He made a deal with a [[Reaper]] that transformed him into a Demon, and waged a century-long war against mankind known as the [[Black Crusade]], which nearly wiped out the human race from Arad over 600 years ago. He is responsible for the creation of the [[Imposter]]s, the [[Curse of Blood]], and the [[God of Destruction]], the decline and fall of the Pell Los Empire, and the recent appearance of Demons on the Arad Continent as well as the indirect creation of the [[Priest Order]], the [[Black Order]], the [[Khazan Syndrome]], the [[Avenger]]s, and the [[Mistress Phenomenon]]. |

Renown for many feats, his greatest was saving the Arad Continent with his friend [[Great General Khazan]] from the [[Dragon]] invasion led by the [[Berserk Dragon Hismar]]. However, after the then [[Pahlmerier I|Pell Los Emperor]] framed him and Khazan for treason and sentenced them to death in an act of fear and jealousy, Ozma sold his own soul to a Reaper in exchange for the power to enact his revenge and to cleanse the world of the sins of humanity. After his execution, Ozma resurrected from death as a Demon, and with his newfound powers as the 'God of Chaos', he unleashed a plague upon the land which plunged Arad into an Age of Chaos and mustered a Demon army to eradicate mankind. During his conquest, he waged war against mankind's last alliance led by [[Michaela of the Holy Eye]], which consisted of the forces of Pell Los, [[Suju]], and the Priest Order, who ultimately defeated him and sealed him away along with his army and the entirety of Dark Side within another dimension. |
Although, Ozma remains sealed for now, his presence still lingers: Imposters continue to roam the continent and signs of his seal weakening and of his resurrection become more evident with every subsequent [[Metastasis]] as increasingly more Demons arrive from the other world. It seems while trapped, Ozma still continues his campaign to eradicate mankind, readying a new army of Imposters to wage another Crusade against Arad when he escapes from his dimensional prison. | Although, Ozma remains sealed for now, his presence still lingers: Imposters continue to roam the continent and signs of his seal weakening and of his resurrection become more evident with every subsequent [[Metastasis]] as increasingly more Demons arrive from the other world.

He searched for his old friend Khazan, and eventually found the exiled, disgraced general wandering aimlessly in the Stru Mountains barely clinging to life. Acknowledging their past friendship, Ozma released Khazan from his human form, transforming him into a [[Ghost]], and offered him an opportunity to join his cause. But Khazan, having given up on humanity, refused his offer and the two parted ways. Khazan became the God of Destruction wandering aimlessly around the Arad Continent spreading his [[Khazan Syndrome]] while Ozma became the God of Chaos spreading his [[Curse of Blood]] and continued his pursuit to create his demon army to wipe out humanity. |
Through Ozma's efforts, creatures known as [[Imposter]]s began showing up in Arad. These beings were former humans who fell victim to the Curse of Blood and were monsters that disguised themselves as humans with an insatiable bloodlust. Those who were attacked by Imposters also became Imposters. Because the Imposters were not distinguishable from normal people by the way they look, it created mistrust and witch hunts within the populace; descending the continent of Arad into chaos. Around Arad Year 211, a group of individuals known as [[priest|priests]] began combating the growing number of Imposters and would eventually grow into a major organization. However, during these years, Ozma kept himself hidden as he amassed his army. It wouldn't be until Arad Year 252 when Ozma finally reappeared to lead his Imposter Legion and declare war on mankind. | Through Ozma's efforts, creatures known as [[Imposter]]s began showing up in Arad.

But although Ozma had failed in his campaign to destroy humankind, he succeeded in getting revenge against his perpetrators and led to the fall and destruction of the once great Pell Los Empire. |

− | ==== Ozma Raid | + | <small>'''Note:''' Following the [[Origin Update]], the [[Black Crusade (Dungeon)|Black Crusade]] dungeon was removed from the Time Gate storyline. This revision removed the revelation that the [[Priest Order]] was not responsible for sealing away Ozma. Rather, it was the handiwork of a mysterious, powerful mage who could control Interdimensional Rifts. Additionally, the storyline of [[Once More Into the Breach]] became inaccessible, but the events still took place in the plot. However, in this iteration, Ozma did not die. Rather, according to his entry on [[DFU]], he was rescued and taken away by [[Khazan]] at the last moment. From then on, it was perceived that Ozma had been sealed away by Khazan.</small> |
+ | |||
+ | During the [[Season 6 Act 1. ASCENSION Update]], it was revealed that a sect of the [[Grim Seekers]] led by [[Prophet Ezra]] sought to protect or resurrect the remaining Apostles in an attempt to defy the prophecy of [[New Genesis]]. One of these Apostles was Ozma. The organization dispatched two of its branch leaders, [[Rosenberg, the Gray]] and [[Mandarin, the White Flower]], to the former battleground of Dark Side, [[Los Chest]], to conduct a ritual to resurrect Khazan and weaken Ozma's seal. Although they were unsuccessful in reviving Khazan, it weakened Khazan's grasp on Ozma, and it created the opportunity for another organization, the [[Black Order]], to fulfill this task. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Realizing that an ordinary human vessel could not contain the God of Extinction, the Black Order sought out the corpse of Khazan, which was hidden away as a relic, known as the [[Coffin of Extinction]], by the [[Usir Order]] in the [[Fortress of Nemesis]] within [[the Exile Mountains]]. There, the Black Order unleashed an assault led by one of its three highest members, [[Devastar, the Pure]], and successfully located the fortress and retrieved the Coffin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Black Purgatory Revision ==== | ||
+ | In the original story version, the Three Dark Knights, [[Astaroth]], [[Berias]], and [[Tiamat]], were sealed alongside Ozma in the Otherverse. However, the [[Black Purgatory Update]] revised this plot point, now claiming that the Dark Knights had been sealed away in [[Los Chest]] by the [[Holy Five]], with the exception of Astaroth. In order to break the seal on the Dark Side, the Black Order needed to recapture Los Chest and resurrect the Dark Knights with their respective [[Pure]] successor. But although the Empire, Priest Order, and Usir Order attempted to intervene, they were too late. With the Dark Knights assembled, the Black Order entered the Dark Side with the Coffin in hand, ready to awaken their master. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Ozma Raid Revision ==== | ||
+ | <small>'''Note:''' Prior to the [[Ozma Raid Update]], DFU released a three-part story series called [https://www.dnf-universe.com/story/padgYqMegw0k ''The Light That Chained the Darkness'']. The series details the events that transpired during the final battle of the Black Crusade, focusing on the fall of [[Elerinon]], the battle of Dark Side, and the aftermath of the war. At the same time, it revised certain plot points. Firstly, it recontextualized the location of Dark Side. Originally, a demon stronghold in a barren wasteland, it was now the former Pell Los city Elerinon Castle. Secondly, the story filled in the plot hole that was created with the removal of the Black Crusade Dungeon. The one who sealed away Ozma was no longer the mysterious hooded mage, but now Michaela, who sealed away both the Castle with Ozma in it and the Dark Side respectively in a pocket dimension. Thirdly, it de-canonized the events that transpired during [[Once More Into the Breach]]. Additionally, it recontextualized Khazan's seal on Ozma. It was now a seal that utilized the Chains of Extinction and the powers of the [[Netherworld]] to restrain Ozma from breaking out of Michaela's seal. Finally, it changed Michaela's revelation as an Apostle, unveiling that Ozma was ultimately responsible for revealing the truth of Michaela's identity to the world, the cause of the current schism within the Priest Order.</small> | ||
+ | |||
+ | According to the records of the Empire and [[Lemidia Chrysos]], Ozma was trapped inside three seals. Two seals were created by Michaela: the first sealed away Ellerinon Castle, and the second sealed away Dark Side within a pocket dimension. The last seal was created by Khazan, which placed Ozma within a deep slumber. With the seal containing Dark Side undone, the Dark Knights scattered to undo the ward surrounding the Castle while the Black Order resurrected Khazan. In response, the Priest Order, De Los Empire, and Usir Order allied forces, split into three divisions to pursue and stop them, led by [[Lucille Redmayne]], [[Judy Ringwood]], and [[Adras Teia]] respectively. But although they were able to dispose of the Dark Knights, they were too late to prevent the seal's undoing and Khazan's resurrection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With all the seals undone and Khazan's interference now gone, the resurrected God of Chaos watched in amusement from afar as his foes scrambled to storm the castle. Upon their arrival, he released a portion of his power and toyed with his enemies while remaining on his throne. Impressed by their vigor, Ozma unleashed his true power and released a burst of energy that caused all but one of his foes to falter, the "Refined Blade." Now in his true form, he and the Blade engaged in combat, until, ultimately, Ozma met his end. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Upon his defeat, Ozma unleashed a final burst of energy which destabilized the Dark Side as a voice bellowed in the wind: | ||
+ | |||
+ | : {| class="wikitable" | ||

I didn't care, even from the beginning.<br>I didn't care, so long as I could let my chaos, my anger, swallow the empire and destroy the rest of humanity.<br>The only thing I have left is revenge."</i></p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | : —— Ozma's final words</small> | ||
+ | |} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Legacy ==== | ||
+ | As the region crumbled and the gateway to the dimension began to close, the Allied Forces rushed to leave the Dark Side. Although the enemy was defeated and they were able to escape due to the sacrifice of [[Nilvas Gracia]], Ozma's legacy of Chaos still lingered. Imposters still roamed the land, and the Curse of Blood still remained. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the aftermath of the war, many of the participants fell victim to the effects of Ozma's curse, including the Empire's Crown Prince [[Van Frantz]]. Although attempts were made by [[Lemidia Basilica]] to alleviate the curse's effects, it was unable to prevent further tragedies from occurring. One such tragedy, the [[Tragedy in the Confessional]], led to an escalation of the sectarian conflict between the diocese. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After Ozma's demise, the Empire secretly attempted to absorb Ozma's Apostle energies as they escaped the closing rift. But just as Judy Ringwood was about to absorb the energy, she was interrupted by [[Midnight Black]], who sought to absorb the energy for himself to become the new god of chaos. However, he, too, was thwarted by a third party, Michaela of the Holy Eye, who sealed away Midnight Black and absorbed Ozma's Apostle energies to thwart the prophecy of [[New Genesis]]. However, Michaela was unable to purify Ozma's energies, and needed to seek extreme measures to purify them, which ultimately led to the events that transpired in the [[War of the Saints]]. | ||

In DNFM's version of Ozma Raid, he appears with three phase variations: an angelic version known as Ozma of Creation (Korean: 창조의 오즈마 Changjoe Ojeuma), an apocalyptic version known as Ozma of the End (Korean: 종말의 오즈마 Jongmare Ojeuma), and a nothingness version known as Ozma of the Void (Korean: 무의 오즈마 Mue Ojeuma).
Originally a hero of the Pell Los Empire from 800 years ago, he was betrayed and sentenced to death by the very people he swore to protect. He made a deal with a Reaper that transformed him into a Demon, and waged a century-long war against mankind known as the Black Crusade, which nearly wiped out the human race from Arad over 600 years ago. He is responsible for the creation of the Imposters, the Curse of Blood, and the God of Destruction, the decline and fall of the Pell Los Empire, and the recent appearance of Demons on the Arad Continent as well as the indirect creation of the Priest Order, the Black Order, the Khazan Syndrome, the Avengers, and the Mistress Phenomenon.
According to Aradian history, he was once a human known as the Great Mage Ozma, a magical prodigy who was raised by the Elves and was once regarded as the greatest mage in the Pell Los Empire. Renown for many feats, his greatest was saving the Arad Continent with his friend Great General Khazan from the Dragon invasion led by the Berserk Dragon Hismar. However, after the then Pell Los Emperor framed him and Khazan for treason and sentenced them to death in an act of fear and jealousy, Ozma sold his own soul to a Reaper in exchange for the power to enact his revenge and to cleanse the world of the sins of humanity. After his execution, Ozma resurrected from death as a Demon, and with his newfound powers as the 'God of Chaos', he unleashed a plague upon the land which plunged Arad into an Age of Chaos and mustered a Demon army to eradicate mankind. During his conquest, he waged war against mankind's last alliance led by Michaela of the Holy Eye, which consisted of the forces of Pell Los, Suju, and the Priest Order, who ultimately defeated him and sealed him away along with his army and the entirety of Dark Side within another dimension.
Although, Ozma remains sealed for now, his presence still lingers: Imposters continue to roam the continent and signs of his seal weakening and of his resurrection become more evident with every subsequent Metastasis as increasingly more Demons arrive from the other world. It seems while trapped, Ozma still continues his campaign to eradicate mankind, readying a new army of Imposters to wage another Crusade against Arad when he escapes from his dimensional prison.
Prior to the Great Metastasis Update, Ozma initially appeared as the final enemy of Dark Side during the Priest Order's investigation of the Otherverse in the Epic Quests Once More Into the Breach, where he was revealed to be the Eleventh Apostle (Korean: 제11사도 Je Sib-il Sado) of Pandemonium, also known as The One Who Rose from Death (Korean: 죽음에서 일어난 자 Jugeumeseo Ireonan Ja). However, after the Origin Update, this reveal was changed to an unspecified time after his imprisonment and prior to the canonization of Saint Michaela as an Apostle, and his reappearance would be at the finale of the Black Order Resurgence Arc.

History
More than 800 years prior to the events of the story, Ozma was once known as the greatest wizard in the Pell Los Empire. In Arad Year 152, he and his friend, Pell Los General Khazan, saved the world by killing the empire's scourge, the Berserk Dragon Hismar, ending its fifty-two-year long reign of terror. The two individuals were regarded as national heroes and their strength helped bring the Pell Los Empire to the peak of its power.
However, as years passed, the Pell Los Emperor Pahlmerier I grew paranoid and wary of their fame, believing that their power would eventually supplant his own and cause him to be overthrown. It was during this time, a mysterious hooded individual arrived, and informed the Emperor of a prophecy which foretold the eminent destruction of the empire. In an attempt to avoid the prophecy, the Emperor orchestrated a conspiracy to get rid of both Ozma and Khazan, but in doing so, sealed the Empire's fate.
In Arad Year 157, the Emperor framed Khazan for treason and sent Ozma to pursue him. While the two fought each other and became weakened, the Emperor sent another group of soldiers to capture and subdue them. The two individuals were both framed for treason, imprisoned, and tortured. The Empire stripped Khazan of his strength by removing the tendons in his arms and robbed Ozma of his sight by putting out his eyes. Additionally, Khazan and Ozma's families were to be executed with the exception of Ozma's fiancée Reeze who was taken as the Emperor's noble consort.
While imprisoned alongside Khazan and awaiting execution, Ozma felt great betrayal for his services to the Empire and became disgusted upon seeing how quickly and easily the people were swayed into believing the Emperor's conspiracy. His thoughts ventured down a dark path. Thoughts of revenge on those who wrong them clouded his mind until it descended and evolved into the eradication of humankind. He sought to bring to the world the same sense of betrayal he experienced and let chaos reign supreme. But he had no way to do so...
It was during this desperate hour that Ozma was granted a vision and was visited by an emissary of death, a Reaper, who promised him the power he desired in exchange for his soul. At first, Ozma, still clinging to a sense of righteousness, turned down its offer, and attempted to drive the Reaper away. But as time passed, his desperation and insanity grew. Upon his execution, as he was cast into the southern sea to die, the reaper appeared before him again and Ozma accepted its proposal. It was then, the once great wizard Ozma had died, and had given way to the newly resurrected God of Chaos.
One year later, Ozma initiated his plan and began assembling his army of darkness. He searched for his old friend Khazan, and eventually found the exiled, disgraced general wandering aimlessly in the Stru Mountains barely clinging to life. Acknowledging their past friendship, Ozma released Khazan from his human form, transforming him into a Ghost, and offered him an opportunity to join his cause. But Khazan, having given up on humanity, refused his offer and the two parted ways. Khazan became the God of Destruction wandering aimlessly around the Arad Continent spreading his Khazan Syndrome while Ozma became the God of Chaos spreading his Curse of Blood and continued his pursuit to create his demon army to wipe out humanity.
Through Ozma's efforts, creatures known as Imposters began showing up in Arad. These beings were former humans who fell victim to the Curse of Blood and were monsters that disguised themselves as humans with an insatiable bloodlust. Those who were attacked by Imposters also became Imposters. Because the Imposters were not distinguishable from normal people by the way they look, it created mistrust and witch hunts within the populace; descending the continent of Arad into chaos. Around Arad Year 211, a group of individuals known as priests began combating the growing number of Imposters and would eventually grow into a major organization. However, during these years, Ozma kept himself hidden as he amassed his army. It wouldn't be until Arad Year 252 when Ozma finally reappeared to lead his Imposter Legion and declare war on mankind.
One year later, Ozma and his Imposter Legion were challenged by a group now known as the Priest Order led by Michaela of the Holy Eye in an almost century-long struggle known as the Black Crusade. In Arad Year 347, Ozma's army became cornered in an area known as Dark Side, where he and his army were defeated and sealed in another dimension, ending the ninety-four-year war. But although Ozma had failed in his campaign to destroy humankind, he succeeded in getting revenge against his perpetrators and led to the fall and destruction of the once great Pell Los Empire.
While trapped, Ozma readied a new army of Imposters to wage another war upon Arad for when he would eventually escape from his dimensional prison. But he was not alone; trapped along with him was the Priest General, Michaela of the Holy Eye. The two individuals constantly clashed with one another for centuries, unable to kill each other.
Original Story Version
In Arad Year 993, the ongoing Metastasis phenomenon gradually eroded the boundaries between dimensions, causing the seal on his dimension prison to weaken. Taking advantage of this, Ozma began sending small portions of his army, Chaos Demons, through the Metastasis-created dimensional rifts back into Arad. As a result of the increased demon sightings across the continent, the Priest Order began a large-scale investigation of these rifts, believing it as a sign of Ozma's return.
Around Arad Year 1002, the Priest Order, while investigating the Chaos Demon phenomenon in a Interdimensional Rift left in Noire Ferra, discovered the demon stronghold Dark Side in the Otherverse. It was during this investigation, his longtime adversary, Michaela, had met his end to a group of adventurers exploring the rift. With now nothing holding him back, Ozma prepared his army for war. However, before he could leave his dimensional prison, he was stopped by the same group of adventurers. Although he was greatly weakened from his centuries long struggle with Michaela, Ozma fought against the adventurers, and he, too, met his inevitable end.
Although the Priest Order and the people of Arad celebrated the death of Ozma, heavy residual effects remained. The Imposters still remained. And in their blind pursuit to vanquish evil, they had caused the deaths of two more Apostles, bringing the prophecy of Arad's destruction closer to fruition.
Origin Version
Note: Following the Origin Update, the Black Crusade dungeon was removed from the Time Gate storyline. This revision removed the revelation that the Priest Order was not responsible for sealing away Ozma. Rather, it was the handiwork of a mysterious, powerful mage who could control Interdimensional Rifts. Additionally, the storyline of Once More Into the Breach became inaccessible, but the events still took place in the plot. However, in this iteration, Ozma did not die. Rather, according to his entry on DFU, he was rescued and taken away by Khazan at the last moment. From then on, it was perceived that Ozma had been sealed away by Khazan.
During the Season 6 Act 1. ASCENSION Update, it was revealed that a sect of the Grim Seekers led by Prophet Ezra sought to protect or resurrect the remaining Apostles in an attempt to defy the prophecy of New Genesis. One of these Apostles was Ozma. The organization dispatched two of its branch leaders, Rosenberg, the Gray and Mandarin, the White Flower, to the former battleground of Dark Side, Los Chest, to conduct a ritual to resurrect Khazan and weaken Ozma's seal. Although they were unsuccessful in reviving Khazan, it weakened Khazan's grasp on Ozma, and it created the opportunity for another organization, the Black Order, to fulfill this task.
Realizing that an ordinary human vessel could not contain the God of Extinction, the Black Order sought out the corpse of Khazan, which was hidden away as a relic, known as the Coffin of Extinction, by the Usir Order in the Fortress of Nemesis within the Exile Mountains. There, the Black Order unleashed an assault led by one of its three highest members, Devastar, the Pure, and successfully located the fortress and retrieved the Coffin.
Black Purgatory Revision
In the original story version, the Three Dark Knights, Astaroth, Berias, and Tiamat, were sealed alongside Ozma in the Otherverse. However, the Black Purgatory Update revised this plot point, now claiming that the Dark Knights had been sealed away in Los Chest by the Holy Five, with the exception of Astaroth. In order to break the seal on the Dark Side, the Black Order needed to recapture Los Chest and resurrect the Dark Knights with their respective Pure successor. But although the Empire, Priest Order, and Usir Order attempted to intervene, they were too late. With the Dark Knights assembled, the Black Order entered the Dark Side with the Coffin in hand, ready to awaken their master.
Ozma Raid Revision
Note: Prior to the Ozma Raid Update, DFU released a three-part story series called The Light That Chained the Darkness. The series details the events that transpired during the final battle of the Black Crusade, focusing on the fall of Elerinon, the battle of Dark Side, and the aftermath of the war. At the same time, it revised certain plot points. Firstly, it recontextualized the location of Dark Side. Originally, a demon stronghold in a barren wasteland, it was now the former Pell Los city Elerinon Castle. Secondly, the story filled in the plot hole that was created with the removal of the Black Crusade Dungeon. The one who sealed away Ozma was no longer the mysterious hooded mage, but now Michaela, who sealed away both the Castle with Ozma in it and the Dark Side respectively in a pocket dimension. Thirdly, it de-canonized the events that transpired during Once More Into the Breach. Additionally, it recontextualized Khazan's seal on Ozma. It was now a seal that utilized the Chains of Extinction and the powers of the Netherworld to restrain Ozma from breaking out of Michaela's seal. Finally, it changed Michaela's revelation as an Apostle, unveiling that Ozma was ultimately responsible for revealing the truth of Michaela's identity to the world, the cause of the current schism within the Priest Order.
According to the records of the Empire and Lemidia Chrysos, Ozma was trapped inside three seals. Two seals were created by Michaela: the first sealed away Ellerinon Castle, and the second sealed away Dark Side within a pocket dimension. The last seal was created by Khazan, which placed Ozma within a deep slumber. With the seal containing Dark Side undone, the Dark Knights scattered to undo the ward surrounding the Castle while the Black Order resurrected Khazan. In response, the Priest Order, De Los Empire, and Usir Order allied forces, split into three divisions to pursue and stop them, led by Lucille Redmayne, Judy Ringwood, and Adras Teia respectively. But although they were able to dispose of the Dark Knights, they were too late to prevent the seal's undoing and Khazan's resurrection.
With all the seals undone and Khazan's interference now gone, the resurrected God of Chaos watched in amusement from afar as his foes scrambled to storm the castle. Upon their arrival, he released a portion of his power and toyed with his enemies while remaining on his throne. Impressed by their vigor, Ozma unleashed his true power and released a burst of energy that caused all but one of his foes to falter, the "Refined Blade." Now in his true form, he and the Blade engaged in combat, until, ultimately, Ozma met his end.
Upon his defeat, Ozma unleashed a final burst of energy which destabilized the Dark Side as a voice bellowed in the wind:
"I may perish, but Chaos will remain.
Khazan... Are you... watching from the... Netherworld...?
Khazan...
My friend.
Watch me from the Netherworld in the gaping mouth of the red moon.
You were afraid that I was being used by he who looked down upon us from beyond the sky.
But... I didn't care, even from the beginning.
I didn't care, so long as I could let my chaos, my anger, swallow the empire and destroy the rest of humanity.
The only thing I have left is revenge."- —— Ozma's final words
Legacy
As the region crumbled and the gateway to the dimension began to close, the Allied Forces rushed to leave the Dark Side. Although the enemy was defeated and they were able to escape due to the sacrifice of Nilvas Gracia, Ozma's legacy of Chaos still lingered. Imposters still roamed the land, and the Curse of Blood still remained.
In the aftermath of the war, many of the participants fell victim to the effects of Ozma's curse, including the Empire's Crown Prince Van Frantz. Although attempts were made by Lemidia Basilica to alleviate the curse's effects, it was unable to prevent further tragedies from occurring. One such tragedy, the Tragedy in the Confessional, led to an escalation of the sectarian conflict between the diocese.
After Ozma's demise, the Empire secretly attempted to absorb Ozma's Apostle energies as they escaped the closing rift. But just as Judy Ringwood was about to absorb the energy, she was interrupted by Midnight Black, who sought to absorb the energy for himself to become the new god of chaos. However, he, too, was thwarted by a third party, Michaela of the Holy Eye, who sealed away Midnight Black and absorbed Ozma's Apostle energies to thwart the prophecy of New Genesis. However, Michaela was unable to purify Ozma's energies, and needed to seek extreme measures to purify them, which ultimately led to the events that transpired in the War of the Saints.

As an Enemy (Ozma Raid)
Phase 1 Move Set
- Black Crystal During the very beginning of Phase 1, Ozma summons a floating Black Crystal towards all three Raid parties in their respective sections of the Throne. Apart from only having two attack being Crystal Thorn and Cross Laser which are easily avoidable, it functions like his Otherverse skill Cloak of Darkness, until the Phase 2 fight begins.
- Mini Meteors: Ozma can summon sprinkles of small meteors that scatters down at the location of players within a small explosion radius.
- Magic Explosions: Several purple or white circle spawn quickly underneath players to cause explosions on the floor.
- Yellow Circle: Ozma randomly places a yellow circle with arrows on a player. After a few seconds goes by, the circle explodes and deals potentially fatal damage to them. In order to prevent this from ocurring, have at least two or more party members stack together within that circle as a way to distribute the damage output without killing anyone.
- Chaos Lasers: A purple circle starts to grow underneath a random player. Once it finishes growing, Ozma fires down a volley of laser beams at where that circle's position is located. In Phase 2, Ozma can track down anyone by firing down four lasers, then another set in a cross-shaped pattern.
- Chaos Chain: Ozma can randomly creates a Red or Black Chain that connects to one or more party members. To break free from either colored chain, there are two different methods:
- Anyone who has a Red Chain on them, will get pushed away and they must stay together.
- Anyone with has a Black Chain on them, will get pulled within each other and they must run away.
- If this is done correctly while letting the progress bar above empty out, the chains eventually disperse and those players are freed.
- Chaos Eye: In a total of three times, Ozma places an eye on everyone that flashes either a X mark or doesnt:
- If the eye has no X mark, look at Ozma.
- If the eye has a X mark, look away from Ozma.
- Looking the opposite way results in getting thrown into a wall and damaged.
- Silence Orb: Two orbs are randomly placed on two party members, a White Orb drains that HP and puts them in a Silence status from casting any skills, while the Purple Orbs drains Sanity. To prevent dying, these orbs can be passed around to anyone else safely before the pattern ends. Afterwards, those orbs float up to deal AoE lighting strikes.
- Phase 2 Transformation: When Ozma's HP reaches around 50%, he'll go into a invincible state where the Black Crystal cannot take anymore damage until Elerinon the Tragic City is cleared. Upon Astaros' defeat, a cutscene plays and being similar to Sarpoza's 2nd Phase sequence, Ozma will lift up everyone, slams them down on the floor to cause a roomwide party wipe attack that is survivable by using
Quick Rebound. Afterwards, he'll enter his Phase 2 battle.
Phase 2 Move Set
- Whispers of Chaos: A shower of Purple and White Magic Spheres rains down on the floor, and players are each given their own bar that has a green and red meter in it. To clear this pattern, everyone must consume a certain amount of White Spheres that increases the overhead gauge, and keep it within the green range, while consuming Purple Spheres decreases the gauge. If done correctly before the timer depletes, a Nen Guard is formed around that player as a safety zone to be protected by Ozma casting roomwide lightning bolts.
- Chaos Explosion: Ozma attempts to teleport at players within close range to deal a explosive wave around him, dealing heavy damage.
- Wing Slash: In a wide arc at close range, Ozma can use his wings to attack twice in a row to knock players away.
- Chaos Sacrifice: One player is given a ring of orange flames, while another has red flames with a timer gauge above them. if time runs out, the player with red flames will get flung airborne, with Ozma firing down Chaos Lasers at them, resulting in a instant kill. To prevent being damaged, they must bump into that player with orange flames, as doing this makes those red flames vanish, and gives the orange flames player a chance to use
Quick Rebound when those lasers appear.
- Punish & Save: Functioning similarly to Sarpoza's Elemental Shield placement during his Phase 1 Berserk, Armageddon Strike, Two players are randomly given a Purple or Grey shield around them and within a total of three times, a roomwide Magic Explosion of the shield bearer's matching color appears throughout the Throne's corners. For those without a shield; surviving this pattern requires to stay within a green fan-shaped safety zone behind the shield bearer to avoid taking fatal damage from the explosion. on Chaos Levels 2-3, a third player can receive a Red colored shield.
- Chaos Ripple: Ozma summons three orbs on the map, while a targeted player has three orbs above their head. Each of these orbs will send out a AoE shockwave across the Throne's section. While these can be avoided with ease, the targeted player can also do the same effect upon landing on the floor after landing. Despite doing a fair amount of damage, these shockwaves can heavily drain Sanity Gauges by 30 points if the jumps aren't timed well.
- The Blade refuses to hear the truth: Ozma's last strike. Upon reaching 5% HP, he'll go into the middle section and forms a large orb above him that not only pulls in everyone, but also uses Magic Explosions, Mini Meteors and Chaos Chains to occur on all three sections of the Throne as a last resort. However, green orbs can also spawn to lower Skill Cooldowns by 30 seconds, use these as an advantage to finally take down Ozma to clear the Raid once and for all.
Berserk Mode
Ozma has a total of five different berserk patterns, as each of these will only occur depending on the Phase and HP percentage he received throughout the entire fight, plus parties cannot enter Throne of Chaos until that pattern is finished. Upon clearing or surviving those patterns, Ozma gets a 10-second incapacitated time period that greatly decreases his defenses via Damage Adjustment.
- Good-Bad Balance: A series of Purple Orbs start following players around them across the Throne. Destroying one creates a whirlpool that captures anyone within its range, and they cannot break free for a while. Once the whirlpool is done, it'll spawn Black Orbs that'll cause a knock down at close contact when destroyed, and activates a lightning bolt, while both Orbs can cancel out each other's patterns upon colliding. After some time has passed, Ozma casts a room-wide lightning strike towards everyone. To survive this, players who get trapped into whirlpools can take advantage of its short invulnerability, but will need to time it correctly.
- Chaos' Judgment: The Black Crystal has five orbs located above it, alongside a purple line connected to whoever's the farthest away, while meteors fall down, followed by a larger Meteor that lands within the player's location dealing AoE damage and spawning a Tombstone. If the same player keeps being targeted, they'll have 50% of their HP drained. This pattern will repeat within a total of five times until no more orbs are on the Black Crystal. Depending on the amount of Tombstones, one or two of them will form a Nen Guard as a safety zone that protects anyone from Ozma summoning a volley of AoE room-wide Meteors.
- Chaos' Test: Three rows of Grey Crests spawns on the floor, these will turn Yellow, and creates a Nen Guard if anyone steps on one. For this pattern, everyone must locate four real Yellow Crests located within the rows, as some may turn out fake once stepped on and disappearing. While this is going, Magic Explosions appear underneath to disrupt players while doing the pattern, and after the timer ends, Ozma performs Annihilator. If playing on Chaos Level's 2–3, this pattern is heavily altered.
- Chaos Fragment: At 20 - 40% HP and being somewhat identical to Bloodlust Midnight's Darkness's World of Red Dreams, Ozma summons five orbs towards two random Raid party sections, and must unify those orbs by matching the same colors going in order; Blue --> Green --> Red --> Yellow. Ozma's 10-second incapacitated time will only activate if both parties who received the pattern successfully cleared it.
- Void Space: At 10% HP, Ozma exiles anyone who is still alive into the Void, and must initiate a counterattack phase towards the Imposter Scapegoat, being similar to other raid bosses who have an identical gimmick. Depending on the Raid's Chaos Level, the amount of Group Counters shown below are required to escape and clear the pattern without any casualties.
- Chaos 0: 30
- Chaos 1: 35
- Chaos 2–3: 40
- Annihilator: Whenever specific berserk patterns failed, or trying to survive ones like Chaos' Test, Ozma will do his own Neo: Awakening-like room-wide attack that results in an instant kill.
Tips & Strategy
- Compared to his Dark Side fight in Otherverse or other Apostle-focused bosses, the Raid version of Ozma can be considered a truly dangerous final boss, especially on Chaos Levels 2 -3 as he's able to chain various hard-hitting attack patterns, alongside possessing numerous Berserks that can easily kill anyone that's uncoordinated.
