Chapter 13 - The Devil's Confession...

Liam- [Stands up] What are you even doing here? If you're here to kill me then let me tell you that I'm Liam and Dwan is out using my body. 

[Akumaa walks close to Liam and said "Sit Down Liam"]

Liam- [Sits and then stands again] Wait? Why you are ordering me what to do? If you are here to kill me then do it quick [His voice gets more lower] After all I lost everyone I loved! Mom, Dad, Aoi. 

Akumaa- I'm not here to kill you Liam.

Liam- Then why're you here? And how did you entered this place?

Akumaa- My soul is distributed in all of the Japan so think it is as I'm connected to each and everyone. And right now I don't have that power to kill anyone. I am here to talk and let you know what's the truth.

Liam- Like I'll trust a devil like you. And why did you showed yourself up now only? 

Akumaa- Because of Dwan. He is now awakened and will prioritize more on his goals. He succeeded in his plan. I was just waiting for so long to talk to you Liam, but because of him I can't. I fear that he'll hear us. But now he won't ,As he believes that you're no longer a threat.

Liam- No, Not again! From the last few days I've been hearing something which is more complicated than my studies. I can't even understand anything. Awaken? Goals? You fear Dwan? Aren't you the evil one who wants to conquer on everything?

Akumaa- I see! So he portrayed me like that. Liam, Listen to me, only you're the one..

Liam- Wait? Why are you taking like I'm your ally or something. I don't trust you Akumaa, neither you nor Dwan. So if you are here to use me as your pawn just like Dwan then sorry to disappoint you, But I'm of no use. So just go and leave me alone.

Akumaa- I'll go Liam but at this moment whole existence is in danger. I'm being honest with you, I don't care about you but I want to defend the whole existence from him.

Liam- I still can't understand you Akumaa, and I don't want to. I can't bring myself up to trust you. 

Akumaa- [Sighs] Then tell me Liam, Why Dwan killed your mother?

Liam- Don't bring it up now. I know what I did was wrong but if you know nothing then keep your mouth shut. 

Akumaa- Do you really think that Dwan had to stab your mother 20 times just to kill her? And whatever your mother did was her choice. You were so mad and depressed that you never focused on your mother's words properly. Dwan used you from the start Liam. 

[Liam is shocked and think about the incidents from the past]

"Dwan- Sacrifice Liam! We have to kill our mother!" 

Liam's mother- I don't know why I did that! I beg you...

Liam- [In his mind] Why Mom said that? Why Dwan brutally killed her? And also why did Dwan mentioned only my mother if he knows about Aoi and my father too. Maybe he was also angry on my mother because of her act and said her name accidentally. But my Mom's reaction? Its still unclear. Guess I'll give Akumaa a chance to speak, I've no other choice. 

"Okay! I'll hear you Akumaa. Say whatever you know about that incident?

Akumaa- I am sorry if this will break you more but to save everyone you have to rise Liam. Your mother was innocent. She loves you and your father so much.

Liam- Innocent? What are you talking about? I know she didn't deserve death but I saw her with my own eyes.

Akumaa- I agree that you saw her! But she was not in her right mind Liam. She is being mind controlled and forced to do those things.

Liam- Mind control? Why? And who did that?

Akumaa- You remember that Satanist! Your mother and that man both were in his control. It was all pre planned, so that you must caught her red handed by doing those things.

Liam- Why? Who planned it all? 

Akumaa-[He looked in his eyes] It was Dwan! We all are connected with each other somehow. Dwan told that Satanist through his mind(Telepathy power to interact with only mind), No! Not told but threatened that Satanist to escape from the Police car by killing everyone in it and afterwards he used his mind control abilities to manipulate your mother. His only plan was to takeover on your body from the very start.

Liam- [Still can't believe] But why killing my Mom that brutal? 

Akumaa- To suppress your soul. Liam! You are the only reincarnation who suppressed Dwan's soul completely. You are special. Dwan knew that he can't takeover on your soul so he decided to break you emotionally. Witnessing your mother stabbed 20 times and killing those innocents life will definitely crush your soul and at last killing your dad too will completely destroy your will power to even live. He just wanted you to stay here as a zombie whose body is only alive but soul is being crushed totally.

Liam- [Shocked and In pain, He grabbed his chest and breathes heavily] But why? Why only me? What about that dream I had for years? Akumaa or Dwan who is actual evil here? What is the actual truth? [He put both his hands on his ears and keeps getting hit by the past memories of his life].

Akumaa-[Shouted] Liam? Liam? Calm yourself. You have to be mentally strong. 

Liam- [Looked Akumaa with eyes of tears] It's all my fault. I killed my mother without knowing the truth. I agreed to Dwan and followed his orders blindly, And now he will kill whole nation because of my mistake. [He looks down and the drops of his tears is falling from his eyes].

Akumaa- Liam, I know how it feels to lost someone you love. I understand you, But let me tell you everything and then you can decide whatever you want to do. Tell me Liam, how much do you know about Dwan, Gods and including me too.

Liam- [Takes a pause, Sighs] I know that there are 100 gods and all of you are created by the superior god and...[Liam having problems while speaking too as He is blaming himself for all the loss]

Akumaa- Wait wait wait! Don't waste your breathe, You are already suffering too much. [He puts his hand in front of Liam] Just put your hand on the top of my hand and think everything in your mind. This way I'll know everything you know.

[Liam placed his hand on Akumaa's hand and both of them closed there eyes, After a few moment He got to know each and every memory of Liam]

Akumaa- [Looks frustrated and sad] That Dwan! [He pressed his teeth tightly in anger] 

[He keep both his hands on Liam's shoulder and said] Liam! Listen to me, I want only one thing from you and that is trust. Trust and believe in my words which I'm about to tell. 

Liam- Okay! [He didn't even think properly and agreed to Akumaa, He is depressed and blaming himself for everything. Liam don't even care even if he'll die]. I'll listen to you. 

Akumaa- You know that there are 100 gods and each gods are created by our Superior. But there is one wrong information in that. There are total 101 gods created by the Superior God. It was an accident. When creating life he created something which is not in his own will. Dwan is none other than the very own life he created at the first time. He is the first entity to exist after the superior God. While creating him Superior God was so focused that he used half of his power on him. At first he looked at him with the eyes of love, but after he created universe he noticed that Dwan's presence is destroying everything as he is a new born child who have half of his uncontrolled powers. Superior God feared by looking at his own powers in someone else. He decided to destroy his first creation just to save everything. But it was impossible for him too. He failed to erase him from the existence, But he somehow managed to destroy his soul in pieces. He crushed his soul in so much pieces that it'll be impossible to find each and everyone. But Dwan somehow did it. Superior God realized his mistake and knew that his powers are terrifying and decided to create gods by distributing 1% of his soul to everyone. He created everyone by half of his powers and other half of his powers resides inside Dwan. 

Liam- [Is interested and shocked too] Dwan, Is he really this powerful? What more he wants? And whatever he wants if he have half of the Superior God powers then why didn't he achieved it till now? I mean, it is pretty easy for him to do anything on his own will.

Akumaa- Human body! His only disadvantage right now is this human body! He know that if he use even slight amount of his powers the human body can't withstand with it and he'll get destroyed again. Liam! You were his poison who tries to suppress his soul and now that your soul and will power is crushed, he is moving ahead to achieve his true motive.

Liam- True motive? What's that?

Akumaa- To gather every Gods soul. He wants to destruct and recreate the whole existence according to his own will where he'll rule. To do that his prior goal is to kill every Gods and gather the other half of the superior Gods powers in it. He already succeeded by killing 1 of the God, Cronos[The God Of Time] and consumed his soul. [Akumaa trembles while speaking] He is terrifying Liam. His powers..

Liam- What about his powers? Tell me Akumaa

Akumaa- The God he will kill and consume, He can use his powers too. But there is something more terrifying about him and that is..

Liam- What Akumaa? I know that if all of the Gods fought against him together they can easily defeat him. Cronos was overconfident and jumped on him in 1 on 1 battle. 

Akumaa- That's not it. I'll tell you about the power of Gods and how it works actually. Each and every God fight in 3 stages. The first where he only fight with their physical abilities like speed, strength. The second where they took out their weapons which helps them to attack more destructive and brutal blows on his opponent. And the third where they merge their own soul with their weapons which is the final form or attack of Gods. Each and every God is the god of something like Fire, water, time and more. [Akumaa starts shaking] After having all of the gods and every powers we are still at the major disadvantage as no powers, no attacks will work on Dwan. He is a living hack who is immune to each and every Godly attacks. His own power is that he will grow more as he fights. His physical abilities have no limits and his weapon Theophage too is the strongest weapon which exists.

Liam- Is it even real? Its hard for me to believe everything. Then we can't do a single thing right? Dwan is invincible and almost immortal with no weapons that can kill him. But wait? How do you know this things, Aren't you the one who appeared in previous calamity and to achieve your own goal you destroyed your soul?

Akumaa- I am still unaware about the calamity that how it appeared but I know that whenever calamity occurs, Dwan reincarnates. Whatever I heard that in year 1025 when first calamity appeared, Dwan got killed when he was in his mothers womb. During the 2nd calamity in year 1525, I arrived to stop him. He was already born at that time and in his child form he is far more stronger then what I imagined. I have to deal a binding vow to erase him from the existence but I guess that my 1000years sacrifice was weak. I sacrificed my own soul to destroy Dwan's soul totally. I killed his body at that moment but can't his soul. The 3rd calamity already got started and Satanist was my only ally, I told him to kill Dwan reincarnation in 3rd calamity and also gave him my divine powers for immortality and other abilities. But he failed to track you and when you finally met him, He was already threatened by Dwan and starts working for him. 

Liam- Then it was you who showed me that dreams? And if so then why did you killed Dwan's innocent parents during 2nd calamity?

Akumaa- Fear Liam. I feared that Dwan will reborn again in that family if I left them. So to secure I killed them too. And you are partially wrong. Yes it was me who showed you the dream but Dwan altered it in between and want you to know what he wants.

Liam- But you're a devil right? Why are you saving the very whole existence? Don't you hate gods and started rebel against them to achieve superiority?! You even killed an innocent god too and consumed his soul. You and Dwan are on the same path so why're you against him?

Akumaa- Huh! I and Dwan are same! Yes, I agree that I am a devil now but I was once a god too. And you're right that I rebel against god but it's not what you think. I fought them for some other reasons not for superiority. [He takes a long pause]

[Liam looked at him and noticed that Akumaa eyes are filled with burden, regret and pain]

"Akumaa, Are you Okay?

Akumaa- Oni was the purest soul I met. He was innocent and more than that He is my best friend from heaven. I killed him because I was weak, powerless and desperate.

Liam- I'll listen to you Akumaa. I want to know more about you. What type of God you were? And why other Gods throwed you in hell?

Akumaa- I was the last 101th God created by Superior God. He gave me a particular role and I'm the only one with whom the Superior God talked privately.

"I am none other than The God Of..."!
