At the end of the day, the actions and intentions of a person could be interpreted completely differently than those intended by another person.
If enough beings misinterpreted someone's intentions, they turned into the truth. That was just how the Universe worked.
Many misinterpretations were wrong, and they turned a person with good intentions into a villain, who wanted nothing but the worst from the Universe.
That was how Damian turned into the biggest Villain known in the annals of history, even though his intention had been noble.
He was a murderer, who desired to rule over the universe. That was it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot even the fact that he voluntarily retreated once he killed his targets was interpreted in the correct way.
Everyone just assumed that Damian had been injured by the Spectran and that he retreated in order to recuperate. But listening to Nial caused many questions to surface in his mind.
"Don't tell me you thought that your armies had been strong enough to pressure Damian and force him into a retreat?!" Nial asked the ridicule in his face for everyone to see.
"The Darkness God was stronger than all Divine Gods, and he could more than fight off you guys at the same time. He had over a million Devils by his side and his army was not only stronger but also much bigger than the armies of the Gods. So don't be delusional and a hypocrite. Just look at the facts and accept that Damian merely killed everyone who was in his way.
He obliterated several races but their fate was sealed the moment they were daring enough to give an Advocate of the Pryard shelter.
If you don't believe me, take a look at the logs of the Great War. Think about all the targets of the 'villainous' Darkness God and compare them with the cruelest war crimes Damian committed. You might be astonished about the result."
The Spectran and the other Gods were still silent. Nial was not even sure if they were properly listening to him, or if he was talking to a wall.
But even if they wouldn't be listening, there was not much Nial could do about it. The Gods had the choice and could listen to him, or be delusional and ignore him. They would be the ones who would die, not Nial.
"Damian was able to kill most Advocates of the Pryard. Only one is left behind, and I want to kill this Advocate of the Pryard. The Advocate of the Pryard attacked and eradicated my races a little bit more than a hundred years ago. I don't know the identity of the Advocate, so if you want a peaceful end even before a second Great War starts, it would be great if you could just reveal the Advocate's identity. This is for your own good as well!
Either way, the Advocate has to be strong enough to pass through the void, able to enter the Lacardian Empyrean Void, the place my race has ruled, the place I was born, and the place my eyes were taken and exchanged with the eyes of the Advocate, which had been cursed by Damian."
When he mentioned the Lacardian Empyrean Void, that his race had been annihilated a little bit more than a century ago, and that his lifeless eyes were actually the eyes of the Advocate of the Pryard, who had exchanged their eyes a little bit more than a century ago, Nial earned the first reaction from the Gods.
Some looked at each other with complicated expressions on their face, while others began to wonder if there was someone who had been cursed by Damian in the Great War. If there was a person like this, did he or she regain her eyesight a century ago, or was Nial lying?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe easiest way to find out whether Nial was just trying to bullshit his way through in order to gain their trust was to take a look at the facts. There weren't many blind Gods in the first place, and the number dwindled further because there had been even fewer during the Great War's period. The number of Gods who lost their eyesight during the Great War was also little, and even fewer were currently alive.
"I just want to get my revenge, nothing more. Furthermore, the Universe told me to kill the Advocate. If you have anyone able to communicate with the sentiments of the Universe, ask them about it.
It even allowed me to obliterate half the universe if that was necessary to get rid of the Advocate of the Pryard. So…think about my words, and take them seriously, otherwise, I might actually have to search for the Advocate myself…and that won't make anyone happy!"
There were actually a few more things Nial had to say, but he could tell that he was already flooding the Gods with the information he had provided.
At the end of the day, the things he said were something that could cause a devastating storm of unpredictable size. If Damian was really the good guy, who had fought everything and everything in order to protect the Universe and the innocent races of the Universe, wouldn't that turn everyone else into the bad person, the ignorant fools who had been played with?
Nobody really wanted to think about it that way, but it was pretty obvious that some things turned out to be a little bit more suspicious than initially expected.
NIal stepped forward, retrieved nine orbs from his spatial rings and he put them down in front of the Gods.
"As you may know, these are communication orbs. You can contact me through them if you want to. However, don't even bother to try and find me by tracing the call. That won't work," He said before he stepped back.
Once he was surrounded by his Devils, Nial released the necklaces of the Gods. They didn't move and stared at him for a few seconds.
"If you don't want to leave, then don't. Just don't attack me, otherwise, I will kill you this time!"
