Black Kingdom Rising - Anime Villain Quest [CK2 Quest]

Reader mode
[X] Soldiers in disguise: You've got some advice from Evetta on how to actually go about improving the combat capabilities of your Golems. According to her, you could theoretically grant your golems a more combat capable form though it would also depend on the intelligence and ego of the golem themselves. If successful, your golems may be able to become completely viable combatants. With power to spare, you're ready to bring up the existence of your golems up a notch. Cost: 400 EP. Chance of success 100% Reward: Minion Type - Golem Rank Up. All existing Golems gains combat upgrade. Certain Golems evolves into Spirit Tools.

[X] Animals of the Black Kingdom: The Black Beasts are strong monsters. With some Ebon Power, you can turn a small kitten into a deadly monstrous saber-toothed tiger. But what if you tried using your powers of other kinds of creatures as well as bigger ones as well? The forces of the Black Kingdom need their heavy hitters, steeds, and war animals. You just have to figure out which ones are best to use. Cost: 500 EP. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Black Beast Upgrade. 5 new Black Beasts.???

I want the Ruby doll to be able to use her sniper scythe. Animals for the cav charge, and for the spy animals.

Edit: There is one thing we also need, a culling or purging squad.

The exorcists are doing well by themselves but you're certain that they could use some help. Plus you simply don't really care for these skeleton demon things that the funny looking demon due in a top-hat has been shoving into his victims' bodies. Cost: 100 Ebon Shadows. 20 Neoshadows. 5 Black Beast. Chance of Success: 50% Reward: "Akuma" forces reduced drastically. Exorcist group SL gained. ???

[X] Magical Girl Villain Culling: Despite the sudden apparent cosmic retcon of a number of villains that the magical girl of Las Angeyoto had to face, there are still those that remain and with less competition, they will only grow more powerful. Best to prune away these threats before they become truly dangerous. Cost: 200 Ebon Shadows. 40 Neoshadows. 5 Black Beasts. Chance of Success: 80%. Reward: Information on magical girl villain forces. Improved relations with Magical girls outside the Company. Ebon Power. ???

better to let them live and grow, the more they evolve the more negative energy they have to harvest from their corpse

honeslty, we are going to need more stronger forces, why show our hand early?

Because they get progressively weirder shit that is (potentially) powered by Dark Matter. I dunno if that's what Shibo is using now, but even if it isn't... Letting them live to get stronger will have a very, very bad effect on things.

For God's sake, their first form fires bullets that causes living mater to disintegrate into literal poison powder, which causes other people to disintegrate into poison powder, and so on!

Your point? We can deal with them with massed shadows, they will learn to fear the dark.

Keep in mind that Jacob still loves his city.

The Ebon Emperor has scewed his morality quite a bit, but he still wants his home, family and friends to be safe and happy. So he will likely not enjoy letting chaotic dark monsters rampage through the city when he can stop them. And that is exactly what Akuma do.

They are a bigger risk to the Masquerade the supernatural factions are maintaining than the Magic girl enemies and I have a feeling that if anything goes public things start escalating a hell of a lot faster.

...

Do you really think Shadows, even masses of them, will be able to deal with a group of Level Twos, or god forbid, a Level Three Akuma?

If a L4 shows up everything is fucked. v:

They won't fear the Dark because they are the Dark.

The longer they exist, the worse the collateral damage of their existence becomes.

The more they kill, the more people despair and wish to bring their loved ones back.

The more they wish for revival... the more converts the Earl acquires.

you do realize it doesn't matter right? we are confined to a single city due to our LACK of forces, the Earl has THE WORLD to recruit from. All destroying Akuma right now does is attract attention for meager energy gains and self satisfaction. We should really focus on expanding and upgrading our forces.

Is that an assumption I see? Last I checked we didn't have any concrete info pointing to this Earl maintaining a global network.
 
[X] Magic Core Hunt: Renata has exposed herself to the magical community. While her identity is unknown, her actions have caused a stir. However, you cannot falter here and now. You must collect more pages, even if you have to personally oversee the operation yourself. With a horde of energy stealing shadows at your side, the magic cores will be yourself. Cost: 100EP. Chance of Success: 50% Reward: Fill up more pages in the Book of Ebon. ???

Not only do they pack a punch, but apparently they also inject anyone hit by their attacks with some virus that kills people and make their bodies crumble into ashes.

And if the Akuma level up/someone reports on Ebon to the Earl anyway? v:

Honestly a clash is probably going to happen, if only due to Ebon's distaste at the Earl's operating methods. As well as the possibility of it spilling all across the city and killing a lot of people.

Mind, a lot of things could spill across the city and kill a lot of people, but I don't think (certainly could be wrong) that any of the other factions have minions that literally level up off of murder and death.

Assumptions are dangerous to make, after all. ... Even the assumptions I've been making, yes. Considering the information that's been given, I'd like to think they're at least somewhat solid, but without concrete info...

Yeah.

if going to assume we are going to clash, rather try to keep the clash as far into the future as possible so we can build up more. we barely have any forces

If they grow on killing, then a single rampage would end in things that would need us personally tp attack? And they already seem good at killing large numbers of people.

you do realize it takes a lot of kills for a single level 1 to become a level 2 then a hell of a lot more to level 3?
if they actually did try to level up quick then the other factions WOULD notice and respond instead of just the exorcists.
unless of course they got plot armor which is keeping them hidden and safe in which case we doomed.

Depends on how many people they kill. It does take a 'substantial' amount of death to cause them to transform, but each form does increase their threat level by a new factor (abilities, strengths, etc)... I'd post an article on them, but it contains D.Grey-Man spoilers and such.

Considering L1s have been discovered, though...

... I won't say it's absolutely more important than the other ventures that Ebon could be doing, but it would be a good idea to deal with the problem sooner rather than later, in my opinion.
 
[X] Steel Sentinels: Ebon Steel does not lend itself to life very easily. It's not impossible if you consider Evetta's Ebon Steel Doll Soldiers. Even if it\ was on the same level as your weakest golems, they were intelligent or at least sapient. Having examined some of the few remaining Ebon Steel Dolls, combined with your greater mastery of Ebon Power, you believe you can create your own versions. Cost: 500 EP. Chance of Success: 100%. Reward: New Minion Type - Knight gained. ???

Not only do they pack a punch, but apparently they also inject anyone hit by their attacks with some virus that kills people and make their bodies crumble into ashes.

​

If people think the demons are this dangerous, I might as well go along with it.
But... upgrading existing units is a bottomless hole, there will always be another upgrade to make. Just getting all the unit-types should come first, so we can make an informed decision on what to empower.

This seems the absolute worst time to go for golems. Golems are all about being relatively easy to hide but also (relatively) weak. We need an actual heavy hitter for our forces. And golems are pretty much the worst choice between the three for that. Knights are presumably Elite Mooks/Sergeants and Beasts are primarily killing machines. Getting something that can actually be a dedicated combatant worth a damn is a better bet than pursuing more golems.

We need better soldiers if we want to be more proactive in hunting down other forces in this city.

I'm not saying upgrading Golems isn't a smart idea sooner rather than later, but we need bonafide badasses (that are relatively mass producible) capable of holding their own sooner rather than later.
