Well, DT Nero did stomp them on a much earlier state of game, he even goes as far as fighting an
evolved one and beat him. Now, what is going on here? Is this some kind of magic trick that makes Nero go weaker as the game goes on?! Not exactly. I would like to call this, a
PIS, why? Simple, now we see Kyrie in the fight there and it's clear Nero wants to save her. Now what would happen if Nero saved her right away because he beated up those knights and Agnus? Simple, Nero's plot ******* ends. Oh and Dante would get much faster to The Savior due to not having to deal with Agnus as well, killing the old man in diapers quickly and ending the game in less than 10 missions, nice!! I don't think i have to explain it any further.
