| “ | Evil? No... Visionary! I feel power building inside me. I see a world that only I can create. It was Azmuth who thought me flawed. He gave me the name Malware. But I am not the flawed one. It is all the rest that are inferior. They bend and stretch, mimic and manipulate only what others have created. I do not upgrade other's creations, they upgrade me! And I will upgrade myself with Azmuth's greatest creation. | „ |
