Xemnas talked a whole lot about nothing. He used nothingness as a weapon. He insisted that he was nothing. And perhaps he was right.

Vergil remembered what Xemnas said about Devil Arms, and how they were shaped after the individual’s soul. Or, rather, heart. Frankly, Vergil still didn’t get it. Ostensibly, Xemnas did not have this. So he should not be able to become a Devil Arm, right?

Yes. If Xemnas became a Devil Arm, he would be… nothing.

And so, Vergil grabbed at the nothing that sat upon the throne. And he felt it. He felt nothing.

He opened his hand. A crimson beam appeared just above his palm. Nothingness given form. The Ethereal Blade. Xemnas.

He’d gotten nothing. Just what he needed.
