A lot of the points you bring up is also why I enjoy this story. I primarily read as a form of relaxation, it is one of the few activities that isn't actively draining for me to partake in, and stories like this is particularly relaxing since I know I won't be hit with an unexpected feel-whammy as I go along.
This story will end when it ends, and I will be grateful for having been along for the ride.
 
I like this narrative style you have going. Some of my favourite parts of stories are the exploration and development of the power system of different universes. Seeing how they work, and affect the world. Makes me miss core threads.
 
It's nice to know that this wonderfully meandering journey of this story can go on without an end frame but if you're beginning to lose interest or some other event that makes you stop writing this is it possible to just push a little bit more an end at the end of an arc? I hope I'm not asking for much when the time ever comes but too many good stories end in a middle arc or end with a hanging plot line, I'd rather this story went like the ending to an old western where the hero saves the town and rides into the sunset to save another rather than... say... ending before the duel at noon.
 
As a person that suffers from extreme anxiety, let me tell you that having a chill no-stress story like this is amazing. I was in a pretty bad place when I binged the entire Arc 1 & 2 on FFnet in like a week. I was able to find some kind of zen while just reading this long story for hours on end every day.

I really liked Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Chronicles of Narnia) novel, but the movie was terrible. The book is a lot like this story in some ways. They are much more episodic and the overarching plot is something vague like "sailing east" or "fixing Sarah's warehouse". They can just do their thing and the end goals will take care of itself. Hollywood cannot handle this kind of plot. They just have to add unnecessary drama to everything no matter how badly it's done or how little sense it makes.
 
Arc 3: Man, building stuff takes forever!
Eve shivered as she felt her network of power speed up. Again.

It was so much more significant than the network of her half forgotten memories… So much cleaner, with no resistance or fear or h̝̯u̟͓̘͕n̟g̲͕͇̩͉̥e̝̫̙r͎̟̞̱̟.͚͖̜̤̙̖ͅ

Each node of the network had six followers in a module, and there were modules EVERYWHERE nearby now, with NONE of them touched by anyone or anything.

No influence, no taint, no lost souls from nearby births or deaths… Pure magic!

=Gaia: Your reach may be limited, but the local mako density is astounding!=

Mom had a point. Most of Gaia's domain couldn't even support mako gas, much less the liquid mako that flowed through her Lifestream. Only in the core of the planet was Materia crystals a common form of magical power, the rest flowed naturally to the massive areas she also supported.

It was why the loss of the Cetra had been so tragic for her… The odds of a species developing both the ability to influence her ambient mako concentration levels AND be capable of communication? Near zero.

Heh. At least such a thing USED to be nearly impossible.

=Eve: You know, Adam would be happy to help you with your… reach.=
=Gaia: {Confusion.}=

Right, mom didn't really have a connection with most of these humans except for little Aerith until now. Certainly none of the past connections with the Cetra in general were as clear as this most recent one, and nothing could compare with the Planetary Network Adam had provided with Eve's new home.

So uh. Innuendo and everything else to do with humanity was far too new for her to understand. Barely had the things around for 200,000 cycles or so, it was kind of understandable.

At least Eve had a close connection to blue skeletal flames of the father boning and silver bone daughter to help her understand her new family so much better.

That said, daughters lived to embarrass their mothers. Or the other way around? Not clear, but Eve wasn't going to let this go.

=Eve: I'm saying he is willing to get a core sample.=
=Eve: He's burning to take a magnetometer survey and find him some treasure.=
=Eve: Adam is prepared to study a celestial body.=
=Gaia: {Confusion?} I also enjoy watching the stars?=

Oh for mom's sake.

=Eve: He's into ḫ̦̱̺̤a͔̱̫̖n͇̱͙̲̺͎d͓̖̳͕̱̮̞h̗͈̜o͓̖͓̩l̥͙̼͍̣̱di̺̜̘ng͉͇͇.=
=Gaia: WHAT!?=
=Gaia: {Confused blushing! Denial! Confused denial?} It's not like that!=
=Gaia: You watch your mouth, young lady!=

Ha!

Her focus was jerked sideways as a dozen more magical nodes shifted straight pass liquid mako and began flooding with Materia sand. Because it wasn't crazy enough that these mako springs could generate more magic than entire species going through dozens of life cycles, no, they were able to become MORE efficient and powerful just by operating each other…

And blue skeletal flames of the father boning decided to just connect all this mess together with high transfer rate magical enhancing metal with internal structures that preserved mako density during transit.

Idly she wondered… If one of these many nodes solidified entirely into mako crystals, could blue skeletal flames of the father boning simply [[Harvest]] the metal parts? Allow the new design to fill in and crystallize itself with even more Materia sand, forming an entire magic generating mako spring out of nothing but raw magic itself?

A fascinating and honestly terrifying prospect. Even mom didn't have an entirely solid mako hub yet, and she was like super old!

Well, physically. Clearly a lack of communication for many eons had made it hard for her to develop advanced mental maturity… Or if she already had, she had long since given it up to avoid the constant loneliness and had to start again now that companionship was possible.

Something all too easy for Eve to relate to, sadly.

A quick check on her family…

=Baby33: {Swish! Swish!}=

=Baby01: {Confusion? Love!}=
=Demi08: Am I the only one who doesn't know who that woman is?=
=Baby33: {Swish, swish, swish!}=
=Demi02: I don't remember much after I was sold off, I've just been focusing on the cute blue angel babies and hoping the pain doesn't start again. Goddess Eve said she'd protect us.=
=Demi08: ...Goddess or not, I hope she will. My memories of that place were bad enough even as fuzzy as they are.=
=Demi04: I got my injections last in our group and some of the memory wipe chemicals ran out before my turn, but trust me you aren't missing much. Hojo is the jerk who was hurting us, most of the girls sold like we were didn't live long enough for me to try and talk to them, and most of these other women are scientists who tried to help us.=
=Demi11: Not that it worked. I had evidence, chemicals to prevent mental corruption, backup plans, I was so sure I could save the children… {Sadness} Wasn't able to resist the torture.=
=Demi04: You did fine, it's why you lived long enough to be included in our test group. Hojo was planning on getting more info from you, you really frustrated him!=
=Demi06: Hope he dies.=
=Demi04: Agreed.=
=Demi12: Yep.=
=Demi03: Yeah.=
=Demi01: {Confusion? Agreement.} Hojo bad.=
=Baby01: {Love! Swish?}=
=Demi07: Oh! Little Baby22 is learning to flap her wings!=
=Demi02: Daww!=
=Demi11: I'm not sure I buy the idea of a living symbiote hive mind whatever, but the little one at least looks healthy? I wish I had my medical tools, what if something goes wrong!?=
=Demi09: They somehow replaced my removed limbs and my missing organs, I'm sure these people can keep the babies safe.=
=Demi04: Shh! Horror memories and night terrors later, we're watching da babies!=

They seemed to be doing fine for now.

Which was good, because aside from these fifty-nine babies, nine women, and three pregnant mothers-to-be, Eve couldn't emotionally connect with the rest of the people saved from the laboratory.

Since she wasn't able to help keep everyone calm without the emotional connection, all those other victims and hurt people were being kept asleep for now. Some were apparently freaking out when silver bone daughter had brought them back into Gaia's domain and all that frantic stuff was going on to make sure nothing exploded and that Eve was properly set up in her new core room and local mako network.

But things seemed to be stabilizing. Eve was able to force all the excess mako to mostly flow into the center of the new 'Harbor Island', which was basically a giant spiral metal vase with open slits all up and down the sides in a spiral pattern. And that was it.

Nothing at all built up on top, funny enough. The 'surface' of 'Harbor Island' was barely above the ocean at all! And Eve could feel the odd metal magic bush thing he built inside the giant vase/thing, but most of THAT was visibly hidden due to the protective steel 'vase' on the outside, despite the many slits and slots for water currents to flow through.

At least he took their teasing well enough, though she expected the actual island construction to start again once this island core solidified entirely, ensuring the Materia shells surrounding and protecting the [[Summon:Leviathan]] Materia were all stable and able to handle the incoming magical surges.

Which was a concern.

Even now she could feel the initial mako springs solidifying while drastically boosting power production… and once they fully tipped over to solid Materia crystal, that was likely to force everything ELSE to start skipping enhancement stages as well.

As it was, she had established a hierarchy for power allocation. Almost everything was shunting mako to the island's core right now, hopefully speeding up the Materia shell crystallization process and giving her a safe target to dump all this damned excess magic.

Eve's domain wasn't big enough to safely handle this density of potential power after all. Not without dumping most of the excess into stuff like the material of her structures and (eventually, hopefully) directly into this Summon Materia.

It wasn't her fault either! She was practically still a newborn, even WITH this new network set up for her!

Sigh.

At least blue skeletal flames of the father boning said he was going to create some portable technology that would allow people not connected to him, silver bone daughter, mom, or herself. A connection method that didn't rely on anyone directly healing people near death while exposed to Eve's influence and special drugs that forced you to adapt and enhance yourself.

Not sure HOW he was going to do such a thing, but it would be amazing to meet more people who were nice or at least neutral and not people like the one who tore her apart and hurt her for so long.

Oh, she could still chat with them using the Planetary Network and having her new family of babies and slightly older babies talk as representatives… But it wasn't the same, really.

And she still wasn't sure what an 'internet' is, but it sounded interesting…

Her attention was SNAPPED back into her network as something clicked! One of the damned nodes fully crystalized earlier than expected and… Nope, there went another, and another and… Oh shit.

She sent out the d̰̗͖͙͈̟a̙̠t̬͈̰̪a̼̣͉ and felt the network respond!

<Alert: Prepare for a local magical surge!>

With a tight focus, she ensured that this sudden spike of power couldn't shift the carefully established Materia pattern in the six Materia shells acting as the island's core around a now blazing [[Summon:Leviathan]] Materia!

She did NOT want to know what would happen if this mess destabilized!

~~~Broken Adventure~~~

Sarah flinched! "Everyone stop and SIT DOWN! We got incoming!"

Most of the medical tubes were full of (Now once again) sleeping people, but all the happy floating blue winged babies and blue skinned white haired women focused on her in disturbing unison. Everyone else at least listened, having learned that Sarah had NO TIME for any shit right now!

<Alert: Local magical surge incoming!>

Shit!

Gravity dragged most people to the floor, an impossible and unknowable weight forcing something unseen and unfelt to pull them to their knees or prostrated out on the floor.

Well, most of them did.

Sarah ignored it easily, and suddenly all the tubes with Eve's children started to glow brightly with bright green mako connecting to each individual.

And from some unseen place, a moment in time, they all felt a Goddess behind them.

Without turning, Sarah could feel a bright blue angel with wide wings and silver hair, a woman so like herself, floating behind each and every one of those here.

Eve was within them, beneath them, behind them.

She stood in union, and a goddess reached out in love. In hope!

An invisible hand outstretched.

Sarah flinched as G͓͎̲͈̞a̪̖̭̬͖i̜̬̝̗̣ͅa r͎e͚̱͖̱̬a͖͔̦͍̠̟c̡̗͙̻h̛̙̼̺̳̹̺e͏̮̩͕ḑ͙ ͈̜͉̲̲̯B̑ͤ̽ͦ̉̍ͭ̒̐͛̚҉̧͞͏̢̮̪͍͚͚͎̗̰͈͎͓̜̺͇̦̭A̸̠͍͓̮͍ͬͩͦ̅̈́ͭ̿͠͡Ç̸̹͕̜͈̘̘̝͖̰̍̆̆ͭͯ̑ͤͭ͘K̛͈͍̤̞̮͕͕̱̝͋̓̐ͨ̀̀́̒̀̓̿͂̚̕͡ͅ.̷̊̈́̿̽̿̽̂͆̾͏̮̗͓͓͚̮̪̜̺̖͔̺̘̪͕̠͔͘͢͜

Immense!

A child under the night sky, a flower under the summer rains! Endless oceans, towering mountains, boundless heavens!

A towering Eve was gently cradled by an unlimited touch. A palm beyond any hand, an embrace too beyond to even fully understand.

Eve called for her mother and was accepted by the Planet herself.

Sarah felt raw joy flood the island, stretching farther and wider than possible to test or calculate. A fundamental change of possibility, a legend shorn and fate denied. A bond unbroken.

And for a moment, it all held still.

Balanced on an instant, a speck of possibility, Sarah saw a long lost one accepted with tears into an endless embrace. A lifetime of a single possibility.

It was beautiful.

And then Eve was there again, unseen and smiling and laughing and dancing as she flowed through the world, as her connection and Domain grew and twisted and twirled!

Though her angelic avatar was elsewhere, she was singing and moving and hunting and snarling and she spun through Wutai, the land of her home, of her friends, of her family.

Raw magic swirled inwards even as crystal chimes crackled in the air. Mako springs were snapping into solidified power faster and faster as the weather itself began to swirl and spin towards a nearly submerged steel island anchored to the sea herself.

And she WAS the sea.

Eve was connected to the land, to the water, to that strange protected copper bush Adam kept insisting was a tree, and she was suddenly drawing that raw potential to a single point. The power of nations was funneled to a fundamental location, drawing with it unheard of energies focused by a mind beyond all humans.

A single, red point of magical change.

Off the shores of Wutai Village Bay, a child goddess of the Planet called forth.

{̨̱͓̘̩́̍̇̋̈́̄ͅ{̭̥͠[̯͔͖́̈ͨ̃ͥ[̺̎S̱̙̙͚̪̖͡u̟͇̓͋ͬm̵m̵̟̯̹̩͉̰̑͑̌͛͒̏͆o̬̫̰̺̒́ń̶̬̗̝̿̆̐:͈̝̻̟͕̣̯̃̈̉ͥ̐̋͟L̙̆̓͂̊̔ͩ͞ẹ͍̙v̲̳̖͐̒͞iͬ̚a̺̪̞͚̺̋̌͑t̟̤̲͈͖͋͛̃̾͊h͉͎͙̰̮̹̺̐̔̽̔̒a̦͈͇̲̭̝̳͊̀n̽͛̿͢]̍̅̌͐̿̇̃]͇̪̥̫̭̆̾̉}̶̜̘͖̮͐}̻̹̹̣̙̱̩ͤ̾̓̐ͧ̀

And the sea was silent. For a moment.

"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"

Floating above the sea, ignoring gravity and reality, a massive green water dragon gently floated. Blazing red eyes glowed as it swirled into the sky, unrestrained by nature or water or reason as it gently shifted massive fins and an ominous red light glowed from it's massive jaws…

And it slowed.

And it froze.

A head larger than a mountain slowly shifted down, focusing on Sarah and stunned people surrounding her.

=Eve: How do I make myself smaller?=

...Uh. "I'm sorry?" <<Crap.>>

Oh no. <Adam?>

=Adam: Shit. I assumed that as you were the 'castor', the island itself would be 'equipped' to you and Leviathan would be under your control.=
=Eve: That… That is a big assumption there.=
=Adam: It seemed reasonable!=
=Gaia: Oh my little girl is all grown up!=
=Eve: I WILL bring up the other topic again mother.=
=Gaia: {Blush} Ah. Be back later everyone, I'm off to talk to the grandbabies!=
=Adam: Topic?=
=Sarah: No, don't get distracted Adam. The fuck just happened!?=
=Eve: Adam assumed that all this stuff would count as equipment to me, making me the 'user' and all this Materia being empowered as something I was casting, putting me in control.=
=Adam: WHICH makes logical sense!=
=Sarah: I gotta admit, Eve, that does sound pretty likely, right?=
=Eve: Problem is, I'm not a person. I am Gaia's child.=
=Adam: Ah.=
=Sarah: Don't 'Ah' me! One of you two explain this to me right NOW!=

The distant dragan sighed, slumping as Sarah glared up at it.

None of the people mentally involved right now noticed the stunned audience in the background watching a beautiful woman in a nice blue business suit apparently shaming a massive dragon that was also a formal and major part of their religion.

Elder Godo just forced himself up and back in his chair. "Everything handled, my daughter?"

Sarah waved it off. "We might have accidentally incarnated the Planet's child into a permanent summoning of the sea serpent Leviathan. I got it handled, and she's fine for now." Probably.

She ignored his unreasonable and apparently exasperated sigh and focused back up.

=Sarah: Don't worry Eve, I'm sure it's Adam's fault somehow.=
=Adam: Hey!=
=Eve: I suppose we were rushed… And I assumed this was Adam's goal to begin with, honestly.=

So help her, if her two friends didn't start with the explanations she was going to punch someone. <<Adam.>>

=Adam: {Sigh] Fine. Eve is literally part of the Lifestream, or magic. Well not really, but sort of? The point is, she isn't a user casting spells through Materia like I expected, she IS the magic IN the summoning itself. Her enhancements from us fixing her injuries allows her to treat that new form of power as an additional Avatar for her to operate.=
=Sarah: {Stunned.}=
=Eve: I'm still not sure what you wanted to happen if this WASN'T your plan. Summonings are just memories of momentous events, if I was a normal person bonded to this Materia all I could do would basically be aim the stupid thing elsewhere. And it would be a never ending repeat of that one memory, which in this case would be a tsunami.=
=Sarah: Shh. All of you shh.=

Right. Focus.

A worried ninja gently tugged her sleeve. "Sarah?"

Sigh.

=Sarah: Adam, you work with Eve and try to get her to focus down on the size of her new dragon body. And maybe a way to switch between active avatars if she dislikes having a dozen copies of herself wandering about or whatever.=
=Adam: Right. And uh. Sorry Sarah.=
=Eve: I should be fine with however many Avatars I end up with. Mom and I are great at multitasking! Just uh. Not good at keeping track of human stuff. Like time or not breaking tiny things.=

Shit.

=Sarah: You heard her Adam! Get her down to the size she wants before she accidentally bumps my friends out of existence with her massive serpent booty.=
=Eve: HEY!=

Smile. Remember to smile. "Yes Yuffie?"

For once her stolen shoulder buddy was off hugging the other little ones, letting her sister lean in alone. "Are you alright? Are we alright?"

Sarah sighed. "Yeah. Basically the Leviathan over there is now one of the new Avatars for Eve, and since our Planet Gaia has accepted her and she sort of merged into that sea creature, we may have accidentally given Eve direct control over the local ocean waters. Or all of them. We'll see when she finishes powering up."

In the background, Elder Godo sighed, talking to one of those hard to see people. "I require stronger tea."

Yuffie looked over at the massive floating green dragon-like creature slowly flying in circles just outside Wutai's bay. "How much stronger is she going to get!? I can feel how dangerous she is from HERE, and we're miles away!"

Uh. "One moment." <Adam?>

The data was vague yet concerning. Huh. "Technically that is still just raw magic, which is why she is so huge right now. She's going to use the other Materia at the core of the island as sort of skin layers to help consolidate her size down to something that can hang out with us more easily."

Which would drastically reinforce that magical power into something unusually sturdy. Sheesh.

Right. "So after she gets that under control, she should be able to concentrate her power and keep all that new stuff I made from causing us problems by just pumping any excess raw magic into that new body."

Her friend blinked, still watching the unspeakably large creature in the distance floating in the air. "So uh… Not super powerful yet but she WILL be?"

A quick check. Currently, Eve was only a few thousand times stronger than a normal summons… Give or take? With unlimited water manipulation abilities and the mental capabilities to gain minute control over any liquids within a large radius of Harbor (Currently Not Built) Island. Which was pretty damn powerful.

But compared to the benefits from this powerup still in progress? "I… Guess that is accurate?" Sort of?

Aside from those stupid Materia skills being used as Eve's freaking SKIN, Sarah was pretty sure that the entire mess would count as a single 'spell'. A spell with endless magic being pumped into it, magic that would compress further over time.

Good luck countering THAT. Or canceling it. Or even affecting it! Even without the special Materia spells involved, with this much power attempting to turn her into a toad or something would be like trying to push a mountain using your tongue.

Not that it would matter since that would get reflected before it could do anything anyway. Sheesh.

Good grief, it was theoretically possible Eve's new Avatar might even shift from basic magic all the way up to crystalized mako! What would a mountain sized crystal of Lifestream magic even be able to do!? Besides giving Sarah headaches and tempting Adam to make the woman a few more of the stupid things.

No, stay focused. "It's fine, Eve's a cool person and she loves me since I saved her from being tortured. She won't hurt us on purpose."

Again she ignored the odd sounds those bystanders made. Didn't they have something else to do? Lazy bums.

Seeing Yuffie wasn't likely to let this go, she searched for a distraction. "Uh… Oh look, I think Eve's figured out the issue!" <Adam! I need a distraction!>

=Adam: Uh? Oh, alright. Eve, this looks good enough... Yeah, go with it.=
=Eve: Are you sure? Something seems off about the pattern.=
=Adam: Nah, it will be fine!=
=Eve: Well, alright! We can always change it later and try again.=

{{[[E̛͢v̨͡e̢̛:̴̡͟͜ A͘͡v̴̧̛͡ą̷̶̛͠t̴͢͜͡҉ą̸̴͟͢ŗ̸̷͡͝.]]}}

A massive swirl of power twisted the impossibly large sea serpent… Down to something she couldn't see from here. "Welp! I better go handle that!"

Yuffie blinked. "Wait, what?"

Nope! "Love you guys but I gotta go dealWithThisBYE!"

~~~Broken Adventure~~~

Adam grinned!

=Adam: It worked!=
=Eve: What the heck!?=
=Adam: Now you are only the size of a small house! That's MUCH easier to deal with!=
=Eve: What happened to my skin!?=
=Adam: The fins and whiskers have [[Reflect]], so you'll have to block magic with them, your scales are solidified [[Wall]] which will cut down all damage in half, your flesh and horns seem to be [[Shield]], so aside from blocking nearly all damage your headbuts will hurt like a BITCH…=
=Eve: My hair!=
=Adam: Huh? Oh. Yeah, it's basically now transformed into those spines around your horns I guess. And the ones at the tips of your tail. Probably best to not have hair for a sea creature anyway, and the spikes look similar at least!=
=Eve: Why are my scales white and my spines, horn, fins, and whiskers BLUE!?=
=Adam: Uh.=
=Eve: You freaking REVERSED my color selections Adam! What the hell!?=
=Adam: Hey look! Your teeth are basically solid [[Enemy Away]], you could probably intimidate the heck out of people with a growl now!=
=Eve: Fix it! Fix my color scheme damn it!=
=Adam: Oh come on, it was my FIRST TRY! Cut me some slack here!=
=Eve: I'll cut your face!=

Ouch. Don't mess with her hair, got it.

=Sarah: Oh wow! You're so beautiful!=

His Jumper was now standing in ankle deep water on top of Harbor (We're going to build it, everyone back the fuck off) island as she grinned! "And you have cool dragon claws and stuff, unlike before when you were that weird gem green color snake thing!"

=Eve: ...I'll tolerate these changes for now.=

Adam's Jumper was best Jumper!

The totally awesome (and not accidentally messed up by Adam) white dragon shifted closer to the woman in a slightly wet blue suit. "I look alright? Even without your pretty hair?"

Sarah grinned as she gently touched the bright blue spines that acted like fur around Eve's horns. "You look amazing! How's it feel to not only have another Avatar, but one that can fly?"

Eve shifted, her body flowing behind her movements like a ribbon in the wind. "It's… Alright? This more feels like everything around me is just more water really. The magic itself is what keeps me swimming, being in air, water, or solid matter doesn't affect that."

Adam blinked. Huh.

=Adam: Really?=
=Eve: The spells used to solidify my surface and help repress my size are also made of me after all. I can choose how they interact with other materials.=
=Adam: That is SO bullshit! You can just go out of phase and whatever and flow through stuff!?=
=Eve: {Rolls her eyes.} I can ignore stuff for a little bit, but if I try for too long I'll just expand again and be massive. And why would that matter? I can probably just smash my way through most stuff with this level of energy available.=

Well, that was a good point. Summons in general are stupidly sturdy, even if they were only memories or events of significance they were pretty much built out of raw power. Even a basic Summon could ignore most counter attacks, and that was nothing compared to Eve's new body.

=Adam: Because going out of phase or being ghost-like is awesome!=
=Eve: What is a ghost?=

Uh. Good point. Most souls on Gaia returned to the Lifestream nearly instantly after death. Oh wait! Gaia mentioned something at one point when she used to put way too much significance in her conversations!

=Adam: When someone dies in an area drained of the ambient Lifestream, they can form up into ghosts. See here: {Midgar_Ghosts.data}=
=Eve: Huh. That's messed up shit right there.=

Yeah, fair enough. A world with a place for spirits to go would probably freak out when those spirits got held up during transit, which was a fair reaction.

=Eve: Why would you want to be one of these so-called 'ghosts' anyway? It looks like a white balloon with a tail.=
=Sarah: What does?=
=Eve: {Midgar_Ghosts.data}=
=Sarah: What the FUCK!? Is that a giant sperm with arms!?=

And… Now Adam couldn't unsee it. Just wonderful. Damn it.

=Eve: So Adam wishes to be a giant sperm with arms… How eccentric.=
=Adam: No. And don't you DARE add that to my name! I'm warning you young lady! I will NOT put up with it!=
=Sarah: Do it! Gaia and I got your back!=

Oh fuck no. <<You are NOT telling Gaia about that! Or any of it!>>

Her smug grin was NOT reassuring! Not at all!

=Sarah: Let's invite Gaia over here. She'd love this chat!=
=Eve: She's avoiding me since I got her super embarrassed.=
=Sarah: What!? How?=
=Eve: I implied Adam was into public ḫ̦̱̺̤a͔̱̫̖n͇̱͙̲̺͎d͓̖̳͕̱̮̞h̗͈̜o͓̖͓̩l̥͙̼͍̣̱di̺̜̘ng͉͇͇.=
=Sarah: {Grins!} How lewd!=

Oh Planet damn it, Sarah!

One odd thing. I know the "handholding" bit has meta data for additional context, but why would the "public" part matter? What counts as Public to a planet? Does Gaia have peers who'd judge her for doing stuff out in the open?

...and now I'm wondering if atmosphere-less planets would be considered exhibitionists.

Handholding = lewd. Public = in view of everyone.

No more needs be said because rules.
 
Two things one does eve now have two body's she's possessing at once? And I'm confused about eve being the child of the planet didn't she come from outer space and crash on this world? And her origins were never explained or if they were it was typical final fantasy wtf does any of this mean way.

Great chapter thanks for the update

Great chapter thanks for the update

so, this was explained in earlier chapters. This is NOT Canon Final Fantasy 7. And Eve, rather than being solely an invader, is closer to a child of the invader and Gaia, which was a lot hungrier than expected and so was pushed out of the lifestream. She needed a more pure source of mako to grow up properly, and so needed Adam and Sarah's assistance to both be rescued and to grow up properly.
 
The level of accidental Adam contamination is rising.
Soon all of Wutai will be into handholding in public and will not be ashamed to praise scaley booty to boot!
Adam Prime and all following shards of Adam will forever remember this shards adventures as the lewdest Adam.

Looking forward to Eve stabilizing her own avatar and interacting with people outside of her CORE with it. Also interested to see if Adam and Gaia ever start setting up Gaia with her own Make Generators.
 
Adam Prime and all following shards of Adam will forever remember this shards adventures as the lewdest Adam.
Warehouse Adam: "But I never even participated in anything!"

Prime Adam: "Lalala, I can't here you over how perverted you are"

Warehouse Adam: "You're the one with a harem! I'm technically a virgin for goodness sake"

Cultivator Adam: "Dude just accept it, you exist at the peak of lewdness"

Warehouse Adam: "Aaaargh!"
 
Oh goodness todays episode rocks! Were Aerith and Yuffie able to watch the kittens as well? Because everyone needs a kitten day.

edit: no I am not being sarcastic. Yes the kittens rock. And I can honestly see the kids spending a day watching kittens

Poor Adam. He creates Wonders and Miracles never before dreamed of in the worlds he visits, but the process always seems to involve him going "This is fine. Everything is fine." while blue flames rage around him. He's a being that looks down on Mad Science as lazy, wasteful, and inefficient and then proceeds to fix it, there's bound to be some small hiccups along the way.
