Sarada and Blizzar, the tendrils are burned away now by Ochazuke.

“The Oracle showed me futures. Specifically, she showed be Genesis, and she showed me Inanna. She showed me the potential damage either unchecked could cause. Universe ending damage.”
He sits down and pours a cup of tea for them both.
“I watched, plotted, and waited. Gathered intel and items and allies. Ishtar was dangerous, but not a threat, but when she became Inanna she no longer had Ishtar’s....restraint. Like Genesis, Inanna acts out of desire without concern for collateral. When Sarada was almost taken by Auroc, Inanna almost blew up the planet.”
He ticks his fingers.
“On Reshlan, she almost did the same. And Parsley was spurned on to do something much the same just recently, almost blowing up Darkle to get at my allies. Millions, billions dead that had no hand in the deaths of your friends.”
He shakes his head.
“What’s worse is Inanna, like Genesis, keeps looking for more: more power, more ways to transcend. Even using a tainted Angel like Lampton to learn how too. And much of this she has withheld from her companions. Night, Remnant, Lampton, and other examples of her seeking power without contemplating the consequences. She’s playing fast and loose and eventually, it will be too much. I even have an example on hand: The Ishtar in my company already fell, and though her potential is less than Inanna’s, she still has the same flaws.”

What? Whispers in her head?
It felt like there were hundreds, if not thousands of other voices in her head, whispering in that hushed hiss that was just loud enough on an individual level to be irritating. Combined with near countless others, she couldn't hear her own thoughts. She clapped a hand over an ear to drown it out, but it did nothing. Her teeth ground together like a mortar and pestle. "Damn it," she growled.
This, however, was the least of it. A slash to her wrist not only knocked her ax away, but also severed her tendon. Her hand was useless. She grit her teeth tighter to keep from crying out in pain, but still let out a growl that sounded muffled. "Damn you!"
She fired a Dark Spiral beam at Balac in hopes of striking something important.

Sarada, by some miracle, was freed from the tendrils. It wasn't her own doing, that much she did know. The incorporeal energies - that probably wasn't the right word, but sue her, she was pissed and preoccupied - she felt right before then felt like Ochazuke. Heh, that human; always fighting from a distance and for maximum efficacy.
Freed, she drew her knife and prepared to move forward. She watched Blizzar's hand vanish into the book and grimaced. Alright, book is a big problem. Tch! She flashed forward, flanking the Gallows' Lord while he and his book were busy with Blizzar. She dipped low, brining her knife to bear and slashing the blade across the tendons in his knees.
The fires burn the tendrils and the Rings all seems to be melting as well.
Zaofan’s blows shatter the Containment Sphere the Last Daughter was inside with Lady Binder, the only thing that probably saved the Fae’s life. It happened almost too fast to be seen, but instinct and her own super speed gives Binder just enough time to gasp and recoil as the barrier fails.
The Last Daughter lunges and pushes Lady Binder through the portal to safety, taking Zaofan’s blows upon her back and roaring in pain as the human hammers her from behind.
