CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
In front of Poseidon, thousands of spears made of crimson blood descended from the skies, piercing the cores of the Miasmic Aberrations, and finishing them off one after another.
"W-What…?!"
The old Sea God slowly stood back up, to meet a group of pale-skinned Gods, overflowing with red auras, and with sharp crimson eyes, giving off a very evil and malicious vibe, yet that had saved his life now.
Led by a blue haired Vampire Queen, wearing crimson armor made of her own blood, she slowly descended amidst the landscape covered by Miasma, her eyes flaring with scarlet light."You're lucky that we've just arrived." She giggled. "Are you not Poseidon, the King of the Sea? Now stand up, why are you down in the ground like a pathetic insect?"
"HAH?!" Poseidon felt so shocked by her cocky nature that he instantly got back up and glared at her from above, his enormous size provoking no fear against her. "And who exactly are YOU?!"
"Is this how you're going to treat the ones that have saved your life?" A black cat beast-man Vampire stepped in.
"How about a "thanks" for starters?" A Shadow Lord Vampire stepped in, protecting his liege.
"Calm down, maybe we started with the wrong foot." Sighed their Queen. "My name is Aleksandra, and this is Jerold and Caedmon. We're Vampires that serve Kireina, we were stranded in the Realm next to yours… We've come here to offer a temporary alliance. So we can survive, and somehow fend off whatever is invading these two Realms. Right now, we don't have any other options than to cooperate."
"Hmph, certainly…" Sighed Poseidon. "Very well… You're trustworthy enough if you saved our lives."
"But my King!""They just offended you!"
"Are you forgiving them so easily?!"
"Kireina's faction is our biggest ally. We even allowed her to build a Demonic Tower here…" Poseidon groaned, glaring back at his subordinates. "Now there is no time for pointless rivalries or discussions, we either cooperate and try to survive together, or we perish alone! Choose one!"
The Sea Gods stood in silence, their faces filled with doubt gave in to some sort of hope, perhaps there was no other way, but it wasn't bad to at least try to do it right.
"Please, let's cooperate. We need to survive." Sapphirine sighed, the one that had healed their wounds also struck their hearts.
"V-Very well."
"Fine…"
"But I hope they don't dare insult our King again!"
"Yeah!"
"Very well, I will hold myself back from saying any truths out loud." Laughed Aleksandra. "Ohohohoho!" She laughed evilly.
"Tch…" Poseidon crossed his arms, as he quickly noticed the black clouds above the sky beginning to expand rapidly, chaotic lightning descended, the Sea of Atlantis and the Blood Sea of Ravenfolt constantly clashing against one another. "For now, we must advance. Any plans?"
"There's not much we can do other than… employ the greatest resource we possess now." Aleksandra explained. "You Sea Gods can harness the sea's powers, is it not?"
"We can, but it takes some time, and energy." He sighed. "And… I don't know if I could completely harness it all, I've lost power over my Realm once it collided with Ravenfolt. It is as if something has… blocked the Core's powers."
"I-I think that as long as I can fuse with you, and you become my vessel, we could do it, Poseidon." Sapphirine said.
"A-Are you sure?! But aren't you weakened?" Asked Poseidon.
"Perhaps, but because I've given up a part of my body to yours, your connection with me as a result has strengthened! Let us combine our strength. Our fusion can also last longer now, I believe." Sapphirine nodded.
"Hmph… What's your plan?" Poseidon asked Aleksandra.
"I'll harness the power of the Sea of Blood and you of the Sea of Atlantis. With these two powers together, we'll advance with our troops, destroy the Chaotic Miasmic Clouds above summoning the Aberrations and somehow push that Outer God back to his Plane. I doubt we can kill him as we are… But we can try pushing him away." Aleksandra spoke her mind.
"…Not bad." Poseidon considered her idea. "Very well, I've never been too good at plans, so we'll follow your simple plan. But if things fail…"
"I'll take responsibility." Aleksandra sighed. "Now, let's get moving. They're coming."
The two Divine Rulers noticed dozens of Miasmic Aberrations gathering around them, rushing towards their groups as they spoke. Their weapons in hand, the two and their armies quickly rushed to fight!

"Can I even get there on my complete form?"
The Outer God started to consider as he saw the ant struggle, his mind not even bothered by their fighting against his monsters, it was all within his plans for them to kill his creatures and continue infecting both realms with the miasma they carried.
Eventually, he would devour both Realms… However, they were on a race against time themselves, there was not just a single Outer God, but many. If another were to find out this crack and come as well, both would end up clashing for the bounty in front of them.
After all, as much as he said these two Realms were merely an aperitive, once he realized what they held within them, he became much serious.
The Chaos Gate was slowly growing larger as he pushed, but that was too slow. He needed to get through there quickly! As quickly as he could!
"No… I must compress my mass if necessary!" He thought, his entire body suddenly beginning to transform and shapeshift, slowly. "I need to get what's within those two colliding Realms! It will be my ticket to my Ascension!"
After all, what his countless eyes were set on was a gigantic thing, a miraculous Treasure born from the two Realms colliding with one another, contained within the depths of both Realm's tectonic plates, emanating powerful quantities of energies…
"And I can't let that damn Archdemon get it first either!"
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Outer God, thousands of brilliant golden wooden roots and branches started emerging from the Sea of Clouds above both Realms, reaching the Seas of Atlantis and feeding off its divine waters to multiply and grow even faster…
