But by using an artifact from Oldwalls he decided prepare humanity to disaster by coming back in past and build an Empire strong enough and a Kyros strong enough. But this is the 100th loop, he will try stop the ancient and if he fails the young Kyros will go back in past and try again. Then Fatebinder watches his future himself do a gigantic battle and lost, then Fatebinder use the time artifact and it's end of Tyranny 2.
