[Ikki looks at Polka after listening to her answer before he snorts lightly.]
You're really just like Athena. She too wanted to avoid wars in order to prevent the deaths on both sides. But, you see, a new Saint can be trained and formed at any time, Athena, however, is unique. She's the only Goddess willing to defend humanity and not give up to thinking that humans don't deserve to be saved despite how horrible they can get to be.
If a Saint dies it's only a matter of time before a new one fills their position. If Athena dies, even if it's sacrificing herself to stop another God from destroying humanity, there will be nothing left to protect the world should yet another God come to destroy it. And so a situation where there was no war would end in the death of the whole humanity.
[He smirks, a hint of cruelty on it at his own words.]
So I consider it a victory as long as the humanity's survival is guaranteed, which requires Athena to be alive, even at the cost of all the Saints' lives. See? It's not even a matter of how many die or how many fight, but of who is left.
[Ikki doesn't know much -or anything- about music, but even he notices how her name and the name of the count refer to music. How curious.]
I'm not surprised no one would believe them. No matter what, there'll always be people who will believe lies no matter how crazy they are. I don't know if they use mental control or the followers are just stupid.
The same way a person can stop existing. It's a mere cycle of life and death, though probably a universe once it reaches the end of its existence just transforms into a new one. Still I wouldn't consider it the same universe as before.
