Bakuda's timestop isn't perfect, like Dauntless Joe would have moments of awareness that would allow him to use projection/gradation air in order to instantly create something to disable the effect, and that's assuming he doesn't just teleport out, or Joe might maintain consciousness throughout the effect because most of Joe's thinking no longer actually occurs in his head and brain.

Joe can teleport, open portals, and can travel through the workshop, banishing him to another dimension won't even inconvenience him

Mental Fortress protects from outside influence, and body puppeteers and manipulators like Regent and that guy who possessed Alexandria will run headfirst into his non-human demigod life-fiber chimera hybrid body, and Cyborg Hindu God Body.

Let's be honest in a fight Joe might not be guaranteed to win, but he's definitely unbeatable

Wouldn't that... Damage the surroundings a little too much? Mayhaps... Crack the planet? This is the Shards anti other Shards weapon were talking about, it should be more than enough to be a planet buster. A 'crater' is probably very much underselling it

Joe could also build stuff that normally counter momentum. The fact that he will still need to dig himself out of a crater after all of those anti-momentum enhancements and enchantments really says a lot about just what Sting could do, and it helps that Joe still does have an option of dodging to minimize the number of craters.

Yeah. He could win the battle but lose the war if he can't minimize the collateral damage, and that's his remaining worry right now. Sure, he's invulnerable now, but that just finalizes the whole World of Cardboard thing going around.

Huh, reading that description, Armthrift seems to provide a lower tier invincibility than the 600 Minecraft perk with "unbreakable" Red Matter, considering that the weapons only "don't seem to break". Does that leave some ambiguity about seeming vs truely? Also, what about effects that phase through/ break through stuff, like Joes's god spear?

Edit: apparently, Armthrift prevent Sting from killing Joe, while Red Matter prevents Sting from even harming him. Cool!

Joe builds Vortex Grenade effect into shield (so it can disintegrate attacks)

Shield applies effect to entire Joe's body

Joe is now both can slice anything and cant be harmed. Except both taken to extreme.

JOE IS NOW BETTER SIBERIAN THAN SIBERIAN

Alec becomes a responsible child by bringing his concerns to Joe and Joe becomes a responsible adult by considering them and looking for ways to help.

What is this power?(and how can one learn it?)
 
Well, Alec learned that he can call Joe or his team and chat. More importantly, Rachel has a date with Fleet. That likely will blow their minds.

I'm actually more excited about another gym scene. Those slice-of-life moments outside and interacting with people really make this fic.

In less than 2 days the S9 will be by and get curb stomped. That might not happen for another 6 months our time though. We've got Garment's thing and now gym stuff that will be set up for that. Maybe another side quest. I'm not really interested in the S9 stuff or anything related to at the moment. I'm much more eager to see him just walk about town and get drafted into helping some random casual friend. I'm excited about Garment's thing and the prep work and all the background folks that might show up there.

While I enjoyed the chapter, it really felt like Alec was being excessively vague in order to preserve various plot points rather then because he wouldn't want talk about things. I thought the whole point of the call was for Alec to open up communications, but I felt like almost nothing was actually said.

The whole call felt like Alec was saying, "Heya ya know there is stuff and things, and Lisa and Brian have stuff and things", and Joe replies " Gotcha, thanks for clarifying that there was stuff going on, and people had things they are worried about. I hadn't realized" Then Alex says, "Taylor has stuff too, not sure what though, but definitely stuff, or maybe things" Which Joe then replies, "I knew she had things, or maybe stuff, don't worry about it."

All so that the continued misunderstandings and confusion can continue, and no actual communication happen. The only thing I saw communicated out of the call was that the undersides could call Joe's team if they wanted.

With Joe, this sentence isn't complete nonsense, since there's multiple of him at any point in time.

Bur you probably mean "Got her to be at least fifty percent upfront with me."

"I've got a date with Fleet." Rachel announced, making her way back from the kitchen.

I'll admit, I giggled.

The Addendum Joe lacks its regular quality for chapter division.

Heck yes, Armsthrift is one of two perks I've been waiting for. Now, Joe is unbreakable. Poor Damsel of Distress is gonna be in distress when her powers do diddly squat to him. That's if she ever manages to hit him in the first place.

Now you're just teasing. This is literally all I've wanted ever since you got the Personal Reality Constellation, if not before.

I don't think that's actually possible, since that is the main thing I want....

Anyway, good chapter if a bit low-key. Now looking forwards to his visiting the gym. Still think at least some people in the gym are well aware Joe is a Cape, and most likely Apeiron (the Enigmatic Artificer). I mean, Aisha picked up on it. Are we really meant to believe she was the smartest/most observant person at the gym?

I believe this went perfectly, Alec is still loyal to his team, him calling was never about tattling it's more of testing the waters to see how much Joe knows about their situation, don't forget Alec himself has no info on the important things going on with his team. The call was to tell Joe that the teams not as great as they seemed at SR and tattletale is planning something dumb.
