With both Daisy and Lamiana down, the only ones who remained were Alice and Gamond, if Arad didn't count Kali's archons. But there was something special about those two that set them apart from all of Arad's other wives, and it was that they were both absolute ends of draconic power.
Gamond, the silent ice age and herald of the absolute zero stands face to face against the blazing purple sun Eris. While in terms of raw power, Eris was far stronger than Gamond, the two in a realistic fight were nearly equal.
That one fact was extremely important to Arad because he was about to get sandwiched between those two, and have his body crushed by their rampaging might.
Inside the mortal world, or inside Arad's world, Eris and Gamond were equal in a fight for one reason, and that was due to the universe's law restricting Eris's power. Gamond, who was a planet destroyer, could never match a literal sun like Eris without such rules in place.
