During their adventure, they discover memory fragments scattered around the world, which help Leo piece together his past. He remembers that he was a talented engineer working on a powerful machine capable of manipulating reality, called the “Divine Mechanism”.
Part Two: The Truth About the Divine Mechanism
As they advance in their quest, the group discovers that the world is under threat from an evil entity known as Vam. Vam seeks to use the Divine Mechanism to plunge the world into chaos and seize ultimate power. Leo also remembers that his parents were killed by Vam, further motivating his determination to stop this threat.
The group eventually manages to locate the Divine Mechanism, but they discover that Vam is already activating it. In a desperate fight, they confront Vam, but the latter manages to merge with the Divine Mechanism, becoming an even more powerful entity.
Climax: The final battle
The final battle against Vam takes place in an alternate dimension created by the Divine Mechanism. Leo and his friends must use all their skills and courage to face Vam. Through the strength of their friendship and determination, they ultimately succeed in destroying Vam and deactivating the Divine Mechanism, preventing the destruction of the world.
Epilogue: A New Beginning
With the threat of Vam removed, the world begins to rebuild itself. Leo regains all his memories and decides to dedicate his life to repairing the damage caused by Vam and helping the people of the world find peace. Kina, Ez, Cheryl, and Leo's other companions choose to stay by his side, forming a new team dedicated to protecting and rebuilding the world.
