"I already gave you the solution, Finn. You awake the four Legendary Eidolons and then you summon them. I believe you did the first step. So all you need now are four Summoners with the Supreme Skill—" A pause, eyes widening as she feigns surprise. "Oh, right, you have none..."
She smiled at Tyzias and Corrin.
"Of course it was on me. Fear controls our lives. When you manipulate the fear in people's hearts, you can get them to accept anything."
She looked at all of them as they asked those questions, before closing her eyes.
"Let me regale you with a tale. The tale of this world's birth."
She started walking amongst the Heroes, going near Kuja and Naomi first.
"There was once a woman named Kalki. You know her as the Goddess of Death. She was faced with a conundrum. She hated living. Life was, ah, painful to her. But more than that, she was afraid of death. How can one exist when they hate life and fear death? Such an existence is nothing but miserable. Thus she sought to make a new world. One where neither death nor life would exist. One where the very concept of existence as we know it would be revoked and changed."
She then stopped next to Vimes.
"This was made possible by her world of birth, Crystallis and by the monstrosity plaguing it, the Calamity from the Skies: Narayana. An entity born from Crystallis's sins, made from the fragments of dead worlds, made from the broken souls of those who had once lived. Narayana was neither alive nor dead, and in an attempt to become whole again, devoured worlds. Thus, Kalki sought to become one with the Calamity. Her goal was to absorb all existence inside her, and recreate the world as she envisioned it."
Taking a few steps forward, she looked down at Frisk.
"She would have succeeded, if not for those called Heroes of Light. Your predecessors. Once useful pawns, they became her very demise. Following her death, the Heroes of Light tried to heal Narayana. And thus from the Calamity, a new world was born. A world where all the broken souls making up the Calamity could find peace and heal. This world is Vaikuntha. And all who died were reborn. Why, Kalki too."
Finally she stopped by Richard and smiled sadly at him.
"Even though she never wanted it. Even though she never desired it. Her burden was to live once more, to fear death again. And not just once, oh no. The cycle of reincarnation is eternal. How many times has she been reborn on this world? She has lost count. How lucky you are, not to remember all your lives..."
She looked at Dante when saying those words before going back to her original position.
"But there was something else... Something that is still here. Is it sorrow? Sadness? Anger? I am not sure. Vengeance, perhaps... Or could it be envy? Perhaps this is why I did it all this way. So I would see by myself your faces crumble in despair as you realize there is nothing you can do. Perhaps I gave you hope I would see that last flicker of hope be crushed by myself. So I would see you suffer just as much as I have."
