A/n
I just realized I'm close to only having ¼ of this book left to write in. (๑•﹏•)

3rd POV
"Since ancient times, if the stars line up together, it means there will be good omen, and today is the first time in 18 years..." Lilia mumbled out as he looks up at the night sky. "No, is it 100 years.... Or maybe 300 years? Anyway, it's been a long time."

"Hmm... In other words, it's not something that the children of humans get to see every time, right?" Malleus turned to Lilia.

"Yes, but... You will be seeing the stars lining up again and again in your long life." Lilia gave a small nod as Malleus stayed silent. "By the time the stars line up again, the world must have changed a lot. And you have to accept it. Understand?"

"I know, that's why I entered this school." Malleus hummed out.

"Listen, Malleus. Never forget the pain that you felt in this place today. You must carry this pain with you as you continue to live for a long time in the future." Lilia firmly said to Malleus.

"... I'll keep that in mind." Malleus mumbled out.

"Good boy." Lilia smiled. "Now let's pray to that star so that everyone can return safely."

"You're right." Malleus nodded.

"........... I have made many wishes to that star before.... But this may be the last time." Lilia muttered softly as he closed his eyes.

".... Eh?"

Back at 'S.T.Y.X', Idia was finishing up his report and was about to send it when his floating tablet pinged. A call was received as Idia thought it was just a report on another minor Phantom testing.

"Yes. This is Idia Shroud."

"Deputy Head, this is a report on the 'Lethe River' applied to case No. LOD-62." A Member of 'S.T.Y.X.' informed Idia. "Charging is 100% completed. Every setup of the information security team has been completed. Charon's 'Hexa Team' has arrived at the sea area of 'Sage's Island'."

"2200, it's the time I expected. Great job." Idia hummed out with a nod. "Then let's start the 'flood' at 12 just like we planned..." Suddenly, the room's lights went out. "!!!?? What happened!? The lights just went out!?" Idia turned to his tablet and called back to the Control Room. "Control Room, answer me. Control Room? I can't contact them. The phone.... It's not working. The dood won't open either. It hasn't switched to the emergency power supply....? I need to check the situation first. Emergency door.... Found it. It's this." Idia grabbed hold of the handle of the Emergency door and pulled with all his might. But unfortunately, he was having a difficult time opening it. "Gah!!! If it's supposed to be used in an emergency, then the lock shouldn't be so right!! I demand an improvement!" Idia huffs turned to into squeaks as he tried once again to open the Emergency door with all his might. And eventually, it opens. (A/n: Idia literally said "No! My weak nerd arms!")

Idia rushed out of the room and through the halls to reach the Control Room. Everywhere he turned, there was no power whatsoever. Panic started to form inside his chest as he stopped in the middle of the hall to catch his breath.

"Haa, has... I finally came out." Idia huffed out. "Ortho! Check the emergency power supply in the main office!" No answer. "... Ortho? No, he doesn't respond. The direction mic inside the building is not working. What is happening....." Suddenly, emergency alarms sounded off as the halls were soon sealed off.

"Blot warning. Blot warning." An Announcer said through the speakers. "Detected the rising of Blot density in the hall. Please get ready for your emergency deployment immediately."
