"[Dimensional Compression]!"
TRUUUMMM…!!
"Gryyyaaggh!"
"D-Dammit! We're being- UGH…!"
"Lucifer, you damn traitor!"
Lucifer started to compress the dimensional cages she created, trapping four of the closest Outer Gods to her vicinity. The dimension slowly started to compress, the bodies of the Outer Gods receiving an ever-growing amount of pressure that made their bodies slowly break apart.
Cracks covered their monstrous, slimy and chaotic bodies, shattering apart due to the pressure and the vacuum formed inside the dimensional cages, which was much different than the "freer" Outer Realm where they came from.
Not only that, if it was just this, the Outer Gods would be able to eventually break through, but there was a certain trick Lucifer employed as her Avatar reached the Realm of a World Devourer. And that was something she acquired through combining Cosmic Energy with the highest quality Infernal Energy she transferred from her True Body to her Avatar. Something she had not done before in Genesis due to restrictions.
"M-My body… It is drying?!"
"Aaarrgh…! I-I can't- UGH! Chaos and Void… they don't respond to me?!"
"Our Cosmic Energy and Chaos is being slowly drained… We're suffocating!"
"Uuuaaaggghh!"
Although Outer Gods were incredibly powerful, capable of surviving in any environment and invading anywhere as long as they had the power to do so, they were still living beings. They required energy and essence to function.
Just like a simple human requires to eat, to drink water, and to breathe oxygen to live, Outer Gods require a constant flow of Chaos, Void, and Cosmic Energy inside of their bodies, which melds with their "blood", the Miasma inside of them.
Although they can recover from most wounds, and even survive when cut to pieces, it is all because they have these essential energies flowing through them… However, what happens when they're trapped inside a Dimension that does not allows their bodies to drain such essences from the Reality surrounding them?
They dry out like mummies, and slowly crumble to dust!
"You're depriving them of their essence? How…?!" Shub-Niggurath groaned.
"It is really simply, dear." Lucifer smiled. "I have to simply create a vacuum that isolates them from Reality."
"T-That's ridiculous, something like that could only be conjured by Primordial at the highest levels of power and you- Don't tell me!" Shub-Niggurath felt a strange feeling of dread.
"Yes." Lucifer smiled, a pair of angelic wings surged over her back, as golden horns grew over her forehead. "Slowly, my True Body will assimilate with this Avatar of mine. The plan I've been working for eons is upon us. And you know how truly powerful I am within my Realm, right? As long as I can transfer but half of that power to my Avatar… Even killing you shouldn't be a problem."
Shub-Niggurath glared at Lucifer with her countless eyes, full of fury. She swiftly pierced Kireina's body with her countless tentacles. Enormous jaws popping out of them and devouring her piece by piece.
"That will not happen, Lucifer. I'll devour this Chaos Spawn and then show you. I'll acquire Defiance for myself." Shub Niggurath didn't lose any time. Her plans on making Kireina see her children die in front of her was swiftly scratched as she decided to quickly devour her while she was trapped in her Time Stop.
"Kireina!" Aura panicked. "Lucifer, stop her!"
"Don't worry about it. We did buy her enough seconds by now." Lucifer smiled, confident that helping Kireina wasn't necessary anymore.
"What?!" Aura gasped, suddenly sensing something.
Shub-Niggurath only felt a surge of power as she devoured Kireina's body and also her soul. Piece by piece, her strength and cosmic energy rose exponentially. The Outer Goddess couldn't help but feel utter joy and ecstasy as she devoured her.
"This is delicious! Despite being sealed within a low realm state, her energy alone is worth more than ten Universe-Realm Primordial!" She laughed to herself. "And it's all mine! All of it is mine! After this, I will be the one to eat Noah too! I shall ascend to become an equal to father- no, I will surpass him!"
The ecstasy of eating Kireina's body and soul made Shub-
Niggurath, someone incredibly ancient, cunning, and powerful, lower her guard. It was such a strong rush of power she thought she could now accomplish anything. Kireina was truly a treasure trove of power. Anybody that could devour her would become indescribably powerful and would shape the destiny of the entire Reality!
However, she was completely unaware of gigantic black cocoon pulsating inside of Kireina's World Realm. Many of her family members, friends, and allies that had not gone out fighting with the third team were all channeling their power into her cocoon. They sat cross-legged; thousands of nodes formed a gigantic Divine Formation surrounding it.
This was so her incubation and evolution would be accelerated as she fused with her allies and families' Divinities, Energies, and Powers. All of this was built while Aura and Lucifer distracted Shub-Niggurath for less than sixty seconds.
And the endless streams of colorful energies rushing into the cocoon finally stopped. Her family and friends sighing in relief as they glanced into the skies, surprised and amazed, the cocoon began to break.
Crack…!
Rays of purple, black, and dark blue light surging from within.
Crack, crack…!
Slowly yet steadily, waves after waves of cosmic energy, chakra, demonic energy, void, chaos, and spiritual essence flowed from the cracks, like an endless ocean of countless colors.
Crack… CRACK!
The entire World Realm came to an alt as from within the black and purple cocoon, a gigantic insect-like claw pierced through, dripping with a golden liquid, as precious as the highest of panaceas and elixirs.
The insectoid arm, long and thin, was covered on a powerful and incredibly tough chitinous carapace that gave off a metallic luster, with rainbow colors as it shone reflecting the light. It was clear purple with dark blue sheen.
The six long, sharp claws pierced the cocoon, slowly breaking it open more and more, cracks became huge holes, and more body parts were revealed. Ultimately, the entire cocoon was torn to shreds, this golden liquid covering everyone around the cocoon, their bodies naturally absorbing this leftover liquified essence, growing stronger.
FLAAASH!
And she extended her wings, tremendously big and beautiful, her gigantic body holding an otherworldly beauty.
"You've eaten enough, Shub-Niggurath."
Her voice echoed within the Outer Goddess, as her claws crawled out of her Abyssal Stomach.
