Ascension of the Nephilim

Kyros saw only a strange flashing light. The power of Time Surge that he released from Calaminus caused a strange ripple that brought in new power.

Kyros felt the cores shaking and sensed the same power somewhere at the bottom.

"That freakin' Fate!" Kyros realized what had happened. Their battle somehow led them to a region directly above the secret underground chamber where the actual body of the Okto-Khefali was.

The attack that was at the levels of Crowns had occurred at the very top.

The Divine Wall did not allow the force energy to go through it. The impact of the attack created a massive fissure on the ground and weakened the integrity of the caves. All of this caused the crack at a strange seal hidden at the bottom. This was the secret seal where the Okto-Khefali laid.

And the attack raged to the bottom, creating a crack in the seals of the Okto-Khefali. The beast had been trying to break free, and the massive attack further weakened the seals as the attacks surged downwards.

The seal itself was not just a seal of the locality. It was a seal of being locked in time. The Okto-Khefali was one of Destiny's weapons which he sealed and kept hidden through the power of Pausontai. He was one of End's strongest commanders and was one of the powers that brought the End as he is the being that was the aspect of Stop itself.

But now, a strange conflict occurred. The power of Stop had ended. And it freed the Okto-Khefali that was locked in time.

At that moment, a being of immense power and preceded time itself sensed it from the realms beyond.

"Someone is threatening History!" His voice boomed, and it shocked the entire universe.

"I call on the power of Stop. Pausontai, Answer me!!" The old man declared.

"Let all cease!" Pausontai answered at the very end of time.

The power of stop occurred. All of the universe and even the gods and beings beyond the known realms stopped. Only beings that were not bounded in time continued to move and felt the power of time stop.

And then Kyros used the power of Calaminus. True time was activated. And at that moment, while Destiny could not send his powers to this time, Puasontai could.

Destiny rode the surging power that Pausontai did to reach the time and delivered an edict of Destiny.

Kyros and the rest heard a voice that spoke from the End.

"It is destined for a being to live in one time. The Laws of Beginning and End are to be followed. No being can exist outside the timeline, and the linear flow of Beginning and End is to be set. By my edict, I call on Histerion to set history! Let the wills of the Universe be followed! Let those who broke this rule be banished!"

The voice spoke.

"Destiny and Fate!" Kyros felt the power return as both energies reverted.

Two figures emerged from the mysterious era of Beginning and End.

One was a beautiful woman with bright red hair. She was breathtakingly beautiful, and her eyes were pure white. She wore a robe of pure purple, and the train of her robe spread out endlessly behind her.

The other was a tall young man wearing an attire that made him appear the most elite of aristocrats. His firm gaze was strict and small. Barely visible red strings of infinite number were connected to him.

Kyros knew the woman was Fate, and the other was Destiny.

Everyone was frozen, and Kyros could only look at the pair talk.

Suddenly, an old man with a very long beard stepped out of the void. By his appearance, Kyros knew that this was the same old man that his father and mother met. Histerion.

"Fate... You seem to be handing me the Nephilim on a silver platter. Why are you doing this?" Destiny asked.

"Good to see close and personal, Kyros. You've done me proud. I'm sorry for this. But you and your family have surpassed my expectation. I never thought that you would be capable of crushing the weakened curses I placed on you. As such, I have to do this." Fate chuckled.

"Fate hid the trap behind a True Neutral! But she's using Destiny?! That sadistic woman!" Kyros understood the intention of Fate with her words.

"Destiny has spoken, and this will have been set. What say you, Fate? Do you agree to banish these people responsible for breaching the timeline? Only one timeline must exist, for there is but one Beginning and one End." Histerion spoke.

"You still retain a neutral role, Histerion?"

"I am only here to record all History and show the history to those who need it. Should End come, I really don't care." Histerion answered.

"Then I believe we are all in an accord. I'm sure that since Fate is here, we are to discuss where they will be banished! Since it involves the Nephilim, erasing them out of history is not an option." Destiny began.

"I'm not here or argue, Destiny. Lord Pausontai knew that I allowed this and led the Nephilim to this spot where the True Neutrals existed. So let's skip the useless talks. Just send them to the Unrecorded Pages. The place where all alterations and branching of timelines are stripped of reality and bundled up in a chaotic world." Fate smiled.

"Mother Fragment! Fate! You're sending us to the Shadow Realm?!" Calaminus exclaimed as he heard it.

"That's right, Jimbo!" Fate chuckled.

"You...! You...! Do you want to send us there?! I'm not even mad that you lied to me all my life and made me believe that you were just some Ancient God! But you're actually going not to defend us and just toss us there?!"

"Actually, Calaminus, the Fate you knew was me, but it also wasn't me. That timeline was already thrown into the Unrecorded Pages. It occurred, but it did no longer occur in keeping with one history."

"Your insane, Fate. That world is where no one can journey and come back to. This isn't like Middle. And in that world, the power of Destiny won!" Destiny called out.

"So why are you doing this?" Destiny challenged.

"Isn't it to your advantage if they get sent there?"

"This power is witnessed by Histerion itself. We both have to agree on this to work. Then, I can simply disagree if you don't explain to me why."

"Are you scared?"

"I'm cautious. I won't let you win. Explain to me the truth, Fate!"

"Alright. The truth is, Wisdom believes that the Unrecorded Pages have several histories. Calaminus has already died once, and the history of that world should have been thrown there. And when Calaminus died again, it added a layer of time once more. So the timeline of Kyros's previous life will also be there. But they will mesh together and crash upon each other creating conflict. So you can't claim that your powers have advanced there. It will be chaos. So who knows what that world will have? In any case, Kyros should be sent there since he won't have much of a challenge here. It will be two more years until your powers will affect this. And so, my training regime to make him grow stronger will not work here anymore." Fate explained.

"So you plan to send him there?!"

"Yes. He will live. He has Fate Challenger. That world is now outside of our powers. While Destiny and Fate work, it isn't as smart or guided as it is in this world. And in the chaos, I'm sure Kyros can find a way back here."

"Your gambling the life of your champion over that?" Destiny frowned.

"Yes. That's how I will beat you, Destiny. You who see the future. No matter how many victories and strengths Kyros has now, you still see his future. So I will hide once more in that world," Fate laughed.

Destiny was silent and began to think.

But even as he considered Fate's words, the arrangement seemed too good to be true. In his perspective, Fate was still sending Kyros to his death!
