Accomplice
When (Captain) returns to the ship and hands the gauntlet back to Seox, the weapon reveals that it once belonged to a skydweller during the War. The skydweller fought tooth and nail, using the godly powers obtained through the Revenant weapon to kill many people. The weapon declares Seox as the next potential wielder of that power and entices him to indulge in the joy of carnage.
After defeating some monsters, (Captain) and the others hear the Six-Ruin Fist finally speak.
They quickly return to the Grandcypher and tell Seox the news.
Seox: I see. First of all, are you all right, (Captain)? You don't feel... different in any way?
The captain addresses Seox's scrutiny with reassurance, then hands him the gauntlet.
Six-Ruin Fist: Ah, that's better. It seems you're the only one worthy of using me.
Seox: ...!
Six-Ruin Fist: Know that you are the surrogate of the fist's god-like power.
Seox: God-like power, you say?
Seox: Who or what are you?
Six-Ruin Fist: Hahaha... I am you.
Seox: What?
Six-Ruin Fist: I killed many of my compatriots back in the day. Even my own family wasn't spared.
Six-Ruin Fist: We are birds of a feather, Seox. Sinners born with the power to snuff out the fires of life.
The gauntlet, or rather the individual to whom the voice belongs to, recounts their history with a hint of glee.
There once was a skydweller who wore the gauntlet and fought in the War to the bitter end.
Scores of Astrals and skydwellers, whether they be friend or foe, were slaughtered by the hand of the gauntlet.
Six-Ruin Fist: I didn't fight out of some sense of duty to my people. It just felt good to kill.
Six-Ruin Fist: My soul was special, for I was among the blessed few to be chosen to wield the god-like power flowing through a Revenant weapon.
Seox: This power you keep harping about... Was that enough of a reason to murder your own allies?
Six-Ruin Fist: Why not? War isn't about good versus evil. You either win or you lose.
Six-Ruin Fist: Guaranteed victory is achieved by prostrating oneself before the command of a god.
Six-Ruin Fist: Only the strong are bequeathed with the secrets of absolute destruction.
Six-Ruin Fist: And you, Seox, have also been granted that authority.
Six-Ruin Fist: You and I are both chosen vessels for this god-like power.
Seox: I'm not—
Lyria: He's always there to protect us! That's why he's different!
Vyrn: Yeah! No way he's a murdering menace like you!
Seox: You guys...
The weapon scoffs at the crew members, as if offended that anyone would dare refute its claims.
Six-Ruin Fist: Do you know why the Six-Ruin Fist, with its power to tear the heavens and pierce the stars, has singled out our souls?
Six-Ruin Fist: The heavens represent the world, and the stars represent fate.
Six-Ruin Fist: Don't let appearances fool you. Extreme violence isn't reserved for our enemies—we crush anything that comes near us.
Six-Ruin Fist: You can't change the soul you were born with.
Seox: Bullcrap. Let's say I do believe you. What do you want from me?
Seox: Your time is over. Your body rotted away ages ago.
Six-Ruin Fist: So what? It doesn't matter what form I take.
Six-Ruin Fist: As long as you equip the Six-Ruin Fist, you can tap into its god-like power like I once did.
Six-Ruin Fist: That alone will allow me to savor the sweet taste of mayhem.
Six-Ruin Fist: Give me the pleasure of mentoring the man who will destroy the world.
Seox: You...
Six-Ruin Fist: Enough talk, Seox. Put me on.
Six-Ruin Fist: Can't you feel your soul screaming for the satisfaction of taking someone's life?
As the voice reaches a rapturous high, Seox can only stand in silence. After a moment of thinking, he clenches his fist and makes a decision.
