LAYER 37: JUDGEMENT

Jamz also sees Granq and absorbs the Tes of Reality. He is now gigantic. Almost the same height as Fumetsu. His face crumbles, and an eye appears in its place. Its color fades, turning into a dark gray. Jamz says, "The Seal of Reality..." but Fumetsu leaps and passes through Jamz... or so he thinks. When he looks behind him, he sees nothing, and when he looks ahead... he realizes he hasn't moved at all. "The Twist of Fate. That's what I named this seal." Jamz says. Before Fumetsu can recover, Jamz speaks again. "Tell me, Fumetsu. What were you doing before you came here? What was your purpose? Weren't you like me? And what is your purpose now? What has changed? What did you want? What do you want... Personally, I no longer have a purpose. After killing you, I will kill myself too. Why should a being without a purpose deserve to live?" After all thus, Fumetsu can no longer understand anything. "Of course, you're just an empty shell. How will I tell anything to you?" Jamz says. "The Seal of Blood..." he says. The books are closed, there's no turning back. He pulls out a giant cleaver and stabs himself. But Fumetsu feels the pain; he screams. "4th Catastrophe: The Ritual Bloody Moon Made to Avoid Drowning of Blood." As Jamz cuts and mutilates himself, Fumetsu suffers even more. "I wasn't using any Tes. Because I was afraid of turning into merciless monsters like you. But from the moment I first encountered Furoy, it was over for me..." Jamz says. Fumetsu lunges desperately but can never land a proper blow. Jamz no longer cares and just waits for him to die. "Die, Kort. Die and end this suffering..." he says. Fumetsu, with his last ounce of strength, writes history... "The Seal of Void! The Power That Separates Heaven and Hell!" he says. Jamz, before he can even understand what's happening, begins to float in the void unconscious... (...)

LAYER 38: BEGINNING

Jamz dies. This time for real. Fumetsu's dragon fangs appear behind a sinister grin. But Jamz comes back to life. He's drenched in sweat. But he's not the only one drenched in sweat. Fumetsu, thinking Jamz was dead, recoils in fear and takes his guard. But Jamz collapses again. He dies again. And again and again... It's a cycle of infinite deaths in infinite times. Jamz feels the pain of infinite deaths everytime he dies. Fumetsu wanted to combine the power of the void with his own power to inflict the most pitiable experience. A brutal, endless death. The sinister smile on his face gives way to a devilish grin, and the celebrations begin. Until he suddenly feels weak. A giant, blue trident-like spear enters Fumetsu's pelvis and exits through his skull... The spear tears out his Tes of Grudge and reduces Fumetsu to dust with a single swing. The Void regains its color, and Jamz returns to his former self. "Did I defeat him?" he asks Granq. "Not you... He defeated him." Granq says, pointing to someone. A man in blue armor with a blue spear appears in the distance. "Let me introduce myself. I am Monfel. Nice to meet you, The Lord of Blood." he says in a mature voice. Granq is surprised to hear this. "Monfel... I thought you were dead." Granq says. The man seizes the Tes of Grudge, "Now that I have achieved my goal, I may depart. Farewell..." and disappears. "Who was that?" Jamz asks. Granq begins to explain. "Before the Werteron was even created, there was a mortal who, just like you, destroyed the members of Evoren council. A ruler with the Tes of Will... But unlike your situation, his Tes was formed from his own will. Just like the other Tes that were created. He defied me, and almost won. But then he listened to what I told him. One of the things I told him was this void... The Holy Void... He became so obsessed with it that one day he crossed Baz with his Tes and went outside. But he never returned." Jamz, listening to the story, shakes his head and says, "So what now? Zars is dead, after all." Granq says, "Let's discuss it in Jilid." and they return to Boluk. All the councils are destroyed. Evoren, Werteron, Kortania, even Jilid... (...)

LAYER 39: ENDING

Entering Jilid, Granq and Jamz sit aside. "What do you want to do, Jamz?" "The only thing to do right now is to perform a ritual to reset your will and grudge, sending you to another Baz. It will be like reincarnation, but in a completely different system. The choice is yours, Jamz." Jamz replies, "Let's do it. What could happen? I don't really have anything else to do anyway. But before that, I want to know why Furoy hates you, Granq." Granq explains, "Back when, even before Eloi, even before Zars' Sard days, when only the old Jilid council, the Sards, and the Evors existed, I did something that he didn't like at all. It wasn't a harmful thing but he still attacked me. Only thing he saw was blood red... He was killed by Felation. Now he must have returned to kill me." "Shall we perform the ritual, Jamz?" Jamz nods, and Granq says, "Very well then." The ritual begins. After a long and painful process, Jamz leaves the Tes of Blood. Because Furoy is dead, Tes of Blood, which had accepted Jamz as a Temseral, is also shattered. After a long period, Jamz' vision turns black and white, his hearing completely disappears, and he is devoid of will and grudge. Like someone fallen into a void, he feels nothing. He slowly turns to dust, until he is completely gone. The dust cloud moves forward, forward. Jamz' dust cloud emerges from Boluk and floats into the unknown, like a lost child. (...?)
