We know too little about the gods and planes of this setting to make a sound hypothesis. Assuming that there are several celestial planes (lawful-, neutral- and chaotic- good), it could be possible for one (or even two) of such planes to have been consumed without Derek being unable to summon his planar ally Angelissa, but that would require her NOT being lawful.
Clerics would still keep their spells, since in this world they don’t worship specific gods and instead rely on concepts (good and knowledge, I’d say in Derek’s case)
Except that they do not worship the concepts without gods. The gods have conglomerated and split up the worship and duties of being the gods of luck and knowledge and whatever other domains there be.
It would probably require more planes to be blasted for them to lose their powers, but some weakening would be likely.
The upper planes tend to get along better than the lower planes in most of the material we’re working from. Working with the straitlaced Derek and the pure Madeline, she’s all business – and she’ll keep that up because that’s what their allies expect of her now. But if she’d run into our monster adventurers in other circumstances, who knows?
In a lot of D&D cosmologies, you don’t go straight to your final destination when you die. You have to pass through a transitional plane (usually the Astral). That could be where this is.

Huh. So maybe she didn’t go to a heaven because the heavens have already been consumed by the void?
Dang. That’s a good theory.

Which if that’s the case I think we’ve finally found our end of campaign boss fight
I doubt that. Derek can still summon Biguns, and she’s from the heavens.

I really hope Maddie somehow casts a spell that basically summons a flight of Valkyries to Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries to get everyone out.
Remember this has already happened. She was resurrected. And badly distressed and thrown off her game by what had happened.
Perhaps in the future?
Madeline has to keep closing her eyes because she’s fighting for her very soul (and sanity) here.
I don’t think I’m ready to ditch these two characters
They definitely have their charms.
Wow, there are so many meh’nstrosities now.
The vamp hipsters would be disappointed that their eldritch abominination has gone main stream.
At least they got to like it before it became popular.
The one vampires summoned seemed bit different from these and the one at the stadium. It didn’t have pincers.
Yeah, even when summoning an eldritch horror from beyond reality, they chose the one that didn’t look like any other.
