The Muzzle of Nemesis

"Now, repent"

- Nemesis Sudou

The Muzzle of Nemesis is a song released by Akuno-P on August 8,  2014. It is part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, depicting Wrath, and is planned to be included in a new album with the same name.

Plot
The song begins with Nemesis Sudou approaching a man and pointing her gun at him. She thinks of her mother as she recalls all the events that led to her seeking revenge against the man. Saying goodbye to "Mr. Pere Noel", she offers him the choice of dying by the fire burning the house or a gunshot. Nemesis then proposes he give back his entire fortune to be spared, only for the man, Gallerian Marlon, to snap that he wouldn't do so. Thinking back on her childhood, Nemesis notices the man comforting his Doll and declares him mad, remarking on how the man's true daughter died long ago. Bidding her father farewell, she wonders why her mother loved such a man as she prepares to shoot him.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Nemesis is the goddess of vengeance in Greek mythology.
 * Prior to the song's announcement, mothy posted a poem entitled "Nemesis" with allusions seemingly reflecting characters, places, or events in the Evillious Chronicles; at the end of the poem, mothy stated it was a late night work and didn't have any meaning.
 * The term used for muzzle can also mean "gun point", referring to the barrel of a revolver; it can also mean to threaten someone with a gun.
 * On twitter, mothy posted a twit sound titled "the muzzle of a gun", featuring an instrumental sample for a future song; the sample itself uses a different instrumental from The Muzzle of Nemesis.
 * The revolver used in the song is based on the design of a Colt Python revolver.

Curiosities

 * The song is planned to be included along with nine other songs in an album of the same name planned to be released at the summer Comic Market 2014.
 * At the beginning of the song PV, a timeline involving the birth of Hänsel and Gretel, the Levianta Catastrophe, and all the major events involving the Seven Deadly Sins leading up to the song is rushed through.
 * Towards the climax of the song PV,  the screen flashes phrases and images related to other existing or upcoming songs; the phrases include "And Then the Girl Went Mad", "Abandoned" twice, "The Last Revolver", "Judgment of Corruption", and "Master of the Hellish Yard".
 * Similar to the Judgment of Corruption PV, after Ma appears, a tunnel is being fallen through towards the end, with five colored rings along the tunnels of the walls; each ring is the color of the Deadly Sin representing it, excluding greed and wrath, and appears in the song series' chronological order.
 * Humorously, mothy admitted he had uploaded the song on August 8th, the eighth day of the eighth month of the year, by pure coincidence, not noticing the date til shortly before he posted it; Nemesis, the song's central character, just so happens to have the codename "Eight".
