While the strange debate about the Professor goes on, the villain himself quickly goes to work on the systems of the terminal. Within a minute he has used his great intelligence and refined hacking skills to turn the heating back on, put some enjoyable classical music on the speakers and summon a small flying robot with some wipes to clean down his hands. He also manages to successfully unlock the door, however, it seems like the Pig-Dragons attempts to burn its way out have welded the doors shut, so will require a little bit of force to open.

Gaunt finds himself on the summit of a large mountain with city spread out before him in all directions. The mountain itself is home to a large complex, with the huge figure that the hand belonged to laying face down and smashed through several of the buildings. A slight tingling of his senses suggests the being might actually be technically still alive of a fashion, but no way near enough energy to sustain the giant form, as if it has been drained dry...

Looking across the city which stretches as far as gaunt can see there are more style of architecture, heights, ages, colours, shapes and materials of building than he could even consider. But that it not what immediately grabs his attention - various figures are positioned across the city, and channelling energy into some kind of barrier across the sky. There are several more colossal beings akin to the thing that has smashed this building standing and pouring energy soundlessly from their mouths, a giant being carved from stone stands nearest to Leland's current position and is channelling energy that looks like rainfall upwards into the barrier. A few human sized figures can be seen hovering in the air as well as the giants, pouring torrents of lightning, magical fire, a stream of nanites, strange eldritch coils of smoke, a bizarre flood of small pieces of paper and stranger things besides, into re-enforcing this shield.

It is not immediately apparent what possible reason such an incredible array of powers could be unified into protecting - demons and angels, wizards and machines, dark twisted abominations and cosmic entities, all together with one purpose. Then he spots it. A tiny black speck that you wouldn't even see if you were looking for something, poised near perpendicular above him. A tiny black spot - one that all his Demon senses scream to him represents the end of the multiverse itself.
