## Objective

Clash of Greed

Bartali III had placed his unwavering trust in me. According to our grand design, a massive altar was erected within the walls of Cron Castle. The plan was simple yet sinister: to offer the castle and all its inhabitants as living sacrifices to summon my god. If successful, my mission would be complete. 

Before the eyes of Bartali III and countless others, I ignited the altar, and living souls were offered up in sacrifice. As the ritual commenced, the light of the heavens was snuffed out, and the Black Sun arose above the altar.

"My son, I am here." The voice of Hadum echoed, heard by all present.

Terrified by the unearthly spectacle, Bartali III screamed at me to cease immediately, commanding his soldiers to destroy the altar. And then it happened. As the tip of a soldier's spear touched the Black Sun... a colossal explosion erupted. The explosion consumed everything and everyone in its vicinity, leaving nothing but ashes in its wake.
