Hela said, "I'm back. Have your Grand Council President continue advancing through the Abyss. I'll take charge here. With me here, nothing will happen to Nora."
Everyone snapped out of it as if waking from a dream.
No matter what, with Hela joining the battle, Nora could hold on even longer—long enough to last until the Emperor punched through the Abyss and returned to his loyal Nora.
"Lord of Fallen Stars, what are you doing! Our enemy is Nora!"
Lord of Chaotic Stars ignored the wound Hela had inflicted and rushed over.
What greeted Lord of Chaotic Stars was the supreme offensive of the Lord of Fallen Stars.
It was forced to retreat violently, utterly baffled, clearly unable to understand what was happening.
Why had the Lord of Fallen Stars changed completely after returning from being Lost? Horus, meanwhile, was suffering in silence.
He had to deal with the Nora Warband while enduring the Lord of Fallen Stars' ferocious assault.
He questioned:
"What is going on with you Abyss?
"Don't tell me you've already secretly defected to Nora!"
Horus was furious and exasperated.
The Astral Realm had never really trusted the Abyss to begin with.
Now the Lord of Fallen Stars attacked him without a word.
He had no choice but to suspect that the Abyss, seeing the situation turn bad, had already defected to Nora.
Lord of Chaotic Stars roared angrily:
"The Lord of Fallen Stars has been controlled by Hela!
"With the character of us Abyssals, would Nora ever ally with us?"
To make the Astral Realm trust it, it could only explain this way.
Horus temporarily dispelled the doubts in his heart.
Crude as the words were, the logic was sound. Nora might unite with any other giant power, but it would never ally with the Abyss.
