[AUDIO - backdated to July 16th]
I'm sure by now that DATS has informed all of you neophytes that I have, at last, made my true, ultimate return to prominence. Yes, I escaped captivity and my own frailty some time ago, but I have at last reawakened as the man I should be.
But I am not the man I was before. No. I am something else entirely. I am not the old Akihiro Kurata, and I shall continue to refer to myself as such for the sake of convenience. I am a composite of him and the being who called himself Astamon... locked and disguised in a disgusting pre-evolution by the so-called god of this world.
Now, we have broken our limits, stripped away our weaknesses, and evolved into a new life-form. My ultimate masterpiece, if you will.
I will tell you this. I will no longer orchestrate elaborate roulettes to rise to power. I have everything I want now - this entire world is my testing ground, and I exist to expand and prove the depths of my brilliance. That is not to say that I will not be pursuing vendettas - no... my hate for all of you is very real.
But I am above you now. And I will show it by using fear and malice as the ingredients to the greatest experiment of all time! I hope you all do your part by resisting, so I can draw it out as long as possible. Wouldn't it be glorious if we could do this forever?
Hehehehe. Oh, yes, I have some people to thank. Daimon Masaru and Yoshino, for all you've done to inspire me. Suguru, for the same. Izumi Koushirou for freeing me from my prison. The Hellfire Gang, for being the best damn co-workers Astamon could ask for. And of course, the Syndicate, who shall be funding my ventures.
IT'S SHOWTIME.
