In the Segis World, where True Gods controlled everything, war was often an extension of conflicts over faith.
This time, the war in the Underworld was no different.
Thus, when the Shadow Dragon Darkness, representing the God of Darkness and Shadow, fell, and when the Plague Lord Ares, supporting the Dark City State Alliance, was slain, this war was effectively over.
Holder and Hela had not completely torn their relationship apart.
Though the former suffered setbacks, she still retained the ability to send down new Demigod Messengers.
And Hela, who had always stayed within the Netherworld, had demonstrated a fearsome power, but it was obvious that this power also had significant limitations.
Moreover, Hela successfully reclaimed the Plague Lord's divine duties through the Demon Wolf Fenrir, and perfecting her disease divine duties required time.
In this situation, neither side had the confidence to crush the other, making further fighting pointless.
