:
Ah. It appears you have caught yourself in a logical paradox, regnator omnium dei. It was your goal as trickster gods to regress your residents to their larval states, and for those still in their larval states, accelerate them to their most mature.
You failed to realize, however, the cyclical nature of time. Without light to cast a shadow, darkness cannot exist. Without darkness to contrast bright, light cannot exist. With neither darkness nor light, existance is nulled. That is my purpose, that is my existance. The entities you knew as Mephiles and as Iblis, the shadow and the light, are but children themselves. By accelerating their growth, they have matured into existance itself.
Into time myself. Concurrently, they are my children, having barely existed a decade of linear mortal time. Had you rewound the clock, they would have reverted to how they were before they were 'created' - namely, myself. They are my larval form. I am their mature form. Whichever way you swung the hands of the clock, the result would have been the same.
I do not believe I need to punish the sinful in this world. You are doing that quite sufficiently, regnator omnium dei. Likewise, I shall not physically punish you or your world. I believe that the physical removal of two of your playthings is more than punishment enough for your own transgressions upon me.
I must thank you for restoring my form, however. Now allow me to slumber once more outside of your demense.
Vicis est mobius, sol solaris mos orbis luna. Vacuus sol solaris, vicis mos subsisto.
[[And now you see why I waited until after the curse started to retire Mephiles. JUST AS PLANNED </deathnote>]]
