>>5972183"AAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Out of the muddy water, you let out a victorious cry as you see nobody but yourself and Gunpowder with not a gray hair in sight. You've actually pulled it off. Conrad is no more. The silver eyed clan has had the last laugh. Not only that, but you have managed to breach through their last line of defense while finding a way to defeat them, even if you are out of seeds to make more mandragoran essence, the tides have turned from 4 to 2 against a more even 3-2.
"YOU MISERABLE INSECT!" Ubik appears from thin air as he attempts to attack you by sending a spiked piller into your throat, but stops at the last second to see the great array of souls stretching their solid tendrils onto the ceiling of the dark dimension.
Much like a mole scratching at the ground, they were slowly tearing off pieces of it's upper side to contain itself, only resulting in more open craters and demonic rubble that you had to dodge with your mount.
"Much like the last cycle of God Hands, this one must be destroyed to reinitiate the new world that is to come." Void reveals that their ultimate sacrifice must happen in order to their plans to be fulfilled. None who have entered this place shall survive, and that includes them.
One last lunge from Gaiseric as he opened a portal to attempt to suck Void into the idea of evil made him and the remaining fingers take you more seriously, as you fought the force of the vortex that attempted to kill you off for good, you started to hear a familiar scream from the Black Swordsman himself.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" The ceiling suddenly bursts open, showing a gravely wounded Casca falling along with all the remnants under Falconia, the city itself began to crumble and appear into the God Hand dimension, and though Hyde, Morda and the flying squadron attempted to save as many as they could, several souls became one with the abyss, being dismembered and dissipating as they became one with eternity.
Apparently Casca was stabbed through the heart by a dying apostle, though despite Guts' screaming, the behelit did not awake for him, but for Lucio, who was being taken from his father in a cocoon by a swift Slan, attempting to hear the moonchild's wishes to possibly save his mother.
The moon is still visible from the sky, losing it's red color as a good number of apostles still survive the fall while every other civilian splatters through the floor, though those were the lucky ones compared to who was being impaled or sent directly into the collective unconsciousness.
>Save Casca from dying.>Search for Farnese.>Reach Guts.>Attack Slan and get her away from Lucio.>Attempt to speak to Lucio directly.>Fire a soul arrow at Lucio.
