Ascension of the Nephilim

Ever since he was reborn, there was the secret power that chased after Kyros and his allies. The nefarious powers of Fate were believed to be the enemy. But it turned out that Fate was an ally! It was in accordance with the power of Mysterion. To hide the allies and warriors of Beginning, Fate moved to attack the allies so that Destiny and End would be deceived.

Yet this plan proved useless as Destiny and End figured out who they were anyway and Destined them to death, adding another layer of plagues and curses that attacked them.

Destiny and End had their eyes on Kyros, and the Nephilim's army would often have to fight every step, with Destiny throwing attack after attack. But now, the curse has vanished!

"What?! That curse has vanished?!" Many of the Steele family reacted.

"So that's why I felt... at peace." Triona Emberdon expressed.

Many then sensed that there was a strange peace in their life. As if something that was choking them had vanished.

Those that developed Fate Challenger sensed it, and those who were more skilled in Foresight felt as if they could conquer the world!

"This is it. Neutral! We are True Neutral!" Martha laughed. She had merged her soul with Puff. And since Puff's alignment in this grand battle was known as True Neutral, she was the first to make the connection.

"I wouldn't rejoice so quickly, guys." Kyros shook his head.

"The power of Destiny has been removed... But Fate's curse still rests on us. Fate used Mysterion to inflict her curses on us from the start. And when I was being sent to the forgotten realm, Fate followed me. And herein lies the problem..." Kyros explained.

"Problem? Fate went with us and went back... So this means that Fate remembered?"

"Well, not exactly. Fate only knows I am cursed with her magic because her power has been tied with Mysterion. So in short, it's attacking me, but Fate has forgotten about me, the Nephilim."

"I'm confused... She curses Lord Kyros but forgot him?" Faye scratched her head.

"I understand. How cruel. She really doesn't want to give us a break. She must have known that this would happen!" Branze cursed as he realized it.

"Do explain, dear brother." Aron urged.

"In our past life, most deaths were caused not by Destiny but by Fate. Destiny has set certain deaths to be followed. Mine, grandfathers, Mechiel, and so on. But apart from that, it was Fate that chased us and attacked us!"

"One without Kyros being unsealed to his true potential and another memory where he was sealed, and we would die a pitiful death. In that life, Destiny still easily found us. But in this one, it was all arranged for Kyros to go to the Unrecorded Pages and be forgotten in History. But that won't be enough. We fight End, the one who knows the future! He will see and will deduce our identities as champions of Fate! And so... The option left is for Fate to attack us!" Mezal nodded.

"Yes. We are now True Neutrals. But if Destiny sees that Fate has cursed us, Destiny would either help us or use his powers to survive Fate and hinder her." Branze explained.

"Wait! So Destiny will now be our ally?"

"That is yet to be seen. Destiny sees us as True Neutrals." Kyros answered.

"We fight gods and fallen who sees the future or who has existed far out in the past. This complicated battle will maximize all powers. Fate is placing layers upon layers of plans that were so confusing it even took me a long time to understand the relationship between Fate and Destiny. Fate knew we would have two lifetimes! That's how her plan to make Mysterion hide us as allies of Beginning!"

"So... basically, originally, her curses were meant to train us. But since she has forgotten her chosen, the Nephilim, then..."

"Then she will see us as the enemy. This was also part of her plan to cloak us in Mystery. So she will seriously try to kill us. And it's not just me. Anyone bonded or connected to the Nephilim Sealing Temple will also have it." Kyros added.

"Yes. It also affected our family. Interesting. Only the curse of Fate remains." Demerus pondered.

"From here on out, we are no longer champions of Beginning. They have forgotten their chosen champion. In this scenario, we might end up fighting gods and fallen from Beginning's side."

Everyone had grim expressions.

"Oh, cheer up, everyone!" Mezal laughed. He turned to see the sour faces of everyone.

"What exactly has changed since the start? Nothing! Whether in this life or the other, Fate fought to kill us! We have fought against both anyway! Besides, it's better this way. Considering how I have suffered from Fate, this scenario gives me a chance and a reason to slap that fragmenting fragment with my shield and cut her with my sword!" Mezal laughed.

"Exactly. She's going to pay." Kyros gave a dangerous grin.

"Let us not forget what my son has been through! He faced two dangerous beings who outclass Fate! What is she now? And with him back, this means the power of Temple that we have forgotten to access is back!" Branze declared.

"Right. The Temple. I sure missed this Temple!" Kyros glanced around and looked like he was about to cry.

"Come to me!" Kyros ordered.

WARP!

Suddenly, a shield appeared on Kyros's hand.

"Dimensional storage and summoning... The power of Holy attacks... I missed you all!" Kyros teared up.

"I missed this old Temple. I miss accessing the dimensional space. And I better keep Heraclus's shield with me." So Kyros summoned it, and the moment he touched it, he could sense a strange resonance.

"Oh? The Temple can finally add and make it part of the set. Strange... It was as if I needed Brimstone to be able to resist its darkness." Kyros sensed it.

"Lord Kyros... What of the Coven? Why am I not affected by it?" Hems turned to see the members of the Coven, unable to move. They were somehow conscious yet very frail.

"You are no longer a member of my Coven, Hems. Your element is Brimstone. Something the opposite of what Dark Dependants are." Kyros chuckled.

"Oh? But I still have Brimstone... I guess that's alright."

"Yes. As for them, it seems that the diversity of my Bloodline is now opening numerous paths for everyone. Let's see... Since I left, you guys managed to bring in a lot of stuff and killed a lot of beasts. Therefore, we should be able to complete the Temple quests. Hopefully, we can also claim the minor rewards of level 2." Kyros accessed the Temple's core and saw that all the requirements were met.

"You can count on it. I've taken into consideration what the Temple needs. Me and Grandfather thought about it and knew what the Temple would need before the time we forgot about you. These items were on a checklist. And even when we've forgotten about you, we still sought of it, for it was listed in the things we decided to get." Branze explained.

"Yes. The Temple should be able to complete a few points of the Temple. I can't wait. Our kingdom will finally rise!" Mezal laughed.

With the disappearance of Kyros, the Temple could not improve and assimilate all the items brought in.

[All Temple Quest Level 1 rewards completed. Claim Rewards?]

Kyros smiled as he saw it.

"With the power of Mysterion, I hide this Temple. This is why it's named this way. The Nephilim Sealing Temple was not meant to simply seal my powers. It was meant to keep me hidden! Now, we finally have a way to fight back! True Neutrals have once challenged the world of gods and fallen. This is why the Heretic Wars occurred. And now, an army of Heretics shall appear and throw the future into uncertainty."

Kyros selected the Yes option.

The power within the Temple began to tremble as all the reward items were being drawn in. Many more items that were not on the list began also to be assimilated, just as Mezal and Branze deduced. They had once more outsmarted the expectations and limitations of Fate.
