34 Humanity

'Sequence 5! Albert is sequence 5!' Hector was genuinely surprised as he thought that he would be in sequence 7 or 6 but 5...

'What an interesting piece of information, with a subordinate of sequence 5 I will be able to achieve things that now would be impossible. Getting beyonder the characteristic of Desire Apostle from Jason will be easy because he will be wounded and Albert could take care of him easily as both are in the same sequence.

'And dealing with Street Rats will be so much easier... But will it be as satisfying?' He started to think about how it would feel if he would be the one doing punishing or someone else.

'No, he doesn't care about the suffering they inflicted so he would just kill them. For them, to experience justice they need to suffer much more.'

------

The next morning Hector prepared himself to experience some joys of simple life to make sure he wouldn't lose too much of humanity.

He sometimes wondered if it would be possible to just take the humanity of others. Maybe to cut it out, or steal it with Error ability. But then he realized the unfeasibility of such things as humanity is unique to each one. Humanity makes us who we are.

And so Hector walked out of his home and as he strolled towards the square where the circus troupe started their performances.

On his way, he stopped at a certain store as he smelled fragments of freshly baked pastries.

And so he entered the store to buy some of them. When he opened the door smell intensified and his mouth started to salivate slightly.

He walked to the counter and spoke, "Good morning." Upon which he same respond.

Hector ordered a few cakes, teas, and different kinds of bread. While taking his order he realized that he may look silly ordering so much, but he did not care.

After he sat down on a chair that was present in the store, he started to eat one cake after another trying them and savoring their taste. He purposely skipped breakfast in his home so he could try out more of them without getting stuffed.

When he finished eating he walked out of the store and walked to the circus. Where after paying a ticked fee he entered a big tent in which he saw a stage and next to it rows of seats. He found an empty one and watched the show.

Firstly he saw a man who walked on the stage with a pole. The man had put the pole in middle and started to climb it until he stood at the top balancing himself. Then he put one of his feet on the pole and Hector could see another person walking toward him throwing him knifes. Which performer started to juggle while still balancing on the pole.

Next, he saw a woman enter the stage dancing with some kind of disk-like object and chair.

She then started to spin them on her finger while still dancing. After a few moments, she took another spinning them in both hands. Then she played down on the chair and put them on her feet not stopping to spin them.

Hector became somewhat impressed when she took two more, she used every limb to spin one. And he became very surprised when she stopped spinning them with her feet and a man from before had brought a table and put it on her feet. She then spun the table while still spinning with her hands.

'What the...' Was all that he could think.

Another performer came, and he was accompanied by a tiger. The performer had taken out a ring and whip making the tiger jump through.

Hector understood that circus animals didn't have the best life but he just could not enjoy it without them.

In the next performance, he saw people using monkeys, bears, and even something that looked like a penguin for the performance.

Overall he enjoyed the show and when he was leaving he even bought a souvenir. Carved wooden monkey.

When he walked the streets looking at the people he thought about the differences between East borough people from and other districts.

Their hopes and dreams were taken, replaced by only despair and pain. He knew that this world was filled with pain and sorrow.

He sometimes thought about the possibility of ending all of their pain, he thought about taking the path of complete annihilation of life.

He understood that the core of all things is madness and cruelty. And so he could understand the allure of killing all life so there would be no more suffering for the innocent. To kill all life so no more sins would be committed upon them

And yet he also knew that life is at the bottom of things, despite all the changes of appearances, indestructibly powerful and pleasurable. This can be seen in the eternal cycle of the perpetual creation of art.

For humans in their suffering would use their pain to create marvels that would remain, end, and then be born anew. There would change their pain into a brush with which they cope with their existence.

But now no comfort avails anymore, the longing of those that suffer transcends a world after death, even the gods. Existence is negated along with its glittering reflection in the gods or in an immortal beyond.

Conscious of the truth he has now seen and understod, he now sees everywhere only the horror or absurdity of existence. Beings able to corrupt others and whose knowledge could bring your doom. Now he understands what must be done.

For suffering brought upon humanity, they must suffer. It is not people who cover in cold, or children starving after a long day of work who should be sufering for the wrongness of the world. But the gods and people that brought the madness to us. Be it gods that desire our worship and offer only suffering in return, be it gods that desire our sacrifices so your life has meaning in their so-called plan.

This world is mired in torment and despair, and for that, they must be punished.

For the pain that Mother Tree of Desire brought through her corruption, she must be punished.

And she was not only one, he did not understand the whole truth but as of now he knew, "Who else but me to punish them. They are my subjects to rule and judge ower."

Now his purpose and meaning were strengthened Hector could walk his path clearly and freely, unbothered by the morality of his actions. For he knows the truth, for he saw the truth, his only truth that he will accept.

And yet he understood his own hypocrisy, he wants to punish others for the pain they inflicted on others, and he understands to make things right one must fully embrace the hypocrisy of his own ways.

And at that moment he felt a warm feeling of wholeness. He felt as if he digested his potion. Now he understood the tenants of Unwinged Angel.

-Disregard the morality of others and follow only your will and desires

-No one is greater than you, and no one is above you.

As angels who went against their God lost their wings in their pride, their lost part of themselves. But they did not become wrong, they somehow became more.

They found freedom in banishment, their warm blood turned cold as they embraced the truth, that all is evil, and that all must suffer.

But Hector also understood the important part of acting. And that is that you are only acting. He knew that he must spread pain and feed his desires as any evil being would, but keep his mind clear for he is more than his desires.
