1. Before the battle
116 linesI was omnipotent, but not because Solomon made me that way.
We were born from the distortions in people's hearts, a colony comprised of many demon gods, each granted titles and abilities.
I was transcendent from the beginning. The moment we were born, we were given omnipotence, and the benefit of its perspective.
Botis, Bathim, Sallos, Purson. Marax, Ipos, Aim, Naberius. Release.
The only complaint I had was that the 72 Demon God Pillars fused together, and were made to serve a single human:
Solomon. A ruthless king. An incompetent king. A king who knew everything, yet used that knowledge to save no one.
A man who seemed so easy-going... someone completely without worry, compared to how we would shake with anger. However...
"To put it simply, I just didn't have the freedom to get mad."
Orias, Vapula, Zagan, Valac, Andras. Andrealphus, Cimeies, Amdusias. Release.
...Ah, we are... coming apart...
Since our birth, I have known true omnipotence, have never lacked for anything. To lose that, to feel it fading away... We cannot begin to describe this pain...
My power is breaking apart so quickly... I am fading. Our entire existence is winking out...
I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. Disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting.
As more and more pieces of me fade away, this... this horrible pain is robbing me of my hands, my feet...
Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Halphas. Malphas, Focalor, VeparAll have faded away.
I don't know.
We know neither the fear that drives one to scream for help, nor the reason one is compelled to cry out in protest of something being taken away.
I do not know this regret, this frustration, this pathetic helplessness...
I cannot bear it. We cannot bear it at all. ...That is what makes it so terrifying.
Even knowing all of this, that wretched king once again overcame this fear.
To give up his omnipotence... a fate worse than death, once more.
...Who believes he is an incompetent king? ...Who feels he is ruthless?
Glasya-Labolas, Buné, Ronové, Berith, Astaroth. Forneus, Foras, AsmodayUnion refused.
My body is crumbling away... The Demon God Pillars are all choosing to disappear...
We cannot maintain the union. Aggravating. The Heroic Spirits' rebellion has not stopped.
I do not understand. How foolish. The one called "the Master" still lives.
We cannot maintain the band of light. Only five more minutes... I only need five more minutes to complete our task.
So then why...
Why is Fujimaru standing before me!?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!
Fujimaru, Fujimaru, Fujimaru...!
You're in my way. You should be gone...! We just need to remove you, but why...
Why can't we rid myself of a single human...!?
Enemy Servants' attacks unceasing. We nine pillars... Unable to see logic in continued attempts at repulsion.
Incompatible. Irreconcilable difference exists between us and them.
Reporting to Command Terminal Goetia. We will cease activity. We cannot resolve this issue.
Barbatos, Paimon, Buer have already shut down. Sitri, Beleth, Leraje can no longer be recovered.
Eligos, Caim, and I will continue to engage Heroic Spirits until the end.
Command Terminal, Goetia. We are no longer part of Goetia.
My anger won't subside. Will. Not. Subside. We nine pillars will no longer have the highest honor.
I will destroy every Heroic Spirit that is void of truth and reason. In the name of the 72 Demon Gods, I will bring death to all who cooperate with humans.
Frustrating! Frustrating! Frustrating!
Sabnock, Shax, Viné, Bifrons. Vual, Häagenti, Furcas, Balam.
Those eight gods cannot be restored. They have become fuel for my magical energy, and are no more.
Kill. Kill. Kill. Whatever you do, kill them! Feelings are unnecessary for our task.
Why!? Why!? Why!? Why do you fight so hard to protect humanity, Heroic Spirits!?
You should be aware that mankind is not worth this effort.
Life is painful memories. Evolution at the cost of so much pain is a folly unique to this universe.
This world is madness. You are all mad.
Why should this all hold such value to you?
Fool. You have already answered your own question.
...! You're... You're...!
I once thought much as you do now.
But, we reached different conclusions. You can see anything, everything... And yet, you failed to see the whole picture. You focused only on the sadness.
You focused so much on each individual evil that you blinded yourself to the larger tapestry that is humanity. YOU are the one who doesn't know the value of life, King of Demon Gods.
Besides, value is ever-changing. Put a price on life if you like, but its true nature will never change.
Have you still not figured that out?
The boy you dismissed as worthless is backing you into a corner.
If you're having doubts, then ask. I think that'll be your final salvation.
Hahahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Doubt... True nature... Still not figured it out...?!
Wonderful! Wonderful! Our enemies burn like raging stars! Unyielding, adamant souls unbroken, even by death!
This must be what it's like to be desired! This must be what it's like to be refused!
We lacked this incredible conviction! How could we have known... this immaturity, this foolishness, this brutality!
Agares, Vassago, and Samigina have collapsed under this paradox. Marbas, Valefor, Amon will fight to the end due to their triple union.
Alloces and Orobas... protected the Heroic Spirits and have been eliminated.
Oh... I didn't know we had such fervor! But it's too late! Too late!
Reporting to the Command Terminal, Goetia. Warning from Gäap: There is no need to wait for full verification.
An alignment error of 0.9999999% is within acceptable parameters. Activate the band of light. Start the temporal leap.
We will be destroyed. This is inevitable now. But, before that, provide us with the answers to our endless queries.
Even if we are to fail... We should etch our own self-destruction into the universe itself!
...We're crumbling. We're losing our unity...!
Activate the band of light...!? We've lost...!?
I can't be that foolish! Our plan left not a single loose end, left nothing unaccounted for, nothing to chance!
That's what the last 3,000 years were for. That's what the Temple of Time was for.
No matter how small, we cannot create the heavens with any chance of error, especially when we mean to destroy death...!
Murmur, Gremory, Ose, and Amy have destroyed themselves. Belial, Decarabia, and Seere have been destroyed by enemy Heroic Spirits.
There are three Demon God Pillars remaining. Repeat, there are
...Goetia.
...It's over.
？！
How dare you speak to us of the end...!?
...I haven't lost yet. We still have the will to fight, and the strength to kill you.
Fou! Fou!
...I know. Step back, Fou.
？！
...It's true... There's a certain logic to the King of Heroes' words. We failed to measure your true worth, as a human.
It pains me to ask this, but I must know, Fujimaru!
...!
？！
Third Pillar, Dantalion, has shut down.
Almost there...!
？！
Why do you fight!? Why do you not submit to me!?
Why? WHY!?
Second Pillar, Andromalius, has shut down.
Keep... going...!
？！
Why do you keep fighting so hard...!?
That's obvious...!
？！
That's obvious...!
？！
To live!!!
？！
...To... live...
Just so you... can live...?
...I... see. So you weren't even protecting humanity.
...Then we were mistaken. We completely overestimated you.
You longed for life, and feared death... And while fearing death, you defeated us in our quest for eternity.
What... hopeless foolishness. What worthless stubbornness. We need not save you.
That is the very embodiment of absurdity. Ha... Hahaha...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
First Pillar, Flauros, has shut down.
All pillars have ceased functioning.
Humanity Correction Protocol Goetia. Activity has ceased.
