Defeat The Godmodder

[pionoplayer]

Actions 1&2:
The improbability drive, heedless of the new threat that has arrived to the battlefield, begins spinning up to produce a brand new thing.
2/5 for A Shocking Discovery.

Action 3:
Piono staggers to his feet again.
A Darkshard and a Lightshard hm?
Two swordfighters. Well, that's convenient, guess who else is a swordsman?
And a darn fine one at that.
Erm, assuming he ever hits the point where he's steady on his own two feet again.
Piono pulls out ircucvci, and with a single push, launches at the Darkshard, his sword being caught on the edge of the Darkshard, but Piono knows the laws of this realm well enough to know that his superior swordsmanship will not be enough to defeat this monstrosity, especially not while he's shaky and uneven as he is.
So he begins to fall back under the darkshard's assault, Piono's movements feel slow and sluggish compared to what he was doing when he massacred the Soulraze Builders, but that's okay, he still manages to avoid being hit a single time.
Then he smiles. The Darkshard is confused. Why is Piono smiling? He's losing, isn't he? WHY IS HE SMILING
And that's when the darkshard gets run through by the lightshard.

This action, instead of dealing direct damage, buffs the lightshard's attack so long as it's attacking the Darkshard. The buff only applies to attacks on the darkshard.

[Captain.Cat]

'Well that was disappointing all of the alcohol is made of liquid plastic.' I quietly lament to myself as I leave the bar, Dreams of having a nice shot whiskey dashed. Looking out to the HEXAGONAFIELD I see the DarkShard and the Lightshard. 'Huh, So a duel between two sealed entities, So keep the Lightshard alive, Ideally without him turning into a unsealed entity and take out the Darkshard. Simple enough to understand.' finishing with my quick analysis of the obvious I start trying to think of a way to assist the Lightshard.

'Well there was that one mythbusters episode... Yeah I think that will do some damage, I just need to get it charged up.' Nodding to myself I look to the polar express as it chugs away on the train tracks. 'I wish for the train track rails to break and to wist making it so that the Polar Express will derail if it try to cross.' Suddenly a section of train track rails starts letting out a loud metallic moan as a invisible force grabs hold of them and forces the rails to break and bend until the train rails curl up on themselves forming two spike pointing back towards where the Polar express would come from, This will likely utterly destroy the train engine if it collides with sabotaged train rails. (2 actions)

'Alright good, that will likely cause the Polar express some trouble, Now onto the other objective at this time. I wish for a glass of water.' Suddenly a glass of water appears in my left hand and I take a swig of it, I swish it around my mouth and then gargle it before then spitting it out.

Nodding to myself I prepare for my reenactment for the myth from mythbusters. Charging 1/5.

"It seems you do not know the full theorem of soul©. Your body exists because your soul© exists, should your body die, your soul dies too and turns into a dead soul©. And (if I remember right) you do not care much about dead souls© (like stones and bricks or wood) or rather their existing counterparts."
Driver feels forced to get the hard facts onto the table.
"You can't do anything against my methods to fight the godmodder. You can fight for us or fight against us and the godmodder. Also that genocide was also a soul genocide©, which is now clear after I told you the basics of soul©?"
(He could not know that some soul magicks© can completely delete© someone (also their past, which changes the whole timeline). But those could not be proofed, since the scientists that got to this point had no proof for their theories.)

Click to shrink...

Now the young man just looks offended and confused.

"What are you even talking about? This theorem of soul© sounds like something an edgelord might come up with. What do you mean by dead soul©? AND WHY DO YOU KEEP COPYRIGHTING THE WORD SOUL!?"

He takes the weird... post? Yeah, the post that keeps materializing in his brain when he reads to the end of it and draws it on the HEXAGONAFIELD dirt to show him the last two lines. "Also, this is pretty freaking bad in and of itself!"

He mulls over the words that everyone has been saying. This, clearly, was a tricky problem. Then, something occurred to him.

"Look, while I still want an explanation on your explanation of souls that I probably find to be utter insanity, how about a deal: How about we collaborate together an on alternate method to achieve.... whatever it is you want to achieve? What even is it that you're doing that requires freaking SOUL sacrifice?"

 

[EternalStruggle]

Aw yes. It was time for the SUPERBOSS. The ultimate challenge! The man looked at the AGs, then the PGs, and said...

"You guys got this." He gave a thumbs up. "Those scrubs who came before that couldn't even beat phase one of, like, three? Now's your time to prove how much better you are than them. Dust this poser, while I watch. I'll give you moral support or something. Or artillery support, maybe that."

Using his mighty player powers to materialize two bowls of popcorn, he teleported away to his fortress-house... thing, to watch the battle with his ally through a few observation drones he left behind, maneuvering to get all the good angles.

FOCUS - VALOROUS CHARGE

The man's speech inspired the Lightshard... somehow, not sure why but it did. For this turn, its charge gets bonus damage against the enemy, as it strikes with greater than its normal (considerable) might and skill, allowing the damage of its attacks to become closer to that of the Darkshard's. Perhaps not equal, but certainly closer. And even if it's not equal, it matters little, for the Lightshard has the power of friendship! Or more accurately the power of numbers and human wave tactics, but details.

Driver smiled with the face that talked to the young man.

"I got into this magicks recently. Since it seems interesting I want to try it out. Dead souls© (so nobody named moniker can copy my methods without price) have three dimensions©: length, width and depth. Souls of living beings also got a 4th dimension©: lifetime. Since only souls with an uneven number of dimensions are stable, everything has to die after some time (even with "immortal" enhancements). I want to access the 5th dimension©, which is hated by the world itself, but the world can't just destroy it since it is so stable. I won't be able to move if I do not allow the world to destroy a small piece of the 5th dimension©. But I also won't be able to die since the 4th dimension© is stabilized by the 5th dimension©."

He starts reading something in the manual. "You get even more when you reach the 6th dimension©. It slowly dissolves, but you get perfect personalized mana© (energy that resonates with you and can be used to make your wishes true) out of it (also a soul ram© that can harvest any beings soul by simply touching it). The 7th dimension© is not proven, but there are some theories about it. Maybe it is so stable that the world just throws those guys out or they get caught in some time loop or something... they weren't that specific.", he stops reading and looks at the young man.
"Do you have a magick© you can supply as alternative? If so, why do you hate soul sacrifice that much? You too want to kill do you?"

 

[The_Two_Eternities]

"Driver, a question. How does a dead soul differ from a soul? I ask because I have no idea what a "dead soul" is. Alastair Dragovich, where did you get the idea that soul sacrifice = oblivion for the sacrificed soul? I ask because it's my job to seek out stuff like this and stop it. Well, maybe."

"Driver, a question. How does a dead soul differ from a soul? I ask because I have no idea what a "dead soul" is.

Click to shrink...

Oh. It is THe tWo EterNitiEs. Driver opens a different mouth to answer the fellow AG.

"A dead soul© and a living soul© sure have differences. I can't tell you every single difference, since there are different living souls© and different dead souls©, but I will try to enlighten you. The living soul© can create other livings souls© out of dead souls© and also needs to consume dead souls© to get enough energy to be able to stay a living soul© by using the 4th dimension.
A dead soul© is stable and does not need to consume any souls, but it can't create any dead souls© out of living souls©. You can see this for example in birds. They have to eat the dead souls© of worms and berries to stay alive and they will create new living souls© by laying eggs. Simplified you could say that a dead soul© is something that does not has the ability to create living souls© and consume dead souls©."

Driver thinks a bit and then nods to himself.

"Can I now sacrifice this helpless subject©?"

 

[EternalStruggle]

Satisfied with the work done with Starcaliber, I hand it over to EternalStruggle and asking if he would be alright with spending 1 charge on beefing up my Cat Siths for the arrival of a mysterious texter.

Click to shrink...

The man missed this, what with being busy constructing a shipyard at the time and sort of teleporting around a bit, and so Winkins had to just kinda toss it at the guy and the blade had sort of... bounced off him.

Operating by itself, Starcalibur FOCUSED in such a way as to block Driver's sacrifice attempt to access the 5th dimension soul or such on the basis that the man's latent will was to not trust Driver with anything resembling meta powers. Considering Driver was perma-AG, maybe this was a waste of 3 actions from the perspective of fighting the Godmodder, but what did the man care? He was Neutral.

Then Starcalibur floated awkwardly in the direction of The Two Eternities.

 

[The_Two_Eternities]

"Plants don't have souls because they don't have minds. (Evidence for plants not having minds: Plants don't have any sort of brain. The carnivorous ones may seem like they move in response to prey, but it's not a conscious decision. Evidence for not having a mind meaning not having a soul: A soul is the part of the mind that sticks around after death. If there is no mind, there is nowhere for the soul to be.)"

"Also, I just had a thought that seems like something you would think. If a living soul eats living prey, does the offspring of the living soul not have a soul?"

"Alright, I think I get it. But your helpless subject has a soul (living or dead), correct? If so, then... don't do it."

 

[JOEbobobob]

JOE Suddenly starts storming around, ranting about how souls don't exist, and stomps into the distance while still ranting about it. he proceeds to return to what he/I was already doing.

Actually, nevermind, all 3 actions to finish Simurgh regen, if overflow, charge shocking solution
Simurgh regen should finish with those charges

The peacekeepers keep building up, maybe we should make it a goal to help them with an action every turn.

[Alastair Dragovich]

The young man is baffled. "What... are you high? Are you on some serious drugs or something?"

He notices the worm. "... are you so high that reality itself is getting high?"

He just groans in frustration. He rubs his temples in an effort to reduce the headache he has.

"Okay, since you clearly aren't sacrificing the metaphysical soul I was talking about, can you at least tell me whether or not this ritual will ret-gone the poor, helpless person or not? I'm sure I can jury rig some sort of 5th dimensional super-device running off of the sheer chaos of this field to do the job for you if the answer is yes. Might take a couple of turns though, or our efforts combined."

In his frustration, he failed to notice that he had accidentally bled one of his actions into CHARGING a summon. What it is, he doesn't know (since he doesn't know he's charging it, obviously), but he is charging it all right! Still, thankfully, he has two actions left to do stuff with... if he can ever stop arguing, that is.

???: 1/6

"Whats the difference between the 4th and 5th dimension? 4th includes time and 5th is what, I never really understand why people assume 5th dimensional entities are scary, no, its the 4th dimensional entities, since they can manipulate time the easiest, apparently. That and the amount of randomness could overload your machine, cause something random to happen which is bad since entropy already threw itself off a cliff thanks to EternalStruggle, or the randomness could escape and infect the machine."

 

[Moniker]

"Why can't things just not have consequences for once?" I think, my frustration fortunately hidden thanks to the fact I'm still invisible.

With security eventually coming and the Help Desk now no doubt going to be suspicious if I try to use my Entity Requisition Form it's time to take my leave until things cool down.

Suddenly a strong wind blows throughout the entire Lobby and soon chaos fills the entire Lobby as papers fly through the air at high speeds, every door blown up despite any locks on them, and even some of the people who'd been sitting suddenly blown out of their chairs to painfully face plant into the floor.

Still hidden by my invisibility I calmly move through the scene, undisturbed by the wind, and walk through the blown open side door. There's no better place to avoid being found but in the employee only section of the building whole invisible after all. No sane thief would do what I'm doing so clearly it's the best thing to do in this situation!

Click to shrink...

A massive windstorm envelops the lobby! If there was any chance security wasn't coming before, it's gone now. Papers, pamphlets, and a lot of stuff temporarily has everyone distracted, and you easily duck into the employees only door.

The wind dies down, and the door locks behind you. You might be able to break it down, but that would probably attract even more attention! For now, it might be better to stay in here. Security will probably arrive at the lobby soon, anyways.

Looking around, you see a dark room, with metal walls, a concete floor, and a dim lightbulb on the ceiling. Compared to the splendor outside, this place looks like a half-finished construction site.

You see a set of stairs leading downwards, and two doors with fancy-looking password locks. From the downstairs section, you can hear... fighting?

Saving the password protected doors for later I stealthily slide along the metal wall over to the set of stairs and carefully peer around the corner to be able to see who or what are busying fighting.

Creating an illusion of a moving action figure of He-Man I send it down the stairs to walk right into the middle of the fighting to determine those fighting reactions to something walking in on them before I decide whether or not I should personally head down the stairs and interrupt the fighting. It's better to at least try to be careful than just recklessly run in after all.

"I feel like you do not understand. I just wanted to access the 5th dimension© and someone hinders me that is wasting all my effort! You could build such an device. It would essentially be another member of my species should it be finished."

"No, no, what I meant was this. Say a lioness is hunting a gazelle. She leaps, jaws open, but only manages to rip off a chunk of meat from the flank. The gazelle avoids predators and survives. She keeps doing that with different gazelles, at no point killing any of them. Then she gives birth. Do the offspring have living souls, even though (I assume) the mother consumed no dead souls?"

"Also, do plants have souls©? Do fungi have souls©? Do bacteria have souls©? Do viruses have souls©? Do rocks have souls©? Do molecules have souls©?"

The worm recedes and another face starts speaking.
"Plants can reproduce and consume the souls© of earth, water and light (I think some even eat meat). Well that means that their souls are alive©. Mushrooms eat meat, wood and other things on the verge of rot. They can also reproduce, which makes their souls alive©. Bacteria eat and breath too, reproduce and thus have living souls©. Viruses themselves can't eat or reproduce, but they exist and thus have a 3D-soul© (length, width and depth), a dead soul©. The same applies to rocks and molecules. There are also unlimited theoretical 1 dimensional© and 2 dimensional beings© that we can't prove"
Then a tentacle slaps the face with a meaty twack "guess he did only want to know which of them has a soul©. I just wasted my time."

 

[The_Two_Eternities]

"So by "soul" you mean "subatomic particle/group of subatomic particles identifier". I had suspected that. So... Basically you're sacrificing the helpless subject's True Name. Well, that's not as bad as I thought."

 

[Alastair Dragovich]

The realization that he had been talking to an eldritch abomination in the form of a collective super entity made him facepalm at his own stupidity. This made a lot of sense. It made no sense, but the nonsense now had some vague cohesion to it.

"This has been a colossal waste of time for all of us, hasn't it. I almost feel sorry for starting this whole mess. So, if I got this right, you were just going to absorb this helpless individual into your collective in such a manner that it turns you into your definition of a 5th dimensional entity. If that's the case, then all I ask is that you just get someone willing to join you. It's considered a dick move to be absorbed into a collective without permission, and I'm sure some people are unhappy enough being a singular entity that joining up with you would be a blessing."

He kind of wants to continue to stand his ground and be stubborn about it, in all honesty, but now that the soul definitions had been sorted out he just didn't care as much.

The young man, checking on his actions, bites back a swear. Where did his action go? Did he really argue so much that it burnt an action? Whatever, he had two left, and Operation Smooth was on hold anyway until the super boss was destroyed.

So, what could he do with two actions? He could... do something twice? Double his efforts, certainly.

....fuck it. He needed to burn off some stress.

We walks over to the Sealed Darkshard. He channels some Earthbending and shoots a pillar of earth straight up from the ground. Right underneath the boss. Then, while the boss is reeling from the impact, he jumps to the top of the pillar, grabs the boss, and then suplexes it.

Right off the top of the tower, both of them plummeting down until the hit the ground far below, at which point the Darkshard is hit with the full force of the multi-story suplex.

The young man felt a lot better after that.

While everybody else is bickering about something I do not care, I'm just staring at the Starcalibur floating awkwardly in the direction of The Two Eternities.

The individual in question would loose its shape and turn into some kind of liquid. I do not need to absorb it, since it is only a catalyst. And I summoned it with my power, so I am allowed to do whatever I please with it.
