The Creator embeds his shovel into the mound of dirt he dug up. "Today marks the final funeral, the final death in this horrid universe." He holds up a simple vase filled with ash.

"You are the last person that Death has claimed. His own son. My apologies that Heaven was too late to save you from such pain, but may this funeral leave your soul at ease, so you may pass peacefully, instead of wandering this universe in suffering."

"Hey Mr. CL- uh, O-6, why is that guy burying a vase in the middle of the street." Helen stopped in her tracks, at what she hoped was a "respectful" distance away.

O-6 folds his arms. "Some sort dumb religious poppycock, Helen. Let us just go back to finding Seven and XoXo so we can figure out our next order of action. :V"

The Creator raises his head to meet the eyes of O-6. "You have come. The two heads of Existence and their demon."

The Creator raises up the vase. "I come to make an appeasement to you. I know that it is in your nature to destroy, Existence. But please listen to me. Have mercy on this poor Heaven. Perfection has been reached. What joys.....please tell me, what joys can you gain from striking this land down?"

"I cannot speak to you in person. For while I am godlike-" The Creator takes a moment to pause. The lights in his eye sockets go out. "I am no god, and thus unable....incapable of arguing my morals and my evidence to you."

"And I hope that this funeral I host for their beloved-" The Creator clacks his jaws as he tries to find the right word. "-friend? Follower? Toy? I do not know XoXo's relation to these beings, but I hope that this funeral will calm their souls."

O-6 pulls out a pistol and aims it at the Creator. "If what's in that vase truly is our team member, then what's more likely? That Seven, who is not here, killed him, or that the clockwork trying to bury his remains ate him and is getting rid of any evidence? :V"

"I cannot trust you all, though most of you have been loyal. A creature with enough power will commit "evil" even when it strives to do nothing but good."
The number of cekekis the Creator has summoned forth buries the gods in their coils. They eat away at their anomalous powers, until there are nothing but animals left behind.

The Creator walks past the annoyed calls of the animals once known as gods. "You'll be mad at me now, but imagine being able to write a book without causing wars, help people without dooming their lives, or being able to speak your thoughts without cults gathering around you. It might be a slice of Heaven for you all. Plus......"
