After being consumed by despair, Nitra, now the goddess of despair, flew across the world, determined to spread suffering and pain wherever she went. Aware that she would need allies to spread her despair to all living beings, she traveled to different countries in search of those who had lost all hope.
Her first stop was France, where she found a woman named Joan of Arc. Once a heroine full of faith and courage, Joan had been broken by the betrayals and losses she had endured. Her once-ardent heart was now nothing more than a pile of cold ashes.
Nitra continued her journey to Japan, where she discovered a woman named Amaterasu. Once a radiant deity, Amaterasu had seen her family slaughtered before her eyes, including her own child. Pain and rage had transformed her into a shadow of her former glory, her brilliance extinguished by the cruelty of the world.
Next, Nitra traveled to Germany, where she found a man named Lucifuge. Once a powerful leader, he had been betrayed by those he loved and respected, plunging him into an abyss of despair so deep that he had nothing left to lose, but everything to inflict.
Finally, Nitra arrived in Egypt, where she met Horus, a man once revered as a god, but who had been cast down and plunged into deep despair. His anger at the world had transformed him into a dark force, ready to unleash his vengeance.
Each of these beings, consumed by despair, pledged allegiance to Nitra, sharing her desire to see the world suffer as they did. In exchange for their loyalty, Nitra imparted some of her power to them, transforming them into formidable warriors with terrifying and horribly dark powers. Joan of Arc became the "Reaper of Despair," Amaterasu the "Black Light," Lucifuge the "Lord of Shadows," and Horus the "Fallen God."
Meanwhile, in the depths of hell, Maria continued to integrate herself into her father Absoria's army. As the days passed, Maria began to familiarize herself with the members of the army, earning their respect through her determination and her connection to Absoria.
The fateful day finally arrived. Training was complete, and Absoria's generals, like Maria, were ready for the battle ahead. Absoria, aware of the power of her enemies, ordered Celina to protect Maria in case of extreme danger.
On Nitra's side, accompanied by his new horsemen of despair, he was also preparing to go to war. His goal was clear: to plunge the entire world into an eternal night of pain and desolation. The clash between the forces of Absoria and those of Nitra would shake the heavens and the earth, a war in which darkness and despair would be the only possible victors.
Thus, the world found itself on the brink of apocalypse, with on one side the army of the Void, led by Absoria and her daughter Maria, and on the other, the Horsemen of Despair, guided by Nitra. The fate of all living beings hung in the balance as darkness thickened and war inevitably approached.
