Geode narrowed his eyes at the heroes' ignorant retorts. "Again, you assume too much of me. You know nothing of how I feel, or where I come from." Geode glared at Oz first.

	"I have not [i]become[/i] anything. This is what I am, [i]superior.[/i] The elementals, the humans, it was all an experiment to advance my own understanding of the three energies that make up this world. You ask for a revelation? I shall give you one," Geode spat, raising his orb above his head and standing tall once more, "There [b]is no light[/b] in the end. There is only void. The shadowed energies that pick and choose only the worth to control its power. The void is the ultimate god of reality, dictating those who are allowed to understand its fabric by one simple rule."

	"Power"
	[color=007236]"Power"[/color]

	"Hypocrite that you are, you claim that I cannot be allowed to live if I am a threat, when the very same principal applies to the actions that I am taking [i]this very instant.[/i]" Geode's orb glowed dimly. "The extermination of humanity, it is not to purge darkness and evils. It is to create a perfect race, capable of judgement that is on par with my own. A race of ultimate beings that can advance my understanding of the multiverse. A race like the [i]Metalix[/i], who had evolved to eradicate their own Ki for the sake of peace, and progress. Even if it takes a thousand attempts, I aim to create that which can offer me unlimited knowledge." Geode's eyes flashed. "Light?  Who could be bothered with such an irrelevant and meaningless lie? Professional cowardice, that is all you have claim to. You use your power to remain stagnant, and defend [i]idiots.[/i] You use your power to hide from your own insecurities and bury your heads in the dirt like worthless stones. If I allowed your demonstrably inadequate intelligence to persist, your race will continue to be nothing more than a threat to my very being. Even if I cooperate. Even if I were to show your people [i]love.[/i]" Geode lowered his hands and glared at Jenso.

	"Unlike you humans, I am not [i]stupid.[/i] I do not deal in half measures. I do not subscribe to fantasy. I do not indulge in [i]hope.[/i] There is no evidence supporting any of what you say. But for what I say..." Geode pointed up at the ceiling, and then to Gol-Ino, and then off into the south. "[b]There is a mountain of evidence supporting what I say.[/b]" Geode's demeanour calmed and he shrugged. "You have not truly kissed the void, you insignificant [i]whelp.[/i] Your Ki is still strong. You are bound by it to be [i]forever inferior.[/i] You are not a [i]void creation,[/i] and you never will be. And even now, you continue to bury yourself, deeper and deeper. The man you speak of, the prophet you claim to know, you say he's gone insane? You blame the Ying-Yang blade?" Geode began to laugh, louder and louder until the hall was flooded with his cackles. 

	"He has simply gone insane! He has seen the errors of his ways!" Geode pointed at Jenso and smiled. "You buffoon! You ignoramus! You are the one who freed me from my cage, but it was no mere mistake!"

	Footsteps echoed from behind Geode, and a figure stepped out from behind one of the golems. Geode smiled and spread his hands outwards.

	"The void does not cause insanity. The void merely enlightens. A true creation of the void is not hindered by morals or idiotic principals," Geode barked, lowering his hands, "You did not free me by chance. You were manipulated to do so from the very start."

	"[i]I could have done it myself,[/i]" Vale hissed with a light snicker, [b]"But then, what fun would that be?"[/b]
