Day 23! I’m early! Today I have something different that's been on my mind for a while. A Theory.

!Zenos is the MC Daemon.!<

Ok, so this is something I've been thinking about for everyone who got to chapter 16 part 2. I’m not sure if I’m not understanding or overthinking, but if someone with the Archetype's power(Arceus’s power) if they can hold and maintain the power the can evolve and keep evolving. But run the risk of becoming a >!Daemon,!< where their mind will break, and what is left of them will become single-minded on fulfilling their goal. And even after they succeed, they’ll keep going, bringing death and ruin until they're stopped or nothing is left.

Now I know that someone might say >!Zenos isn't even trying to follow the plan anymore.!< But I don't think Renegade MC cares about it, or at least not anymore. I think RenMC wants freedom. After being made to destroy a world and people it just spent the better part of a year fighting for, they must now end it.

They erased people, enemies, friends, and even sisters. Now very will that nothing can stop them, not even themselves. Then the boat happens, and let's reframe this. After two of your best friends now distrust you so much they try to leave you behind, twice, and, as far as they know, left you for dead, a three best friend who treats you like a tool gets mad at you for something she did technically. A younger past version of herself. She then trips you into a box inside a boat, and because you showed fear instead of being a perfect weapon, leaves you in there fully conscious for 40+ years to think about how the three people you trusted most left you for worse than dead.

Then, when you're seconds away from being down, the 6 people that trapped you with this role try to stop you, call you a monster, evil, the problem. Even after they had the chance to do this, now that you have to do the hard work, make the decision you already hate yourself for, try to kill you, and you snap, you kill them, take their souls for more power, and you stop being you. You're dead, after so many people used you, betrayed you, looked at you like this was something in your sick mind, and all you wanted to do was be free. Free from the A-Gang, free from Aevium, free from everyone, and then >!Zenos!< is born.

Now, I know we don't know a lot about >!Zenos,!< but when Cloe and Vera said we're different, we could still evolve and risk becoming a >!Daemon!<. That, and Chapter 16 shows that the MC is a person outside of us. This was on my mind. What do you think?
