*Zurg: Humans. You have come.
 	
*Karl: Yes. And of course, the Goddess is not with us.
*Karl: So now can we get you to tell us that truth you promised us?
 	
*Zurg: Very well.
*Zurg: You have made the right choice in coming here.
*Zurg: You shall learn the truth about the four gods you call the Fallen.
*Zurg: First of all, why are you all bent on defeating the Four Fallen Gods?
 	
*Seria: Well, obviously because they are making a mess out of Grand Gaia! Duh!
 	
*Zurg: That is what you heard from Lucius, correct?
 	
*Seria: That's what the Summoners' Hall told us.
*Seria: Well, it wasn't until we actually met Tilith...
*Seria: ...that we really knew it was Lord Lucius saying all that stuff though.
 	
*Zurg: And why do you believe Lucius?
*Zurg: You won't trust the words of gods like us, but you do trust the god Lucius.
 	
*Seria: Because Lord Lucius helped us humans to seek refuge in Elgaia!
 	
*Zurg: All gods were set on destroying the humans.
*Zurg: But among us was Lucius, who sought to save the humans.
*Zurg: Originally, that was something that all gods had to agree on.
*Zurg: But because his pride was too high, he took it upon himself to do all of the work.
*Zurg: But there was a possibility, that all gods could have decided to save the humans in the very end of it all.
*Zurg: However, Lucius stole that possibility, and made himself the sole savior of the humans.
 	
*Karl: I see.
*Karl: In short, there was a chance that you guys could've saved the humans too, but...
*Karl: ...since Lucius decided to do it all by himself, you guys refuse to accept what he did it with good intentions.
*Karl: But what's more important? The possibility of saving someone, or actually saving someone?
 	
*Zurg: Everything is made of possibilities.
*Zurg: At the time, humans were an existence that required obliteration.
*Zurg: Humans kept fighting one another, and the damage they were causing was affecting other life around them.
*Zurg: The gods talked to those who served them countless times, but...
*Zurg: ...instead of seeking to end the strife, humans only sought more power.
*Zurg: Not only did they steal techniques from other worlds, but also hoped to get away with the wisdom of the gods.
*Zurg: The gods punished them for their wrongdoings, but unchanging, the humans committed the same sins over and over again.
*Zurg: Therefore, according to those sins, the gods' judgment called for the destruction of the human race.
*Zurg: Just look at this country.
*Zurg: An island that floats thanks to otherworldly techniques.
*Zurg: This once great country now covered by a forest bewitched through the forbidden knowledge of the gods' wisdom.
*Zurg: The gods judged the humans based on the idiotic things that they carried out.
 	
*Seria: ......
 	
*Karl: So, you say you want our help...
*Karl: ...but listening to what you just told us doesn't make me want to help you one bit.
 	
*Zurg: Mortal. Do not rush things.
*Zurg: I have yet to reveal the truth to you.
*Zurg: The god that you really must defeat is Lucius himself.
 	
*Seria: But why?! Why would we destroy the god that saved all humans?!
 	
*Zurg: After the war between the humans and the gods, after the humans of this land were brought to ruin...
*Zurg: Grand Gaia was about to lose its ruler.
*Zurg: The Holy Emperor Karna Masta was wounded in the war...
*Zurg: ...and even now continues to hide this.
*Zurg: The fact that humans attempted to bring him back from the dead.
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Zurg: However, that's nonsense too.
*Zurg: Because Lord Karna Masta is one of the gods that chose to destroy the human race.
 	
*Paris: What?!
*Paris: If that's true...then...
 	
*Zurg: When Lord Karna Masta went into hiding...
*Zurg: ...the next in line with the power to take control over this land...
*Zurg: ...was Lucius.
*Zurg: Lucius overthrew Lord Karna Masta's rule, and began using the other gods as he wished.
*Zurg: Those who refused to join him, starting with my master, Afla Dilith...
*Zurg: ...are the ones you call the Four Fallen Gods.
*Zurg: Those who did not want to bend to Lucius's selfish will are the ones you call "Fallen" with such contempt.
 	
*Seria: ......
 	
*Zurg: However, in the last stages of the great war, Lucius fought a creature who robbed him of a great amount of power.
*Zurg: During that opening, Master Afla Dilith and the others began to fight for their right to rule that land.
*Zurg: The war was so extreme that the collateral damage spread to many species of the land.
*Zurg: However, that was all in the hopes of returning the world to its original state.
*Zurg: Because the dictatorship that Lucius had carried out could not be tolerated.
 	
*Lugina: Tsch, so that's how it happened...
 	
*Zurg: Maxwell, Cardes, and Zevalhua were all destroyed by you.
*Zurg: Now, Master Afla Dilith is the only left that can restore the world to its rightful state.
*Zurg: Humans.
*Zurg: I will grant you time.
*Zurg: I am still unsure as to how you judge you foolish things.
*Zurg: I will be waiting at Adan's Tower, which stands at the ends of this land.
*Zurg: Choose wisely...
*Zurg: ...whether you will choose to take part in feeble Lucius's future.

*Seria: ......
 	
*Lugina: Grr...
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Karl: Heh, even though all he does is call us stupid, he sure did explain all that quite nicely.
*Karl: Either way, from now on it's up to us to judge his story.
*Karl: First, we have to go meet the Goddess, since she's waiting up ahead.
*Karl: And although Zurg may not attack us here and now...
*Karl: ...there are pretty nasty monsters already lurking around here.
 	
*Seria: That's right. And I'm itching for a bit of a fight.
 	
*Seria: I don't care who it is, I'll beat the snot out of them!
 	
*Seria: That's how I feel right now.
 	
*Karl: Hahaha. Seria, that's just like you.
 	
*Karl: Well, .
*Karl: Let's get out of here and meet back up with the Goddess!
*Karl: We can tell her everything once we get to her.
