Paging god

After a long series of fights, ranging from average robots to giant centaur mechs, the party comes across Cid in the middle of the ark and he explains why he was really helping them. Turns out that he has the brand of the beings that control the government and his mission was to ensure the group managed to fulfill their mission of destroying the world.

The plan of the beings is that in order to get the attention of the creator of humans and the beings, they planed to kill a huge number of humans. So the world that everyone was living on is basically a container to breed and contain as many humans as possible, then at the right time kill them all as a tribute to the creator. Since the being running the place can't destroy it themselves, the brand humans and give them magical powers to do their dirty work.

Cid finally comes to the decision that this plan is insane and he wasn't to stop it, and the best way to do that is to kill the party. After a rather hard battle he's finally defeated and then he turns into crystal, which is odd since he was going against his mission, then evaporates.

After that it's much more robot fighting, now with some beasts thrown in the mix.
