Slaughtering the corrupt Eunuchs is a time-honored tradition of reform in Eastern countries so it's not like I have objections, mind. On the other hand the Limit Break being, basically, Ulyssian/Odyssial trying to determine how they can ascend to become capital-g God is certainly fitting with the hubris theme.
I know, right?
And it is somewhat amusing he can't find anything more efficient to do with his body other than slaughter every Vizier in easy range to run down. On the whole I'm like, lol.
Well, he determined that the optimal path was to remember who his was, so he didn't really have anything to
do with his body.
In the meantime Hell and most likely the Underworld and Heaven will be on our asses thanks to Anys. They won't give us the time to get that powerful again.
Boy, 250,000 XP and doubled XP for the rest of the quest sure would be helpful there...
Yes! when you go about it in a pants-on-head retarded way by pissing off huge amounts of people that could be convinced to either assist you of just not get in your way because you were so hyper focused on creating it and not bothering to explain to the "masses" because they "wouldn't understand your genius" it certainly is.
Uh, almost no one is going to be amenable to a plan of the form "Let me destroy Creation and remake it in my image." It involves WAY too much trust for the High First Age, also it goes against numerous Defining Intimacies, including Incarna Defining Intimacies.
That's actually not what happened.
If anything, the problem was the other solars screwing around.
Unless Rihaku retconned everything that led up to the Usurpation. You had fuckers like Desus and that Admiral guy Being the worst examples.
That too. Half the Solars were part of the problem.
While it's possible that Anys might try to turn Zao against us please don't act as if it is at all likely for her to succeed. For her to have even the slightest chance we'd have to do something disasterous to Creation or greatly harm Moon. Meanwhile with the entirety of Creation aligned against us (and thankfully against each other) thanks to Anys we need to increase our personal power as quickly as possible, and deliberately crippling ourselves by throwing away the Crown/500,000 XP and 2x modifier is a great way to be killed by a madwomen. Keep in mind that while embracing the Clarity greatly decreases the effects of our intimacies only the full blown Limit Break seems to completely disregard them so the situations where we'd hurt one of our friends are few and far between.
Odyssial has no fucks to give. For anyone.
The whole point of the Sidrael conspiracy was that no one knew about them as a faction. There was no way for Oddyssial to make concessions to the bronze faction because no one knew they existed. And until the current wracking, no one found out for thousands of years.
Not that Odyssial would have made concessions to them in the first place - he'd just have killed them all before they marshaled the DBs and traitor Solars.
The fact that Oddysial couldn't bother finding a less publicly destructive way to destroy the viziers with his body does suggest he has lost a lot of planning ability outside of brute force.
No, it was a deliberate choice. He wanted to make the consequences of corruption clear, but didn't have time to stage a big public execution.* Also, Odyssial knows that he is mediocre at inspiring love but incredibly capable of inspiring fear, and that, when the chips are down, it is better to be feared than loved, for men are weak and fear loss more than they value gain. He wants his enemies to understand that 1) they are never safe from him 2) they cannot run from him and 3) there is nothing they can do to become safe from him except to wholeheartedly comply with every fiber of their existence, and he will know if they aren't.
Terrified Helplessness, basically.
*Because he's fucking off from Luseng to figure out how to reintegrate Odyssial
