The cracking sound was what everyone was waiting for, so when it appeared, they all turned and started making their way to the egg.
The battles were almost over.
Lady Beyhos and Kaz had joined the other two beast gods to knock out the remaining mercenary gods and allow Icon to take them away and extract their souls, which Klaus planned to use as weapon spirits.
As for the demigods, he allowed them to be killed so Asmodeus would turn them into his undead. Asmodeus was even luckier, for he got to get his hands on one god's body, thanks to Crux and the other demigod killing a Real stage God.
Naturally, with the mercenary gods dead, it wasn't long before the immortals and remaining demigods died too.
With Asmodeus taking care of that, Klaus commanded the four beast gods to be on high alert and make sure no god sneaked up on him.
