Nightwing was standing over the highest mountain that overlooked the Midland regions.

It had been days since they left the Black Bog Kingdom with their armies.

The last kingdoms that did not aid Breveros in the campaign against the Black Bog Kingdom stood their ground. It was the land of sprouting leaves and branches of the Yggdrasil. And these plants were so small, and the twigs were so young that the form was actually visible to those living nearby. It created a unique landscape that could be seen in only a few places of the Planesworld.

Nightwing had been watching the movements of the Midland kingdoms and could sense the growing power of the Succubus before him. But now, he glanced up and could sense that a startling power was affecting the world.

"What is this... insanity?" Nightwing frowned.

The power created a vast trembling throughout the world, and all that was Wisdom was being attacked.

At that moment, Nightwing felt a great pain appear on his forehead, and it was being sealed.

The seals of his body began to resound as the source of it had returned.

"Folly! These seals... are the seals of Folly!" Nightwing realized it and felt his power being attacked.

"I must resist it! Folly is attacking me! But why? Why didn't it attack before?!" Nightwing cursed as he resisted the power.

In the realms above, the young boy laughed as he sensed it.

"Oblivion... You must have felt it, right? Right? It hurts being burned by Histerion, but you must have remembered it, right?"

"...The Nephilim!" Oblivion remembered.

"That's right! That's right! Wisdom has been trolling you guys by the nose... But that's why I waited for foolishness to shine! Thankfully, that girl that gets everyone's motors running woke up, and the power of folly I stored in her would urge my return. Wisdom sealed me after I sealed that blasted being, the Trinity. Or have you guys forgotten about it?"

"Trinity? How can a Trinity be born?" End frowned.

"You guys think of only two points. Beginning and end. Love and hate. Wisdom and Folly. But in my Folly, I managed to hide right before you started your plan, End. Right when Oblivion shrouded the world, and Histerion tried to write what he could remember... I was outside of this Universe. I was in that world, that which has attained Eternity and that which has ended. You said I was crazy..."

"You were. You died." End frowned.

"Which was Wisdom's plan. You see, to stop the dual points of the Universe, Beginning and End, she harnessed numerous powers, including falsehood. And so... she needed..."

"Trinity!" Destiny echoed out in shock.

"Exactly! She needed to turn this Universe from the point of Duality and make it a Trinity. Instead of a linear point from beginning to end, she created a cycle!"

"Life... Death... and Reincarnation!" Thora also appeared and spoke in surprise. She had seen this cycle in the human world.

"You're saying that this cycle that applies to a very small portion of souls in this universe...!"

"Was created by Beginning and his team. Their secret weapon. Creating another member of the duality. Beginning, End, and Rebirth!"

"This... Why have we forgotten this?! Why would we allow Oblivion to make us and even himself forget this?" Destiny couldn't understand.

"Duh! Because you used Oblivion to seal it! They had a spell, the power, and were building it to alter the world. We all needed to forget. That's why we trapped Histerion's daughter and forced Histerion to take action. When we were weakened, Oblivion used his powers to seal all of the memory of this world. But Wisdom wouldn't let you and made her preparations as well. She hid the power of this third person, but before she could complete her spells, you also launched your attacks!"

"We tried to kill the child. But obviously, we failed." End frowned.

"Not exactly. You succeeded. That's why Destiny sees our victory, and you saw the End. That being they created was weakened by many curses and was forgotten in time. Yet the gods and fallen that are dead still whisper from the After Life Realm and speaks in riddles. They had seen this being when he was formed. A champion that should he rise would give Beginning her shot of victory."

"The Nephilim... So that's it. The whispers spoke of him..."

"But you guys should be thankful. Because when I died, I was also reborn! I was confused about how this was so... I was weak and had very little to work with. I needed gods and fallen to do stupid things. But Wisdom was keeping them all in line. But that girl was awakened, and it drove many gods and fallen mad! Their madness caused my return! And with it... we can find him!"

"You can find the Nephilim?"

"I just need to look for the smartest being in the mortal world. The one with the least folly. And we can make our attacks. Now's the time since ol' Wisdom and Beginning still don't know about him. But if we all work together, we can kill. Since he's a mortal, he could die if we cause the curse to attack him! But, if he survives, he will be too weak. So we just need to launch an incurable curse on him that not even Beginning's team can cure." Folly chuckled.

"It's good that you have returned, Folly." End chuckled.

"I told you. I will be the one that will create chaos in the world. A world of order and wisdom is boring! So let's cast that spell! But those other guys know we would be doing this and are probably preparing to counter our attack. So let's keep our curses not too deadly. The greater the power we send, the easier Fate, Wisdom, and Beginning will see it and block it. They don't know where the Nephilim is because of Oblivion, and I have used my Folly so that Wisdom won't remember her son easily. So don't curse him that assured him of his death, alright guys?" Folly smiled.

"Understood." Destiny answered.

"I'll start! I call on the Curse of Folly! Let the wise be dumb and the calm be made reckless. Let impulse take over calmness!" Folly raised his hands, and a strange power began to glow.

"I call on the curse of Destiny! Let He who is Hit be Destined for Trouble! Let the World Hate Him and Curse Him!" Destiny shouted.

"I call on the Curse of the Pause. Let his works be hindered, and may he be delayed. Let him be sealed time and time again!" Pausontai suddenly appeared and spoke his curse.

"I call on the Curse of Oblivion! Let him forget who he is, who he was, and who he will be! Let the world's knowledge of him fade to obscurity!" Lanthanou spoke his curse according to what was possible. Since they could not kill the Nephilim and needed to be wary of him, Lanthanou only cursed him so that some of the Gods would remember.

Thora tried to use her power, but she could not find the Nephilim.

"...This man!" Thora was angry as her power could not reach her. She was the goddess who watched and the goddess who caused decay. But her eyes could not find the man of great Wisdom.

"Leave it. The Watcher cannot see what is hidden. I shall use my Curse." End laughed.

"Let the victories and the constant success that he has felt end. Let there be toil and hardship in his steps. Let the works of his hands meet their end!" End spoke.

Folly laughed.

"Now that's a cruel curse! I guess this should be enough." And Folly sent the power to attack the smartest being alive.

Back in the Planesworld, Nightwing was struggling with his urge to fight Folly. He could feel his intelligence and wisdom were being devoured.

Suddenly, the world paused.

Nightwing felt great fear as he recalled this same sensation. 

But at that moment, he felt a power moving out of him.

Nightwing was startled initially but calmed down as he realized who it was.

He allowed his body to perform Blood Clone to split and create another form of himself.

He felt the power sap out of him. All the light source in his body was drained, and all that remained was the darkness.

Finally, the power of Folly attacked him.

There were no explosions and shockwaves, but the curses on Nightwing's body grew immense.

He suddenly felt heavy, and his consciousness was drifting to darkness.

"[Phos kai Skotos]." The blood clone spoke, and a figure appeared.

"...Kyros...! You... traitor!" Nightwing gritted his teeth as he saw the figure appear and understood the plan.

Kyros stood close by and harnessed his power to keep Nightwing's soul from being sealed in Oblivion and Pausontai.

"Calaminus!" Kyros called out.

"On it, boss!" The power of Time began to reverse and turned back time as much as it could. The full power of the curses stopped, and Nightwing stumbled as the world moved once more.
