The power of the Dao of Yin and Yang was mystical, it was able to share its powers with all of Veronica and Ervas allies as long as they had a connection with him, and through gathering and refining these essences, they were able to grow explosively stronger.
Over time, they cultivated these powers and gained great power, and now, they were using such strength to infuse it into the split souls, the two that had been helping them through their lives since the moment they met them.
Some were created by them through their power of necromancy of life, but others were found by them along the way, and through their help, their lives became better, as they were given the help and the strength to fight against their own fates, and the many enemies they encountered along the way.
Although they wanted to fight once more, the split souls didn't let them, as it was too dangerous to go out for all of them… However, all of them were still able to help, from the Gods of Kritias to their friends they found in their first journeys such as the Squirrel-kin and more… all of them gathered together to aid them.
Through the power of the Daos of Yin and Yang, they gathered their Yin and Yang energies and fused them into the split souls' divine souls. However, there was something else!
Knowing that they couldn't bring them out, but that they required their help at the end, they had made a Dao for such a thing, a last trump card which they would use once they saw an opportunity to strike! And this was a beautiful golden Dao, the largest of them all glowing like a sun atop the skies of the divine realm…
It was another Grand Dao like the others, but this Dao grew stronger and shone brighter the more connections people made with the users…
Indeed, this was… the Grand Dao of Bonds!
-----
[Grand Dao of Bonds: Assimilation Level: 100%]
A Grand Dao with a simple ability, the ability that allows allies to share power with one another. The stronger is their bond and relationship, and the more years and time they had spent together, the more they have changed each other lives for the better, and the more they had impacted one another's personality and points of view, all of that, every single thing counted, the more all of this was, the more power could be shared. A Dao that might be weak for those that have never made bonds, but might be one of the strongest for those rulers that connect to their people.

The power of their wives, the children within their bellies, their friends, family, and even the pantheon of Gods of Kritias, all of this power gathered in one single place, the enormous shining sun atop the skies, this was the Star of Connections, the great manifestation of the Dao of Bonds!
FLAAASH!
The enormous and shiny star gathered such transcendental power and infused it into the fusion's body, giving them a large amount of temporary power, for a last boost!
The Celestial was growing weaker as he was receiving attacks, he was growing weaker no matter how much power he tried to use, and each blow into his soul consumed a small part of his power, taking away his resolve bite by bite!
Eventually, he lowered his guard as Veronica led the fusion's body, with Ervas, Aurora, Juliette, and Anastacia with her, all of them together swung the enormous phantasmal black blade, which was infused with the power of the Grand Dao of Bonds and the multiple other Daos they had!
SLAAAAASH!
A single swing of their sword was all it took! The blade pierced through the Celestial's body all the way down to his crotch, slicing him in half!
However… this time, he wasn't able to simply stick himself back together. The power of the Daos within that slice, alongside the power of the Job Medals Abilities resonating within the Split Souls Divine Realm all gathered together, separating and infecting his entire soul, slowing down his regeneration, as he saw the power of the Grand Dao of Devouring slowly consuming his strength, his will, and his resolve!
"No… T-This can't be…!" The Celestial looked back at the fusion with eyes filled with despair.
"This… can't be real…! No… I can't… I… Defeated… by these… lowly… beings?!" he muttered once more, as his two halves slowly began to separate from one another further and further…
"No… No… Father…! Father! FAAAAAATHEEEEEER!"
The Celestial, on his last moments, began to scream for help to his father, the same way Hekaton once did when the split souls destroyed him and devoured him!
However, no matter how much he screamed, nobody answered.
"Ah… F-Father…?"
And then, he realized that the one he admired so much, and the one he had been dedicating his entire life to was not someone that valued his life as anything but a disposable pawn…
The enormous mechanical body of the fusion shapeshifted into a gigantic and grotesque jaw, and then, it devoured the Celestial's two halves with a loud and crunching sound… and darkness, emptiness, and non-existence greeted the Celestial.
For all eternity.
Veronica and Ervas felt incredible weakened after that last attack, and because of that, they immediately decided to devour the Celestial and end him without asking him questions or anything else.
The moment they devoured him, he began to struggle to escape, but that was pointless, as he was torn apart to shreds until his entire essence was refined and assimilated completely, and his consciousness was broken down to pieces and consumed…
The moment this happened, the split souls and also Aurora, Juliette, and Anastacia that shared the same powers as the split souls when fusing with them, began to gain incredible amounts of power.
Because all of them were merged as one… this power was shared!
This was the transcendental power of a World Devourer-Realm entity!
And with him also came some Daos…
