At Chris' secret garden, Jack and the others watched the events that transpired from the projection inside the lake pavilion. The arrival of the divine factions injected a new fighting spirit into the defenders. They now fought the demons vigorously.

"Do they have to cut it so close? Why didn't they just be on standby at the walls like everyone else?" Paytowin complained.
"The divine factions have their pride. They are not on anyone's beck-and-call list," Wilted explained. "I bet they only started moving after getting the wind that the battle had started."
"We should just be grateful they come at all," Jeanny said.
"You are welcome," Chris responded.
The others gave him side eyes with annoyed expressions. The dude acted like it was all his accomplishment. Even though it was indeed so, seeing him sit there and relax every day while everyone was putting in the effort made them feel like slapping him on the head.
