We arrive at a large altar that just screams "Doomsday Device"

If there was someone left to be rescued, this would be the place where they were going to be sacrificed by the villain

Richard: "I knew you would show up". Geez, that's some lack of confidence in your subordinates.

His point is not exactly wrong, tbh. Liberl only won the last war because they had airships, and Erebonia is certainly gonna make them. (also lol at Calvard being strong because they have a lot of people, they are basically China). Problem is that this is an RPG and ancient Earth altering powers in RPGs ALWAYS backfire badly. Plus the whole misogynistic coup thing being bad and stuff

Estelle makes a speech about the power of friendship

Heh. Richard also got memory wiped. And he is aware of it, but doesn't care. Josh figures it out pretty amazingly. Not sure if the memory wipe included a brainwash or not, though. Perhaps it included early on but then Richard just accepted his newfond fascist power after he broke free of it? This reminds me of the broken Empire trilogy, except the protagonist is more self aware than Richard is

The boss has two robots, which are a stronger version of those chest impede bots. Annoying. But this time, I spam Clock up Ex

there is a cool sequence where Richard uses his s-craft, which makes a ton of blood flow from Estelle and knock her out, but then immediately after, Kloe uses her s-craft, and bring Estelle and everyone else back to full HP. with defensive buffs for evewryone since she had 200 cp. Overkill

Impede is fine but not enough when it only stops 1 out of every 3 white gehennas I fire

the fact this is going rather easily and that the music has played in other battles before suggests this is just Phase 1

Kloe keeps getting the epic moments. Richard decides to use his s-craft on her next, which leaves her at 100 HP, she revides with a Blue Impact and takes him down. And the fight levels her up so she just recovers everything

Richard pulls an Ozymandias. Why, do you think I would have allowed you to get here if there was a chance you could stop my plan? The device already activated

The gospel removes the seal, which releases the Aureole

... Lavos, is that you?

Kind of gives the same vibe

Exclusive battle song now. I think this is it

Final Boss Phase 2

Reverie? Isn't that the name of the 10th game?

Lavos is down. He's kind of neat, with the right and left bits being immune to physical attacks and magic, respectively. But it's still too little against this lv 38 party. Will there be a Phase 3?

to be found out after I have lunch

Estelle: Why won't it just DROP already? The 4th wall is no match to our protagonist.
