having metaphysically respawned, I push myself up off the ground with one hand as the rest of my body finishes becoming visible. My eyes are glowing a dimish cyan, laced with gold "Wh... hello, teal persoouuumnmngh"
As the text changes color, the gold patterns grown and replace the cyan. "Man, It would be Nice if people stopped making my 'job' harder. By, oh, I dunno, not killing me." "Ugh... Anyway, Your move was... digging, and a ritual, 'n... There." "Astrec, It's your move, as soon as you finish being dead."
Then, it's time to act. So I do.
Taking a quick step back from the Pebbletopia platform...
[Bonus: do The Temporal Glob alchemization that I checked but haven't done yet]
I turn around and one hand glows a red hue. With a flicker, I land next to the other Astral Neckbeast. "Mine."
My hand shoots out and crashes into its neck, pulverising the bones [13k of total attack power thus far]. with a flash, the beast dies, and with another movement I'm wearing the Spaced Out Headband again [+35k attack; minimum attack is now 35k]. turning towards the Smart neckbeast [-13k] and Other Astral Neckbeast [-18k] next, making sure not to see the other neckbeasts 'alive' status, I use the Spaced Out Headband to continue the attack, celestial bolts slamming into them and crumbling them to dust. with a moment of mental focus, the Mantle is drawn around me oncemore, and I place the Cerebrocrown on my head. Two, Maybe Three beasts left, but I've only got around 4k, maybe 10k attack left, right? Left. Pulsing the Temporal Glob's energy through my being, I take advantage of the knowledge that the last turn only has One Time-van coming through, meaning they won't react more for my violation. I go flying through time, landing at the beginning of this turn- While I'm still respawning. Back in the previous action slot. I don't know if I'll get another action wholesale, But I will be in an action timeslot where I haven't used an attack alchemy yet, so I dash towards the other neckbeasts headfirst, using the cerebrocrown's blunt force flavourtext. [+33k atk]
Slamming into the Chrono-neckbeast [-13k], I pulverize all the bones in their arm and grab eternities eradicator,Before backflipping and landing, headfirst, on the Technano neckbeast [-18k, leaving me with minimum 6k]. Having pierced through their defence through superior firepower, I re-wear the nanoplate, boosting my base attack for this action by 5k, leaving me with a minimum of 11k attack left. However, that's not quite enough necessarilly, which is a shame, so if I don't have enough action juice left to utterly pulverise the ascended neckbeast into scrap by ripping off all their limbs and tearing what passes for their mind into pieces while cutting channels into their bones to use a blood magic spell on them to drain their blood to boost my attack, I expend 1 spatial charge to finish them off, grabbing every item I had in the end.
Then, I return to the pebbletopia table.
Math, collected:
Base of at least 13k damage starts the attack; if there isn't enough, I expend a normal player charge.
to be anti-generous to myself, I assume no attack damage left at this point, but I get the SOH
so 35k -13k = 22k, 22k -18k= 4k. Temp.Glob used, +33k = 37k, 37k -13k -18k = 6k, 6k +5k for nanoplate =11k, less then 13, but very close.
12/30 THUNDERSTRUCK You know what cops, you should quit while you're ahead. LJG breaks out into a dance. It looks like he's doing some slow karate chops. He slowly shifts around on his feet. He bends over and then leans back. And then, he breaks out into the full robot, shifting around in a very slow, deliberate way. After he does this for a second, his arm transforms into an arm cannon. He proceeds to fire this at the Time Police Senior Heavy Officer. After firing a rounds, his arm tuns back into a regular arm. Generic references. The best type. Negotiating:
You know cops, I've got a space ship and a giant orc behind me. You guys help me, and there's no problem. In return, I promise to attempt to follow your Time Cop rules so that you guys don't get fired. Do we have a deal? Entity Orders: The Pipe Orcan points his arm cannons at Time Police Junior Officer and Time Police Senior Heavy Officer. If they attack anyone, it attacks them. Otherwise, it just sits there. Its trunk scans the area, patiently waiting to see if Time Police Officers show up, firing at them if they do.
The Attack Ship will fire at the Time Police Senior Heavy Officer if he attacks. It otherwise just sits there.

I look around, and see the cops attacking the newcomer. Since he is the reason I am here in the first place, I won't just let them hurt him. I quickly rush over, placing my hand on his shoulder, and healing energy flows into him. I manage to drain all my charge into it. I am awful at not using charge in healing, aren't I? "Let's not fall down just yet, shall we?" I prepare to fight next turn.

I subject the Smart Neckbeast, and if that dies during the attack, Attack Ship G, to a series of abysmally made meme games. First off is Connecticut: The Classic American State.
Literally the entire state of Connecticut - or a copy of it, at least, including the mantle and core of the Earth situated directly under the state's borders all the way to the center of the Earth, condensed into a single, physics-defyingly hot and dense ball of matter, falls onto the Neckbeast, causing it to be crushed under the weight of the classic American State.
The next game is This Meme is Not Funny Anymore: Get a Job. The Neckbeast is forced to get a job at Burger King, where it stands in foot lettuce while taking orders just about as well as the Angry German Kid, and promptly gets fired, causing it to be declared grounded grounded grounded for 99999999999999999 years. By grounded, of course, I mean it is tied by an indestructible, inescapable metal cable to a pole in a pocket dimension for almost a hundred quadrillion years while intense arcs of electricity strike it every microsecond.
NEXT *CLAP* GAME *CLAP*: Connect Two Plus Two Is Four: The Classic Minus One That's Three Quick Maths Game. The Neckbeast is brutally assaulted by several million decimal digits of pi, which proceed to declare Numberwang and run off with it into the land of Balanced Ternary. This does nothing except cause the Neckbeast to atomically disassociate into protons, neutrons, and electrons, corresponding to the +1, 0, and -1 digits in balanced ternary. Then Big Shaq declares that the Neckbeast is "not hot", causing it to freeze to absolute zero at an accelerated rate, and then shatter.

I respawn. voices come from empty air, since I have no mouth to speak with. "What? how did [I] diHey, I'm pretty sure the time police weren't a thing in the totally-not-the-future place we came from!" "If they were well I didn't know that." "Hey can you help me get all that stuff back I don't like having 0 AC and nothing to mess with"

Propaganda machine: did you know that some AGs get to wield artifacts of immense power?
Auma: Use light to create heat. Use the heat to killify P5.
Iron Godlem: uh
Guess he took the bait, huh?
While P5 is wielding the artifact I threw at him, he's technically vulnerable. I take advantage of that by dashing at him at high speeds. I bring Za Rodo down on his head, smashing his nebulous form with Oblivion energies. Said energy seeps into his cranium, interfering with whatever simulation of mental faculties are running that poor ghosty bastard.
While P5 is busy being incapable of acting, I spin around and bat the 18D into his face using Za Rodo as the bat. Somehow, the 18D gets stuck on his head. It's a bit of a loose fit, meaning I could fit a few dozen caltrops in there. I do so.
I then slap P5 back and forth, shaking up everything inside the 18D (aka his face and the caltrops), confusing, concussing and cutting him up brutally. Because of how RAW treats Caltrops, P5 also trips over them, despite them being stuck in 18D with his head instead of on the floor he's standing on.
Hey, don't question RAW.
I take advantage of P5 being concussed, blind, mentally damaged and prone to perform an ultimate sneak-strike coup-de-grace assassination technique, wherein I summon up a Vorpal Axe (we have many) and, because of all the sneak-assassination-de-grace bonuses, has maximum rolls and instantly decapitates him. He probably didn't need that, right?
Anyways, I kick P5's head around some more because why not. Meanwhile, I lock his body into The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which I have complete control over. I summon an infinite amount of enemies in that game and make him incapable of defending himself. Also I lock his character model in a tpose (or, since he's headless, Tpose).
11/50 THUNDERSTRUCK Oh no, the police! I gotta hide, gotta hide. Or, I guess I could... LJG takes out a trombone. You can tell that he keeps it well. It still has the mute on and it's so shiny. He heads over to the Time Police Officers. He points the trombone at the Senior Heavy Officer. He starts to play the 1812 overture, a prideful tune for great victories. He gets to the final note and a bang is heard through the audience. The mute goes flying off of the trombone and straight at the Senior Heavy Officer. Strange, the only way to make that happen is if... this trombone has been tampered with. Gonna steal a police van. Gonna steal a police van.
The Trombone deals 5k damage to the Senior Heavy Officer. "You are interfering with official Time Police Business! Hunter! Go apprehend him." "Y-yes, sir!"

I perform a legendary Elvish Triple Spin Kick on P5's decapitated head, kicking it far off into space.
Your scan of P5 indicates that despite being capable of intense psionic abilities, the body itself has no mental activity whatsoever. This might also be because he's a reality warper, just like you.
Carbon Sword && Lightsaber.
I proceed to place the red matter into a pocket universe that just began existing. Anyone knows that new universes have the tendency to build lots of something you throw into it.

Targeted anti-thaumaturgical batteries online, Synthetic Noble Phantasm Mass Deployment: Counter Punishing Deicide! Assault The Dark God!
Branchinations and minor bodies scuttle to battle stations like a mobile grassland. Gun batteries shimmer and materialize, sub astra ignition mantras blending together into a hymn of destruction among rainbow signage. Flowers bloom, poetronachs thunder, 18 charge and the arms of a starship open fire with a rain of concentrated anti-divinity counter preparations. Shieldsand spins among the blasts, exalted reaction charms flickering among the counter spells and readied retaliation damage, blistering thorns and primordial challenges bellowing as a searing whip of chains that rule over gods.
If a counter activates from this attack, the Dark God will take an unhealthy dose of anti-deity attack on top of the attack itself. Wait, this was just part one?
Altrin what are you doing why- The spaceship turns into an anime mecha because this attack is sufficiently silly, and decides to go all out! Robo Mega Hakkerocalibur Image, Second of Third God Slaying Movement! He wields a laser as a melee weapon to swordsman multi slash the Dark God, then duplicates it with spy laser duping mirrors, then gets creative by tying up the enemy with the lasers before crushing them with it Amazing Sanzang Tiara style! Yeaaah! This is so impractical that it suddenly seems like a good idea to have tea, so we have a ship sized tea party then smash it into them. Is this Boston style? No, because he pulled out Death as a bullet and used a mecha handgun to shoot the god anyway, and unflips the tea party table back into existence to hit him out of the park.
The counters follow, and will process multiple times if this is multiple counters. Shhh, DTG logic fail-safes.
You the PEOPLE, if you want to take this existence you'll probably have to pry it from random gods' cold dead hands. It's hip for Godmodders these yesterdays to have god hunting squads, and we're not going to be held back by this anyway. If Nedben doesn't get away with trying to sell it on eBay to pay for minidrone treats and downloadable drugs, it's probably going to have to be properly dispelled or slain regardless.

This causes the area around both the truck and the Attack Ship to instantly speed up to infinity thanks to a "feature" of floating-point arithmetic.

13/50 THUNDERSTRUCK You know what Iron Prince, we should work together on this one. We're all cursed anyways. Why not make everything more confusing? LJG looks at the Dark God. Man, those Greeks would enjoy this. They're always accepting new gods, aren't they? LJG decides that now that he is fighting someone with "God" in their name, he needs to pull out the big guns. And by guns, of course he means instruments. He takes out his Stealth Kazoo from round... 33. Next, he grabs a tuba (Musical Instrument). He sticks the kazoo into the mouthpiece of the tuba. He then mounts the tuba onto his shoulder in a similar way to how one holds an RPG. He starts playing a song. It's a very simple song. It is made up of five notes, with each note being lower than the one before. The first set is very slow, allowing you to understand each note played. It then plays those same notes two more times, each time faster than before. Once this is done, LJG lets out a single loud, legato, whole note. It explodes through the void, but it isn't an explosion of sound. Instead, light blasts out of the tuba. Now, due to the unskilled playing of the note, the light is multi-colored and excessively bright. The light also covers a wide area, due to the tuba's wide opening in which sound is usually projected from. This allows the light to engulf the Dark God, eating away at it's dark exterior. You know what, maybe I shouldn't tell the Greeks about him. He seems a bit... excessive. Bonus Action:
LJG writes the word scan on the pipe orcan with a pen (Writing Instrument). Suddenly, he sees the Pipe Orcan with eyes not his own. As he looks at the Pipe Orcan, he hears a monolouge about it, stuff he already knows. However, it then gets to describing some sort of curse, and he listens, wondering what's wrong with it this time.

I pull the Neutron Edge in front of me, feeling the weight of it. My suit clamps down on the blade, keeping it in my grip without any chance of losing it. I rush directly at our dark godly friend, and proceed to test the Edge. I take a leaping slash at the creature, thrusters appearing in the back of the suit, pushing me forwards towards the god. I slash down on the god's head, trying for a head splitting strike. As the strike falls, I slash the Unbreakable Katana into its neck. I then begin darting around the god, pulling quick slashes with the Unbreakable Katana, and pulling stabbing strikes into it with the Edge every time that I turn, keeping my assault going, until I feel like I am losing steam. Then I flip backwards, and warp the shape of spacetime to give step away from the god.

14/50 THUNDERSTRUCK Hmm... what if I just kind of... do something... strange... LJG yanks a tennis racket (Whacking Instrument) and a tennis ball (Sporting Instrument) out of his guitar case. As he picks up the racket, it multiplies into a second. LJG drops the second and serves. The ball bounces once across his floating speaker and then... LJG hits it with the other racket. Except he's still at the other side of the speaker. But, he also just hit the ball. This can't go well. LJG one returns the ball to LJG two, which LJG two responds to by launching it almost straight up. The ball goes up for, a while. It then comes flying down, landing hard on the speaker. LJG 1's side of the speaker falls down to about a 45 degree angle, but then it recovers. LJG 1 is fortunately able to hit the ball back to LJG 2 before it would have flown up into the air again. The meteor known as the tennis ball flies straight at LJG 2. LJG 2 does a quick spin and uses the centrifugal force to hit the ball back. The flaming ball spins against his racket and then flies back to LJG 1. However, the ball suddenly stops in the middle of the speaker. A line of rackets had suddenly appeared, all tied together. acting as a sort of net used in regular tennis. It recoils all the way back to where LJG 1 is standing, and LJG 1 hits the ball. The elastic potential energy is released all at once and it flies back to LJG 2. LJG 2 tries to hit it back, but it seamlessly flies straight through the netting of his tennis racket. The ball flies straight into the Dark God, burning straight through him. Does anyone have any Crocade? You know, the branded sports drink made by that one Florida football team. No? I could use some. Entity Orders: The Pipe Orcan fires at 3As 1-3.

Ishmael: healing back home, I presume
Auma: Use sun and moon, light and void to destroy the Dark God
Iron Godlem: uh
I dash over to Auma and hand him the Rod.
I then grab Ice D and channel their alien energies into a generic blue beam of cinematic climaxes, forcing The Dark God to finish to enter the danger zone, aka the third act. You know what happens to villains in the third act, especially in a mediocre shonen anime like this.
I proceed to mode shift my armor again for this new boss. I enter Heavy Lifting mode, swapping out my current blade for my fancy Neutron Edge in one hand, using the other to wield the Unbreakable Katana.
0/50 (CP lost to activate mode)
Power Armour && Black Hole Bomb
You shift to Heavy Lifting Mode. Some AC converted to Attack Boosts.
Power Armour && Black Hole Bomb = Dead Star Plate. Power Armour made from material harvested from a pulsar. "Word of advice? Neutronium is actually a terrible material to make mechsuits from. At that point, you can actually attract projectiles towards you."
Altrin, you drive. Nedben, you chitchat with Overfiend and representatives. This is like that time Carleah became the moon, right?
Hi, is this the line to buy souls as well as sell? I'm in the market for expendable entity labor in the face of considerable morale rolls and thrall spells so I'd be glad to hear what's for sale in the forcefully reliable department.
Targeted anti-thaumaturgical batteries online, Synthetic Noble Phantasm Mass Deployment: Counter Punishing Deicide! Assault The Dark God!
Branchinations and minor bodies scuttle to battle stations like a mobile grassland. Gun batteries shimmer and materialize, sub astra ignition mantras blending together into a hymn of destruction among rainbow signage. Flowers bloom, poetronachs thunder, 18 charge and the arms of a starship open fire with a rain of concentrated anti-divinity counter preparations. Shieldsand spins among the blasts, exalted reaction charms flickering among the counter spells and readied retaliation damage, blistering thorns and primordial challenges bellowing as a searing whip of chains that rule over gods.
If a counter activates from this attack, the Dark God will take an unhealthy dose of anti-deity attack on top of the attack itself. Wait, this was just part one?
Altrin what are you doing why- The spaceship turns into an anime mecha because this attack is sufficiently silly, and decides to go all out! Robo Mega Hakkerocalibur Image, Second of Third God Slaying Movement! He wields a laser as a melee weapon to swordsman multi slash the Dark God, then duplicates it with spy laser duping mirrors, then gets creative by tying up the enemy with the lasers before crushing them with it Amazing Sanzang Tiara style! Yeaaah! This is so impractical that it suddenly seems like a good idea to have tea, so we have a ship sized tea party then smash it into them. Is this Boston style? No, because he pulled out Death as a bullet and used a mecha handgun to shoot the god anyway, and unflips the tea party table back into existence to hit him out of the park.
The counters follow, and will process multiple times if this is multiple counters. Shhh, DTG logic fail-safes.
You the PEOPLE, if you want to take this existence you'll probably have to pry it from random gods' cold dead hands. It's hip for Godmodders these yesterdays to have god hunting squads, and we're not going to be held back by this anyway. If Nedben doesn't get away with trying to sell it on eBay to pay for minidrone treats and downloadable drugs, it's probably going to have to be properly dispelled or slain regardless.
BONUS: Will assisting another player's revival be unlocked with group charges and/or assist charges? Failing that, can it be done already by just throwing a few charges at them?
The first salvo of Anti-divinity deals 35k damage to the Dark God, tearing off pieces of his aura. These slivers slither towards you, intent on dealing a counterattack, only to be repelled back by your Spaceship half, which transforms into a mecha, and slices at the Dark God for another 72k damage.
"We currently have a bargain for 36 souls of the damned, which can be used for minion, artifact or building material at your leisure, no questions asked. If you endorse our services in the next public space you enter within the next... hour, they will be sent directly to your unauthorized Hypersigil, which will be legitimized. Do we have a deal?"
As for reviving fallen Descended with you own actions, that sounds like a gre- "For Descended, the onus of making a new physical form should be on themselves. They should have the right to make their own bodies, with their own unique quirks. If you make a new body for them, chances are that they'll spend some time tweaking it to their standards."
...I hate that you have a point.
Please hold for Descendant round-based perspective (or possibly chatlog elsewhere). We apologize for the inconvenience.
My calamitous master was once the very unsouls of nedbenkind. I shall bring forth a return. Heart Bombardment. ❤️
Explosive poison venom acid unsoul erupts from the gun ports in grenadelike nedbenheart format, drown-detonating on the Dark God. Since unsouls are the edgy antithesis of soul materials, this should send his soul counter into the negatives as well as deal damage. Ahaha.wav
BONUS: What is the charge cost to cast a 1-target Subversion (healing -> damage, damage -> healing) debuff for, say, 4 turns worth of regeneration-harm? Need to implode a Dark God here.
This move causes the Dark God to be healed for 5k. It looks like he is in fact already a negative soul.
Let's see, depending on what it is, "inverting" an enemy will cost different amounts of charge. In the case of the Dark God, I don't think you'll have enough charge to reverse him.
W32Coravint.obj_player_character_028_mizuka >> CHARGE

I grab the Cerebrocrown. W32Coravint.obj_player_character_282_KuruminLSTM >> ACTION
I teleport an Attack Ship into Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, where a truck going at one undecillion miles per hour in reverse phases through it. This causes the area around both the truck and the Attack Ship to instantly speed up to infinity thanks to a "feature" of floating-point arithmetic. This also has the effect of pulling some relativistic stunt that causes both the truck and the Attack Ship to turn into a black hole, which promptly implodes because I said so, and my 20,000,000 IQ (Cerebrocrown invocation) is more than enough to make this true.
13/50 THUNDERSTRUCK You know what Iron Prince, we should work together on this one. We're all cursed anyways. Why not make everything more confusing? LJG looks at the Dark God. Man, those Greeks would enjoy this. They're always accepting new gods, aren't they? LJG decides that now that he is fighting someone with "God" in their name, he needs to pull out the big guns. And by guns, of course he means instruments. He takes out his Stealth Kazoo from round... 33. Next, he grabs a tuba (Musical Instrument). He sticks the kazoo into the mouthpiece of the tuba. He then mounts the tuba onto his shoulder in a similar way to how one holds an RPG. He starts playing a song. It's a very simple song. It is made up of five notes, with each note being lower than the one before. The first set is very slow, allowing you to understand each note played. It then plays those same notes two more times, each time faster than before. Once this is done, LJG lets out a single loud, legato, whole note. It explodes through the void, but it isn't an explosion of sound. Instead, light blasts out of the tuba. Now, due to the unskilled playing of the note, the light is multi-colored and excessively bright. The light also covers a wide area, due to the tuba's wide opening in which sound is usually projected from. This allows the light to engulf the Dark God, eating away at it's dark exterior. You know what, maybe I shouldn't tell the Greeks about him. He seems a bit... excessive. Bonus Action:
LJG writes the word scan on the pipe orcan with a pen (Writing Instrument). Suddenly, he sees the Pipe Orcan with eyes not his own. As he looks at the Pipe Orcan, he hears a monolouge about it, stuff he already knows. However, it then gets to describing some sort of curse, and he listens, wondering what's wrong with it this time. (Scanning the curse)
"Correction, you are cursed. I'm staying away from all of this. Not going to send any assistance. What's here is all you're getting."
In a massive flash of light, you illuminate the Dark God for 35k damage, blowing away the veil of shadows surrounding it. You see-
Nothing. You saw nothing at all. Underneath all that darkness is nothing but more blackness.
Cursed: Take 20,000 Damage per Round. Bypasses AC.
0/50(What, I am not wasting energy when I have a giant Dark God to kill. I am going all out)
I pull the Neutron Edge in front of me, feeling the weight of it. My suit clamps down on the blade, keeping it in my grip without any chance of losing it. I rush directly at our dark godly friend, and proceed to test the Edge. I take a leaping slash at the creature, thrusters appearing in the back of the suit, pushing me forwards towards the god. I slash down on the god's head, trying for a head splitting strike. As the strike falls, I slash the Unbreakable Katana into its neck. I then begin darting around the god, pulling quick slashes with the Unbreakable Katana, and pulling stabbing strikes into it with the Edge every time that I turn, keeping my assault going, until I feel like I am losing steam. Then I flip backwards, and warp the shape of spacetime to give step away from the god.
Power Armour || Black Hole Bomb
You miscalculate your strike, swinging wide and pinwheeling away, as the Neutron Edge displaces your center of mass. Your spinning is stopped by the massive hand of the Dark God, which crushes you for 13 Damage.
Power Armour || Black Hole Bomb. = Red Matter Suit. This is basically a bomb strapped to your head.
33 Charges
Stretching the kinks out of my system, I wave my hand and summon a large gloved hand. Said hand proceeds to pinch away the Ship Destroyer from the Neckbeast and deposit it into my hands before slapping the critter to death.
14/50 THUNDERSTRUCK Hmm... what if I just kind of... do something... strange... LJG yanks a tennis racket (Whacking Instrument) and a tennis ball (Sporting Instrument) out of his guitar case. As he picks up the racket, it multiplies into a second. LJG drops the second and serves. The ball bounces once across his floating speaker and then... LJG hits it with the other racket. Except he's still at the other side of the speaker. But, he also just hit the ball. This can't go well. LJG one returns the ball to LJG two, which LJG two responds to by launching it almost straight up. The ball goes up for, a while. It then comes flying down, landing hard on the speaker. LJG 1's side of the speaker falls down to about a 45 degree angle, but then it recovers. LJG 1 is fortunately able to hit the ball back to LJG 2 before it would have flown up into the air again. The meteor known as the tennis ball flies straight at LJG 2. LJG 2 does a quick spin and uses the centrifugal force to hit the ball back. The flaming ball spins against his racket and then flies back to LJG 1. However, the ball suddenly stops in the middle of the speaker. A line of rackets had suddenly appeared, all tied together. acting as a sort of net used in regular tennis. It recoils all the way back to where LJG 1 is standing, and LJG 1 hits the ball. The elastic potential energy is released all at once and it flies back to LJG 2. LJG 2 tries to hit it back, but it seamlessly flies straight through the netting of his tennis racket. The ball flies straight into the Dark God, burning straight through him. Does anyone have any Crocade? You know, the branded sports drink made by that one Florida football team. No? I could use some. Entity Orders: The Pipe Orcan fires at 3As 1-3.
The Attack Ship shoots at 3A 4.
Your Light Missiles engulf the Dark God in a miniature Sun for 70k damage. The amount of energy concentrated in one place at one time creates a Kugelblitz, a black hole made from light, as energy is mass. The Dark God takes this black hole, as well as the other black hole created earlier, and merges them together. He then redirects both relativistic jets of his Black Hole at you. The cocktail of ionized matter and electromagnetic energy is easily absorbed by your Dark Armor, and you take 9 damage as your cells literally boil.
P5 recovers from his headless ordeal, and punches in an alchemiter combination: Bow && Eldritch Tentacle = Malversation. A massive metal archery implement, which requires an incredibly high strength to utilize effectively. When fully drawn, an arrow will be automatically nocked along it's pitch black bowstring. Wait, why am I even telling you thi-
In the span of time it has taken me to describe this, P5 has already broken the alchemy over his knee, causing it to bleed. Are bows supposed to bleed? I don't think so. With that accomplished, he teleports over to Auma, wraps the bowstring about his neck, and pulls tight, using it as a garotte.
While he continues to sit on Auma's shoulders, he makes another Alchemy: Sickle && Eldritch Tentacle = Malignancy. I'm not going to explain what this does this time. Immediately upon completion, the Sickle begins to spin through the air towards P5. The Fifth Praetorian whispers something into Auma's ear. Whatever it is, it causes the Wizard-God to lower The Rod. P5 drops one of the bow handles, and puts his hand right behind Auma's elbow. Malignancy flies into his hands, shearing off that arm for 130k damage. P5 retrieves his Rod. This triumph is undercut by his sudden cringing of pain from being afflicted by the Curse, now that he's vulnerable.
The Attack Ships focus on 3A 1, and shoot it for a very much reduced 60k damage. The Apocalypse, Technano and Ascended Neckbeasts fall, but not before their Chronal Brother defeated 3A 1 first. The Astral Fractal Neckbeast destroys 3A 2 in retaliation for what happened.
-3 PG Morale
The remaining 3A creatures attack the Harmonious Incarnate for 100k, while the Amalgamation uses Blood to steal 75k Hp from the Harmonious Incarnate for itself. The Dark God himself generates two spheres of unreal energies, and hurls the first at the Pipe Orcan. This deals 100k damage to it, applying a stack of Enthrall and Curse to it as well. The sheer power of this attack washes over Auma and the Harmonious Incarnate for 50k (30k for Auma), and destroys НЕЦКБЕАСТ and the Attack Ship as well. The Dark God then throws his second sphere directly at the Harmonious Incarnate, dealing 100k to it, applying more Curse, dealing another 30k damage to Auma, and 10 to the Newcomer, Winkins, and Astrec. He then regenerates, and gets even stronger. The Pipe Orcan plays a countersong, disrupting the Harmonious Incarnate for 30k, as well as TOG and JOE for 6 damage.
-3 AG Morale
The Newcomer shudders as the Curse of the Dark God wracks his body. Grabbing the Prism Blade and Eternity's Eradicator, he holds along with his Orange Lance before Auma. "My lord, don't you dare die on me. Not while there's a war to be won."
He infuses Auma with a cocktail consisting of his own pooled charge, and the power contained within these artifacts together, in an attempt to heal body. Time to rewind the immediate trauma, Space in an effort to reattatch his arm, and Light, to remove the healthbar obscuration. The procedure is a semi-success, as Auma is healed for 120k, but his arm remains severed. Noticing this, The Newcomer fetches the Swissarmyknifemodder as a replacement. "Here you go."
Auma, now recovered, focuses his Light in a concentrated blast towards the Dark God, damaging him for 150k.

Slam the back cover of the book and also reality onto the Dark God, thus ending the story. This action prioritizes moving them back into the Hole in the Void over dealing damage to the point of being non-damaging and thus a relocation action instead of an attack if possible.
@Overfiend Uh, I think we'll have some issues with public place getting for a while, Godmodder-destroying wild hunt obligation and all that. Also, some fellow attackers in this war have a bad habit of consuming a large amount of time within a turn-based abstraction, hours specifically might be inconvenient. What's your negotiation outlook on alternative timescale and preferred distribution places?
Related questions on doing so before we make deals (sorry for the question barrage, Descendant time and stuff means textwalls are faster for back and forth):
-Do you have any preferred distribution media, or specific qualities/sticker plans to advertise?
-Is this a general purpose business number to distribute, or do you have a different number/communication you want publicized?
-What's your company's big ideological outlook, vision summary, or mission statement that would work for advertising?
-What about advertising campaigns and media that need to be consistent?
-Do you have any target audiences and secondary demographics to reach out to?
-Any areas to avoid you want respected/have already interacted with enough to establish market/lack-thereof?
-How 'public' are we talking here?
-Are you aware of a certain alchemiter creating knockoff versions of various weapons and tools from various polities?
-Do you have any political affiliations with the Godmodder's PEOPLE, Nihil Magna, or other voidic and universal that we need to worry about?
BONUS: What's the outlook (charge cost, 'just throw the godmodder at it', or 'use specific power that's not Astrec', etc.) to remove the 'Can only be closed by person who opened it' quality from the hole in the void? It's probably not going to look good, but if we simply use a certain offender as a battering ram indefinitely elsewhere, we can just make this problem remain a problem indefinitely until Her Godmodding overturns all that is.
I sacrifice the Godmodder's absence to fire a burst of social presence as a pushgun to pressure the Dark God back out of voidreality and signal the Godmodder she has top forces in extreme danger.
