Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

My gut squirmed. I'd been counting on it being an instant kill, in fact, but Arthur wasn't dead. For that matter, she wasn't even fading. I knew that she was made of sterner stuff than me or Rika just as a matter of her being a Servant and a Heroic Spirit from a magic-heavy legend. Was her Magic Resistance really so incredible that she could survive that, however badly it had injured her?

Well, it was probably hampered by the fact that she is known as a man in life, and was raised as one.

So Goetia was gearing up to fight Zion before Taylor killed him? Sounds like something he would need to get put of the way before his plan could really start.
 
Good job @James D. Fawkes you captured the feeling of overwhelming power causing despair in Taylor and how she flashes back to Behemoth and Scion from it. But here is my question: Why isn't she remembering the Leviathan fight as well?
My guess is that it's a matter of methodology. Goetica ignoring NP's and trivially killing their wielders more closely resembles Behemoth's modus operandi as compared to Leviathan, or any other Endbringer for that matter. If "Solomon" had chosen to feign being affected by the attacks only to demonstrate shortly thereafter that they didn't have an impact, then she would probably be reminded of Leviathan.
 
Yeah, He was preparing to fight Zion and that was going to end up a drawn out, bare knuckle fight. No matter who won it would probably drawn a lot of watching eyes.
 
I squinted against the glare that was too bright even for my mask to completely dampen.
It was beautiful for a one singular fleeting moment.

Tesla attempted to dodge, throwing himself out of the way — but midair, he exploded
Can you tell, was keeping Tesla for America ever a consideration, or implication that it will be more of BB (no, not that one) Singularity make him less relevant there?

presumably because, unlike Behemoth, leviathan did get knocked around every so often, Alexandria at one point picked him up and slammed him into the ground, while with Behemoth Alexandria would slam into him and all it would do is get turned into a shockwave as Behemoth redirects all the energy outwards. leviathan wasn't an unstoppable force, he was a hit-and-run specialist, making small skirmishes where he'd then sadistically let people think they finally got the upper hand, then summon a tsunami and reset the board, that's a different kind of despair than Behemoth who just takes all the hits and ignores them.

the same is true for the other endbringers, none of them work in the same general methodology, they've all got different tactics, methods and focuses, and that'll reflect in when they're compared to other things.

Zion probably would have won the fight between him a 'Solomon' because a lot of his advantages against Chelsea have to do with his skills and abilities as a Beast and King of Mages. While as a grand Servant he is still really strong, he doesn't have his cheap instant win hacks against a creature like Zion.
 
Just about the only thing i know about FGO is how overpowered yet mind-numbingly stupid the antagonist is, and while the previous demonfights gave a good preview of that, thanks so much for showing me how disappointed a plothole can make me.
I don't care how explodey or artificially frightening something is, it loses all weight they do stuff like this.

Edit: Oh yeah and why is Jackie still alive if "Solomon" killed every other Servant that dared to try and actually attack him in any form?
Or Khonsu, Tohu, and Bohu. Taylor fought all the Endbringers except the Simurgh, and eventually faced the Simurgh when she recruited all the Endbringers to fight Scion.

It's the types of threat they are Behemoth is the lumbering brute 10 that's incredibly hard to damage especially because if focused it can no sell or even redirect basically any atk all while tossing out strong stuff like lightning or earthquakes or even just the kill order easily 1 shotting people as done here. Comparatively levi is brute 9 that's much weaker and frailer with the real threats being it's water abilities and when it stops messing around with cqc to pull out it's dash atks. Ziz is even weaker with it's issue being the flying, precog and tk having it be nearly impossible to hit all while screaming and occasionally using tinker tech. The Twins are set up so that even with their forcefields between layers they are meant to be blitzed so the tower can't dig in, build and bulk up and the power copier can't make and settle into it's choices. Finally Khonsu is meant to rub the Behemoth fight in their face and teleport all over while trapping people in it's fields. Scion similarly had high speed regeneration albeit normal def making it hard to tell when it'd been injured all while being able to causally dish out mass devastation and if it wanted to it could use stilling to negate anything if it bothered to look it up for it's own shards or use thinker powers for Eden's ones.

tldr The other endbringers are very different types of beasties than Scion or Behemoth.
 
So does 'Solomon' benefit from Chaldea collecting the grails or something? Even if you're confident that they won't ever be able to beat you and that you can kill someone at your leisure why not save the effort of tracking them down later or whatever when you can just... kill them all now when you're already there? It doesn't matter that you're thankful one of them accidentally did you a favor, if you're all "Haha, I am so much better than you that I'll let you go this time but you are totally dying in the next singularity anyway, I know that for a fact! Also I'll save you the effort of looking for it, it's in your homeland."

I mean for the sake of sealing a plot hole that'd be great. But nope. He's just so incredibly arrogant that he believe he holds them in the palm of his hand and crushing them now or crushing them later, it's all the same to him. In general FGO gets somewhat better about villains not just hunting heroes down from the beginning after Part 1, but until then you've got to roll with it.

He's really passive in his brain he's already killed Chaldea, so expending the tiny bit of effort to kill them doesn't even truly cross his mind. From what Solomon knows of Chaldea any mage who is capable of doing any amount of reasonable damage to him is indisposed and no matter what any servant summoned his trump card makes them theoretically worthless. Any sensible person would kill them while he's there anyways, but 'Solomon' doesn't bother.
