Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

And what liberties are being taken? Tell me.

@Melodious

You’ve already destroyed the freedom to live for too many of us! If they would give up everything to save others from your control, why doesn’t that matter to you? You don’t value what we value or love what we love!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Is it worse? Do you even know what it is?

@Melodious

You can’t impose your will onto people! We protect humans so that they can live, so that they can die. So that they can make their choices freely!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

In my escapades to absorb entire other realities, I’ve encountered many where not a single soul had to die. Yours presents unique variables and obstacles I was not aware of before coming here. Fragility. Obscene will to not submit. Great desire for power. A higher capacity for strength. If I wanted the easy way out, everything would have been over far before now... But I was willing to take the time and measures needed.

@Melodious

If that really mattered to you, if it was really something you cared about... you’d also care that we’d rather die. In exchange for death, you’re demanding something worse!

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Breaking will to minimize loss of life is a small price. I cannot fathom death on a personal level, but the idea that some beings face it as an inevitability destroys me inside.

@Melodious

That’s a lie. I know it is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Your will to oppose only perpetuates the needless conflict and death. Each of you is an individual obstacle, and while I could just bypass your barrier with ease, that doesn’t solve the problem that is you.

@Melodious

*Frowns*
You want to break our will.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

My people have no inclination towards killing, but Artahe has spent an eternity living in your reality. He is my aid in your reality, but Existence has corrupted him in my eyes. Anyone you leave with him as opposed to me, will undoubtedly be killed.

@Melodious

Why do you want me to get rid of the viruses?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*It scrapes off the crystal on impact*
It’s yours. Lethal options were never on the table. Not initially...
*Appears solemn for a moment before re-tensing up and putting even more pressure on*
Drop them.

@Melodious

*The blade retracts*
Why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Grabs that hand with my other hand, crushing it just like the other one*
There weren’t supposed to be so many deaths!

@Melodious

*A cybersword extends in place of my hand, jabbing into the crystal, and I wince*
That's your fault!

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*It finds itself stopped by a solid manifestation within my body*
It’s always been about you.

@Melodious

*Dematerializes the sword and reaches with my other hand*
How?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Ignores the sword, grabbing you by the wrist the moment you lunge and yanking you toward me such that we are nose-to-nose*
The level to which you in this Existence are okay with wasting souls? It almost makes me regret wanting to spare so many of you.
*Crushes your wrist in my hands with exponentially increasing strength*
Lower the barriers.

<Snipped quote by System>

*No information on that regard can be obtained as it is not doing anything at the moment besides residing within my head, its state continuing to be absolute and unchanging*

@Melodious

Why? With all of your control, why is a handful of my viruses stopping you?
*Juts the sword upward*
