"You know... The Underworld people really don't like you surface people." March 7th oh so helpfully pointed out to Bronya whose face twisted awkwardly.
As with the Creation Aeon on their side, they had moved in force with a few hundred Silvermane Guards down into the Underground, breaking through any Fragmentum monsters, and clearing out any debris quickly.
This lead the forces of the Nameless and the Belabog people meeting with the people of the Underworld which obviously had hard feelings for the surface people who had abandoned them, and then expected those people to just join up with them.
The main force of the Underworld in Wildfire along with the forces of the armies of machines in Svarog having met rather awkwardly with the Nameless, along with Bronya and Serval who were leading the Silvermane guards.
"We can glad that we didn't come to blows most of all." Dan Heng said calmly before he looked to Bronya and said. "Do you think we can actually pull aid from the Underworld people? Or will we need to just keep moving."
Bronya took a deep breath and then she said slowly. "I... There is obviously a good deal of hurt feelings between the surface world of and the underworld. So while I would love to say we should come together to end the Stellaron threat, it may not be that simple."
"It really is that simple... Ugh, why didn't we have our big scary Aeon just come with us so he could wave his hands and make people do what he says." Stelle grumbled somewhat in amuesment.
And Bronya's face tightened at the memory of the divine tree completely growing over and swallowing up the entire city of Belebog. And she said slowly. "An Aeon, may a bit too exciting for running around in the Underworld, it would be most unfortunate if its power broke the spatial elements in the underworld and began bringing it down."
But March 7th clapped her hands together and said firmly. "Nope! No more what ifs! Lets go meet Svarog again, he said he needed to do calculations based on having an Aeon's aid. And he has had plenty of time in my book!"
The Nameless all shared a look before Stelle said more easily. "Alright, having a machine army to deal with the chaff while we make our way to the Stellaron is the most important thing honestly."
Then Serval spoke with some warning. "We do have an small army of Silvermane Guards to worry about feeding though guys. So we literally can't afford to hang around in hostile territory without supplies."
While they were all talking they have been making their way through the more rough sections of the Underworld where there were small parts of Fragmentum Corruption which included Fragmuntum monsters as well.
But just as a large Stormbringer, an armored centaur like monster broke free of the glowing Fragmentum Corruption crystals several dozen meters away from the group. A loud rumble rang out through the underworld and everyone and everything looked up worried about a cave-in obviously.
Then it happened, rocks began falling from the ceiling but not large rocks nor in large numbers. Because thin glowing golden roots were weaving through the ceiling before much larger thicker roots broke through the ceiling and began quickly growing downwards towards the ground.
"Uhhh... I think our friend's tree is going to solo the Stellaron before we even get there." March 7th said weakly as those massive roots quickly found and destroyed the Fragmentum monsters and corruption.

"So what are you reading Jake?" Elysia asked me curiously as she looked up from her own romance book to see me reading my own book on my tablet that was connected to the Astral Expresses's library.
"Currently reading the novel form of one of March 7th's Immersia stories... The girl is an utter weeb for Xianzhou cultivation Immersia which is like full dive VR games." I muttered with some amusement as March 7th was hoping I could be 'inspired' from her so-called favorite setting.
But other than names being different it was the same cultivation slop from my previous universe honestly... Good slop that you would slurp down as it was perfect for wasting hours of your life away. But there was no denying the cookie-cutter feel to it.
And so while the rest of our group was off doing their own thing, saving the world basically... Elysia and I just spent the next half day literally just snacking, reading, and talking while we watched the divine tree go to town on the Fragmentum monsters that came at the city in waves.
At this point with myself having created an Emanator-level entity that's goal was the protection of a fixed point and its entire body was dozens of times bigger than that fixed point. There was nothing a hoard of chaff monsters could do that didn't have the true power of Nanook like what a Pathstrider or Emanator would have.
