It really is. Lord's exploration of the synergies between Joe's perks are one of my favorite parts of this fic.

The current butcher was a hero, right? I really want Joe to save her, I haven't seen many fics were the butcher becomes sane again. I think it would be really cool to see Joe save her, and the consequences that follows. Other than the obvious consequences, it would be funny to see the current butcher obsesses over Joe because he saved her. Op charisma score for the win? Butcher is the new Yandere ship?
LOL

I really want Joe to get Glory to Me. The minute he rolls that power he could probably be considered a literal god because he has full access to his divinity. Like, is Tybalt pretty much a god that was born a demigod, similar to Hercules in Percy Jackson because of Glory to Me?
Butcher-chan "Ahhh Apeiron-sama~!" *shoots a gazillion arrows that have no effect* "You're soooo strong!"
But who is the Tsundere ship then? Maybe Survey could be the quiet intellectual glasses girl? Mouse Protector for the energetic over the top antics girl? Any other harem tropes?
I'm actually watching Tenchi Muyo for the first time so I can be more familiar with the perks.

Genki, Genki girl. And that place is clearly the place of Tetra, what with all the physical contact she wants from Joe.
I just had a crazy idea for this. It makes no sense but I keep laughing at it. Piggot for the tsundere ship.
Sometime in the future, Joe has fixed everything and is uplifting humanity. Piggot is sitting there and comes to a terrible realization. She thinks he's okay. (Cue dramatic music) she then throws herself in MS confinement.

No she was a teeth member from Wildbow's WOG.
- Butcher XIV, Quarrel – The fourteenth in her line, Butcher was once Quarrel, before challenging the leader. Since the original Butcher was killed by a subordinate, both the accrued powers (only a fraction) and consciousnesses of the previous Butchers have been passed on to the one who kills them, the combined voices driving the subject mad if they do not follow the proper procedure of challenging the leader. As such, Quarrel gained a share of thirteen sets of powers on top of her own – the ability to make any attack strike its target, provided they are in range. Is a tall Asian woman with a costume described as stylized samurai armor, festooned with barbed blades, and a string of skulls at one shoulder. Uses enhanced strength to carry a gatling gun that would normally require a turret mount. - Cast (In Depth)

No comment replies this time. I just wanted to use a bit of the time I had after a busy holiday to wish everyone on the thread a Merry Christmas and thank you for your support of the story. The level of engagement and passion from members of this community has been heartening and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it. Writing this story would not be the same without the fantastic reactions, insights, and discussions that follow every chapter. When I first started work on this story I never imagined it reaching this point and now I feel lucky to be part of this community. I'm looking forward to continuing the story through the coming year and sharing it with all of you.
And some additional thanks to the people who help proofread the chapters and generate wonderful content for the thread:

I've been saying DoD since she appeared in the story.
My headcanon has been that's she's not as crazy or has such poor control as people think, she's just easily embarrassed and reacts with violence.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I've honestly never seen an author, that I liked, that puts out chapters of the same quality as this story as often as you Lord. Keep up the good work and have a merry Christmas.

Ah, the best trait of a Tsundere, the uncontrollable rage that they feel whenever the person of their affection does anything nice for them. And the violent aftermath.

I have one question how would Glory to Me affect various Minor Blessings?

LATE QUESTIONS:
=(1) Is Mantra generation now a worldwide phenomenon? Has this perk changed Earth-Bet's laws of physics so enough prayer can empower non-Apeiron people?
=(2) Can empaths like Gallant and Cherish sense the existence of Mantra energy if prayer is similar to strong emotions?
=(3) Would the Fallen's cult worship give the Endbringers a minor Mantra power boost? FYI, it'd be fitting if Mama Mathers died of Mantra overload, her body unable to cope with the energy from the Fallen venerating her.
=(4) Aside from cults, would "indirect worship" like a Christian "asking Jesus to watch over Apeiron" count as a prayer to Apeiron and thus empower him? Or does it have to be direct worship?
I don't really know much about Asura's Wrath, but I would wager that you need to be able to feel emotion to make use of Mantra. I'm pretty sure the Endbringers are emotionless, so Mantra wouldn't affect them.
The Asura's Wrath perk mentions a mantra engine being needed to utalize said energy. Ziz or Behemoth may be able to recognize some new form of energy suddenly appearing, but it doesn't sound like they will be able to control it or strengthen themselves with it.
IIRC, Lord clarified that for Mantra to give a boost, Mantra collectors are needed near the site of Mantra production. Since only Joe knows how to build these, I imagine that only Joe will be able to use Mantra.

Oooh, someone could do an Omake of this...
Master/Stranger, Teacher,
With Dragon moving to Brockton Bay, she has the best chance of "recognizing some new form of energy suddenly appearing": magic, chi/ki, spiritual energy, Aura, Mantra, Dragon's Pulse Alkahestry, etc.
Every time Apeiron gets a new type of energy, or alters Earth-Bet's laws of physics so a new type of energy can exist, there is a progressively greater chance that some Thinker* or tinkertech scanner/sensor will detect its existence.
The Protectorate had dozens of Tinkers, Thinkers, and PRT scientists studying the magical aftermath of the ABB fight, and at least one Tinker was inspired by Dust from RWBY. Furthermore, Dragon has access to all of these Protectorate/PRT reports and her cape powers gives her a high likelihood of noticing patterns in disparate analysis.
*Yes, I thought it'd be funny if an empath like Gallant or Cherish freaked out at sensing a literal cloud of emotion descend over Brockton Bay.
