Attack: Rain of sentient solar flames that sing as they burn.
Kael (mutating): Summons a barrier of screaming roots, then unleashes the Solar Thorn, piercing the Harvester's blazing core.

Noa vs. the Spring Harvester – "Bloom of the Void"
Bloom of the Void: Unleashes a jungle of temporal thorns that grow at accelerated speed, turning beings into budding statues.
Noa (seasonal fusion) unleashes "Crown of Chrono-Pollen" – an aura of memorial bees that extract the poison of past memories.

Exploding memories appear as gigantic illusions:
Adult Kairos burning down Éden-Zero.
Mother, endlessly begging for mercy.

Human casualties: 67, but 512 freed from vegetative states.

Kai-Vyr (chaotic fusion of Kairos/Vyrène):
Technique 1: "Total Torsion" – creates a time-loop bubble where the battle repeats endlessly.
Technique 2: "Eclipsium Bloom" – launches black-energy tendrils that consume genetic code.
Kael:
Counter-Technique 1: "Flower of the Impossible" – he roots himself into the ground, emitting spores that erase Eclipsium.
Final Technique: "Botanical Heresy" – his spine blooms into a bloodvine that impales Kai-Vyr.

10 km radius. The Nexus of Éden-Ultima is destroyed.
Casualties: 70,000.
