Defeat Flame Reaver

UI Trailblaze Mission Mission Description

(Trailblazer)'s thoughts are pulled back to the Vortex of Genesis, to the moment before the Era Nova, to when they are standing beside Phainon and facing the final visitor: The one who burned to nothingness for salvation and the will they are carrying out.
(Begin battle against Flame Reaver of the Deepest Dark Flame Reaver of the Deepest Dark)
"Flame Reaver": The time has come...
"Flame Reaver": To once again... start everything...
(When Flame Reaver of the Deepest Dark uses Silent Sorrow)
"Flame Reaver": Answer me... will you be the blazing sun...
"Flame Reaver": Even if all creation... burns to ash...
(When Flame Reaver of the Deepest Dark uses Cry Not For The Discarded)
"Flame Reaver": Losses... are a constant on the Flame-Chase journey...
"Flame Reaver": And you haven't lost... nearly enough...
(When Flame Reaver of the Deepest Dark is reduced to 1% HP)
Phainon: This ends now! With your corpse...
Phainon: ...I'll ignite the dawn!

Phainon struck off the Flame Reaver's mask and saw a face just like his own beneath it, cracked like a shattered statue.
(Cutscene begins)
Phainon: How is this possible...
(Cutscene ends)

Execute Flame Reaver

(Begin battle against Flame Reaver of the Deepest Dark Dawn-Denied Khaslana (as ???))
???: The suns of destruction... now twinned...
???: Feel them set your blood ablaze... your fury...!
(When ??? uses Cry Not For The Discarded for the first time)
???: Not enough...
???: This form shall fuel the fire... burn, burn unceasing!
(When ??? uses Cry Not For The Discarded for the second time)
???: Come... let the fires of fury devour me...!
???: Or become the next epitaph... seared upon this burning world!
(When ??? is reduced to 1% HP)
???: "One person alone may witness the miracle... Such is the will of fate..."
???: That person... can only be... you.

Dawnmaker pierced the Flame Reaver's chest. He signaled for Phainon to finish him with the ceremonial blade. "Why not... let wrath... incinerate fate...?"
(Cutscene begins)
???: Why not... let wrath... incinerate fate...?
???: Kha... os...
(Cutscene ends)

Witness all the memories of Khaslana

Witness the end of Khaslana

Sequence 34

At the Vortex of Genesis, like how every Eternal Recurrence ended, the Flame Reaver faced the newly reborn Phainon to pass on the mission. He offered the ceremonial blade, asking the new Phainon to kill him.
The ???th Eternal Recurrence: End
Khaslana: Tell me, will you be the blazing sun...
Khaslana: Even if all of you... burns to ash?
Phainon: Without hesitation. I will bear this world until my body turns to dust.
Khaslana: Good...
Khaslana: Remember this moment. Remember your friends who never lived to see the world's end. Remember their final wishes—
Khaslana: And let the purest rage in your heart rise out of those wishes...
Khaslana: Let it consume you, fuel you, until it burns away the false sky above.
Phainon: Fine. If I can defy fate...
Phainon: Then in the name of "Worldbearing," I promise you: Kephale will never forget this.

Phainon executed the Flame Reaver with the ceremonial blade and obtained the full Remembrance of Khaslana. He came under Nanook's gaze.
(Cutscene begins)
Khaslana: Take it... Everything I bear.
Khaslana: Keep on burning.
Khaslana: As long as we are never extinguished...
Khaslana: The Flame-Chase will not end...
Khaslana: Do not... Bow your head to THEM...
Phainon: Take it, Trailblazer.
Phainon: May this blood be like gold and never tarnish.

Resist the gods

Sequence 36

Phainon bid you farewell, and bestowed upon you the title of "Deliverer." Facing Lygus's rebuke, Phainon retorted that Lygus was the bound prisoner, the slave to the gods.
Phainon: Farewell, (Trailblazer). This is where I fulfill my final destiny.
Phainon: The prophecy of the "Deliverer" means nothing to me now. It belongs in the hands of someone far more fitting. Someone like you.
Phainon: Khaslana, the name of one who bears chaos, does not belong to a single person. Rather, it is the embodiment of the mythical Kephale and a symbol of all heroes.
Phainon: As the prophecy foretold: "YouPhainon will bear the blazing sun, until the pale dawnTrailblazer breaks." May the name accompany you in my place in the epic you write with your own hands.

Lygus: Another attempt. Another failure.
Lygus: I won't remind you how many times you've reached the end of history, but I will still place the choice before you.
Phainon: If you've lost count, let me tell you: this is the 33,550,336th ending.
Lygus: Ah, a perfect number. How poetic. You and I both know the truth: In all these millions of futile endeavors, Amphoreus has never changed.
Lygus: If the outcome is inevitable, then why not silence your searing rage and embrace your fate with dignity?
Phainon: ...
Lygus: Your silence lasts longer than ever, Lord Phainon...
Lygus: Shall I take that to mean the will you've carried across countless cycles is finally starting to fracture?
Phainon: Fracture? Heh...
Phainon: No. I'm just disappointed. I've retrieved memories from thirty million past lives. And I remember every conversation before every choice here.
Phainon: And yet, even after all this time, your arguments remain the same: repetitive, uninspired. If you had any hope of breaking me, you should have spent those endless cycles refining your rhetoric.
Phainon: You had infinite chances to sway me into the future you want... And yet, here we are. The score: 33,550,336 to 0.
Phainon: So tell me, Lycurgus — who's the real loser here?
Lygus: ...
Lygus: How unfortunate. This was never a fair game. I have all the time and patience in the world. I can wait for you at the end of history another billion times... and another billion after that.
Lygus: But you? You will never escape this cage. You can claim victory of the spirit if you wish. But we both know — the moment that score shifts from 0 to 1...
Lygus: That is the moment I shall sound the Paean of Era Nova.
Phainon: Ha... Haha...
Lygus: Lord Phainon?
Phainon: Your incompetence disappoints me, but what truly makes me laugh is your utter lack of self-awareness.
Phainon: Think about it. In this story, who is truly the one in chains? Who is the one shackled to mindless "vengeance," mistaking courage, the courage to rebel against the gods for foolishness?
Lygus: ...
Phainon: Perhaps you're right. Maybe I should have tired of this futile struggle long ago. But even so, I will never accept the mercy of your release.
Phainon: Because you... you are both a prisoner to the gods and to me. And tell me, what right does a mere prisoner have to speak of fate and choice?
Phainon: What right does a mere prisoner have — to look upon my fury!?

Sequence 37

Phainon declared his final vengeance upon Nanook, Aeon of Destruction. The fury of thirty million cycles merged into one body. With the purest hatred, he will forge the final dawn to burn away the stars.
Lygus: You know this is pointless. You can't kill me.
Phainon: Of course not. But I am tired of being measured against a worm the gods keep as a pet.
Phainon: Listen well, creator of Destruction. This cry comes from all your abandoned creations...
Phainon: In the tenth cycle, I drove Dawnmaker through the heart of every Titan. Golden blood ran down my fingers. Divine fire seared through my nerves, nearly breaking my will — but I endured.
Phainon: In the ten-thousandth cycle, my former comrades had all become my enemies. The endless slaughter dulled my senses to pain. The painful emptiness almost swallowed me, forcing me to stop fighting — but I endured.
Phainon: In the hundred-thousandth cycle, the Destruction had already fused into a blazing sun, surging within this fragile body. My rationality had been burned away at the dawn of the era... Yet even with only this shattered body remaining, I still endured.
Phainon: In the twenty-three million five hundred seventy-thousandth cycle... This time, I felt it: a tiny spark rising in the hollow cavity of my chest, different from the obsession with Deliverance...
Phainon: By its faint glow... once again — no, countless times again — I endured!
Phainon: Now, a sun is about to fall, ready to incinerate this absurd space-time dimension in an instant—
Phainon: That sun is me — all the countless versions of me from the past — along with my countless brethren, dragged into existence against their will, drowning again and again in your golden blood. The very essence of this world's suffering and despair, fused into the purest hatred, the fiercest rage—
Phainon: Nanook, you arrogant fool! You think we were born only to serve as fuel for the fire? Fine, then — just as you wish, let the fire burn!
Phainon: If I was born as the blazing sun of Destruction, then let you and your lackeys be the flares erupting from my core! And let this rage, burning futilely for thirty million epochs, engulf everything—
Phainon: And grant you a dawn where all stars burn to ash!

Having cast aside everything, Phainon struck once more at the Scepter's core layer. Consumed by wrath, he ignited himself and challenged Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction who had turned their gaze upon him, carving a brief wound with the fury of thirty million cycles.
(Cutscene begins)
Phainon: Are you ready,
Phainon: Nanook!
Phainon: I brought you destruction!
I feel the pain and anger, wicked monster, losin' control
I'm ready for a battle, wakened shadow, blood on my soul
Burn it, burning it all
Heavens, let them fall
They taste of bitter ashes, littered plastic, crumblin' away
They glimpse the broken faces, devil racin', searching for faith
Crushing, crushing it all
Shadows, watch them crawl
Creepin' up my brain
Learnin' from my pain
Baby watchin' it burn, send death to isolation
Oh watchin' it burn, ain't got no hesitation
Watchin' it burn, we're fallin' higher
Watchin' it burn!
Oh, watchin' it burn!
Watchin' it burn!
Watchin' it burn!
Like glass that shattered, reaching through the darkness
Voices trailing fires, echo of desires
A world of silence, sound of Death's parading
Phantoms in the shadow, softly waiting...
I'm tearin' it down! Embrace the detonation
Burnin' it loud! Cravin' our damn creation
Breakin' the chain! I'm reachin' for ya
Shout till the end! This blaze is my salvation!
Sword in the wind! I strike without damnation!
Shatter the skies!
No fate
No king
No god!
Fall to my name!
Fall to my name!
Fall to my name!
Fall to my name!
Phainon: My wish?
Phainon: My wish is...
Phainon: to fulfill everyone else's wishes.
Phainon: If I can't fulfill them...
Phainon: Then send them on to tomorrow.
