Sword energy bloomed. A line of blood spread from Gaia's shoulder to her abdomen, and half her body tilted before slowly falling to the ground.
Her eyes dimmed as if she had already been defeated. Only after her upper body hit the ground did the other half topple over a beat later.

Kun Peng shook the blood from his sword edge and fixed his gaze on the bottomless abyss at the fracture in the Underworld. "Goddess of Earth, your fate is sealed. No matter how many Supernatural Abilities you possess, you cannot escape my grasp."
