So a question:

A little bit ago Alchemist revived Gael and turned him sane, Will he do the same with Midir?

Also with the village maybe/probably moving to the island will Alchemist use Wish or something to teleport the village or will he use his insane amount of GP to just buy a large prebuilt village. If he does choose to just buy a prebuilt village will it be something generic or will it be from a game?
 
Al's team could probably take him, now. The rest of the pantheon, though? That'd be the real issue.

It's part of why the Poseidon Summoning is a big deal. It's an opportunity for Al to clear one of the biggest threats from the field in a non-lethal manner.
Yeah, that makes sense, his continued existence just makes my blood boil tbh.
It's the same in… basically every story he exists in for me, don't take my whining too seriously<3

If it has to be from a game… he could buy one of the fortresses construction powers from a survival game maybe? There are a lot of good options there, but again Jinx has the nether scrolls so she can just ritual a fortress into being herself?
I *would* like him to actually build something defensible.

Doesn't really have to be a power. There're items for that sort of thing. For example, a 'Workshop' from Fallout 4. Basically a tool bench that allows recycling of materials, and construction of furniture and building bits.
 
Ahem.

Honestly, I get why it needs a lot of build up and prep work to flow right, but the more times I reread this the more I really truly want to watch Alchemist, Jinx, and Kar'yashlan tear Zeus asunder. Every little thing about him in this story makes me want his blood more and more. Maybe stuff him in Prometheus' tomb when they're done.
What do you think the flaming troll dolls are for?

Kill Zeus make hera queen of the gods bribe other gods with artifact that makes their main power stronger?
Trusting most Greek gods is a bad idea, trusting Hera, the Pettiest Bitch that doesn't make her husband do either his job has a husband or someone that made a promise to stop having bastards (that is a thing that happened in Mythology), but instead punishes his bastards just because they existed due to most likely their mother being raped. No, that is a extremely dumb idea.
 
not about trust, but to keep them from joining in the fight, by offering them power and the chance to get higher positions in their own pantheon by the killing of zeus
 
Okay uploading the library of Alexandria to the internet sounds like a stupid idea. The author also cocked Chekhov's gun by pointing out that Al does not in fact know what knowledge is within.

Trust is needed, since we have to trust them not to immediately gun for us or cause problems once Zeus is dead, that's the problem, cause most of them will, Hestia, Hades, and Hephaestus wouldn't, mostly because their either to kind, already has enough work, and doesn't care along with hating most of his family, but the rest will, either out of paranoia or some thinly guided excuse to kill Al and family cause they are a threat.
 
"But Infinity Island isn't sitting on a nexus of the Dragon Lines. Even when I put up the other seven towers and get the full elemental balance set up, it's still going to be a trickle-feed of magic into the world. This is going to take years, literal years before the changes start to matter."

IDEA:
Alchemist said Infinity Island sits on top of a minor leyline. Using Wish to cast Node Genesis (see "Underdark" and "Champions of Ruin") inside the caverns dug by the League of Shadows would turn Infinity Island into a Nexus Convergence of multiple leylines, preferably seven Earth Nodes as seven is the most magically powerful number.

This would greatly speed up the rate at which mana levels rise on DC-Earth, as well as make Infinity Island extra-magical.

Description of Node Genesis: "The spell's energy reroutes leylines and telluric currents, precipitating the creation of a Class-1 Earth Node."

So, an interesting bit of headcanon about Infinity Island.

Volcanic islands like it are in the habit of moving. That's not me making stuff up, either. Hawaii is an island chain that was made through volcanic activity.

So when Alchemist said that Infinity Island wasn't on a Dragon Line (Major Leyline), he was telling the truth. What he didn't mention is that it -used- to be on one and it's not really that far away. Maybe a few kilometers, definitely within sight of the island itself.

Given time, anywhere from a few hundred years to maybe a few millennia, a new island will erupt from the Earth in a blaze of volcanic glory right on top of the Dragon Line near Alchemist's island. It also means that there's probably a shallow sand bar somewhere within spitting distance of Infinity Island, the remains of the previous island that predated Infinity.

Alchemist casting Node Genesis... By the time he's done? A nature node will probably already be forming within the island without him actively working on it. Though it would definitely be amusing for him to try and cast the spell only for it to fail due to being in the vicinity of a naturally forming node, now wouldn't it?
 
What's a Node Genesis and what does it do?

On the topic of Ley Lines, with one being so close and the magical energy that's going to be pumped out form the island (part of a pantheon, multiple dragons, a sapling of Yggdrasil, and probably a dozen other things) wouldn't a new ley line form and connect, kinda like this imagine:
 
So, Infinity Island is STOLEN! By an unknown.

Will Ra's be Salty or send someone to Reclaim what was rightfully stolen by him?

Can Batman go to the Island any time or only when Alchemist let's him?

When will the others move in? Will Yuffie clean up all the Ninja Toys?
 
Given the amount of magic being put out by that island? I wouldn't be surprised if it formed leylines to connect to the nearest ones by itself.
 
Will we see one of the various alphabet soup agencies pull up on Alchemist's Village, either before or after they leave to the Island?

Scene:
Al: (tries to cast Node Genesis)
Al: (spell fizzes out) *pffrrrttt*

Jinx: (teasing) :ogles: "There, there, I hear it happens to lots of men."

Al: (rolls eyes)

Knowing Alchemist, the abandoned village will be booby-trapped with clear warning labels as schmuck bait for any villains or government agencies investigating him. Maybe spray-paint some hobo signs or SCP Foundation field code labels as a mythology gag to unnerve people.

"CAUTION: THIS AREA IS BOOBY-TRAPPED."

"MEMETIC HAZARD INSIDE! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"

"DO NOT FEED THE STRIGOI."

He probably would NOT create falsified archaeological evidence like that fake Stargate he put in the tomb underneath the Great Pyramids of Egypt, as pulling the same prank twice shows a lack of creativity. On the other hand, you can tell a lot about someone from the garbage and refuse they leave behind* (see the Question in JLU "Fearful Symmetry"), so Alchemist might go the extra mile and leave behind fake trash to confuse investigators about what kind of people lived in the village.

*Dietary habits, tech level, what materials are considered useless or a valuable commodity, how unwanted refuse is disposed of shows knowledge of healthcare or ecology, etc.

Well, the islands themselves only move at the rate of the tectonic plate they're sitting on. That location can and does move relative to the mantle hotspot/upwelling that causes the volcano, though, yeah. Tectonic rift or subduction volcanoes are much more static however.

...Why did Alchemist need an island with a volcano, specifically, as opposed to an appropriately sized and sufficiently private location without a volcano?

When the three letter agencies come to visit, from the Apocrypha tab.
 
Better off going to Athena/Minerva, honestly. There are some myths (possibly of questionable origin) in which Athena will usurp the throne and be a better King of the Gods than Zeus.

Not that any of the Greco-Roman pantheon are examples of good or well-executed bureaucracy, logistics, and/or benevolence. But Athena comes closest, even with the Arachne incident.

You're assuming Hera has any power to force Zeus to do anything. Her pettiness is because she is just an empty figurehead, with neither the true power or respect of her station (it's all derived from Zeus), nor the respect or love of her husband/brother. She's literally the fury of a woman and wife scorned multiple times. Getting angry at the lovers of your husband who are popping out competitors to your own children is simply something noblewomen of the past ages ALWAYS did, protecting the inheritance of their own children, and so it's reflected in the stories.

The issue is that the young justice government people are not that much different from Marvel's to mutants when it comes to metahumans and don't really know enough about things like magic to say it's not a meta power and then Al's healing on the vampire lines and Psimon's actions. Al already had worries about them making concentration camps for metas a while ago and then that happened so he's wanting the island as an undocumented place to stay that's not subject to US laws in case they pull an mcu and send in black ops or leak the location to hate groups.

These worries aren't even wrong because while I can't really remember much of season 2 because of how long ago I watched it and didn't like season 3 enough to watch it all there were things like metahumans being used as slaves and mysteriously being used as soldiers on other planets. Waller's meeting also had them responding to finding out how useless 90 % of their powers are said something like so it's not much different to confining humans then so it's really not unjustified because that's a huge red flag.
