The Thing laid sprawling on the far side of the demon dimensions.
It twitched.
It was like watching a mountain range give birth as the cavern Aliyah had punched through It closed up, pseudopods rising, Its body reforming into something more hideous.
We didn’t kill It, Ruth thought, horrified. All that power, and we only drove it back–
I don’t know if it can be killed, Aliyah thought.
Then how do we…?
We hope Daddy seals the broach.
