Hwanin, Alex (Hwanwoong), and Prometheus were gradually completing a secret passage to Nemesis, using the power of the Titans to trace Hyperion's location. Every move had to be made with utmost caution to avoid the surveillance of Hyperion and the Etherion. As a result, their work had stretched over a long period.
Hwanin had tracked a trace of Hyperion in a third-dimensional space by following his unique energy signature. Hyperion's actions, clearly designed to encourage Etherion's internal division, were evidently a calculated part of a larger plan.
Hwanin:"Hyperion is trying to lure us. We've found traces of him, but it could all be a trap. Still, we can't afford to stop now."
Though memories of past clashes with Hyperion momentarily shook his resolve, Hwanin reaffirmed his focus. He knew this was more than a battle of strength—it would determine the future of his comrades and himself.
Alex (Hwanwoong) maximized the Titans' spatial manipulation abilities to construct a passage leading to Nemesis, hidden from Hyperion's gaze. Every detail was meticulously crafted to remain undetected.
Alex (Hwanwoong):"Even someone like Hyperion won't notice this path. It's a miniature version of all the hope we have left. We can't afford to fail."
By calculating spatial fractures precisely and mimicking the traces of other Titans, Alex forged a route so refined that Hyperion wouldn't easily perceive it. It would take considerable time before the enemy could even sense its existence.
Meanwhile, Prometheus meticulously examined the safety of the path and calculated the optimal moment to bypass the surveillance of Hyperion and Etherion. Responsible for coordination, he remained vigilant, knowing that even the smallest mistake could jeopardize everything.
Prometheus:"To avoid Hyperion and Etherion's eyes, we have to be even more cautious. They'll react faster than we think."
He repeatedly revised the route and minimized energy output to ensure no traces were left behind. Prometheus oversaw the final phase of the operation with unwavering focus, determined to make sure their efforts wouldn't be in vain.
As the construction progressed, Hyperion began to sense subtle distortions creeping toward him. While he couldn't fully identify their origin, he felt a foreign energy moving through space.
Hyperion:"This isn't just random fluctuation... someone is tracking me. But who?"
Hyperion swiftly adjusted his plans and ordered Etherion to tighten surveillance. This escalation heightened the pressure on Hwanin and his team, forcing them to work under even greater tension.
At last, when the path was complete, Hwanin, Alex, and Prometheus felt a moment of relief. They had forged this path with their pride as Titans and for the sake of the future they hoped to secure. They were confident this route would become the key to victory.
Hwanin:"This path isn't just a tunnel—it's our resolve. It's the only road through which we can defeat Hyperion."
Clasping hands, the three made a silent vow: they would not turn back. The path to Nemesis was their final chance—and they were prepared to seize it, no matter the cost.

Episode: The Crisis of Nemesis and the Fracture of Etherion
Inside Etherion, conflict between the young leadership and the old guard had thrown the entire system into disarray. The younger faction, focused on building their own influence, turned their attention outward—leaving Etherion's internal defenses dangerously vulnerable. Seeing this opening, Kim Young-min and Merslin made the bold decision to lead the united forces of Earth and Elysium to invade Nemesis.
Analyzing Etherion's internal divisions and weakened defense systems, Kim and Merslin devised a meticulous strategy. They combined Earth's cutting-edge science with Elysium's magic to create a new class of hybrid weaponry—capable of nullifying the enemy's shield network.
Kim Young-min:"Etherion's defense grid has crumbled under the weight of its own infighting. We can't waste this opportunity. The weapon we've built—let it be the hammer that breaks their shield."
Merslin:"This fusion of magic and science is the best we have to offer. Now it's time to show them what that means."
Under their command, the Allied Forces launched their assault. Earth-based missiles soared toward Nemesis's defensive perimeter, while Merslin and the mages of Elysium unleashed wide-range spells to weaken the energy barriers.
Kim Young-min:"Missiles away! Target the central defense line of Nemesis! All units, prepare for breach!"
Merslin:"Mages of Elysium, gather your strength! Thunder of the heavens, split our enemies apart!""Lightning, strike now! Shatter their defenses!"
A specially designed weapon—the Energy Dissolution Sphere, a product of combined Earth-Elysium innovation—was deployed. It absorbed Etherion's shielding energy and destabilized the entire structure. Amplifying the damage caused by the missile barrage, it utterly dismantled the barrier.
Earth Soldier:"Energy Dissolution Sphere is absorbing the shield! It's weakening rapidly!"
Kim Young-min:"Good! Keep pressing the attack! Their defense won't last!"
Elysium's archmages then unleashed their wide-range incantation, Flame Tempest, sending a radial burst of magical fire through enemy ranks. It tore through the frontline in one overwhelming strike.
Elysium Mage:"Flames, consume them—Flame Tempest!"
Merslin:"Their line is broken! All units, advance!"
The Allied Forces pressed the advantage, combining magical bombardment and missile strikes to overwhelm Etherion's defenses and seize key points within Nemesis. Caught off guard, Etherion's forces descended into chaos, their lines crumbling with little resistance.
Kim Young-min:"This battle will be ours! Forward, everyone! Don't stop until Nemesis is under our control!"
Meanwhile, the young leaders of Etherion received Nemesis's desperate plea for reinforcements—but, too consumed with their own agendas, they chose to ignore it. This indifference accelerated Nemesis's collapse, plunging Etherion deeper into internal crisis.

Episode: The Triumph of Merslin and Kim Young-min, and the Collapse of Etherion
Under the joint command of Kim Young-min and Merslin, the invasion of Nemesis was a resounding success. The Allied Forces—empowered by Earth's cutting-edge scientific weaponry and Elysium's arcane magic—swept through Etherion's defenses with overwhelming force. Nemesis's defensive lines crumbled swiftly, unable to withstand the onslaught of coordinated strategy and hybrid technology.
The combined might of the Energy Dissolution Sphere, developed by Kim and Merslin, and Elysium's devastating wide-area spell Thunderstrike, shattered the enemy's final bastion.
Merslin:"It's time we show them what we're capable of. Initiate Thunderstrike!"
Elysium Mage:"O thunder, destroy our enemies!"
Earth Soldier:"The Energy Dissolution Sphere has completely neutralized their barrier! They have no way to resist!"
With their leadership, the Allied Forces captured Nemesis stronghold by stronghold. Etherion's defenses were in ruins.
The Etherion high council had not anticipated such a swift collapse. Desperate, they called on the younger leadership for reinforcements—only to be met with silence. Consumed by ambition and external operations, the young leadership ignored the call. Internal distrust and fragmentation deepened, and Etherion's command structure teetered on the edge of collapse.
Senior Councilor:"We never saw this coming. If the young leaders won't intervene, Nemesis is finished."
Another Elder:"We were too arrogant. We neglected our defenses... This kind of assault—we never imagined it!"
Yet Another:"They still won't support us. They care only about expanding their own influence!"
Having seized control of Nemesis, Kim Young-min and Merslin wasted no time. They initiated the next phase of their plan, capitalizing on Etherion's internal chaos while laying the groundwork for the final confrontation against Hyperion. Kim focused on further advancing Earth's science and integrating it more deeply with Elysium's magic to decisively overpower their enemies.
Kim Young-min:"Nemesis is ours. Etherion is unraveling from within. They are no longer a match for us. We will win this war."
Earth Scientist:"Our technology has proven capable of dismantling Etherion's defenses. With further enhancements, even Hyperion won't stand a chance."
Merslin:"This alliance between Earth and Elysium will reshape the very balance of this war. We're only getting stronger."
Under their bold leadership, the Allied Forces prepared for the inevitable clash with Hyperion. With Etherion fractured and weakened, Kim and Merslin began crafting a new world order—one that would rise beyond the ruins of gods.
