You find yourself in Exetior's outworld palace, his simulation, named Blood Temple. It's an empty place, only a dark-red metallic floor, dark-red sky. You see Exetior embarking on a villainous breakdown, speaking to himself all alone. He doesn't notice you yet.

Exetior: "I can shatter the bones of ALL these blunt spearheads in a split second! HECK! They must IDOLIZE ME! Just because I give them a free hand and don't keep them on a short leash! WHY THE HELL AM I PLAYING THE HERO WHEN I CAN FORCE THEM TO WORK FOR ME! I AM A FORMER HIGHEST, I AM THE ARCH-DEMON! THE CHAOS ITSELF HAS MADE ME STRONGER THAN ANY USUAL HIGHEST! I CAN EXTERMINATE THEM ALL!"
