Ignos's Field

Everything in Henry's Domain changed completely as now they were in space looking at their planet.

Henry while confused, "What is happening?"

Eta felt this was similar to what Ignos did earlier.

Eta, "How, How are you able to do things like this?!"

Ignos saw the desperation on Eta's face, "Oh! You are interested now, are you? Well! I can tell you. Since we've got a lot of time on our hands!"

Henry, "Domainal Control!", After that, he looked surprised.

Henry, "This is my Domain?! But How?"

Eta, "I feel like there is something we haven't understood yet!"

Henry looked at Eta laser-focused, "*inhales deeply* I need time. Just a bit to have a read on my Domain!"

Eta nodded yes and looked at Ignos.

Henry folded his legs in a meditation position and closed his eyes.

Eta, "Then go on and explain how this works!"

Ignos, "Sure!", with a smile.

Ignos and Eta then engaged with each other.

Ignos took the 1st strike from Eta on the right cheek from Eta's left fist.

Ignos didn't expect the punch to be that fast, "Ouch! What the Hell! I thought I was going to explain how it works?"

Eta giggled, "You were just slow!"

Ignos was annoyed by the comment, but eventually, he calmed himself, "The Domain will never be mine. I can change it instead into something that favours me. I do that by simultaneously using my Zonal and Planetary Controls inside this Domain of his!"

Henry, "I understood that much I just didn't understand how I couldn't control my Domain", Ignos then smirked hearing that.

Henry, "But I now understand how!"

Ignos, "I doubt that"

Henry, "Alright then! I will tell you what I have deduced it to be!"

Eta started to disperse molecule-sized bubbles around the Domain, expecting Henry to have a plan ready.

Henry, "Firstly, your ability of Planetary Control doesn't affect my Domain without your Zonal Control. And Secondly, It can only create an illusion around us, Isn't it?"

Ignos's smirk faded as he heard it word by word, "You are right! But are you sure that's the maximum I can do?"

Henry, "That, I can't say unless I witness more of how you use it!"

Ignos then laughed in excitement, "Fascinating! You have figured me out!"

Eta looked behind, "You have?"

Henry nodded yes.

Eta, "Am I in it?"

Henry, "Of Course!"

Eta then disappeared.

Ignos was anticipating a sneak attack from Eta.

Henry then took the chance and transformed some of the bubbles into debris to throw at Ignos.

Ignos sensed The debris inside his Zone, and then he looked at Henry irritatedly, crossed his arms, "I am not interested in wasting my time unless this is exciting, and I am starting to lose interest!", as The debris turned into dust before it reached him and later the dust formed into a snake.

Henry ignored him at kept throwing debris at him, and it kept turning into dust as it entered Ignos's Zone.

Ignos, "*sigh* I guess you aren't listening. Oh! Wait! I got an idea. I will bring them here, and then it might get exciting. And also, I might see it!"

Henry telepathically, "What is he talking about?"

Eta, "Probably the main reason he was excited to face us and tell me a time when a demon was interested in a human?"

Henry, "Yeah! You are right, and that to the demon, so something special in you. There might be something he is trying to imply here, I feel!"

Eta, "Are you making fun of me?"

Henry, "No, but I want to know why?"

They then stopped talking telepathically.

Henry, "What is so special about Dad?"

They both stopped and Ignos, "There is a force above the Gods. After they die, they get reincarnated into a world as a creation of the Gods and die like any other creation after their days are counted. And I feel Eta is one of them, a former "Hi-Anken"!"

Henry didn't seem convinced, "That is Bullshit!"

Eta giggled as he appeared behind Ignos at the right time for Eta. Ignos wasn't focused on looking for Eta. Eta then put his right palm on Ignos.

That frightened Ignos.

Ignos, "No! That's not happening", he said it quickly in fear of death as if he already knew what would happen.

Henry and Eta then heard a heartbeat as time stopped in the space around them.

Henry, "What the!", as he tried to move and couldn't move an inch but only speak.

Henry then asked telepathically, "Was it that technique that triggered him? And What just happened?"

Eta, "I feel so, but now that doesn't do us any good if we are trapped like this!"

Ignos just got away from Eta as he looked at his hands trembling, "I- I just didn't want to d- die, that's why I. I don't know how b- but there is no doubt now!"

Eta, "I lost you there. What was that again?"

Ignos was scared just hearing Eta. Ignos calmed down, taking a deep breath in and out, later raising both his hands high. Portals started to appear around him. The time unpaused back to normal after they heard another heartbeat.

Ignos, "I am done playing around! Finish them!"

Henry, "That certainly frightened him. Maybe that would kill him in one swoop!"

Eta, "Yeah, I agree!"

Meanwhile, back at the Golden Valley, Leon was down already, as the demons swarmed him while protecting Pit. While Pit was still fighting against them with a force field that covered his whole body, Rhea supported him from inside the base with a force field. She shot a few that were trying to get to him through his blindspots.

The demons stopped moving as if they heard someone call all of them and headed back to the portals they came from.

Pit, "*pant* Finally! *pant* it is over!", as he fell to his knees and looked at Leon on the ground.

Pit, "Are you alive there?"

Leon, "Of Course I am!", as he got up and patted the dust of him.

Leon, "*hoof* That was a close one. I was almost about to faint!"

Pit smiled, "*inhales deeply*I am glad! You are alright!"

Pit then thought over what Leon just said.

Pit loudly, "Wait! I am the one who normally does that!"

Leon puts his left hand behind his head and smiles.

Back inside Henry's Domain, all the demons surrounded Henry and Eta.

Ignos, "Now, how do you feel about your situation? Not great, is it?"

Henry telepathically, "It wasn't great after we were inside the time gap!"

Eta, "Ya! I know", Eta forgot they were supposed to talk telepathically and instead told it aloud.

Ignos laughed in relief, "You were lucky back there. You also know that now don't you? I can't wait till I am out of here!"

Henry continued to telepathically speak to Eta, "Dad, I spoke through the mind, not through the mouth, dummy! And What is up with him now? Is it still about the earlier fear of you?"

Eta, this time spoke through telepathy.

Eta, "I am sorry! I was just surprised that this fight is starting to interest me!"

Ignos, "Finish them! And so I can take my leave from here!"

All the demons screamed synchronising voices like a wave, and then some of the Demons moved towards Eta and Henry while the others shot energy blasts at them.

Eta, "Now!", with a smirk.
