This is a multimedia webnovel with giant city-crushing monsters, a valiant man who dares to fight them, a hero who loses himself on a righteous path, and a darkness which conceives a profound love. But I suck at descriptions, so I strongly encourage...
"People have been doing what you're doing since the beginning of time. You're nothing special. Everyone believes that their actions are justified. Every man who's ever become a monster believed at some point that they're a murderer with good intentions. But murder is still murder no matter how you disguise it. There is no difference between us," said the familiar voice of the villain.

Ashes and cinders drifted faintly in the air as the weak breeze swept through the city streets. The houses behind Hatasuko and Vaida had been reduced to embers. The glow of smoldering flames reflected on the white walls of the canyon and stained the starlit city with a beautiful color. Hatasuko stood in front of Vaida with his sword in one hand and his shield in the other, but he stayed completely motionless. He did not watch the cinders as they drifted by. He did not watch the fireflies as they flew calmly above the rooftops. Instead, his golden eyes glared at the other Astrodeus, standing alone in the street ahead. Though he could not see Vaida, he could feel her left hand shaking as she held it on his back.
"Do I have your attention now, Vaida? You must have forgotten. Surely you must have forgotten. But every memory leaves a scar, and you know as well as I do that scars aren't something you can just shut away. You are marked forever; you were marked just for me. Maybe I wasn't strong enough before, but now I'm the strongest man in the world," Harvey announced with a twisted smile as he stood in the ash-stained street.
Hatasuko could feel the fingertips on Vaida's left hand dig into his back. He could feel her body tremble. Since he was certain that Harvey had killed himself back in Bones City, he never even contemplated this possibility. He never imagined that Harvey was the one following them through the cities, watching them, studying them. Hatasuko never imagined that Harvey would discover the secrets of black fire.
With a furious glare, Hatasuko yelled, "Did you really kill all these people just to get back at Vaida? You slaughtered an entire village! How could you possibly-"
Harvey interrupted and said, "Don't you dare judge my justifications. At some point, we all come to realize that the only thing that actually matters is action. Intentions are worthless. Words are meaningless. Reasons are empty. Outside the scope of a single person, actions are the only things that change anything. I don't care at all why the Interfecti slaughter our cities. I doubt anyone has ever wondered about their intention, because no one cares about their intention. It doesn't change the circumstance. No matter why it kills us, the Interfectus still kills us. No matter why I killed these people, the only thing that matters is that I did. Just like you. You're a killer, and I'm a killer. There's no such thing as a murderer with good intentions. Your good intentions don't make you any more righteous, and more importantly, they won't make you stronger."
With a sword in one hand and a small axe in the other, Harvey took a step toward his two enemies. When his giant foot hit the ground, it left a small crater in the street that a human foot could never create. His face shone from the glow of the flames and stars. His brown hair flickered in the ashy breeze. Hatasuko finally separated himself from Vaida so that he could approach the second Astrodeus. As he walked, he heard the anxious yells of the tempest in his mind. He could hear frightened whispers coming from nearby homes as people watched the two giants approach each other.
