Scorn of the Divine (Locked Thread With Onato)

Unlike Fuwa, his predecessor, Onato was a careful God. He liked to take a close look on those he was interested, be it in a good way or in a bad away. Rutaba, the saiyan was one example of a person he had in a good light, while Demalia, the half-demon, was person he saw in a bad light mostly because of her demon heritage, but also because of her interest in modifying herself. The Grand Kaioshin feared the demons would rise in power again, even those who were Halflings, so it was about time he would pay her a visit. With a serious expression on his face, he releases his power from his Crystal Ball and put both his hands behind his back, sighing deeply. ”Kai Kai.” he pronounced.

Then, in an instant, he vanished from the Sacred World of the Kais and reappeared on Planet Plant. To be precise, he appeared inside a hangar where a Tuffle ship called The Triad was, right in front of the Halfling demon girl he was taking a close look on. He didn’t try to be sneaky this time; seemed like these mortals were commonly finding a way to detect his energy source, so he thought maybe he should work on remembering how to suppress it, but it would be very troublesome for now, so he would let it go for the time being. Once he appeared in front of her, he cracked a smirk with his mouth only, as his dark, almond-shaped eyes remained quite serious.

”Quite the specimen you are. But, nonetheless, you still seek to improve yourself. I demand to know why.” his words were cold, but they had enough of a bossy tone in it.

Onato felt some satisfaction when he scared the hybrid demoness there, it was a little victory, even though he didn’t show any trace of it in his cold and mysterious dark eyes. Still, she refused to answer his questions, openly defying a God and that was something that required punishment, especially because her race already made her half-guilty of any offence, even if driven by sheer ignorance of who was standing in front of her. She dared ask questions to him and, if it was any other person, he would be far kinder and understanding, but this was not the case and when she said those words the smile on Onato’s face vanished completely and he moved far too quickly, slapping her face with the back of his hand. If her perception was high enough, she would notice a sudden and absurdly quick spike in his power, but it was way too fast to pinpoint just how much.

The slap wasn’t enough to break her, but it would hurt and probably throw her to the ground. ”You will be silent and obey! Who do you think I am, girl?!” and his tone was very harsh now. ”You demons… Always defying the gods. I will not tolerate any further disobedience or insubordination, girl. You will tell me now why do you seek power and I will judge whether I’m willing to allow this or not.” he said with a cold expression on his face.

Onato was holding his inner anger and hatred; he hated demons with all his heart and it was the war against that race what led to the near total extinction of the Kaioshins of Universe 6, and he wasn’t going to allow that to occur ever again. This girl may be innocent on her own, but to the Grand Kaioshin, the sins of her blood were too much to be so easily forgiven.

The girl was scared and that was good. Gods are supposed to be feared and respected and he would rather have it this way, especially from a hybrid demoness like Demalia. But the girl was smart and decided to be collaborative and Onato remained serious, listening to what she had to say, with a judgmental and harsh look on his dark eyes. Ocyrians were a problem indeed, they were like universe seven saiyans, and Onato didn’t quite like them or their ways, but they weren’t very problematic for the time being, so he could afford to let it slide.

”Solon had it coming for him, what did you expect? Demons have no place in this dimension and should remain in Makai, where they belong for all their crimes against creation and the gods. Appa was foolish to mix herself with the likes of your father, and thus, you are a spawn of a demon, a scourge of creation.” he paused for a second, as his eyes grew colder. ”Tainted… By the blood and sacrifice of your own deities. I care not for your revenge, but if you think I’m willing to allow a demon spawn to grow strong, you are wrong. You want revenge… This is enough to tell me your heart, as a demon, is filled with evil.” with those words, Onato released his true power, but didn’t flare any aura; it was like his power was just restrained within his body.

”Now, what do you want to do, girl? Do you know who I am? Are you thinking right now that I have to right to judge you?” he asked her.

There she went again, on this Illusive Man. Onato already had tabs on him and was watching him carefully, but he wouldn’t share this piece of information with this demon girl. She claimed to want justice, but how could her demon heart want that? How could it even know what justice was, when their very existence was an offense to justice and righteousness? Onato didn’t know nor trust her words yet and it was only further irritating the God of Creation. But she was speaking the truth about sparing the murderers of her parents, and that bugged him to no end when he watched her from his crystal ball. What was she plotting? Could she be playing them for a greater scheme? But then it struck him when she said Taion could vouch for her.

Onato seemed confused for a short moment, but then he realized she was the one being played by the Illusive Man and that made his mysterious expression to return to his face. ”I get it now. She is a foolish girl.” he thought to himself and that sudden realization was very disappointing; truth be told he was actually enjoying the thought of erasing a demoness after so many years. The anger was still very much alive inside of him. However, before he could think more she answered his question, saying she wasn’t sure he could judge her and that made him scoff. ”Girl. I’m the one judging the judge of the dead. I can judge any of you mortals. And yes, your father was right, the demons lost a war. I made sure they would lose because I fought on that war and I erased as many demons as I could, as it is my duty as the Supreme God of this Universe.” his tone was cold, be it seemed honest enough.

He noticed the distress in her tone and that was reassuring as it meant that she was probably speaking the truth about her intentions. Onato sighed deeply and then he spoke again. ”Well… At least you managed to convince me you are not vile, just stupid. And as far as I know, stupidity is not such a serious crime. On top of that, I feel your work can actually come into benefit of this world and this is something I can look with good eyes.” he said, pausing briefly. ”I’m watching you, demon girl, but for now you managed to save your soul.” he added.

Onato chuckled a bit with her question and mused about it for a second: Did she really think he would come here already ready to kill her without talking to her first? What did she think he was? It was interesting how the mind of mortals worked and he couldn’t help but to feel intrigued about them; their brief lives were so intense, in a way no Kai could ever fully understand, no matter how much godly knowledge they had and that was precisely the reason they couldn’t just go on a rampage, destroying everything they initially thought could be troublesome.

”I came here to judge you, not to kill you. I’m a God of Creation, foolish child, not one of Destruction, but worry not, the later exists too.” he said, pausing briefly. ”But you are a demon, one way or the other, you are part of a condemned race who dared to work against the gods and that I cannot overlook. So… I’ve got my eyes on you. Mislead your path, and you will surely face punishment. I’m harsher on you than on others because your blood carries sins that are unforgivable.” he said, trying to explain as clear as possible what was his position on that matter.
