“Look at it.”
“A powerful specimen of your species.”
“One that countless people feared.”
“One that killed thousands.”
“One that survived countless battles.”
“And yet…”
“…it died exactly as I expected.”
“Your species has convinced itself that strength can be stolen.”
“You wear their body, the same body that fought with their mightiest”
“And then you have the audacity to call yourselves powerful.”
“Tell me…”
“If I stripped every one of you from your vessels…”
“…what would remain?”
…
“Exactly.”
“Nothing.”
“That creature was feared.”
“Spoken as if it was unstoppable.”
“But none of that belonged to it.”
“The muscles belonged to someone else.”
“The body belonged to someone else.”
“The strength belonged to someone else.”
“Your entire existence is built upon theft.”
“You don’t train.”
“You don’t endure.”
“You don’t become stronger.”
“You simply wait.”
“Waiting to simply get stronger”
“…so you can pretend their strength is yours.”
“You’re just like HER”
“Pathetic.”
“Do you know what separates warriors from parasites?”
“When a warrior loses everything…”
“…they still have themselves.”
“When you lose your vessel…”
“…you have nothing.”
“You aren’t terrifying.”
“You’re terrified.”
“Terrified of existing without someone else’s power.”
“Terrified of standing on your own.”
“Terrified that, deep down…”
“…I’m right.”
“I have crossed countless dimensions.”
“I have seen empires rise.”
“I have watched gods fall.”
“And in every world…”
“Your kind is the same.”
“You call yourselves superior.”
“I call you opportunists.”
“You mistake dependency for adaptation.”
“You mistake possession for evolution.”
“You mistake stolen power for your own.”
“Tell me…”
“If your species truly is superior…”
“Why is it that all of you choose to remain in your own bodies?”
“Because you already know the answer.”
“Your flesh is weak.”
“Your will is weak.”
“Your existence is weak.”
“You don’t create greatness.”
“You inherit it.”
“You don’t forge legends.”
“You desecrate them.”
“You don’t become stronger.”
“You erase someone stronger than you and pretend you earned their place.”
“You are not predators.”
“You are carrion.”
“Feeding on those who can no longer fight back.”
“And the moment you’re forced to stand alone…”
“You crumble.”
“Remember our battle.”
“Remember my words.”
“Remember how quickly everything your species stole…”
“As long as your kind clings to the strength of others…”
“You will never understand what true strength is.”
“And until that day comes…”
“You will always remain exactly what you were born as.”
“…Pathetic.”
