“ “Remember this moment. Remember your friends who never lived to see the world's end. Remember their final wishes—“ “And let the purest rage in your heart rise out of those wishes...” “Let it consume you, fuel you, until it burns away the false sky above.” … “Take it… Everything I bear.” “Keep on burning” ”

“ Stand with me and become heroes! ”

“ Now, a sun is about to fall, ready to incinerate this absurd space-time dimension in an instant! That sun is me! All the countless versions of me from the past — along with my countless brethren, dragged into existence against their will, drowning again and again in your golden blood. The very essence of this world's suffering and despair, fused into the purest hatred, the fiercest rage! NANOOK, YOU ARROGANT FOOL!!! You think we were born only to serve as fuel for the fire? FINE, THEN! Just as you wish, let the fire burn! If I was born as the blazing sun of Destruction, then let you and your lackeys be the flares erupting from my core! And let this rage, burning futilely for thirty million epochs, engulf EVERYTHING… And grant you a dawn where ALL STARS BURN TO ASH! ”

“ Listen well, creator of Destruction. This cry comes from all your abandoned creations... In the 10th cycle, I drove Dawnmaker through the heart of every Titan. Golden blood ran down my fingers. Divine fire seared through my nerves, nearly breaking my will — but I endured. In the 10,000th cycle, my former comrades had all become my enemies. The endless slaughter dulled my senses to pain. The painful emptiness almost swallowed me, forcing me to stop fighting — but I endured. In the 100,000th cycle, the Destruction had already fused into a blazing sun, surging within this fragile body. My rationality had been burned away at the dawn of the era... Yet even with only this shattered body remaining, I still endured. In the 23,570,000th cycle... This time, I felt it: a tiny spark rising in the hollow cavity of my chest, different from the obsession with Deliverance... By its faint glow... once again — no, COUNTLESS times again — I endured! ”

“ This cry comes from all your abandoned creations” I love that Hoyo portrayed Khaslana’s hate not in a negative irrational way, but from the love he feels towards Amphoreus and the Heirs. He isn’t doing anything selfishly, but for the Chrysos Heirs who gave their lives for his. And this quote is like a perfect example of that. ”

“ Nanook, you arrogant fool! You think we were born only to serve as fuel for the fire? Fine, then — just as you wish, let the fire burn! If I was born as the blazing sun of Destruction, then let you and your lackeys be the flares erupting from my core! And let this rage, burning futilely for thirty million epochs, engulf everything — And grand you a dawn where all stars burn to ash! ”

“ There's a hero within everyone's heart. With the chisel of time, we carve ourselves stroke by stroke, until the hero becomes real. Until they become our greatest creation. ”
