Meanwhile with all these pile of trouble/conflicts.
(if she simulate a human process) Simurgh: 'fight already'
[after creating even more problems and continue note not only failure at simulation but a enemy]
Simurgh looking up and UP AND UP. a avatar bigger than a planet.
Apeiron' luck: 'here in these simulations I do not have restrains'
[greek gods, other traits (like the communication before a fight empowered by fiat] 'Hear, Hear' 'Get her!'
xxxxx
the above is just me really thinking is not 'just' jacob's shard playing the field. and that yes, The MC is that lucky to face wormverse grimdark and basically continue on without (true) problems

I do find it funny that joe is bigger than all the endbringers In terms of height due to titans blood. he can literally just chuck them aroud

Wait, Brian is only 17? Yet he can adopt Aisha? That's legal?
I always thought he was at least 21. Is it fanon to make him older?
And what can you trust her with? she has shown a propensity to weaponize pretty much anything.
I can't wait to see how she tricks the nanites into enhancing her bugs
I think I'll try predicting the rest of this fic. I don't know how close I'll be to the actual plan, but I've reread this story so many times, and I have some experience writing myself so I just want to try.
So, the coming conflict with the S9 will probably be the beginning of the final conflict, I think. Or maybe second to final, depending on how you look at it. When that starts, everything will just keep piling up. Uber and March will use the opportunity to act, and probably make themselves and the Butcher and maybe a few other parahumans into something like Titans (not actually Titans, because Zion is still alive, but something similar), which they'll be able to do because March is bullshit and Joe is deliberately choosing not to know about Noelle, but, in the end, it won't actually matter all that much because Joe is far more bullshit. But in the act of stopping whatever happens he'll have revealed enough of himself people realize their Thinker predictions are wrong and the Simurgh will descends soon afterwards (with actual prep, and maybe help from the other Endbringers). Again, won't matter. Joe will just beat them all anyways (actually, I'm kind of rooting for Aisha being the one that actually offs the Simurgh - just shoot her with ten thousand Gant lasers Aisha, you know you want to!), but in doing so he'll have revealed enough about himself there's no longer any reason to hold himself back, so he'll deploy, across the whole planet, maybe even across multiple Earths, and start saving people, all the while getting Panacea, Flechette, and Taylor up to speed in case he needs them.
Zion will eventually notice, and decide to act. Like an Entity, this time, with actual motivation, instead of a suicidally depressed god. That means Joe, or rather the entire Forge, will have to fight almost the entire Shard network at once, all the while evacuating the planet and probably many parallel earths at the same time. This will be a battle. A battle to see how much damage the Entity will do and how many people will die before the Celestial Forge finally overpowers him. Maybe Taylor will help, maybe not, probably not the same way as she did in canon, but Joe could probably make an army for her to coordinate. I doubt Flechette and Panacea will be needed. Everything they can do the Celestial Forge can do. Taylor still has something to contribute though, but I think it depends more on convincing Queen Administrator to rebel than anything else. Ultimately, I don't really know how it will end, but given the bullshit that is the Celestial Forge I don't think losing is even on the table, no matter what happens. It's all about how many people can be saved, and Taylor can maybe be of help here.
Then, in the final chapters, we'll see some scenes of Fleet, Survey and the Matrix as they scour the rest of the local multiverse cluster for the other Entities. The nature of the Celestial Forge will probably be explored a bit more, we'll see the aftermath and what kind of world Joe wishes to create, explore some more characters and reactions and relationships, then... finished. I think.
That's my best guess at least.

Here what Brian has to say about this in Worm:
Looking at who exactly Brian is employed by, and what he does for a living, I have to say: Great plan, Brian. Just fucking awesome, if I understand correctly. It is as reliable as Apeiron watch.

"So you know that [Enigmatic Artificer] thing where I accidentally brainwashed the entire planet? That was caused by poking around Jack Slash's power. I dumped too much power into it so it was really obvious, but Jack has been running around with a more subtle and insidious version with the same scope for decades."
To quote the old lore, ceiling cat is watching you

Disrespect the law, and you disrespect me.
No, no explanations. The reason why it happened should remain enigmatic.
That's a good lie, but a lie all the same, and one that could be exposed as such in several ways. He could probably spoof Thinkers, maybe, possibly. If he prepared extensively to do so, and got a better idea of the capabilities of the Shards. Another possibility is if another similar power appears from the Forge. And, even if there is no more such powers, Joe doesn't know that and so will have to act as if there are. Also, even if he manages go lie convincingly once, he might do so repeatedly, if he's asked again and again, and a refusal to answer could be answer enough by itself. And, again, it's a lie. I doubt he wants to do that just to explain away the awkwardness that is that power.
People took it to be a statement of intent/proof of identity ahead of his first public appearance (Somers Rock) and Joe hasn't really gone out of the way to correct misunderstandings this far.
It's such an impression honestly. Oh yeah, I need people to know it's really me when I interact with them. I know! I'll just make sure that an epithet shows up in their thoughts whenever they think of me. I'm so smart.
It's time for the next book in the Aisha YA book series "I accidentally convinced the members of my local gym my supervillain older brother is gay for my superhero mentor".
That perk wasn't in the original forge because it was only invented and put in the later editions of the forge as a tribute to this fic.
Thus the of course. It's just hilarious that he actually ended up making it a real thing.

If he had strategy trance as a perk, he could multiply the time acceleration by activating it inside the spiritron computer emulation shown in this chapter.
Per the text in the V3 document ("a few external seconds of trance can be up to 10s of minutes of internal time"), say you could get one second to 10 minutes, meaning with both combined you would have one second to 70 hours.
About 2.92 days of tinkering (designing phases, anyway) or other thinking time every second if Joe was so inclined.

Probably would have happened a while ago, so it would be entirely possible that Brian was just 16 in this hypothetical explanation. Which means that Joe, the 20 year old adult who also isn't gay has to let down this 16 year old highschooler both because it would be creepy and because he isn't gay.

So trying to get him modeling 'barbarian chic' was playful flirting all along.
At the start yeah I can see it. Then they just became closer as friends and it was an inside joke.
