Ascension Of The Nephilim

Kyros's form took shape, and the rest also took form.

The power of Memoria surged through the Temple. And the two powers met. Memoria and Mysterion fused, and the powers of this memory were kept hidden even from Lanthanou. So the Temple became the conduit of memory. But because the power of the Lanthanou was so strong, what everyone had was scattered memory that had no form. Only through using the power of the Temple could those who have forgotten to be given the power to remember.

And yet, even in that, Petra was the first to sense and understand the arrival and return of Kyros. As a Celestial, he was the closest being to a god and instantly had a vague idea of what had happened. They were beings born from the Gigantes Earth Soul Core. The soul core was connected to the Temple. His memory was even more apparent. The loss of Kyros gave them a sense of loss that they could no longer understand their purpose. This was especially true for Mardock, the Entropy Golem. He was linked with Kyros. But then that connection was lost, and he found himself between the Gigantes Soul Core and the army of Kyros.

But now, the being that was their master had returned. And Petra sent out the greetings.

Kyros stood up and glanced around.

Everyone looked at him and was confused.

"Does everyone remember?" Kyros smiled.

"Kyros!" Scarlet cheered, and she jumped towards Kyros's embrace.

BANG!

Mechiel appeared in front of Scarlet and attacked her with a powerful punch.

The vampire's power surged out, and the darkness blocked Mechiel's fist, but Scarlet was still thrown back!

"Scarlet. Your powers have increased at a frightening pace. But you won't have your way now." Mechiel frowned. Because of the two Mechiel's memory and the awakened Corruption, Mechiel's emotions have gone to a strange change.

"You... My rival! The one who walks according to the Corruption of Xermolipi Phaulos!" Scarlet shouted.

"Everyone! She's the enemy!" Scarlet shouted.

"...No, she isn't." Branze sighed.

"If she were, they would be fighting right now. This power... You are a Commander?" Branze asked.

"Oh? It looks like Histerion has given me some parting gifts. And you guys seem busy. Commanders and Champions... How many beasts did you offer to the Temple these past months?" Kyros chuckled.

"Those two! I remember now! Lea Olethros! And Listrel Protos Endoxus!" Mezal shouted as he felt the memories jolted in at the sight of them.

At that moment, the names of the two, which were re-written in history, provoked a strange phenomenon.

The Highlands and the Netherlands began to erupt as the thought of dead life talismans suddenly sprang back with life! Everyone suddenly remembered them. But because they were thought to be dead, the effects of their deaths weren't too obvious. To most, it was as if they simply moved on, especially since there were more chaos and problems to deal with.

The two women who returned could feel the subtle changes as the universe remembered them. Listrel somehow communed with the Yggdrasil and felt a power surging.

Kyros quickly harnessed the power of Mysterion.

"Don't let this tree remember. At least, not yet." Kyros ordered.

"I know." Listrel smiled.

"So this is the Nephilim's Temple... Amazing..." Listrel was amazed.

"You... I know you!" Hunter moved closer and watched Hems. He could sense a strange link, and the power of Brimstone that had just surged out made him joyful seeing Hems.

"You forgot? Well, that's natural. It's me, brother. Hems! Together, Hemsey and I gave our lives to save lady Martha!" Hems smiled.

"Kyros? Are you the Nephilim? The lord of this Temple?" Branze asked.

"Yes. I am also your son, dad. Good to see you too."

"Dad?!"

"I have a son?! But... but... how is this possible?" Diana was amazed at her form. How old was she when she gave birth to Kyros? The flashbacks were unclear, and she couldn't remember any time she gave birth!

But Branze turned to the Coven.

"Coven. What do you make of this?"

All the members of the Coven bowed before Kyros. They could feel the power of their blood resonate and somehow grow stronger.

"Lord Kyros."

"Eh? So awkward. You guys better start looking through the memories stored. You were never that formal to me. And Aunt Martha, you can just call me Kyros. Well, technically, Reptilia and Hunter too. Since you guys are married." Kyros chuckled.

"Corner Stone." Mardock bowed in respect. He was serving the Steele family and was around them. He could sense him to be the leader.

"I guess you're my grandson?"

"Calaminus. Can you replay the power of Memoria in them?"

"Sure thing. That boost that Histerion gave has helped me transform from a Soul Core into a Soul Seed! Pretty soon, I can be my own being!" Calaminus chuckled.

"Gather everyone. I will use the power of Mysterion and Memoria to make it clear." Calaminus spoke.

Soon, the people were arranged within the Temple, and Kyros waited.

Apart from Scarlet, everyone felt strange standing right in front of Kyros as they didn't know what to say.

"Kyros. What about us?" Listrel asked.

"What are your plans? I won't hold you against whatever vows you have. I know you have your own family and clan to follow."

"It's kind of hard to return there. Besides, we know that both sides' war is part of End's manipulation. I don't like... being a pawn." Listrel answered.

"Knowing our heritage and how we complete each other in taking care of the tree gives us this responsibility of trying to save it. And that means, for this tree to survive Eternity. That world of Brimstone... showed me the worse of what the Yggdrasil will be. I don't want that." Lea explained.

"I feel the same way. Besides, cultivators want to become a Fallen or a God. You are the way to becoming that. Both our parents are locked in being Celestials." Listrel added.

"I see. Well, the best path is for the two of you to return there. The history of that world has been explained to us by the survivors. We now know the plot of the Eldrich and how to conquer it. From the looks of it, I believe certain spies are in the Highlands if the actions of the Eldrich succeeded as they did. Find that out. What the Eldrich would never expect is the alliance between both of you."

"We understand." Listrel and Lea answered together.

"While we're gone, I can allow Mechiel... But don't let any other girls get you." Listrel chuckled.

"Yeah." Lea asserted as well.

Scarlet heard it, and she frowned. And what was annoying was that Kyros didn't seem to reject the approach of the two.

"We should leave ahead. Our current forms are too weak after forcing those Crown forms. It'll take a while for us to reach peak strength. And with the laws and blessings returning, I think we'll be far stronger than we once were."

"Hey, Lea. Let's arrange a proper fight between the two of us. The winner takes Kyros."

"I was thinking the same thing."

Mechiel was next to them but ignored the two.

Scarlet couldn't understand why Mechiel was rather cold to Kyros.

Soon, everyone gathered. The Steele Family, the Coven, the Emberdons, and everyone else who had met the Nephilim.

"Let's start this. You forgot about me at the time when Lanthanou first appeared in the Unrecorded Pages. Now, it's time to remember. Then, Lanthanou sought to attack us, change life's trajectory, and sever you from the path of fighting with the Beginning's side. This was his cruel powers that worked when I was sent there. But now... remember! Our advantage? We only spent a few months together. Even after how close our ties and your loyalty has grown, End and Lanthanou would have never expected that we won't have even fought together for years! With this, Histerion can restore your lost memories!" Kyros raised his hand, and the power surged.

In the realms beyond... Histerion's power continued to attack.

Lanthanou felt uncomfortable and was reading the scrolls of history for any changes.

"What did he remember? What is he adding?" Lanthanou pondered. Little did he know that the uncomfortable feeling he was sensing was not from Histerion but the power of Mysterion.
