You caress a hand against the cheek of the goddess, wiping away the tears that have stopped falling in your presence. Behind you, you know that the erasure of the last of Rhongomyniad's conceptual world is occurring, and you try to keep Rhongomyniad's attention focused on you as you rapidly work to infuse her with the concept of "Endlessness". The Spear of the End being granted the property of something without end, it should hopefully just be enough to revert the erasure of her being as a result of... whatever the hell it was that Manaka did to her.

You begin to infuse the concept into the woman, just as the erasure reaches you and Rhongomyniad. Nothing remains of the world but you, Rhongomyniad, and her throne. Hovering above an infinite void of nothingness are you and the goddess, a single misstep would serve to plunge you into the void below you, but... the erasure seems to have stopped, the world seems to have ceased to be erased as you apply to concept to Rhongomyniad, you feel a slight discomfort as you continue applying the concept to the woman, but you don't dare move your hand away.

The slight discomfort as you attempt to apply such a concept to the woman quickly intensifies into a light pain, and then further intensifies into a greater pain. The longer you caress the woman's face as you are, the more pain you feel through your body. But... it's worth it. You'll take any pain you have to in order to save this woman. This innocent goddess who merely wants to save the world, and to save humanity. You'll save her! You keep infusing the concept into the woman, who has now truly stopped crying as she looks up at you, raising a hand in order to caress your face just like you are caressing her face.

"You... you're my hero, the one I've waited for. The one who'll be able to save... everything." Rhongomyniad whispers quietly as you stare into her damp eyes, still moist with tears, she uses her sleeve to try to dry her eyes before looking at you again. "I'll never leave your side. I'll accept you as my one true wielder. I... the Goddess Rhongomyniad, pledge my Endless service to you." With that revelation, the concept that had been causing you a great deal of pain is fully applied to the woman, and the erasure is suddenly completely reversed, as almost like a pulse of golden light, the erased world is restored, the void is replaced by the stone floor that once existed in its place.
