Phase III | Beginning of the End
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
I
Through the wound where the world itself was torn apart, the voices of the departed are recorded here...
The Flame-Chasing heroes are no exception.
Their voices were faint, and they often concealed their cries of pain from those around them.
Yet the regrets they carried deep within their hearts, and their desperate calls for the "Era Nova," still remain to this day.
...
…One cycle passed in this way.
Thirty million cycles, repeated the same fate.
The rifts flickered within the void, waveforms of different frequencies spilling out waves of frost and heat.
Those waves struck against the ground beneath his feet, resembling something from the unreachable depths beyond sight...
A heartbeat...
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
……Even now, that boy can still feel it.
When he closes his eyes, the scenes engraved within Khaslana's memories surge vividly before him.
As if the past that should have already perished, had “come alive” once again.
The laughter of old friends. Their moments of confrontation.
The days when even words became impossible to exchange.
All of it became the accumulated sin carried through thirty million cycles of reincarnation.
The Coreflames within him began to leak a blinding, dazzling radiance!
The hero fell into becoming a puppet, the prisoner nurtured a divinity.
The divine flame scorched his very eyes—
Like the fangs of a beast, the flames burned more fiercely with every passing moment, as if they could consume and reduce everything before them to ashes in an instant.
Wherever he went, there was only a raging torrent of chaos and noise.
The burden carried by the "Worldbearer."
A blade filled with hatred pierced his chest.
The wound sank into a body as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, piercing through the defenses he had built deep within his heart.
Now, as the final battle approaches, even his appearance has completely transformed.
What scars still bleed golden within his heart?
What emotions continue to flow endlessly, resisting against this violent yet steady heartbeat?
The changes in his form. The shifting of his identity.
The path this story has taken:
All of it has finally led you into this buried realm deep beneath the earth.
No matter how small the stream may be, every river will eventually flow toward its final destination.
Toward the origin of everything.
Toward the source of all things.
Come.
Face the destiny you have never stepped into before.
Together, let us witness and uncover:
...
……The “Finale” of this story.

II
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
By now, everything has become clear.
The memories placed upon his shoulders.
The ominous and sinister heartbeat.
The weight carried by the Deliverer.
...
Yes.
After all, here, the past and the present have already become one.
The Dawnmaker held tightly within his hand has finally fulfilled the purpose it was created for:
"To sever this chain of fate, and usher in the first ray of dawn."
This is a conclusion never reached throughout thirty million cycles of reincarnation.
This is the final chapter of Amphoreus' epic.
The light that endured through, for the first time, truly reached its destined end.
At this moment, countless fragments of fate intertwine.
Countless bonds become entangled and overlap, resounding with their final heartbeat.
Compared to the mechanical rhythm of a regulated pulse,
The sacrifices we have endured,
The existences that seemed so insignificant, even futile,
Continue to burn with unwavering strength.
The flame trembling within his chest.
The companions who walked through life and death with him.
This bond that carries the weight of countless lives together.
This is the true seed of hope belonging to this battle.
Isn't it?
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
"Phainon."
"Do you still remember the promise we made back then?"
"Partner... Of course."
"The belief we had that guided our departure... I could never forget it."
"I'm sorry. I was supposed to... send you all back much sooner. By now, you and I have already walked such a long road together. The battle ahead will be perilous, I..."
"We're already at 99% progress. Don't tell me you're going to stop us from seeing the remaining 1% of the ending again, just like last time?"
"Everyone contributed to the battle against Irontomb. Taking all the credit for yourself would be pretty unfair, wouldn't it? Phainon, I never thought you were this kind of person!" (A playful expression despite pretending to cry)
"Ah, Partner, that's absolutely not what I meant-"
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
"Ever since stepping into this world, after every experience we have gone through..."
"We have long become inseparable from Amphoreus' fate, forged together with the ‘Earth’ itself..."
"To safeguard hope… that too is every Nameless one’s duty. Phainon, this time, you will no longer have to face everything alone."
"Everything you have given. Every painful sacrifice. The protection of memories, and kept watch over the future..."
"’Time’ will never forget any of this. And neither will I."
"Don't worry. The Nameless will forever stand together with Amphoreus!"
"The road to becoming a hero is not a lonely one, partner."
"In this final battle, the Astral Express will stand alongside Amphoreus!"

At the end of “Era Nova”, the cold experimental grounds reveal their cruel core.
Deep within this very abyss, the same experimental grounds. A place left in ruins.
A place where hatred bares its fangs, desperately trying to break free from its restraints.
A vessel on the verge of shattering. Hatred. Rage.
Yet, this time...
The emotions flowing into the boy are no longer born from endless suffering, wounds, or guilt carried within this body.
At the end of thirty million cycles,
You seem to finally understand, for the first time...
Within the shell that you once believed contained nothing,
There exists a small yet undeniable warmth flowing through it.
No longer an apocalypse stained by malice.
No longer the endless Coreflames that burn and devour the body.
No longer a crimson tide, spreading in eternity.
Instead...
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
"I'll take the lead. Just like the old times."
"If you’re wounded, Lord Phainon, please let me know as soon as possible.”
"Snowy, don’t push yourself too hard if you’re feeling tired~"
"Deliverer boy, show me what you're capable of!"
"Go forth with confidence. I don’t have anything more to teach you."
"My lord, may your light bring hope to everyone in this calamity.”
"Pierce the darkness with dawn, Dux Solaris."
"Don the battle raiment of dawn, Deliverer, and sound the trumpet of advance.”
"Let the triumphant roar of victory serve as the prelude to what lies ahead."
"Look. The dawn you’ve been chasing is finally breaking."
"Yeah...Everyone..."
"You're finally all here..."
The boy finally spoke those words.
As if the figure that had remained suspended within his heart for time immemorial, the figure he thought had already disappeared had returned to his side once again before the final battle.
The past he believed was already lost, like a missing piece of a puzzle recovered after all this time, finally restored, to the place where his soul had always remained incomplete.

The “you” from the very beginning,
Innocent and unscathed,
Who raised a wooden sword and swore to protect that small village.
The “you” who had always resided, deep within your heart.
From that moment onward,
The "empty" soul received the colours of life for the first time ever.
Those fragments that had never truly vanished,
As if a free bird spreading its wings, soaring, for the very first time-
A "Wish."
…
The End?
