Now that that’s out of the way it’s surprising how everything calls towards Diablo 2… Specifically Mephisto quoting a prophecy:
Mephisto: “And the Evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew! Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent, and Terror shall consume they that dwell upon the Earth. The skies shall rain fire and the seas will become as blood! The righteous shall fall before the wicked and all Creation shall tremble before the burning Standards of Hell!”
He may have had delays thanks to misinterpreting the Prophecy to mean Diablo but now he seems on track to fulfilling the Prophecy he is quoting.
For special points he is even possessing the body of the Zakarum Founder(right after we beat him up for getting one over us) for this.
Of course he forgets Rathma’s Prophecy:
“I saw my corpse, and from my mouth crawled Hatred,
A father burned his children on a pyre,
and a mother molded a new age from the ashes,
I saw the weak made strong,
a pack of lambs feasting on wolves,
Tears of blood rained on a desert jewel,
and the way to Hell was torn asunder,
Then came a spear of light, piercing Hatred’s heart,
And he who was bound in chains was set free.”
Add this to the End of Days Prophecy and:
… And, at the End of Days, Wisdom shall be lost as Justice falls upon the world of men.
Valor shall turn to Wrath and all Hope will be swallowed by Despair.
Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all as Fate lies shattered forever.
Mephisto will have his Blue Soulstone pierced by the Spear of none other than Imperius(right as Mephisto tears the border between Sanctuary and Hell asunder) and so the founder of the Zakarum will be freed as the Archangel of Valor turns to Wrath as Mephisto’s Hatred merges with him.
Hopefully us being fed up with the idea of having to face Mephisto a second time in Diablo IV will drive Blizzard to have the Spear of Light pierce Hatred’s Heart onscreen as they introduce the next Expansion(rather than after fighting Mephisto for the 2nd time in Diablo IV) while having Valor turn to Wrath onscreen as the Fans suddenly realize what’s actually going on and get reminded that they fought Mephisto in Vessel of Hatred and don’t need to fight him a second time!
To counter Imperius both Diablo and Baal will consume not only Duriel and Andariel but also their counterparts(Auriel for Diablo and Itherael for Baal) becoming Despair(Diablo) and Death(Baal).
Imperius will die at the Players’ hands as the Final Boss of Diablo IV’s 2nd and final Expansion bringing down Heaven along with him erasing his and Mephisto’s existence(since their combined Soul would go to the Crystal Arch which would have just been destroyed) and Diablo, Azmodan, Belial & Baal will get back to fighting over Hell now that they don’t have Heaven to conquer. Sanctuary will become the sole bastion of Goodness(not that Heaven was exactly Good).
