Although Gwen guessed that his original choice might have been related to the legendary Finality Aeon, the End King, the Antimatter Legion coming knocking was indeed partly his responsibility.

While kneading the white-haired little ball with one hand, Cecilia raised an index finger with the other and gently wagged it as she spoke with a smile.
