"You are saying the Supremes lose their name when they become Supreme because they are no longer ’I’ and instead became ’We’?" Nameless Death asked.
"Yes," the demon said. "We demons, unlike everyone else, still remember the original names of Supremes, but saying that name aloud would bring great danger to anybody who hears their name."
"I see," Nameless Death nodded.
Seeing that he had understood, the demon decided to continue, but before that, it glanced at Zagreus.
It was important that Nameless Death knew all of this information. Knowing the ’Berserker’s’ abilities would help them fight him next time.
Zagreus knew this and he agreed that they should explain everything to Nameless Death, especially now that they were in a partnership.
But there was no way Zagreus could talk about his mother’s—Persephone—knowing how she had ended up.
Even if this story wasn’t related to it, it reminded him of her nonetheless, and brought him great sadness, which was why the demon was the one explaining it.
"After the King and the Queen were killed in the invasion, the dwarven faction took in Persephone and the Blessed of Death."

"After the King and the Queen were killed in the invasion, the dwarven faction took in Persephone and the Blessed of Death.
"Under the influence of the dwarves, Persephone grew into a powerful who could control souls, life, and under specific conditions boost evolution progress.
"As for Blessed of Death...."
The demon sighed as he said.
"You must know Berserker’s personality after having met him. He was, for lack of a better term, a maniac who lusted after blood, death, and war. To fight stronger foes, and grow stronger faster, he learned the Concept of Evolution, which belonged to Persephone’s life element, then, combining it with his own Death, he created Chaos.
"His Chaos had the ability of both, evolution and de-evolution. In some ways, you can see, he surpassed his sister.
"If everything went as it was going, then he would’ve combined the Concept of Chaos and Evolution into Death element," the demon explained.
Nameless Death finally understood why the Chaos Elements in the Site were familiar, yet strange.
They were created by combining Life and Death, instead of the known combination of Death and Void.
"But..." the demon said.
"But?"
"Things suddenly took a turn when the Loved One of Death appeared. He wielded a Death that was far stronger than the Blessed of Death’s Death, and yet unlike Blessed of Death’s Death that was merciless, destructive and bloodthirsty, the Death wielded by the Loved of Death was calm. It carried the Concept of Justice. It punished evildoer and rewarded the people with positive karma,"
the demon continued.
"To Blessed of Death, it was shocking. How could Death, the element of end, love someone who preached peace and justice? He believed his Death, merciless and destructive, was more ’just’.
