LUSIO And The Hidden Emperor

27. Is It The End?

"Hex... I just saw in my own eyes... It was Hex... It was Hex inside of Kim's body all along" Argius babbled.
-"Hex? Hex who?"
-"The king of the Devils... Have you forgotten?"
-"But what happened to Kim?"
-"He killed him-"
-"But...But how is this even possible?? You told me that Hex was killed by Zedin after the war..."
-"I don't understand either..."
-"Nad wait... One more thing... How do you recognise Hex? How can you be so sure. No living human being saw him. He was in the ancient tim-"
-"SO WAS I..."
-"What do you mean..! Argius... What are you talking about. No! Just who are you? You are Argius, right... Answer me."
-"No."
-"WHAT!!! Then who the hell are you?"
-"I am... I am... the one who killed him."
-"Don't tell me... You are... You are Zedin?" (Lusio was shocket normally)
-"Indeed I am... And I know you won't believe me-"
-"No.. That's not true..."
-"You mean... You believe me?"
-"No either... The thing is, what happened until now left me no choice of thinking scientifically or logically... I just want to hear the whole truth. Why are you here? What happened to real Argius. What happened to Maria? This world... You know everything right? You once killed him. If you are the leader of angels then why didn't you kill Arthur in the first place??-"
-"Because I CANT!!!!!"
-"Why???"
-"Since I contained myself in this human body. My powers are suppressed within. I can use the minimum ratio of power what I do actually."
-"Damn it!! What happened to Argius?"
-"He died obviously..."
-"Then kill yourself and make yourself free..."
-"It's not that easy... I belong to the Angels. I have to perform accordingly to my terms and conditions... I am the possessor of this body. Willingly sacrificing this live will be counted as suicide which I can't perform because it is a Sin."
-"Then how Hex get rid of Kim's body?"
-"Because he doesn't have to follow angel's terms."
-"I am all confused. Tell me the truth from the beginning... I know you lied."
-"Believe me... I wanted to save you all... But for your own sake I hid some things."
-"But now things are different. Tell me everything."
-"But I dont know everything at all. Little did I know that I was informed that a human being is under influence of Devilish powers. So I came to Earth. I looked for everything and get into this world. The problem was, when the holy war ended between Angel and Devils, for the sake of human beings God abondoned our powers to physically influence human. That's why I could not do any harm to Arthur. All I needed to get into a human body. But human can not take our powers so it would be supressed. But I can take that body whose possessor gives me in his own will or he is about to die obviously. I looked for any human of this type. But I couldn't find one in this Sulventium. One day I saw an old man was about to jump from a hill. I went to him and resisted. He was Argius. He told me about his son and requested to save his child as well as the world. He willingly gave his body to me. I got a body so I was physically active. But I couldn't harm any innocent human and my powers were compressed to the ground level. So I was still helpless. My powers were nowhere in front of him. And once I have gained that body it was impossible to leave it without dying naturally. So I just kept waiting for more clues and gathered knowledge about how I can solve this situation. After waiting 15 long years I finally found you. You had the powers and potential to fight against him. So I helped you to be strong. I wanted to fight alongside you. Now I get it!!!!
I remember now. Hex was the first ever created angel and the biggest worshiper of god. He was blessed with the power of immortality. It's true that I killed him. But he revived himself. I am a FOOL!!!!"

"Yes indeed you are old pal...!!" A voice came from behind. Lusio looked back. It was probabbly the most horrific face he has ever seen. He fell down and fainted. Zedin(Argius) took his body and laid it down to the bed. He lost his sences.
-"Hex, what do you want...! (Zedin says with raging eyes)
-"Oh c'mon you know what I want. I want to abolish the human race ofcourse. Because of them, I, the greatest of all was humiliated. I was told to serve this filthy things. Nah... They are all gonna pay. Since I lost the power of harm them physically I had to take on by strategy and mind games. And look what... I playing very well. You know you can't fight me in that body and I will not fight you because I don't want to kill the body so that you remain in this. You will watch. You will be the closest witness how mankind will be destroyed. HahahahahH...!!!"
-"In your dreams... You bastared!! You killed my wife... Did you forget? You are one to pay."
-"Oh I am glad to see that you remember that. haha.. Don't you wanna know how things got so messed up? Say..."
-"I don't give a damn... I am just gonna kill you... I am gonna save everyone..."
-"Oh please... Don't joke around. You know I am kind of excited to tell you my old pal.... everything... Lemme start from the beginning... After you beat me in the war... The total devil clan was abolished by god except me, thanks to my immortality. The spirits of devils including myself were compressed and was created a gem which was burried under the Lake. It was told that the spirits will be free if a human whom we tried to kill touches it. Finally my wait for milleniums came to an end. Arthur drowned under the river and his skin touched the gem. I was free. My powers were free. But I knew that I could not kill them myself. So I planned to use Arthur as the decoy. He was claimed dead and sent to the morgue. I went there and I tried to give some of my powers to that body and revived it. By the time some of my energy scattered and fell upon a dead newborn baby just beside the Arthur's body. That newborn baby was revived too with my powers. You know whose was that other body. I mean the child. Yes... It was no other than Lusio. He was born as dead. I always kept an eye on him and waited for the right time when he could be brainwashed. I thought now is the right time, by the time of human puberty. At this age they are super fragile by emotions. Stupid Humans! So I summoned him to this wold as well... But you crossed my way. I knew all along it was you. I knew from the beginning when you came here. But I never showed up because I knew I was way weaker than before and you will defeat me. But look at you now... In a filthy human body. You have nothing to do... Old pal, IT'S A CHECKMATE!!!!!"

The sky became darker. Heavy winds began to flow. It seemed like everything is going to fall apart. "It has begun.. Hahahh... It has begun. First round of human Destruction ceremony. It is so entertaining. I feel amazing.... I feel amazing..." saying this, Hex flew away with the wind leaving a wild loud laugh behind which was drumming in Zedin's ears... He murmured, "Have I lost? Is it really the end??"...
