"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Archon screamed.
A scream so desperate, so... soul-shaking that... for a moment, the entire void turned silent.
His soul shook violently, covered in needles—thousands of them—each one buried into him, each one showing the amount of agony he had just gone through.
There was no blood.
There was no wound to heal.
Only agony.
Pure, endless agony.
And the worst part?
The number of needles around him hadn’t lowered. It was as if... the more needles were used, the more appeared again.
And it was... horrifying.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Archon screamed again. At this point, his scream had turned into a shriek—something that couldn’t even be recognized. Yes, he was losing his mind.
Nux was standing a few meters away from him, his hands behind his back as he watched him like an old man watching the weather.
There was this strange calmness on his face, as if he had all the time in the Universe.
And completely opposite to him, Archon thrashed helplessly, then his scream finally broke into words.
"WAIT—!! STOP—!! PLEASE—!!"
His eyes were wide, desperate, wet with tears that did not fall.
After all, Souls could not cry.
"L-LET ME SPEAK!!! I’LL SPEAK!! I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING!!!"
He begged, as desperately as he could, lowering himself more than he ever did in front of Light.
Nux, however, tilted his head.
"You already spoke,"
He smiled lightly.
"A lot, actually.
You said how I forged everythi—"
Archon shook his head violently, not even letting Nux complete his words.
"No! No, I— I was lying! I was lying then!"
"Oh?"
Nux narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.
Then, he lifted his finger, and the needles that were already plunged into Archon’s body pressed in a little more.
"AAAAAGGGHHHHHH—! STOP! PLEASE STOP! I’LL SAY IT! I’LL SAY IT ALL!"
Archon howled again.
Nux lowered his finger.
The pressure eased, barely.
Archon gasped desperately. All thoughts regarding pride, saving his reputation, or even staying loyal to Light—
They all disappeared.
Things now became very apparent in his head.
Light was strong, he wouldn’t deny that.
Lady Seraphielle was strong too.
He wouldn’t deny that either.
But right now, none of that mattered. Light, Lady Seraphielle, or any other Infinities—none of them could be contacted, none of them could help him, and this man...
This... monster in front of him...
He was heartless.
A being with... no lower boundary.
Ever since he removed his soul from his body, he never once gave him a chance to speak. These thousands of needles—they weren’t plunged into his body because this monster asked something he refused to answer—
They were plunged... just because this monster wanted it.
He wanted him to scream and wither in pain.
And only now—only after he was satisfied by his screams—did he let him speak.
And Archon...
He did not want to give this chance away. This was no longer about pride or even survival; this was about... release.
"It’s real!"
He blurted out.
"It’s all real!
Everything you showed—everything—those memories are mine!
They’re real!"
"But you said I forged it. That my artifact was faulty."
Nux spoke. He looked like he was... pouting?
Whatever it was, it was a disgusting sight. Archon’s face twisted, but he quickly said the truth.
"No! Nothing was forged! Nothing! The artifact wasn’t faulty! It was my fault! I was lying! I was lying because I— I thought I could escape!"
Nux took a slow step forward.
"So you admit to everything that was shown?"
"I admit!"
Archon shouted instantly.
"I admit to everything! Every scene! Every death!"
"You aren’t saying this because you’re in pain and you want it to stop. Correct?"
Nux stared at him, genuinely curious, and the answer was instant.
"No! No, I’m not— I’m telling the truth! Please believe me! You should already know it! The artifact isn’t faulty—you know it!"
The lie he had decided to hide so desperately—now his desperation to reveal that same lie was multiple times stronger.
It was... quite an amusing sight.
"Why did you do it?"
Nux asked with a curious gaze.
Archon swallowed hard, but he didn’t make Nux wait, not even for a single moment.
"Because I wanted to look perfect! Because I wanted to be praised. Because I wanted Light to see me as... as loyal. As useful."
Nux nodded slightly.
"So you killed those who resisted."
He asked.
"Yes,"
Archon admitted instantly.
"I killed thousands. I erased every group that resisted. I called them rebels so it sounded clean. I told people it was for peace."
Nux’s voice remained quiet.
"And the worlds you ’converted’?"
"I forced them.
I took weaker worlds that stood near our routes and— I pushed Light’s doctrine into them. If they refused, I squeezed them until they broke.
If they fought back, I labeled them heretics.
I sent ’teachers’ first, holy men with smiles.
But behind them came soldiers.
Behind the soldiers came tribunals.
And behind the tribunals came... purifications."
Nux watched him closely.
"You also stole from those worlds."
He commented, and Archon nodded quickly.
"Yes! Resources! Ores, spirit herbs, life water—anything valuable! I took it and called it a ’contribution.’
Some worlds had nothing left after. Their lands collapsed. Their people starved. But if they complained, I punished them harder so no one else dared to complain."
"And why did you send all that to Light?"
Nux asked another question.
