Okay, my guess for how this "Tyren" arc will end: - Gaus will continue improving throughout the loops, eventually learning many skills and becoming stronger than ever before - He eventually faces Tyren directly, overcoming and killing him (probably with Rachel's help) - After killing Tyren, he's suddenly taken out by the next villain. This will likely be either the Master or another high ranking looper. - However, Gaus' Immortality will trigger one last time, taking him back to the original point just before Tyren tried to soul-bond him (due to already sustaining soul damage before learning to defend against it). - This will allow him to reverse the polarity on the soul-bond, letting him take Tyren's skills and stats instead. This will undo all the mana he's lost from using his immortality and then some, along with maybe allowing him to finally retain stats through the loop.
