The god of mercy is the very god that chooses between life and death for every human, Some would appeal to the god of mercy and beg to live longer. He shows mercy and grants this for only the ones that have never denied him. The ones that defy him are soon at a end. Notice his bruises, The souls that have gone against him torment him for his own misdeeds. If the souls continue then he will lose all control and the world will be out of balance. He will lose reason, he will lose compassion and more importantly, he will show no mercy to any who stand in the path of his rage.
