Defeat The Godmodder

[Alastair Dragovich]

I smile, incredibly grateful. Something inside of me clicks.

The hesitation and fear in stopping the Godmodder lethally... was gone. I wasn't about to let him erase my baby girl- even if she was a robot entity.

I look to Michael for a moment... but I decide I'll ask him about my origins once this was all finished.

I look around, wondering what to do in the meantime... and notice two things. The Heal Block, and a frustrated looking Jet. (Ender_Smirk )

"Hey there! I gave you a bit of power for the plan right? Want to chat about how it went while we take care of this Heal Block?"

Focus Action: I proceed while I wait for his response to take out a bunch of tools and begin examining how to disable the Heal Block... and go about disabling it if I have the right tools.

 

[General_Urist]

And so it's over. Time to say goodbye I guess. I stride into one of the LIVE Space Station's largest rooms, and summon everyone from the captain to the janitor. I make a speech.

Men and women of this vessel, engineers and stewards of the LIVE SPACE STATION! You have fought and worked well for the past many months. You have made key contributions to victory, survived trials that would have destroyed lesser men, and been important allies in the fight against the Godmodder. I am so very proud of you all, and could not ask for anyone better to support me in battle. Unfortunately, here it ends.

Only a few obstacles remain between us Players and the Godmodder. But they are tough ones, and more importantly specifically made to hold back anything that is not a player. Given what intelligence I have, I have every reason to believe that this Space Station has near zero chance of survival if it continues its pursuit of the Godmodder, while its brute force firepower would be of little use. What I mean to say is, if I were to keep you by my side going into the struggles ahead of us, you would surely all die. Not heroically, but tragically.

Thus... I sigh. I release you from my service. CompTIA now has no master but the crew of the LIVE Space Station. You are now free people, free to go wherever you wish. I can only wish that every one of you will find a purpose in life, whether it is continuing to serve on the LIVE Space Station and her equipment to more peaceful purposes, or retiring to a peaceful terrestrial life. This vessel can fly across the universe, make use of that.

No doubt you have heard the angel Michel's broadcast, and his offer with the LIFE stasis pod. He promises it will keep you safe until the Godmodder is vanquished. And given how Alastair has harmed him, that is a matter of WHEN rather than if! The situation being what it is now, I leave it to you to decide whether you wish to trust him. Most of us do. CaptainNZZZ does not entirely, and he has been taking steps to ensure the LIFE pod cannot become a prison. Should you share his distrust, feel free to dock the LIVE Space Station close to his forces. I'm sure they'll be happy to have company.

And that's that. Only thing left to do is to give a hand to NZZZ's efforts, it's the least I can do. Much as CaptainNZZZ did, I make a copy of the LIVE Space Station's bioelectronical brain as a backup in case something bad happens, and store it in a pocket dimension that is accessible through a hatch in the cargo hold. The dimensional gate is warded, so if anything starts fucking with the LIVE Space Station proper, the gate shuts- after allowing some key engineers to take refuge with it. Really though, I can only do so much, and having the station stick close to CaptainNZZZ's forces will probably help more than anything else.

As I prepare to debark one of the engineers pokes me. Sir? I we found a stoaway. A big blue penguin clinging to the landing gear. Hmm? I ask to be shown this stoaway, and find... Hey brudah have you seen Eeveeh? He said if I come here teh solve some puzzles he'd help me clobbah dat Kirbeh! Oh, it's king DDD. You'll find plenty of Kirby-Clobbering in the LIFE Stasis pod, King. Michael will treat you better that that absentee bunnyfox. And King DDD Does deserves better, after helping to stop Goanna.

The Truth: Final Chapter: The Truth about Verraad

Several hundred years ago, the previous Godmodder - Arielle - was slain. Shortly after, a new Godmodder appeared to take her place: Verraad. While the exact circumstances surrounding his ascension (descension?) are shrouded even to me, I do know this much.

Godmodder lifespans generally average several years each. Some of the longest-lived godmodders of the past reached 50 years. Meanwhile, on the shorter end, some Godmodders had only lasted several months - or several minutes, in one case. Verraad was different. He proved exceptionally resistant to the Players' efforts to kill him, and significantly more dangerous than the numerous Godmodders that came before.

One reason for this was Verraad's unique approach. Many Godmodders began with some grand ideal, particularly if they were a former Player. Often, they would begin by making peace with their former Player group and promising to do better. Then, when the Players were no longer around, the Godmodders would inevitably get into a fight again as Godmodderhood warped them and their ideals into monsters. Other Godmodders were driven by an extremely specific goal; Often revenge. Inevitably, things would get out of hand, and the new Godmodder would become a shadow of their former selves and need to be put down by Players. Verraad, again, was different. He had a goal loftier than any of the others. He desired to reshape Reality itself into something different, something new. To do this, immediately from the start, he set out to conquer Reality.

His initial strategy was to start in some of the less populated Planes and conquer them with overwhelming force, thus gaining a solid power base he could use when Players inevitably came calling. This worked at first, but fell apart eventually as word of his existence spread fast. Nonetheless, this is likely how Verraad avoided getting crushed early on; he only had to deal with small groups of Players at the start, and he was able to get significant entity production/control going quickly.

From there, he gradually moved to bigger and bigger targets. But, eternally, he had one major thorn in his side; the Players. More and more came, and the majority seemed to be coming from one place: Earth. Verraad began to focus more and more on Earth, invading it with various armies from the Planes he controlled, in hopes of subjugating Earth and thus stymieing the eternal tide of Players eager to sacrifice themselves for his destruction. Even as he gained more power, and approached the 300-HP mark previously unheard of for any Godmodder, Earth proved itself impossible to completely conquer. As one of the most technologically advanced Planes (if lacking in magic), and one of the most populous, Earth proved resistant to complete subjugation. Any time Verraad got close, more Players would appear to stop him, and while Verraad certainly slaughtered millions upon millions, he never was able to finish the job.

As the years flew by, Verraad switched tactics. He left Earth to begin attempting to conquer more Planes, hoping that with more support, he could one day return to Earth. Of course, the Players simply followed him, and the people of Earth would not forgive or forget the destruction the Godmodder had wrought. Nonetheless, he proved somewhat successful in bringing some Planes under control. But before long, he experienced the problem that all of history's great conquerors inevitably faced; the bigger the empire, the easier it is to lose pieces of it - particularly in the exceedingly power-centralized dictatorships Verraad established. Always being busy fighting Players, and using his spare time to conquer more, the Godmodder was utterly unable to tend to civil matters, and control the majority of his empire. Whether due to Players going on sidequests, rebellions, or simple slow collapse and replacement, the Godmodder was only ever able to conquer 40% of Reality (the populated Planes) at his height. From there, his empire fluctuated between 25% and 40%, never going higher. There was simply too much to be conquered the regular way.

After a few hundred years of pain, suffering, death, and seemingly endless bloodshed, Verraad was beginning to realize that if things continued, he would never conquer Reality. There would always be more Players - there was only one him.

And so he devised a new plan. What if - instead of conquering Reality slowly and painfully - he simply deleted all that was there, and began again? To make... "Reality 2"?

This was the insight that resulted in him switching focus to acquiring the Legendary weapons. He returned to Earth, and began waiting for the perfect Player group. One competent enough to do his legwork, yet gullible enough to be tricked into gathering the weapons unwittingly. The Players would pursue him wherever he went, and if he collected the Legendary weapons directly, ever more of Reality's controlling forces would appear to try and stop him - but to have Players collect the weapons for him? That would be much easier...

And once he had the Legendary Weapons, he could initiate the Evacuation Directive. When the 5 resulting Tribulations were complete, Reality would be entirely in one place. Once there, Reality could be destroyed easily, in one fell swoop. The suffering and subjugation would end. The massive system of things left behind, overpowering controlling forces, and hopelessness would be dismantled in an instant.

We can't know what will replace it. We can never know. But we can be sure of one thing: It will be far, far better than the hopeless Reality that is today.

And that is why I stand with Verraad. In exchange for my help and assistance with a very specific task, he allowed me to use his name in this book. There is no longer any point in secrecy. His plan will succeed, and a new, better Reality will replace this one. Some of you may disagree, but this Reality can't be saved. This is the only way. The Godmodder must NOT be stopped. That... is The Truth.

Thank you for reading.

(To the Players - I'll be seeing you shortly.)

This concludes The Truth.

<if there's even a slim chance of the below Doing anything, I will be spending an action on it next turn or as soon as feasible.>
"I would like to sue 'The Truth''s author for false advertising and libel. Several sections of the book peddled as 'The Truth' are incorrect for a variety of reasons. Additionally, several parts are subjective, and others are portrayed in an unnecessarily pessimistic manner. I have in addition spotted at least one outright lie and one instance of slander."
"To summarize off the top of my head, every part wherein The Truth speaks of how many beings care or the quality of reality as a place of residence is either subjective or incorrect; Several portions of reality are, in fact, quite nice places to be in, including the Eternal Stasis Machine starting partway into the current battle. Additionally, any player can have literal years of life in between rounds if they so desire, and provide the same to others; as it sounds, several parts of reality were furthermore untouched for a significant period. There are almost-doubtless several deities who do care about their worshippers deaths or even the deaths of sentient beings in general. I could go on if I reread the truth, but I would prefer not to re-expose myself to its baseless lies, for all it contains nuggets of (probably) factually true material."
" 'The Truth' in The 'Truth' about Verraad claimed the current group of players as gullible enough to do the Godmodders legwork while competent enough to succeed, paraphrasing. This is false as a simple statement of fact. While I do not presently recall the source of Mascythe and Yorehammer to the field, I do know the following of the Legendary Weapons were gathered in the following ways:"
"Starcalibur was obtained by a player, technically. However, said player was forcefully under the control of the Godmodder at the time, so they were not 'Gullible' for doing so; they had no choice, and in addition had no knowledge of the legendary weapons, having had much of their memory wiped by the Godmodder's attempts(?) to consume their souls."
"The Resolute Heart was gathered by the Godmodder. While a false version owned by Lucifer was obtained by Arsenical early on, said 'resolute heart' was destroyed through paradoxical time nonsense and a duplicate in any case, and there were no players from this group present at the time of the Godmodder obtaining the real version, as he had slain them; they were occupied in a prison, and on return he had obtained the Heart."
"The Infinileaf Clover was obtained by the Godmodder, breaking his way into a Player Lock location. That said, even then the players managed to hold him back for a time; the clover was seized again, but, lacking a proper location to put them, it eventually returned to the Godmodder by circumstance."
"Yoreshield was gathered by Alice, a Godmodder herself and known to be subordinate to The Godmodder. this is no player, and from several groups prior regardless. he later seized Yoreshield from Alice in addition."
"The Allsee Spectacles were obtained by the Godmodder, as all the players were d e a d at the time, and the Godmodder could have Trivially blown his way into the bank regardless. if not for the powers of Cutscene Induced Stupidity, the players would have definitely stopped even that much of the Assault on the bank by yelling "NOOOO OSTOPPOPOPPOOPOP" at the other 'real world' players."
"As stated, I don't recall how Yorehammer or Mascythe were gathered, but another player has stated that the players never willingly gathered a legendary weapon, so it's likely they follow this trend of being Not from the players."
"So, The Truth is both making a factually incorrect statement here, and preforming libel with regards to the entire player group at once."
"Later in The "Truth" about Verraad, the "Truth"s author makes the claims that:"
">'we can't know what will replace it', which is only true to the extent that Verraad's mind or powers are non-deterministic (something highly likely to be false due to the predictor device used shortly prior to the deleter succeeding in making any form of prediction on it), and if they are deterministic knowledge is possible."
">'we can be sure of one thing: it will be far, far better then the hopeless reality that is today', which is false by simple bayesian reasoning as a 100% certainty- or, being sure- means it's impossible to change your mind on something, and furthermore cannot coexist with the previous statement since if we can't tell what the Godmodder will do we can't be sure it won't be several hundred times worse then this reality (which is possible. Take this reality and add a few hundred more of those torture-verse's, and it's worse."
">'this Reality can't be saved' is very likely false, as if the Godmodder can destroy everything, he should be able to destroy everything he objects to instead, and if he can then make a new reality, he should be able to make more stuff for this one. Also, this reality has rollback points, so taken literally you can 'save', as in record a position of everything in time and return to it.."
">'This is the only way' is similarly false because it's possible to do things any number of ways, perhaps with a Godmodder who isn't Verraad, with enough charges from players, with the theoretically-possible support of God and (if he were here) Satan, and so on."
">'the Godmodder must NOT be stopped. That... is The Truth' is false because 'must' is a morality-statement, and cannot be 'True' or 'False', and in addition much of this book was as stated false. That said, this last line can be considered to not contain lies if we assume 'That... is The Truth' means 'that... is the entire content of this book, which has the title 'The Truth'."
"In summary The Truth's Author is slanderous liar who falsely advertised his book and I'm suing him for those things. I am willing to settle in exchange for his soul and entire being, which if he accepts this generous proposal will be defined more clearly."

"I Object to that! The Stasis Machine's afterlife was made by me, and it's not Fake! Sure, the events don't have a physical presence, but you know what?

The Afterlife there is accomodating to whatever things they want, it's up-front about its nature, it at least tried to let them help out (though nobody ever bothered using them, myself included : P) if they care about reality, It's got infinite computing power, it's a perfect simulation when that's desirable...

You successfully expand the stasis machine capacity, albeit not nearly as much as expected.

You get a popup when you attempt the shielding!

So... there are sleeping innocent beings... and you decide to expose them to taint, to try to corrupt them and bring them under your control. Of course you get a popup. And you facepalm for do something that's at best reckless and at worst downright evil. Remember when you were moral, JOEbob? REMEMBER?

Your attempt to give the machine a giant tuneup fails because you have exceedingly limited access to the stasis machine. Plus, its power was clearly entirely shenanigans. I don't know why all you Players keep thinking that having hundreds of times your original Player power is somehow giving your shenanigans an equal boost...

I look deep into Ultimo Durana... and smile. "The Destroyer. One of many entities. It had given me the strength, nay, the power, to recreate Ultimo Durana. And for that... I want to give back."

3 ACTION FOCUS - FREE THE SOULS: I free the souls of those who have bravely worked aboard the Destroyer, into the Life Statis Pod. There, I hope, they can have a new life. "May your future... be peaceful and free."

"Ash Aragami, do whatever you want. You have done well. You are my most successful entity, and you have a choice. Do you want to stay with me, go into the L.I.F.E Pod, or travel the universe and all the other universes? Also, always know, you were like a father to me, I loved you like a son. (Pewdiepie's Minecraft series reference, not really serious)"

I also give Excalibur more power.

Excalibur gets more power... for what its worth...

The Ash Aragami looks down, unsure. But, he thinks about the future and... if he can possibly be useful in the future, a future without the godmodder, then that must be better than dying trying to be useful for a turn or two in whatever comes next...

"Hello Altair, please enjoy small talk."

Hitting a nearby box the machine starts spouting out sports related small talk. It's enjoyable levels of small talk so I leave it going for about a minute before deactivating the machine.

"With that out of the way, I have a request. As CPs are clearly becoming largely useless when the next Tribulation begins I humbly request some of your CP stores. I desire to provide my entities certain elements and having additional power would help me succeed at my plans. Thank you for listening."

Onto the main issue! This L.I.F.E Stasis Pod looks nice...but I owe too much to my entities to not do my best to keep them safe and themselves. I doubt it's truly dangerous but better safe than sorry.

While I might take an entity with me, I can guarantee many of them can't. Rotaz, for all his experience and skill, could have been one shot by basically every entity we just fought and his equipment won't last even if the next stage only has extreme weather. Honestly, the Temporal Guardian is the only one I could see surviving given his stats, Za Warudo, and the occasionally temporal shenanigans like time traveling away from the final event. Everyone else is simply too...insignificant to ever consider taking with me.

So instead I'll make sure my entities can still act within the confines of the L.I.F.E Stasis Pod. I formed a means to try and allow my entities to breach the D.E.A.T.H Stasis Pod. The Hellfire Crystal Golem's dimension warping powers that can penetrate even dimensional barriers at the cost of burning up the ability, the Phase-shift cloak powers that let then deploy a growing miniature Mysterious Tower that creates an 'almost untouchable state of made up of being intangibility, being temporally out of sync with reality, being in a small pocket dimension shielded from intrusion, and finally being wrapped in a bubble that subtly redirects attention elsewhere' (now slightly altered to include the Temporal Guardian and the Hellfire Crystal Golem as approved activators), the Dimensional And Space Emergency Button which can shift my entities to another location through a variety of means and can function even in frozen time or rely on its future sight assisted auto-activation if Rotaz is unable to actively use it, and various creation abilities all form a means to escape situations like this one if needed. Even stray items like the EMP offer them additional effects like temporarily disrupting the functions of the pod to stand a better chance of escape.

The abilities and equipment is there but the entities also need to be able to act. By forming backups of their present minds' with their personalities and allegiances hard coded as the backups update minutely. These backups of energy are placed in shielded pocket dimensions each independently linked to the related entity and the presence of these pocket dimensions also provide decent interference against attempts to explain the mind of the entities. These measures are critical to providing my entities protection against conversion or mental influence, the backups ready to feed the entities notices of external influences and a means to replace the altered state of mind with their proper mindset. The backups will run out of energy fairly quickly but by allowing them to absorb ambient energy they'll be able function indefinitely...but only as long as they're in the L.I.F.E Stasis Pod. (x3)

As I'm giving some entities items, here's an updated list of them and my inventory for quick copying and pasting. Changes will be bolded and Rotaz will be moved back to my entity list instead of the Duelist section. At the moment of this post, I can guarantee only the Temporal Guardian might not end up going into the L.I.F.E Stasis Pod.

Entity orders are simple. Rotaz and the Hellfire Crystal Golem are to stop their work on the giga-fortress's armaments and instead work to properly grant the Temporal Guardian 'Time Manipulation'. By sacrificing their attacks, the Temporal Guardian can instead use preform limited manipulations of time as a default action. The Temporal Guardian could speed up an entity, decrease dodge rate by slowing the individual in time, etc. Fairly weak abilities but at least it'll guarantee the Temporal Guardian can preform their temporal shenanigans without needing Player assistance or maybe somewhat boost their abilities. After all, other than slapping Players and Za Warudo, the Temporal Guardian has done very few manipulations of time without acting alongside a Player. Naturally, the Temporal Guardian will aid them in this endeavor in anyway he can.

Everyone else...continues building the giga-fortress based on Rotaz's plans. As the armaments will need Rotaz's guidance they all focus on the structure and basic devices. The Servitors reinforce the physical defenses like the outer walls, the Magitek Servitor Factory fine tunes the dimensional barrier generator, and the Mark III Tactical Flashbang teaches the attack trolls how to navigate and remain sane in the seemingly impossible four-dimensional interior. While the giga-fortress may never truly be relevant, it will be magnificent despite that fact.

Click to shrink...

Your entities will do as you say, one last time. They will continue their construction and stay safe, even from within the L.I.F.E. stasis pod. A surprise change won't take them out!

Michael: Considering the past, your mistrust is warranted. You may have anti-LIFE-pod defenses, but please do not sabotage its function.

I whip up a quality record of everything that happened during this long battle (including these actions), and give it to Micheal.

"You can probably guess what I want you to do with this. If something happens to us, all this should be remembered. Also, what can you tell us about the challenges ahead?"

Then I focus a little to divine Michael's abilities. I am rather curious, I must say.

OOC: really, what are his stats?

Michael looks at the tape with a little confusion. He probably isn't used to seeing a lot of technology up in heaven. Nonetheless, he stashes it with himself.

Your ability readouts:

HP: A bunch
Attack: A whole lot
Special abilities: Low-Moderate dodge rate, significant regen, a special attack that deals double damage to three different enemies

"So, this is it huh..."

Taking a seat on the Rice Temple steps, I pull out a phone and sent out a message to all my entities.



It takes a bit of time for them to all get to the temple, but that's mainly because they are all finally taking a rest from this tribulation and the news of the L.I.F.E. Stasis Pod. What awaits them is all the rice from the Temples gatherings over the course of its lifespan, which is to say... quite a lot. All the rice that has been accumulated since turn 74, the turn when the Rice Shrine had come to be into the battlefield with its first harvest... Ever since that time, the rice was created to create rice wine... But older rice isn't that great with tasting, so that's why, with each new harvest, the fresh rice is added into the wine and through some background player shenanigans, keeps the rice wine fresh and young. And finally, after 100+ turns of continuous revival, it comes to light as I lift the large wine bottle and plop it on the table that has to appear in front of me and my entities.

"Right now, this might be the last time we'll have any sort of break... and potentially the last time we'll be together."

"After all the sacrifice, the entities that have been lost to this bloody war. To the Major and minor Gods, the player groups before us, the final door and steps await, The Current Players, Us."

"Words can't explain how I feel, I have lost entities with some connection I swear I could feel to this Godmodder War, and hopefully, this will be the last of the cycle-"

I clench my fist as I scrounge up my conviction.

"For the entities that have accompanied, shared a bond, and fallen to get me this far... The once anime girl, Bun Queen Florence... Adorable Sushi Slime... The stubborn Cat Sith army... The Void Assassin Bros and Rov's beloved wife Void Guard... These are wounds that shape me and some of us that are still here right now."

"So it will be soon, that with The Rice Temple built from its humble Shrine still standing. With the son and daughter of Florence and the Knights who have been there to support the royal siblings to gain revenge for the fallen Bun Queen, to Rov and the Light Mage Researchers for taking the Shrine to what it is today, and finally, with my two longest entities... no... Friends, Disco-Chan and Fennie, who has wandered in the dark, both in the Shadows and the Void, to finally meet with me and to be reunited once again..."

"So I decided, you'll all be sent into the L.I.F.E Pod"

Tears pool around my eyes as I look on to those seating in the table.

"I'm proud to have you all, for sticking with me to this far, for suffering from the loss of fellow entities and finally... for just being with me."

"I can't offer to see any of you to fall... so please, allow this last request and trust me to finish this alone..."

With a deep bow, to hide his tears, tears of joy he gave his peace.

"So, from the bottom of my heart. For everything..."

"Thank you"

Those words lifted the weight of the world off my shoulder, from the recent deaths, and to the old ones. These words that I said, weren't for the ones here with me... but for all the entities that I've summon and have come to appreciate. From my first summon of the True Masons, to my last summoning being the Damage Tank whos in its own happy ending. Lifting my head up, I can see the entities I made, cared and loved all next to each other, a fleeting image in my mind that makes this significant to my emotional soul.

And so the Rice Wine, who has been cultivated by being continuously experiencing being born and fresh, is brought to its first cup. 100+ turns of cultivation results into a clear liquid as it sparkled and is finally shared as a celebration to those that live this long.

Thus we spend this turn quietly, to enjoy the cup and to reminisce over the events of the war.

Your entities nod. Fennie gives you a last affectionate nuzzle, along with the bun knights. They begin to walk to the LIFE stasis pod, but can't help but turn around and give one last wave goodbye...

Granted, with luck, you'll be able to visit them when all is said and done. With luck.

Eyowe, having quickly recovered from his recent wallowing, casts a quick glance at The Dark One.

Eyowe: Ah, yeah, I made that guy. Then that whole fiasco with the armor hurting him happened...when's he gonna learn that he can actually take it off?

The Apex Fleet had always been sub-sophontic, owing to its deliberately shackled cores. The real Apex was a bit of a special case, but the Entity facsimile was distinctly not needing of a happy ending.

The hesitation and fear in stopping the Godmodder lethally... was gone. I wasn't about to let him erase my baby girl- even if she was a robot entity.

I look to Michael for a moment... but I decide I'll ask him about my origins once this was all finished.

I look around, wondering what to do in the meantime... and notice two things. The Heal Block, and a frustrated looking Jet. (Ender_Smirk )

"Hey there! I gave you a bit of power for the plan right? Want to chat about how it went while we take care of this Heal Block?"

Focus Action: I proceed while I wait for his response to take out a bunch of tools and begin examining how to disable the Heal Block... and go about disabling it if I have the right tools.

Click to shrink...

The Heal Block appears quite frustrating. Luckily, it appears to be area-based, so once you're somewhere new it goes away on its own. Thank goodness.

And so it's over. Time to say goodbye I guess. I stride into one of the LIVE Space Station's largest rooms, and summon everyone from the captain to the janitor. I make a speech.

Men and women of this vessel, engineers and stewards of the LIVE SPACE STATION! You have fought and worked well for the past many months. You have made key contributions to victory, survived trials that would have destroyed lesser men, and been important allies in the fight against the Godmodder. I am so very proud of you all, and could not ask for anyone better to support me in battle. Unfortunately, here it ends.

Only a few obstacles remain between us Players and the Godmodder. But they are tough ones, and more importantly specifically made to hold back anything that is not a player. Given what intelligence I have, I have every reason to believe that this Space Station has near zero chance of survival if it continues its pursuit of the Godmodder, while its brute force firepower would be of little use. What I mean to say is, if I were to keep you by my side going into the struggles ahead of us, you would surely all die. Not heroically, but tragically.

Thus... I sigh. I release you from my service. CompTIA now has no master but the crew of the LIVE Space Station. You are now free people, free to go wherever you wish. I can only wish that every one of you will find a purpose in life, whether it is continuing to serve on the LIVE Space Station and her equipment to more peaceful purposes, or retiring to a peaceful terrestrial life. This vessel can fly across the universe, make use of that.

No doubt you have heard the angel Michel's broadcast, and his offer with the LIFE stasis pod. He promises it will keep you safe until the Godmodder is vanquished. And given how Alastair has harmed him, that is a matter of WHEN rather than if! The situation being what it is now, I leave it to you to decide whether you wish to trust him. Most of us do. CaptainNZZZ does not entirely, and he has been taking steps to ensure the LIFE pod cannot become a prison. Should you share his distrust, feel free to dock the LIVE Space Station close to his forces. I'm sure they'll be happy to have company.

And that's that. Only thing left to do is to give a hand to NZZZ's efforts, it's the least I can do. Much as CaptainNZZZ did, I make a copy of the LIVE Space Station's bioelectronical brain as a backup in case something bad happens, and store it in a pocket dimension that is accessible through a hatch in the cargo hold. The dimensional gate is warded, so if anything starts fucking with the LIVE Space Station proper, the gate shuts- after allowing some key engineers to take refuge with it. Really though, I can only do so much, and having the station stick close to CaptainNZZZ's forces will probably help more than anything else.

As I prepare to debark one of the engineers pokes me. Sir? I we found a stoaway. A big blue penguin clinging to the landing gear. Hmm? I ask to be shown this stoaway, and find... Hey brudah have you seen Eeveeh? He said if I come here teh solve some puzzles he'd help me clobbah dat Kirbeh! Oh, it's king DDD. You'll find plenty of Kirby-Clobbering in the LIFE Stasis pod, King. Michael will treat you better that that absentee bunnyfox. And King DDD Does deserves better, after helping to stop Goanna.

Click to shrink...

(Months...? Come to think of it, you never installed clocks or calendars on the space station...)

The crew is jovial. After all the death and destruction... they lived. And now, it's time for their reward! Whatever that may be...

I give the Restorer a choice, after allots up to her to make the decision if she wants a Happy Ending...I support her choice either way.

Either way...heh, the Greater Self is now right here, separated only by the smallest of margins...

You get out all the minecraft potions. ALL of them. Including the bad ones. Oh no! Somehow they're all canceling each other out! Gah!

<if there's even a slim chance of the below Doing anything, I will be spending an action on it next turn or as soon as feasible.>
"I would like to sue 'The Truth''s author for false advertising and libel. Several sections of the book peddled as 'The Truth' are incorrect for a variety of reasons. Additionally, several parts are subjective, and others are portrayed in an unnecessarily pessimistic manner. I have in addition spotted at least one outright lie and one instance of slander."
"To summarize off the top of my head, every part wherein The Truth speaks of how many beings care or the quality of reality as a place of residence is either subjective or incorrect; Several portions of reality are, in fact, quite nice places to be in, including the Eternal Stasis Machine starting partway into the current battle. Additionally, any player can have literal years of life in between rounds if they so desire, and provide the same to others; as it sounds, several parts of reality were furthermore untouched for a significant period. There are almost-doubtless several deities who do care about their worshippers deaths or even the deaths of sentient beings in general. I could go on if I reread the truth, but I would prefer not to re-expose myself to its baseless lies, for all it contains nuggets of (probably) factually true material."
" 'The Truth' in The 'Truth' about Verraad claimed the current group of players as gullible enough to do the Godmodders legwork while competent enough to succeed, paraphrasing. This is false as a simple statement of fact. While I do not presently recall the source of Mascythe and Yorehammer to the field, I do know the following of the Legendary Weapons were gathered in the following ways:"
"Starcalibur was obtained by a player, technically. However, said player was forcefully under the control of the Godmodder at the time, so they were not 'Gullible' for doing so; they had no choice, and in addition had no knowledge of the legendary weapons, having had much of their memory wiped by the Godmodder's attempts(?) to consume their souls."
"The Resolute Heart was gathered by the Godmodder. While a false version owned by Lucifer was obtained by Arsenical early on, said 'resolute heart' was destroyed through paradoxical time nonsense and a duplicate in any case, and there were no players from this group present at the time of the Godmodder obtaining the real version, as he had slain them; they were occupied in a prison, and on return he had obtained the Heart."
"The Infinileaf Clover was obtained by the Godmodder, breaking his way into a Player Lock location. That said, even then the players managed to hold him back for a time; the clover was seized again, but, lacking a proper location to put them, it eventually returned to the Godmodder by circumstance."
"Yoreshield was gathered by Alice, a Godmodder herself and known to be subordinate to The Godmodder. this is no player, and from several groups prior regardless. he later seized Yoreshield from Alice in addition."
"The Allsee Spectacles were obtained by the Godmodder, as all the players were d e a d at the time, and the Godmodder could have Trivially blown his way into the bank regardless. if not for the powers of Cutscene Induced Stupidity, the players would have definitely stopped even that much of the Assault on the bank by yelling "NOOOO OSTOPPOPOPPOOPOP" at the other 'real world' players."
"As stated, I don't recall how Yorehammer or Mascythe were gathered, but another player has stated that the players never willingly gathered a legendary weapon, so it's likely they follow this trend of being Not from the players."
"So, The Truth is both making a factually incorrect statement here, and preforming libel with regards to the entire player group at once."
"Later in The "Truth" about Verraad, the "Truth"s author makes the claims that:"
">'we can't know what will replace it', which is only true to the extent that Verraad's mind or powers are non-deterministic (something highly likely to be false due to the predictor device used shortly prior to the deleter succeeding in making any form of prediction on it), and if they are deterministic knowledge is possible."
">'we can be sure of one thing: it will be far, far better then the hopeless reality that is today', which is false by simple bayesian reasoning as a 100% certainty- or, being sure- means it's impossible to change your mind on something, and furthermore cannot coexist with the previous statement since if we can't tell what the Godmodder will do we can't be sure it won't be several hundred times worse then this reality (which is possible. Take this reality and add a few hundred more of those torture-verse's, and it's worse."
">'this Reality can't be saved' is very likely false, as if the Godmodder can destroy everything, he should be able to destroy everything he objects to instead, and if he can then make a new reality, he should be able to make more stuff for this one. Also, this reality has rollback points, so taken literally you can 'save', as in record a position of everything in time and return to it.."
">'This is the only way' is similarly false because it's possible to do things any number of ways, perhaps with a Godmodder who isn't Verraad, with enough charges from players, with the theoretically-possible support of God and (if he were here) Satan, and so on."
">'the Godmodder must NOT be stopped. That... is The Truth' is false because 'must' is a morality-statement, and cannot be 'True' or 'False', and in addition much of this book was as stated false. That said, this last line can be considered to not contain lies if we assume 'That... is The Truth' means 'that... is the entire content of this book, which has the title 'The Truth'."
"In summary The Truth's Author is slanderous liar who falsely advertised his book and I'm suing him for those things. I am willing to settle in exchange for his soul and entire being, which if he accepts this generous proposal will be defined more clearly."

You attempt to file a lawsuit with the Higher Cosmic Court of Inter-Plane affairs. You fail because both that court and the majority of other inter-Plane courts have been razed to nothing by this point.

-----------

With many waves and hugs and the occasional stoic stare for the edgy ones, your entities at last finish. It's time to leave. It can't be delayed forever. But hey... you'll be able to visit them, right? That is, if you win this war and everything goes back to something resembling normal...

The last of the entities file into the extremely spacious stasis pod. With a surprisingly quiet closing and locking of the golden door, the stasis pod glows extra bright for a moment - and is then gone. Your entities are somewhere else, in stasis - proper cryostasis, sleeping, or watching TV, in a safe bunker away from the fighting. Their choice. When the dust has settled, they will be released. And if Reality is destroyed... the pod is unlikely to protect them.

-----------

These are the final endings for your entities.

Below each one is an "Alt" ending showing an alternative ending triggered if you lose the game.

-----------

The machine, not inside the stasis pod, fades to dust, its power spent.

Buns and Rice Temple:
The Bun Prince and princess, along with their loyal if battered squad of knights, deconstruct the rice temple and load it on their backs as they exit the stasis pod. They set out, not knowing quite for sure where they are headed. Eventually, through various wacky, silly, harmless shenanigans involving lots of squeaking, the whole group somehow tumbles through a portal into the Plane of Grass and Vegetables. An endless green plain, with nothing but delicious grass and leafy vegetables! The rabbits establish a kingdom, with the temple as an important cultural relic! Within the span of six hours, the population grows to three million, and before long it comes to be known as the Plane of Buns, an important trade partner for all your veggie-based needs.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Fennie:
Fennie emerges the pod, and sets off in a different direction from the buns. She considers her past, and her future. The Cait Sith... were they even real? They are surely no longer around to return to. Eventually, she finds her way to the Plane of Catgirls - a place full of those similar to herself. She joins their ranks and quickly ascends to becoming one of the most powerful and honored warriors, helping to keep the peace for the rest of her days.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Disco-Chan:
Disco-Chan finds that their ultimate passion in giving joy to others. She disguises herself as a normal Disco ball and travels to one of the most popular dance clubs in New America. Within that club, even awkward and shy dancers will sometimes be able to impress their friends with a dance move three times as flashy as normal... and sometimes, a faint giggle can be heard, barely audible above the music...
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

You can count on Ostruppen, no really you can! Pioneers, and Line Gunners:
The Pioneers and Line Gunners, along with the Ostruppen, get supplies on loan from one of Earth's governments, with Daskter acting as their sponsor. They travel to an unsettled Plane and begin to establish a home. Eventually, lost travelers find their way, and a small town is established as a peaceful place to live in.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Red Army Swordsman:
His dueling skills seemingly unused, the Red Army Swordsman opts to travel the Planes, looking for a warrior strong enough to give him a perfect battle, yet weak enough to not instantly decimate him. But in the process of traveling, he learns that there is more than fighting. And when he finally finds an opponent that would certainly kill him, but not before the kind of adrenaline-inducing fight most warriors can only dream of... he opts to retire instead.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

The Dark One:
The Dark One finally figures out how to take his armor off. The moment he does so, his edginess factor drops to 10% of its original capacity. Before long, he's settled down with a nice standard nuclear family.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

LIVE Space Station, all Space Station assets, Prism Deployer, Shield Battery:
The LIVE Space Station returns, but its crew finds itself restless. Some retire and set off to join the general population, but others stick around. Initially thought to be a space exploration vessel, it soon finds itself with a new purpose: Exploring dangerous planes! Its large size, powerful scanning devices, and high amount of defenses and shields make it perfect for scouting vast area of dangerous unexplored Planes that would take smaller vessels or groups of explorers years. CompTIA and its crew find joy in exploration and learning, and even the occasional previously undiscovered new species...
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

King DDD:
King DDD mysteriously disappeared shortly after the war. Rumors later began circulating on the internet of an abnormal Kirby Dream Land cartridge, with an oddly exuberant King DDD as the final boss...
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

The Restorer:
Became a world-famous medic, using her magic to save otherwise unsalvagable critical patients. Many politicians and rich people offered her ludicrous sums to act as her personal medic, but the Restorer refused, always absolutely following the Hippocratic oath and going where they were most needed.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Ash Aragami:
The Ash Aragami found an empty Plane with the perfect nesting spots, and began to make more and more Aragami. Before long, an ecosystem emerged, and the Plane became known as the Plane of dragons. Despite tense diplomatic relations, they mostly kept to themselves, and Dragon_Of_Hope was always their honored guest.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Josuke:
Feeling rather awkward having joined right at the end and sort of piggybacking to success, Josuke just decided to go back to a quiet life in Morioh, a small town somewhere.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Psychic Overlord II:
Became a Plane-famous psychic, traveling to the various Planes and putting on fantastic magic and psychic power shows. Frequently dueled other psychics, and always came out the victor.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

TOG XXXXII/The Tank:
The Tank rolled out of the LIFE Stasis Pod, wondering how its giant self had even managed to fit in there in the first place. Nonetheless, it was promptly acquired by Earth's army, and shown to oohing and aahing crowds in many parades. During the clean-up period where the last vestiges of the Godmodder's once-great army needed to be removed, the Tank was sometimes deployed solo. Of course, the enemy was always absolutely obliterated every single time. Its final fate was in the Great Player and Godmodder Museum, where it was well-polished, well-taken-care-of, and well-admired by many visitors. Its recon shell remained forever unfired - but always there should it be needed.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Temporal Guardian:
The Temporal Guardian pseudo-retired, opting not to fight. He retreated to one of the less-populated Planes, and lived a fairly nomadic lifestyle. He could, however, be found giving time-based advice to whoever would seek him out. He used his immortality to relax, and still do his valuable work ensuring that the timeline was never split in two.
Alt: Just before Reality ended, the Temporal Guardian fled to the past, finding an empty Plane to camp out in. They spent thousands of years wrestling with Reality's inescapable fate, having no contact with any other beings of any kind, knowing that any attempt to change things would only result in things becoming a million times worse. They stayed in an empty Plane and tried to ignore Reality's fate, but found themselves unable to sleep... ever. Their immortality twisted in on itself, as they repeatedly warped back in time, going back and forth between trying to always be somewhere new so as to avoid seeing one of their past or future selves, or to give up and allow the end of Reality to take them as well. Finally, one night, it became too much to bear, and they went back in time to before Reality began. It is impossible to say what became of them after that.

Mark III Tactical Flashbang:
Becoming a new officer of the International Police Force, they traveled to critical hostage situations, and used their stunning power to stun large groups of criminals, allowing the police to take them in without killing them. The lives of many hostages in many hostage situations were saved thanks to their service.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Magitek Servitor Factory, Servitors:
The Servitors and their parent factory, being machines, had trouble adjusting. The Servitors eventually had their functions altered to become new all-purpose robots, with many of their original combat functions removed. Whether for construction, servitude, or search-and-rescue, the Servitors were all-purpose robots that found themselves in the hands of many upper-class family homes.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Hellfire Crystal Golem:
Traveled to the ruins of Hell, and took a nice warm bath. Eventually, they got bored, and decided to return to their friend Rotaz. Together, they worked to make crystals that have healing properties be actually a real thing, instead of something New Age hippies believe in.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

Rotaz:
Rotaz became one of the most famous inventors to ever live, living a full life of brilliance until a peaceful retirement and death. Their inventions were credited by historians to have eventually made the cost of Inter-Plane travel to be less expensive than a regular plane ticket.
Alt: Perished as Reality itself ended.

OOC: Your entities have had their storied resolved. With this, entities can no longer be created. They will likely be unnecessary for the coming fights. The next update comes soon!

[Crusher48]

Wait a minute, I should be charging CP! We can use it for extra actions later on!

Focused Action: Charge 3 CP. I also try to claim I was totally charging CP all along during the last few updates. Yes I know raw power will be useless, but I'd like some extra actions at key moments.

 

[JOEbobobob]

[1x] I ask GoMaK if they can(as in are willing to) use LearnAbout! on Something for me, while giving them an attack shield, just in case.

[1x] Hah! no, I'm not using the 'Higher Cosmic Court of Inter-Plane affairs'! No, I'm using the Joebobian miniverses (staffed almost-entirely by mini-JOEbobs) embedded in every atom or indivisible unit, with control over said atom or indivisible unit! I've mentioned them several times! Using the argument listed earlier, the Joebobian universes are convinced that I'm technically correct (the best kind of correct) about The Truth's author being guilty of slander and false advertising, and therefore broadcast the JOEbobian order for the appropriate measures to be taken against him or her, keeping them from breathing, talking, possibly thinking depending on substrate, and so on.

[1x]On that note, I remind the Miniverses that the Godmodder failed to show up and present his case in the trial that began just prior to The Wall sealing him off, and in fact did not acknowledge said trial in any discernible way prior to said sealing- or afterwards. They should make him pay fees- contempt of the court at least. nothing too major, just a slap on the wrist since he had an... okish... reason; just one damage next time they can reach him. or something like that.

[1cp] I build something similar to my infinite-storage stasis machine plan in a hole in the ground near the stasis machine,set up the simulator I need, using FTL signalling for infinite computation and so on,add a hookup field...
Then, I have the stasis machine catch anyone who dies and isn't an entity, and drop them into the hole (wherapon they will be still alive and in the simulator until the end of reality or dismantling of the hole), and also tell the machine (if i can control it enough to do so) to grab as many future deaths as it safely can (as there are no entities left, but it can probably hold more then it's holding, right?).

 

[Gnich]

I blink, take a second to look at the popcorn machine gun, and smack myself for not remembering this before. What goes great with popcorn?....... I dunno, I suddenly forget my train of thought and shrug. Might as well expand my food arsenal.

I FOCUS on a melee option.
A saber appears at my side, the blade composed of hard, dry dough and sharpened to an almost impossible edge, while slathered in burning cheese(half burnt, half flaming). For some reason, the dough is impervious to the cheese' burning, though I don't think the same can be said about other people.

I feel quite accomplished with this. Dry, and burning pasta coming right up

 

[Alastair Dragovich]

Still time?

I consider....I have three Actions.

I guess with the First, I ask Micheal if he can tell us how Tribulation 5 wil go, or if there is anything they can say.

With the second, I go to GOMAK... and show him The Truth. "Who wrote this? He's coming and he's a huge Godmodder supporter."

And now... I pull out the X-Blade.

Should I Keyheart someone now or later? There's nothing happening now. But we wouldn't know who needs Keyhearting and who doesn't. So I'm going to leave it to a vote:

Keyheart now or later? And who if now? It'd basically allow anyone to survive a Mortal Action should we need to use one...

 

[Ranger_Strider_]

All I can do.... is charge x3.

 

[Strider626]

Okay now am more paranoid than earlier
I still retain that power to see godmodder trickery
And nothing.... Maybe he covered what he's gonna do with a layer of nothing
Don't ask me how that works but it's the god modder
Godmodder with no tricks.... no way!!!


I boost my ability ash killing bones (not exactly sure if this is the name)
Now i have the same abilities that Kaguya had
But the the bones are now more powerful

Ie, now can fire bones that disintegrates even gods
Also am keeping my three eyes peeled
Just in case ya know

 

[Krill13]

Eyowe, somehow mistaking 23 rocks he found on the ground as his CP, tries to create a yo-yo to play around with using said CP(rocks).

Also, if it's just been left there, Eyowe takes the armor the Dark One took off and equips it back on, taking the incoming pain as if it were a Clifford-sized pet dog about to pounce on him.

 

[Paradoxdragonpaci]

I psych myself up for the Final Battle

 

[WHM Sukamia]

Alright, the Ash Aragami's good ending made me a bit happy, since they are one of my longest living and most useful entities and everything. And I just like it.

I give Excalibur a bit more charge.

 

[That-Random-Guy]

Nothing much left to do . . .

I vote that (and try to give) the 100000 CP crystal to Michael.

"He has far more use for it than us. I am sure Heaven can figure out how to extract and use small amounts of CP at a time, and the potential benefit for the peoples of reality is immense."

 

[Bill Nye]

I draw out my 2 swords I have in my inventory and just wait for something to happen

 

[Exoskeletal65]

I crack my knuckles, ready a copious amount of guns, prepare my abilities, and take a knee.

"Once more unto the breach..."

 

[GoldHero101]

I prepare.

3 ACTION FOCUS - SET THE SPOTLIGHT: I pull out a jukebox, which plays: . Yep. The Dragon Quest 11 Theme. Amazing.

 

[Ender_Smirk]

The Heir just waits, as he has the last couple updates. Nothing better to do.

 

[CaptainNZZZ]

Ah...now the stress and anxiety can begin fading. The construction of the giga-fortress fortunately proved a capable distraction, saving me the pain of saying good bye. With Reality in such dire straits and the Godmodder's might, survival is simply not guaranteed. If I just continue to treat this situation like a...temporary break everything will be fine. Like Evacucorp, everything will be fine.

Just focus on the positives and no sorrow will be revealed.

Without entities on the field, I can finally act more towards my interests than the AG side's interests. The Neutraladder is a brutal mistress in terms of not working with the AGers but now I don't have to constantly tiptoe around to avoid my entities being massacred by both the AGers and the PGers. That alone lightens the burden on my shoulders almost as much as no longer living in fear of losing my entities does!

...oh, right, I have actions to use! Preparing for the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny! I'm sure I can figure out something.

Let's see, the Godmodder Tracker V1.0 has been described as not functioning. However, as any mechanic can tell you, this is an easy fix. A few whacks with a wrench and functionality will be restored to the Godmodder Tracker V1.0. (x1)

Then, I RSVP for the next Tribulation. It's always polite to inform the host(s) you're attending the event and RSVPing provides benefits like space for your vehicle. After all, my zeppelin requires a lot space to fit. (x1)

Finally, I send Evacucorp an apology letter. While Evacucorp did wrong me and my entities via bureaucracy, I did cause them a fair amount of trouble. Destroyed security forces, a disrupted waiting room, helping Cloak break out an ancient entity, stealing, and more. I maintain that my actions during the side quest was justified but I can recognize the damage I dealt to Evacucorp.

The letter is fairly short and so generic I'm not even writing it but, honestly, that fits for Evacucorp. Add in how long it took for me to create and send this letter out on a dimension hopping robot...it really fits the Evacucorp mold. It will take an eternity for the letter to have any chance of escaping the automated bureaucracy but oh well, I've eliminated any miniscule level of guilt for what I did. Woooo mildly freer conscious! (x1)

 

[Cephalos Jr.]

I charge 3 CP.

0 --> 3 CP

 

[Moniker]

Wait a minute, I should be charging CP! We can use it for extra actions later on!

Focused Action: Charge 3 CP. I also try to claim I was totally charging CP all along during the last few updates. Yes I know raw power will be useless, but I'd like some extra actions at key moments.

Click to shrink...

Using CP for a fourth action is no longer allowed at this point.

Nonetheless. +3 CP.

[1x] I ask GoMaK if they can(as in are willing to) use LearnAbout! on Something for me, while giving them an attack shield, just in case.

[1x] Hah! no, I'm not using the 'Higher Cosmic Court of Inter-Plane affairs'! No, I'm using the Joebobian miniverses (staffed almost-entirely by mini-JOEbobs) embedded in every atom or indivisible unit, with control over said atom or indivisible unit! I've mentioned them several times! Using the argument listed earlier, the Joebobian universes are convinced that I'm technically correct (the best kind of correct) about The Truth's author being guilty of slander and false advertising, and therefore broadcast the JOEbobian order for the appropriate measures to be taken against him or her, keeping them from breathing, talking, possibly thinking depending on substrate, and so on.

[1x]On that note, I remind the Miniverses that the Godmodder failed to show up and present his case in the trial that began just prior to The Wall sealing him off, and in fact did not acknowledge said trial in any discernible way prior to said sealing- or afterwards. They should make him pay fees- contempt of the court at least. nothing too major, just a slap on the wrist since he had an... okish... reason; just one damage next time they can reach him. or something like that.

[1cp] I build something similar to my infinite-storage stasis machine plan in a hole in the ground near the stasis machine,set up the simulator I need, using FTL signalling for infinite computation and so on,add a hookup field...
Then, I have the stasis machine catch anyone who dies and isn't an entity, and drop them into the hole (wherapon they will be still alive and in the simulator until the end of reality or dismantling of the hole), and also tell the machine (if i can control it enough to do so) to grab as many future deaths as it safely can (as there are no entities left, but it can probably hold more then it's holding, right?).

The JOEbobian universes were already stopped by the incredibly numerous anti-JOEbob agencies who intervened earlier in the game.

GOMAK: ...Just tell me what you want. Well, no, it looks like you're about to leave, so... nevermind.

Using CP for extra actions is disabled.

I blink, take a second to look at the popcorn machine gun, and smack myself for not remembering this before. What goes great with popcorn?....... I dunno, I suddenly forget my train of thought and shrug. Might as well expand my food arsenal.

I FOCUS on a melee option.
A saber appears at my side, the blade composed of hard, dry dough and sharpened to an almost impossible edge, while slathered in burning cheese(half burnt, half flaming). For some reason, the dough is impervious to the cheese' burning, though I don't think the same can be said about other people.

I feel quite accomplished with this. Dry, and burning pasta coming right up

Click to shrink...

You get the DELICIOUS SWORD! Maybe it could fill up whatever enemy you face next, make them get full, and then they'll go to sleep and you can take them out?

Still time?

I consider....I have three Actions.

I guess with the First, I ask Micheal if he can tell us how Tribulation 5 wil go, or if there is anything they can say.

With the second, I go to GOMAK... and show him The Truth. "Who wrote this? He's coming and he's a huge Godmodder supporter."

And now... I pull out the X-Blade.

Should I Keyheart someone now or later? There's nothing happening now. But we wouldn't know who needs Keyhearting and who doesn't. So I'm going to leave it to a vote:

Keyheart now or later? And who if now? It'd basically allow anyone to survive a Mortal Action should we need to use one...

Click to shrink...

Michael: ... I ...

Michael looks away. Looking away doesn't suit an angel. You feel dread.

Michael: ...Have faith.

GOMAK: With my knowledge, I see...

GOMAK: Ah. His name is The Writer. And his ability is to... rewrite Reality, or at least very small portions of it. Be careful.

All I can do.... is charge x3.

Click to shrink...

Okay now am more paranoid than earlier
I still retain that power to see godmodder trickery
And nothing.... Maybe he covered what he's gonna do with a layer of nothing
Don't ask me how that works but it's the god modder
Godmodder with no tricks.... no way!!!


I boost my ability ash killing bones (not exactly sure if this is the name)
Now i have the same abilities that Kaguya had
But the the bones are now more powerful

Ie, now can fire bones that disintegrates even gods
Also am keeping my three eyes peeled
Just in case ya know

Click to shrink...

You three eyes are PEELED! You see in every direction! And you can DEFINITELY see that the Godmodder's Terminal Area appears to be at the bottom of a massive sky-scraping elevator that stretches straight towards the clouds!

You now have SUPER BONES. Use this power wisely.

Eyowe, somehow mistaking 23 rocks he found on the ground as his CP, tries to create a yo-yo to play around with using said CP(rocks).

Also, if it's just been left there, Eyowe takes the armor the Dark One took off and equips it back on, taking the incoming pain as if it were a Clifford-sized pet dog about to pounce on him.

Click to shrink...

You are now wearing GODMODDER ARMOR. It's incredibly durable, but also really, really hurts. Constantly. Ow.

You deploy your own powers to inject yourself with amphetamines and mitigate some of the pain. If you need to use your powers for other things while wearing the armor, you might start to become injured.

I psych myself up for the Final Battle

Click to shrink...

Do some calisthenics... deep breathing... here goes...!

Alright, the Ash Aragami's good ending made me a bit happy, since they are one of my longest living and most useful entities and everything. And I just like it.

I give Excalibur a bit more charge.

Click to shrink...

Nothing much left to do . . .

I vote that (and try to give) the 100000 CP crystal to Michael.

"He has far more use for it than us. I am sure Heaven can figure out how to extract and use small amounts of CP at a time, and the potential benefit for the peoples of reality is immense."

Click to shrink...

If several Players vote for it, it will be done.

I draw out my 2 swords I have in my inventory and just wait for something to happen

Click to shrink...

Your eye twitches... ANY MOMENT NOW...

I crack my knuckles, ready a copious amount of guns, prepare my abilities, and take a knee.

"Once more unto the breach..."

Click to shrink...

I prepare.

3 ACTION FOCUS - SET THE SPOTLIGHT: I pull out a jukebox, which plays: . Yep. The Dragon Quest 11 Theme. Amazing.

Click to shrink...

Everyone taps their feet, some of the tension lifting. Just LISTENING to this is making you more prepared!

Ah...now the stress and anxiety can begin fading. The construction of the giga-fortress fortunately proved a capable distraction, saving me the pain of saying good bye. With Reality in such dire straits and the Godmodder's might, survival is simply not guaranteed. If I just continue to treat this situation like a...temporary break everything will be fine. Like Evacucorp, everything will be fine.

Just focus on the positives and no sorrow will be revealed.

Without entities on the field, I can finally act more towards my interests than the AG side's interests. The Neutraladder is a brutal mistress in terms of not working with the AGers but now I don't have to constantly tiptoe around to avoid my entities being massacred by both the AGers and the PGers. That alone lightens the burden on my shoulders almost as much as no longer living in fear of losing my entities does!

...oh, right, I have actions to use! Preparing for the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny! I'm sure I can figure out something.

Let's see, the Godmodder Tracker V1.0 has been described as not functioning. However, as any mechanic can tell you, this is an easy fix. A few whacks with a wrench and functionality will be restored to the Godmodder Tracker V1.0. (x1)

Then, I RSVP for the next Tribulation. It's always polite to inform the host(s) you're attending the event and RSVPing provides benefits like space for your vehicle. After all, my zeppelin requires a lot space to fit. (x1)

Finally, I send Evacucorp an apology letter. While Evacucorp did wrong me and my entities via bureaucracy, I did cause them a fair amount of trouble. Destroyed security forces, a disrupted waiting room, helping Cloak break out an ancient entity, stealing, and more. I maintain that my actions during the side quest was justified but I can recognize the damage I dealt to Evacucorp.

The letter is fairly short and so generic I'm not even writing it but, honestly, that fits for Evacucorp. Add in how long it took for me to create and send this letter out on a dimension hopping robot...it really fits the Evacucorp mold. It will take an eternity for the letter to have any chance of escaping the automated bureaucracy but oh well, I've eliminated any miniscule level of guilt for what I did. Woooo mildly freer conscious! (x1)

Click to shrink...

The Godmodder Tracker's functionality is restored!

You send an RSVP. You don't know where it's going. But it is sent.

You send a letter to Evacucorp. Assuming Evacucorp still exists by then, in three days time you can expect to receive a curtly worded letter demanding a fine of several million dollars be paid. Ah well.

I charge 3 CP.

You finish waiting around. With a sudden click and a judder, the Godmodder's elevator begins to slowly lift off the ground! As Altair looks on, his face alight with quiet fury, the Godmodder gives one last grin before standing back. The elevator begins to move faster and faster as it rises.

Up above, you see clouds. If Arsenical were here, he'd recognize them as Heaven's clouds. Normally they look bright and joyous, but right now, they look dark and stormy. The Godmodder will soon ascend into Heaven, where he will begin the 5th Tribulation alone.

Altair: Something's not right.

Altair: Come on, let's follow him.

Each of you leaps in the air, and summons up some type of rising device. Levitation, jetpacks, or in Dragon_of_Hope's case, an actual dragon to ride. You move towards where the Godmodder's elevator is, but it keeps going faster! And faster!

Suddenly, about three-fourths of the way up, it comes to a sudden halt.

Right next to the elevator, a portal opens up, a small platform for standing on spawning in the middle of the air. An arm reaches around and grasps the portal before pulling a man through, dressed in fancy formal clothing.

???: I've done it. I've escaped The Ruins.

???: And with perfect timing.

The Godmodder presses a button in the elevator, and opens up a small slit for talking.

The Godmodder: Give it here. I'm in a hurry, and the Players are following you.

???: Take it.

The new individual slides a note through the slip. A tiny post-it note. Nobody sees what's on it.

The Godmodder grabs the Post-it note and takes a look at it. He turns it around, and looks at the back.

The Godmodder: I understand.

???: Godmodder... before you go... I have one final request.

???: The new Reality. I would ask that you-

The Godmodder: No. Goodbye.

The Godmodder closes the slit and presses another button. The elevator begins to move again. At precisely that point, you arrive.

Altair: Players! You deal with whoever this loser is. It'll probably be useless, but I'm going to try and stop the Tribulation battle.

The newcomer looks like Altair's lack of acknowledgement has ruffled his feathers a little. Altair flies away, towards a higher point on the elevator's chain.

The newcomer turns towards you, ignoring Altair. He speaks

???: Players... It is good to at last meet you. I have heard so much about you.

He spots a book in your inventory. The Truth.

???: Ah... you've read my book!

???: I am The Writer. In terms of pure strength, I am weak.

The Writer: But I can rewrite pieces of Reality into whatever I choose. I may not be able to beat you.

The Writer: I do not NEED to beat you. Soon, the 5th Tribulation will begin, and the Godmodder will gain the power to remake this Reality!

The Writer: When he does so, all the hopelessness, the pain of it all... it will all be erased.

The Writer: I don't expect you to give up. Throw your attacks at me all you like. They won't work.

GOMAK: The post-it note... he masked whatever was on it, even from me!

GOMAK: Players! Try to find out what it was! It must have been the assignment mentioned at the end of The Truth...

GOMAK: For now, I'm going to join your friends. But before that, let me help.

GOMAK closes his eyes, and sticks his hands straight out. A floor made out of magic appears, covering a decent distance around the small platform The Writer is standing on. You have a platform for the battle!

GOMAK flies off to help the others. It looks like it's up to you once again.

The Writer: If you don't attack me, nothing bad will happen to you.

The Writer: But my power is the representation of the utter uselessness of everything in this Reality.

The Writer: No matter what you do, you can't hurt me. It's hopeless.

The Writer: You think you can change Reality, just because you're Players...? I'll show you otherwise. I'll show you the Truth!

-----------

The Writer is a powerful foe! You'll need to deal with him somehow! You could probably flee from this fight, but the Godmodder's safe in his elevator... you need to know what The Writer did to aid the Godmodder!

There are two ways to defeat the Writer. The first is to get past his powers and land a hit on him. The second is to engage him in debate, and lower his Nihilism to 0! It doesn't matter how, but you need to do it.

If you want to attack him, you'll need to deal with his power. He has the power to overwrite your own posts.

Defeat the Writer!

[Crusher48]

Action 1: Most of the horror of this reality comes from the Godmodder himself. After his arrival on Earth, everything on Earth has gotten worse. Before, we had crackpot dictators, dumb presidents, and the odd criminal. But afterwards?

His arrival made a massive chunk of the planet uninhabitable. Every time he got past the barrier designed to keep him in the uninhabitable area, more people died. The arms race between Player and Godmodder resulted in a distribution of technology that destabilized the remaining world, and the Players couldn't deal with those issues (partly because players are weaker outside the proximity of a godmodder, and partly because they were busy fighting a worse threat).

Thus, why would the Godmodder make reality better? What if he decides that his ideal reality is one where everyone is constantly tortured for his amusement? Would that truly be better than the current reality? And would it be better than the reality that would have happened had he never appeared?

For that matter, if you believe reality needs to be rewritten, why have Verraad do it? Why not rewrite it yourself? Or share the power with everyone and let them work together to form the best reality possible?
