Do you think time still moves in our worlds?

[ Hm. ]

Don't worry, I'm not that naive. I have questions for them, should they show themselves.

But I am not currently addressing a god, am I, Sir or Madam Anonymous? Or am I?

[iravehementi]

You are.

[ A careful pause. ]

If you're trying to put me in awe, you're barking up the wrong tree. You're far from the first person I've met who claimed godhood and talked a big talk about destroying the world.

[iravehementi]

Come, now.

Who spoke of destroying worlds?

[generaltraitor]

Seriously? Are you truly trying to say you'd benevolently lay siege to a planet?

[iravehementi]

Siege and destruction are not the same.

But...in a sense, yes.

I am a god of rebirth. If I conquered a world, would that be so terrible?

[generaltraitor]

That this is a question being asked at all... I think I know what I need to know.

[ Ugh... ]

What of the inhabitants of the world? Have they no say the matter?

[iravehementi]

You must think me cruel.

[But no, he thinks, they don't. Something in charge of this world brought him here, now the world will have to suffer the consequences.]

[generaltraitor]

I think that where I come from, even the gods showed remorse when they saw what they did to the world.

[iravehementi]

Hm! And what have I done to the world?

[generaltraitor]

True... you've spoken of your ambitions, not your deeds. I don't know what you have or haven't done, or if you're really any manner of god at all. Just a reminder that real deities don't act with impunity.

[iravehementi]

My ambitions....

If I conquer this world it will be to save us.
