CYOA is a Chalice of Regrets: A Worm SI Quest

Hey! I already posted that video! Idea stealer!

Anyway,

-[x]Use gravity to pull up the ground, create a whole lot of dust
-[x]Use our butterflies as decoys.
-[x]Get out of there

On the contrary, i loved your idea so much that i just had to see it implemented. Think of it more as a homage.

There's no sign of Destructive Impulses being active right now, so we might as well leave. Also, we should test at some point exactly what satisfies DI's requirements. Maybe just general chaos and mayhem will do, with actual casualties being optional. When it activates we should try to just focus on property damage, see if that works. Completely wrecking a city's infrastructure should count as an "act of terrible destruction".
 
I don't know about others, but i'd love our end-bringer to become the most feared of them all. As such, i'd rather we cause as many casualties as possible; Our signature needs to be unique and awe inspiring.

Behemoth is the hero killer, Leviathan is the infrastructure destroyer and simurgh the mind-bender. We need to become something independent of them which is equally impressive if not moreso - Why not civilian killer, then?

what about *Drumroll* nation builder instead? carve out our own empire like a gang in the various cities or warlord in Africa, such will very easily have us cause frequent destruction and give us time to learn to limits of the requirements for that destruction.

Leviathan already does that. He's the city killer. He sinks whole islands and cities, drowning (well, most actually die from being slammed against debris by the currents, both when the waves hit and when they go back to the sea) any and all civilians that couldn't be evacuated.

overall though im thinking regardless of what we want to do, we just "spawned" as it where and have no idea how to properly use our powers, we NEED to leave before we become a end bringer that actually gets beaten and either die or become a science experiment.

Let's bravely run away.

Hmm, nothing points to Destructive Impulses being on yet, so I say fall back.
Don't mind the destruction we could cause, but we're pretty new to this. SO if we can, I say retreat for now, learn more about our powers then wreck stuff.

I'm kinda upset we didn't get the Power Null...

We could easily become the most feared Endbringer. Not because we kill lots of people, but because nobody can fight against us without making things worse. We turn up in a city, the heroes show up, we copy their powers and cause untold destruction. Eventually they'll just stop coming to fight us, leaving the population defenseless and afraid.
Additionally, if we back out now, we become somewhat unpredictable.
