While the beetle was occupied with the two Archangels, the other Angels seized the opportunity to retreat towards the portal, one of them carrying Elise. Their goal was to distance themselves from the battle to regain strength and safely send Elise through the spatial passage.
Once inside the passage, they were shielded from the chaotic energies that were raging outside. This was necessary since even the slightest bit of energy touching her would have been fatal for the injured Archangel.
As Elise emerged on the other side, she was stunned by what she saw. The planet had completely vanished, leaving only a core about five kilometers in diameter floating in its place. The surface of the core was covered with an intricate web of runes, so complex that looking at them made her eyes hurt. New runes formed every second, covering more and more of the core's surface.
