Han arruinado la Tierra, dijo tras más o menos un minuto, al tiempo que su mirada volvía a cobrar vida, es decir, regresaba a sus ojos el color de charco espeso que los caracterizaba.

Sin embargo, daba igual lo que dijera, comentó, porque arruinaron todo cuanto consiguieron, y puesto que lo consiguieron todo en una lucha tan agotadora como abyecta, lo arruinaron también todo, porque ellos arruinaban cuanto tocaban, y no dejaron nada sin tocar: hasta la victoria total, conseguir y arruinar, arruinar y conseguir, de esta manera transcurrió la cosa hasta el final victorioso, para ellos ruidosamente victorioso, o para ser exacto: tocar y, por tanto, arruinar y, de este modo, conseguir, o tocar, conseguir y de este modo arruinar, así transcurrió la cosa durante siglos y siglos, ora de forma encubierta, ora sin tapujos ni ambages, ora de manera discreta, ora a lo bruto, pero funcionaba, funcionó durante cientos y cientos de años, siempre de la misma manera, siguiendo el ejemplo de las ratas que atacan a traición, porque, para el triunfo completo y definitivo había que lograr, lógicamente, que el rival, esto es, todo lo noble, excelso y magnífico, de entrada no presentara batalla por motivos internos, no participara en la lucha que provocaría su mera presencia empeñada en buscar un universo humano más equilibrado, para lo cual convenía que no hubiera ningún tipo de lucha, sólo la repentina desaparición de uno de los contrincantes, concretamente, la desaparición permanente de los nobles, excelsos y magníficos de cualquier lucha, de la existencia en general, es más, en el peor de los casos, no lo sabemos, dijo Korin, su aniquilación completa y definitiva, todo por un motivo secreto que salvo ellos mismos nadie comprendía, de suerte que nadie entendía por qué ocurrió, cómo pudo suceder que al día de hoy esos triunfadores que vencieron dando zarpazos a traición dominen la Tierra, que no exista un hueco para ocultar nada ante ellos, porque todo les pertenece, dijo Korin al rit

"Everything's in ruins, everything's been degraded, but I could say that they've ruined and degraded everything, because this is not some kind of cataclysm coming about with so-called "innocent" human aid, on the contrary, it's about man's own judgment over his own self, which of course god has a big hand in, or, dare I say, takes part in, and whatever he takes part in is the most ghastly creation that you can imagine, because, you see, the world has been debased, so it doesn't matter what I say because everything has been debased that they've acquired and since they've acquired everything in a sneaky, underhanded fight, they've debased everything, because whatever they touch, and they touch everything, they've debased; this is the way it was until the final victory, until the triumphant end; acquire, debase, debase, acquire; or I can put it differently if you'd like, to touch, debase and thereby acquire, or touch, acquire and thereby debase; it's been going on like this for centuries, on, on and on; this and only this, sometimes on the sly, sometimes rudely, sometimes gently, sometimes brutally, but it has been going on and on; yet only in one way; like a rat attacks from ambush; because for this perfect victory it was also essential that the other side, that is, everything's that's excellent, great in some way and noble, should not engage in any kind of fight, there shouldn't be any kind of struggle, just the sudden disappearance of one side meaning the disappearing of the excellent, the great, the noble, so that by now the winners who have won by attacking from ambush rule the earth and there isn't a single tiny nook where one can hide something from them because everything they can lay their hands on is theirs, even things that they can't reach but they do reach are also theirs; the heavens are already theirs and theirs are all our dreams; theirs is the moment, nature, infinite silence; even immortality is theirs, you understand?; everything, everything is lost
