Belial was wrenched in unimaginable pain as the roots of the
Qliphoth continued to dig into his body, "Damn you...!!" They screamed in his mind constantly, ordering him to go forward with his plan. Kill off the weak, and allow the strong to thrive. "******* STOP...!!" Belial grabbed onto a nearby rock, crushing it into dust as the roots pulsated with heat.
"Let's get something straight, you ******* roots...!!" Belial yelled out.
He grabbed onto the roots, beginning to pull them out. "
I AM THE ONE IN CONTROL!" He yelled out as blood spewed from his body, "If your going to give me power then let's get one thing straight, I won't be controlled...!! I won't be a puppet to forces beyond my control like my mother!" Belial said, his feet pressing into the ground.
"This is
MY body! Not anybody else's! I don't care whether it's you,
Ether, or any other ******* curse in this god damn world! This is
MY power!" His flesh was torn to shreds as he began to forcefully pull the roots from his body.
"You'll be the one to serve me in my goals! So don't think... Anything can control me...!" Belial said, a dark purple aura surrounding his body as he hyperventilate. "I will never be a puppet... Not like her." Belial stood up straight, his eyes bloodshot. "What should I do...?" He thought to himself, the pain still racking every single atom that made up his body. "I don't even ******* know..."
"
I believe I can offer assistance."
Belial jumped in surprise, darting his eyes around to search for the source of the voice. "Who the hell are you? Show yourself!" He yelled out, his voice filled with confusion and anger. "Are you an enemy!?" He asked the weird voice. The voice chuckled as Belial heard footsteps getting closer and closer to him by the second.
"
Do not be so cautious, Type:Belial. Or should I simply refer to you as Belial?"
Belial turned around to the voice, "Indentify yourself before I kill you." Belial said bluntly to the man, "Chop Chop. I'm not in the mood for any bullshit." The man chuckled, "
You are quite impatient." Suddenly, the landscape around Belial changed to a large and dark scientific lab. "What the hell...?" Belial thought to himself.
"
Welcome to my lab."
"
My name is Ashenheart."
Belial crossed his arms, "
Ashenheart...? What an over-the-top name." Belial said, "What do you want with me?" He asked swiftly, wanting to get to the point. Ashenheart chuckled, "
To help you."
"Help me?" Belial said, chuckling a bit. "How exactly can you help me?"
"
First, you must agree to be alone with me."
"What? You into me or something?" Belial asked, chuckling.
"
Haha, you're quite the joker. But no, I will simply be cutting you off from the outside world. Not even Demiurge will be able to find you." The supposed scientist said.
"You know about Demiurge...?" Belial asked, sort of confused.
"
I'm quite knowledgeable." That was all Ashenheart said to explain himself. "
All you need to know is that I can grant you control. To achieve your ideal world."
"My... Ideal world...?" Belial thought to himself, confused.
"
A world where the strong can thrive. As a scientist, we both strive for evolution, even if we must cause death and destruction to achieve it." Ashenheart said, smiling.
"I assume you know a decent amount about me... And I assume you know I think the idea won't work with all the opposition." Belial said, crossing his arms.
"
Then you must simply eradicate it," Ashenheart said bluntly.
"And you're saying you can help me with that? How...?" Belial asked, sort of curious.
"
Let us just say that I have designed a program that will allow you to tame that beast within you. The Qliphoth, being the beast." Ashenheart said, standing up.
Belial's eyes widened as he looked at his own body, realizing that the roots were cutting and breaking through his body violently. "I'm listening," Belial said, causing Ashenheart to smile.
"
Allow me to assist you in bringing your dream into reality then," Ashenheart said, still smiling.
