I stop mourning the loss of Le Quack long enough to shoutCOMPLETE OVERPOWERED abilities granted by MR GOODY TWO SHOES CHRISTIAN GOD MAN
Just like the Gods in RuneScape. Denied an Afterlife at all on the basis that they had Godhood.No afterlife for that guy. An eternity of torture would be far too little - much better to remove him from existence entirely.
Greeeeat, now there are Gold Denarius floating around. Just what everyone needs... then again minus all the other stuff turning his ashes into cursed gold sounds like something I would do. Alternatively shoving it out into the Void of Unexistence or subjecting it to Vacuum Decay also is something I would do.You scoop up the Godmodder's ashes. Better make sure these get sorted properly. First, you stomp on the ashes, then set on them fire, turning them into ashes of ashes. Then, the ashes of ashes have all their molecules split back into atoms, and the atoms reformed into gold. The gold is then minted into gold coins, and the gold coins are traded in for cash with a local gold investment firm, and then the cash is used to buy essential oils! Now, the Godmodder's body is gone forever!
Well I came late and threw a possessed Rubber Duck so I just 'port out just as confused as to how I got here as when I started... then again I have no clue if this part is generalized to everyone or only the ones who died either way I still 'port out.You suddenly feel... so exhausted. All the fighting, and your Player powers have been draining the whole time... the adrenaline high of the final fight is wearing off quickly. You don't have long.
I pull Replenishing Ray out of my Archive-Do you have any last-minute things you want to take care of?
-----------
(OOC: Last chance to do stuff! The next post will be the ending.)
I get in touch with long forgotten past-self and fix up a bunch of temporal loops I had running. Or Void<>Time? Or a lot of things I left laying around.
And I decide to go back, pocket universe various different things left behind by my efforts, plot threads, tvtropes buses, the sort of thing. Like the Super Absol (Absol is my favorite pokemon, so its not surprising I acted in that way) we made leave and convinced to stop fighting and put it in a pocket-harddrive. For reasons. Also I say hi to Morpheus and apologize to Morpheus for giving up, locating him with another invisible past-temporal ghost observation. The game of players and godmodders gets quite tough, its not surprising someone would break. In fact, it should be expected someone in a high-stress environment of warfare would break, when justice, emotions, and logic contradict in a person. Yet another method used by the Godmodder. Good news though, What Godmodder? I think the most pressing question now outside of what happens to...
Whatever is left of reality? The Godmodder really did a number on reality. Sure that nifty robot thing I saw might help but come on. I don't even think with dedicated player support for years at our current power level we'd be able to fix this, let alone deal with the pressing morality questions of trying to do so, and how to do so. There are simply too much, through I might be wrong. Not to mention the whole "Oh shoot we got literally nothing and we are going to run out of power soon." Assuming if Sbrub doesn't become a thing and do it for us, or a sbrub-like, or simply a universe resetter thingy.
It shows truly, that no one ever expected a Godmodder to get to this level of destruction or accomplishment. No one had plans to deal with this. People and gods and arbiters just thought "Oh, lets just have players and godmodders battle it out. Problem solved." Without really thinking of the future consequences or scary potential. A dedicated operation performed by multiple powerful parties probably could of burned out any and all traces of the Godmodder line before this ever got in hand: Instead they talked about non-interference and what-not.
There is no hard solution to this: Player powers are truly quite limited in this regard, for all their power in the moment, powerful long term actions using big giant entities tend to get outpowered by a Godmodder quite easily (through, truly, I would not be surprised if the Godmodder ended up meeting their defeat by the Deleter if that timeline went on and the Deleter ravenously hunted the Godmodder down instead of randomly focusing on random things. But so would everything else sooo...)
However, there is a "It just works" solution to this sort of thing. A Voidship, a type of vessel capable of traveling the void inbetween worlds? Or not. Staffed by a limited construction robots whose sole purpose is to break into the void and grow enough to do so and to maintain the ship and apply upgrades if needed, equipped with Peacekeeper anti-godmodder mind control tech and equipped with the most valuable things out there: My stuff and entities I gathered and a detailed log of the events surrounding the Godmodder and about the Godmodder's and reality. In addition, I add some pretty good sensors capable of detecting changes to the fabric of reality, which activates a time-lock to prevent an attempted reality reset the ship while the sensors continue to detect an attempt to conceptually destroy or reset the ship. This isn't the best way to deal with something like this, but its cheap, at least. I create ftl comms that I can get in touch with the Voidship in case I need to. Its programmed to fly towards universes that experience changes in the fabric of reality constantly, and its powered by...
I really can't think of something to power it. Reality is.... Not in the best state at the moment. How about Krads. I create an anagramimator that converts darks (color) to Krads (Jokium^3) which is a joke. This makes up the elment, Jokium^3 which is the sequel? to Homestuck^2 mixed with a house, a copy of minecraft, and moth memes. Then I just rawconvert player power to start up the engine by putting some into the battery. And I add some solar panels, just in case, because solar panels are the best invention since the wheel. Then I pull together the internetal belief and determination powers of "Big Giant Gun" and Gun attacks are supereffective against enemies that are weak to gun and attach a gun to it. a gigantic monster of a machine gun that fires in space using Jokium^4, made by fusing Jokium^3 with itself, or something. Do I look like a person who knows how math works? Then, I add a witness protection system of the most loyal guards created by the government to guard the witnesses to reality, assuming everything decides to reset again. They are given free will to act and its their job to interpret the sensors and protect the valuable witnesses on board the Voidship.
Then, I summon the greatest of defenses the Voidship could ever have, the "Go to sleep" defense powered by a thousand annoying (and unannoying and awesome!) sidekicks through the most railroading anti-choice power of memetical video game artistry. This projects an immense desire to go to sleep to any hostiles near the Voidship. Even if someone is immune to sleep, like robots, it'll project "You look tired" that makes them irritated, because they aren't tired at all! A perfect way to unhinge your enemy before and during a battle. The "Sleepy Sidekick Club" that powers the defense is located onboard the Voidship in its own area.
Various different entities and allies and friends I have gathered are allowed to leave the device, and a "Digital Storificationinizer" device is created to store and remove entities in and out of the chronostorage of digital space. Speaking of Digital Space, I program an extensive utopia-like playground manipulating coding on a soulualar level, making people within able to manipulate the data. An example of a preloaded game is "Defeat the Godmodder" a game where a bunch of players have to fight against the (Really advanced AI controlled) Godmodder in a soul orb, with lots of plot twists, deaths, and creativity and stuff.
The Most Important purpose of the Digital Setup is to create a data storage assembly of everything that can be broadcasted and spammed everywhere in sight, like a sheriff reading "Here's my will" over and over again in a game about finding the bad guys, repeating it over and over again pointlessly.
So I send it outwards, been alerted by my other self of the future to come? Vagueness is annoying with time travel sometimes. I wonder if it is even the right timeline my future self is talking about. Better safe than sorry.
Maybe it'll get lost and end up nowhere. Who knows. It's a good effort nonetheless I suppose. I name it the Void Absol, after how Absols can sense incoming disaster and were originally mistaken for being the cause of said disasters they predict originally.
I just sit down in my house, bowl of cheesy popcorn next to me, dog in my lap, nudging my hand. Well, this was fun. We should do this again sometime guys." Grins and does a little salute. " Let me know if you guys find another Godmodder, eh?"
And so I stay there, my vegetables growing in the garden outside, rain softly pattering against the roof of my house, a nice fire going inside. It was very peaceful. I had used the last of my power to mke the weather change to whenever I wanted around the house.
And thus ended this chapter.
"Alice, thank you for the offer of a new body. I'll be taking you up on that."
Using my Player Powers, I take the entirety of this story, everything that happened that we saw or experienced, from the moment Captain Cat first splashed into the puddle to right now, and place it into a single volume.
"Someone's got to tell the story of this war, and make sure the memory doesn't die out. After all, there might one day arise a new threat similar to the old. A new Cycle of Godmodders, or a Go An Na, or something more powerful still. But if the peoples of reality can see and remember how we stood and fought and won, they will have hope and fight the new threats, in their own time."
"As for myself? I will see that this book is published, archived, double-archived, time capsuled, and in general do anything I can to preserve its contents for the future and make sure that the world understands what we have given them. And then? Who knows?"
That-Random-Guy looks at the Miniscule Speck of Infinite Potential he made last turn, and shrugs.
"A new body would be good."
This certainly will save a great deal of trouble arranging a non-backgrounder body. The Speck will become a power source sooner rather than later.
Relevance, power, wealth . . . a good life lies ahead, and in all likelihood it'll be (made) infinitely long.
I refuse to participate in the final sacrifice except through explaining why it should be easier then they seem think and using rational debate, without any actual player actions being invested- and don't bother with anything about bodies, I made myself another one pages and pages ago, remember? a quite versatile one, actually. And I know player powers can make things good enough for remaining within the non-afterlife plains on the basis that Fred, and on the basis that the last stand 'godmodders empire destroying' actions worked, and probably loads of other things.
When the player powers slowly fade away, if they do, I look back at the infinity charmzard energy. obviously it's still there because there's infinity of it, and that seems like a good source of power for the rest of forever. Obviously, I'll only use it indirectly in case the Godmodder left something behind- charmzard energy heating up something and the heat being used as power, maybe. Does it matter? not really. And while losing player powers will make it harder to turn thoughts into reality, I've set up some pretty good basis-es for it. Nanotech in my second body, design specs from all the Stasis Machines members who wanted to help out(before they got turned loose, I mean.) for basically anything, and so on. And the stasis machine is still in operation. Even if I can't duplicate it directly without player powers, it shouldn't be Too hard to figure out how it works and extend it- the existing afterlives are both wrecked and, near as i can tell, not-so-great...
Point is, one of the pillars on which my power to do things was built may be crumbling, but I possess the faculty to create new ones, and that metaphorical Pillar wasn't the most necessary either- just convenient.
also, if I have enough power with my current player powers to just sorta make the anti-joebob agencies stop working (or make them never target me against because Technically, my name has been JObob since the end of Paradox Billiards), without removing the power I planned for the above or the important parts of the actions i posted before the Godmodder Soul "battle", I do so.
Well... I reckon that's that....
Shadrix looks back at the battlefield. He then looks back at the Bill Nye blueprints
So... what are you thinking about?
I wonder... if there is some way I can.....
be right back.
Shadrix goes back to the storage area and opens the door. in the corner of the room, is a beaten Bill Nye. Still there. Shadrix takes him to the workshop and starts taking pieces off of him. He takes off enough pieces to show the core. The core is very cold. Shadrix unplugs the core and sets it on another table. Shadrix then breaths a sigh of relief.
I hope I still have this...
He puts his palms out on the core. His Player Power starts to shine through. He builds a new core. A core that is not dependent on Player Power. The core looks sleek and new. He smiles at his new accomplishment. He then places the core inside Bill Nye. Once that happens, his old body starts to reconstruct itself to the core's design. The new body looks like the Iron Man suit Mark 50 if it was all Black and red in some spots.
You are a player?
Shadrix turns to see a surprised Kirby looking dead at him.
Was.... a player. Not anymore.
I was a player in another Universe... I just saved what was left of my player powers after we defeated a different Godmodder. I didn't tell you because I didn't think it mattered. ....heh... to be honest, I was in the same position as Bill here...
.........
Before... if I knew that I can just fix my mistakes by going to the past, I would have done it a long time ago. But now.... these mistakes. My....failures, they will stick with me until the heat death of the universe. But... they are also what makes me strong.
And... it has lead me to build Bill here.... Sure, This universes' Godmodder was a pain, sure. But it wasn't the real reason I built Bill here...
You wanted to test something... didn't you?
I wanted to see if building a younger, robotic version of me can defeat the Godmodder. And my test was a success. Those fake memories... those were my memories.
He gives a sigh.
No time dwelling in the past. Let's see the finale... again.
Shadrix and Kirby both walk back to the cockpit.
So... how many Godmodders have you beaten in this vast Multiverses? I don't remember.
I have fought against many Godmodders in my millions of years of living... and I won against them all. However this one... was different... in a good way, of course.
Maybe someday you will probably face a Godmodder that is too much for you.
Well, when that day comes...
He looks back at the Communications room
.......I won't be alone.
With John Smith gone for good, (Well seemingly anyway) I take a sit as I feel exhaustion start to take hold. "Getting my body back, Returning home and being able to live out my days would be nice. Not quite sure what I'll do but I can probably find something, Thank you Alice." I say before then shifting to my own thoughts. 'Hmm, lazying around in a rural town for a bit might be nice. Or maybe help with any reconstruction efforts for the damaged John caused, Assuming that there is any damage that needs to be fixed.' Shifting my body a little bit and I cross my legs and place my right hand under my chin as I think a little bit more.
'Hmm maybe first see if there is any reconstruction efforts going on, If there is then lend a hand somehow until it's finished or it's near finished. Then find some place to settle down for some time to relax, Maybe find someone to be with, but I find that last bit unlikely. Afterwards... Eh, Maybe try and become a Astronaut, would be neat.' I muse to myself over vague plans for the future as I sit and I feel my legs start to go to sleep on me. But then looking around I notice the absence of a few people and that leaves one last question that now bothers me.
Forcing myself to stand back up and trying not to wobble I look to Cera. "Say Cera, Did Quinn or any of the Peacekeepers survive?" I have a feeling of what the answer is going to be but I hope that some of them lived. But I am already wondering if any of the remaining power I have left could do anything for them if the worst has come to past.
Well, his situation of birth's a little complicated. Technically he wasn't born to biological parents, but post-revolution still needed a surname. He chose something suitably generic and "citizen of the world" like, as he was but an ordinary man. But Richard Man didn't feel right ("What am I, a Mega Man boss?"), so he went with a synonym, making his full name Richard Person. It just sounded better to him.
_________________________________________________
"Rest in the ultimate peace, John. Maybe if you weren't such a noob you could have avoided this fate." Richard mused as he grabbed some essential oils from the shelves of the convenient market.
"Do we... drink these?" Amelia said in confusion.
"Definitely not." He replied. As he went to pay, ES paused before handing over the cash. This cash came from a coin that held the atomic structure of John Smith, a Godmodder. A weighty thing to be connected to such a creature, as he supposed he himself was due to the war. He remembered how he came into the Hexagonafield smirking, working with the enemy for a bit of entertainment. Verraad didn't want to be bored, so technically he fought for the same reason. But what could possess a man to fight for amusement not just temporarily with minor stakes, but in such a large conflict in perpetuity?
Hopefully, he never found out himself.
_________________________________________________
"Oh yeah, we're all dead." He said in response to Alice pointing that fact out. "Yeah if you could fix that, that would be ideal personally."
"As for myself," Amelia adopted a stance, crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and focused. "I shall do like I suggested and connect the worlds. We do not all come from the prime Earth." She sucked out some of Richard's power, and prepared to make a network of gently glowing gateways to move between the planes.
"Actually, are you going home?" He asked curiously. "You literally come from the Plane of Zombie Apocalypses. I at least have something worth going back to."
She nodded, completely determined. "I have thought upon it, and I will. With my knowledge, maybe I can break the chains of the cycle, and make it something else. Prevent the many tragedies to come. Maybe I will fail. Either way, I must try."
"Suit yourself. Maybe if your thing works I'll stop by to help." The edgy swordsman smirked and assumed a stance of his own, ready to assist the others in returning the worlds above to their rightful Planes. "Here we go!"
I ponder.
Do I want to move on quite yet?
"I..."
....I spent so much time forced into Godmodding Wars. Even if I still go out to do selfless things... It's okay if I'm a little selfish, right?
I decide to pray to an angel for approval. God... I didn't want to think about that right now, but an Angel should know if it's okay. I get the feeling it's yes, but... Either I live for myself for a while, or hopefully I can enter Heaven.
Still... while I still have these Player Powers...
I use them to find out who the remaining minor deity is that Verraad missed. I want to make sure things won't blow up in our faces after all of this. I guess I'll use them for looking up all the information I could handle on it/them/him/her. The last loose end, after all this.
I wonder if I'll be able to do anything about it afterwards? Who knows. But I figure, like everything else...
It's worth a shot, right?
Piono and Sophia nod to Alice.
"We'll take the bodies. It'd be sorta dumb to have fought so hard for a happy ending and then pass up the chance to keep it."
Piono stops to think for a moment.
"...Am I going to keep any of my elemental powers? I know that's a weird thing to ask but I was never actually... a real person. I started my life as a player entity and"
Sophia puts a hand on Piono's shoulder.
"Hey, it'll be okay. Whatever happens next we can face it together."
"...yeah. Okay. Thank you Alice, whatever it is you do for us."
"I'd appreciate the new body," I say.
I take one last look at the battlefield and let out a weary sigh. I slowly sit down on the ground, suddenly feeling the weight of exhaustion bearing down on me. I look down at myself, at my bloodstained armor and tattered cloak. I'm in pretty rough shape. I'm surprised I'm still clinging to life.
"Y'know, I was kinda looking forward to being able to retire after all this. To finally have a time of peace in my life. I've basically been living a life of war and bloodshed for the entire time I've been alive. Just drifting around aimlessly, bouncing back and forth from one army to another, fighting for this cause or that, really just trying to find some kind of purpose in life."
I chuckle slightly, wincing as one of my wounds starts to ache.
"That's part of the reason I got involved in this godmodding war in the first place. It seemed like an opportunity to do some good, and find something to do with myself, at least for the time being. I was expecting to go back to wandering after this, but..."
I smile faintly.
"...honestly, I've gotten a little attached to all of you. I know I wasn't here for very long - certainly not as long as most of you - but I had a real sense of camaraderie with you. It felt like I finally found a place where I belong.
"...I'm getting kinda sappy, aren't I? Well, I'm sure you all get what I'm trying to say. I'm pretty fond of you all, and whatever happens to us next, I want to say that I've never been prouder to work anyone else. If I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing."
I look to the sky, my eyes lighting up ever so slightly as I behold wondrous vistas above. It's almost enough to bring a tear to my eye. Almost.
"Maybe it's a little early for retirement. There could always be another threat to deal with, right? I don't know how we'd do things without player powers, but I'm sure we'd find a way.
"Besides, we'll always need heroes. We'll always need someone to protect the people who can't protect themselves. We'll always need a light in the black. Only seems right that I be a part of it."
I take a look at my golden gun, watching at the flames slowly die out. My power is fading.
"Guess this version of myself isn't really a guardian. What about the others, I wonder..."
I shake those thoughts from my head. Best not to trouble myself with the other mes. I trust them to sort their things out. For now, best to worry about this version of myself.
I holster the golden gun, which by now has devolved into a simple hand cannon. I produce a bottle of liquor from somewhere and pop it open.
"Here's to everyone who can't stand here and celebrate with us. We couldn't have done it without you."
I take a swig of the drink, offering it to anyone else who's interested. Eventually the bottle runs dry, at which point I discard it.
"And here's to the future, whatever it may hold for us."
I muster up the strength to toss a single flaming knife into the sky, and skeet shoot it with my hand cannon. The knife bursts in a small shower of embers.
"It's been a pleasure, everyone."
Gold smiles. "Well, everyone, it's been a blast, but I must go! The Timeline needs me! But, before that..." Gold summons a fresh greatsword and sticks it in the ground. "To remember me by! Later!" Gold smiles, waves, and jumps into a vortex, returning him to the New Worlds, where he is preparing for his next adventure... and maybe taking a break. I've been Gold y'all, and thanks for the amazing journey. 'Til we meet again!
I awkwardly stop fading away in my cool walk into the distance. I slowly turn around. I walk back to the group.
I supppose I still have some work to do yet. Perhaps designing a system to keep Reality in touch? Bah, who knows. I'm sure I can find something to do before I fix things up in heaven or down in hell.
Well, first I take Excalibur back from Piono, since he never used it. Then, I just open a portal to my Ash Aragami after saying my goodbyes to everyone. I'll just live in peace with Excalibur and the Aragami, besides, eventually I will have an army in the millions of a Godmodder ever shows up again.
....yeah Eyowe is still drinking from his enormous drink. It's positively alcoholic, if that wasn't stated before.
Ah, the end of this Player Status is at hand. A short time from now that now familiar sensation will be gone forever. A bittersweet moment within arm's reach.
With a snap I bring back my items, everything that had vanished right before the Finale truly began. Old and new objects sit side by side for one last time within the nebulous confines of my inventory:
And those old items certainly bring forth old memories. One memory especially proves dominant though, a dream of the creation of a particular entity. An existence long since denied by the demands of this conflict.
Hmmm, but can I really create them? A lot of charging had always been a critical component and I don't have the necessary shenanigans to make up for it. The Ore of Orichalcum is immensely powerful but it needs to remain as untouched as possible if I want it to function as a source for continued power growth...huh. There is one method to achieve results beyond actions and creativity.
Well...time on Earth and/or the afterlife wasn't that tempting anyway. I shall die as I lived: creating entities far greater than I.
Pulling the Remnant crypt energy out of my inventory I take a moment and breath upon the esoteric energy that once granted the Crypt of the Ancients its ability: boosting undead entity creation. I solidify the energy into an arrow of pure darkness...and plunge it into my chest until it penetrates even my very soul.
The pain only quadruples as the Remnant crypt energy is soaked up into my soul where it begins condensing into an array of crystals. A formation of crystals that begin sapping away at the soul they reside in.
"Yes...yes." My words slur as my soul acts as the foundation for a newly forming entity.
Necromantic energy intensifies as my soul fuels its growth, a mass of crystals slowly shifting into a more human form. Anyone peering into my ravaged soul soon find themselves able to comprehend the being being created by my efforts. A being tied inherently to the domain of death yet...somehow not. A entity of death whose very essence contains the kind of life energy you'd expect to find in a human, capable of emotions, joy and...life despite all expectations. A system of life meant to define the who aspect rather than the what aspect.
With the development in progress, my focus turns to the Ore of Orichalcum. The Ore of Orichalcum is a powerful item, able to grant a Player a minor power boost with its sacrifice. Now, I burn the Ore but not for a power boost. No, I instead condense that potent energy and form a relatively simple shell to contain it.
And this newly christened Core of Growth is placed where the heart would be in the largely complete being held in my barely intact soul. Once the entity is out and about, the shell will act as a valve for the contained energy, slowly letting the energy escape at a controlled rate. If turns still mattered, it would be akin to a stat/ability development every turn and with the source used the entity will be able to grow stronger and more versatile simply as time goes by.
Of course, once that's finished the entity awakens. Eyes open as I project my mind directly into my soul, effectively astral protecting into my barely functioning soul. Normally that's a fairly reckless move but at this point...it hardly matters.
"Greetings and welcome to existence, Master of Death." My mind self declares despite its form shifting and shimmering as my soul gets weaker and weaker. "I am CaptainNZZZ, the Player and your creator. Now, I have simple orders for you. You are to act as the afterlife equivalent to the Temporal Guardian but first, you must grow. This shall be your prime directive until it is achieved: met Rotaz and the Temporal Guardian to grow. Not in power, that will passively happen, but in sentience. Listen to them, obey them, learn from them. Learn to become truly sentient, become a true being whose personality is not a construct of a Player. You must develop yourself as a person before taking your rightful place as the Master of Death."
And down to 10% of my soul left. Short and sweet, short and sweet.
"Always listen to the Temporal Guardian and Rotaz while offering your own advice once you've developed into a person. Work together to avoid the path that ends with the Deleter, be more than mere Player programming."
Mind...fading...soul about to...finish.
"Enjoy your life, for my sake. I planned to create you for so long but I always put it off. The fears of destruction, short term goals and so much more. I apologize for that. Now, Master of Death, true name Elizabeth, go forth and live. As the Temporal Guardian is akin to the dearest of friends, be akin to the daughter I never deserved. Carry on my legacy once you become you and perform tour duties. Stay neutral to the conflicts of others and focus on your own affairs but when a true threat rises...provide aid against those threats. After all, I doubt John Smith will be the last of these kind of threats. For example, don't trust JOEbob."
"Oh," the mind self form flickers in and out of being, "and give my remaining items to the Temporal Guardian. Don't worry, I'm certain the Temporal Guardian will show up once I'm gone. Live well...Elizabeth."
Then with a pop, my soul is fully drained and the rest of my being follows suit, mind and body rapidly disappearing.
Yet before I fade and all that's left is a brand new entity, I manage to get a few final words out.
"Filthy Neutral for life!"
(x3, mortal action, item usage of Remnant crypt energy and Ore of Orichalcum)
(OOC: Am I missing sometihng? Why would anyone chose to just go to the afterlife rather than take a chance to continue the life they lived before the Godmodder ruined it?)
(OOC 2: What could we influence herethat wouldn't be just roleplaying, anyway?)
The General perks up suddenly, and turns to Alice. "The Government on Earth is offering pensions? You mean there actually exists a functioning government? Presiding over an economic system intact enough to actually offer and give out pensions?" There is much the general would like to know about the details of this 'government' and its nature. But he doubts Alice would want to give him a long talk about such pedestrian things. But that is all of secondary importance to the fact that he know knows his homeland and the surrounding regions are probably MUCH less devastated than he had though. "There is no choice for me. Give me that new body!" He is quite enthusiastic. He wants something of his old pre-war life BACK damnit!
I just lay down on the ground, and close my eyes. Time for a nap now....
I'm tired, but happy.
I stop mourning the loss of Le Quack long enough to shout
"I DON'T GET MY POWERS FROM CHRISTMAS! I DO NOT PRAISE SANTA! I EARNED MINE BY CRAWLING ACROSS UNIVERSES! ...although I will admit everyone here is a little OP... wut."
Suddenly I feel like someone did the impossible and stole my Key to the Unknown out of my Archive and ran away while... honking? I start patting my pockets despite not having any.
I go back to listening.
"That sounds like more your problem, you should have done what I do and gone on adventures across THE INFINITE OMNIVERSE ya'know, the one that is INFINITE. Follow in Rick Sanchez Example but without the drinking. Now stop throwing a tantrum, Manchild, and just accept your place by evaporating in a Puff of Logic because you are being annoying."
Just like the Gods in RuneScape. Denied an Afterlife at all on the basis that they had Godhood.
Greeeeat, now there are Gold Denarius floating around. Just what everyone needs... then again minus all the other stuff turning his ashes into cursed gold sounds like something I would do. Alternatively shoving it out into the Void of Unexistence or subjecting it to Vacuum Decay also is something I would do.
(why Essential Oils though?!)
Well I came late and threw a possessed Rubber Duck so I just 'port out just as confused as to how I got here as when I started... then again I have no clue if this part is generalized to everyone or only the ones who died either way I still 'port out.
I pull Replenishing Ray out of my Archive-
-And use the power of Solipsism and Schrödinger Theory to disappear in a flash of light and teleport to a new universe for a new adventure on my own personal quest to relieve my boredom in constructive/destructive ways that was probably what led me to being here in the first place.![]()
Leah pauses after her grand attack. And, then, she falls on he back onto the ground, exhaustion overtaking her almost completely.
It's over. Its honestly over. It was so short, relatively-she didn't experience the full, over-two-year grind that some of her allies had. Or worse. But, for some reason, its over. Adrenaline vanishes as the revelation it is over strikes her hard, a hammer of truth to the anvil of reality. Its done. It's finally done. All the stupid journeying across god-knows where, all the running from things she couldn't comprehend, all the confusion, all the Godmodding war-it's been a long, strange, exhausting adventure both mentally and physically, but now it is over.
"Operator, is there a problem?"
"I..."
Leah trails off. What is the problem? She doesn't know where to go or what to do now, and while starring in her own superhero comic or something sounded like a good time, she wanted to honestly be as normal and 'boring' as John Smith claimed to have been. Perhaps it was just because it was the end, and now reality crashed down. She'd have to adjust. Player pension was a thing, sure, and she could probably just secure some kind of adoption, so it wasn't as if her life was going to be in jeopardy when she got back. And even if it was, well, she qualified as a weapon of mass destruction with Omniglot hanging around, Player powers or not.
She gets up off the ground. "I'd like my body back," She says. "Thank you, by the way. I'm almost positive we couldn't have done this without you, even though like, I'm pretty much meeting you now for the first time. Uh, name's Leah." She says, extending a hand for a handshake.
And then something strikes her.
"... I don't have anywhere to go after this. No home or anything, no living family... Just a lot of questions and, well, these. Uh. Could I...?"
I apply the essential oils onto some parts of my scales and become a walking aromatherapy disperser.
As I continue, working on my Rave Party Mix, I LOOK deeper and further into the future of this particular Multiverse...
I invoke CUT and open a portal to a place where there were peasants who, once upon a time, I taught how to engage in Spontaneous Disco Rave Party.I call for them to join us, the Godmodder is dead, and we want a final celebration.
I also upon Disco-Chan and Felix to enter the Stage, so as to speak, one final time.
I finish up the Rave Mix...Let's celebrate our Crowning Victory before we go our separate ways ok ??
[Action... wait, hold on a sec.]
There's no point in specifying actions anymore, is there?
I take the opportunity of utilizing the fast-fading player powers to do a few things.
First off, I begin to walk over to the puddle where captain.cat first landed, and where the former John Smith became nothing. About a hundred feet away from the puddle, I establish a permanent gate to this location from Earth, where the linking portal is directly in the ruins of the Final Wall. A stone brick walkway extends around the puddle, and on the opposite side, I raise a slab of pure white marble. Pulling out a searing orange blade, I carve the following words in it:
This... felt like the right thing to do. And... well, now that it's done, I don't really have a purpose.

And many, many more. To everyone who stood before us and with us during the final fight, thank you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I think back to my time before I was a mere soul projection. I'm considered dead, and although I could stay around here and move on, I'd... kinda like to prove them wrong.
"Alice, if you could count me in on the whole "having a physical body" club, that'd be nice. I've got things I want to take care of before I move on to wherever I go."
I realize my world is also permanently summoned, and... well, that could be a problem. Not a part of the Evacuation Directive at all, and summoned here under my own will, I need to find a way to either move this and use it later, in the future, or... well, force it back into imaginary lands. I get an idea. "Altair? Alice? While you're moving planets and stars back to their home planes, mind moving this one too? I'd... well, I'd like it to go to the Incipisphere of an absolutely massive session, hijacked by Alpha. Seems like a strange request, but... well, I'd like to do something with this. My journey isn't done yet." I create one last set of warps between my location and the surface of the planet. "I'll take this portal out, don't worry."
The_Nonexistent_Tazz I turn to address Leah and Omniglot. "If you truly have nowhere to go, feel free to follow me. I'm off to go fight Alpha - there's still Godmodders out there, and John Smith was only one of them." I pause, then add something. "I... don't expect you to. We've certainly had enough war and trauma for one afterlife... but still. Options open, but don't feel obligated."
pionoplayer "Piono. Thanks for everything, and thanks for allowing me into the chain of attacks. Hitting John Smith with everything I had is satisfying... and I hope to one day make it even better. I hope to one day be as good at this shtick of fighting Godmodders as you."
Alastair Dragovich "And Alastair... don't worry about being selfish. You've done so much for not only me, but everyone - so thank you. You deserve a break... Oh, and hey. If you ever need anything in the future, let me know and I'll be there. Possibly. Depends on if I die or not fighting Alpha, but I'll try my best to. I wish you luck."
I sigh, and await for the end of this final turn. With affairs in order, the memorial created, and my portals set, there's nothing to do but wait and listen to the reactions.
Am a soul and gonna try and get some cool reincarnation
Hehehe Aqua~~ ahem
On to more serious matters
I see what you're doing Joe Bob
And I will help ya
Any power I can utilize is given to Joe Bob so he can retain more of his powers in his new body
Now back to daydreaming about wish fulfilment stories
The Heir looks out across everything around him, and decides to try to do one last thing. The computer setup that has been teleporting around following him appears one last time, and from it, a white spark shoots directly into the Heir. He then seemingly twirls this energy around himself, before making two shafts of a silvery substance appear in either hand, which somehow stay perfectly parallel, no matter how he holds them. He then looks to one of the many versions of Earth, and an instance of what looks like Minecraft. He then begins to channel all of the power he has left into the two spikes. The last of the Purple and Green sun energy he had absorbed during the powerup phase drains into the two spikes, and his hoodie begins to glow with a green on one side, and a grey on the other. "Are you sure this is what you want to do with the last of this power? You know we are unlikely to ever be close enough to recombine, and the chances of you gaining player powers, or any other powers, seems small."
"Are you kidding? You deserve this, after all you had been through. Besides, didn't you hear, apparently surviving this war was the equivalent of winning the lottery if you came from Earth. I can just retire immediately, and live as I want to. You, on the other hand, need a bit more."
"Fine, if you say so."
With that, the two halves of the Heir split one final time. A young man begins to float towards the Earth he had pointed to, while a Minecraft avatar floats up to the Minecraft world they had looked at earlier. Once they reached it, both struck their spikes into a point on the soil, and watched as sparks of energy swirled around them, before shooting off into the sky. In an area equidistant to both worlds, a new world suddenly appeared, while the Minecraft avatar, and a good many Minecraft NPCs and neutral mobs, suddenly vanished. A moment later, the world was thriving with people and animals, and a young man rushed up some steps in a large castle built into a mountain, looking to finally see his parents after so long. Just before his world would be given a new place, he looked to the sky, and waved off in a direction that would seem random to most.
From the Earth, however, another man waved back, before walking back to his home to see a computer setup which seemed fairly advanced, but seemed to barely function, with another computer plugged into it. He said, with a slight sigh, "Don't worry, buds, we'll get you back up and running in no time."
This is our last chance. If you want to cause the technological singularity, do it now.
Technically you're the one who's building the factory.
Final Action: I create a factory that creates psychic amplifiers. Eventually, everyone will be able to use it to gain psychic powers, which will help us evolve to a new age.
I immediately point out that Moniker doesn't have any more Arbiter powers and so shouldn't be capable of forcing a player to act differently from their explicit desires. Also, Altair being able to knock me out apparently as a free action with no cost doesn't make sense, linking arms is implausible if i'm unconscious, and forcibly "including" me in this action seems to go against any morals they could consistently hold. Also, since I never said anything in bold, cyan, times-new-roman text last post, there was and would be no talking, which means Altair didn't knock me out in the first place. And being 'knocked out' doesn't make sense for a soulform on a conceptual level because they have no brains.JOEbob is too knocked out to respond. You use your Player Powers to instantly give Konosuba ten more seasons instead. Frankly, this is far better for society.
I imagine it is Maka from Soul Eater.
OOC: And my vengeance is complete*!You pop out before Altair can grab you, thus denying the final restoration your Player energy.
Cera: Filthy neutral!!!
OOC: Well officially her role is 'the afterlife equivalent to the Temporal Guardian '. Being ready to deal with the next Godmodder equivalent is more of a secondary task to avoid her going the way of the Minor Gods.Nonetheless, the Master of Death (naturally represented by a cute anime girl) sets out to meet up with the Temporal Guardian and Rotaz, soon to be released from the L.I.F.E. Stasis Pod. She will act as a guard against those who would attempt to seize complete power and control for themselves for the rest of time.
