What??
That's just wrong.
If you did that...
I find such an idea revolting.
I would oppose it with my all.


[ She... She would rather see humanity end than for them to become such a sad thing.

Ah. So that's what Tezcatlipoca foresaw. That's the ending for humanity he sought to prevent, isn't it? Not exactly what Denji proposes here, but... That's the piece of the puzzle she'd been missing.

"What would make a god of the human order turn against it?"

She'd had a hard time envisioning what it could possibly be, until that suggestion caused such a visceral reaction in her. So that's the reason for the Lostbelts. The bleaching. Everything. There is a bit of a delay as Ereshkigal deals with that revelation about what's going on in her own world. ]


Denji.

If you remove sorrow,
How do you define happiness?
How do you feel happiness?

If you remove sorrow,
You also remove happiness,
You will be neither happy nor sad.

You will just "be."

If you take death away from humanity,
How do you define life?
How do you define humanity?

A species that is so strongly defined by life and death.
You would be ending that species.
Humans would become something else.
Something... Pitiable.

If there is no death,
There is no life.
You would simply "exist."
