Origin breaks into balls of light and begins merging with Jacob, Denton is changing into his final form, black lightning cackles around Max, reality begins to waver around CJ, Phillip's flames grow fiercer, Spencer's Echo gives off the gilded glow, Bryant's body begins to change, and Isaac's human parts begin to be covered by metal.

Horus: "What're you doing?!"

Denton enters God Killer class.

Denton: "You want to know why we're standing here?"

Bryant changes to his meme glory.

Bryant: "That personal information had the opposite effect."

CJ steps forward.

CJ: "It only broke us for a minute."

Spencer assumes a fighting stance.

Spencer: "And we may have seen the grave for a minute."

Isaac has finished changing.

Isaac: "And all we did was come out stronger."

Max changes into Cacophony.

Max: "So that's why your body is ripping itself apart."

Phillip takes a step forward.

Phillip: "Because we're stronger than you anticipated."

Jacob's transformation finishes.

Jacob: "... die."

Everyone begins their onslaught on Horus, Bryant and Phillip leading the charge.

Horus: "H-How?!"

Horus manages to block some of the force from the punches from Bryant and Phillip, but his arms still slam into his chest, causing some blood to squirt from the tears.

Bryant: "Creations are born from a Catalyst's flaws."

Phillip and Bryant strike Horus from the front and back simultaneously.

Phillip: "Realizing and accepting those flaws are what made this happen."

Denton and Spencer step up.

Spencer: "Nameless Wave!"

A bright light fills the room before fading, draining away Horus's strength.

Denton: "Flashy."

Denton lunges forward before swinging his blade to Horus's side, causing his body to tear more.

Spencer: "Thanks, I try."

Horus is sent flying to the side, but he ends up right back where we started.

Horus: "Wh-What?!"

CJ: "Reality bends to the beat of my heart asshat."

Isaac's cannons are lined up perfectly at Horus's back as he keeps trying to run away, but always returns to where he started.

Isaac: "Useless, useless, useless, useless, useless, useless!"

Isaac fires, searing Horus's back and causing him to cough up a lot of blood.

Horus: "(weakly) Please..."

Max instantly gets behind Horus before lodging his scythe right through his back.

Max: "You're up!"

Jacob gets in front of Horus in less than a blink of an eye.

Jacob: "... Let's... end this..."

Max rips th blade out as Jacob kicks Horus up like a hackysack and his head caught in Jacob's grip.

Horus: "Please... have mercy!"

The tears are growing larger and larger as Jacob kicks Horus towards Phillip.

Phillip: "Ah it's like the beach episode that never happened."

Phillip slugs Horus over to Bryant.

Bryant: "Oh boy!'

Bryant does the same over to Spencer.

Spencer: "Iron Fist Wave!"

Spencer repeats the process over to CJ.

CJ: "Denton!"

CJ uses his navy blue energy to redirect Horus over to Denton.

Denton: "This home run is heading for you Isaac!"

Denton uses his sword like a bat and sends Horus over to Isaac.

Isaac: "Oopsies..."

Isaac shoots Horus over to Max.

Isaac: "... I made a poopsies."

Max catches Horus on his scythe blade.

Max: "Finish this fucker!"

Horus is tossed into the air, helpless in the current situation.

Jacob: "I'm... on it."

Jacob leaps into the air as Horus begins to fall.

Horus: "(in head) My own greed was what killed me..."

Jacob fires a barrage of unseen punches, turning Horus into a pulsing pile of flesh.

However...

Enemies: "What's happening to me?!"

The enemy Creations are fading into dust.

Heroes: "That's all we had to do!"

The Creations fade away.

Meanwhile...

The Catalysts change back, clearly drained from the battle.

Catalysts: "(exhausted) It's... finally over..."
