I just finished watching the 'Crisis in Infinite earths' movie, boy do the producers didn't touch their hearts when it was the time to kill universes, i wonder if we will be seeing Alchemist in the middle of a 'Crisis' like event or if he could survive such event.
I mean he could easily survive just take an instant quest or use a spell to fuck off to a different multiverse.
 
Al should grab "Nonlethal Spell" From pathfinder, its a 2nd lvl wizard feat as long as the spell you cast doesnt have the "death" or "Void" trait it'll be non lethal
 
I'm reading the chapter where yuffie first comes to earth and says shes learning wizard stuff from fish cake. It took me a while to understand they were referencing naruto. Calling them fish cake got me a real good laugh thanks.
 
Yeah, At the end of the day when it's on such a scale you can't play the "There has to be a better way" Game you have to remember the consequences if your attempt to find "Another Way" fails. Honestly it's why I'm not a fan of Dumbledore and a Certain Non-Officer Position Captain

And good news from what I watched Earth 16 didn't get Erased in Crisis on Infinite Earths,,, It does get Primed though.

Also Mister Ficser I realised a way to get Impulse(The right Bart) Create a record on the system to have him arrive at that point, and keep it light on details except for notes about Vitamin D deficiency and the Time Machine being made of Scrap Metal as those would line up with his Future
 
Well he move away from outside source of powers every, adding to the help of Lucifer.

It a good thing the MC is a good person, otherwise he could do something evil like going to FGO. Evil MC: 'oh this timeline is too static/perfect/humanity will not grown without challenges...'.
Gaia: 'wait! I now have all my power back and I complete healed'
Evil MC: 'we can't have that, humanity must endure. FOREVER, in a single golden path in the timeline'
Gaia: 'nooooo! I want to be happy'
Evil MC: 'Enuma Elish! (the enhanced by multiple method of the multiverse edition)'
 
Honestly, for all people are talking about usurping his system or picking up new ones and trying to stab Terra-Tan, all he really has to do to hurt her is just block her, we've already seen that she's needy in just the right way to be hurt by her favorite gamer wanting nothing to do with her.
 
I mean, yeah, there's that too, but that's not truly why she's comforted, at most it's just the surface excuse for why it comforts her, which is stated (poorly) above: It's proof that she's not alone, or broken for being capable of making such a choice. There are people that are like that too, it's not just the monsters.
I actually thought the reason she was comforted is because she knows he won't hesitate to do what is necessary if Trigon is going to destroy earth using her as a conduit. She knows he'll kill her if necessary (although still only as a last resort) and not keep looking for another way until it is too late like she fears Robin or the rest of the Titans would.
 
Haven't read the worm thing yet will take me a while but I assume gaia is more a ditz than malicious.
Gaia is... A lot of things. Surprisingly complicated as a person and character.
She is more Alien than malicious. She isn't human, and doesn't have human wants, needs, desires, or dreams.
Add on to that, that she is fundamentally flawed, and was broken by her own children... Well, Zeus uses her broken remains as a chair, to put it into perspective. The fragment of a fragment that is Alchemist's patron is childish, whimsical, and does things without thinking about consequences. She isn't cruel to be cruel. She is... in a way, innocent of cruelty. Even though her actions result in cruelties; to her, they are just things she does on a whim. Not to be thought of afterward.
I mean, even in this update, she thought that Alchemist would like what she did. That it would be awesome.
Ignoring the fact that she just sent a person into a place that breaks heroes. Against his will.

isn't the gaia of dc just a fragment of the greater Gaia? Is terra-tan even related to dc Gaia beyond beyond connected to the greater concept of gaia? Cause from what I got terra-tan is a lesser offshoot of the greater entity like many fictional entities and was given administrative privilege's and from what I got here probably thought dc gaias fate sucks and was probably the reason alchemist was sent to dc?

Fun Fact: if you replaced every instance of the word "Gaia" in your post with the word "Yelough", you would get Elden Ring's creation myth for The Lands Between and the explanation for why the frenzy flame exists!

"It was not a sacrifice, Raven," Alchemist's tone turned harsh as he said those words and his head turned to face her. Somewhere, somehow, some of the stars along his body began to move, warping in a strange coil about his neck.

Alchemist would get along with Arthur from El Goonish Shiva quite well, I think (think Waller but instead of shrugging when she goes "it's the only option, doesn't mean it's not evil", he actually tried harder to get a better choice).

The original Crisis on Infinite Earths came out in the 90's and was the first massive reset of a comic world by Marvel OR DC. It was a single event playing out across an entire year, never been done before, and it updated DC to current times, getting rid of much of the baggage of the 50's and 60's books.
The movie is made from a storyline from thirty years ago!
 
Alec was right. Sacrifice is when it is chosen and known. What happened to those poor twelve hundred people was not a sacrifice, but it was necessary and Alec is not cheapening the price by calling it a sacrifice, nor is he ignoring the worth of what was gained for their lives. Alec's answer to Worm and Ward is probably the best case scenario, yet the price was high.
I mean, Unwilling Sacrifice is a big thing in the darker side of magic. Chosen and Known it may be, but Chosen and Known by Whom?
 
Unwilling sacrifice usually involves knowledge from the sacrificed, the ritual feeding on their reluctance, anger, terror and fear to further taint whatever magics are being worked.

If those aren't a factor, however? You're not dealing with a Dark God and can usually get by with just offering up a chicken or goat.
 
The original Crisis on Infinite Earths came out in the 90's

Crisis on Infinite Earths ran from April 1985 through to March 1986. That's much closer to forty* (40) years ago than it is to 30 at this point. It's just 7 months from that 40th Anniversary, in fact.

It was mostly a good effort and a good story, and actually rebooting/retconning an entire comic publisher's total catalogue was a shocking and brilliant idea. An utter shame that they wimped out at the last moment and didn't actually properly retcon everything. Which is why they've tried it again,and again, and again. But given they keep on making that same bloody obvious mistake each time, it just keeps on getting more and more messed up. (It's almost always some aspect of Bruce or the Bat Family that they just won't actually retcon properly each damn time, too, proving that a large part of the list of Editors In Charge have all made the same damn mistake time and time again.)

And that only kicked into high gear once the current/recent fools in chargepetulant toddlers forced Hal Jordan (worst Green Lantern ever!) back into modern continuity, casually undid (and retroactively massively cheapened) Barry Allen's iconic, heroic sacrifice from the first Crisis and also inflicted Flashpoint onto the world, over&over&over again. :jackiechan::mob:

(*) That's as much as four tens! And that's terrible! :D 🍰
 
Hi, I've seen a lot of mentions of Worm, especially in and around the recent chapter. Is this actual written content, or just an allusion to something else. If so, where can I read it, I can't seem to find it?
Thanks
 
Eh there are likely a few ways to avoid the demon lord arriving. She is his connection to the mortal plane so would a casting of Majustis remove that connection to Trigon?
Alchemist and us all know that but she doesn't. She thinks there is absolutely nothing that can stop her father from using her to invade. She believes the only way to stop him is for her to die.

Alchohol and bodies of prey animals, the first magical materials humans ever used.
Is there a chapter missing? I feel like there's a chapter missing, or an arc, what happened with worm?
There is an entire arc in another thread, see this post just above yours.
The Worm sidestory ran for 100 short chapters which were posted near-daily. It can be found in the Anime Adjacent thread starting here.

It's in the sidestory Terra came up with a variant meant for Worm and sent him to test it against his wishes now. Being fair it is stronger than most gamer in worm (excluding those that pick it as part of the cyoa so have a ton of other stuff like naruto chakra with it) and she did set him up with an identity and job. However, it was as a janitor, not financially that well off and well it's worm a miserable setting anyone sent there pretty much has to fix because only an idiot would rely on the canon solution that required multiple big thinkers setting it up and dozens of miracles to work and even then it did with a huge amount of deaths and collateral damage including basically ending an earth which just so happens to be the one he was sent to.
