Peach and Bootler look at the now completely engulfed New Donk City, now completely turned into a wasteland of red dust and archetype, with kaiju like Meganula and Megaguirus spotted flying through the dust.

Bootler: It's like the world is on fire.....


Peach: You know, the Ancient Greek stoics believed that the world gets destroyed in a great fire. You know why it happens? Some believed the god of the universe itself wanted to erase all evidence of his hand in creating mankind, but the reality is that they prevented the gods from getting bigger than the universe, and were left with no choice but to start all over. You could compare that to Godzilla. A god becoming bigger to change the world.....



Goombella and the others manage to get into where Gabara appeared the first time, but no longer engulfed in red dust. It was empty....no red dust, nor singular point in the form of a giant green ogre to produce it. It was empty of Archetype, except for some crystals and soot.


Tippi: What's with the soot?


Smg3: It's for the lamp. See, the larvae went into a cocoon, and eventually was put into what would later be our magical lamp.


Merlon: 50 years ago, SHIVA was tested here. The test failed, and this is the result of a combinatorial explosion.


Goombella: Wait, a simple calculation caused an explosion?


Smg3: Indeed.


Beep-o: An explosive increase in combinatorics due to the problem's growth in complexity.


Merlon: Correct, my robotic friend. Massive amounts of calculations were repeated and compressed. It's like we saw the rebirth of Matarisvan.


Tippi: Isn't that the god of fire?


Merlon: Hmm. Good catch, Tippi. It's also known as Agni.


Goombella: God of fire? Like Kagutsuchi? He was a well known Japanese god whose mother died from a burn injury at birth.


Merlon: I see. Anyway, a research committee was formed, but it got nowhere. The super calculator was sealed, and 20 years passed. At that time, Merlee became obsessed with Ashihara's work, that I felt concerned. She told me she wanted to be like Ashihara. I thought she was joking, but then she begun joint research with Kammy and Bestovius. Eventually, Merlee broke the seal, and she discovered what Ashihara discovered: Archetype, the red dust, and the Orthogonal Diagnolizer, as well as the other phases. That was when she convinced Kammy to relaunch the lift up. And, that was 3 years before we had that....moment.
