(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Friendly Chat)
"OH MY GOD, I'M SO HAAAPPPPPPPY!" Furina jumped to Levi and rubbed her cheeks against his.
"B-Big Sis!" Levi exclaimed.
"My baby brother is getting married! Waaaaaaah!" She unleashes waterworks as everyone sweatdrops.
"Furina." Mavuika pulling Furina away. "Stop with the waterworks."
"Hey! Let go of me!" Furina yelling, wagging her arms around.
"For real? You two got engage?" Elliot asked, looking at Levi's engagement ring. "Wow! That's a beautiful ring!"
"So you finally tying the knot, huh? Congrats Rean! Levi!" Crow clapping his hands.
"Oh, I'm so happy for you both!" Alisa clapped her hands. "If the ring is on Levi... does that mean you propose Rean?"
"That's right. It's been a thought I had for awhile. And..." Rean scratch his cheek. "The question sudden pop up."
"Oh, I'm so happy for you two!" Elise (Trails) clapping her hands.
"Eeeek! It's about time!" Alfin cheered. "Does that mean Levi will take the Schwarzer name? Or will you take his last name Rean."
"Well." Levi scratch his cheek as his blushed. "I've discussed it with Rean. I'm going to be taking Schwarzer name."
"And let me guess. It's also because Instructor Rean is the top?" Musse asked with a grin.
"Top of what?" Lapis asked
"I'll explain when you're older." Neve replied.
"What do you mean when I'm older?"
"You're far too young to understand."
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are."
"Haha! Congratulations Rean. Guess me and Elie also has news to share involving that regard." Lloyd smiled. "I propose to Elie awhile ago."
"Say what?!" Randy yelled. "Why didn't you tell us before?!"
"A lot of stuff happened, remember? There wasn't a good time to talk about it."
"Either way, this is good news! For both Rean and Lloyd!" Tio cheered
"Woohoo! I'm so happy Lloyd! Elie! Rean and Levi too!" KeA cheered as she hug Lloyd, then Elie, Then Rean and then Levi.
"So when's the wedding?" Wazy asked.
"We haven't make plans for it yet." Lloyd said.
"Same for me and Levi." Rean chin in.
"Ooooh! I've always wanted to plan a wedding!" Furina pulled out a paper out of nowhere. "We have got to start it! Who should I do first? Rean and Levi's first? Or Bannings?" Wait, this is my little brother I'm talking about! So I'm course I'm going to choose him! I must be the supportive big sister!"
Levi and Rean sweatdrop.
"B-Big Sis, I appreciate the help but, me and Rean want to discuss it." Levi said
"Oooooh no!" Furina got up close to Levi, yelling, and then stepped back. "Planning a wedding is something I ALWAYS wanted to do." Furina then went to the corner with the gloomy atmosphere. "Especially since neither of us Titans even got married like how you humans do..."
Everyone sweatdrops again.
Levi turn to his siblings. "Wait, you guys haven't gotten married?"
"Sadly no." Venti shook his head. "We've had relationships before, but they ended up... you know."
"Oh..." Noel Seeker grimaced.
"Yeah, that would be tough on them." Sakura (Street Fighter) muttered.
"But we do always treasure the memories of the loved ones." Zhongli said. "But this is the first of our family to get married. And thus, this is a moment of celebration to welcome a new family member. Including where both mine and Rean's join in unity."
"You know the shocking about this is how our Divine Blade here is marrying a god." Kevin said. "Literally."
"Well, I for one, am happy for them. At least Levi isn't Zeus." Palutena said.
"Isn't he the God of Lightning back then?" Pit asked.
"Yes, and quite the womanizer."
"Aaaaanyway!" Furina interrupted. "Which is why I always wanted to plan a wedding! Of course, I never have experience planning one but... we must get to work on it! From what I've seen so far, we got to choose the place! Then sent invitations, finding an official. It has to be perfect!"
"I have thought of a place actually." Rean turn to Peach. "Since the Mushroom Kingdom is the old Class VII met Levi. I thought it would be there. I was hoping we can discuss with you Pincess Peach about—"
"But of course!" Peach clapping her hands in joy. "We can use my castle! Just like we did with Crow and Morgan's wedding! I'll even bake a wedding cake!"
"Then the rest of us must find a wedding gift for the celebration." Gaius nodded.
"Not to mention days off to attend the wedding." Machias said.
"Oh, I'm sure we can managed." Rean said. "But Levi and I have a lot to discuss but we can appreciate the help and advice. But first, I want to let Mom and Dad know."
"That's right! Maybe we can even ask them for some wedding advice too." Elise agreed.
"Yeah and we want all of you to come to join the celebration too. All of you are our closest and best friends we can ever hope for." Levi smiled. "And, we'll have to add the other Animni of Thors too."
"Then let's begin planning!" Furina exclaimed, "Come on, let's use the table and we can discuss!" She pushed Rean and Levi.
"Whoa, Furina, hey!" Rean exclaimed
Ei sighed. "That girl."
"Wait... did he seriously invite me to come along?" Mcburn asked.
"That's... a good question." Noel scratched his cheeks.
"Heh. I'm not even sure if I'm invited as well." Rufus said
"Oh, but I would love to go! The wedding cake sounds absolutely delicious!" Lapis cheered. "Can we please do?"
"If we have the invitation."
"Haha. All this talk about the wedding suggests we should start too, Lloyd. While we have the time."
"You're right. Mind giving us a hand, everyone?" Lloyd asked
"I thought you never ask! Come on, let's go find a seat to discuss!" Wazy pulled Lloyd and Elie as they headed elsewhere.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story ost - Have a Nice Talk)
"Aww." Lapis frowning as she with her Imperial Picnic Group found someplace else to sit down. " While I do like the see what a wedding would be like, but right when we were supposed to be heading off and explore Twilight Town and explore the real world... This happened..."
"I know you were looking forward to it, but it's out of our control now." Rufus petting Lapis's head.
"Not to mention Radiant Garden is just the first tour. We still haven't chosen our next destination in Zemuria." Neve added. "Anyone got an idea. Or do you want to explore the other worlds?"
"Hmm... Exploring the other worlds might be an interesting idea...But I don't wanna waste your money on us since we have Mira." Swin said
"Then how about I join you guys?" Nahida approached.
"Oh hey, Nahida!" Nadia greeted. "What's this about joining us?"
"Wel,l why not? After all, I did say Lapis here is like my daughter. Irmensul created Elysium because of the Great Twilight and the Orbal Net. And Elysium created Lapis as the administrator to learn about humanity, therefore like I said before, Lapis is like my daughter. So why shouldn't a Mother be there for her child?"
"Doesn't that mean the Great Twilight and the Orbal Net mean they're Lapis' Parents and you're the grandmother or something?" Swin asked, tilting his head.
"Let's not sweat the details. Besides. I want to spend time with Lapis. I haven't spent much time with her after all this, and I want to know much about her and help teach her too. I want to see how Lapis has grown since meeting you all. Plus, if you want to travel to other worlds without using Neve's Munny, I can help with that."
"Ooh~ Does that mean you can make money?" Nadia's eyes sparkled as she clapped her hands.
"Nadia..." Neve giving her a lecture look. "Wel,l I don't mind. What say the rest of you?"
"Well I don't mind. This is also a perfect opportunity for Nahida to take care of Lapis's needs whenever I'm busy." Rufus replied.
"Well, I for one, am all in!" Nadia fist pump.
"Well, guess everyone is on board then." Swin said.
"Woohoo! We got a new member of the Imperial Picnic Group!"
"Please stop calling us that." Swin sighed. "Anyway, regarding where to do next. I was thinking we should go see Joerg, actually."
"That's a wonderful idea, Swin!" Lapis cheered. "I'd love to meet him for myself!'
"I guess he did craft your body." Nadia pointed out.
"In that case, where do we meet him?" Nahida asked.
"Unfortunately, we don't know where he is." Nadia support her right cheek. "Hey, S. Do you think you know who would connect us if we called in a favor?"
"You mean the one who introduced us to Joerg in the first place?" Swin asked. "I don't imagine it would be easy. It would likely come with a price."
"In that case, I know just the thing!" Nadia slapped her hands. "I've learned about a great little spot in the Erebonia, Crossbell, Paldea to the Mushroom Kingdom gourmet guide I picked up."
"Huh? Who's 'you-know-who'?" Lapis asked
"I'm guessing it's someone who introduces you to the meister." Neve said.
"Regardless, I'll go with you wherever you like. It'll have to wait until after we've taken care of things here, however." Rufus said
"Sure. Let's get this over with so we can get our show back on the road." Lapis cheered
"Ceruledge/Raaru/Papapa/Gallade!" Ceruledge, Ursaring, Gallade and Magearna agreed
"Hehe! I'm excited." Nahida giggled. "By the way, Neve. Don't you think you should get a Pokemon too?"
"I'm considering it. I have some good ideas to catch." Neve replied.
"Oh? Who's the Pokemon? I bet it's an Ice-Type, isn't it?"
"You got me."
(BGM ended)
Later...
(Trails into Reverie ost - Mysterious Elements)
"Hah. We've finally made it here." Roselia sighed as they arrived at the depths with her team: Vita, Emblem Arianrhod, Alear, Emblem Marth, Amia, Emblem Rean, Aurelia, Aether, Erza and Jingliu.
"Haha. The monsters here are fine practice." Aurelia said. "What's more, I even got to see the skills of the legendary Ice Blademaster."
"As well with you as the Golden Rakshasa. The one who bested the Steel Maiden. I have a competition." Jingliu replied with a smirk.
"Ahaha. If only me and Amia is capable of reaching that level of skill." Alear rub his backhead sheepish.
"Oh, I'm sure you both will." Emblem Marth smiled.
"That reminds me, is Emblem Schwarzer is in the same level of skill as his original?" Aurelia asked.
"I am a Divine Blade actually. But I've never admitted it." Emblem Rean replied.
"I've face many swordswoman before. Perhaps I should introduce you to them." Erza said. "But before that. We've got something to take care off." She said as the white siloutette girl appeared.
"So she's here. But it's not just her I sense." Vita remarked as two large vortez appeared and appeared was Holy Beast Roselia and Argres.
(BGM paused)
(Trails into Reverie ost - Bad Dream Invasion)
"No way...!" Aether summon his sword.
"What?!" Roselia gasped as she summon her staff. "How is it possible to replicate Argres and my true form!?"
"They're Aidios holy beast! Watch out, everyone!" Palutena announced.
"How is this even possible...?!" Rean wondered.
"Chaos Rean or whatever causing this knows how to make thing busy I see." Zhongli muttered.
"We can discuss later." Emblem Arianrhod readied her lance. "Rose. Everyone. Do not hold back!"
"No need to tell me twice!" Roselia yelled as both Holy Beasts roared.
Aidios Holy Beasts - Roselia and Agres
Alear form a combat link with Amia, Vita form a combat link with Roselia, Aether form a combat link with Aurelia, Jingliu form a combat link with Erza. Aurelia form a Pokemon link with Kingambit, Aether form a Pokemon link with Cinderace and Jingliu form a Pokemon link with Froslass.

Aether lung toward Roselia to slash her fiercely and Cinderace jump and repeatedly stomping her face and bounce off for Aurelia sent out slash projections, then lung toward and pass through the Holy Beast while Roselia and Vita combined their magic together to throwout barrcades of laser beams toward both Holy Beasts.
"Holy Beast Roselia is vulnerable to Water Types, Rock Types, and Electrive Types Moves. Holy Beast Agres is vulnerable to Fairy Type, Ice Types and Dragon Types moves." Roselia's AI Master Quart informed.
"Requip!" Erza transforms into her Flame Empress Armor. She lung toward Agres and deal slashes toward his face, but he shields with his hand and then backhands Erza.

Vita summon throw azure tornados from her Fan while Grianos appeared above her and then fired a laser beam toward Holy Beast Roselia.
"You know, this is actually quite strange for you to fight yourself, Grandmother." Vita commend.
"I know! I know this is a replicate but this is weird!" Roselia swirl and then tap the ground and summon large spheres of fire and launch them toward Holy Beast Roselia.
Holy Beast Roselia flapping her hand to form a tornado to blow away the attack and then her eyes flash and firing laser beams toward the witches as they cast a barrier to block the attack. Roselia spotted Aether dash toward her and then screech at him, halting him and push him away with its voice until Cinderace used Bounce and kick Holy Beast's Roselia's head.
"Turn to Dust!" Aurelia unleash her Craft: Supreme Prismatic Tetra Blade and impale the ground to spout multiple various colors of blades that strike underneath the Holy Beast Roselia and Aether follow up by extending his blade with electricity and then swing vertically, causing a powerful strike.
Aether chanelling water from his hand and then throw a rapid sphere toward and slam hard on Holy Beast Roselia.
"Golden Arc Blade!" Aether unleahs his craft as he unleash a golden arc slash toward Holy Beast Roselia to deal a powerful blow to push it back and it hissed at him.
Holy Beast Roselia open her mouth and fired a massive beam toward Aether but he jump out of the way and then summon large boulders and throw them at Holy Beast Roselia to crush her.
"Aether that's me you're crushing!" Roselia yelled.
Vita sweatdrop. "Grandmother, that's a replica. Not you."
"I-I know that!"
"Do you now?" Emblem Arianrhod wondered with a doubtful look as Holy Beast Roselia broke out of the boulders and then flew into the air, then spread out her wings and unleashed a barricade of laser beams.
Aether impaled the ground and created a massive stone wall to repel the attack. Then Holy Beast Roselia flew toward the strike and crumbled it down with her strength as everyone shield their eyes from the dust, then Holy Beast Roselia swing her paws for a fiery clash to push Aether and Aurelia away. Kingambit punch the ground for Stone Edge to travel and deal a supereffective hit against Holy Beast Roselia as Roselia swirl her staff and then raised it high for multiple magic circles to unleash barrcade of laser beams while Vita summon ice to bind and imprison her until shattered with a magical attack while hit with laser beams.

Holy Beast Roselia unleash a heatwave attack but Aether raised his Sword as it glowed with golden energy and then slam down for a massive sunder. Emblem Arianrhod readied her lance and then thrust forward to pass through Holy Beast Roselia and then swing her rapidly thrust attack. Then she raised her lance and shoot lightning to strike down the holy beast. Vita spin gracefully and swing her fan upward as she cast her magic to summon blue energy spheres that created multiple and large ice shards and launched them toward Holy Beast Roselia, creating a powerful icy explosion.
"Divine One's Arts!" Amia put her Tachi away, then take a battle stand where she ran up toward Agres who was going to backhand her until Alear took an Iaijutsu Stand and throw Divine Flames projection attack to intercept.

Agres open his mouth and channel energy to unleash a massive beam toward the group, causing a wide trail of explosions. The Spoke cleared, revealing Erza to be in her Adamantine Armor protected her group from the attack.
"Emblems and Spirit of the Divine Dragons, guide my hand." Alear close his eyes as a powerful presence surrounded him as Alear's Tachi gleamed with Divine Dragon's power. He dashes toward and pass through Agres with a wide slash, then move around with blinding speed, dealing phantom slashes. He reappeared in front, then raised his Tachi high as his battle aura skyrocketed and manifested into Asian Dragons. "Divine Dragon Roar!" He swing down hard as the Asian Dragons follow with a massive roar and slam the ground hard, causing a massive destruction force dealt to Agres as he roared in pain.
Aether extended his sword with golden energy, unleashing a flurry of slashes and then warp around it, dealing a field of slashes until he swings upwards right, then downwards left, slashes downwards right, then finishes with a wide horizontal slash to the right, forming a Cross Slash that converted into damage. "Golden Cross Raid!"
"Rakshasa Onslaught!" Aurelia then deal the finishing blow with her S-Craft as Holy Beast Roselia roared in pain.
Both Holy Beast then vanished.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming Mysterious Elements)
Back with the group...
Alfred whistle. "Wow! The Divine Ones technique is incredible!"
"Summoning two dragons from his aura... What a sight to behold." Diamant said in praised.
"Wow. I've never seen him do that before." Hortensia said.
"Nor have I. It's incredible." Ivy said, fangirling.
"Wow. So that's his S-Craft. You taught him well, Rean." Levi chuckled.
"Ahaha. I didn't do the teaching." Rean scratch his cheek. "My Emblm Self taught im."
"But isn't he you as an Emblem? I mean he's technically your student along with Amia." Emblem Roy pointed out.
"That's... huh..."
Back with the Team...
"Phew!" Alear wipe his forehead as the barrier to the next stadium disappeared. "That was a rough fight."
"I'll say." Amia sighed
Roselia panted heavily. "I am... long past the age of playing around with such trials. Few foes are stronger than those of my true form and dear friend."
Everyone sweatdrop.
"Rose..." Emblem Arianrhod giving a deadpan look
"Grandmother..." Emma sighed
"Come on..." Celine muttered.
"Really, Rose? I mean, Really?" Paimon palm face.
"Why am I not surprised that you actually said that." Aether muttered
"You WOULD praise yourself like that." Vita sighed
"Well." Aurelia put her sword away. "It was a splendid battle."
"Indeed. But if the mirror said is correct..." Erza rub her chin. "Then the Holy Beasts weren't supposed to be the original floor guardians."
"Why must you persist?" A voice asked as the white ghost appeared before them, but her appearance resembled KeA.
Back with the group...
What?!" Tio gasped as they all stare in disbelief.
"KeA?!" Lloyd gasped.
"..." KeA stare in disbelief.
"But her hair and eyes are different color." Nahida rub her chin. "Not to mention her eyes are Ishmelga's seal..."
"That is because I am nothing like her." The girl spoked. "KeA" is not my name."
Back to the group...
"I have not been in existence for long. But at the same time, I have existed in this space since long before your arrival. You are the invaders—not me."
"Wait? We're the Invaders? What do you mean by that?" Pit asked.
The Black Mirror operator appeared. "Falsities detected. The Black Mirror is responsible for the administration and supervision of this space. Irrespective of how you come to exist, your presence is an irregularity. Now requesting you to relinquish control of this area at once."
"You misunderstand. This situation may be irregular, but my existence is not." The girl replied. "All would be well had the observer of the land of Erebos chosen not to intervene in the causality of the land of fates."
"You speak of the event that transpired in Crossbell." Nahida spoked.
"But what do you mean 'observer of the land of Erebos?'" Palutena asked
"There is much that you do not know— And I see no reason to enlighten you. Persist in your resistance, and the consequences will be devastating. Consider this your final warning." The girl spoked and then she vanished.
"Well, this is quite the turn of event, huh?" Hazama asked
"Everyone, come back and we can discuss as a group." Palutena said as a ray of light pull them away.
Back with the group...
(Trails into Reverie ost - Lapis)
"I find it suspicious for her to call us invaders." Miko said. "But what does she mean by that? Got any ideas Zero Child?"
"I don't know to be honest." KeA said. "But while she was talking, I got this strange feeling. That vague sense of unease I'd been feeling suddenly felt much stronger. If only I knew who she is... I couldn't sense a single thing from her. That's never happened to me before."
"Then it would explain why you were uneasy." Kazuha said. "If you are unable to sense any form of destiny, then it make sense this feeling would be unusual."
"But this is all far from a coincidence." Arval said. "Her appearance identical to KeA, and her being here. But we still have enough information to connect the dots."
"Same here. I'm totally lost." Shez agreed.
"There's something niggling at me, but I can't put my finger on it." Altina said
"In what way?" Juna asked
"Umm..." Altina hummed as she support her cheek. "Well, I think it's safe to assume that she's is somehow related to KeA. But I don't feel like she's ONLY related to KeA."
"So you're saying she somehow connected to you and Millium?" Mavuika asked.
"That's... how I feel at least."
"Hmm..." Kamek rub his chin. "This is very interesting."
"But before we go into that... I've got a question for you, Zongli." Lloyd turn to Zhongli. "Just what is the Reverie Corridor?"
"Hmm..." Zhongli close his eyes as he fold his arms.
"That's a good question." Rixia agreed.
"Yeah. Kida hard to grapple with the harder problems, when we don't even have the first clue of the basics." Randy agreed.
"We were just summoned here one day." Emma said
"It's helped us get stronger, so it's cool to exists, but..." Fie continued.
"We know to nothing of its true nature." Sharon finished.
Zhongli remain silent for a moment until he open his eyes.
"Very well. I apologize if I was keeping some critical information. However, I was not wrong this space is used to help hones skills of warriors." Zhongli said. "I'll explain in a manner that can be easy to understand. As you know, the Reverie Corridor is a term applied to realms that can be expended freely in order to fulfill a specific purpose. The Gnomes used these as providing ground to select future Awakeners for the Divine Knights. However, I created this artifact for a different purpose while the Gnomes use it for their own purpose."
Zhongli turn to the Black Mirror. "The Black Mirror is a system designed to watch over causality and guard its laws from interference. But for why it activated... I consulted the Black Mirror. And it told me roughly 1,200 years ago, it detected the near-limitless scanning of those laws by Elysium's prediction. That's what caused it to forcibly reactivated."
"A while system built to watch over causality?" Towa rub her chin.
"Hmm. So we're here because of Elysium." Silver said.
"But what do you mean by 'forcibly reactivated'?" Amy asked.
"By the time I had reactivated, Elysium had already deployed manifestations of the impossibility on a vast scale. Due to the individual you know as Chaos Rean who stole Elysium from the Tree of Knowledge." The Black Mirror chin in. "It was apparent that my original functions would not suffice, and so I created a Reverie Corridor in a high-level phase space. Through the Black Mirror's administration, I aimed to bring out the true potential of its visitors."
"That explain quite a bit, though there is still plenty that's beyond our understanding." Duvalie said
"Even this is a lot to take in, really." Gaius said.
"Elysium was capable of making the impossible possible in Zemuria. Same with Chaos Rean's existence and his powers. Defeating something of that nature should have been out of our reach." Lapis said. "The only reason we emerged victorious was because we trained in a place, like Elysium, was not of this world."
"That makes sense why we were brought here." Neve rub his chin. "Chaos Rean's power as a primordial force is frightening."
"But didn't Rean and the others defeat him when he gained Kingdom Heart's power?" Millium asked
"No." Neve shook his head." Xehanort only gains the X-Blade, not the full power of Kingdom Hearts. Were it otherwise, even some of you couldn't defeat him in battle. Even Ishmelga or Dragon God Grima. And above all the threats, Dragon God Grima was the ultimate threat to the universe. You've all experienced what it was like when he crushed you all, correct?"
"That's true." Palutena nodded. "Dragon God Grima's power was on the same level as Roselina in her Supernova form. No one was able to outmatch that level of power that can affect the universe on a massive scales on lightspeed."
"When you put it that way, it makes sense." Riku nodded. "Not to mention also going against something that calculates your every move."
"Hmm." Goofy rubs his chin. "Looking at it back, it's easy to see this space was the key to our victory."
"And even with the training we gained through here, defeating Both Chaos Rean and Elysium was no easy task." Donald nodded.
"Yeah. It took all that we had to eke out victory." Tartaglia nodded.
"That we won makes being brought here worth its while—so thank you, Black Mirror. Zhongli." Lloyd smiled. "As you can tell, we couldn've easily lost our fight without your creation's intervention."
"Heh. There's no need to thank me." Zhongli smiled.
"So if the girl in white really is causing trouble here, then we'll fight again to keep things here right."
"Yeah." Rean nodded. "It's our responsibility to see to what Elysium and Chaos Rean left behind the same way we dealt with both Elysium and Chaos Rean."
"Hey! I should be the one saying that!" Lapis pouted
"Lapis." Neve giving a deadpan look.
"I just wanna get this done and over with so I can get back to being lazy." Nadia giggled
"Seriously?" March 7th asked with a deadpan look. "That's your reason? To slack off?"
"In any event. I can understand the situation we're in. Especially since the feelings both Millium and Altina felt. Including that girls' connection to KeA." Dan Heng said. "But there is something that been bothering my mind. Who exactly is the Black Mirror?"
"He's got a point." Stelle nodded. "It's hard not to wonder who is capable of interfering with the laws of causality and shifting our circumstances like so."
"Hmm..." Caelus rub his chin. "Dan Heng is up to something here. I mean... we are talking about the space that the Founders of the Astral Express created, along with this place, right?"
"True. This place has a similar scale to Phnatasma that I've heard about." Himeko said.
"There's also the fact the girl mention the Black Mirror as 'the observer of the land of Erebos,' didn't she?" Welt asked.
"Couple that with the Black Mirror calling itself 'a system designed to watch over causality,' and it gave me an idea." Rean said. "I think the Black Mirror is—"
"Ahh..." Aether close his eyes. "So that's it..."
"I see now..." Vita rub her chin. "You have observed the Empire for a very long time indeed, haven't you. While authoring the Black Records."
"N-No way!" Celine gasped
"I had a feeling." Roselia sighed. "The Black Mirror's true identity as one of Zhognli's creation is likely one of the many artifacts left behind in phase space. the Casusality Recording Engine, AZOTH."
"Oh!" Peach gasped. "That's the same name as it appeared in the final chapter in the Black Records!"
"Heh." Zhongli let out a proud smile. "It seems you all figured it out. It's true. AZOTH and the Black Mirror are both one in the same, with AZOTH being the initial identifying title. My little brother has chosen a worthy partner indeed."
"B-Brother..." Levi said as he blush and look the other way.
"Again, I apologize if I was holding information. It was not my intention." Zhongli turn to the Black Mirror. "Before the birth of Zemuria to now, I created this artifact to observe causality of this world. And it was Arnor the Adjudicutor was the first to activated it. And my creation has existed as the Black Record. It used the Sseptium Veins synchronization with the Spirit Shrines to record and preserve major events for all eternity. Just as Aether who was watching over Erebonia, wanted to prevent Ishmelga's vile deeds. And setting Erebonia on the right path."
"The Black Record were an incredible guide for us, yeah." Sara nodded.
"They were also the foundation of His Excellency's plan." Rufus added. "Everything has fallen into place for me now."
"You gotta be pretty devoted to your job to keep at it for over 1,200 years, but it paid off big for us." Ash comment.
"I had no idea that was how the Black Records came to be passed down through our family." Alfin trailed off.
"As a descendant of House Arnor, I can hardly begin to express my gratitude." Olivert said
"Haha. I can't quite relate as much as all of you from the Empire can... but now that we partly know the meaning behind what that girl said, it makes me curious about..." Lloyd said
"This situation may be irregular, but my existence is not. All would be well had the observer of the land of Erebos chosen not to intervene in the causality of the land of fate."
