jesus fucking christ wtf that was brutal as fuck
Yeah, even before he actually became a Void Dragon, Al really didn't have both oars in the water. Or even in the boat very often. if Zeus both saw this
and actually had a brain, he'd immediately start working on ways of getting beyond Al's reach for all eternity.
It still wouldn't work, 'cause Sparky totally fucked up so much that nothing will stop the delivery of the beatdown Al will be supplying, but it could delay it, at least.
Probably.
But very few versions of Zeus do have a brain (or part thereof) anyway, and the DC version most definitely is
not one of them.
So does this make Ryoko a half-sister or something going forwards?
More like child or daughter, I'd think.
Unstoppable insane dragon of madness is very much insane and mad. Levels of unstoppable vary, but this certainly won't do much more than slow him down some.
Though it probably will leave all sorts of psychological damage and scarring, which he won't notice/acknowledge for a ludicrous amount of time, or until Kary or someone with a similar attitude and privileged position gives him a sharp smack upside the head over it. Ryoko might grow into someone like that. Jinx might also.
Ryoko lives long enough that the difference between "her lifespan" and "permanent" is academic at best, assuming she's not straight up immortal.
Long-lived she is, but as a Void Dragon, Al will still far outlive her if nothing manages to actually kill him. Trying to achieve that already has plenty of folks that regretted it. Briefly.
He made Ryoko his sister or daughter.
Way to ruin the romance.
1) Dragon.
2) Jurai
3) Actual Gods involved
Consanguinity is irrelevant for these and many other reasons.
Ryoko is, crucially, still sealed (at least I think she is), but she also suddenly has a lot more energy than before.
Yeah, but now that she has the heart, eyes and tongue of a Void Dragon, I can't see it going at all well for that tree. Someone's about to get a really big surprise, and may even choke on it.
I am curious if that's why he included the key in the ritual.
That's certainly a fascinating observation, and I rather think it was, now that you've pointed it out. I didn't notice that angle myself, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that did so.
Of course, the key could just have been intended to metaphorically free her from her bonds. Only time will tell what else it unlocked at the same time.
Surprises for everybody!
Damn, MF, that was both really horrific and really, really metal. here's hoping Ryoko won't hold on to any grudges about her naptime, or Jurai is going to have a really bad, no good, awful
decadecentury. At least.
And the very start of that will be them assuming that they can successfully treat her like they did before. Yeah,
no.
I'm assuming doing that all at once was needed for the ritual right?
Aside from freshness requirements? Which it probably did have. There's also the point mentioned in this latest chapter that Areru probably wouldn't be able to make the attempt again after experiencing the first parts, and I don't see time making that much easier. Even Void Dragons have some limits to their madness. At least at such a tender young age, that is. I wouldn't wager against an elder or venerable one being casual about it though.
