...Ah, so this is what they were
keeping in the lower levels.

What is all this?

That blastia network that Alexei was
trying to create... This is all equipment
that was to be used for that.

All of this...?

Yes. It seems that he had Barbos
set up Ghasfarost as one of
the nodes in the network.

So Alexei was behind what
Barbos was doing, after all.

With Zaude at the center of the network,
and other nodes at Ghasfarost, the capital,
Capua, Halure, Heliord, and Aspio...

This network siphoned aer from
blastia all over the world to Zaude,
giving him all that power.

Aer should be used so people can
live happily, but he wanted to use
it for his own personal gain...

And that's what caused this
teensy little global catastrophe
we're dealin' with.

I can't forgive what he did,
but I can't help feelin'
a little sorry fer him.

There's no need to
feel sorry for him.

It's because of Alexei's evil
deeds that our world is in
such trouble right now.

There's no use arguing about
someone who's already dead!

What's important is that fight to
protect what's important to us now.

I couldn't have said it
better myself, Karol.

Ah, it was nothing...

What the... This is...

What's up, Rita?

This is what Alexei was using.

It's the fake Dein Nomos.

How'd it get here?

Wasn't this destroyed
in the Shrine of Zaude?

Maybe they made multiple copies.

That would make sense. Each of the
copies is a control key for the blastia
in its node of the network.

Then the blastia here is also...?

Yes... I thought it was strange!

I never saw how Barbos could control
this tower's blastia, as immense as it is,
with that crude imitation he had.

But if they had this one that
Alexei made, I can believe it.

Is it okay if we take that?

It could cause the aer supply
to stop working, and make the
tower stop functioning, but...

That's all right, right?

Sure, sure, no problem at all.
Take it, would ya, lad?

Take this?

So we're going to use the power that
released the Adephagos to defeat it.
I like the way that sounds.

All right.

Let's go!
