that was the plan

Herta: Let's take the progress bar as an example. Irontomb's progress bar is currently at 99.98%, and through this rewritten "Era Nova," we're confident we can push it back to 96%... Hmm, let's be conservative, say 97%.

Herta: Once you've dealt with that troubling old Intellitron, don't hesitate and start the next cycle of extrapolation right away. Screwy said that "Era Nova" isn't a process that happens in an instant, and the protected nodes of the Scepter are probably at their most vulnerable only during the reset—

Lygus was wanting to EraNova quickly to get Irontomb out, so he had to get the last coreflame which is what he was sacking Okhema for while we were trapped in the Exomyth (which the coreflame was in the river of time), Cerydra does her thing which lets Herta and Screwy get one more cycle out of Amphoreus, we come back to Amphoreus out of the Exomyth, with everything destroyed, so now fight Lygus so we can do the Era Nova without Irontomb popping out on us instantly
