Kyros carried the power of a Crown and charged against two Crowns. And the two weren't ordinary Crowns. One was a god, and the other the strongest mage among the Eldrich.
But Kyros did not retreat. The power that he wielded surpassed his expectations. And somehow, he feels that there was something strange with the events. Lanthanou battled against retaining the memories of two gods, and Kyros received a huge power boost.
This wouldn't have happened by chance. And Kyros knew that this only happened because of his desperation. Kyros genuinely believed that he was trapped. And as he panicked and thought death would arrive, the enemy became confident and made moves.
But all that was a plot to force the enemy's hand and turn advantages into disadvantages. Kyros saw the suspicious evens and believed his reactions in the battle were part of some consideration.
