The God Chat was a whirlwind of frantic speculation. The image of the three remaining terrified demon gods, held captive by the God Cosmos, had every God on the edge of their throne.
Zir: "How many do you all think there are? The real number? My guess is in the billions! The demons are going all-in!"
Asura: "A thousand, perhaps? Even for the Demon Lords, mobilizing their entire force of gods has a cost. They are arrogant, not foolish."
Nyx: "Only a thousand? Are you out of your mind, Asura? They sent hundreds of millions of demigods into the Realm of Advancement without batting an eye. I am with Zir. This is a full-scale invasion."
Strategist: "My thoughts align with Asura's. Intervention on this scale is draining, even for a Demon Lord. They would not commit all of their forces to a single, coordinated attack. This must be a strategic deployment, not a total war."
As the cosmic jury debated, Sunny turned his attention back to his prisoners.
