Would you Distort or manifest EGO?

The post I wanted to make before the update dropped, with sped up arguments
1: Agents
Judging by NT's Performance and the QM's comment on Big Bird earlier, we'd probably need a team of maxed out Agents and DoSaM's leadership to reliably kill an fully unrestrained Aleph (no Deterrence, as always)
2: Wishes
Wishes unconditionally* (I'm not sure how Potential factors into this) grant one and only one thing fully ("and" is allowed, but you can't abuse that at all), but whether said "thing" is what you truly want, instead of what you think you want; and whether the consequences of the Wish is what you want, are different things. (Note: Not talking about the whole turning into a Witch thing here, but DoSaM in full form should be able to handle it - fully immune to Mental Influences)
Also, the Soul Gem is unironically less than useless for us, if we make a Wish we need to talk to QB about this
3: Exposure
Got ninja'd by the update, but if Exposure cannot be blocked, the Exposure levels would have continued rising here (and also we'd get to see what Incubators can do offensively, most likely)

E: Lepidoptera, is Qliphotic the reason why DoSaM will kill the world if released as-is right now, or is it something else?
E2: There Is No Outside - Spatial Warping, or no Outside of the Isolation Barrier?

By the way. After this chapter, I will say one thing.

We absolutely cannot let Apocalypse Bird comes into existence outside of DoSaM's world.

Like ABSOLUTELY NOT.

If DoSaM is THIS BAD. I do not think that other Pinnacles are gonna be as easy to deal with as NT.

Especially when Apocalypse Bird is as Invincible to damage as NT is.

Would it even have the 3 eggs in an unrestrained state?
 
Well
The only thing I can hope for is that homura doesn't keel over dead without winding
....... please don't tell me the wind up key is sone kind of pacemaker
I remember that homura had heart issues and health issues before wishing
Hopefully if she winds down she just goes dormant until wound again
And let me guess besides being a wind up toy she has nut cracker characteristics with some record player and hourglass motifs
Would explain the morse code if she can't talk much like yan, homulily movie version had nut cracker motifs but game homulily had a vinyl record for a hat brim and doppel homura lots of hourglasses
 
Not gonna lie, I was musing a bit before the update on "Did homura do something stupid and walk into the barrier, and that's why exposure X occured" and well... Hello Homura.

Wonder how in control she is at the moment.
 
I think Homura got unironically attached to X too much. This is...an unexpectedly emotional behavior by her usual standards.

By the way, Homura probably wouldn't die...too quickly...
Cherished Moments: On reaching 0 HP, spend 30 Charge to fully recover HP and gain 5 Protection and Stagger Protection that Scene. Next Scene, create a Parallel.
She herself has a pretty strong recovery move.

But given that DoSaM is unbounded, that amount of HP is probably basically irrelevant in comparison to the sheer DPS DoSaM's presence can deal out. So DoSaM would probably still need to worry about how to make sure Homura doesn't get herself killed trying to fight near one of the worst collateral damage inducing Abnormality (DoSaM).

Wind-Up Soldier, The Mosiac of Prometheus, and Daughter of Sun and Moon vs Nothing There is honestly a very likely outcome at this point, at least in my opinion.
 
... Thinking about it, I'm kinda surprised distorted Homura is here, since I'd expect her to still be hanging around Madoka... unless Madoka asked Homura to try to help X...
 
What was her reasoning again?

Ah, right. Calling your attack names is cool. And you're feeling particularly dramatic right about now.
Ha!

If you told me this whole thing with Kyoko, Nothing There, this fight sequence, all of it, was just a lead up to this, I'd believe and salute you fine sir. Personally I very much needed it, these kinda fights where all the attacks are so far beyond human and there's no giant robots or space ships to explain it are exactly the kinda thing I just start tuning out when reading. But this brought me back, a little humor and a little petty humanity. That's the stuff. The good stuff.
 
... I just had a thought: will distorting allow those currently without a body to manifest one?
It's pretty likely Homura isn't here yet, but due to the process of Distorting / her own abilities as a Distortion, she's currently manifesting a body over here (I mean, what use is a Wind-Up Soldier if it can't go where it needs to?)

Alternatively, the Quantum Tearing attack?

Isn't apocalypse bird required 3 bird to combine? Since we have big bird and punishing bird, apocalypse bird will not show up right?

And this battle perfectly show my conclusion that for future Aleph fight we will lure it to witch barrier first or forcefully make grief seed rehatch, since this will force the abno to return to seed
