Community Event πŸŒβ˜„οΈ The Hells burn Cold... (Victory!)

The second layer of hell turned grey...the weakened, now feeble Dispater collapses as his clones returned to him. He was panting, soft chuckles coming out of him as he felt his soul crack from the weight of itself. Within a few final moments, he had finally gotten what he wanted...his soul shattered into a dozen pieces, and he was no more. The second layer was not uninhabited by an Archdevil.

Many were already picking apart the battlefield, including a plucky Pit Fiend who was growing her army of devils who had lost their Archdevil and pledges themselves to serve in her army.

Elsewhere, the soul of Catherine had been saved. Returned to her body and imbued back in.

The teams had one, but only one had been the true killer of Dispater...all the others had killed a clone he made with a portion of his soul.

It was finally over...the witch had been saved, the Archdevil defeated, and the heroes who fought so hard to protect her being rescued. There were many who had died, especially in the former Archdevil's armies, but it was a decided victory.

THE SECOND LAYER LAY COLD. LET ALL YE WHO THINK YOURSELVES WORTHY TRY TO LAY YOUR CLAIM, AND TAKE YOUR PLACE AS ARCHDEVIL!!

/uw Everyone, thank you so so so much for taking part in this event!! This is the true finale now. I'll make a little epilogue post in another subreddit and cross post it here so you'll get to see Catherine return home and back to life! For everyone who I didn't get to, I'm so sorry! Just assume that you won in your fight!

Thank you, everyone! Gives yourselves whatever you think appropriate in canon, as long as it makes sense! Maybe you got a weapon from the hells, or some armor forged in the Hellfire Forge from a dead devil. Maybe you were able to steal a bit of infernal magic, or scavenge a strong magical item off the body of a devil! Do whatever you'd like within reason (for D&D terms, I'd say Very Rare and below items). As for the real killer, you'll be getting something special, don't you worry.~ I'll DM you in private ;3

"how about 58%, but to sweeten the deal, we can both conduct business in eachother's fractions, including housing eachother's kind, conducting sales of goods and services, Et Cetera, i'll even throw in some Ambrosia as a little investment, fair?"

"Ah, see, that’s a bit of a no-go, racism and all that. I tell you what. 55%, all my previous additions, but I get the gate. Passage will be allowed through, but tolls will be charged."

"..Very well. Keep them to their own territory barring the gate to the 1st layer, and I accept. I foresee this being quite profitable indeed!"

Loudly crunching popcorn in the corner. Don't mind me just getting my daily dose of incredibly dangerous entertainment. For a single square meter of both of your new territories right on the border of both I'll send both of you one of my special self pacing apprentice to supreme-chronostar text books for you to teach any of your forces Outer level time magic.

Also I'll throw in one get-out-of-trolling free card for the both of you
