Apostasia

[Fallen Ruler of the Abyss]
After realizing the truth about the beginning and end of all things at the edge of Chaos, Ain abandons his mission and chose to embrace the Power of Chaos. A job that takes advantage of using awakened state of Henir in battle.

[Nichts Feld] While the skill is activated, magic projectiles are absorbed, and all resistance and attribute activation chance are increased. This skill is a strong counter to long-ranged classes when closing the distance.

[Gottvergessen Sense] Summon the weapon imbued with the Power of Chaos and release a powerful attack. When the skill is used during Henir (Awakening) state, it gains additional damage according to the enemies' max MP.

[Mauer] Fire a Shockwave to nearby areas and enter a state that reflects damages for a short duration. Use this skill strategically as it allows attack and defense at the same time.

[New Belief] Allows the use of skills more frequently. This Passive increase damage dealt to enemies and grants more Absorption by using skills.

[Moder] Leave a mark on your target and attack from behind by pressing the skill key again. Take advantage of the skill by performing a combo attack from the hind side.

[Chaos Feld] Inflict a [Bleed] effect by stabbing your foes with sharp thorns from the ground and sweep them with a chaotic storm. Using this skill during Henir State will also burn your enemies' mana.

[Befreiung Feld] Release Henir's power into the physical realm in a large area and decimate all your foes with dark El Energy. Using this skill during Henir State will cast an attack increase buff.

[Recreation] Become a presence that reaches the absolute power of chaos and become resolute like the eye of a storm. The potential power of Seed of Chaos is increased. Gained and consumed amount of [Power Gauge] is changed in proportion to the number of enemies.

Background

Ain carries on with the mission but as he continues to use his power, the chaos and the corruption further corrodes his body. Traces of Henir also emerge and become painfully obvious. He continues to suffer through the agony but only to continue his mission.

Ain heads to Feita to receive answers from the Goddess but upon arrival he was overwhelmed by the presence of demonic energy and the sheer number of demons surrounding the area. Ain is unshaken and charges to battle but comes face to face with the Dark El. He becomes consumed by the fully realized Seed of Chaos.

"The mission is for those who will eventually disappear, and I who was created for nothing more than that mission, mean nothing."

Ain ascends from the chaos completely abandoning the Goddess and the mission. He has embraced Henir's chaos and ultimately becomes the Ruler of the Abyss.

But Ain believed he must use everything in his arsenal to complete the mission. However, the longer he had to endure the pain, another thought started to invade his thoughts.

'Even the El that I thought was solely the Goddess's can be corrupted by demonic energy...' With his faith towards the Goddess shattered, nothing tied him down and Ain is completely swallowed by the large Seed of Chaos. There, he faced the core of chaos again. Covered in chaos, Ain no longer felt unstable from it. At the end where everything is mixed together and scatters in silence, Ain realizes that everything must return to nothing. The mission given by the Goddess was also for beings that will eventually turn to nothing. He, who was created for such mission, also had no meaning. Ain abandons the Goddess and the mission that he trusted, and accepts the chaos that's been eating away at him.

Trivia

• Apostasia is a Greek term for apostasy, which is the abandonment or renunciation of a religion.
• The initial for Apostasia is P instead of A to prevent confusion with Arme Thaumaturgy.
• Unlike Arme Thaumaturgy and Erbluhen Emotion whose hair color changes in response to his primary power, Apostasia's hair color still retains the dark shade from Lofty: Wanderer but does not change entirely.
• Upon advancing to Apostasia, both pupils will be dyed dark green and have a ring pattern, the lower-left bit of his face will start to be corrupted, his mouth becomes dark green, and his expression will be changed to a blank stare. In his Spiritualism mode, his pupils will change shape and become light blue, his sclera will be changed to dark blue. His character selection screen quote also changes. In addition, the cloak in his regular portrait does not appear in his Spiritualism mode models or portraits.
• Apostasia's portrait depicts him in his idle pose.
• The corruption of Henir on his arms, body, and legs are part of his promotional gloves, top piece, and bottom piece, respectively.
• Contrary to how Apostasia's Spiritualism model looks in-game, the circle on his chest is hollow, having the dark green coming from the back of his hair.
