Kyros was defeated in the fight.
His powers as a Crown were simply not on par with Histerion and the rest's powers.
But in the desperation of the battle, Kyros thought of the keyword that released the power of Mysterion.
Kyros remembered many things. And as he remembered it all, he found that all his plans had worked perfectly.
Kyros suddenly revealed a simple word. It was a word that somehow shook Histerion to his core though he couldn't understand it!
"What did you say?!"
"I'm close to completing your mission, Histerion. I found a word. A simple word locked within the depths that Lanthanou has cursed you and this world to forget. It's so powerful that he only sealed this word and all connections it has in existence. I believe this is End's power working with him." Kyros smiled.
"Who is Prophetia?!" Histerion lost his calm, and there was a demand for urgency. He could feel a powerful force acting behind the scenes and through the realms of creation. It would breach through the far reaches of the universe and even affect the Unrecorded Pages!
"I don't know. But if you are reacting that way, you could feel the urgency of knowing what you have forgotten. You are right. Lanthanou is hiding something from you!"
"How did you know that word?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It happened back when Lanthanou first attacked us. He tried to kill me and stabbed me with his attack. Calaminus used Time Stop, and the three of us were locked in some battle.
It seemed to have lasted a second to most, but with True Time stopping, the reality was that Calaminus fought Lanthanou for a long time. It probably took hours. Unlike everything else that he causes all things to 'forget,' this one was special. He had to hide it further and conceal it. He used a vast amount of his power to seal this word and make all of the universes across all times and realms unable even to utter it by accident! It's as if the word itself is hidden from our lips!"
"He used... the power to conceal?"
"Exactly! This was the plan of Fate, Wisdom, Beginning! Perhaps even before I was born, this plan was already in place! They knew the most difficult battle would be against beings like you and Lanthanou! But they also knew that whatever it is that Lanthanou will cause to forget to ensure the victory of End, it would be sealed with such powerful magic! And so, one of my purposes is to do that! It uncovers that which is hidden! My power awakened when it met the power of truly concealing something!"
"But how do you remember? Such a thing would have alarmed Lanthanou!"
"That's because he forgot it! He used a powerful attack that made that battle something that was forgotten across all of the universe and all realms. Even he forgot it! And I can't even remember the details of it. So all I have is a summary of this battle!"
"Then you're a fool to reveal this to me now. He will have sensed it!"
"Wrong! You're not the only one who remembered the word! The power of the plants that the Dryad of Vey gave me allowed the elves to bestow sentience and life to plans! And with it, that word that I spoke was planted! Right now, he sensed not one but many beings harnessing the knowledge of that word! Even if I knew the word, it was still wrapped around in the darkness. I only managed to learn the word but cannot even comprehend what it is!"
"...Even I won't be able to remember it. That word does not exist as far as history is concerned."
"That's why we had to go through this plan. You and I had to fight a tremendous battle. And my allies had to make for the Omega Kingdom under the guise of stealing the Celestial Code, which, for some reason, is important to him!"
"It could be related to the war. If he has to Code in this world, he could seal it and weaken the gods and fallen who use the elements involved in the Code for the battle against End."
"I see. Then, in the end, these elements were gone, and Beginnings armies were weak. But now, I have a chance to change Middle." Kyros understood now.
"Then how do you intend to figure out more beyond that word you spoke?"
"The traps we set are designed to challenge his power in making everyone forget. The Charmed Fallen awakened at that time and spoke to me, and I realized that the power in Mechiel was far stronger than I thought. She did not just find the Charmed Corruption through the Blood Calamity, but her incarnation acquired the Corruption in this timeline! And so, she would be the starter. And now, seeing as the power of Lanthanou has also breached more in this world, the only thing I need to do, is creating another link with him! Making contact with 'that thing' should do!"
"I see! The Crown! You want him to bestow the Crown in his incarnation here! Your goal is the Crown of Lanthanou! The Crown of the Forgotten itself!"
"Yes! Crowns were always a symbol of power and authority. With a Crown, the Lanthanou here would now hold the memories pertaining to that word!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, Kyros was healed. His dying body began to recover as the power of Brimstone was building his body!
"A Heart of Brimstone! No! It's something more! It's like a planetary core! Kyros saw his heart reform as the power of Brimstone appeared around it. Inexhaustible energy began to course through his body.
Kyros felt that his entire body was coursing with fire and earth energy.
And with his body becoming fertile ground, the Seed planted in his body began to sprout all the more!
"You've already done so well. Complete your mission! I will not fight him. The moment I do, I and him in the real world will also begin fighting!" Histerion answered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"So you're joining the war and siding with Beginning?"
"I never intended this. But Prophetia... Her name is a name that speaks the future! You cannot comprehend it because even Wisdom is kept from you. But I believe I have an idea of who that person is."
"Your wife!" Kyros was shocked. When he heard Histerion explain the meaning of the name, the Wisdom kept from Kryos finally affected him.
"Exactly. Kyros. Do you understand? At first, I thought Lanthanou was only hiding something from me. But I never imagined it would be this terrifying! All gods and fallen will have sensed something wrong with them if they forget such an important thing. But I am Brimstone. I am joy itself! My powers worked against me!"
"I'll get your memories back, Histerion. This must have been my mother's plan all along!"
"Yes. She knew that End would ally with Lanthanou! In this battle for eternity, Lanthanou would put all the strongest gods and fallen that would not join End and make them neutral. Your mother plotted to reverse that! Prepare yourself, Kyros. I will now hurl you over there! Be warned! Lanthanou's powers are far stronger than you can imagine!"
"I know!"
Histerion picked Kyro up, and the three resurrected beings began to wither into a pile of rocks as the power surged around Kyros.
"I'll give you a boost. You already have experience in being a human catapult, right?"
"Er... I had never experienced having a god as a catapult though!" Kyros cursed as he knew what was coming.
Histerion chuckled as he picked Kyros up and grew a thousand meters bigger!
The god then hurled Kyros towards the battlefield at the Omega Kingdom.
Kyros was being thrown out, and he began gathering the power of earth and fire within his body. The Heart of Brimstone erupted in power, and Kyros was becoming a powerful meteor.
