*Set's metal body withstood the attacks Aeon dealt. Aeon still did not understand, but he would in time. As this form of Set was moved to the temple, something happened. The Dark Lord's evil voice began laughing as Aeon kept punching. As he walked back, Set spoke.

"You didn't believe you could really hurt me - did you?"

*With but a thought, Aeon's stomach exploded. The blood and body-parts from within spilled out upon the floor. It was a fatal blow, but the death would be slow. The stomach acids began to eat away at Aeon's own flesh, his screams were music to Set's eternal ears. The black holes in The Iron Crown's mask of horror simply looked down upon Aeon with a cold emotionless malice. Suddenly, as if done by an unseen force, Aeon's tounge was torn from his body. More blood spilled upon the floor.

"Now that I have you where you cannot move or talk - hear me and be silent! Hear me and understand. You attacked me because I allowed you to attack me. You pushed me from my Fortress because I allowed you to push me from my Fortress. Understand Aeon that here I am whole........here, I am God."

*Again, in a flash - Aeon, Angel, and Set's form all stood in the same room of the Pandemonium Fortress as they stood but a few moments before. Aeon was completely healed, as if nothing had happened (with the excpetions of the small slits caused by Set's claw marks on his throat).The walls were whole and Angel was talking to Aeon. It seemed as if Set had reversed time. However, all of them knew what happened. Set did not move back time - he simply healed Aeon, repaired his Fortress, and moved all three of them back into the room within the blink of an eye. The Dark Lord looked down at the two. But he spoke to Aeon.

"There is no life in the Void......no life in me.......in the Void, there is only death. Attempt to attack me again, and she will suffer for your arrogance this time - not you."

*Set allowed a few moments to time to pass, as if to let his words sink into Aeon's mind. Suddenly, within the blink of an eye - they were all in a different room. It was a titanic circular room with arches and thrones all around. They were within the very heart of the Fortress.....they stood in the Throne Room of all Evil. Each throne was in place for each Hell-God and Demon Lord. This was the room where all the masters of Darkness met to obey Set's will. This room was empty now with the exception of these three. Set stood with his back to the "Great Portal" which led straight into the purely spiritual realm where Set's true form could exist in full. Once one passed through the portal, the physical body shed itself away and only the soul remained. The Dark Lord's empty "eyes" never left Aeon or Angel. It was then his black echoing voice began talking again.

"My patience with you Exhaulted grows thin......Speak!!! Why are you here?"
