It all ends with a wish...
It all begins with a wish...
Narakuten, Nekurajin, Desecrator... call him what you will.
The end, THE END.
As he stands before the ANTIGOD, the god of paradox, he is presented with a single question: What is your wish?
No, it's not Diaboross himself, asking this question - but a simple manifestation of a cosmic force: balance. A disembodied voice, squeezing itself through a sliver in time. As such, time is stopped save for the voice, and his own mind. Needing not the answer in words, the force gleams from the man's mind, just what he would wish for if he could do it all again.
Turn down the Oni that destroyed his clan?
No.
Stopped the demongod from stealing back its essence?
No.
The answer rests in the pivotal moment of his original death, where the core of the android has latched onto him, and destroyed his body to create its own.
The wish?
"... that I had never entered the black morass that day..."
And so it is done. In the blink of an eye, a divergance of the timeline is created, then forced over the current one. Everything that happens as a result of that divergance, happens. People that were killed by the demon, never were. Monuments built, guilds desroyed, plans schemed... none of that occurs.
And as a result, Desecrator finds himself standing alone in a clearing.
Sure, people will remember things as if the wish wasn't made... atleast for awhile longer... but ultimately, they will go to the lives they know to be NOW, and not how it could've been.
