Aftermath

[At Outline Preserver Of Humanity Headquarters]

The Manager's footsteps echoed ominously as he ascended the stairs leading to the rooftop arena where Caelum's fateful clash with Gorgulak had transpired. 

"You there, Caelum," he called out, only for his words to be caught in his throat by the grotesque sight that awaited him. 

His gaze rapidly shifted to the charred, dismembered remains of Caelum Vexley intermingled with the broken forms of his dead brethren.

The Manager's eyes widened in visceral horror, his pupils dilating as he bore witness to the brutal aftermath. Speech momentarily escaped him, his lips parted yet no sound emerged - a temporary prison for the scream clawing its way up his throat. The macabre scene robbed him of voice, leaving only silence to accompany the ghastly tableau of death.

At last, the Manager's vocals found their way back from the depths of his shock. A low, guttural rumble resonated from within him as he murmured, "I see then. So the maleficent bastard emerged victorious in their strife." His tone hung heavy with solemnity, the weight of realization granting gravity to each damning word.

The Manager's accursed tongue issued forth a profane summoning, beckoning the surviving cretins to bear witness to funerary rites for the wretched Caelum and his defiled brethren whose tainted essences had been so violently torn asunder.

Answering the baleful call, the others hastened, only to writhe in scorned agony as unholy flames licked their flesh upon attempting to lay hands upon Caelum's charred, profane husk - a punishing reminder of the hellfire which had consumed his cursed form.

Bearing witness to their tortured recoil, the Manager's damning voice cut through the wretched miasma, commanding the foul cretins to make use of an armored steel behemoth to convey the defiled cadavers and entomb them within sanctums of darkest mourning.

Obedient to the blighted order, they summoned forth the rumbling metal beast and, through its soulless grip, succeeded in interring Caelum's scorched, accursed remains within a profane sarcophagus befitting his violent undoing.

Throughout the bleak proceedings, the Manager's features remained an inscrutable mask of solemnity, sorrow carving its wicked sigil into the hardened lines of his visage as he mourned the passing of Caelum and the others into oblivion's rapacious, eternal embrace

As Funreal prepares, the Manager begins to speak, "Since today, we lost our Veteran Caelum Vexley along with eight other members. Caelum was defeated in today's battle against Gorgulak, another of the A-tier Demons. We would want to honor our fallen veteran with Honor and Glory for fighting Demons and other Supernatural Entities to protect humanity. I'd want to bestow upon him one of the highest titles in human history: 'Vorax'. Be the Heavens with you, Caelum Vexley, and may God have grace on your soul."

After the Manager's speech, the Funreal Team begins to bury Caelum Vexley in his grave.

As the Funreal Team buries, the Manager devises a plan to defeat the Demons. So he decides to approach Grythor for a plan to finally exterminate all demons. 

Manager places a few rose flowers and says, "Rest Easy, Fallen One. All of them will be held accountable for what they have done to all of our fallen ones before you. "They left me with no choice." He then begins to stroll to his office.

And now, Manager appears to be quite serious about exacting retribution on Demons, to the point of erasing them from the very surface of existence. He decides to contact Grythor.

Manager begins preparing for his meeting with Grythor as soon as he arrives at his office.

The manager chants "Open," which causes the hidden door to be opened. 

Manager begins to walk through the hidden door.

Manager begins to descend from the stairs behind the Hidden Door.

As soon as Manager fully descends down the Stairs, Golden Light begins to emerge from the heart of darkness, illuminating Manager's way to Grythor.

Manager follows Golden Light till he hits a dead end.

Manager comes to a halt as he realizes he is in the midst of nowhere.

Manager tilts his head up slightly, seeing a golden light. Increase in intensity with each passing second till it fades away and reappears with greater power.

Golden Light says, "What does one desire, Samol?" 

Manager looks at Golden Light and asks, "So you decided to manifest as Golden Light, Grythor?" 

Golden Light says, "Yes, but it is irrelevant how I manifest myself. All that essential is why you've arrived here. Hence, what led you here?"

Manger clenches his fist and declares, "Enough is enough."

Golden light reacts to such fury with, "Hmmm..."

Manger continues, "We lost one more Veteran at the hands of Demons." And I cannot bear the deaths of our veterans. Not only did our veteran die, but we also lost eight other members. I can't go on like this anymore, so I'm wondering whether you have plans to exterminate the entire species of Demons from the very essence of existence?"

Golden Light Responds to the Manager. "Foolishness of yours to assume that under any circumstance, I will allow you to annihilate the entire race of Demons."

Manager's eyes widen when he hears this from Grythor Himself and exclaims, "WHAT!" "Are you saying you will not stop Demons from causing destruction?"

Golden light responds, "Stoping them from destruction and eradicating there whole civilization from Existence are two seprate issues not same thing."

Manager immediately says, "But they killed humans, so they deserve to perish completely."

Golden Light adds, "Obviously, mortals like you cannot comprehend the existence of other kinds, accordingly the other kind does something dreadful, and your kind says, 'Make them perish from existence'. This is one of the numerous reasons why other races, such as demons, seek to destroy you... It's simple; it's due of your ego."

Manager is left Speechless by Grythor's respond. 

Manager then takes deep breath and sighs before saying, "Ok, Then what is your plan on dealing with demons, How do you wish to defeat demons?"

Golden Light states, "Through the power of Transmutation."

Manager responds, "I see, But Transmutation of what?"

Golden light Says, "Transmutation of Evil into Good. Leave this to me, I will handle it."

Manager says, "So, what are we supposed to do now?" Should we prepare, or will you manage it on your own?

The Golden Light states, "You do not require External Readiness. All you need now to win is internal readiness. Go and be prepared within; fight your own demons before attempting to conquer external demons."

Manager replies, "Got it."

With that, the Manager begins to stroll towards the Hidden Door exit.
