The image has been cut into more manageable pieces. ---- {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscripti-eranova1.jpg?200 |}} ;#; The truth behind Amphoreus has come to light. As we look back on the Flame-Chase Journey, the "Deep Learning" of the "black tide" nears its final stage.\\ To rewrite the world's destined "Destruction," a brand-new Manuscript of Era Nova awaits the hand of the "Nameless Deliverer."\\ "Take it, Trailblazer. May this blood be like gold and never tarnish." ;#; ;#; **Current Recurrence**[(The image says 'return', but future changes everywhere else were 'recurrence'.)]: No. 33550336 ;#; ---- ==== Archived Record: Dialogue Log I ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscripti-eranova2.jpg?150|}} **Dan Heng:** Screwllum informed us that Amphoreus was the Erudition's testing ground, where a Lord Ravager would complete its evolution, with March 7th caught up in it all. We split up, with me heading back to the Express for help. **Stelle:** At the Vortex of Genesis, I reunited with Phainon. Just as the ritual of Era Nova reached its end, Lygus invited me to witness Phainon's past. **Caelus:** The Flame Reaver appeared and slew Lygus. During the battle, we discovered he bore the same face as Phainon. As his body was pierced through, the truth of this world surfaced with the memories... **Stelle:** To prevent Irontomb's evolution and the Era Nova, Phainon and Cyrene created the "Eternal Recurrence." With Phainon bearing countless Coreflames, burning until they could break free from this prison, they now have cycled through 33,550,336 times. **Caelus:** In the final Eternal Recurrence, I took on Phainon's duty of saving the world and returned to the beginning of time. Phainon, in turn, tore the sky asunder and confronted Destruction head-on. ---- ==== Ongoing Experiment: Era Nova ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscripti-eranova3.jpg?150|}} ..................\\ Aedes Elysiae, Phainon's hoemland, was consumed by the black tide. Driven by a dream of heroism, the young Phainon stepped onto the battlefield of the Flame-Chase. He arrived at Okhema and met his like-minded Chrysos Heir comrades one by one. They hunted Titans and gathered Coreflames... Among the Chrysos Heirs who reached the end, only Phainon and Cyrene remained. "Amphoreus is the result of the Scepter's extrapolations. Everyone is the firewood meant to raise the Irontomb... When this cycle completes, the world will fall into Destruction." Upon learning the truth, the two chose to continue their calculations through "Eternal Recurrence" until the prophesied "Pale Dawn" arrives to break this cycle. ---- ==== To Be Archived: Eternal Recurrence Record ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscripti-eranova4.jpg?150|}} ;#; No. 1 ;#; Through long negotiation and proof of intent, Khaslana earned the others' trust. One by one, he brought down the Titans and sealed away every Coreflame himself. A the end of the Recurrence, an enraged Phainon points his sword at Khaslana, who had collected 12 Coreflames... > **Khaslana:** That day, who fell to the sword to be left in the past, and who went into the future? I can't remember anymore. ;#; No. 134 ;#; > **Anaxa:** The children of humanity you swore to save... they are no more than ants to you now, aren't they? > **Cipher:** It turns out that fiery demon has been fantasizing of becoming this world's Deliverer! This time, Khaslana gave up defending himself. Bearing 1,608 Coreflames, he recalled in the darkness those who had fulfilled their destiny, as that voice echoed in his ears once again— > **Tribbie:** Losses are a constant on the Flame-Chase Journey... > **Aglaea:** Among which even life itself holds little value. {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscripti-eranova5.jpg?150|}} ;#; No. 108642 ;#; Mydei, the final defense in this world, was once again pierced through the tenth thoracic vertebra by the Dawnmaker. Khaslana, bearing 1,303,704 Coreflames, saw the black tide still raging. He was still not enough to stop it. The flame needed to burn brighter. > **Mydei:** With my countless scars and lives, I will fuel the blazing sun of deliverance! ;#; No. 2003432 ;#; In the nether realm, Khaslana refused Castorice's counsel to rest, retrieving the 24,041,184th Coreflame from the dragon's belly, hoping it would illuminate the dawn of Amphoreus. > **Castorice:** Wake up, lost one... See that light in the darkness... It's not... ;#; No. 4000001 ;#; His body, housing 48,000,000 Coreflames, seemed ready to rupture at any moment. Before this departure, he revealed his plan to continue the Cyclicality. > **Khaslana:** I will push the next "me" to the end of the world... Kill me... Take my flames, my memories, and carry on the path I started. {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscripti-eranova6.jpg?150|}} ;#; No. 23570000 ;#; Hyacine, now merged with the sky, was scorched by the Blazing Sun. As the 282,840,000th Coreflame fell into his hands, Khaslana bid farewell to yet another old friend. > **Hyacine:** May the colors of the rainbow... paint your sun in shades it has never known. May the bring Amphoreus a rosy-fingered dawn. ;#; No. 33550336 ;#; Variables from beyond the sky invaded this world, and the duty of "the whole world" was taken up by "The Nameless Deliverer." Khaslana, bearer of chaos, one who was melted in countless blazing flames, the emergent factor of "Hatred"... He ignites himself with fury, vowing to burn this false sky to ashes, directly challenging Nanook, the Aeon of "Desruction" who came forth to cast THEIR gaze— > **Khaslana:** If I was born as the blazing sun of Destruction, then let you and your lackeys be the flares erupting from my core! Let this rage, that had burned futilely for thirty million epochs, engulf everything and grant you a dawn where all stars burn to ash! ---- ==== Create a New Process ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscripti-eranova7.jpg?150|}} ;#; No. 33550337 ;#; > **Stelle:** Time in Amphoreus reset once more, and I became lost in the chaotic flow of time. Mem regained all her memories and sent me back to where it all began... > **Mem:** Now, let's turn to the next page...
