Michael, Camael, and Maria drifted through the silent emptiness of space.
They were too exhausted to move.
Maria let out a deep sigh of relief. It was finally over.
Yet as she looked at her companions, she saw Michael and Camael weeping, mourning the loss of their father and all five of their siblings. That final attack had delivered an irreversible death—even her authority could not bring them back. They were truly gone forever.
Across the ninety worlds nestled within Maria's Cosmic Realm, the Great Beyond erupted with celebration. Trillions of beings cheered wildly, raising arms, paws, claws, tentacles, and every other limb they possessed. They shouted and wept with joy, embracing one another regardless of race or origin.
The ultimate foe had fallen. The tower crumbled, and its lingering connections to all ninety worlds severed at last. Maria watched the colossal cosmic structure collapse and vanish into nothingness.
