Nashi looked flabbergasted. "You want to watch? You do know that you don't get to choose that. Tar is a divine being, not caring about your decision.." Nashi explained. Desmond scoffed. "I tried to tell them that for the last 20 minutes. He doesn't want you there either." He grinned and stepped inside the beam. Before Nashi could follow him, Erika came running to him and held onto his arm, keeping him from leaving. "Ask him... I feel like Desmond is planning something and I want to be there in case something happens... We can't endanger Tar like that..." Erika pleaded determined and Nashi sighed. "Fine... come along... But don't cause any trouble... I don't wanna be punished for your idiocy... It's a private meeting, he doesn't like being disturbed..." Nashi informed them before he allowed them to enter the beam too. "Thanks Nashi! You're the best!" Erika thanked and went inside, Nashi following behind them closing the beam of light.

They appeared into the familiar void that Tar had ordered them to go into many times before. Mai held Erika's hand tightly, looking for some reassurance. Nashi slowly lead them to chairs that appeared out of thin air, a little away from the area Tar was located in. As they both sat down, he lead Desmond towards [Redacted] before taking a few steps back. "Tar, your appointment arrived." He informed his boyfriend bowing. [Redacted] turned around studying Desmond. "So you're the mortal who's been going on a rampage of destruction?" He scoffed as he slowly took on his more human form.  "You're [Redacted], the god who made this world so miserable?" Desmond asked in return, his gaze turning into one of disgust. [Redacted] chuckled. "God? No, I'm no such thing! I'm simply an artist, creating art... Or something the like." He laughed getting closer to Desmond, circling him. "An artist... You think it's art? The ruined life's? The people that surrendered to their depression because of you?" He asked calmly, not letting [Redacted]'s pacing startle him. The creature just let out a long giggle. "Every piece of art has a price! If you wanna draw something you have to smear color and chaos on a pure white canvas. There can never be only good in the world!" It explained full of excitement while Desmond just gritted his teeth. "You brought us all into life. We all had a terrible childhood, and that's your fault!" Desmond accused him pointing at him angrily. "Woah, calm down. I don't control the mortal's actions. All your parents being assholes or accidentally getting themselves killed is all their fault." He stated bluntly shrugging his shoulders. Desmond was taken aback. It seemed like this thing had no sense of empathy or morals. He sighed. "Your creation is bathing in chaos, all because of you! It's all your fault, I hope you know that. Everything we do, everything that happened..." Desmond informed him before lowering his head. "Believe what you want. I'm innocent and just here to watch over this universe!" [Redacted] explained in a mocking manner that angered Desmond. The young man raised his finger and spoke loud and determined. "I shall rule over this universe! You're freed from your duties, now a real leader shall take the lead."

[Redacted] looked intrigued, without any hint of fear or astonishment. Desmond was slightly more nervous at the way the creature didn't seem impressed by his declaration. "You wanna rule? A mortal who'll live 80 times less than I already have? Interesting, what makes you think you can do that?" He asked leaning closer to Desmond, feeling Desmond's breath. More determined than ever, the boy took something out of his pocket throwing it at [Redacted's] body. It his its arm, releasing a liquid that seemed to dissolve the creatures skin. Pained noises could be heard from Tar. Erika wanted to interfere, but Nashi held her back. "Wait... There's nothing that can actually kill him, he should be safe..." He stated reassuringly but still with a hint of nervousness as he held Erika's hand, who just gave him a small nod in reply.

[Redacted] soon stopped screaming and looking somewhat excited. "Y-you can hurt me!" He stated and Desmond nodded. "Yeah. Rachel's acid that dissolves everything. Whatever you're made of, you're not save from it. You gave someone the power to overpower you, too bad I noticed." Desmond explained holding another one of the weapons in his hand. Tar was ecstatic. "You can actually kill me! This makes things much more interesting! Hahahaha!" He laughed, which was very confusing to Desmond, who was expecting a fearful or even horrified reaction. Instead all he seemed to get was this something full of joy and excitement, like a child on Christmas. "You're about to die and act like this?" Desmond asked confused as he took a few steps back from the overjoyed creature. "In all of my over 80000 decades of existing, nothing has ever harmed me before! This is exciting, very excited! Thanks for entertaining me human!" [Redacted] exclaimed and jumped around. Desmond shook his head in disbelief. "You're completely mad... Good thing I'm taking over." He mumbled and threw more and more of those weapons on it until its body slowly dissolved.
