The wires seem to retract from bahamut when he reaches them, having served their purpose and retreat underground only for kihaku to be completely coated in them, leaving her no where to run as they even spread beyond her to nathan in their search for magical attunment, seeming to follow her just as quickly as she ran while the creature lets out a hissing sound made from the scrapping of wires together at high speeds at cosmos, his death having literally stared him in the face before turning to void walker in the sky and shooting the rest of it's wires up at the portals, grasping them as if they were physical and shrinking it's hold on them, crushing them as it devours their magic sustaining them and closes them forcefully, void walker's not inconsiderable mystical might able to keep them open nearly up to the point the star goes supernova before the portals are forcefully closed, her strength drained to the point she probably couldn't do that again in this fight without considerable strain on her body. Even as she recuperates two small, incredibly thin wires shoot at her, chasing her teleportations unless she actively leaves and stays out of the universe.

While all this is going on however, Kihaku and nathan are constricted and sought out by the other mass of wires attempting to devour kihaku and inadvertently torturing nathan. Each time they come into contact it feels like Kihaku as a small part of herself ripped away forcefully, her sustained presence not being the best idea especially since cosmos's attempts to free them were probably to no avail depending on what he tried
