Listrel was shocked at the return of Kyros, who no longer had his usual calm and collected nature, and Kyros began to explain what had happened.
"Was there a way for us to get here fast?" Kyros pressed.
"...No. I don't remember anything!"
"He made us forget! He couldn't make us forget about the Code because the Code is too important to forget and is the power of another god! But he's closing our path! We must have used something to get here so fast! But now, we can't even remember it!" Kyros exclaimed.
"What are we going to do?" Mechiel asked.
"I tried to do something at the last second before Lanthanou used his power. But... I forgot." Kyros had a defeated and frustrated expression.
When they saw it, the team felt dread. Kyros was like a beacon of hope that always assured them and gave them the chance of winning. His miracles and powers were the reason they stood strong and powerful even in this world devoid of Code and Corruption.
"But Kyros, how is that possible? When we fought against him, the powers of him causing us to forget things like that?" Mechiel asked.
"The Memory Eaters probably aren't just beasts that Lanthanou created! It should be a manifestation of his power to make us forget! That power is quite strong! Think about it! We are here and must have found a way to move here! Logically, if it's something we forgot, we can force ourselves to remember it! If we retrace our steps, we will be able to do it! But now, we can't!" Kyros explained.
"...He's right!" Lea was amazed.
Kyros turned to Gradius, Rachel, and Breveros, who also shook their heads.
"YourYour arrival is a vague blur to us now..." Gradius frowned.
Rachel was trying to remember the specifics.
"We have no choice. We will be falling into the trap that Lanthanou has set. But if we don't move out, Hems and the army is in danger of being wiped out and forgotten! Hems are still alive. I can feel him. But if we don't do anything, we will lose them! From our current position, we can only deduce that there is a way to move towards them quickly and them to us. The few elves at the top are proof that we came here. I've been trying to remember past occurrences through deductive reasoning. But even then, I can't recall how we got here! Anything related to our return is blank! I remember nothing!"
"Wait! We have rocs! What if we flew our way here?"
"No. Think back even more! In less than a day, we have memories of being with Hems, and then, suddenly, we were fighting the army of Histerion, which had life and form! It doesn't make sense!"
"Yes. I also don't recall you guys arriving through Rocs."
"What if..."
"Stop!" Kyros shouted.
Mechiel quickly reached out and held on to Kyros. Kyros had reached the end of his patience and actually shouted at them!
Kyros stopped speaking. He realized he was becoming angry and impatient and knew that if he were to lead this team, he needed to keep himself calm. He took a few deep breaths.
"We don't have time to discuss this. We move out. This will be a trap. Listrel. Take this seed and let it bloom. Whatever it is, just figure it out. I can only trust that the me that rushed towards the Walls that Endured alone to head towards Hems thought of something that could help us resolve this crisis. Our lives are in danger. We had hope of victory. But now, the power of Lanthanou is so strong. We might forget the allies and hopes that we have. If this keeps up, we will all die, alone and divided. All of us having no memory of each other. So let's do what we can. "
Listrel nodded.
"Leave it to us. We'll master the power of the Plant Code and do whatever we can to fight."
"Mechiel. You stay here."
"No. I saved you once in my life. I'll save you this time! I'm starting to remember, Kyros! And the power of the Charm in me is screaming. I don't want you to forget me!" Mechiel urged.
Kyros was silent but could only nod.
"Histerion and Lanthanou will be trying to kill us. We have to be ready. Lea. Stay here to guard them. Breveros, please join us."
"Just the three of you?" Lea frowned.
"You guys can hurt Lanthanou by constantly talking and discovering more about those lost memories. I'll need an army." Kyros asked.
"I'll assemble whatever forces can send out." Breveros nodded and moved ahead.
Kyros left Calaminus to Listrel and repaired the energy formation circles that were helping Listrel speed up time.
At the same time, Kyros began to create several energy formation circles all over the place to create a layer of holy magic to detect any Memory Eaters.
When he created the energy formation circles, hidden in a certain location within the three, a memory eater began to fade and dispersed from the Holy energy.
This was a Memory Eater that everyone forgot about.
It hid and listened in on the team and finally died.
Back in the Omega Kingdom, Lanthanou had now taken form as his darkness gathered around him.
He had his old, unkempt form remained. But this time, several skulls were protruding at the back clothes, and he had a large, bone scepter.
The entire discussion that Kyros had with his team had been projected above for him to see.
The forgotten Memory Eater had seen and heard the entire plan.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! That Kyros is now desperate! The once-proud Nephilim now willingly moves towards the trap that has been set for him! And what's funny is that I barely killed any soldiers among that division that this Hems command! I can't believe you had a hard time dealing with this man!" Lanthanou laughed.
"The man I fought was very clever and cunning. Are you sure he has no other plans? He did beat you the last time." Histerion smiled. Unlike Lanthanou, Histerion wore white robes and maintained a very dignified, clean appearance. Several living beings stood next to him.
Each living being represented the best warriors that the Highlands, the Netherlands, and the Eldrich ever had to walk on the Planesworld.
Their power reached the levels of Crown. But this time, they had Force and Magic. It was as if these warriors were reborn to have the very strength they had when they were Crowns.
"I hope that this little plan of yours will work with these Crown-level beings."
"I indeed lost, but it was because of Calaminus! That idiot god was able to use his ability of Time Stop to pause my incarnation! But if he were any second later, that Nephilim would have already died! But this time, they are panicking! You clearly don't know how to deal with smart enemies. The trick is to take information away from their hands. You saw his panic! We got this in the bag! You're just too weak to fight him, Histerion. I can't believe you were actually trying to create a form of yourself in this world!" Lanthanou laughed.
"Perhaps, he's acting."
"Acting? I know acting when I see it, Histerion. If he was acting, then he must have remembered what had happened! But I can peer through his memory and can tell that he had forgotten about the warp pad! Go and conquer! And with this will be done with this Nephilim pest! And give it to me now!" Lanthanou demanded.
"No. The agreement is, I give you the Celestial Code if you help me defeat Kyros. I won't give it to you until he is defeated!" Histerion smiled.
"...Fine. Go and conquer! And make it fast! The more they remember the more painful it is for me to be here. I shall wait in the abyss. This brimstone is hurting my skin!" Lanthanou waved his hand, and he vanished into the darkness.
