Quest 30

"[NAME]! The compact mass is ready, but it's dormant. I require some whispers to start an astral nuclear fusion. Mmm. You've heard this before, as well? After all this, what we have been through...

I assure you, you can truly trust me. Please. Take this last leap of faith with me. Let's return all the Cancri remnants to their rightful place. A sacrifice of a small few will save the lives of many. You're bound to get rid of some lions eventually. Let them die today as heroes."

(+1 residue!)

You have not fulfilled your task yet. 0/20 lions sacrificed.

To complete this quest, you must sacrifice a total of 20 lions to the Demiurge.

Must be between 0 months and 16 years
Must be on a 15 day breeding cooldown or lower
Must not be a broodmother
Must not be a custom lioness
Must not be dead
Must not be frozen/immortal

Must not be nursing cubs in a reverse breeding
Must not be offered as a raffle prize

Must not be on a patrol
Must not be protected by a broodmother

Once you have sacrificed 20 total lions, click the Status Report button.

You have 30/30 Residue

"Thank you. I will lead these lions to the crevice. It will be so quick, they won't feel a thing. Please, do not follow, as it may consume you, too. I need to release a lot of energy. This is it, [NAME]."

Wait.

Page 2

You wait nervously, observing the flashes of light striking the crevice in a burst of flickers. A thunder-like rumble shakes the earth, making you worry that something may have went wrong. This does not sound like a tiny vacuum.

A large geyser of yellow light bursts out of the ground with a high-pitched hiss, reminding you of boiling meat. You notice the Demiurge crawling between rocks towards you, wheezing from pain. His fur is burnt, and the boiled skin on his face is wrapped tightly against his glowing skull, looking like an outline of death. Indescribable fear clenches your gut.

"[NAME]! The Cancer... it's materialising! It used all of my energy... [NAME]... please... kill it before it's fully formed!"

If you're willing to turn some of your shiny silver beetles into energy, the Demiurge will transfer his regenerating powers to assist you in battle. Every time you miss during the epic battle, the Demiurge will heal you for 25 HP. This purchase is permanent and will stay on your account regardless of how many times you lose and must retry the battle.

Fight for your Life!

Recruit Demiurge to Help! (1000 SB)

Page 3

This is now the final part of the Journey to Vredefort Crater quest.
You have the option to do a one-time payment of 1000 SB to recruit the Demiurge to help you in battle. Even if you lose, the payment is a permanent unlock and the Demiurge will help you until the final battle is won.

It is advised not to spend SB on this as you will not miss attacks much during the battle. Failing to use the Grab move on The Cancer does not count as a miss, so the Demiurge will not heal you in that event.

Recruit Demiurge to Help! (1000 SB)

Are you sure you want to spend 1000 SB to recruit Demiurge to help you in the battle?

Demiurge will help you in the battle! Every time you miss, he will heal you by 25 HP.

You must now defeat the incredibly powerful NPC, The Cancer. The Cancer has a special Pinch attack that will drain you by 25 to 29 damage per pinch.

You can safely Rest and regain some HP without worrying about The Cancer ambushing you.

Lucky Feet cannot be used to auto-win this battle.

You will likely lose this battle quite a few times before you finally succeed.

If you lose, you will be presented with the following screen.

"The Cancer pins you to the ground and starts to consume your whisper by impaling you with its pincers. The dying Demiurge explodes with energy, warping you into spacetime to go back to the moment before the black hole consumed lion whispers. You have another chance now, in the asymmetry of time."

Clicking Return to Story? will bring you back to the Demiurge, who took you back in time to the moment before you sacrificed 20 lions to the cause.

The lions that you have previously sacrificed are permanently gone and no longer count towards this quest—you will have to sacrifice 20 new lions.

It is advised that you purchase karma fodder trades full of basic NCLs as a "cheap, easy, and fast" way to get through the sacrifical part of the quest and back into battle.

When you're back in battle, try to Grab and Pound The Cancer to stun it.

Once The Cancer has been defeated, you will be crowned victorious and prompted to Return to Story?

You pound the Cancer deity down into the ground. The Demiurge leaps into the air above the crevice, turning into a mystic being of light, weaving in and out of phasing lion shapes like the ghost of a comet. This must be a true galactic designer at work.

The Cancer's body crumbles beneath your feet as it's sucked into a small ball of light. Long, glowing threads dance around the twirling ball of light, reminding you of spider web silk strands being spun in the wind. The threads expand into the sky, trembling with power. Now THAT looks like it's working.

Observe.

Page 4

The ball hovers in the air, siphoning residue from the planet. The Demiurge descends back down to you, now in an ethereal, yet still dwarf-like, form.

"Without your help, and without the kindness as well as sacrifices of others, this planet would be lost. You truly deserve your reward. Not only is your gift an Interstellar Remnant, a material gift from me, but it is also the gift of a peaceful world, given by your own paws to your future cubs. I shall make a special kingdom just for you, once your whisper arrives to its homeworld. You deserve it."

Thank you.

Page 5

The Demiurge ascends up once more to touch the humming orb, now a singular mass without its angelic webs of energy. A flash of light blinds you for a moment. The energy implodes and consumes all sound with a silent "pop", almost like it collapsed into a nonexistent state.

Where once there was a swirling void of ethereal light, there is nothing more but the deafening silence of yet another average day. A quiet thud in front of you catches you off-guard. Before you lies a glistening object, left behind in this point of space and time.

Take it!

Page 6

You got Interstellar Remnants and the Interstellar title!

You take a deep breath and smell the air around you. There are no remnants left to find here. You imagine the Demiurge hard at work this very moment, building you a cool, galactic den of epic proportions with his short paws. You smile wistfully at the sky. One friend has departed, but you've made another here on Earth, who is just as elusive as the remnants.

You have completed this epic quest!

This ends Day 20 and the Journey to Vredefort Crater quest as a whole.

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of an Interstellar Remnants applicator, as well as the Interstellar title for your pride leader.

Now that you have completed the Journey to Vredefort Crater quest, you can never take it again on the account that has completed it.

You can take the quest on both of the accounts you are permitted to own on Lioden.
Completing the quest on one will not prevent you from completing it on the other.
Completing the quest will also not stop you from finding Interstellar Remnants as a very rare drop in Explore.
