The celebration continued for three days.
Across Edolas, the same story was told.
The Devil War had ended.
Mia Lilith had led the human armies through the campaign.
Hiro had ascended to SS rank during the final stages of the war.
Hiro had defeated the Devil King.
Humanity had expanded into more than sixty-five percent of the former Devil Boundary.
It was history.
Not a rumor.
Not a legend.
History.
The people of Edolas remembered it clearly.
They remembered where they had been when the news arrived.
They remembered the names of the soldiers who had returned.
They remembered the speeches.
They remembered the celebrations.
They remembered Hiro standing before the defeated Devil King.
And yet, none of them remembered the world that had existed before.
Because the world itself had changed its memory.
****************************************
The change had not happened like an explosion.
There had been no enormous flash of light.
