They stepped onto the hallway and found they were being transported via a moving platform. They were forced to move through some sort of laser array that reverted them all back to normal, it evens removed the restraints on me.
The platform lifted up a giant monitor that showed drunk Simon, "Top of the morning to you! I think it's morning. Anyways, now that those effects have been removed and after being trapped in the vault room for a week. You've finally made it to the last room." And then the recording just cut off there.
Isaac glared at me, "So everything from what vaults we were meant to go through was just him controlling us to get the desired effect?"
But Nyx defended analytically"I doubt it. If it's in dad's style then it's most likely he didn't control us at all and instead predicted what vault doors we went through and put the desired effects behind it."
As if on cue, the monitor reappeared, "Oh and by the way, I burp… I predict that at this point that you guys have come to the conclusion that I never controlled you and I just predicted your movements from the start… I beli-I believe that Nyx probably was the one who came to that conclusion."
Hearing the drunken god prophesies what had just been figured out, they all looked at Simon as if he were a monster and Dino said what everyone was thinking, " So evens blackout drunk, he's still smarter then all of us."
" C'mon guys, if you don't like it here, you could just break your way out." I tried to defend myself further.
" We tried too already. This place regenerates faster then we can damage it. And this place blocks out any spatial magic and skills" Velzard confirmed helplessly.
Suddenly the platform opened up and we were dropped.
We found ourselves in a giant mirror house, the walls, floor and ceilings all showed reflections of us. What made this harder was that it seemed that no amount of sensory skills have any sort of effectiveness.
Nyx: " Can it get any worse then this?"
Suddenly, on cue, the reflections all showed a malicious hungry smile towards us and exited the reflections, " You had to open your big mouth." Nyx showed a weak smile at me.
At that moment, the reflections jumped out at us and ambushed us from all angles. These were barely one percent of our full strength and lacked rational thoughts but just the sheer number of them made them a great annoyance.
I had deployed a absolute defense around us all, "Jeez, I both hate and am impressed by myself. I can't believe I did something like this."
Dino: "How the hell did you even do something like this?"
Dino seemed utterly confused by this but I just looked at him as if he were stupid, "Really, you can't tell? The mechanism is quite simple in fact."
Everyone just looked at me with the are you serious face. It really wasn't that hard to figure it out, the mirrors essentially create Parallel existences of the individual by siphoning external mana reactors™.
As for the malice towards the original individuals, that could be literally anything that I couldn't name them all.
Suddenly my clones stopped attacking us and just stared at me through the barrier with a starving, drooling smile, " Why don't you come out and be devoured by me?" The clone licked his lip.
I looked at the clone with seventy percent indifference, twenty percent exhaustion and ten percent malice, "You know at first, I only complied with this space to see what how I would do drunk but that interest has completely disappeared and I am absolutely fed up now."
Everyone in the room could feel the clear malice in my voice and felt a chill run down their spine, evens the clone grew agitated from my words but it was my next two words that made him go pale, "Disable limiters."
Immediately, my aura flooded the room like a tsunami bursting from nowhere, " HEY! Attack that man now!" The sudden rush of pressure that dwarved the very meaning of their existence and the sudden shout from that clone had made them all gain a slight bit of rationality.
They were now forced to attack the sole man who was now showing intense malice towards them, despite being the ones doing the ambushing, they were simultaneously the ones who felt like cornered animals about to be devoured whole.
…And that feeling was completely correct, the fact that this mirror house was contained meant that none of them could run away.
Nyx felt a dangerous premonition, a familiar danger that had plagued her heart as she felt the Chaotrons within her father begin to converge into his hand.
And then they heard the voice as the man lifted his hand, "Keep fighting all you want for it will not matter. Everything you fight for, everything you love for, it means nothing, All shall return to chaos."
Suddenly a black hole opened up in his hand as it expanded to devour everything around him
It sucked in space, time, magicules, Nihility, etc. The vacuum, not only destroyed the reflections but the entire space was consumed into nothingness, descending into the chaos from whence thine came.
The distortions had ruptured the entire foundation of Eden and created imploding shockwaves that reverberated throughout all infinite worlds.
Evens the cardinal world began to slowly collapse, spreading natural disasters across the continents and breaking dimensional barriers, causing demons and mystics to leak in from other worlds.
The vortex receeded and got smaller and smaller until it transformed into microscopic black hole that danced on the casters fingers.
The man slowly reached out to the black hole and immediately crushed it in his hand, as space cracked from it's collapsed and then immediately repaired itself by his command as he said two last words, "Reactivate limiters."
They all looked around and found the mirror house trapping them had ceased to exist. It was today that they all realized why this man had restrictions placed on him… he was too dangerous to exist.

???: "Did you feel that?" An angel was shook, no pun intended, by the shockwaves that had made his insides very uncomfortable.
???: "Feldway, is there something wrong?"
Feldway: "I don't know what it was but something had caused a massive disturbance to… everything. Zalario, go investigate this anomaly."
Zalario tried to exit but found that he couldn't, "We can't leave."
Feldways obsessive expression was confused, "Why not?"
Zalario: "It seems that something has temporarily severed the connection between the heavenly star palace and the cardinal world. The connection will repair itself but we have to wait."
Feldway wasn't panicking in the slightest, he just closed his eyes and began waiting.
