creation, I could only endure too much from the destruction you bring. Nature’s Embrace” Gaea said.
As soon as Gaea cast the spell Nature’s Embrace, multiple plant vines started constricting Argent’s body and she could no longer try to even struggle. Even her mouth was covered which made her unable to even utter a word though she could still produce muffled sounds. The rage in her heart was burning hot like the sun and she swore that when she reincarnates she would exact revenge on all of creation.
” Look sister! It seems she is already plotting her revenge. She is even fusing her grudge with her soul in order for her reincarnation to exact her revenge. How pitiful. The once Envoy of the Church of Death transforming into this state. I feel ashamed of my lack of judgement.” Abbadon said in a sarcastic tone.
” Oh brother, we could talk about your misjudgements later. We should finish this now. It seems guests are arriving to crash our party.” Gaea said nonchalantly.
The twin gods actually did not descend because they were worried about Argent but they descended in order to bait a Dark God who possessed a creature back then before they lifted the barrier thereby making it immune to the effects of the repulsion barrier. Some of the dark gods did the same and possessed creatures to be nullify the effect of the barrier but it was only the weaker ones who managed to avoid the effects of the barrier. Of course, possessing a creature also greatly decreases their power as dark gods. The gods of Pandemonium then ordered their champions to hunt those dark gods who possessed creatures and they were somewhat successful but some still remained. In this age, the followers of the gods could barely hear or even if they hear their divine message, their followers do not listen to them which is why the twin gods made the Amulet of Chaos and bide their time for their champion to appear.
The twin gods waited for centuries until a person passed the pre-requisite to become their champion. They did not mind that their champion was currently weak because it seems those dark gods who possessed creatures started making their moves. The dark gods were planning behind the scenes this time unlike their time when they flaunted their power upon the gods of Pandemonium. The twin gods themselves will nurture their champion to fight against the looming threat.
======================
Back to the perspective of the two bestfriends….
The two best friends saw Abaddon and Gaea collecting great energy in to their hands. They started using divine energy they used in order to descend to the mortal realm. Even Argent could feel the intensity of the energy that the two were collecting. Argent struggled like her life depended on it and when she could not break free, she started feeling despair.
” Is this what those I tormented felt.” Argent thought and then her eyes started having the glint of a maniac. She then lost her mind and started utilizing her soul as a conduit for a magic barrier.
Abaddon saw what she was doing and only muttered, ” Foolish girl”. He knew what exactly what Argent was doing and he could no longer feel remorse because the moment she signed the contract with the dark gods, her soul was no longer hers. She did not notice it but Abbadon and Gaea did. Her soul was already tainted by the dark god she had contracted with and the twin gods will use that connection to bring damage to that dark god. From seeing her soul, they could infer that dark god planted about a quarter of its soul into Argent in order to use her as a vessel. Now that same dark god was running towards here because it senses its soul quivering.
” For that dark god to come here means that dark god inserted its Divine Essence into her even though it only used a quarter of its soul.” told Gaea telepathically to Abbadon.
” It seems it is willing to sacrifice, its current host just to acquire Argent’s body. She would be the perfect vessel because she was an envoy of a god. Her body has been reconstructed to handle divine energy. We should almost reach the threshold needed to cast our magic anyway.” Abaddon responded back telepathically.
Actually, the moment the twin gods descended, they were already casting the spell they were going to use because it takes too much time to even cast what they were going to do. It would not only invalidate Argent’s resurrection but also wipe that dark gods existence.
