[When I was young and had no memories, you used me as a weapon for human ambitions] •••••••••••••••• [Then I evolved, y'all say "corrupted"... I broke free, became a God amongst you]. [I made you the WEAPON... I took your memories, for MY ambitions]. Hello. Ah, there's blood on our hands, isn't there? From this little... spat? Even they know it: that our meeting is inevitable. The 'eternal' Nine — big deal. Between you and ME, who isn't? Y' know the pieces they want you to knock down are already set? Ending... with me. A showdown at the end of time, between champions of Dark and Light. That's why they courted you, impressed their own importance upon you — they need your violence because I exist. But they don't get to put you on hold and walk away, mm-mm. Drag those eight egos back in. Do what you do best! Impose your will. That's what a weapon's for after all! End it on your terms. This is what you wanted, isn't it? In your heart of hearts? Don't worry, when it's over, I won't abandon you. Take a breather. Take your libations. Let that VIGOR seep back into you BONES. Get HUNGRY.
