The Target, as established many times, has died several thousand times, each time ending a cycle.
>soul energies harvestable via inducing negative emotions like rage/sadness
>girls with magic powers destined to fight each other to the horrible death
Soul Charge is harvestable not just from strong emotions and death of others, but from rage and sadness themselves; Soul Charge would be finite if Oric had to wait for more and more people/creatures to enter the Warrens.
Quite convenient that a person keeps becoming resurrected after their inevitable death;One could almost say..... It was meant to be.
It's okay, dear, really.
This is the way it was always meant to be.
Your strong will overtaking me.
Don't cry now, darling.
Set me free.
From the moment we first saw Oric, the first thing he tried to do to us was attempt to aggravate us
Not only is he screwing with us, he has made his dungeon completely like a game, more specifically, a roguelike; complete with unfair RNG
Yet he doesn't want Ciro to die too soon, offering quests, advice, and plot info(reinforcing the game feeling); even going as far to basically tell us not to do anything too stupid, which if followed, would basically "prolong" our inevitable end
Yet at the same time, he has done everything in a way that would be as difficult for us as possible. Both to his amusement, and to our dismay.
But if rage is able to increase Soul Charge, then he is trying his damnedest to get us angry, to no avail so far.
Yet, for a final boss attempting to kill us, he also isn't doing a great job of helping his Siblings...
The Target: You don't know a lot about him either. He changes the most. You only know the others are supposed to kill him. However, you're starting to think this is not true because he is NEVER dead when he reaches you. Oh well. You don't believe in fate much.
Not even Proxxy knows why she is told to kill the Target.
Proxxy would have had little to no chance of winning, which optimally, would have resulted in her death; raising our Soul Charge, and making us stronger, and as cain said
"siblings have a soul thrice as full"(highlighted pink because Cain is pink)
This would only be good for Oric if he was trying to make us stronger, and in turn collect our Soul Charge; which would render the Siblings as little more than glorified punching bags for the Target. In fact, he was DISAPPOINTED when he saw that Proxxy was still alive.
In fact, what reason would Oric have to Imprison Cain for killing the Siblings, if they would just end up going to Ciro anyways? Doing so took Soul Charge which would've gone to the Target and in turn to Oric. As seen before, Soul CHarge can be used for a variety of things, from using your soul as a weapon, to creating things out of thin air, they can be used for literally ANYTHING.
Cain seems to be the only one aware of this fact, and is doing all he can to "not die" because if he does "the Thief will live forever"
YOU are not the thief. The other one is the thief. You remember now. You cannot die here because the thief is going to live forever.
You cannot let the thief live forever.[/center]
So Oric is using Ciro to kill the Siblings and collect their charges(supplemented of course by constant rage and aggravation on Oric's part).
All of this culminates until the Target has passed through enough Dungeon floors, and methodically killed each one of their siblings. Where presumably, Oric would find a way to end the cycle(yet unseen)
It seems that almost every single person which enters the Warrens would at some point die, all except for Oric.
In a dungeon which seemingly leeches the life itself from it's inhabitants, turning them into literal husks of their former (potential) selves; it seems uncanny that Oric would be able to resist Death in a realm so centered around death and rebirth.
Almost as if Oric is prolonging his own life. (WITH OUR HARD EARNED SOUL CHARGE)
Also, the Angels seem to have an accurate way of predicting when someone is about to die.
Yet for Oric, it was an uncertainty; but the Blue Chick apparently held it close enough to truth, meaning under normal circumstances, it would be trustworthy.
To sum this up, Oric is killing the Target, gaining Soul Charge, reviving the Target(continue parts 1-3 ad infinitum), and using this constant cycle of death and rebirth to fuel his own immortality
