Lol @ those pics. And your writing seems to have improved quite a bit author.
*snort* Yeah, the whole sequence was funny. But I especially liked how the "Regular Dragons" see Mordred. She's the hip and rebellious Goddess they've always wanted so they can tell the old codgers to stop whining about the good ol' days! And NO! It's totally not a phase or anything like that...

Well, I was more envisioning that she is kind of being treated like a popular Vtuber who they make fanart of and buy all of her merch but that works too.

Heh, I getcha. And considering how they were speaking that'd certainly be pretty spot on. I was mostly joking about how the middle picture is basically Mordred in a rock band, and all the "Average" dragons basically being edgy teenagers.
 
Haha the way the dragons treat Mordred made me laugh way too hard and the pictures in the author notes at the end were great. I liked this chapter and how serious the fallout from this attempted coup is being treated by the 2 sons.
 
I feel like this is all about to go horribly wrong. Anyone ever wonder where Scion went after death? Well, I have a horrible suspicion.

This is warhammer, and chaos is doubtless about to take the kids gloves off.

Well the war of Asavar Kul is on the horizon though not for a while. By the time thta war happens chaos will have made adjustments.

As you said, the big four have yet to put in any real effort or cooperation at any point during he history of warhammer. Nobody was ever given the mark of chaos ascendent after all, so chaos collectively does not have a true champion.

Now if someone like Abbadon came along, then we'd need to be concerned.
 
Glad to see this is back.
Loves the pics.
Humans see mordred as some dignified and clam goddess.
Young dragons seeing her as a rock star makes sense since she has done so much at such a young age.
Old dragons are just scaly dwarfs seeing her as a kid and grumbling about it.
 
The twins looked at each other and saw a reflection of themselves, and in that moment they were united in one thought. The perfect punching bag for their problems had come knocking at their door just in time to direct all of their frustrations at it and win back their people's respect.
"My name is punchbag and I have come to help release your stress and frustrations. Please use me well."
Not that they didn't deserve it but even if they had impersonated the most beloved Pendragon outside of Mordred Pendragon herself to incite a rebellion against the emperor, having the Goddess Mordred personally step in to denounce you and rip away your magic before leaving you to face the wrath of two very angry demigods that you personally slighted? Even a non-mage like him could understand how horrible that must be for a mage.
I have had a feeling you have been troubled over how you would resolve this. If Mordred would have involved herself, her sons would complete this without her and how this would have been seen as.
Not that I should be focusing on all of this, my sons had deftly handled their first armed rebellion with only a bit of help from me to punish the traitors and had the backing of hundreds of thousands of loyal soldiers to pull off their ambitions.
I think its also says something how little she thought that a bit of help was while for another view her involvement was the greatest intervention ever.
Dragons had lived on this world longer than even the old ones, they had to have some sort of wisdom to share with me.

"That's Mordred? She's so adorable while lost in thought!" "Hey, look at how similar my statue of Mordred is to the real thing!" "Ha! Mine is far superior, I managed to enchant the body to be adjustable for all sorts of poses!" "Fools! My painting of her is far grander than any statuette!" ""What a weirdo, statues are far better than some lame painting!"" "You take that back you heathens!"
Well, she isn't wrong.
Had Mordred herself come to save them? He snorted at his own silliness, it was just a wandering mage, the goddess had left them as Sigmar had.
Take up her workload with the same kind of vacation time and suddenly her departure will be seen a lot more reasonable.
"You sure that's a mage? What kind of mage wears armor and a spear? Don't they wear robes and use crystal orbs?" Landolf protested weakly.
Apparently royalty. The kind that's sensible.
AN: Hey, it's been way too long. As you can see, I have learned necromancy and revived this story after over a year of hiatus.
I, for one, welcome our great necromancer overlord!

Your pictures are freaking hilarious.

I'm glad you updated this story. It's one of my top favorites on the SV forum.

Thank you for the chapter. I'm grateful for your work. Cheers!

Honestly, it was more how to deal with the rest of the rebellion that was the issue, mages had only one real end result. When it came to the mages, they owe a shit ton to Mordred and her family. Mages went from hedge wizards who eked out a living from remote villages and hoping that they won't all be hunted down and burned at the stake to respected and valuable members of the community and guaranteed safety so long as they don't fuck around with magic that condemns their souls and drives them mad as well as help protect everyone if war comes knocking at the door.

Them using magic to impersonate Artoria wasn't just a betrayal of trust, it was spitting on the very foundation of everything they have now. Mordred is also considered the patron goddess of mages. If she didn't personally take a stance on this, then they'd assume implicit permission to do it again so it was best to make sure no one ever considered doing it again, by effectively performing a less mentally incapacitating version of Pacification. And everyone in universe knows that the only reason they weren't executed was because death would be a mercy for them now. As they have to live with the consequences of their actions.

I think its also says something how little she thought that a bit of help was while for another view her involvement was the greatest intervention ever.

And from her side of things, it's true. Johen and Greggory did literally everything else, all she did was swoop in and act as executor of the mages' punishment. She didn't have to do all the detective work, find any of the evidence, round up all of the rebels, sort through them for actual rebels and not innocent people who've been lied to, prove them guilty of treason, etc. She had to do nothing except for stripping the mages of their magic and saying they were complete fuck ups.

It's just that having someone who you were working to install on the throne and most likely worship as a deity, show up and strip away a core piece of your identity and something your entire life has been dedicated to leaves an impression.

Take up her workload with the same kind of vacation time and suddenly her departure will be seen a lot more reasonable.

Thing is, a lot of people are subconsciously making the correlation between Mordred leaving and Sigmar's abandonment of them, they might not intellectually think that she has abandoned them but it has left that little seed of perceived abandonment and betrayal. People might be wondering what Chaos is doing right now? Well, you didn't think the old empire was stuck in a state of decay and civil war for a thousand years just by the vampires did you? Decay and Stagnation, Plots and more Plots, constant Bloodshed, Excessive nobles and Overzealous witch hunters, it was a feast for them.

In current times no one is technically being corrupted but much like the elves, Chaos is still able to give very tiny nudges to hold onto emotions longer or feel an emotion a bit stronger. Nothing that would ever matter if there wasn't something else to plant the seed but they are capable of sneaking that seed tiny bits of water and nutrients.

I'm afraid you got the brothers mixed up in this chapter. Emperor Johen is the fire sword user who prefers melee and who dueled and killed one of the biggest Ork warbosses in history. Drachenruhe Elector Count Greggory is the lightning spear user who prefers magic and who nuked the horde just after said duel.

Huh... Whoops? In my defense it's been over a year since my last post, I was bound to forget or, in this case, misremember something. Well, I'll see about rewriting that today or at least by the end of the week, I really don't care for rewriting things already posted but I can't very well leave such an error in there. Thanks for pointing this out!

Yeah, I should state what while I enjoy seeing the discussion about sequels, the chances of ME personally writing a sequel is about as high as getting a half life 3. Technically possible but well... The best you can say is that it is technically possible. My muse has long since moved on to other projects and it's basically only the nostalgia of how much fun this used to be to write, me being stubborn about actually finishing the work I put out, the desire to keep my promises, and seeing all of you guys enjoy it that has kept me working on this.

That said, while I doubt it'd happen, I'd have no problem with someone taking what I've written and making their own sequel or spin off. Though, if someone does want to write a sequel, it'd probably be best to wait until I actually finish writing this. It'll only be half a year or so if I by some miracle manage to keep up an update once a month.


Edit: If anyone actually does make their own spin off/sequel, please let me know. I'd love to see it!

It would be funny for a sudden crossover with 40k.

If that happen i want to be happen before the great crusade era and modred will create an empire that resist imperium.

I'm not sure if she'd be strong enough to actually resist the imperium, or rather, Big E. 40k meta physics and mechanics are different from mordred's fantasy version, she'd definitely be able to go toe to toe at full power against Big E and it'd definitely take multiple Primarchs working together to stand a solid chance to beat her, based on my admittedly secondhand knowledge of them. But she has no technical knowledge so she'd be forced to either steal as much tech as possible and at best be too strong to effortless destroy, too unimportant to put effort into destroying for a while or go magitech which has its own problems due to Chaos being far more accessible and the aegis of Mordred won't be able to block Chaos nearly as effectively due to Mordred being much smaller scale and the fact that magic just doesn't operate the same way in 40k as it does in fantasy. And even then, it'd take a ton of work and time to get to the point her troops can face the imperium on even footing.

She'd probably work out a deal with Big E instead, letting her operate her world autonomously as desired in exchange for having what's basically a more powerful primarch that has limited space marines (her descendants I mean) on hand. She'd be able to swap places with him on the golden throne for short periods which would be enough for him to self rez and fix shit. Assuming she doesn't fuck up Horus's rebellion from the start.

Chaos gods there is rather hazardous to her even in God form.

Yeah, given enough millennia, she'd be able to protect herself but as she is right now, she just isn't established enough as a god to have the divine juice right now. She cheats via her insane magical and physical prowess but that only compensates for so much. if she, as of this moment, ended up in within the reach of the Chaos gods, be it fantasy or 40k, the only thing she could do is desperately run and eventually they'd catch up with her. And they would considering her plan is going to royally piss them off, it'd take someone more powerful than all of them combined to stop them from pursuing. If she ever used God Mode enough to get kicked out of the material world, the Chaos gods would bust down the dimensional walls between the realm of Chaos and the astral plane to get to her, ignoring the toll it'd take on them to do so.

Back when I first started writing this, I had the idea for a sequel where she runs through the void to escape Chaos and ends up coming across the DxD world during the great war before God dies. The thought was that in exchange for entry into the world, you can't sneak past Great Red/Ophis, she'd do a stint for a thousand or so years as a sacred gear. Opening up the ability to not so much as nerf Mordred but make it so she can't trivialize the setting like she mostly has in WHF and explore what would happen if there was another Longinus in the world as well as play with Mordred as a mentor to great historical figures in the world. Hell, if I set the time right, I could have Mordred be the sacred gear for DxD Arthur or Mordred instead one of the boosted or divided gears like in canon. Of course, all of that would require things to go seriously wrong for Mordred since she'd much rather stay at home and be the fun (great, great, great, etc) grandma to all of her descendants.

if the author wants to continue the story it would be very interesting to enter westeros and go knight of the rebellion against the lords

Well, feel free to write that one yourself or convince someone else to write it, I never actually got into game of thrones even if I know some stuff via osmosis and the rare fanfic that I've read. Though, from what I know, maybe nerf her down to her normal servant stats or something? Goddess Mordred is way overkill for a few dragons and an ice lich.

king arthur or mordred having either of those gears is fanon or something people just want not canon.

Damn, really? And it made so much sense too. Oh well, there's no way I would have managed to actually write a DxD sequel. Trying to make sense of the nonsensical power scale as well as the world building would have killed my motivation like it does every other idea I have for DxD no matter how fun that sandbox looks.

Drachenruhe Elector Count Greggory is the lightning spear user who prefers magic and who nuked the horde just after said duel.

I've rewritten the sections that were in error, nothing important has really changed besides fixing the mix up in combat style but somehow Johen ended up scarier as a fiery murderblender instead of as a scorched earth lightning blaster.
 
Yo, while I am a little leery of having three non-story posts in a row, I wanted to keep you guys up to date like I promised I would. I'm currently in the midst of rewriting my old notes that are now over a year old due to how the story has veered off the rails I had laid down all that time ago and because I started scratching my head on how some of my older ideas made any sense without author fiat filling in the cracks. Because of that and my preexisting difficulties with writing this, it's going to be a bit before the next chapter. Hopefully, this time I'll actually get it out by the end of the month.

To get some new posts in; I'm looking forward to your next chapter.

I'm still laughing at this.
I had a bit of a fun idea to illustrate the differences in how non-dragons see Mordred and how dragons see her and found a set of pictures that mostly fit the general idea. They aren't totally accurate but I think it works as a rough approximation.

I just binge read all of this and loved it!
I must say I'm kinda surprised mordred hasn't taken an actual lover yet, given she's at least 1/3rd Fae but the story has been awesome so far!
If she does end up having more children a daughter could be very fun, but I get if you don't want to add even more characters to your story.(or just think my suggestion is dumb, obviously.)
Regardless, have fun with your writing and I look forward to more<3
