Ludger realizes that he just killed his friends to keep his brother alive, who may not have that much time left. After, Julius sees Ludger covered in blood and his own divergence catalyst transformation is progressing, to the point that it creeps onto his face. The ensuing battle pitches Ludger against the Xillia cast, who are all begging for him to stop before he kills them. Desperate to keep Julius alive, Ludger repeatedly denies going through with it and begging for there to be another way when Gaius raises his sword, Ludger completely snaps and attacks the entire party. Ludger realizes what's going on and rushes over to stop them. They need to get into Canaan and Julius told them that, if Ludger can't do it, they should. Realizing that he cannot kill his brother, the party leaves him to collect himself, while heading off to confront Julius themselves. All of the endings, actually, as there is no real happy ending.Meaning Julius, Rideaux, and a bunch of other people died for nothing! The only reason sacrifices became a common ritual was because someone who did the trial long ago misunderstood and thought a sacrifice was necessary. The information that comes from the supplementary materials makes this worse: A sacrifice isn't actually needed to create a soulbridge, Chronos is supposed to create it after someone has collected the Waymarkers. The battle music during the duel also contains the Hymn of Proof melody. And Julius is humming the Hymn of Proof as he's dying. Ludger has to kill his brother, so he can create a soulbridge and get to Canaan to save Elle. After you kill Victor and go back to the prime dimension, Ludger takes Elle back to Drellin to let her rest and makes her dinner, at which point she completely breaks down. Elle walks in on the group fighting and halfway through the battle she starts screaming for them to stop. That's not the only sad part though, it's the fact that Victor is this world's version of Ludger and he has completely lost his mind to the point of thinking his Elle is the "fake Elle" and that he needs to be reborn in the prime dimension to reunite with the "real Elle". After making Ludger and the others dinner and tucking Elle in for a nap, he reveals that he's actually a divergence catalyst and the final waymarker for Canaan which means you'll have to kill him. Elle finally makes it back home to her father, Victor, who actually seems like a pleasant fellow.
