For the final phase of the battle against Pallas, the heavily misguided goblin transforms into his Angel of Death form. Now being about twenty meters tall, easily breaking the ceiling of the room in his spaceship where this is taking place now. His general goblin-like appeareance remains, though the markings on his arms now have a zigzag shape to them and are on his legs and ears too. A red glowing cross sign has appeared on his chest. Similarly, all the red markings are glowing too, as well as his eyes which are now lacking pupils while the eyes also went from an amount of two to four. A red glowing halo hovers above his head and he has six wings which aren't as skeletal in nature anymore now. Hovering on each side of him, to the left and to the right, are some kind of golden wheels the size of him which are covered with eyes.
"Coeus...", Pallas says before beginning his attacks, "I'm... sorry..." "Why'd you say that specifically to me?", the Rosy Maple Moth wonders so that the Angel of Death now goes on: "If it weren't for me... Dione would still be alive..." "What... What do you mean?...", Coeus wants the enemy to clarify who then explains: "... I put the curse on her. I'm not gonna let any of you get out of this alive anymore so... I might as well confess. I managed to track down a murderer... wanted to stop his actions... but Dione, not knowing or wanting to believe me about that guy's actions, got in my way, protecting that horrible life taking person... I... I got angry... I didn't... think things through and... out of rage about him getting away because of her... I put that curse on her so she wouldn't intervene again... A powerful curse, since it takes away from my own power, which is why I prefer not to use it at all... and... I feel horrible about it...", the Angel of Death then thinking of one of the three Shiny Houndour among the group of Earthian travellers here, "Having to hurt Bone Eater, that sweet silly girl, only reminded me more at what I've done... and... quite honestly... I hate myself for it..."
"Pallas...", Coeus realizes just what this guy just told him. This person is directly responsible for Dione's suffering and with that, indirectly responsible for her death in the end. But... against all expectations, Coeus tells him: "It's okay. We all make mistakes, don't we?... I... I should hate you for this... or despise you... but... let's face it, Dione wouldn't want that. She'd want everyone to get along in the end." "Well...", Pallas responds to this, "I'm afraid I can't let that kind of ending happen... You're all in my way of making the universe as peaceful as it could possibly be. I... can't let me having to hurt Bone Eater be in vain! This... is my Angel of Death form. And I will now demonstrate why it has this name. I'm sorry."

To prevent the group from easily destroying the Time Crystals in the machine, Pallas absorbs them, thinking they can't destroy them since they'd have to get past just how powerful he is in his Angel of Death form for that. However, the group of good guys manage to get through to him by reminding him of what they have seen during this adventure, making it clear to him that what he saw while tracking down each of the Time Crystals wasn't people just suffering in one way or another, it was people living despite suffering. With each memory they use for that purpose, they get the chance to destroy one of the Time Crystals, all the way until Pallas has fully understood how wrong his actions really were, once all six Time Crystals got destroyed this way.

And after the  blue eyed Shiny Houndour named Kokkaku brings up how Pallas was afraid that Bone Eater wouldn't want to be friends with him because deep inside, Pallas knew that something about his approach couldn't be right, Pallas is just being quiet in response to this being pointed out to him. "We're... all just wanting to live and if however possible enjoy life.", Kokkaku continues some more, "Please... don't keep us from that. The... The Time Crystals are all destroyed now. Bone Eater is safe now. All could be well. You're... the only person who needs to accept the Happy Ending being this way now. To accept people... living their lives. Stopping time isn't a solution because it takes away everything, not only the suffering... Let people live, Pallas. Because... I think... not being able to live your life is worse than dying. So... what kind of person would you be by wanting to stop the lives of everyone, hm?... And you know... you don't have to be this way... Coeus and I already said it but... I think we're all willing to forgive if you leave your misguided path now."
"I...", Pallas can't even get a full sentence out right away, simply looking down and turning back into his smaller less threatening looking default form. Then he says: "I... I think I need to think about some things..."

Part 2 - Birth

The living spaceship named Aisha along with three people inside land on Tartarus where a confrontation between the villainous four members of Team Infamy and the queen of Tartarus named Styx is taking place. "Hah, they're too late now.", Exo, a skeletal looking Beedrill among Team Infamy, remarks. Once the Cinccino with the way oversized tail, the Whimsicott and the white Cranidos get out of Aisha and to them, they already see how trying to attack Team Infamy now would be a bad idea with them holding someone hostage, that hostage being a Dragapult named Atlas who notably lacks any Dreepy in his look. "Styx...", Atlas does understand, "This is about something big, right? If Team Infamy succeeds... a lot of people are gonna be in danger, right? Isn't... Isn't the loss of me worth the safety of so many more people?..." "Atlas, no.", Styx refuses to sacrifice him for the greater good, "I've caused harm to you before, I can not do so again. We'll... just have to hope that Cronus himself would be stopped before he gains full control over the universe..."
"N0t exactly great 0dds f0r that, hehe...", B1nary, a digital looking white Celebi of Team Infamy, brings up, "Way back then, wh0 was 1t wh0 managed t0 l0ck Cr0nus away aga1n, and 0nly barely, st1ll r1sk1ng the1r l1ves greatly f0r it? And what's w1th th0se 1nd1v1duals n0wadays? Yeah, 1've d0ne my h0mew0rk. Zeus ended up gett1ng c0rrupted by h1s 0wn eg0man1a and arr0gance. P0se1d0n g0t k1lled by Zeus. Hades clearly dec1ded t0 n0t get 1nv0lved aga1n. And even the three 0f them needed add1t10nal help. There 1s l1terally n0 way f0r Cr0nus t0 be st0pped a sec0nd t1me, w1th the 0nly pe0ple wh0 were even capable 0f d01ng s0 be1ng e1ther unkn0wn, c0rrupted, dead 0r went 1nt0 h1d1ng... 0r wherever Hades 1s n0w. Y0u ser10usly have n0 g00d reas0n t0 be opt1m1st1c n0w, queen." "Well...", Styx simply replies, "We gotta at least hope, you know?" "Styx!", Atlas insists, "You can't spare my life when a threat this big is coming then!" "Yes, I can.", Styx replies with a strict voice, "You're gonna survive. That's an order." Atlas can't even be mad at her for this, as he acknowledges this being because of how much she cares about him.

And so, not much later, on Planet Othrys as Styx revealed Cronus to be locked inside of that planet, Exo shows himself looking forward to this: "Soon, chaos will ensue! Casualties will happen! The universe... will experience terror like what we had to go through!" "Hell yes.", the blood and wound covered Shiny Eevee of Team Infamy named Bloody Mary grins evilly, "Come on, B1nary. Free him. Unleash the unstoppable threat. Release Cronus." B1nary nods, using the key from Tartarus on the pedestal which causes a light beam to come out of that pedestal, shooting out of the planet's atmosphere but stopping at one point when it's far enough and it then seems like the energy Cronus is made out of travels through that light beam in order to then start manifesting at the other end of it.

(Now playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7meCXhdIJCA)
Once Cronus has fully manifested, the light beam stops, with him now being just barely far away enough for the characters to be able to tell how massive he is. "Welcome back...", Bloody Mary states with a grin, "Cronus."
Cronus is absolutely gigantic, even in comparison to the "only" one hundred meter tall hornet queen Styx. This planet-sized being resembles a mix of dragons and felines appeareance-wise, with fur covering his enormous body. His body is transparent, though it gives off a soft glow that makes the details of it still easy to see. He got a pair of feline ears as well as a pair of antennas of which the tips look like small planets with rings. Sharp claws are coming out of his paws and his belly has a scale pattern suitable for a dragon. His eyes or at least the front of it are the only non-transparent part of his body, being a red color. There is a big scar across his face. He got a ring like of a planet hovering around his torso and he has a pair of wings which give off a nebula-like appeareance. Without his tail, his size is already at about 125000 kilometers which is about ten times as big as the entirety of Planet Earth or about as big as Planet Saturn. But then there's also his dragon-like tail with three rings attached to it before the tail's tip and spikes along the entirety of the tail. That tail is about 250000 kilometers long, twice as long as the rest of his body, making his complete body length 375000 kilometers big, about thirty times as big as Earth or almost three times as big as Jupiter. "Such a twist.", Cronus states with a very powerful sounding voice, "The self-proclaimed good guys lost."

Themis the Angel Zorua, Uranus the Angel Zoroark, Gaia the Dachsbun and four more people seem to reach the end of the Empyrean Layer of Heaven, but... there is no Puruel - a major antagonist for this group - or anything else of significance in sight. Despite the Layer ending here, Gaia notes: "We're not quite at the end of our journey yet." After a bit of a pause, the Dachsbun then reveals that this eleventh Layer wasn't the last: "There's... twelve Layers, actually. There is another portal to go through, one that's currently inaccessible because of a barrier in the way." That makes her husband Uranus ask her: "Then what are we supposed to do?" She pauses again. Then she lets them know: "This... This is the actual reason I came along. The only way for the now six of you to get to where Lucy is... is for someone's soul to be sacrificed... and only something as powerful as a willing soul sacrifice could break through whatever kind of barrier is keeping you from getting further. Team Infamy... they released a massive threat... all just to further their goal of infamy across the universe... a threat who was sealed away for a long time and for good reason... Cronus. The biggest titan. Cronus is powerful and large enough to wipe out an entire solar system with ease... and he's not even at full power with those capabilities... at least not yet. Your girlfriend, Themis... Lucy... She might be the only one powerful enough to stop Cronus before he gets what he needs to become even more powerful, at which point... he'd be unstoppable since... those who locked him away in the first place can't do so again due to Zeus being corrupted, Poseidon being dead and Hades not really showing himself anymore."
So Gaia, even though she learned to appreciate Themis and Uranus as her family now, her daughter and her husband, does what needs to be done, after a difficult farewell, but there is so much more at stake after all. And with the sacrifice of Gaia's soul, the group can continue their journey, even though it's not easy to continue after this loss.

Bloody Mary's evil team, Team Infamy, now lets Pallas's friend Coeus free due to him no longer being required as a hostage for Cronus to get his hands on the Holy Lance, something Pallas knew the location of. Coeus jokingly offers to Pallas afterwards: "We should do some lewd stuff to lighten the mood.", to which Pallas points out: "I'm an aromantic asexual and you know that.", so that the anthropomorphic Rosy Maple Moth named Coeus clarifies: "I knoooow. It was just a joke." Pallas does appreciate the attempt of lighting up the mood though, even if it ultimately makes no difference.
With the Holy Lance then, Cronus can and does open a portal to Heaven where Arceus is opposing the biggest titan immediately, though Cronus isn't impressed, just responding to the creator of the universe how people will have to die, for what Cronus considers the greater good, with Cronus explaining his apparent lack of empathy: "You're just words on a digital page." Though Arceus isn't able to perceive the fourth wall, like most other people in this universe, telling the literally massive threat right in front of him: "No matter how you perceive it... what we feel, how we care, it's a real thing, no matter if we can understand the true nature of our reality or not. We think, we breathe, we strive. We live. Just like you." "Heh, do I live, really?", the planet-sized titan replies, "Or am I just written that way? Well, I suppose it'll show soon enough... Either way, I will not back down. I will not show mercy. So... will you continue being in my way, Arceus?"
"... Yes.", Arceus states in a determined manner, "I... can not let you cause any more damage, especially not to whatever scale you have planned with Heaven. I must stand in your way... because as the creator of the universe, as the one who should care the most about every individual in it... it is simply my responsibility. So I will not get out of your way, no matter what. And I'm asking you to leave... not as a God but... as a fellow person." Cronus just laughs. But Arceus stays in his way, not letting him proceed. "I... am capable of killing Gods like you with ease...", Cronus remarks, "It is very unwise of you to stay in my way." "But it is the right thing.", Arceus acknowledges. So then the gigantic titan says: "Fair enough...", before instantly destroying the Mythical Pokémon with an insanely powerful energy beam. Arceus is killed by him, something Cronus really is powerful enough to do.

(Now playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lsUg-DiDEg)
Everyone in the whole universe can feel Arceus's death. He was its creator after all. Everyone is hit with the realization that his life just ended and how quickly and yet brutally that did happen. Everyone across all dimensions of this universe, Heaven and Hell included, everyone across all galaxies, across all galaxy clusters of the universe, every living thing, big or small, intelligent or not so much, they all know right away. And not a single soul finds themselves incapable of feeling how bad this is. Even Team Infamy briefly get the feeling that they indirectly caused something truly awful, though they just take it as proof that they will be infamous for it. Everyone in Elysium who just witnessed the universe creator's death is still in a mix of both shock and sadness. And not even the very powerful Lucy the Half Demon Shiny Eevee can just revive Arceus. Especially not because it's someone as powerful as Cronus killing him. A feeling of something very wrong happening spreads across the universe.
Themis immediately understands that this is the threat Lucy had to be alive for, this is why Gaia sacrificed herself. She lets her girlfriend know about the sacrifice too, for Lucy to know that she is potentially the only one capable of stopping Cronus before Cronus destroys Heaven and grows too powerful to be stopped at all as a result. "Yeah, sounds about right.", Lucy notes considering what they just witnessed, "Alright, I've opposed Nightmare before, this gotta be eaaasy in comparison." "Still.", the Angel Zorua urges her, "Don't hold back. Gaia... my mother... sacrificed herself for you to be able to fight against him after all..." "Don't worry, sweetie.", Lucy assures her, "I'm not gonna underestimate this guy." "Hehehe...", Cronus remarks, "A little half demon thinks she is enough to stop me from destroying Heaven? I know you're the most powerful demon in this universe but... believe me, not even that will be enough." Lucy still already intends to make use of her full power in the fight against Cronus now.

(Now playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1tr246B0Jc)
But even though she doesn't hold back whatsoever, she ultimately can't manage to win against Cronus, who is just too powerful even for her. So in the end, she outright begs him: "Please don't be like this...", though he just grins, knowing he is winning, and telling her: "Guess what, Lucy... Gaia's sacrifice... will be in vain." Lucy, the only one powerful enough to stop him, has failed, despite trying everything she possibly could.
Cronus doesn't see a reason to monologue after winning this fight and instead gets the Holy Lance ready right away. Themis shouts in a final act of desperation: "No, don't!" But he stabs it into the ground, which causes cracks to appear throughout Heaven's twelve Layers. He pushes it in deeper, the Holy Lance breaks, and the destruction becomes irreversible as Heaven now begins to break apart into many pieces. Everyone immediately tries to get to safety but... no place in Heaven is still safe as it falls apart in a matter of minutes.
Only a few minutes after the destruction of Heaven started, the tragedy has already happened. So quickly that it's all the more unfair to the many, many people who just lost their lives, who didn't even get a chance to accept their immediately arriving deaths. Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, the Lake Guardians and also Lucy, Themis and Uranus are among those who manage to escape, with only hundreds -comparatively very, very few - of angels and dozens of demons who also managed to escape along with the characters I just listed.

(Now playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9ZZc-DWBFY)
"Lucy...", Themis says, still processing what just happened, "Y-You can... You can revive people, right? You can fix this, right?" "I couldn't even revice Arceus...", Lucy lets her know, "Cronus is... too powerful... I can't fix what he destroys... I'm sorry... Whatever death and damage he causes... it's irreversible...", with Alastair the Azelf among them realizing: "And now he is about to get even more powerful... Yeah, needless to say, this is very bad." "How many...", the Angel Zorua then asks, "How many... casualties... did he just cause?..." Yannick the Uxie can actually tell her that, though he does so with hesitation: "... Billions, easily... considering how many people were in Heaven in total..."
The destruction of Heaven gives Cronus access to a huge amount of angel energy which turns out to have kept the dimension together the way it was, essentially functioning as the glue that kept all the Layers together, and with the individual Layers gone, that "glue" is all that's left. Cronus takes the huge amount of angel energy he can now gain and then states: "Hehe, that was easy... Now I only need such a large amount of demon energy as well."
And he gets that with ease, originally intending to destroy Hell to obtain it, but the parents of Lucy manage to find an alternative via the convertible corrupted angel energy stored beneath Pecado Town on Earth.
So after destroying that town and getting the corrupted angel energy that was stored below it, the planet-sized antagonist is then converting it into demon energy, stating as he gets it: "Hehe... now I just need to combine the angel energy and demon energy.", to which Lucy's biological mother Naughty points out: "That's impossible. Well, unless under extremely specific circumstances like it was the case with Nightmare...", though Cronus remarks: "You underestimate just how powerful I already am.", which makes it all the more threatening when he then uses his psychic powers to successfully mix the two types of energy into one before absorbing it all, becoming even more powerful that way. Considering how Lucy already lost against him before this, it's scary to imagine what this big increase in power for Cronus means now.
