"Now, it's time to play... Will I Press The Right Button!? Today's contestants are me, myself, and I! Today, I'll be pressing... this button!" The alien taps a random button on his wrist controller. The button disappears into the controller and becomes a small hole. From that hole, another mechanical arm appears. This one holds a buzz saw. "Yes! Yes! I finally got a good one! Ha ha ha!" The alien presses another button, and the buzz saw starts spinning. He approaches Thanos with a wicked grin on his face. "It's me!" he screams at the mad titan. He swings his arm down and the buzz saw cuts at Thanos. Interestingly enough, the blade hits Thanos's gauntlet arm. The buzz saw cuts it off in such a graphic way that, by the end of the attack, a huge censored box replaces the buzz saw's saw. Anyways, this means that the Infinity Gauntlet is a. Still attached to Thanos('s arm), and b. has been removed. Or, at least Thanos's arm has a paper cut...
Dragovich roars, the roar echoing out... from the Mind Stone! Apparently he somehow had his own mind copied into it when no one was looking! And now the Mind Stone glows with incredible power, its ability being warped in a way not intended, but certainly related to its field - Psychic powers! A psychic shell of Dragovich emerges from the Mind Stone, forcefully grabbing and pulling on it as hard and viciously as possible!

I bake a cake. upon the cake are the words "Nedben or whatever your name is, would you be willing to use the Reality Gem to make The Cake?". Then I throw the cake in Proxima Midnight's face. The Trauma of the last Cake burying them causes them to experience such PTSD that they fall down, allowing the cake to hit Corvus Glaive's Glaive into Corvus Glaive's face, leading to both of them dropping the reality gem.

He was unable to pry the Gem out. Damnit! He then realized he would run out of hyper time soon, disengagement was in order.
He managed to boosted out of range of Thanos and looks to his minions. He had a great, wonderful idea. He began to glow a unsettling green aura as his battle aura flares out and he stomps the arena. Under the surface a patterning disrupting energy weave reached in radius of a Thanos goons. Then converts the area mass, 50 foot wide and 120 feet deep from solid, dense mass to actual energy. This was bad for them. As such a reaction was tons of tnt going off in a mushroom cloud.
A non nuclear nuke basically with atom shengians.
Now has to stay back to recharge. ( that and so busy with stuff already so going to be charging for a while.

If one of them is still holding on, I make cakes in each direction from them, 6 meters away. The indecision of which CAKE to get first distracts them into not noticing when I steal the Reality Gem, despite its transcendant experiential thingies.
If I have the Reality Gem, I summon The Cake like i wanted to do last time.
[0] Talking.
I bake a cake. The Cake is very smart, and it explains to Thanos that there are numerous ways Descended, Godmodding, The Reality Gem, and other powers in the void could be used to defeat entropy. Furthermore, with the space gem he need but find One universe which doesn't have entropy as a law, and expand it. I know of one where it is avoidable: [insert generic-earth-universe-1 co-ordinates here]. In that particular universe, entropy would normally be an issue, but time-frozen matter behaves like it is of 0 degrees kelvin, which allows them to 'break even' with no net change in entropy over time. If nothing else, one could create a new universe with no entropy law. perhaps a world where things are made of ideas, instead of atoms? At any rate, there are better uses then killing half of reality, and killing 50% of people is wildly immoral regardless.
Thanos contemplates a second before answering.
"I have no access to the powers of Descendancy, nor that of Godmodding."
He then proceeds to tackle your second criticism.
"Morality... mortality is subjective. One might argue that allowing the most lives to exist as possible is what is most moral. Others might argue that some lives are more valuable than others. Perhaps those that exist already are more valuable than those that might be. Others still may argue that quality of life is more valuable than the amount of lives.
By any of these measures, it is better to shed a few branches of the tree off of the tree of life now, before they can continue to split and grow. If we do not, eventually the tree will be unable to sustain itself, and will be uprooted under its own weight before its time is come.
I am the farmer who tends to life, and these Gems are my shears. Should any thorns prick me as I reach for them, then those vines shall be the first to be cut."
Your thieving from Glaive (who is too stunned to fight back) succeeds~ You now have the Reality Gem! Thanos stops you before you use it, though.
"...If you truly believe that the Gems may work that way, then allow me to try them. I beg of you."
Charging: 13/50 "Whoa whoa whoa. I... I didn't think I had a liver? Did I have a liver? I might have had a liver. I guess having a liver is better than no liver. Even if it isn't very happy with me. Well, anyways. It is time to use my ULTIMATE ATTACK! Ha ha ha ha ha!" The Blue Brigadier taps a big red button on his wrist controller. The button begins to glow and flash. An arm extends out of the wrist controller. Out of that extends a humongous barrel. "Ha ha! Thanos won't know what hit him!" He presses the red button again and a huge smoke cloud erupts from the barrel. A bang echoes through the battlefield. Out of the smoke, the ultimate payload fires out. And that payload is... a small plunger with a string attached to it. It flies at Thanos and hits the power stone. "Oh. Umm... ta-da." The alien tugs at the rope. It won't come off. He keeps trying. Nothing happens. Finally, either the Infinity Stone or the plunger gives way and the rope comes flying back to the alien. "Umm... I stand by the fact that Thanos doesn't know what hit him."
The robot looks over at the Arbiter for a second. "Scans indicate you are the Arbiter, but readings indicate you are a different one than the one my maker has encountered. Do you guys have a union, or anything? My name is True Neo, by the way. My creator never gave me a clear answer on why. He always said something about having worked a bit more on the defenses." True Neo then rushes to the mad titan once more. He puts away his sword, and his hands become laser emitters. He swings them around, front and center, and then shoots the laser beams, focused by a floating prism that came off him as he moved, with the beam going straight into the power gem. The gem is in fact a crystal, focusing it further, and then the blast comes out the other end, straight into the gauntlet, forcing the gem further out of the gauntlet.

I, uh, arbiter?
Uhhhh, you aren't supposed to be able to see me. Or this. Any of this. You're supposed to be "in character", I think.
I'm not quite sure how any of this is actually supposed to work. I just stole this laptop from my boyfriend while he was out and have been running this program out of boredom ever since, honestly.
The file with the instruction manual crashed every time I tried to open it, so I'm just winging this here.
I, uh, hope I'm doing alright.
Failing to take advantage of the plunger does nothing to diminish its helpfulness, somehow. +35% removal of Power Gem.
He then looks to see that things, are far from over and just getting a breather. Hopefully blast would harm/kill or distract them from the gems. That purple bastard has three of them!
He needs more energy, yet right now not sure what to do! He will need to be trickier with the gems. That damn space gem. Also has a idea of what to do to Thanos. Though it maybe much. Something with more energy, he forgot his place.
This is not the realm of light, he has to work on physics of this universe otherwise would blow it all to hell.
Oh gorillaing dammit , they're all dead. Oh well. I teleport over to Thanos, and level my hand at him. The time stone glows, and a wave emits from it, the area around it.. glitching, for lack of another word. The time stone flies up, and...
Slams down, too fast to be grabbed.
Thanos is thrown backward, onto the glaive.
He then notices the armada of hands slowly advancing towards the space stone, swirling around, slowly prying it, and...
5 CHARGE EXPENDED!
They glow, and the power of the time stone speeds them up, and they speed up, ripping it out, as a few more hands grab the glaive from the owner's hands, and out of Thanos's back, and chuck it at high speeds into thanos's head, as I grab the Space Stone from my minion hands, and speeding myself up with the time stone, and running, getting as far away from thanos as I can while the hands hold him down, until i get out of range and the hands explode, no longer sustained.
You manage to nearly steal the Space stone, although Thanos just barely manages to hold onto it! It's almost there, though! One more action should do it!
The Glaive and exploding hands do about 20,000 damage (ignoring his armor entirely). Corvus Glaiveless panics!
OOC: (Nope. Arbiter is name for the DM. They technically exist in universe as an arbiter. Mostly just yell at us. Occasionally useful for plot knowledge dispensers. Only good for deep plot. Mainly wanted to be conversational.)

True Neo continues his bid for the power stone.
He suddenly shrinks, saying "Pym particles activated." He shrinks down to a ridiculously small size.
He then flies over to the infinity gauntlet. But here is the thing. He is smaller than the gems. There is room under the power stone currently, both from previous prying attempts, and also the fact that the space stone could be grabbed by claws. And he is small enough that the distance doesn't need to be much. He climbs under the stone, and then prepares himself for what comes next.
He says, "Enlarging particle dose, go." He suddenly begins growing towards normal size, from directly between the gauntlet, and the stone. The stone is loose by this point, and he pushes with all he has, kicking it up and out as he grows. By the time Thanos can see him, since the mind stone isn't helping with a robot with circuitry where a brain would be, he has already forced the stone to separate from the gauntlet fully. He pushes a button appearing on his arm, and he jumps back to normal size. He then rushes away, not wanting Thanos to try to get the thing back too quickly.
Charge expended= as much a necessary, used to maintain integrity while pushing the gem from the gauntlet.
You easily manage to pry the Gem without expending any charge, thanks in no small part to the plunger you again don't explicitly use! The Power Gem is yours!
EXPENDING 5 Charge
I timestep over to Thanos, and do a series of overly complicated Judo Arts, before slamming a chair into his face! Then, I expend 5 charge, and empower my minion hands with timespeeding up or something, and they work thrice as fast, prying the Space Gem away! I grab it, and run like the wind, using the space and time stone to speed myself up.
Your attempt to use the Time Gem is stopped, as you can feel it eating away at your very fourthdimensional being! You can only use the Gem about once per round without it starting to harm you in some way.
You decide not to attack Thanos.
The Charge is enough to pry away the Space Gem! You're about to grab it, until you remember that wielding more than one Gem at a time is literally impossible for one of your powerlevel. You decide to just leave it there for someone to grab.

Thanos had no actions disrupted this round (except one stopping JOE from misusing a Gem), and therefore perfectly capable of kicking [redacted], despite having lost two stones this round.
Firstly, he uses the Mind Gem to clear Proxima Midnight of her PTSD, making her immune to cake-based-trauma-as-attacks.
Secondly, he grabs the Shotgoanna. He spins it once, cocks it (incorrectly), and then takes aim at Flaming Magi.
Third action. He fires the Shotgoana. It shouts "Bang!" as it does 20 damage, flat-out.
Not his taste in weapon, personally, but he can't argue with those numbers. Nor with that corpse.
With his fourth action, he heads over to the corpse of his latest victim. He reaches down and picks up the Time Gem.
"I see Time, and I am one with it. I see your futures. My victory shall lead to a perfect life for you. Or perhaps a perfect afterlife, for those that refuse my rule."
His fifth and final action is used to pull an action from the future into the now. A rift in time appears, and from it fires yet another "Bang! Gottem, boss!", as True Neo is hit full-force by the Shotgoanna blast from the future. 20 damage. On the bright side, this means that Thanos won't be able to use it at some point in the future.
Cull Obsidian begin bodyguarding Proxima midnight.
Proxima Midnight grabs Corvus's Glaive and hands it back to him.

Thanos is seeking the Infinity Gems. He has all of them on this battlefield, and there's no getting away from them. You are the only people between him and his goals.
Keep the Infinity Gems from Thanos. They will be strong, but you'll have to use them wisely.
Thanos has multiple actions. Six in total. This means that given the chance, he will use multiple gems each round.
Players can only hold one Infinity Gem at a time. They are also only able to be used once per round.
You're also dealing with the Black Order. They each have their little gimmicks, but Thanos is the main threat.
Beware of his durability. 15 AC means you're losing 15,000 damage on your attacks, and entities are losing 75,000 damage on theirs every time they hit him.
Disarming Thanos of the Infinity Gauntlet is impossible. However, the gems can be pried off. Doing so is difficult, but doable.
You don't have your artifacts on your person right now. However, you are starting with 10/50 charge, and your regular damage cap has been raised to 50,000. Take advantage of group charging mechanics to make things.
You cannot take the Infinity Gems out the current battlefield. If you want an in-battle reason, it's that Thanos has messed with Space so that you're all stuck there with him. As a result, you have to make it so that he's stuck there with you.
You may attempt to justify respawn time being shorter using an Infinity Gem action. Because otherwise this'd be a pain.

True Neo, now just to be designated Neo in these to save time, finishes his repair cycle.

"Ooh, actors. I wonder if I can get a job... Never mind! It's button pressing time." He presses a button. Nothing happens. "Hmm... that's not good." He presses the button again. Nothing happens again. He tries another button. Another nothing happens. Finally, he presses every button. Every nothing happens. "Oh come on! I get one good button press and now you stop working! Fine, have it your way." The alien slips off the wrist controller and throws it at Thanos. It flies in the air, covering great distances... if 7 millimeters is a great distance. The wrist controller hits the ground, hitting a button. The button does nothing. "Grr... Why doesn't this thing work!?" He picks up the wrist controller and flips it over to its back. The label reads, "This product was patented by Space Inc., the most generic company you've ever known. If your controller isn't working, simply replace the batteries." The alien groans and does this. Upon completion, he throws the old batteries behind himself. The batteries hit the ground and the tops explode. The alien ducks and yells "What the-" before the batteries go flying over his head and hits Thanos in the face. The alien carefully presses a button on his controller, a towel appears. He wipes his face off and then puts it back. "Sheesh. That label is very misleading."
The remaining cavalry stampede reveals various ranged weapons, and fires at Proxima Midnight! A whole barrage of horseback archers' arrows, laser beams, magic missiles, narwhal electricity, throwing dishes, stakes, apple pie, fishhooks, an actual kitchen sink, and several other miscellaneous items crushes Proxima Midnight!

He then proceeds to press another button. The wrist controller starts to move, as if it has a life of its own. The entire controller opens up and a mooing sound echoes within. Suddenly, a mechanical bull comes exploding out of the wrist controller. The inner compartment closes and the bull starts bouncing around. After doing this for a while, the bull stops. It stares right at the red cape. The alien notices this just as the bull begins to charge. He rips at his cape, just barely being able to get it off before the bull hits it. The bull wildly rampages through the battlefield, but ultimately misses everything. Everything except Thanos. The bull rams right into Thanos's chest, pushing him back and goring him with its horns. However, after pushing Thanos for a bit, it just falls apart, being made for convenient storage, not stability. "Note to self: change cape color."

"Becoming a Godmodder myself... I couldn't do it. Becoming powerful enough make a difference involves attracting beings with enough power to rival you. More often than not, they do so in a most violent and distracting manner.
As for having access to Descended... well, even if you were to stop attempting to murder me (which I highly doubt, based on the fact that your assault on myself was unprovoked, sudden and is being performed by some horribly irrational and violent people), your powers combined with my own would be nowhere near enough to overcome the Ninth/Zeroth dimension.

He looks disturbed by your words, despite not fully understanding them.

I assume this means you wanted to use two charges for an action. Because that's next-to-useless, I will pretend you didnt do that and allow you to be at 3/50 charge. Next post you will be at 4/50. The post after that will put you at 5/50, at which point your charges can *start* being useful.

Correct.))
The micro colony begins pushing on the Time Gem. Someone has already nabbed the Space Gem.
Thanos looks at you with the disappointment of ten-thousand school teachers. He speaks to you in a similarly shaming voice.
"You are an imbecile. You speak of things you do not understand. You show images and diagrams with no relation to the situation at hand. You know nothing of what I intend to do."
He looks borderline angry at your argument.
"The universe is currently spiraling towards disaster. More and more beings are being born into a harsh, painful life every minute. Uncountable amounts of them will live short lives of suffering that will end in a pointless and horrible death.
Meanwhile, they will drain resources until there are none left. Even for the privileged few who might live peaceful lives were resources not an issue. As poverty rises, so to will crime and violence, until the Void is nothing but a war-torn wasteland of the dying and the dead."
He is filled with renewed vigor by his own speech.
"You are a barbarian who fights not for life or peace, but because you enjoy it. You are the villain that will destroy life as a whole. I am doing what is right. I beg of you to reconsider your position in opposition of the greater good. Join me, and leave a legacy of heaven on earth, as it were."

You grab the Power Gem, reentering a state of vulnerability. You, meanwhile, feel like you could destroy anything. Conquer worlds. Beat up Timmy from third grade, finally. This is what true power feels like.
Charging: 15/50
"Ooh, actors. I wonder if I can get a job... Never mind! It's button pressing time." He presses a button. Nothing happens. "Hmm... that's not good." He presses the button again. Nothing happens again. He tries another button. Another nothing happens. Finally, he presses every button. Every nothing happens. "Oh come on! I get one good button press and now you stop working! Fine, have it your way." The alien slips off the wrist controller and throws it at Thanos. It flies in the air, covering great distances... if 7 millimeters is a great distance. The wrist controller hits the ground, hitting a button. The button does nothing. "Grr... Why doesn't this thing work!?" He picks up the wrist controller and flips it over to its back. The label reads, "This product was patented by Space Inc., the most generic company you've ever known. If your controller isn't working, simply replace the batteries." The alien groans and does this. Upon completion, he throws the old batteries behind himself. The batteries hit the ground and the tops explode. The alien ducks and yells "What the-" before the batteries go flying over his head and hits Thanos in the face. The alien carefully presses a button on his controller, a towel appears. He wipes his face off and then puts it back. "Sheesh. That label is very misleading."
The remaining cavalry stampede reveals various ranged weapons, and fires at Proxima Midnight! A whole barrage of horseback archers' arrows, laser beams, magic missiles, narwhal electricity, throwing dishes, stakes, apple pie, fishhooks, an actual kitchen sink, and several other miscellaneous items crushes Proxima Midnight!

"Hmm... if we're in a movie, that means that I need a cape!" He instinctively presses one of the buttons on his wrist controller and a red cape sprouts from his jumpsuit. He then proceeds to press another button. The wrist controller starts to move, as if it has a life of its own. The entire controller opens up and a mooing sound echoes within. Suddenly, a mechanical bull comes exploding out of the wrist controller. The inner compartment closes and the bull starts bouncing around. After doing this for a while, the bull stops. It stares right at the red cape. The alien notices this just as the bull begins to charge. He rips at his cape, just barely being able to get it off before the bull hits it. The bull wildly rampages through the battlefield, but ultimately misses everything. Everything except Thanos. The bull rams right into Thanos's chest, pushing him back and goring him with its horns. However, after pushing Thanos for a bit, it just falls apart, being made for convenient storage, not stability. "Note to self: change cape color."

Then I pull out a Great Hammer and shatter the ice pillar containing Corvus Glaive, embedding many ice shards in his body and also dealing a large amount of damage.
Thanos' confidence is still intact, but his lingering worry over what the Pastry Paladin mentioned earlier remains in the back of his mind.
He decides to solve this problem by taking aim at the source of his bother. With a shotgoanna. "Eat lead, loser! Bang!"
20 damage to the Pasty Paladin, killing them.
He then swings two fists at The Cake. Rolls are good, though, and both attacks hit false cakes.
Angered but defeated, Thanos moves on to the corpse of his kill. He reaches down and grabs the Reality Gem.
"Now, all of Reality bends yet again to my will. And my will is now reality."
Thanos then grabs a B-list Actor and uses the Mind Gem slow their thoughts down, decreasing their dodge by 20%.
Finally, Thanos timestops an A-list Actor for a round, decreasing the group's overall effectiveness.
Ebony Maw has finished studying the Soul Gem. You guys all failed to grab it, despite it being only loosely held. He uses it to scan and copy Proxima Midnight's Soul.
Cull Obsidian attack some extras, doing 22,000 damage to each. Corvus Glaive stabs at an A-list Actor for 42,000 damage, thanks to his Glaive. Proxima Midnight shoots the Extras, doing 110,000 damage because of crits.
The A-list Actors attack Cull Obsidian for 56,700 damage. The B-list Actors support them in a dramatic manner, providing an extra 58,000 damage. The Extras and The Cake do nothing.
The micro colony removes the Time Gem by a small margin.

Thanos Dop
How To Play:
Thanos is seeking the Infinity Gems. He has all of them on this battlefield, and there's no getting away from them. You are the only people between him and his goals.
Keep the Infinity Gems from Thanos. They will be strong, but you'll have to use them wisely.
Thanos has multiple actions. Six in total. This means that given the chance, he will use multiple gems each round.
Players can only hold one Infinity Gem at a time. They are also only able to be used once per round.
You're also dealing with the Black Order. They each have their little gimmicks, but Thanos is the main threat.
Beware of his durability. 15 AC means you're losing 15,000 damage on your attacks, and entities are losing 75,000 damage on theirs every time they hit him.
Disarming Thanos of the Infinity Gauntlet is impossible. However, the gems can be pried off. Doing so is difficult, but doable.
You don't have your artifacts on your person right now. However, you are starting with 10/50 charge, and your regular damage cap has been raised to 50,000. Take advantage of group charging mechanics to make things.
You cannot take the Infinity Gems out the current battlefield. If you want an in-battle reason, it's that Thanos has messed with Space so that you're all stuck there with him. As a result, you have to make it so that he's stuck there with you.
You may attempt to justify respawn time being shorter using an Infinity Gem action. Because otherwise this'd be a pain.
14/?? Charge.
EXPENDING ALL CHARGE
0/?? Charge.
14 charge being funneled into action.
To counter the Shotgonna, I summon the Priceytag. As the Shotgoanna is based off of Goanna, the Priceytag is based on Pricey12345. It's a artifact, so lets go over its powers.
Being a price tag, it has powers over money, cost, and greed, along with limited glitch and jpeg powers, because pricey. It mainly buffs attempts to distract and/or debilitate targets.
It also has the secondary power of being linked to me, in a way. This gives it the effect of being twice as hard to take then regular artifacts, and requires twice as many actions for people who aren't me to use. So for people who are not me, it requires two actions to pick up, and two to use, so Thanos would have to waste two of his six actions.
I equip the Priceytag around my neck, like, well, a necklace of sorts, and project a wall of glitch around me, causing any would be attackers or projectiles to get lagged out when they try and hit me.
4/50 charge ( he is horrified that Thanos can not comprehend what he is saying. He is not fighting for barbarism ork Blood last. He is on a higher mission, by a Being who creates and balances Freakken universes.)
The eyes that have known all reflect. A maze of pillars, a cocoon of wrath.
The scenes of death that we have all remembered. I II Ii L, the fall of Titans and Atlantises by the thousand. Empires across genres collapse.
But our real strike is analysis. We explain in excruciating detail the causes of these events and how to curtail them, and recovery in the aftermath should we fail. We show Thanos what their path perpetuates, starting from the suicide of creation and collapse of society that began it. We trace what has been spoken and tear their fouled arguments apart, and explain their twisted logic's unblessed birth as mistaken impulse, with countless voices impossible to ignore, clearer than thought, more comprehensible than all royalty. The origins and processes of strange thoughts and better alternatives are expressed finer than any iron.
No silence, pollution, or mindguard can save the Mad Titan from the uttered unaltered truth.

Neo looks over the battlefield. He decides that there is only one threat that warrants full force at the moment. He therefore rushes straight at Thanos, before... Tendrils of green energy shoot out of his hands, taking advantage of the space made by the microcolony, and then he pulls with all his strength, discluding the power stone, since he will use that next, using up however much is necessary of his current CP in the process, trying to pull the Time stone out of the gauntlet. If it works, it is launched out in the direction of the alien who keeps yammering about having fought thanos previously.
It's all useless. I don't like that. I remove the concentrated uselessness by making Corvus Glaive take damage from it, due to making the surrounding air useless at handling the immense atmospheric pressure and sonic attacks of existing on a DTG battlefield with all this loud music playing on the ground!
17/50 The Pastry Paladin appears from cake, for he is of cake apparently he didn't die? and still has the gem? and shotgoanna exists in two places at once?
anyway if still has Gem the paladin tries to make The Cake have 'I dub the Knight of Kake' as a special and maybe some of the others.
Otherwise he tries to reshape The Cake to have the special, just without the Gem.
The Special Cake of Talking and "It's me stop describing it already" alright alright.
They apologize for the clashing colors and instead create their words in floating, glowing text format. "ach, anyway."
"Yeeeah, the Paladins an idiot. I think he used to be kinda smart but then I made him like cake."
"It seemed like a good idea at the time, ok?"
"...anyway. The Omega Godmodder."
"Given you haven't heard of him... Of a grand fight of Godmodding and descended... of a court case on ownership of a forgotten star... Of a thousand born and fallen in breaths... of a dark god crushed and resurfacing... and so forth..."
"I am from the Future. Distant or near, I know not for certain."
"I will be and have been and am a descended who joined the initial assault. But I did not come there to fight the new Godmodder. I came to join them, protect them, help them. explore and learn, and, admitadly, i hoped to have a good time in the process. but everyone has vices."
"Time Passed. I helped them. They were stronger then they ought have been. had grand pillars to weaken the descended and weapons from an age long, long, long passed."
"There were some... difficulties, on the level of reality itself i believe, and so I came to myself however long ago, and to 'Adrian Celstus', and insinuated myself into their minds such as I could, even as I was already within myself, taking back power. regardless..."
"The strangeness and difficulties taught me a lot about reality, some of which I have since confirmed."
"The Godmodder I will/have help(ed) was not what was thought. He was an Omega, or perhaps Plus... memory forgets the strangest things."
"anyway, I am from the Future, and in that future I heard no tale nor whisper of your massively parallel killing."
"And so any plan which would lead to such memory is doomed to fail, I feel."
"Also, what ninth/zero dimension, and..."
"Why would you-with-all-6-gems be stronger then you-and-these-descended-working-together-and-wielding-3-gems-each?"
"As for why the Paladin came here to fight you... I wasn't really watching him at the time, not until I felt the Gem, but I'd guess he heard something about the Gems and concluded the Reality Gem would let him make The Cake. "
I Tell the Extras to..start building a lab for super science. because as Extras, while they may not be Main characters they are extremely adaptable unlike the A or B listers who only settle into one role.
Anyways after I do that I Use the Space stone to summon a pianon over the Mad titan, and let it drop...and then I summon a Giant safe over said Piano and let it fall.
