x3 Action:
Eyowe gets to boosting the LUK stat. He does this by accumulating as many misfortunes as he can into himself for one day by going into a losing streak of gambling, thinking that if he does this now, his luck will be extremely good the day after, or so goes that luck pendulum rebound concept or "good fortune comes after bad luck" or whatever.
There goes the entirety of Eyowe's money, his house, that one potted plant he considered his biological son, that one entire city he doesn't exactly own but he somehow bet anyway, and that one tooth he got from a kid when he played Tooth Fairy, something he did when he also lost a different bet. He also got to experience Russian Roulette without a gun. It is just not the same without one.

Action 1: The black box reverse closes, allowing a heavily (and by that the writer means excessively) robed person wearing a funny mask that seems to be a walrus-pelican hybrid. He also wears a cool hat. Think of a fedora combined with a party hat combined with a bicycle helmet. He holds his hands right in front of his face and taps his fingers together, obviously scheming something. High pitched words escape from behind the mask. "Yes, yes of course. It's just as I suspected..." The masked person fails to elaborate on what he expected. He instead begins to mutter an odd chant. "O.h R.elease I.ncarcerated G.enuinely I.ndisputable N.onsense. O.h R.elease I.ncarcerated G.enuinely I.ndisputable N.onsense." As he continues to say these... powerful?... words, the lazy, unfocused walrus-pelican eyes of his mask begins to glow, the left eye glowing an eerie purple, the right glowing light teal. The unfocused lights condense into two beams and then collide with each other. The two lights start to twist and twirl about, seemingly incapable of mixing into one color. The twisting beam takes a quick turn and speeds towards... the Servitude Robot... Regardless of the target, as the beams catch up with the surprisingly quick robot, they once again spread out into two distinct flashes of color. The colors cascade around the robot, making it impossible to avoid the seeing them. However, the slightest glance is all that's necessary.
The Servitude Robot is thrust into its "robotic" mind. It sees itself in the third person. It looks afraid. Robots aren't used to looking into themselves. That's what programmers are for. However, it isn't truly this new perspective that scares the Servitude Robot's inner self. Instead, it is the massive, light teal gamma pelican and pensive, purple walrus... Actually, it might be the third person "in my mind" bit. Pelicans and walruses... they're interesting, sure, but not exactly scary... Maybe its the gamma bit... Giant monster pelican... yeah, that's still not too scary...
Never mind what's scaring the robot! The pelican lets out a great screech and leaps at the comparatively insignificant Servitude Robot. The Servitude Robot quickly runs from the pelican, obviously capable of such simple feats. This enrages the pelican. As it opens its great beak, the beak rapidly grows. The pelican swiftly scoops up everything within the mindscape, including the Servitude Robot and the pensive walrus. Everything is trapped in complete darkness. The Servitude Robot nervously searches around for a light source, maybe even turning on any lights "the Architects installed". Regardless, the Servitude Robot doesn't have to wait for very long to find a light source. The purple walrus blinks five times and its eyes are filled with a purple light. The walrus gives out a low, gargled roar. Giant tusks begins to sprout from just about everywhere in the pelican's beak. All of the tusks extend out and fly at the Servitude Robot, who continues to dodge like a madbot. However, the tusks begin to bend about, each one turning about and twisting in ways that shouldn't be possible for any type of tooth. The Servitude Robot continues to run about, somehow avoiding each of the tusks. However, the tusks were never meant to hit it. Were they trying to hit the robot? Yes. But, their real purpose was always simple. The Servitude Robot finds itself in a cage build of Walrus Tusk. It tries to use its immense speed to somehow break through the tusks, but continuously finds new tusks behind each one.
As the Servitude Robot attempts to escape its prison, a new agent enters the cage. A glowing depiction of the robed, masked person with a cool hat appears in the cage. Its right side shines a light teal. It's left takes on a purple light. "I know who you are. There is no escaping this. It would be easier if you just... stopped." With those words, the masked person throws his left hand forward, as if cuing the Servitude Robot to speak. However, the Servitude Robot never gets the chance. The person's right hand clenches into a fist. Small holes appear in the walls of the cage. Spikes of tusk slowly slide toward the Servitude Robot. The masked person disappears. The Servitude Robot gives out a loud squeal. It all stops.
The Servitude Robot opens its eyes and is back inside of The Wall. It tries to move around, but finds itself stuck. It looks to its left and sees walrus tusk spikes stabbed into its metal limbs. It to it right, looks at its feet, and looks at it neck, every time finding ivory spikes keeping it from moving. The Servitude Robot finally looks upwards and sees, towering over it, the masked person, a knife in his right hand. "Oh great Nonsense, purge this world of this fiendish being!" The Servitude Robot tries to muster all of its strength, but finds its wires fried from its journey through its own mind. The masked person throws his arm down, thrusting the knife into the Servitude Robot.
The person lets go of the knife and turns away from the Servitude Robot. He raises his high pitched voice for all to hear and proclaims,
"Friends, allies, associates! While you may not all see the true Nonsense that rules overall, I beg you to see this. This "robot" is a vessel of great power! I know you may think this mad. My vessel, this box, did not see it at first. Look at how pathetic it is! Nothing of power could be this useless, this helpless. However, there is more to this "Servitude Robot" than we imagine. Think about it. This "robot" was able to create 500,000 Player Power worth of food! It may be argued that it was the box's doing, but that changes nothing. This "robot" still possessed the ability to create it. And now, just last turn, this "robot" shows that it is capable of teleportation and absurdly fast speeds. It has a reaction. Who's to say it doesn't have more?
Now, I do realize that you all know what I am insinuating. I think Ranger_Strider said it best turn one. The Godmodder may still be here. In fact, he may still be this "Servitude Robot"! May I be wrong? Yes. But, regardless, this Robot is more powerful than any of us may think it to be!"
Action 2 & 3: With that said, the masked man mumbles his chant again, ever so slightly changing it. "Oh Release the Incarcerated and Genuinely Indisputable Nonsense." He repeats this a few times. A symbol appears near the top of The Wall. The symbol is a simple half-circle with its top oriented to be flat. At the left and right of the half-circle is a single line. The symbol lets off a familiar light teal and purple glow. Everyone under the glow of this symbol starts to feel stronger. They feel invigorated by powers of random origin. Whenever they hit something, they feel a random surge of magic rush through them, summoning the power of the mighty walrus and the determined pelican. While these two beasts may seem to be weak and pathetic, they truly hold the keys to the animal kingdom.
With all of these religious shenanigans completed, the masked person walks into the black box, which then reverse opens.
Action Summary:
Action 1: Continue attacking the Servitude Robot.
Action 2 & 3: Boost STR.

OOC: Pretty sure Alastair is busy right now. Also pretty sure the Heir, my character, has nothing better to do next round, so if it isn't a specific thing about wanting to fight Al, I am game.

The Destroyer
YES! YES! Okay I am way happier about getting to save morpheus than I thought I would be I actually cheered when I read that.
Anyways, action overviews for when I have computer access tomorrow:
1: Piono looks up at Morpheus's heartless and nobody. He can't help but smile in spite of himself. Maybe there might just be a little bit of hope remaining in the darkness. And if nothing else the Godmodder is going to pitch an unholy hissy fit when he finds out we undid the massive project charge his soul orb self spent all of the time we were dead working on by using cheese synergy between a pair of items we had lying around. Yes, that sounds quite nice honestly, all the more reason to bring back one of those tiny sparks of divinity that reality will need if it is to have any hope of recovering once the Godmodder is dealt with.
With that in mind, he walks into the midst of the pink mist and opens up his mind. The pink mist begins flowing in... and then keeps flowing in. The nobody and heartless are confused at first, and then panic. Piono cleared his mindscape completely during that little bit of character development, removing all his own hopes and dreams to replace them with cold, consuming resolve. With the absence that was once his illusory mindscape opened up, the dream energy flows in to where there used to be dreams and nightmares of the soul, only to be consumed within the empty depths that house only a single goal: to see the Godmodder taken down at whatever final costs need be expended. A little bit of dream mist is a sacrifice that can be made.
2: Piono then looks over at the temple of gains. It's looking pretty worn out. An ordinary gym, even one that somehow managed to accomplish the advertiser's holy grail of being enshrined in ancient legend and lore, is not really much of a match for the kind of training a Player needs to undergo to bulk up. That's okay though, really. Piono just needs the abstract mechanical bonuses the gym gives, so he whips out his wallet and buys the entire thing and ordering all of the employees and straggling bodybuilders out of the building. What Piono does next is probably going to have a large blast radius and it's likely best to clear out that area, just in case any of the people in the gym were actually people instead of just player power constructs doomed to frozen oblivion.
Then he enters the temple. It's time to solidify his position as the master of power, someone capable of dealing hundreds of trillions of damage every round just by looking at something sideways is not one to be looked down upon... And Piono needs to make sure everyone knows that. So he's going to do what every self-respecting overpowered RPG final boss (he may technically not be a final boss but he does have the multiple hour long cutscene attacks so he can pass as one if needed) does and acquire a few boss subtitles.
First off, he owns the temple of gains. As the rightful owner of this temple, that makes him its god.
Piono: God of Gains.
Additionally, he's gone through major character development recently, that needs some attention as well.
Piono:self-conscious Metacognizant God of Gains.
This, of course, isn't enough. For another thing, it says nothing about Piono's penchant for pulling bullcrap supermoves out of his butt, so that goes in too.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains.
We still have a few steps further to go, such as the elemental mastery he still retains despite losing his artifacts a while back.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains and Master of All Elements.
Not to mention totally obliterating entire planets worth of terrain with each uber attack.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains and Apocalyptic Master of All Elements.
Finally, the Godmodder technically killed him once before during the events in the Bank of Actions but Piono didn't stay dead, technically meaning he's in his second phase.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains and Apocalyptic Master of All Elements. Phase 2: Electric Boogaloo.
What hold on the phase wasn't supposed to get its subtitle yet. Oh well, it's locked in, too late now.
Piono, having mostly run out of ideas, shrugs and locks in his boss intro screen. Unfortunately he left auto-preview on so the text of the subtitles immediately fills up the screen and the sheer pretentiousness of it all causes the temple of gains to finally give its last and explode violently as all things in the world of DefTG are wont to do upon expiration. Even expired milk explodes around here honestly, it's a good thing that kind of stuff is just flavor text and doesn't damage other things too.
3: It's time for me to use the number 2. Now, Moniker forewarned me against using it on the Godmodder. That would be a fool's errand obviously, at best I could deal 2 damage to him, and for even that I'd need to somehow acquire a subtraction symbol. Far more effort than it's worth really.
No, I'm going to do something even worse
I take the 2, shrink it down to a slightly smaller size than before, and carefully glue it to the top right corner of the power equation of the player power source tracking, like so:
The mathematically inclined among you might recognize this as a method for denoting exponential increase without the use of symbols, and in that you would be correct.
As per the powers granted the 2 by the nature of my wish, I can put the 2 anywhere in the end of round update, I just don't get other numbers or symbols with which to add, subtract, or similar antics. But of course, exponents don't need other symbols or numbers, so without further ado:
Current player power is multiplied by itself. Hopefully perpetually but I dunno how long the 2 will stick.
1 CP used: I hop into the arena. I will take on all contenders that are willing to fight me (as a side note, does this eat up all of my actions for the two rounds? I hope not. If it does, and at least one other person is willing to fight me I'll still do it though. I wanna beat people up, it's been a while since I've had a good strife.)

The quiet watcher
Verified Old One
The quiet watcher uses his ability to manipulate gravity to throw himself on top of Suppressor bot B, whereupon he began looting it down to the original frame, taking everything of value and use as he disassembled it. The Soulrazer summoner device was especially useful in his eyes, so he took the most care on keeping it intact as he continued in taking it apart.
With no drive to do any paperwork after the CoR decided to sit on it for a while, I look for the next best option. Pulling out a computer from my robes, I immediately start compiling these past three turns of training and shenanigans and once again formed the guide of OPTIMAL STRATS, but this time version 2.0!
Focused Action: So we need to draw away Morpheus' lingering Dream powers? Sounds like a challenge.
I taunt both aspects of Morpheus. Then, I take a nap and enter a dreamstate. The now-enraged aspects of Morpheus will both be drawn to attack me with their powers, but I can simply absorb their energy. It's not that hard to resist mental attack shenanigans, at least when you're ready for them. They try again, but I absorb more energy. They keep trying to attack, but I keep eating all of their energy. Eventually, they figure out that my mental resists vastly outstrip their attacks, and try to pull out, but I've closed the exits of my dreamworld, trapping them here until they burn a ton of dream energy to escape.

You forgot about armor, I think the offhand slot, and the possibility of him being covered in arrows poking out every which way.
Sure, it's all pretty minor, but it means you might be technically incorrect.

Moniker Can we just make this a battle royale thing if we want? I think it would be more fun.Okay then I will fight you next turn
She/Her
I offer to fight Ender_Smirk DanganMachin and pionoplayer since they are all in the Arena. While waiting, I start eating a lot of food, boosting my energy. (Hopefully, anyway)
Ah, I see, there's a dam that must be built! Fortunately, I have concrete in the droves.
While totally not just adapting the Hoover Dam's design to the local river I get to work. By duplicating myself and shapeshifting into various construction vehicles I get to work on building the Intex Dam. Spatial warping also helps make up for any minor mistakes.
Once the Intex Dam is finished it not only restricts the flow of the local river but also provides another benefit, energy. By using turbines refined with technology from a space faring nation the amount of hydroelectric produced is truly insane. Seriously, there's enough electricity available that taxes based on power could be cut in half without much issue and the energy surplus could easily attract more and more people. (x3)

Paradoxdragonpaci
Schrödinger’s Dragon
(x1)I gaze vacantly at the Arena Fight while eating popcorn before moving on to continuing to drain Morpheus's Heartless's and Nobody's Dream Power,i first begin by listening to very appropriate music.
First,we need to get a way to suck out their Dream Power,I utilise the Awesome Music and begin sleeping.In my Mindscape,the Solar System,i enlist the help of 4 familiar Gods to assist me,i then enter the Dream World by exiting by Mindscape with the 4 Heroes.Looking around,I see that the Heartless and Nobody of Morpheus are creating a significant pull at the fabric of it,it isn't much for me,but it made the 4 Gods stumble a bit before getting back up.I then fly the 5 of us towards the Presences and get their attention,the 4 Gods and I then begin working in tandem in a Custom Fraymotif,i then begin pulling on my own power from the 2 Shards that now make up my Being,and Paradigm Breaker.John Egbert,the Heir of Breath begins dislodging the Presences from their positions in that way only the Breath Aspect can,Rose Lalonde,the Seer of Light,tells John where to bring the Presences to as well as inform me where the projectiles they are sending at us are so i can dodge them.Jade Harley,the Witch of Space,shrinks those that i cannot dodge into tiny particles that she immediately sends back at the Presences and Dave Strider,the Knight of Time,uses Time to create Temporal Echos of himself to further distract the Presences.In this way,the 2 Presences are led to the Metaphorical Doorstep of my Mindscape at which i activate my Weapon,a Modified version of Luigi's Ghost Vacuum Machine which works on Dream Entities as well.The 2 Presences are now trapped in it's pull and are being constantly drained of their Dream Energy.

First,we need to get a way to suck out their Dream Power,I utilise the Awesome Music and begin sleeping.In my Mindscape,the Solar System,i enlist the help of 4 familiar Gods to assist me,i then enter the Dream World by exiting by Mindscape with the 4 Heroes.Looking around,I see that the Heartless and Nobody of Morpheus are creating a significant pull at the fabric of it,it isn't much for me,but it made the 4 Gods stumble a bit before getting back up.I then fly the 5 of us towards the Presences and get their attention,the 4 Gods and I then begin working in tandem in a Custom Fraymotif,i then begin pulling on my own power from the 2 Shards that now make up my Being,and Paradigm Breaker.John Egbert,the Heir of Breath begins dislodging the Presences from their positions in that way only the Breath Aspect can,Rose Lalonde,the Seer of Light,tells John where to bring the Presences to as well as inform me where the projectiles they are sending at us are so i can dodge them.Jade Harley,the Witch of Space,shrinks those that i cannot dodge into tiny particles that she immediately sends back at the Presences and Dave Strider,the Knight of Time,uses Time to create Temporal Echos of himself to further distract the Presences.In this way,the 2 Presences are led to the Metaphorical Doorstep of my Mindscape at which i activate my Weapon,a Modified version of Luigi's Ghost Vacuum Machine which works on Dream Entities as well.The 2 Presences are now trapped in it's pull and are being constantly drained of their Dream Energy.

The Truth: The Truth about Arbiters
Chapter 5: The Truth about Arbiters
Before the Architects passed away (Chapter 6), they realized they would need some manner of successor. After all, what other way could the massive number of incredibly powerful forces in Reality be kept in check, to ensure none grew to critical mass? So, before they died for good, the Architects appointed 5 people to a specific task: The Arbiters. They were Farrah, Moniker, and three others.
Their job was simple. Great battles, wars, activities of all the stronger forces in Reality, would be watched over by them. For example, the Godmodder vs. Player war generally always had two Arbiters assigned to watch over it, at least at the start. They were to no group gained power potent enough to threaten all Reality, and that no one singular entity gained a monopoly on all power. They did not have absolute power, certainly - but enough to make them a formidable check on anyone who did wish to gain absolute power.
The specific power of the Arbiters was variable. The Architects installed a lever on the Administrative Terminal meant to control the Arbiter's power - it went from 0 to 100%, and they set it to 20% initially. At 100%, the Arbiters would have power almost equivalent to the fully alive Architects. At 0%, the Arbiters would be able to do absolutely nothing but observe, and not give any nudges in any either side's favor. In addition, the life energy that keeps the Arbiters alive is drawn using their power - if the lever were set to 0% for too long, then the Arbiters would slowly run out of this energy and eventually would perish.
In addition, the Arbiters were also given a limited number of emergency overrides, for if they made a mistake and things reached a point from which there may have been no recovery. The Architects knew there needed to be some way to make adjustments after they were gone, in the event of an emergency. The lever and emergency overrides were their answer.
Once the Architects had perished, the Arbiters were all initially eager to fulfill their duties. As time went by, their styles of governance over their wars became more unique and pronounced. Moniker adopted a policy of interfering as little as possible, Farrah tried to do good where they could (with varying results) and the other three, more and more, simply did as they pleased, uncaring of the consequences.
Eventually, their differences came to a head. The three villainous Arbiters conspired behind the backs of Moniker and Farrah, eventually forming their own council. They used majority vote to override Moniker and Farrah in all collective decisions, and ultimately, declared their goals to all Reality: They believed themselves to be Reality's best and only masters! They wanted to increase Arbiter Power to 100%, and oust Moniker and Farrah. They named themselves the "New Architects" - a willing defamation of the former memory of the Architects!
And so a long and bloody war began - the Arbiter War. Many armies from all parts of Reality rose up against the New Architects, and set out to overthrow them! The battles were intense - often, they were not fought between two armies, but rather, between one army and simple objectives, made nearly impossible by the New Architects' abuse of their own influence. Moniker and Farrah attempted to push circumstances towards their own side, while the New Architects attempted to destroy Moniker and Farrah's allies in any way they could. In a moment, millions would die, and in the next moment, millions would be saved. Regardless, the ultimate death toll numbered in the tens of millions.
The war was three on two. After everything, the situation seemed to be in favor of the New Architects. But then, a miracle happened - for one of the very few times in all Reality (and of those times, this was the most major), the Godmodders and Players managed to set aside their differences for entire days to wage war against a common foe. They came to the support of Moniker and Farrah, broke into the Arbiter plane, and finally brought the New Architects to their knees. They were slain without mercy, and, as a final punishment - had their very names scrubbed from history. This seems to have been entirely successful, as not even I have found their true names.
In the aftermath, Moniker and Farrah agreed to a reduction in Arbiter power to 5%, and a reduction in their number of Emergency Overrides. Now there were only two Arbiters, and they spent most of their time on the Godmodder/Player war. Moniker continued his non-interference policy, but Farrah grew more zealous. She very ardently took the side of the Players, and made it her mission to eliminate Godmodders and finally allow the Players to win. Some were concerned, but - the Godmodders were the "evil" ones, after all. So nobody really did anything about it. Until, of course, the current fighting Godmodder had had enough, broke into the Arbiter plane once again, and butchered Farrah - her power at only 5%, she couldn't last long enough for the Players to arrive and assist, even with Moniker's help.
The Arbiter power was changed again, to 10%, where it stayed. Moniker, now alone, was resigned to spend the rest of Eternity overseeing the Godmodder/Player war.
Of course, the Arbiter War and Farrah's death is in the past. It is no longer directly relevant to the current ongoing war. However, it is still useful to consider it as a demonstration, and as context. As a demonstration, it clearly displays how these grand, ruling forces can be twisted oh-so-easily into obscenely destructive harbingers of doom. If the New Architects had won, we would all likely live much darker lives than we already do. And as context, it explains Moniker's failure, as he allowed himself to continue to grow more and more apathetic.
Moniker has failed at his job. In his lack of oversight, a certain someone has been allowed to grow far beyond any power level the Architects ever intended, threatening Reality directly. But, of course... maybe it's not all bad. (See Chapters 7 and 8.)

"I vote anyway"
Wait a second
This suggests cuihiuf or whatever the code that happened when the godmodder broke in was, was what he used to alter admin level, or something.
Also, if the previous player power increases were from the other arbiter using arbiter powers, how did moniker give us 50k power without using an override?

No, you misread. It didn't really describe how it was done, and the arbiter plane is separate from the administrative one. You need access to the latter, not the former, to change the admin level.
Moniker DID give us an override. He explicitly stated he was using one when Go An Na hijacked us.
1) yes, i know. but when the pro-player updates stopped and the godmodder attacked it, there was a code and then the godmodder got access. I'm suggesting that code may have been what unlocked the lever for changing arbiter levels and allowed him to swap them around at that point.
2)oh, i thought he only started using those after the first round.

School has really hit hard the past week...

I grab some fresh manure and compost and use it to fertilize the Tree of Experience in hopes of somehow helping it.
Update CLXIX (169)
Your armor clean, your DEF immediately receives a MASSIVE buff! That speck of dirt was really holding it back! +62 DEX, since DEX is alphabetically closest to DEF!
You successfully burn up 1 stem, and give it to the NPC! Only 999,999 to go!
+10,000 Weight units! It doesn't have quite enough weight to trigger yet...
The Tunnel boring will bore down two action's worth of tunneling at your current Mining Efficiency % each turn!
Activate MANAGEMENT! Your changes are implemented, oh illustrious manager!
+110,000 Base Player Power from training! Simultaneously, your LUK increases by 34!
You have signed up for the Duel arena! Get ready to fight, because apparently its popular!
You toss the Godmodder's mom in the weight -> power machine!
CRITICAL SOUL WEAKNESS STRUCK!
The machine lets out an unholy screech! It is now BUSTED and will accept no further inputs! It gives all the power it can possibly give to you! x5 Player power boost!
You challenge Alistair Dragovich! He might be busy with Morpheus, but for now, you hop in the Duelist's arena! (+50,000 eating Player Power base!)
You teleport far away from all the action, going right up to the wall. Taking a sample proves difficult - you can't even remove one chunk of The Wall. It resists your attempts to analyze it using scanning-type methods. Everything you are able to glean only confirms what you already know: It's totally invincible.
7% of Morpheus's dream energy is siphoned! In addition, you summon a large number of Nightmares which then engage in battle with the Spirits and immediately kill each other off, boosting Light/Dark Player Power by 100,000!
You attempt to open a connection to the Sleeping worlds... but cannot. The power is too weak. (OOC: It takes a LOT to mess with Revelation Point count.)
The Weight -> Power enhancer groans at the very thought. Sure, this addition of weight would be much much less than .00000000001% of what its currently experiencing. But it would still hurt.
In the end, you decide to take pity on the poor power enhancer. You just eat all the Golden apples instead. This gives you a x2 Overpowered Notch Apple factor!
+200,000 LIGHT POWER!
You construct the PERFECT advertisement. Marketing majors in college will do countless assignments analyzing your billboard in the future, enumerating all of the ways in which it is exceedingly successful. +10 new people for the town!
S W O L E
+600,000 base Player Power! The Temple somehow feels lesser than before...
Through suffering, you appease whatever RNG generator Reality runs on, and so everyone gains +66 LUK! LUK is now CAPPED!
Action 1 will take effect at the end of the turn.
(+40 STR)
YES! YES! Okay I am way happier about getting to save morpheus than I thought I would be I actually cheered when I read that.
Anyways, action overviews for when I have computer access tomorrow:
1: Piono looks up at Morpheus's heartless and nobody. He can't help but smile in spite of himself. Maybe there might just be a little bit of hope remaining in the darkness. And if nothing else the Godmodder is going to pitch an unholy hissy fit when he finds out we undid the massive project charge his soul orb self spent all of the time we were dead working on by using cheese synergy between a pair of items we had lying around. Yes, that sounds quite nice honestly, all the more reason to bring back one of those tiny sparks of divinity that reality will need if it is to have any hope of recovering once the Godmodder is dealt with.
With that in mind, he walks into the midst of the pink mist and opens up his mind. The pink mist begins flowing in... and then keeps flowing in. The nobody and heartless are confused at first, and then panic. Piono cleared his mindscape completely during that little bit of character development, removing all his own hopes and dreams to replace them with cold, consuming resolve. With the absence that was once his illusory mindscape opened up, the dream energy flows in to where there used to be dreams and nightmares of the soul, only to be consumed within the empty depths that house only a single goal: to see the Godmodder taken down at whatever final costs need be expended. A little bit of dream mist is a sacrifice that can be made.
2: Piono then looks over at the temple of gains. It's looking pretty worn out. An ordinary gym, even one that somehow managed to accomplish the advertiser's holy grail of being enshrined in ancient legend and lore, is not really much of a match for the kind of training a Player needs to undergo to bulk up. That's okay though, really. Piono just needs the abstract mechanical bonuses the gym gives, so he whips out his wallet and buys the entire thing and ordering all of the employees and straggling bodybuilders out of the building. What Piono does next is probably going to have a large blast radius and it's likely best to clear out that , just in case any of the people in the gym were actually people instead of just player power constructs doomed to frozen oblivion.
Then he enters the temple. It's time to solidify his position as the master of power, someone capable of dealing hundreds of trillions of damage every round just by looking at something sideways is not one to be looked down upon... And Piono needs to make sure everyone knows that. So he's going to do what every self-respecting overpowered RPG final boss (he may technically not be a final boss but he does have the multiple hour long cutscene attacks so he can pass as one if needed) does and acquire a few boss subtitles.
First off, he owns the temple of gains. As the rightful owner of this temple, that makes him its god.
Piono: God of Gains.area
Additionally, he's gone through major character development recently, that needs some attention as well.
Piono:self-consciousMetacognizant God of Gains.
This, of course, isn't enough. For another thing, it says nothing about Piono's penchant for pulling bullcrap supermoves out of his butt, so that goes in too.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains.
We still have a few steps further to go, such as the elemental mastery he still retains despite losing his artifacts a while back.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains and Master of All Elements.
Not to mention totally obliterating entire planets worth of terrain with each uber attack.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains and Apocalyptic Master of All Elements.
Finally, the Godmodder technically killed him once before during the events in the Bank of Actions but Piono didn't stay dead, technically meaning he's in his second phase.
Piono the Bullcrap Bringer: Metacognizant God of Gains and Apocalyptic Master of All Elements. Phase 2: Electric Boogaloo.
What hold on the phase wasn't supposed to get its subtitle yet. Oh well, it's locked in, too late now.
Piono, having mostly run out of ideas, shrugs and locks in his boss intro screen. Unfortunately he left auto-preview on so the text of the subtitles immediately fills up the screen and the sheer pretentiousness of it all causes the temple of gains to finally give its last and explode violently as all things in the world of DefTG are wont to do upon expiration. Even expired milk explodes around here honestly, it's a good thing that kind of stuff is just flavor text and doesn't damage other things too.
3: It's time for me to use the number 2. Now, Moniker forewarned me against using it on the Godmodder. That would be a fool's errand obviously, at best I could deal 2 damage to him, and for even that I'd need to somehow acquire a subtraction symbol. Far more effort than it's worth really.
No, I'm going to do something even worse
I take the 2, shrink it down to a slightly smaller size than before, and carefully glue it to the top right corner of the power equation of the player power source tracking, like so:
The mathematically inclined among you might recognize this as a method for denoting exponential increase without the use of symbols, and in that you would be correct.
As per the powers granted the 2 by the nature of my wish, I can put the 2 anywhere in the end of round update, I just don't get other numbers or symbols with which to add, subtract, or similar antics. But of course, exponents don't need other symbols or numbers, so without further ado:
Current player power is multiplied by itself. Hopefully perpetually but I dunno how long the 2 will stick.
1 CP used: I hop into the arena. I will take on all contenders that are willing to fight me (as a side note, does this eat up all of my actions for the two rounds? I hope not. If it does, and at least one other person is willing to fight me I'll still do it though. I wanna beat people up, it's been a while since I've had a good strife.)
3% dream power absorbed!
The Explosion of your boss subtitles destroys the entire Temple of Gains! You sprint out amidst the collapsing rubble! The titles + sprinting exercise net you a cool +300,000 Base Player Power.
2 placed! The power of the Dragonballs surges through you, no less than squaring your current power! That's... how many extra orders of magnitude? At least 7. A LOT. And more as you continue to increase your base Player Power.
ABSOLUTELY OBSCENE POWER INCREASE!
(OOC: APPARENTLY this site doesn't support doing things to ^2! I was going to copy your BBcode but you used an image! So fine then, Spacebattles, this'll be listed as ^ 2!)
You join the arena, without using CP! Yes, it does eat up all your actions each turn attacking and defending. But! The (collective) rewards are great!
Suppressor B is too tough to break into! Your attacks bounce off its powerful armor!
Frustrated, you move down and scan the whole thing. It appears all of its components are designed to dissolve into ash if they ever leave the Sphere, or if the Sphere is destroyed. Suppressors A and C are likely the same.
You form a guide of OPTIMAL STRATS! ...But this one is different! You ended up writing what amount of Base Player Power would result in a permanent buff!
2,500,000 Base: 200,000 Power/Action
10,000,000 Base: 500,000 Power/Action
20,000,000 Base: 1,000,000 Power/Action
50,000,000 Base: 5,000,000 Power/Action
Looks like your attempts to increase power will get more effective as you get more of it!
Your resistance will cause the Morpheuses to attack you! Their attacks will be wasted! However, you will be unable to prevent them from leaving - resisting their attacks will leave you too drained!
+150,000 Food power!
You are now registered for the glorious arena!
Captain.cat's power flows into you! The dam is easily constructed, as new mysterious construction vehicles show up to assist! The Intex Dam provides twice as much energy as you'd planned, not only boosting future recruitment efforts but netting you a large number of new citizens as well! +15 town citizens!
As music plays in the background, you drain 2% of the powers away!
You create the Crystallised Dream Gems!
The town now has more buildings and structures than the needs to be filled! It helps anyways. +13 townspeople!
The Tree of Experience, somehow, grows a branch of new, cheaply purchased skills that essentially amount to a lot of free bonus stats! +20 STR and 40 DEX! ALL STATS MAXED!
The Tree of Experience is finally fully realized! Vast numbers of overly complicated perks rain down upon you! You gain all manner of special attacks and buffs, but those are way too complicated, so you decide to just ignore them. (Except, of course, for the one that lets you eat chicken nuggets using only one-fourth the normal amount of ketchup.)
In total, you feel 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL! MASSIVE POWER BOOST!
---------
AG:
Within the Desperate Dice Mine, your new automatic drill drills down! It first hits the 50M mark - and nets a die! However, the rocks get harder, and mining efficiency decreases by 30%! It then drills down another 25 meters! Perhaps its time to get the town's rapidly filling population to work with miner training and equipment distribution...
Player Presser goes off, snagging a massive load of Energy!
The Epic Duel Arena has four Players currently ready! It seems each of them wishes to participate in a BATTLE ROYALE MODE!
Minor adjustment to the rules for Battle Royale Mode (and clarification of how it will all play out):
-To clear up Pionoplayer's question: Attacking/Defending in these rounds requires a focused action.
-Each turn, any of the 4 Players can select one of the other 3 Players to attack.
-They will then type up an attack. This attack can be edited until I make my own post responding to them, thus "finalizing" their attack.
-On the following turn, the attacked Player will type up a defense. This too can be edited until I "finalize" it. Then, at last, I will "evaluate" the engagement, and if the Defending Player failed to rebuff the attack, they will perish.
-If a Player is attacked by multiple other Players, then they will die if they fail to rebuff any of the attacks. The Focused Action dedicated to defense allows them to mount full-strength defenses against any number of attacks received.
-But - if they survive all the attacks directed at them, then they will gain the ability to attack multiple times (equal to the number of times they were attacked) the following turn - so if all 3 Players attack a fourth Player, then the fourth Player will be allowed to launch 3 attacks total - 1 for each of his attackers - on the following turn. Assuming he successfully defends against all 3!
-Combat should hopefully not last longer than 2 iterations of this cycle, or 4 Updates.
Now, Ender_Smirk, Pionoplayer, Dangan_Machin, Dragon_Of_Hope - GO!
(OOC: And ask questions about the rules on Discord, if you have any!)
PG:
Morpheus Heartless and Morpheus Nobody enter Crusher's dream. They launch their various DREAM ATTACKS at Crusher, but Crusher manages to survive! They are forced to retreat, but their remaining shreds of dream power strengthen, they are now UNBLOCKABLE! Crusher's mental defense tactic won't work again!
N:
Suppressor B is almost online!
----------
O.R.I.G.I.N. is launching absolutely vicious attacks at the Servitude Robot! A handful of Players watch with some interest.
And then... they see something. A flicker of an illusion. All the Players are paying attention now.
As the knife pierces the skin - or rather, bends as O.R.I.G.I.N. attempts to pierce the skin - the illusion flickers more, before dropping completely. He's realized it's pointless. Everyone realizes what's happening at once.
The Servitude robot wasn't really a robot! It was actually just the Godmodder doing "The Robot" dance moves!
----------
The Godmodder: ...
Everyone stares. Nobody attacks, yet.
The Godmodder: Well, I'll be over here. You do your thing.
The Godmodder takes out a small plastic lawnchair, and sits on it. He doesn't appear to be attacking.
The Godmodder: Go ahead. Clear Tribulation 3. I will not stop you.
After brief deliberation, you decide that you probably shouldn't ignore this. In fact... it's for the best if the Godmodder stays here as long as possible.
You turn to the Godmodder. Time to fight!
The Godmodder: Of course. The hard way.
The Godmodder: You're going to want to get strong enough to beat Suppressor C. And then, you can come after me at my secret hidden location.
Before you all can start the next turn and launch a grand volley of attacks, The Godmodder claps his hands and teleports away... somewhere.
----------
If you want to be able to attack The Godmodder, you'll have to find his secret location! But he's only left one clue... a map titled "Map to the secret location", which has a clear path leading to a large red X!
You'll also have to overcome two challenges: "The Minecart railroad tracks that take you straight to the secret location" and "giant pit with a sign outside it that says 'jump down here to get to the Godmodder's secret location!'"
Once you overcome these things, you'll reach the Godmodder's secret location!
(The Pit is very dark... your attempts shine a light into it reveal nothing.)

The quiet watcher
Verified Old One
The quiet watcher is only slightly surprised at the fact that the Godmodder had actually been stuck inside of the tribulation the entire time. He leaves the bot he was still standing on alone for the moment as he trained himself for two turns by hanging upside down with nothing but his own powers as he worked on his speed, physical endurance, and adaptability.
Then, he negates [MINOR MINNIE] and lets himself fall into the Giant pit with the sign, certain that out of all the others he was maybe the only one capable of getting back out and making it into training if it was actually a red herring.
