I'm new here, so I thought I'd say hello đ. I was going to ask: Do you think if Lucien survived until Absalom was killed, the Corruption would leave him for good?
Hey there, welcome! Just a quick note, this blog is actually not in use anymore, since I moved to @another-darksiders-blog instead. But Iâd still gladly answer your question! :)Â
That honestly depends on the question whether he and Death fought or not, but letâs say that he did hand over the Key instead of refusing it.Â
First of, it was implied that Corruption started to exist the moment Absalom and the Nephilim were slaughtered in Eden. So when you go by that logic, it would make sense that Corruption would be destroyed if you killed itâs source.Â
However, if it also cures the people infected by Corruption is also a good question to consider. We know that the Guardian was capable of destroying Corruption, and that the Rod of Arafel was strong enough to burn it away. @imagine-darksiders has written an amazing fanfic about the human reader using the Rod of Arafel on Lucien in an act to get rid of his corruption, which worked for the biggest part.Â
Another thing to consider is how far the person is corrupted. Iâd like to believe that the more someone is influenced by it, the harder it is to help them get back to normal. In the final moment when Death fights Lucien you can see that Corruption has completely taken control over the angel.
Sooo... To wrap it up, say that Lucien was spared, and that Death went on to kill Absalom, thus destroying Corruption, there IS a chance that those who were corrupted were cured as well. However, the chance also exists that Corruption will find a new champion over time and continue existing.Â
So yeah, just keep beating that feathery asshole with the lightrod until the black ooze leaves his body I guess. Look heâs even holding it out to you!
What do you think? If anyone has other ideas, do feel free to share it!
