Saint Emperor [6]

At the end of the day, this was also that type of battle.

Damien had the subtle urge to keep the Saint Emperor alive, not due to any misguided sympathy, but from sheer curiosity. This kind of character couldn't easily be created, and he wanted to explore the true depths of this strange man to satisfy his own interest.

However, he was a man with responsibilities.

He had a duty to end the Saint Emperor and usher in a new era for the universe.

And while he did have that slight urge, his desire to finally end this and move on was far greater.

Therefore, this was also a battle Damien needed to win no matter what.

Creation, Destruction, and a final round where they used everything they could to come out on top.

The Saint Emperor was acting strangely, but even he didn't want to just die. He wasn't making it easy for Damien to win in the slightest.
