By decree of the God of Evil, the entire dark force on the Western front began to withdraw its killing intent and slowly retreat towards the spatial rift leading to the Dark Side. The intensely poisonous dark ocean gradually subsided, restoring a quiet but mournful atmosphere to the Western Sea.
The Supreme Ocean God rose from the ruins, his crown cracked, slowly watching the colossal figures of Lucifer and the God of Chaos disappear into the gray mist. Upon returning to the main temple, facing the bewildered, frightened, and resentful new recruits of the divine realm, the Ocean God spoke in a deep voice, officially admitting defeat:
"Reclaim that meaningless arrogance. This battle has shown me a truth... those whom we abandoned beneath the Dark Side, in essence, are also gods, and they deserve absolute respect."
With his hands clasped behind his back and his gaze fixed on the very essence of the universe, he explained to the newcomers a supreme truth about high-level entities: The nature of Gods and Goddesses is that they are all high-tier abstract beings, stories and aspects of existence. Their existence transcends all narratives, surpassing all mundane scenarios and historical narratives. To influence or harm a God, the attacker must possess an equivalent conceptual power or be a story entity at an even higher level to reach them.
This dimensional and conceptual divide is an absolute boundary. The Ocean God emphasized that for lower-level beings or gods, no matter how much they try to accumulate layers of Mana or gather energy over centuries to reach a higher dimension or story, they will forever remain unable to reach the supreme Gods and Goddesses. This acknowledgment by the Ocean God marked a turning point, eliminating long-standing discrimination and establishing a new order of respect between the two sides.
