Asmodeus's Links
Oh father, I begrudge the day which your downfall must come to ahead. Yet, it will be for the greater good, if only you could understand this. I love you father, I’m sorry for what I must do.
I take no pleasure in your downfall, {Tōbias}. To see what my son has render you into is not a pleasurable thing, I do not wish the curse of death on anyone even with my actions against the Xerneas and Yveltal. You do not deserve this? You are not this… Tōbias name they have rendered you to, yet you now know mortality far more than any god when, at this point, it would be best for all gods to experience what mortality must if it means to bring equality once again.
Your death brings me sorrow, I mean the truthfully. I have no doubt that you were a victim of the system, who can blame someone for simply trying to exist within it? I suffer because of the deeds you implored, yet I do not hate you. I love you, I still do, I would have awaited you to see the truth if only in time. That time will never be met, you will be rendered to the likes of the Eternatus and Necrozma before you will could see this change. You are a lost soul bound for gradual death, the very thing I tried to fight against. I’m sorry I could not save you, {Tōbias} I truly, truly am. I act to avenge you, even if in a way which you never would agree with. I’m sorry you were born into this existence, I’m sorry you were crafted into a violent and tense environment which harboured your hatred, I’m sorry that you could never be satisfied.
My dear son… He was one of my first along with his brother, a dear gift from my father to be given the opportunity to be one myself. Me and {Gigi} crafted them dearly and we loved them both. I love Salem, he is a shining light in this flawed existence, he understands the circumstances we are all in… And he seems to be the only one who has come to understand my feelings towards those all our accomplishes have focused hatred towards.
What he did to Tōbias impacted me greatly, yet I do not blame him for it. He felt what he had to be done, he felt that leaving his brother alive would solve many issues when, in reality, Tōbias would have come to understand. When his focus on being greater runs dry with Arceus’ down fall, he would have come for repentance. Now, this is an impossibility, yet what is done is done. I know that now Salem understands the weight of his actions, they are irreversible. Yet, the more he holds onto what had happened, the further he brings his own self towards a downfall. He will recover, I am certain of it, he has already accomplished so much in mere hundreds of years, he has learned compassion even to those we can not comprehend. He is a good man.
I am sorry, father. But I thank you deeply for your forgiveness.
I simply hope the future can be... better for us all.
One who seeks a cause yet continues to perpetuate the notion that authority is needed. Asmodeus is a good man, yet a deeply mistaken, delusional one. He may be a better fit for leadership than the Arceus, yet any leadership is detrimental to our longevity. Should he succeed I will still stand against him, for none of us will be free when limitations are forced upon us.
