Obviously the one who stopped the Devil King from escaping was Ariana. She was always waiting in a nearby space crack for this exact purpose. When she found that the Devil King was able to find a path of escape and he was soon going to run away, she used her unique ability to weave strings out of the time and space. Then she used those strings to bind the Devil King.
As she was overwhelmingly stronger than him, the Devil King was unable to even move. Obviously she didn't just let him stay in one place and let the Supreme Goddesses hit him as much as they wanted as that would not help the Supreme Goddesses in getting some training done.
When the Supreme Goddesses had already blocked the escape route and was once again getting ready to fight, she released the binding on the Devil King.
In this whole process, Ariana was invisible for the whole time. So, she was like a huge and heavy boulder on the Devil King's shoulder, as he once again started fighting against the Supreme Goddesses.
Among them the one fighting with the most enthusiasm was Ster as she was still worked up by the Devil King's words and mockery from before. Whereas, Noier and Lya were taking a passive and supporting role. Asteria was their cute younger sister, so as big sisters it was their intention to strengthen Ster's combat ability more.
Ster was also improving at a very quick rate as she fought more against someone stronger than her. Noier had a massive advantage against the Devil King as she had the Destiny Magic. The Devil king was very weak against the fate concept and he had no resistance for it.
This fight was not only very useful for Ster but her two elder sisters also got several useful things from fighting the Devil King. Noier's ability to use magic got even more precise and perfect. Lya also got some inspiration to evolve her Gravity Magic as the Devil King had a evolved form of it.
Soon, the end of this whole battle was coming closer. The Devil King was on his last legs and was going to fall very soon. This was a very bad situation for the Devil King.
In his very last moments the ruthlessness in the heart of the Devil King was completely awakened and he evolved in a super strong form, at the cost of losing his life completely after a certain amount of time.
This was a do or die move from him. He was very sure that there was no way for him to leave the battlefield alive today. So, in desperation he used her last of the life force to gain a bit more power.
As a Devil, he definitely had a fierce and unyielding personality. So at the verge of death, he wished to perish, not alone but together with at least one of the Goddess.
Among the opponents he was facing, Ster was definitely the weakest among the three. Not only that, she was also closest to the Devil King Ramposha as she was fighting him in close quarters combat.
So, after the sudden strength-gain he used all of that strength instantly against her. It was so sudden that Noier and Lya weren't even able to react before Ster fell into danger.
After the strengthening of the Devil King, he was at least more than 2.5 times stronger than before. So, Ster wasn't able to last even 5 rounds against him. Soon the claws of the Devil King were getting magnified in front of her eyes. The Supreme Goddesses of Heart and Bravery, Asteria was going to be killed by the Devil King.
Now others might believe in Ariana to be able to save Ster's life with her superior ability. And yes, it was a true assumption. Ariana definitely had the power to instantly defeat even this strengthened Devil King. But Elena's order for her in this battle was just to stop the Devil King from running away.
Even tho she was a very intelligent individual she was very specific about obeying Elena's order. She also didn't have any intimate feelings towards the Supreme Goddesses. So, even tho she had the ability she would not help Ster in this situation.
But there was someone present on this battlefield who would definitely save her as Ster was one of her rare few friends. Elena would never let her friend suffer. But did she need to appear for the current situation?
The answer was - "HELL NO".
She didn't tell the Goddess in detail what her buffs would do. That was the reason they were panicking. With the blessing of <Nirvana Resurrection>, even if Ster died she would still get resurrected.
And that was exactly what happened. Ster was killed by the Devil King and two remaining Supreme Goddesses fell into intense despair and rage seeing that. But even before they could vent their anger and went all out, a tiny fire bloomed in the void of the space.
In a blink of an eye that tiny spark of fire turned into the body shape of an attractive female and the fire started to die down. From the dying amber Ster appeared perfectly fine. She even looked like she was stronger than before. That was actually the case.
Nirvana Resurrection didn't only resurrect someone in the perfect condition but also gave them stat boosts all around for a certain amount of time. It also increased chances of breaking through any bottleneck one might have.
After getting suddenly resurrected Ster was astonished only for a moment but soon she regained her bearings. She found out that in the situation where she actually died she was able to break through her bottleneck and was finally able to evolve her Material Magic to Source Magic. She had also improved her skills in using the halberd by quite a bit too. This time around Ster started to fight the Devil King on the equal footing even when he was in his strengthened form. She was not able to overpowered him but was able to keep up with the Devil King easily.
Even tho Ster was having a time limited boost, she was not going to instantly die when the time was up. But the Devil King was going to instantly die when his time for the strengthening was up. Ster was able to stall the Devil King easily for the remaining amount of time he had left and the strong and proud Devil King died a miserable death filled with indignation after he ran out of time.
After that Elena simply transferred all the somewhat good individuals of the world FITURA inside her Mini World and then destroyed the Evil World using an Ultimate rank magic spell.
Finally the fight between the Gods and the Devils was over.
