Despite the storming, the thrashing wind around, there has still been light basking from Kolokifi's form. But as Zagreus's call, the sky - brightened by the figure of Kolokifi alone - darkens high above and begins to bear down as everything happens. Light shifting, but not fully blinding the Voidtreckers in darkness.
(You have called is spoken to Zagreus, no voice but the essence of night itself left imprinted inside his mind. Approval, acknowledgement, as the battle continues.)
For a moment it distracts Kolokifi, a scream erupting from her that brightens her body in a greater fury of light, but the night continues to bear down. Her arms have paused briefly, and some of the whirlwinds and pressing winds die down with Jingyi's concentration allowed. Nypsia can shroud those higher in the sky, which is how when Kolokifi continues to reach out and grab someone, it's Trunks that she pulls in with her, grasped tightly in her burning hand - much to her own displeasure.
'No! NO! You are not THEM, you are in the WAY!'
He won't get time to use that blade right now, the crackling lightning doing nothing to dissuade Kolokifi as she throws him in Kyoko's direction. But then there are Cassie and Usagi's efforts, Cassie's blasting at the hands that start reaching again in Zagreus's (and Emporio and Thanatos's) direction and directing its attention to throw itself out at her, while Usagi's healing energy seems to do nothing at first, except - a darkness billows out around her and some of the Ministry and whoever else is near, causing the lower golden tendrils to dissipate.
(Child. It's not a voice, but a presence in Usagi's mind without infiltrating her thoughts; the same way that night itself is present without needing more than darkness itself. I am Nypsia, I am the Night. You are the Moon. I will grant you a blessing: Accept it, and we will shrink the Sun's reach with your power.)
There are no immediate tendrils ground level, but Kolokifi seems unconcerned, more focused on seeking out Thanatos and Emporio. She waves a brightened hand in their direction to fight Nypsia's darkness, likely to snatch Zagreus unless he moves.
Her body gurgles, and there is a pause, whether she's gotten a hold of anyone, whether she hasn't. Then her head turns, her mask and halo slow to follow the mass of white and gold mass existing behind it like a burning star. Looking somewhere in Death's direction.
'It's happening,' some low voice to the ground cries, and it trembles with the words, a deep grieving under in the dirt. 'The premonition is coming true... we were supposed to stop...'
But the laughter rises up again, and her head begins to turn back its attention to where it was.
