The defeat in Starling City not only dealt a heavy blow to Sophia but also caused her Blood Moon power to spiral completely out of control. Initially, Sophia had merely been under the influence of the Blood Moon. While it dominated her consciousness to some extent, she still retained the ability to think. However, after sustaining significant damage, the now uncontrollable Blood Moon energy transformed Sophia into a full-fledged monster. She was now mindlessly wielding the Blood Moon's power.

As more and more werewolves emerged, a legion of them surrounded Sophia. The newly created werewolves began to hunt for prey, wiping out nearly all living creatures in the jungle. Even the more powerful monsters fell victim to them, as werewolves excelled in group combat.

Not far from Sophia, a deep shadow took the form of Shadow Celestial. Watching the crazed Sophia, Shadow Celestial couldn't help but sigh. "I had hoped you could become my ally, but it seems I overestimated your strength. Perhaps it's not your power I overestimated, but your will. The influence of the Blood Moon on the mind is just too overwhelming."

After speaking, Shadow Celestial looked up at the sky. The blood-red moon instilled a sense of fear in him. It hung low, almost touching the horizon. Shadow Celestial felt that the moment the moon made contact with the ground would mark the end of the Shelter Game world.

Shaking his head, he tried to dispel the fear that lingered in his mind. "The power of the Blood Moon isn't truly that strong. I just need to acquire a more potent chaotic energy to shield myself from its influence."

After muttering this to himself, Shadow Celestial vanished from sight. He had come to discuss a potential collaboration with Sophia, but with her now lost to madness, any hope for cooperation was gone. Shadow Celestial would have to devise a plan to counter Irving on his own.

As Shadow Celestial's figure disappeared, Sophia's blood-red eyes suddenly darted toward the spot where he had just been standing.

A strange, twisted smile crept across Sophia's face. "All of you will become slaves of the Blood Moon."

In a voice that was chilling and beyond description, she muttered to herself. Her words even affected the werewolves around her. They all lifted their heads in unison, their eyes locked onto the blood-red moon in the sky, and began to howl in perfect synchrony. The entire forest had been completely enveloped by the power of the Blood Moon, which continued to spread outward.

Even though the Shelter Game world was populated by many powerful monsters and some hidden deities of great strength, these formidable beings were still unable to resist the might of the Blood Moon. Packs of werewolves surged out of the forest, bringing their Blood Moon energy to other areas. Their first target was, of course, the Night Blades.

The Night Blades controlled a significant amount of territory within the Shelter Game world, and one of their important strongholds lay not far from the forest where Sophia resided. As the howls echoed from the depths of the woods, fear gripped the members of the Night Blades. The blood-red moon cast a pink hue over the land, and combined with the eerie howling from the forest, the entire scene felt surreal and frenzied.

Under this oppressive atmosphere, members of the Night Blades gradually began to transform into werewolves. The strongest among them managed to use a spatial artifact to barely escape. Soon, the elders of the Night Blades learned of what was happening, but none of them wished to go to the scene in person. They all understood that the power of the Blood Moon was beyond their capacity to confront.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Some of the elders, who were collaborating with Elder Astra, realized that Astra's plan might encounter serious problems. After all, the Blood Moon power Sophia displayed had escalated to an unbelievable level. Certain elders among the Night Blades wanted to inform Elder Astra of this alarming news. However, Shadow Celestial took swift action.

He instructed all members of the Night Blades to keep this information under wraps. Anyone who dared to leak it would be cursed by chaotic forces. Shadow Celestial also gathered the stronger members of the Night Blades together, all while waiting for Elder Astra's plan to unfold.

From the very beginning, Shadow Celestial was aware of Astra's collaboration with the Chaos Entity. He did not expose their scheme but merely intended to use them for his own ends. His original plan was to ally with Sophia; once she was summoned into the real world, Shadow Celestial would appear at the right moment to join forces with her. This way, he and Sophia stood a good chance of defeating Irving.

However, Sophia's descent into madness threw a wrench into Shadow Celestial's original plans. Hence, his new strategy was to observe from the sidelines. He wanted to witness just how powerful Sophia could become under the full influence of the Blood Moon. If she managed to defeat Irving, Shadow Celestial would find a way to keep her permanently in the real world, allowing him to turn the Shelter Game realm into his own territory. Conversely, if Sophia failed to vanquish Irving, Shadow Celestial would leverage his artifacts to gain control over a portion of the Blood Moon's power. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, he believed he would come out ahead.

In this scenario, Shadow Celestial had no intention of interfering with anyone's actions. Time flew by quickly, and before long, it was noon the next day. Elder Astra and the Chaos Entity had made all the necessary preparations. Astra's operation once again involved the Dark Portal. Everything seemed to be going smoothly; he wasn't facing any difficulties from Shadow Celestial's loyal followers, and it appeared that Shadow Celestial wasn't closely monitoring his every move.

This smoothness felt a bit odd to Astra. "What's going on? Why does it seem like Shadow Celestial isn't paying attention to me? Has he stopped suspecting me?" Elder Astra didn't believe that Shadow Celestial would easily trust him. Nevertheless, he knew he had to act immediately, as the agreed-upon time with Irving was approaching. If he failed to take action at the designated time, the entire plan would collapse.

Before Astra made his move, the Chaos Entity requested a final meeting with him. "Your operation must succeed! Only by plunging Starling City into chaos can I effectively perform the ritual to summon Sophia. Although Irving has agreed to cooperate with us, we must still be prepared for unexpected situations."

The Chaos Entity's warning was indeed valid. Astra silently nodded in agreement. "You're right. My upcoming actions will be swift and successful. Once I succeed, you can summon Sophia immediately."

After exchanging those words, Elder Astra set his plan into motion. At the same time, Irving and his group arrived at the outskirts of Starling City. They were aware that an attack was imminent, so they had already evacuated some of the ordinary citizens. However, to avoid raising any suspicions with Shadow Celestial, they hadn't evacuated everyone.

"The time is almost here; Elder Astra will soon take action. We need to make our final preparations for battle," Irving reminded his companions once again. James, Benjamin, and Aron were all ready for the fight ahead. They understood that the coming battle would be fierce, so they had brought their most prized weapons with them.

Just a few minutes later, a massive explosion echoed through the city center of Starling City. Above the urban skyline, a gigantic dark void suddenly appeared, and a swarm of Dark Monsters began to spill out from the rift. This was clearly the effect of the Dark Portal.

Elder Astra had been waiting for the right moment to utilize the Dark Portal, and now he finally had the chance to unleash its power. As these Dark Monsters descended into Starling City, chaos erupted throughout the streets.

Aron watched the scene unfold with a serious expression. "When will Sophia be summoned into the real world?" he asked, his tone heavy with concern.

"Don't worry! The Chaos Entity and Elder Astra will not go back on their word! Sophia will be summoned here soon," Irving reassured Aron.

In a corner of Starling City, the Chaos Entity harnessed its overwhelming chaotic power to create a magical formation. At the center of this formation lay an object radiating the potent energy of the Blood Moon. As the chaotic energy intensified, a shimmering portal began to materialize at the heart of the magical formation, fully absorbing the Blood Moon's power.

At the same time, in the Shelter Game world, Sophia felt a powerful call resonating within her. A portal suddenly opened before her. Completely engulfed by madness, Sophia felt no hesitation; she stepped forward, one foot after the other, toward the portal.
