The defeat of Cain sent shockwaves through the Second Woe that rippled far beyond the immediate battlefield.
Within hours, the World Chat had exploded with confirmation of the outcome. The rank two in Power Rankings had fallen to the rank one. The All-Gods alignment's most devastating weapon had been neutralized.
And the psychological impact was immediate.
The All-Gods alignment, which had dominated the early stages of the Second Woe with overwhelming force and coordination, began to fracture. Cain had been their symbol of invincibility, their proof that raw strength could conquer any obstacle. His defeat shattered that illusion.
Morale collapsed almost overnight.
Players within the All-Gods faction started questioning their leadership. Arguments erupted over strategy, over resource allocation, over whether continuing the aggressive expansion was even worth the cost. Some players withdrew from combat entirely, preferring survival over glory.
