The Aftermath

They had finally taken out all of the devils and with it, a loud resounding eerie bell announced the making of a new emperor. Each covered in sludge, everyone took a moment to check on their loved ones.
“I-It’s finally over...” Aiko smiled to herself and soon went to hug Acheron. “You did it!” Not only that, he had saved all demons, vampires, devils... all of them. Now, though, before they even left this castle, Acheron would need the power to set the nine levels onto one level and close off the pollution.
Aiko released Acheron as Lilith approached, smiling. “Well done, my liege.” Dipping her head, the smile faded and handed him a staff. “Your power as emperor does not come automatically, so for now, anything you need done will need to be used. Before we even leave here. We must set the nine levels into one layer, and get rid of the pollution which we can do from right here in this room.”
She gestured to a large pipe behind the now broken throne. The energy inside was not usual chaotic and looked like something sickly and sludge-like. “Tap the staff’s orb against it and mutter this poem in Latin.” She spoke it, but it translated briefly too;
“I am the new master. You must follow my command. And my command is that you return to as you once were. Return to being chaos and in turn return to balance.”
In the meanwhile, Urie went about checking anyone for wounds, using healing salves to tend to them, though everyone’s gaze now remained on Acheron to see what he would do.
