** Alex learns that the fate ''could'' be fought, but it is a ''very'' bad idea since the end of the world is part of the setting's natural cycle of destruction and renewal, and holding it back would spell dire consequences ''far'' worse than if the world is destroyed in these 'Cyclic Apocalypses'.

Even if holding it off forever is bad for the world, it would be in the world's interest for him to hold it off long enough to make sure no malicious force would mess with the process, and that he himself figure out how to do it right for the benefit of the next world.
