The power of Lanthanou surged out swiftly.
But unlike the previous attack that caused everything to be forgotten within the darkness, this one spread out and was not determined to attack the team.
The halved Crown of Lanthanou began to tremble, and Kyros saw it.
A strange, dark green appeared as the two crowns began to disintegrate. The power of the second Crown was far stronger than the first.
"Two Crowns?! He has two crowns!" Kyros shouted when he saw it and tried to harness another slash. But as Kyros aid his blow, he felt the power of forgetfulness surging. Glancing at it caused Kyros to sense that he had forgotten sothing.
Everyone else sohow forgot to make attacks as they looked at it.
Kyros felt that he needed to do sothing.
Only Calaminus, who was not looking at the Crown directly as he didn't have physical eyes, wasn't affected. However, he knew what was happening and knew that he needed to act fast. So he allowed himself to be his natural crazy self. And as Calaminus allowed his eccentricity to take place, he cried out a very Calaminus alarm that would draw everyone's attention.
"It's a-! Mario!" Calaminus shouted and harnessed all the power in his Ti Core.
Kyros frowned and turned at Calaminus and was about to curse at him. But as Kyros turned then recalled what he needed to do.
Everyone reacted similarly, and all began to realize that they were not acting or moving.
Kyros was the first one to react.
SLASH!
Kyros quickly made another slash as he began to cut through the strange power that was surging out of the darkness.
The power of the [Star Severing Slash] was sent out.
"Don't look directly at the Crown and make your attack!" Kyros ordered, and everyone else followed.
Everyone was looking elsewhere and quickly shot out another round of attack.
The entire attacks were launched. Only Rachel and Lea perford a different attack as they shot out the darkness they absorbed to push the approaching darkness.
The attacks were sent out, and everyone was able to defend against the darkness.
But Kyros noticed that there was a strange weakness in the darkness that they faced.
"Above! The power is surging above!" Listrel warned.
"No. Not above. It's covering this entire page." Histerion frowned.
The powers of darkness had spread out as it shot to the skies. All the ranged attacks struck the Crown that appeared, and an explosion resounded.
"Nothing is truly forgotten unless it's gone! And my power can never really manifest itself unless I die! The death of my incarnation releases the true power of my Crown! This entire world will be forever lost! With this incarnation gone, I curse this entire realm to be forgotten!" Lanthanou laughed as the darkness shot towards the sky.
The two halves of Lanthanou and the Crown began to dissipate.
And suddenly, the entire darkness spread out and vanished as everyone remained standing in their respective places.
"...We did it?" Hems were surprised.
The darkness began to expand out endlessly. Everyone thought that the darkness had attacked them, but the massive amount of darkness only exploded out and covered the world.
"That's it? He's dead?"
"God Histerion. Did we do it?"
"Killed the incarnation? Yes. Won the battle no." Kyros cursed as he watched the entire skies.
"What's going on?"
"We're forgetting and is being forgotten. As we speak, all the proof of our existence is being wiped out in the real world."
"What? Impossible! How can he do that?
"He sealed the entire Unrecorded Pages. What a smart gamble. Save for a few of the strongest gods and fallen, very few in the Present know about the Unrecorded Pages. This is because nurous powers instantly curse this realm. End, Entropy, History, Oblivion, and Darkness. Right now, he is closing the mory of things making people forget everything about this place. The existing powers that have hindered people from rembering this place are now being heightened. And so, just as we managed to make the world forget about the Unrecorded Pages, everyone is now forgetting everything inside this place. And that includes four certain individuals."
"Us..." Listrel frowned.
"Exactly." Kyros sighed.
"Nephilim. I'm sorry. But I cannot fulfill your promise." Histerion sighed as he could feel the realms close up.
"So... we lose? Just like... that?" H
"This was part of his plan. When he sent his incarnation inside, he knew it could end in this. And so he sealed this entire place. My true body won't be able to find this place. And the presence of darkness is too much. So that even if I exhaust all the Brimstone in this world, I can't bring you back into the world!" Histerion sighed as his entire fra turned small.
"Are there other ways? Wisdom and Fate must have sothing to throw a wrench in these plans! The arrangent of Fate and Wisdom has been so precise." chiel spoke.
"In my mories, I can see that my two lives were arranged in a way that will help the power of the Nephilim grow. I can sense sothing. A lie. If Kyros's father is the Lord of Lies, then I believe the Chard Fallen was a secret ally!"
"An ally? Isn't she one who swore to serve End and Destiny?" Histerion asked.
"And yet, my two lives have always been for Kyros's benefit! I aided in the ascension of the Nephilim. If not for interfering and saving his life in that past life, the Calaminus wouldn't have had the chance to bestow his powers and create this tiline. There should be sothing, sothing that is already set that will help you breach this place!" chiel exclaid.
"That does sound possible." Kyros nodded.
"I refuse to believe that Fate, Wisdom, and my Father will allow it to be like this. I am Mysterion, a hidden weapon by Beginning! Nurous layers of plots were created to hide . And even now, I still am hidden from the reaches of Destiny and Ends n. chiel is right. If we don't have anything in this world, then there should be sothing in the real world that will help us escape this curse!"
"Sothing in the real world?" Hems pondered.
"Middle?" chiel guessed.
"Middle?"
"A planet called Middle. We found it in the Nephilim Sealing Mountain. It's a place outside of ti and space. But I don't think Middle can help us."
"Kyros! You! You can help!" Calaminus recalled.
"?"
"Yes! There is another part of you left in that world!"
"The Temple?" Kyros asked again.
"Yes! When you got unsealed in that Temple, you fainted. So I took the liberty of exploring and analyzing the Temple. And I discovered the Temple itself harnesses a mysterious power. Despite its brimming energy and how you have used it, the gods and fallen has yet to discover it! Even I couldn't access it until you programd the Temple too!"
"You an it has Mysterion?! Then that works. I assud that even the Temple would forget about and either beco dormant or seek another successor! But if that's the case, then that Temple will always rember ! Histerion!" Kyros turned to Histerion.
Histerion closed his eyes and smiled.
"Your right. I can feel it! The gap that Lanthanou is trying to close and seal isn't closing! We don't have much ti! Kyros! With the power I have left with , I can send up to six individuals now! That's the maximum based on the amount of energy I have! Decide who will go!"
Everyone heard it, and the entire land was silent. Only six could be saved.
"Does the Okto-Khefali core and Calaminus include those six individuals?" Kyros asked.
"No. Calaminus is bonded with you, and the Okto-Khefali has now communed with chiel." Histerion explained.
"Then send only five of us." Kyros decided.
"What? Five? Why five?!"
"Breveros is an Eldrich. I don't trust him. Lea and Gradius would not want to be separated from each other but will choose to die with each other. So send five. us four who originally arrived here, and Hems." Kyros turned to the Breveros and was about to apologize out of courtesy.
"It's alright, Lord Miracle. I understand. That is my sin." Breveros spoke ahead.
Kyros then turned to Gradius and Lea.
"Thank you." Lea only smiled. If Kyros had demanded more from them, they would have agreed, but their hearts would have been torn asunder. Instead, Lea approached and held Gradius.
"We've already accepted death. It's amazing that we hoped and defeated that god." Gradius smiled.
"We don't have ti! If we take any longer, Lanthanou will get suspicious! Are you sure? You will be the ones I will send and write in the Recorded Pages?"
A powerful light surged as Light and Darkness flashed around Kyros and enveloped all living beings on the battlefield with Mysterion.
"Yes. Do it. Send us to the world now!" Kyros answered.
