Answer and Explanation
Answer: Hidden Desire
Explanation: The six answers are Epoch, Renvoi, Iliad, Skald, Enzyme and Dawn. The last of their letters, when read from first to last, spells out ‘hidden’ - while the first of their letters, backwards, spells out 'desire'. A 'Hidden Desire' would be what 'any mortal would lust for'.

It is so wonderful to be back on the air. You know, those murders that got me canceled the first time, that’s all water under the bridge now. It’s really their fault if you think about it. They played the game too well for their own good. Thankfully, I doubt I’ll have another set of contestants quite like them again. And if I do? Well, I think this time they’ll have the common sense to BUZZ IN when they know. Speaking of… it seems like you’ve buzzed in yourself. I was hoping you would. No. I knew you would. You’re drawn to these types of games, Otherman. We’re cut from the same cloth, after all.
Now that I’m back, I believe it’s time to indulge in some rather ill-intents, don’t you think? It seems only correcto to pick up where I last left off. Where WE last left off. I wasn’t fully expecting there to be a whole new Universe when I got back, but thems the breaks, eh, kid? And what a mess of a Universe it is, too. No offense, Otherman, assuming you had something to do with its design. Did you happen to notice that extra bit off at the end of it? That can’t be right, can it? Unless it’s part of your plan? Or maybe it’s part of his plan. Or maybe it’s part of His plan. Still, sloppy work. If I were to create a new dimension, I wouldn’t have just copied existing mythology.
Not to mention what a mess this must make for quasi-historical-mythological figures. What, are there two of them now? Well, here’s to the hope that canonization fixes things up on the next go-around. Though, I suppose there won’t be another go-around without the big holy Bird, right? Well, clearly, you don’t need Bird to rewind things yourself. But then, I have to wonder, Otherman. How many times would you rewind things to get things right? Mm… dangerous game rewinding things over and over, I’m sure you’re well aware. Canonization is a double-edged sword. Things go up that should go down tend to get cut, even when you really wish they wouldn’t. Though, if you don’t even know about them, what’s the harm, right?
Well—I’ve got new prizes to collect and other Cycles to host in. I’m sure we’ll cross paths again, Otherman. We always do.
